The Adventures of Neu Pen'du

5. Favorite Food

"Is that why all the names given by the ancestral stone all start with the letter 'N'?"

Nonai was further confused by Mr. Pendu's statement.

"I don't understand either, only your Ancestral Stone knows why"

"Oh I almost forgot to remind Namo not to tell me the location of this cave"

Nonai only smiled wryly at Mr. Pendu's words that seemed to be hiding something. But he could not scrape the information, Because Mr. Pendu was a mysterious figure that he should not insist on.

"Sir please forgive my presumption, I am a mother who worries about my son's future, because if his future is not guaranteed I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life"

After saying that Nonai stabilized his breathing and held back his fear and continued his speech.

"I beg you not to bother naming my son, because there is already an Ancestral Stone that can provide real Blessings such as diving and swimming skills for my son's future"

"Or At least can I know what blessings my son has from you?"

While saying that Nonai was so frightened that his entire body trembled, His entire body was drenched in sweat that appeared all of a sudden. Despite his appearance like that he remains desperate to fight for the future of his son even though his death ends though.

"What a brave woman, a mother who loves her child so much can destroy the sky even for her child, this saying is very real, let me explain"

Mr. Pendu also began to explain about the blessings his son would receive from him.

----------

The moment Namo started entering the village there was an ancient voice echoing in his mind.

"Namo I'm Mr. Pendu, keep my secret cave dwellings in all your villagers, because I don't want to be disturbed by many people"

"Good sir"

Namo was really surprised at this incident, he was very confident about the greatness of Mr Pendu. can communicate remotely? Even in his greatest dreams he had never imagined such an ability.

Namo began harvesting silver seaweed which did thrive in the sea area near their village, but due to the large number of harvesting processes Namo was slightly slower.

When Namo finished harvesting time it showed the afternoon and the sky showed a beautiful twilight.

He tied up the silver seaweed and carried it towards the cave.

Arriving inside the cave Namo did not see the strange symbol belonging to Mr. Pendu, and only saw the expression of his wife who was happy while holding their child.

"What's wrong?" Namo was confused by his wife's strange expression. At first his wife was afraid of the existence of Mr. Pendu. That was why he was actually still worried about leaving her alone in the cave, but it seemed that his worries were useless.

"Nothing, quickly hand the silver seaweed over to Mr. Pendu. To make our children great children"

Not only was his expression happy but his tone was like urging Namo to hurry up for his son to get the name of Mr. Pendu.

"The silver seaweed's place on the border symbol there"

Namo simply nodded his head and moved towards the border of the symbol carefully.

Originally the border of the symbol was just empty air and only a passageway was visible to the depths of the cave, but suddenly there was an elaborate circle symbol covering the direction leading into the cave. Right after the complicated symbol appeared baby Namo and Nonai were glowing green in every part of his body.

Nonai who was holding the baby was surprised because suddenly the baby seemed to want to escape from the arms of Nonai.

Nonai can only relax the embrace of his child at this time, suddenly many roots carrying the baby, he said, The root picks up and carries the baby to the symbol of the intricate circle and stops right in front of the symbol.

At first the baby had a bit of dark brown hair, but suddenly his hair turned dark green. His eyelids were currently glaring towards the symbol, originally the baby's eyelids were black but turned into a very beautiful crystal green color.

The baby's hair and eyelid discoloration surprised Namo, the baby's father. Namo had seen the path of the ancestral stone ritual, but the blessing of the ancestral stone never changed the physique.

But he suddenly remembered there was a rumor that a long time ago a baby who after performing the ancestral stone ritual one part of his body would change.

But Namo never saw the incident directly, because it was just a story of the past and did not happen during this era.

Namo was very surprised, but Nonai's wife only showed a happy expression. He seemed to have known that this must have happened.

The process of the ritual lasted for quite a while, until the symbol of the circle covering the cave passage was gone, the roots that were currently holding the baby were pointing back towards Nonai.

After Nonai held her baby again she immediately hugged him. Nonai smiled happily as she looked at her son who was currently sleeping soundly by sucking his tiny thumb.

"What a very high quality silver seaweed"

The Pendu Master muttered

"Sorry sir, did the ritual work?"

Namo could not help his curiosity, if the ritual of naming his son succeeded he wanted to immediately know the name of his son at this time as well.

"Successfully"

"So what's my son's name, sir?"

"Don't hurry, prepare the quality silver seaweed like that for 3 days, after that I will give a name to your child"

Namo only smiled wryly at the words of Mr. Pendu, he had a hunch that Mr. Pendu was just using him for silver seaweed alone.

"Relax, the ritual path of naming your child requires extra energy, I have to expend my blood energy for 3 days, only silver seaweed can stabilize my blood energy. Because it's my favorite food. Haha"

Mr. Pendu's laughter echoed within the cave making Namo and Nonai smile wryly.
