Chapter 390: Silly Tiger
Chapter 390: Silly Tiger
"Oww..." Jimmy stroked his head even though he didn't feel any pain. He scanned his surroundings briefly with a dazed expression. "Where am I? Have I gone through the process of rebirth? Am I in heaven now? Why is this place a little familiar to me? This isn't a dream, is it?"
Jimmy could see a white winged-tiger that looked a lot like his big sister. Then, two humans, a human baby, and a fairy... Wait, humans?
"Evil humans! What were you guys doing in my dream? Are you still dissatisfied after hurting me until I got a sudden terrible heart attack and died, huh!? You also want to target my spirit even after I'm dead? Don't expect that to happen! It's my dream, so I'm the one in power here. Rawr!" Jimmy immediately put on an offensive stance as if he was about to counterattack. However, he felt his body shorten a lot.
*Bonk*
Vanessa knocked on her little brother's head. Her brother ruined her sad moment, and again her brother was still that stupid even though he had become a helpless spirit. "It's a grave offense to accuse the saviors. Is this the same attitude you had when you first met the humans about five or six weeks ago, Jimmy?"
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
Vanessa didn't realize that her strength was big enough to send her helpless little brother flying and bouncing like a ball for several meters. When she realized that, she looked at her paw and her brother with surprise. She was sure it was just a soft knock, but well...
"Ow, oww, oww... Hey, it's rude to attack me without any prior notice. Don't think because you look like my abusive big sister, you can act like her. Oh, even if you are a winged tiger, I won't tolerate it either. Apologize to me and kneel before me before I get angy." Jimmy stood up again on all fours and patted the ground.
"Hehe, look at his behavior. Isn't he cute and silly?" Nell muttered as she covered her mouth.
Elysia and Rhea agreed with Nell's remark. While Elena just watched everything with an exciting look. The four of them agreed to leave this moment to Vanessa and Jimmy.
"Huh? Not only did you fail to recognize me, but you also thought I was another individual? You even mocked me by calling me the abusive big sister, hmm?" Vanessa grinned and walked closer to the little tiger. "After running away despite being warned and dying silly, it turns out that your stupidity didn't heal either. Let me do something to make you remember who I am."
"Eh, wait... Why does all this feel so real? This is my first dream after my long wait in an unknown realm. Besides, why didn't this big white tiger obey my command?" Jimmy muttered in a mosquito-like voice.
After that, he looked up slightly to see the approaching white tiger. "Ah, um... Your expression is quite scary. Wha- what do you want to do? O-hey, this is my dream, and I'm a big boy. Ahem, let's do this."
Jimmy convinced himself and put on an arrogant and lofty attitude as if he was the master of his dream realm. "Hoho, you're approaching me? Instead of begging for mercy or running away, you decided to approach me, Jimmy the great?"
Vanessa didn't want to hear for another nonsense. She just grabbed her little brother's scruff and picked him up to her face level.
"Hm-hmm~ What are you asking me to do? Can you say that again, J-I-M-M-Y?" Vanessa closed her eyes and smiled kindly, but a horrific-like aura radiated from her.
Jimmy went limp at once. For some reason, this white tiger was very similar to his big sister. Even this fierce attitude was also similar. About 99 percent the same, maybe.
"Ah, uh, miss... You scared me a little. I didn't say anything. You probably heard that wrong. Err... Now that I think about it, how come you know my name? This is my dreamland, right?" Jimmy gulped his saliva with nervousness and tried to figure out his current situation.
"Unfortunately, this is not a dreamland but a chaotic mortal world. Welcome to the world of the living. I- I... You have no idea how sad I was when I found you dead on the Human Continent. It's been more than a month. How is it at your end? I am Vanessa, your big sister. All of this is real. Can't you tell the difference? My Goddess master and the Goddess of Life have summoned you with a sacred ritual."
Vanessa opened her eyes and replied. She continued, but her voice became a little hoarse again. Yet, she held back tears to welcome her little brother. After all, they could only be together for half a day.
"..." Jimmy was silent for a few moments, then he decided to answer with a guilty expression. "Sorry."
"That is it? That's all? Just a sorry?" Vanessa asked for more than that.
"Sorry for making you worry. Sorry for going against the warning. Sorry for making you sad. Besides all that, sorry for leaving you with no words and ending up dead on a foreign continent." Jimmy took a deep breath and sighed sadly.
After considering several factors, he decided to believe that this was the real world of the living.
Jimmy looked into his big sister's blue eyes. So, this white tiger was really his big sister. His big sister was on the verge of crying. "There's no reason to defend my decision. You can hit me or whatever if it doesn't make you cry."
"You-you little tiger! You stupid, arrogant, idiot, strong-willed! How can you--" Vanessa beat her little brother and vented her frustration, as well as her sadness. She did that while crying.
Meanwhile, Jimmy just accepted it all as if it was his destiny. One advantage he received was that he did not suffer from any pain.
After a few moments passed, Elysia decided that was enough.
'Well then, I guess this is enough. Please stop Vann, Ely. I'll check the spirit summoning ritual scroll first~' Elena disappeared from the world and entered Elysia's Soul Realm without anyone noticing it, except Elysia, of course.
'En, I did intend that.' Elysia approached the white tiger and gave a light pat. "I think that's enough, Vann. What will happen if your brother dies a second time?"
Hearing that, Vanessa immediately stopped and put a little distance between herself and her little brother. She was aware that she was beating Jimmy down with no strength just to vent her anger, but that was enough to make her feel a bit calm from her temper.
Then, she helped the winged tiger that was lying on the ground return to his feet.
"Hey! You human girl, how dare you touch me. You monkey people don't know who I am, huh!? You will be surprised to know who my real identity is. Let me go! Rwaoor!" Jimmy protested. He tried to rebel, but he was helpless and could only be picked up by the human girl.
"Can't you calm down for a second?" Elysia smiled wryly and patted the little tiger's lower back.
"Woo, that's sexual harassment! Even though you're a human girl and I'm helpless, that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want to the great me!" Jimmy rebelled once again. He even tried his best to bite the human girl's hand and succeeded once he was released.
*Chomp*
The following incident surprised Jimmy very much. This human girl just let herself be bitten by him with no resistance at all?
Vanessa wiped her tears and was so shocked to see that. She immediately tried her best to reconcile everything before her master got angry. "Jimmy, what are you doing!? Are you asking to be eliminated now and forever? You insulted and bit my Goddess master! Ma-master, please forgive my brother. He just a dump as a goblin. Jimmy, be an obedient little tiger and apologize now!"
Jimmy released his biting grip from the human girl's hand. But, this human girl wasn't hurt in the slightest. He wondered in confusion.
"It's okay, Vann. Nobody got hurt, and Jimmy couldn't hurt me either." Elysia stroked the white tiger's head, then turned her attention to the semi-transparent black tiger. "And for you, please calm down and understand our current situation. As a matter of fact, we are going to Brisline Woodland for those fire lions. Also, we want to know about the realm of the dead from you."
"Wow, we are going to war against those hateful, evil fire lions? Please count me in! I want to avenge my father!" Jimmy raised his hand to participate as if he already knew the plan.
Yet, he remembered his big sister's words just now. "Ah-umm... Are you really a Goddess? Divine being?"
"You can guess." Elysia faintly smiled as she gave a vague answer.
"A-oh! Please forgive the lowly, mortal me. This humble little tiger failed to see the great majesty and glorious divinity. O the great Goddess, bless your glory, and please forgive me." Jimmy immediately knelt down to beg for forgiveness. The one before him was not that kind of monkey-like human race, but a divine being in human form!
"If you ask for forgiveness like that, then I have accepted your apology. Instead, I need to apologize to you, Jimmy." Elysia stroked the little black tiger's head to signal him not to kneel.
"Huh? Why do you need to apologize to me, Glorious Goddess?" Jimmy looked up in confusion.
