BXBX NOVEL Chapter 301 Pue
While Blake was using his drones to explore the area, Erica suddenly shouted out: "Blake, look!"
One of the drones that had been watching the refugees spotted a child being tossed to the side. The child was crying as they tried to run back to what the group presumed was its parents. They did not know if the child was a boy or a girl. "Are they just going to abandon the kid!?" Erica could not stand such a scene. She did not like people treating children in such a way, especially after becoming a mother herself.
"The tear on the other side is on the side of a cliff. One of my golems should be able to grab the kid and come back." Blake\'s shadow expanded, and an Infinity appeared. He also did not like the idea of some child being tossed aside. While he knew he was taking a risk bringing a child here, he still would prefer that than to see the kid being kicked to the side.
Blake\'s golem jumped through the tear and quickly reached the other side. Its speed was faster than it was before due to Blake infusing his golems with condensed magic. The infinity quickly reached the child, scooped it up into its arms, and ran back towards the tear. It did all of this in under five minutes. When the infinity returned through the tear, the green skinned child in its arms looked around with eyes filled with fear.
Blake walked over and took the child from his golem. The child shook in his arms and stared at Blake anxiously, but he only smiled warmly and said: "Don\'t be afraid. You are safe now."
With a wave of his hand, he created a small hut made of earth and walked inside it. From there, he created a pit for a bath and filled it with warm water. He reached in his space pouch for some soap when he realized that it had all been stolen by the girls. He turned and yelled out the door: "One of you girls, bring me some soap."
Tina walked in with a bar of soap while Blake was struggling to get the kid\'s clothes off. The child was covered head to toe in dirt and soot. "Hmmm?" Blake looked at the child who was standing there shivering and tilted his head. "Tina? Boy or girl?"
"I think both?" Tina answered in confusion as well.
"Well, it doesn\'t matter. Up you go!" Blake picked the child up and dunked the child into the warm water.
"Ahhh! Koo!" The child yelled out, struggling to climb out of the water, but Blake held the child there and, with Tina\'s help, began cleaning the child off from head to toe. By the time they were done, Blake wrapped the child into a towel and dried them off before tina have the child one of her shits to wear. "See, it wasn\'t that bad now, was it?"
The child just stared at Blake, not saying anything. When Tina went to pat the child\'s head, the child moved closer to Blake, avoiding her hand. "Tch! Why do all the kids love you!? Well, whatever. But I do think it\'s a girl. Even if she does seem to have both parts, she looks very feminine."
"Doesn\'t matter. Since we saved her, we will take care of her. I have checked her organs, and they are riched with mana. But the strange thing is that she has no mana pool. I am not sure why this is. When we head back, I will have Lillia check her more thoroughly and maybe see if she knows the child\'s true sex or if she really is a hermaphrodite.." Blake did not care too much, but he did not wish to call the child a she if they were a boy or a he if they were a girl.
The girl looked at Blake with her big round gray eyes. They looked like human eyes but they were mostly gray with no white to them, just different shades of gray. But other than that, she looked very human. Just different skin color and hair.
"We should give her a name, at least. Or maybe we can figure out if she has a name or not." Tina did not want to just keep calling the girl kid or it.
"Hmmm…." Blake thought for a moment before pointing at himself and said: "Blake." He then pointed at Tina and said: "Tina." After that, he pointed at the little girl, who just stared at him while holding his shirt. She looked around five years of age and was still a little scared, but she seemed to realize that Blake meant her no harm. Seeing the girl give no answer, Blake did it a few times more until the little girl finally opened her mouth. "Pue…."
Blake smiled and pointed at the girl, and said: "Pue?" Hearing him call her name, the girl finally smiled and nodded her head.
"Then Pue…." Blake pointed to himself and said: "Blake."
"Blake is it just me, or does your charm have no effect on this kid." Tina knew Blake had to keep his distance from all females if they were not contracted to help block his charm effect. But this child did not seem to be affected at all.
"Maybe because she has both? Who knows. Drakani is still a mystery even to me." Blake chuckled and kept pointing to her and saying Pue and then pointing to him and saying, Blake. Finally, after a few rounds of this, Pue finally said: "Blake…."
"Right!" Blake smiled and patted Pue\'s head. Pue also cracked a smile herself. But when Tina tried to pat her head, she was once again avoided. Blake chuckled and picked the child up. She was wearing one of Tina\'s shirts, although smaller than his own, which was still way too big. He picked her up and walked out of the dirt house to see everyone staring at him with wide eyes. "What?"
It was Erica who answered: "Blake, you missed it, but that whole line of people just now were swallowed up by some huge creature…."
