Chapter 21

I woke up in great shape.

"Good morning, Sunny." - of course, she was sleeping on me.

She had few breaks during the night to eat. She ate almost a quarter of the supplies I bought her yesterday.

"You have no pity on me." - I said to her.

"Foood!" - she replied happily via our mental connection.

"Yes, yes... Food, I will take care of this" - I stroke her head.

I checked my tablet and there were already a few messages from Lily.

'Wow, that looks like a really great silk thread! I don't know what you'd like with it, but I have a friend who can look at it and tell you what it's best for. Sunny looks cute! A bit like a dragon snail or a fat tadpole... But sweet! And definitely better than when she was a larva... If you want, I can get you supplies for her again at a good price. Does she still eat a lot?'

'Yes, she still eats tons of food... I would be very grateful.'

'Sure, I'll write as soon as I get supplies for you.'

'Thanks!'

After that, I went to the training ground... Sunny was sitting next to me with a mountain of food and she watched my training.

At one point, when I had my whole arm covered in fire... A jet of water came out of her mouth. She extinguished my flame so easily... And wait... did she use magic?!

She started laughing at my expression and squealed happily.

"Hahah... You surprised me... You are amazing! You are able to use magic! You did it so easily!" - I said excitedly.

"Amazing?" - I heard a happy squeak today.

I got a couple of licks and then she started showing off her water jet. What happened next was pure comedy. Sunny was so excited that she showed off her new trick to everyone she met on the training ground.

"OK, Sunny, enough. I think that you showed this to everyone..." - I said to her when I noticed that a few Exceeds were hit by her water jet. I apologized to them deeply. At last they were not angry!

"Don't worry... This familiar of yours is strange but very amusing... She seems to be having fun." - one of them waved his hand and began to scratch her under the muzzle.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

After that, everyone went back to training. Sunny could only use water magic. I made her a few targets and now we practiced together.

During training with Light, we checked also Sunny's capabilities in using light magic, and she showed that she had great potential! Same with mater and plant magic. It was a big relief for me, mostly about light. It meant my worries about feeding this little monster could be forgotten.

Regarding my abilities... I created a powerful explosion of dark magic when I tried to extract some light from my magic. Light was knocked down by it, and so was I.

"It seems that your light magic is kinda... Hidden in your dark magic. It rarely happens, but most often it concerns the weak gifts. Don't worry. We just need to spend more time on basics." - he explained to me.

It didn't sound bad. I nodded and we started again. This time it was a meditation and I had to create a ball of energy made of darkness in front of me. That was the first step, the next step was trying to contaminate this magic with my light magic...

Sadly, training ended very quickly. Due to an earlier explosion, I couldn't practice light-bending without his supervision. I fully understood that. I also wanted to continue to focus fully on creating fire armor.

A few more days passed like that. Sunny continued to practice her water magic. She didn't want to practice other things, she liked the water very much and she wanted to focus on this. I didn't want to force her, I decided to be patient and let her do what she likes.

One day, she will be interested in other things than water. I mean... Food still was her biggest passion, but how she eats so much? Her stomach is a black hole?

The day before traveling to another world, I had a test of my abilities.

"OK, show me what are you capable of." - he stood in front of me.

I took a deep breath and quickly formed a fire armor on my leg. I attacked him right away, and when he blocked my attack, I hit him with a fist surrounded by fire armor. He was hit hard but only moved slightly. What level is he at?

"Oh, you surprised me. Well... You can go with us."- he wagged his tail with satisfaction.

"Yesss! Thank you very much!" - I bowed.

"It's all thanks to your hard work, I'm impressed. Tomorrow here at 5." - he left the training ground.

I took Sunny in my arms and headed home. She's heavy, weighing at least 25 kilos, but I've also started treating that as training. Nothing suspicious happened.

In the apartment, I prepared the pizza dough. I took out the ingredients and looked at Sunny.

"What do you want on pizza today?" - I asked.

"Meat, meat... Cheeeese!"

Sunny leaned against the edge of the kitchen counter with her front paws and watched me prepare her favorite dish. I put the almost-ready pizza in the oven and started to prepare another one. It won't end with one.

"Pi-zza! Pi-zza!" - this crazy creature stares at the clock on the oven and melodiously repeats that one word through our mental connection.

I shook my head resigned and prepared more pizzas. I actually had nothing against her behavior. Her mind was at the level of... a small child? She wasn't misbehaving or being mean. I also noticed that she is sensitive and compassionate.

Of course, I tried to teach her how to behave around others, but it was probably too early.

She ended up eating 11 large pizzas. I ate one.

I didn't have to pack because I had everything ready earlier.

I went to bed early so I wouldn't act like a zombie after waking up at 4.

Time for a new adventure! Or better not to exaggerate...
