Reincarnated As The Hero’s Daughter: Wait, Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

-----

What greeted us was an enormous group of colorful slimes. They were finally fully recovered and looked very curious about what had just happened. I can understand. Just some time ago they had been captured and were in a state of coma, and now the tree that captured them was gone and they were in the middle of nowhere.

However, as if Pyuku's presence couldn't be more unique, his very existence calmed them down. Through my Senses, I could feel how they relaxed the moment their eyes meet Pyuku. The Aura that he emanated seemed to soothe them, somehow.

"Gyuh?"

"Guguh?"

"Kyuuuh!"

"Guguguguh!"

"Guh? Gugoh?"

"Gubo!"

They made all sorts of adorable noises, leaping over Pyuku and admiring him with their tiny eyes. They extended small tentacles, touching his face or eyes. Pyuku ended falling on the grassy terrain while laughing as they tickled his body. They seemed unable to speak words and made little noises instead.

"Ahahaha! W-Wait a second, you guys are tickling me all over- Hahaha!" Pyuku only giggled innocently at their act.

Everyone else was left slightly speechless of how playful these people were. We all had thought or imagined that they would… I don't know, act less childishly? But they were tickling him and all. As if they were just children playing with their older brother. But perhaps this was a way to communicate in a way.

"I-I didn't think they would just begin tickling each other." Aquarina raised an eyebrow. "Pyuku definitely doesn't like being touched that much so its weird he lets them touch him."

"Maybe it's a cultural thing?" Celeste wondered. "Among all Demon Tribes, we all have sorts of different cultures and customs, you know? Perhaps it is the same with these slime people."

"A cultural thing…" Mist sighed. "I wish I could know if there was anything regarding my people's culture." Zack's hand patted her shoulders.

"Don't worry, we'll eventually get there." Zack smiled. "Right guys? We'll go find her family in the demon continent."

"For sure." I nodded immediately. "Maybe once we're done with our Academic Studies?"

"Yeah I haven't forgotten that promise." Aquarina said with a gentle smile.

"Of course lil' sis!" Celeste nodded. "Do you think your big sis would forget that promise?"

"Yeah girl." Lara winked at her. "We'll find your family!"

"It's the least we can do for you, sis." Celica oftentimes called her sis too.

"Yeah!" Said Zephyrus happily.

"I've always wanted to explore that continent myself." Luck nodded. "Let's go there once we find enough time. Life's short, but I'm sure we can find time to help a friend."

"Everyone is so nice…" Mist was about to cry. "I don't deserve such good friends… I love you all!" She started sobbing while being hugged by Zack.

"Come on, this is not the time for sobbing over these things." He sighed, patting her head.

As that happened, we noticed Pyuku, who finally stopped playing with his new friends. He was perhaps several times happier than even Mist, crying and sobbing as he finally met his kin since his birth. They talked in strange and cute noises, and they touched tentacles. They extended tentacles with the color of their bodies, but the tips were always yellow colored.

Once they touched, I could feel small parks of threads of mana connecting with each other. I think they were transferring not only mana but nutrients and information. It was an amusing thing to see. They were truly different beings altogether than us.

Then, Pyuku approached us after communicating with his people. They remained slightly wary of us, staying behind. "I've talked with them. It seems they're all friendly. They said it would still take a while for them judge if you were trustworthy, even after I told them you saved their lives… I'm sorry."

"That's fine." My mother nodded. "I'm glad they're alright. So, do they have any plans?"

"Oh, can you ask them what happened to them and how they ended with that tree?" My father asked.

"I already did." Pyuku said. "Answering the second question first, they said they used to live in those grasslands. However, from one day to the other, giant grasses and plant monsters appeared out of nowhere. They tried to run away but were all captured by enormous roots and dragged into that tree. They thought they would die, but were instead deposited inside those fruit things, and slowly fell asleep. They said they had nightmares since then. As they felt their bodies slowly growing weaker. They might have been in such a state for… perhaps several years."

"T-That's awful…" Nepheline gasped. "Are they okay in the head? Maybe they need some therapy. That's not something you simply get over with so easily."

"I know, they'll need some maybe." Pyuku nodded.

"So they used to live in those grasslands. Perhaps we should return them there then? We are at the border between them and the desert…" Said Shade. "Unless they have other plans?"

"They… Well, they began calling me the "Slime Messiah" and think I am something like their new leader and King. So they told me that they would follow me anywhere." Pyuku said. "T-

This is a bit too much for me. I honestly don't know what to do."

"So they plan to follow you?" My mother wondered.

"Well, if that's the case…" Shade said. "Then let them. But they can't physically be with us. They're too many. Offer them two options. To either stay inside of my shadows like before…"

"Or a golem I can construct can carry them in a giant basket or something." Said Nepheline while nodding.

"O-Okay, I'll go ask them… They have no plans though. Maybe I should ask more about that too. Like where they came from. And also… Perhaps if they would be okay with staying at Agartha?" Pyuku wondered.

"I thought it might be too fast to ask them that, so I didn't say anything." My mother said. "But yes, if you think so, go ahead and ask them, boy."

"I-I'll do!" He quickly ran back to the slimes. And they started talking in their language. Touching tentacles and making cute noises.

Eventually he came back with a rather sour expression.

"T-They don't really like the idea… But said they will follow me anywhere though. I guess they don't like it but would?"

"Hmm, they're certainly a complicated bunch." My father laughed. "How about we eat something first?"
