novelWyba's Stubborness
| ← Ch.117 | Ch.119 → |
"We are siblings. If you can go, I also can."
That was the last reason Wyba gave to Yale, and that was one Yale had difficulties answering to avoid hurting Wyba's feelings.
To Yale, Wyba was his little sister, and to Wyba, Yale was her big brother, but Yale was a human while Wyba was a beast, no one would call them siblings.
"See... I am not in my real form. Thus, I can cheat on them, but as you are in your true form, you will be in danger if you go to the town."
That was the best reply Yale had thought, and it wasn't a lie, it didn't matter if was a human or a beast they couldn't go to a half-beast town without provoking problems.
"If you were able to transform like me, it wouldn't be any problem going to the town with me, but you are still too young to do it."
In fact, the chances of a Mortal Rank beast turning into human form were zero, even if it was a half-beast form the chances remained in zero.
Yale had read that it was possible for some beasts to take such form at higher realms. However, it never happened to weak beasts, so Yale could only sigh as he knew Wyba wouldn't be able to do it.
"Big bro is the strongest, but I am not weak! I want to try!"
Seeing that Wyba was stubborn to try it, Yale nodded as he thought that Wyba needed to try it herself to understand it.
Even with Shape Shift that could be considered a cheat skill, Yale could only make slight modifications in his body, creating a wolf tail, ears or even physical wings was possible, but he couldn't transform into any beast he saw in the forest, the differences between his real body and them were too high.
Shape Shift was powerful but not flawless, the margin of change in the body increased as long the level of the skill increases, but such big changes from a human-based form to a full-beast form were still impossible relying only upon the skill.
Seeing that Wyba was unable to transform after trying few times, Yale smiled.
"Wyba, you are still too young to do it. I am your big brother, and I want the best for you. Until you become able to transform, I can't let you go to the town for your own security."
Wyba was depressed after failing a few times in a row, but she didn't want to give up even if Yale said that she was too young to do it.
She had a lacking of understanding between species; she thought that the tiger-girl from before was a real Fire-wood Tiger transformed into half-beast form. Thus, she felt that being unable to do it when both of them had the same age and realm was shameful.
Seeing that Wyba didn't stop trying, Yale just remained looking at her. He knew that Wyba's efforts were naught, but he would let her try until she was satisfied.
Two hours later they were still in the same positions, Wyba trying to transform and Yale looking at her; Yale had never expected that Wyba was that stubborn.
At that moment, Yale had started to practice his Origin Qi after seeing that Wyba wouldn't give up in a short time.
Some hours later, Wyba's voice awakened Yale, and she rushed towards Yale's arms.
"Big bro!"
Yale felt that Wyba was depressed after failing and then went towards him, but when he was expecting that Wyba, a little wolf cub, fell into his arms, he was dumbfounded.
There wasn't a wolf cub in his arms; there was a little girl with wolf ears.
Yale had been immersed in training, but with the Mapping function, he was sure that no one else neared them since Wyba started to practice her transformation.
"Wyba?"
Yale was really shocked; he was able to feel the life-bound contract from the little girl who was hugging him, she could only be Wyba. However, Wyba's transformation was against all the knowledge Yale had, even the system had said it was impossible.
Of course, the system's deductions were based on the information Yale had in the database; it was possible that the system considered it impossible due to some lack of information.
"Yes, big bro! I am Wyba! I finally did it!"
Yale pat Wyba's head, her hair was still as soft as before, but she only had it on the head and in the tail on her back; Wyba was like Yale and only had the minimum beast traits. At that moment, anyone who saw them would immediately think that they were siblings, it was just the opposite from before.
However, the hair on her head was very long and almost reached the floor, the other little girl also had a very long hair, and Yale guessed Wyba chose that hairstyle due to it.
Wyba's half-beast form was still adorable. Yale was sure that her fan club would turn crazy if they knew.
Yale was happy that Wyba had taken half-beast form as she had wished, but at the same time, he feared that if the fact Wyba was a beast that could transform into a half-beast were exposed, they would face a dangerous situation.
A normal beast couldn't transform into a half-beast form even with Shape Shift, that was common knowledge. Thus, Yale started to think that the reasons should be related to Wyba turning into an Origin Beast or their bloodline synchronization. After all, Wyba was an ordinary beast before forming a contract with Yale.
"Big bro, now can I go to the town with you?"
Of course, Wyba didn't forget the matter about going to the town.
"You can, but there are some things you need to do first."
Wyba moved her tail in happiness as her brother had accepted to let her go to the town with him.
"Big bro is the best!"
Yale liked to see Wyba happy, but he needed to teach her some things before they would meet with anyone or there would be problems.
"Listen Wyba; a half-beast form is different from a beast form. In your current form, you need to wear clothes; you can't go around naked like now."
Shape Shift only affected the body; the clothes weren't included, so Wyba rushed to hug Yale without wearing anything.
Yale didn't mind as Wyba was only a little girl and his little sister, but he couldn't let others saw her even if her long hair covered a lot of her body.
Beasts didn't wear clothes, so it was normal for Wyba feeling normal without them, but half-beasts wore clothes.
Although some half-beasts with bad bloodlines wore almost nothing as the furs in their bodies covered them, they still wear something.
The half-beasts with good bloodlines wore clothes like the humans as their bodies were similar.
"Why I need clothes?"
"Because half-beasts wear clothes. If you want to fake your identity as one of them you need to follow their rules."
Yale didn't think that he was able to explain to Wyba things like why others shouldn't saw her naked in a way she understood, so he used a different reason. Given that Wyba wanted to go to the town she was able to accept the reason quickly.
"I will wear clothes, but I don't have any."
That was another problem, Yale didn't have any clothes for little girls, his company in Trade City also sold clothes for all ages and gender, so if he had known it beforehand, he would have also picked some clothes for Wyba.
Furthermore, Yale's knowledge of female clothing was almost inexistent as he never paid too much attention to it, at that moment he regretted that his sister or one of his female friends weren't with him, any of them would have been able to manage the situation better than him.
Yale's final decision was to use some pieces of cloth to create something similar to a one-piece dress for Wyba, that was the easiest he had thought. If Wyba wore some of his clothes, it would have been too strange in the eyes of the others.
Yale had to make a hole in the back for Wyba's tail or the tail would have lifted the dress every time it moved.
Wyba put the dress on her body without complaining; the dress wasn't beautiful or cute, it quality barely managed to reach the average of half-beasts clothing he had seen before, which was very low compared to human clothing.
However, as that was something made by her big brother, Wyba wore it happily.
"Now, you shall start speaking like a human and not like a wolf. You won't be able to communicate with the people in the town with the wolf language, and it would be too strange if you didn't know how to speak human language."
"But I don't know how to speak human language."
Wolfs were unable to do it due to physical restrictions in their vocal chords, but as Wyba was in a half-beast form she was able to do it, it was just that she didn't know how.
"Don't worry; I will teach you. We will go together to the town after you have learned it."
Yale didn't plan that Wyba was able to speak with fluency, she was still a little girl, even if she didn't speak very well it wouldn't be strange in the eyes of anyone.
