Death Valley

'Why? You ask.'

'It is for linking with earth element beasts to improve my earth affinity for developing a concrete alternative that can be used for construction and development of the infrastructure within the village,' was the truth.

But instead of saying that, Aru said. "To tame."

That was the best way he could answer for the time.

Instead of rambling about his plans for the future, it would help Mala understand his goal in simpler terms.

"You want to tame them?" Mala asked, surprised.

Taming is usually a difficult process which takes a lot of resources and time. No one would one day wake up and decide to tame a spirit beast like Aru.

"Why do you want to tame them?"

"For fun..." Aru hesitated and tilted his head as he replied.

"FUN!"

"Yes."

Fortunately, Aru's childish smile saved him. Or else, Mala would have really thought he was crazy.
