My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 581: Introductions 4

-----

Clishya was looking at the scene while sweating.

Well, she can't sweat because frogs don't sweat.

But frog-kin and frogs have something in common, they secrete a slime substance to keep themselves moist and protected from skin diseases and other things.

And well, she was producing a lot of it as if it were sweat!

She saw the two girls doing their best to talk but she was having a hard time even mustering words.

Despite all the things she had accomplished she was still having a very hard time talking now…

She felt so embarrassed and frustrated with herself that she felt like strangling herself for being like this.

She sometimes began to wonder why she was so shy sometimes! It was frustrating…

"T-T-T-T-T-This…"

Orb and Axitl suddenly realized they were leaving someone behind, as they quickly rushed towards Clishya and brought her to Frank's parents, sitting her right at the side of Frank.

"Clishya, calm down." Said Frank, as he held her sweaty hand.

His warm hand calmed her down as she sighed, her glasses were all steamy so she ended taking them out, the adorable girl smiled nervously yet gently at Frank's parents.

"I am happy to... meet my husband's… p-parents…" she said, suddenly averting her gaze from them due to her shyness.

"I am also glad to meet you, Clishya." Said Amelia.

"Yeah! You're also a beast-kin?" wondered Okita.

"T-That's right! Although it isn't as notorious, I am a frog-kin…" said Clishya, she showed that her fingers had thin membranes interconnecting them. Although most of her skin would look pale white, there were certain sections of her skin that were green, and a bit oozy.

"O-Oh! So interesting! I can't believe there's such… A big variety of people…!" said Amelia rather contently.

"Indeed! Very interesting." Said Okita.

"So how did you meet Frank, dear?" asked Amelia.

"Oh right! I meet Frank very early on… When he first came to Terra for the first week and was introduced into the Adventurer's Guild! It was a fun to greet him at first, and then he continued coming back with more and more monsters and… gaining a lot of money mysteriously." Said Clishya.

"Oh, so he was very mysterious! I see." Said Amelia.

"Interesting… How was he back then?" Asked Okita.

"He was very gentle… Although at some point his hair had turned white for a while… and he spoke more coldly and seemed lost…" Sighed Clishya.

"That was… when… well, it was when things happened after Hades' emergence, but it wasn't because of just that, I had also come back from Earth after the incident that took the life of my parents." Sighed Frank.

"Oh…" Said Amelia.

"I see…" Sighed Okita.

"So that was it… I actually didn't know. Oh well, he still grew strong and very brave, he became more open after a while… But it wasn't until very late that we began to date and then… W-We did a lot of love…" said Clishya while blushing.

"We once went to her village, it was inside a swamp if I recall correctly, it was a fun thing to do." Said Frank.

"Yeah, maybe you could come see the orphanage!" said Clishya.

"O-Orphanage? You grew in one? Me too! Haha, do you have a lot of siblings there?" asked Amelia.

"Yeah! T-They're all very cute and growing slowly… They were moved to the divine realm here so we could go meet them one day." Said Clishya.

"Oh my! I would gladly do so." Said Amelia.

"Indeed, invite us whenever you want to." Said Okita.

At the end, the group chatted for hours and hours, and the girls gave out their perspectives over Frank's relationship, each girl saw Frank differently in a way, for some he was a friend, for others a savior, and others saw him as a hero.

"Frank is my best friend… He showed me affection and told me that he would be at my side… S-Since then, I have never stopped thinking about him and his bravery… The things he did for me… I will never forget them." Said Axitl.

"I see. Were you alone, dear?" sighed Amelia.

"Indeed… I grew alone by myself for thousands of years… I don't want to blame anyone anymore, but it felt lonely and… I grew rather empty inside. At first, I hated Frank because he stole a dungeon from me, but after I spoke with the dungeon, Orb, I realized that the dungeon by itself was also a person, and I was wrong about being possessive with her, so I let her be at the end… After that I committed many mistakes because I just wanted attention… I-I did something awful back then and I regret it… But Frank forgave me… after I realized my wrong doings… and he even reprimanded me a lot but… he also protected me and was very comprehensive." Sighed Axitl.

"Oh my… Dear… I guess I raised a good boy despite all the wrong things I did as well…" sighed Amelia, she hugged Axitl.

"I-I think I am being overestimated a bit too much… I just did what any decent person would do." Said Frank.

"Hm, we taught you to be a decent person, but usually, it is very hard to find them… Even more after all the strength you acquired, Frank. Many people would grow corrupt with power, abusive, and bloodthirsty… They would leave away their humanity and grow into unrecognizable monsters… But you kept being a person, you kept being you… And that's commendable, son." Said Okita, patting his son's back.

"Haha… I-I guess…" sighed Frank while blushing a bit in embarrassment. He wasn't really capable of handling praises well and always felt embarrassed.

However, Frank still had developed a rather ruthless side, it was necessary to survive and become someone that wouldn't be played by others as he once was… but he did it so he could protect what was important to him, and it only made him in someone even great…
