Even though the ice cream I made has only one flavor, Lion and Ghost never seemed to get tired of eating more.
I mentally planned to make more flavors in the future as soon as I get the hang of these fruits.
The colors seemed to mimic the night sky though the flavor seemed to be opposite of that, rather, it tasted like morning. Like a cup of sweet coffee, but less bitter, I thought.
Soon, after eating too much of the ice cream which I am still amazed on how it LOOKED like ice cream back on earth. Making ice cream with no ice. Or a refrigerator.
Magic does wonders.
....
In the next few days, Lion and Ghost were busy setting up an ice cream business. They spoke so fast that I have a hard time keeping up and left them.
I went back to my room and opened the windows of my room. Lion made me a table and a chair and my room doesn't feel so empty after all. Pinky is at the garden, basking under the suns.
Good thing that Lion made me a magical notebook and pen the other day or else I would go mad with boredom. He and Ghost were curious about notebook and pen and I patiently explained to them about its purpose.
That is very useful, Ghost exclaimed. A lot of us doesn't use magic and it would be helpful to record something and not having to buy magic scrolls. For now, I decided to have this "invention" to myself. I don't want any trouble with the other magical item sellers.
Though the pen and notebook I'm using is no ordinary notebook.
The pen I'm using is like a 3D pen. Whatever I'm drawing on the notebook, it will materialize in a miniature version on top of the notebook.
If I want to go to the next page, the miniature image would disappear and it will look like an ordinary drawing again. If I wanted to erase something, the pen will erase it with just a single touch from it. Kind of like using a tablet pen.
....
I sat on the chair and put my notebook on the table. I was thinking of designing when I remembered that I only have one underwear. So I decided to draw all sorts of underwear on my notebook.
To my surprise, when I tried touching the miniature version that materialized, the image became real. Soon, all sorts of underwear appeared on my table.
I finally have new underwear!
I tried on one then suddenly feel shy. It looked so daring. Then common sense suddenly dawned. Who will see it?
I laughed mischievously and tried the sexier ones. It was so fun.
Well, it was fun UNTIL I remembered that I opened my windows. Like ALL OF THEM.
I'm so dumb. I suddenly feel guilty of calling dumb on some of the female characters of the novels that I read. Now I'm one of the dumb ones. To make it worse, I'm supposed to be an adult.
So I hurriedly went towards the windows, about to close it when I saw a creature staring back at me.
Cuss word.
Suddenly I forgot the way I'm dressed since the creature I saw is almighty scary.
LIKE REAL SCARY.
It looked like a dragon, only smaller but the eyes looked more intimidating since this dragon has multiple eyes all over its face.
We gazed at each other before I let out an unearthly scream.
Yeah, if you see that kind of creature, you would also scream your lungs out.
I do have enough common sense left to hurriedly grab a robe from the closet.
Thankfully, the dragon did not move (or eat me!) but kept on staring at me with his multiple eyes. I hurriedly with a world record speed, wore my robe while backing into the wall.
Finally I heard a portal opening and Lion along with Pinky and Ghost came out.
Pinky, with a mirror shattering squeal, rushed to the dragon and hit it several times to no avail while the dragon looked amused.
Yet his amusement was short lived. Lion, with a look that could kill several dragons, went to him slowly with a violet fireball on both his hands.
Ghost also is not to be underestimated. He transformed to his other form but he looked like death that is on his way to claim a soul. His pale eyes turned red. Like blood.
Sweet goodness.
I don't want to be enemies with these two.
....
At the last minute before Lion was about to throw the fireballs, the dragon hurriedly transformed into a human-like being that looked handsome. He tried to open his mouth to say something when his tongue came out of his mouth and it looked like a snake's tongue that is very long.
I take it back. He doesn't look like human. Even if his face is handsome enough.
To better picture out on what he looks like, he has a shoulder length hair that looks wavy and its color is same as the sea on shallow waters. He has wings on his back and his skin has some noticeable scales on some parts. His skin color is light brown while he has long fingernails on his hands. More clawlike, I think.
Thankfully, he has two eyes upon transforming or else my sanity would definitely go out of the window.
I noticed that he has no tail, a bit surprising since dragons usually have tails. I suddenly remembered while he was still on his dragon form that he doesn't have a tail too. Then I remembered that dragons doesn't have multiple eyes too.
I'm not on earth after all.
This being has several marks on his arms that looked like tattoos. He wore several bracelets too. He wore something that a pharaoh in ancient Egypt back on earth would wear only the colors looked like the color of his skin in his dragon form.
Suddenly I remembered that my new underwears are in plain sight and I hurriedly collected them all while everyone stared at me. I feel my face starting to grow hot and I tried ignoring their gazes.
Cuss word. I just had to say it.
After I collected everything, I stuffed them inside my closet. Ghost whistled out of the blue with an out of tune music (he changed back to his regular form) and kept looking at the ceiling for no reason. Lion meanwhile averted his eyes and cleared his throat many times.
Do you need to drink something? I glowered at him.
He shook his head and sighed. His face began to turn crimson.
Meanwhile the stranger found the situation amusing and started to laugh.
With a murderous look from both Lion and Ghost, (with Pinky who kept on hitting him with his branches) he stopped.
I'm here to help with the business, he explained to me while apologizing.
Meet Sly. Our new business partner.
