"Look after your Papa for me, okay?"

"Ma!"

"Make sure he doesn't cheat on me, okay?"

"Ma?"

Vera chuckled as she patted Iris' head.

"Don't teach Eiko things like this, Iris," Vera said with a smile. "She's still a baby."

Iris stuck her tongue out at Lux, while the latter just shook his head helplessly. After spending a few days in Barbatos Academy, the Half-Elf had been targeted by several students who had a crush on Iris.

Naturally, Lux didn't fight them and simply told them that he was Iris' stepbrother. Instead of feeling relieved, the boys became even more aggressive, and some even cursed him saying how jealous they were of him.

Fortunately, Vera was always with him whenever he toured the academy, so no actual harm came to him. However, Lux's grandma told him that if he wanted the harassment to stop, all he needed to do was marry Iris after she turned sixteen and the problem would be solved.

Lux knew that his grandma was being serious about it, so he chose to stay silent and just turn a blind eye on it. He and Iris had already had a heart-to-heart talk about this and came to an agreement.

For now, the Half-Elf would focus his attention on the thing that mattered, and that was to get stronger in Elysium, and find a way to save the world of Solais from destruction. That was his reason for being born in the world.

After Iris clung to Lux for five-full minutes, under the glares of thousands of teenage boys who were wishing for his death, the young beauty finally took a step back and gazed at Lux with eyes filled with tenderness.

"Make sure to take care of our daughter, Papa," Iris said in a volume that was only loud enough for Lux to hear. "If anything happens to Eiko, I'll make sure to give you a piece of my mind."

Lux smiled and nodded. "I'll do my best."

Since Eiko and him were now bounded together by Fate, Lux decided to take good care of the baby slime and ensure that she became a strong monster.

"Goodbye, Grandma," Iris hugged Vera affectionately. "Please, visit as often as you can. Just a few days is not enough for me to tie up big brother and give you your great grandson."

"Don't worry, next time, I'll tie him up personally," Vera replied as she hugged the young beauty back. "Take care, Iris. Also, make sure that your father doesn't overwork himself."

Iris nodded. "Un!"

The White Hippopotamus, Sophie, transformed and became bigger, allowing Vera and Lux to mount her back.

Lux wanted to stay a bit longer to allow his grandma to spend more time with her son, and granddaughter, but he was on a tight schedule. He had made a promise to go to the Stronghold of Norria with Colette and the others, so he needed to return to Elysium as soon as possible.

The Half-Elf and his grandmother looked in the distance as the academy slowly disappeared from their sights.

"Lux, did Iris tell you about the upcoming tournament?" Vera inquired.

Lux nodded. "Mmm."

"Are you planning to enter?"

"Yes. If I don't, Iris will get mad at me. She will shout like a mandrake and wake up the dead."

Vera chuckled as she rested her hand on her grandson's shoulder. She knew what her son was planning as a reward in the tournament, but she didn't say anything about it. Even though Lux might not become the champion, Vera would not allow her granddaughter to marry anyone else.

After an uneventful journey, the two safely arrived in Wildgarde Stronghold. Lux decided to rest in his room for a bit and have dinner with his grandma before returning to Elysium in the morning.

There was also the matter of Eiko's skills, which he still hadn't chosen. Lux decided to rule out the summoning options that were available to her because she didn't need those at this point in time. This removed more than half the options from the list, allowing the Half-Elf to focus his attention on the remaining choices.

—-

– Health +2000

– Intelligence +100

– Underwater Breathing

– Lava Walking

– Air Steps

– Dig

"There are no volcanoes here in the Beginner's Area so I can skip Lava Walking for now," Lux muttered. "Underwater breathing is good, but slimes can already float in the water, and are good swimmers. She didn't need to become a submarine. The additional 100 Bonus to intelligence is good, so I guess I'll choose this one. As for the last one…"

Lux had to choose between Air Steps and Dig. in order to better understand them, Lux decided to look at the information about the two Skills, so he could finalize his decision.

—-

< Air Steps >

– Allows Eiko to move in the air as if she was moving on land. This skill consumes five Mana Point every thirty seconds, up to a maximum of a minute.

– Skill Cooldown: 2 minutes.

—--

< Dig >

– Allows Eiko to dig a hole and move underground. This skill consumes fifty Mana Points every thirty seconds.

– This skill has no cooldown and can be used as long as Eiko has mana.

Lux rubbed his chin as he gazed at the two choices. Both were self explanatory, but he was still finding a hard time to decide which skill to pick for the baby slime.

If he chose Air Steps, Eiko would be able to maneuver in the air, assisting him in battle. Dig, on the other hand, would allow her to safely dig underground, preventing anyone from running after her.

Both were life saving skills, and their only difference was their usage. After a long struggle, Lux finally decided to choose Air Steps. Although Dig was a good choice, Air Steps was more versatile. It also gave Eiko the ability to attack from above as she unleashed a barrage of spells that she had learned after absorbing the Beast Cores that Iris gave her.

—--

You have chosen the skill Air Steps.

After looking at Eiko's stats, Lux couldn't stop the corner of his lips from twitching at the cheat-like abilities that his baby Slime possessed.

Looking at her stats alone, Eiko was now considered a Rank 1 Monster because her combined stats had already surpassed 200 points.

Not only that, she had a vast array of skills at her disposal. The best thing of all was that she could copy any move with the help of her Skill, Mimicry [EX], This allowed her to double Lux's Skeleton Army in a heartbeat.

With such a cute baby Slime by his side, Lux felt that he was like one of those novel protagonists, whose cheat-like abilities would make the readers reading it scream "OP!"

"Let's sleep, Eiko," Lux said as he lightly patted the baby Slime that was yawning on his pillow. "Tomorrow, I'll let you meet my friends. I'm sure that you will get along with them."

"Fwen?" Eiko sleepily muttered before closing her eyes to sleep.

Lux smiled as he envisioned Colette's and Helen's reactions after seeing Eiko. Knowing the two little girls, they would surely pamper and spoil the baby Slime, who would give them a wonderful surprise as they continued their journey in Elysium.
