Alantina Online: The Greatest Sword Mage Reborn As A Weak NPC

Chapter 114 Companion Pet? Part 2

The fairy stared at Vance. She took in his words and began trying to figure a way out of this. She was currently in a cage and couldn't escape. Although this man said he would set her free if she wanted, she could not be too sure. But at the same time, she knew if she got caught again, she might end up with someone who would treat her as dirt.

The fairy went back and forth, trying to decide. She went over all the pros and cons of what she should do. If she were able to go free, she would need to forage through the forest alone and would always need to be wary of her surroundings, afraid of monsters or the humanoids who wish to capture her. After almost four minutes of deliberation, the fairy made her decision. "Before I answer, what do you plan to have me do?"

"We are adventurers. Our goal is to become the strongest in the world. If you wish to stay with us, you will be treated as one of us. You will not go without food or clothing or even a roof over your head. As our companion, you will be treated as family." Vance answered honestly.

The fairy looked at Vance and then at the girls in the room before saying: "Then let's do the contract."

Vance smiled and held up the talisman. To use it, it was simple. You dripped a drop of blood on the talisman and then place it on the person you wanted to enslave. Vance opened the cage and did just that. He placed the talisman on the fairy. It flashed with a golden light creating a magic circle just as big as the fairy itself before enveloping her.

[Life Quest]

[You have chosen to take the fairy as your companion. You have unlocked the companion system? allowing you to raise your companion as you see fit.]

[Reward: Evolution Fruit X2, 100 Fairy Kingdom Favor]

As the light dimmed, Vance suddenly heard a voice in his mind. [Master.]

"Hmmm?" Vance was confused but then realized the voice was the same as the fairies. [We can talk in our minds?]

[Yes, Master, as we are now bound by contract. Contracts with fairies are different from other races. We are mana based lifeforms meaning when you form a contract with a fairy. Our mana waves are connected, allowing us to talk like this.] The fairy replied.

[I see. Then welcome aboard. I still do not know your name.] Vance did not just want to keep calling her fairy or something like that, so it was necessary to have her name.

[Name? I do not have one.] The fairy replied. She lowered her head, unsure of what to answer. She had never had anyone ask her name before, so she had never cared too much about it until now.

[Then….] Vance thought for a moment. He then remembered one of his favorite novels about a dragon girlfriend[1]. It also had a fairy in it. [Then how about Mina?]

[Mina? Mina…. Mina….] The fairy spoke the word a few times before smiling slightly and nodding her head. "I like this. I will now be Mina from now on."

[Then Mina. I am glad to have you at my side.] Vance smiled and reached his hand out to the little fairy. She looked at the hand for a moment before slowly getting up and flapping her wings. She flew out of the cage and landed on his hand. She looked up at Vance and felt that she really did make the right decision. She wondered what would have happened if she had been sold to someone else.

[Thank you for buying me.] Mina replied. The two were looking at each other, smiling, causing the four girls to stare daggers at Vance since they did not know what was going on. The two had suddenly gotten friendly out of nowhere!

"Vance!" Alice reached up and pulled on his nose. "Are you going to leave us just hanging here? Why are you two staring lovingly at each other?"

"We are talking. We have a telepathic connection now. Anyway, her name is Mina, and she is now part of our group, so treat her kindly." Vance poked Alice's cheek, causing her to purse her lips. She looked at the little fairy, who was now looking around curiously, and couldn't help but find her to be cute.

Alice reached into her inventory and took out a bowl, and filled it with some warm water using magic. "Mina, come here, take that off, and come wash up. I will help."

"A bath!" Mina excitedly ripped her clothes off, not caring about who was in the room, and flew into the bowl of water and began washing her body.

Vance laughed as he pulled out a bar of soap and broke a small piece off, and handed it to Mina. "Use this. We will change the water in a few minutes. So make sure you wash up good."

"Mmm! Thank you, Master!" Mina was all smiles. She was glad she had made the right choice.

While MIna bathed, Vance looked at the Evolution Fruit that he had gotten from the reward. He had never heard of such a thing before.

[Evolution Fruit]

[A one-time use item.]

[This item can only be used one time.]

[Will allow the person eating it to evolve one time. What they will evolve into is random.]

[Notice: All evolutions will be half human humanoids.]

Vance was quite surprised. Did this mean he could change his race? Not that he really wanted to since he had a family to look after. But… Vance looked at the little minx in his lap and wondered if she would turn into a fox or cat girl if he fed this to her. He wouldn't mind such a thing. To be able to fluff her while he fucked her would be an interesting experience.

--AN) Time to ask you all who you think should get the fruits and what they should evolve into. I am open to any and all suggestions. So leave a comment here and let me know!--
