"...So... um... w-what should I call you?" I ask Nerina's friend as we're all sitting at the table, and I'm serving them drinks. I can't believe they both saw me in such an embarrassing test moment.
"You can call me Arial, little fruit." When she says it like that, I feel strange, especially with the way she refers to me.
'Little fruit? Like actual fruit? Is it because I'm serving fruit?' I glance at the fruit on the table. The island kind of only has fruit, a few small animals, and mostly monsters around. Nothing else, so all I have left to serve is fruit.
"Ah, right. You can call me Evelyn... are you an ocean nymph too? Not trying to insult you... but you seem weak?"
"..." Her expression keeps the smile on her face.
"It makes sense to think that. I have less magic than Nerina, but I'm without my two cores, so I'm not weak, just weakened. Plus, my real body isn't here, so I emit very little magic. But no, I'm not an ocean nymph."
