《They said I could become anything so I became a _____!!!》Chapter 9: I'm Singing In The Rain
Advertisement
Today it's raining. Mother-sama have gone to the village to buy necessary supplies so Taro and I are left alone in the house. Because of the storm she will have to stay in the villages inn for the night, which means that she will not return till tomorrow.
None of us wants to go out. And I who had hoped to evolve today. Damn you Creshna! This is the second time you stop me! As you champions pet can't you give me atleast some privileges?
...
It's reminding me of the day I fell out of the nest. The rain hitting the roof constantly, almost rhythmical. The thunder is roaring forboading and the lightning sounds lite cannon shots. I still don't like storms and the memory of last time haunts me. While I dont remember much I can still recall the fear I felt and how tiny and miserable life was.
I cover under the blanket in my tiny bed, similar to how I did when I was younger. NO! Don't think about that! Forget it!
I hope the storm ends soon...
"Ruth, are you Ok?" Taro asks and lifts the blanket, uncovering the shivering me? Shiviring? Oh man, I really thought I had grown out of my fear. Dammit, if I could I would cry. Taro looks at me with a gentle smile.
Taro cups his hands and picks me up.
"You are afraid, aren't you? It's Ok, I'm here for you." He sits down on the floor, in the middle of the room, and hugs my tiny body gently.
The lightning strikes directly outside, momentarely filling the room with light, casting terrifying shadows on the walls.
Taro suddenly tightens his grip on me. I can't help but squeak.
"Ah! Sorry Ruth, I guess I'm pretty scared too huh? Hehe." He gives me a sad smile.

You dummie. You need to tell me about stuff like this, how can I help you otherwise. After all, I am older than you are (technically) and I told myself I am gonna protect you. Ain't that right... Little Prince?
The lightning strikes again, now closer than before. Taro starts shivering. He is gonna panic if things continue like this. I too am afraid, but Taro is just a child. He always try to act so brave and make everyone proud. But he never shows how insecure he really is. I know this because he told me, after one of our training passes. He joke about it but I understood.
How many times have this not happened when I was not here? Too many. He sees himself as a burden. He knows who his father is and why his mother need to hide.
He knows why his father never comes to visit him, that he will never be able to live as an ordinary child and that deep inside his mother regrets meeting the king, even if she would never regret Taro.
I need to help him but... How can I help him?
...
...
It's obivious. There is only one way. The way I comforted myself, when I was still in the nest. I only need to sing.
At first only a single weak tune escape my throath, but soon I sing loud and clear. I pour all my feelings into it. All the sorrow, lonliness, fear, anger and love. I sing for Taro but in the same time I hope that the whole world hears me. From the moment I woke up in this world till now I have been keeping it in me. The sadness from dying, from loosing everything that I held dear. The fear of not knowing what this world had in store for me, knowing that I was all alone. The ANGER that rose from the unfairness I felt. And the love I found here.

Hear my voice and feel what I feel. I am with you Taro.
Taro is loosing up. He starts sulking, but not because of fear. It's all the emotions that he was holding in. They are bursting out, all at once.
It's ok. Let it all out. I am here for you like you are for me.
He cries until there are no more tears but even then he continous sulking, gasping for air. The entire time I sing, silently casting healing magic on my throut that gets soar now and so often.
It gets dark. Taro falls asleep on the floor from exhaustion. I continue to sing. It's not until it stops raining at midnight that I stop. I feel empty, but it feels good at the same time. Haaaaa... That was more exhausting than all off my training.
Suddenly the screen pops up.
//Your skill Bird Song have gained two levels! Bird Song has reached max level and evolved into Siren Voice! New evolution path unlocked!//
Oh, that's good... Huh? Evolution path?
Another screen pops up.
//For evolving Bird Song into Siren Voice you have gained one level. You can now level up! Please choose from following evolutions. Your level will be reset to 1 after evolving. Obs! Evolution cannot be changed afterwards until next time you have enough levels!//
Terror Bird(common)
The most common evolution of the bird. Uses its claws and beak as its major set of weapons. Can use limited physical buff magic to momenteraly power up and Minor Air magic to make itself fly faster. Highly sought after as a hunting pets because of its vitality and strong appearance. High reproduction rate.
Siren Bird(rare)
Uncommon evolution unlocked by high level singing. It uses its song to entrance people and can manipulate sound. Has more magic capacity compared to Terror Birds but has lower health and raw physical strenght. Siren Birds are also much more intelligent than normal birds and can grow much older, comparing to human lives. Despite its sound related abilities it cannot talk, only repeat words it has heard. Highly sought after as an pet amongst nobles because of its charming apperance and beautiful voice.
Despite being tired as heck I jumped up (almost waking up Taro) and stared intently at the screen. But the choice was obvious. While Terror Birds sounds pretty cool, the Siren Bird is waaaay more awesome. Also, you can't be the Heros pet and be called a Terror Bird. So Siren Bird it is. Sorry phoenix-san, you will have to wait.
The moment I choose the Siren Bird I feel immensly tired. Ahh, it's this kind of evolution, hah? Well then off to sleep. Good night Taro~~~~...
I hope I will look OP...
