While making our way to the restaurant that Kajithe recomnded, I browsed my Inventory List through my Phone BNLO App, finding the items I had stored there. They were "gamified" to an extent, although they still didn’t have ranks or proper descriptions, only showing glitched letters if I tried to see their details.
However, they appeared as items with their full nas and perfectly pixelated icons replicating the original item’s appearance fully. The list was big, as I had purchased more than I should have. I really did get a bit greedy there, but I wanted my baby Spiritual Heart Beasts to eat well!
What’s wrong with that? I’m always spoiling my pets if I can, after all!
Now, to the list...
[Thunder Hare Fangs]
[Fire Lion Fur]
[White Salamander’s Shed Skin]
[Spirit Emblem: Multi-Eyed Beholder]
[Spirit Emblem: Golden Light Butterfly]
[Erald Turtle Shell]
[Black Goat’s Horn]
[White Drake Scale]
[Spirit Spring Gold]
[Spiritual Soul Weapon Art Scroll]
[Golden Spiritual Art Scroll]
[Spirit Core Fragnt of the Seven Rainbow-Tipped Starfish of the Starlight Sea]
[Rainbow Horn of the Iridescent Heaven Serpent, King of the White Sky Serpents]
There it is. It’s a bit too much. I showed it to Mark, who was shocked at how much we had actually purchased. These materials on Earth’s Underworld Market would surely cost millions of dollars each, and I bet the last three might be worth hundreds of millions, right? Or perhaps a billion.
"That’s quite a lot of stuff... I imagine they’re for your new pets, right?" Mark asked. "Thunder Hare Fangs go for the Thunderbolt Lion, the Fire Lion Fur for the Volcanic Sli, and the White Salamander’s Shed Skin for the White Sky Serpent, am I right?"
"Yep," I nodded. "As for the Erald Turtle Shell and Black Goat’s Horn, I don’t know. These ca in the bundle and aren’t too compatible with mine, but I got them for you or everyone else. Do you have any affinity with them?"
"Let check..." Mark said, touching the materials once I showed them to him. He waited for a reaction within his Spiritual Heart Beast Egg. "No, nothing... I guess none of these are up their alley. Except... Hm? Oh, this."
He touched the Spirit Spring Gold, and he seed to react to it. So I’m guessing whatever he had in that egg liked eating rocks, tals, or gold in particular.
"Alright, you can take it," I said, giving him the gold piece. "Let your egg absorb it over ti."
"How do I do that, though?" Mark asked, confused.
"Eh, I think you just have to keep it in your pocket or sothing?" I wondered.
He did just that, placing the gold inside his pocket.
Then I watched as the gold slowly released an aura of colorful yellow, infusing itself into his body.
Well, it worked as I imagined! Nice.
"It worked!" he said. "I guess that was easier than I thought... Not bad. I can feel the power slowly reaching my Spiritual Heart over ti... Hmm, the egg is indeed feeding on it. It’s so weird."
"It’s like you’re pregnant, haha!" I laughed.
"E-Eh? That’s even weirder..." he laughed a little. "Wait, what are those emblems? We purchased so, but what do they do? I rember the cat said sothing about their power coming from Spirit Beasts?"
"That’s right. He said that by infusing them with magic, the Spirit Beast power manifests temporarily," I explained, holding one of the emblems. "We can’t test that right now, though. We’re in the middle of a city."
"Really interesting, if I say so myself," he nodded.
"You can have this one, dear," I said, sharing the Spirit Emblem: Multi-Eyed Beholder, a giant mass of eyes, with him. "This might have interesting effects."
"Ooh, nice, thanks!" he smiled with a nod. "Next ti, I’ll buy you sothing myself."
"Well, I’m looking forward to it then~!" I giggled. "Now... I guess I’ll feed the materials to the Spiritual Heart Beasts right away. Let’s not waste ti."
"You three, co out!" I said, and all three Spiritual Heart Beasts manifested.
The Thunderbolt Lion, the Volcanic Sli, and the White Sky Serpent erged in their ethereal, glowing forms, small and cute, and also... well, weak. They had yet to mature like Khione’s Spiritual Heart Beasts, so they had a long way to go.
As they rested in the palm of my hands, I offered them the materials I had purchased from Kajithe, which were just what they needed and what they had actually chosen themselves, ideal products extracted from Spirit Beasts that seed to align perfectly with their elental affinities.
For the Thunderbolt Lion, I fed him the [Thunder Hare Fangs]. He started eating them rapidly, his tiny fangs breaking through the hard fangs with ease as sparks of electricity ca from his little fur. I noticed a small, cute mane form around his neck.
For the Volcanic Sli, I fed him the [Fire Lion Fur]. The Sli spread out its blazing, slimy body and started absorbing the fur, dissolving it by burning it within its fiery body and then rapidly absorbing what remained, a rather peculiar way of eating... Oh, it was becoming bigger and rounder, cute.
And lastly, the White Sky Serpent ate the [White Salamander’s Shed Skin], which had the sa beautiful white color as its scales. The creature nibbled at the shed skin with tiny bites, but with each bite, its own scales shone brighter and had a more pristine and smooth appearance. It also seed quite happy, too, waving its little tail around as it eagerly ate the entire shed skin.
With Mark and then Katherine, who was nearby, we watched the three little beasts eat their first proper als. They loved them, feeling satisfied after that.
Their changes were noticeable, having beco larger and more robust, but not yet enough for their Evolution to Adult Stages... However, I would say we were getting there! I cannot give an estimate, though, but we’ll get there... eventually, hopefully.
Once the Spiritual Heart Beasts ate their lunch, I suddenly heard the Voice of the World. It seed that even for things like these, I could occasionally hear her... It was a bit odd, honestly.
