Chatting with Argee

It's really troublesome. Well, apart from the feet, uhm, and head, other part was okay. I cut the chicken into many pieces and let Ar wash'em.

"How big this kind of bag can get?" I was really surprised when Ibil gave me a magic bag. The first I got were some kitchen tools and two wooden bowls.

"Is it Ibil's? Hmm, if it's from demon princess private property, then at least... as big as our training ground, maybe. I heard demon royalties possess space-time magic." Ar gave me the meats on a big leaf. I wasn't sure from what kind of plant.

"Wow... so, if we save foods, it won't rot? When the baby born, let's ask her make some. We can sell it..."

"Talking to you, felt like talking with Rooga. Stupid. Not only memories, your knowledge also got zero. Sigh... the food will rot. Time magic could only affect things with no life. Don't ask why, because I don't know. Dead bodies, food, they'll rot inside a magic bag." (Ar)

No, it's normal like that. If you placed meat at ordinary storeroom of course it'll rot away. I guessed they didn't know about bacteria here.

I started fire with fire stone, and let Ar made some water.

I put potatoes and some wild vegetables that I found earlier. Yes, I made a chicken soup. I could barbecue with coals, but pure fire... nu-uh.

"Why put so many vegetables? We have enough meat here," protested Ar.

I chuckled, "I tell you, if you want to be a man, then don't hate veggies and milk. Oh! Please freeze the rest of the meats. Ice is a 'dead' thing, so it won't melt inside, right?"

Yup, now I have my portable refrigerator, I wouldn't give it back to Ibil. This is mine.

"I see. You're a genius, Sal!" (Ar)

No, boy, in my original world, this was a norm.

"Isn't it about time?"

"No... no. Didn't you see their power? We should wait until night. Anyone will drop their guard when sleep."

Again. Their voices were so clear to me. Ar didn't say anything so I guessed they're pretty far.

"Ar... didn't you think it's weird? Why was there no animal around? I maybe amnesia, but at least I know... this place should has one or two dangerous things."

Ar moved his eyes from the soup. "Actually, it's because of you. Your mana was leaking. They could tell how you're more dangerous than themselves."

"Eh? Really? How... what do I do to suppress my mana? Is that why I am feeling a little tired despite this super body?" I massaged my hands, pretending to be tired.

"It's just your imagination," Ar rolled his eyes rudely.

"So... how did you do it? Teach me."

"Well... I don't know. I had been doing it for as long as I can remember. You know... many humans at schools, and there are Roona and her mother at home. I just subconsciously did it."

"What? So... Roona was so quite because of me? And the villagers were so polite... also... because of fear?" I shocked to his revelations.

"Sorry... yes."

"So... why Ibil didn't say anything?"

"Duh! She's a demon, remember? She had more resistant to magic even more than you. And Roona... just ignore her, she always likes that. Hey... I think it's cooked." Ar focused once more on the food.

"Wait a little bit more. The meat will be more tender, I promise."

I was in trouble. When we're back, I must ask Ibil to teach me.

Hey, I just realized, were talking without wall. I could feel his eyes softened than when our first meeting. Don't see that his words sometimes harsh, I could feel 'care' in them. Like this, chatting about A and Z like a longtime friends. I guessed, this little trip was not vain.
