Exploring the Dimension After Reincarnation: Academic

Old Contacts

“Hehehe, you are still as cold as ever, yes. Can't you be more friendly to this newcomer who is your old friend?” szec said by trying to look friendly in front of this individual.

“I do have an introverted attitude and prefer to be alone. What's wrong with that?” Shoggoth folded his hands before continuing, “Isn't this also your fault for coming to my cave without getting an invitation here? Are you actually the type of person who tries to get close to others despite having been expelled so many times?”

"That's it. I do apologize to you for entering this place without your permission and without an invitation. But on the other hand, I do have something important to ask you. If you don't mind, can you help me as your old friend? We've had a pretty good relationship in the past, haven't we?” szes asked Shoggoth's opinion.

Szec himself was unsure whether the creature before him - Shoggoth - would help him in this world recall if the two had different perceptions of the relationship they had. On the Szeic side, he still thinks that he and Shoggoth have a good relationship, but the introverted Shoggoth might think of this as something different, making Szec dare not if he had to directly say the help he needed.

Shoggoth still did not say and stared with sharp eyes at Szec. This can be seen from his eyebrows that seem very down-close to his eyes - with a feeling that feels full of suspicion, as if he has one or several things that make him unhappy with Szes.

He was still searching loudly, what made him feel uncomfortable, until he finally uttered, “Can you take off that mask? I find it strange not being able to see your face directly. In addition, I think your style of dress also looks tacky which makes me more and more tasteful looking at you. It feels like em ... like someone who is trying to cosplay into a mysterious anime character, but instead failed and made me want to hit him many times.”

“Huh, not polite!” Szec pouted annoyed. “Look, I'm still a woman, you know. When anyone says that to me, of course I will feel annoyed and cannot take it for granted!”

“Quick do or I will drive you out of this sea cave! From the beginning, weren't you the one who messed up by coming to my cave uninvited? Did you see how I got angry and destroyed the surroundings of this place? Why do you think there are not many sea creatures living around here and there are many corals destroyed, ha!” Shoggoth threatened Szic with a dark red aura around his body.

This red aura was indeed just an illusion or mirage. But for some people who are exposed to this anger, it is enough to make them afraid and sweat cold. Similarly, Szec, who was sweating from his back, also swallowed his saliva. He was quite aware that this was something wrong using a joke in front of this creature, but he did not like it when he had a strange dressing sense.

“Force Servant, O sea-ruling creature who has been nolep for hundreds of years. Servant really knows with the fault of Servant.” Szec changed his tone, although this sounded a little strange.

“Ggrrr Shoggoth began to make growling noises as he stared intensely at Szec with his folded arms, the muscle tendons on his face raised, and his pouting lips severely irritated.

“Fumu, it looks better than before. Your clothes are still tacky wearing that robe, but at least it's getting better.” Shoggoth simply nodded while the aura of fury around his body disappeared.

The face of Szec does not look too extraordinary. It just looks like it's at about 20 years old. When he lowered the hood of his robe, more blue hair appeared to lead to purple which decomposed all the way to his shoulder. She has golden-brown pupils that look very clear and bright, with the same colored irises that look more golden than her pupils. Furthermore, he had a black spot under his left eye.

Right now he is showing his gentle and friendly smile to Shoggoth, which perhaps will help him in getting along and supporting his social environment. If only he had not brainwashed the spirits to serve as an organizational force, he could have been someone the spirits would love and live quietly with.

“Good if you are happy. I thought, I should also change my dress style because it still looks not much different from before. Right now, I am indeed not carrying a change of clothes and only have clothes that are under my cloak. It doesn't matter if you ask me to take off my robe, but it will make it difficult for me to bring it,” explained Szees.

“Are you really just carrying really just carrying that thing? I mean, don't you bring some money in this world? That's a pretty desperate act? Money can not buy everything, but many things ranging from buying food, house, property, pay taxes, rent kos-kosan, ride the ojek online, etc require money.” Shoggoth stroked his chin suspiciously.

“Hmph! Who do you think I am? I have the ability of specialists to be close to animals and expert enough to hypnotize them. In this world, where Penther is a partner, I will not lose as long as I manage to brainwash the powerful Penther and make him my partner,” Szes said sarcastically.

“Not really.” Shoggoth shook his head and continued, “There is a Penther protection law where brainwashing and cruel things directed at Penther are illegal. If you forcibly brainwash a penther, make her your partner, and you get caught, you will instantly be considered a criminal and there is nothing you can do about it. The type that uses pets to fight like you, is very bad in a direct fight, it is better if you avoid this way,” Shoggoth advises.

“Ugh, true also yes. I can't do that to brainwash every penny I meet. In fact, this is something that is very effective and efficient to get a strong partner.” Sze's face turned flat after that.

“What's your goal of catching a penther just to get a strong companion? You better stop if it's like that. And more importantly, can you tell me about what you need from me?” Shoggoth.
