Peculiar item creation (Part 2)

"You better keep your hands away from him!"

Hearing my words, Eve instantly shielded Pengu with her own body, as if I was some kind of pervert trying to offer a candy to an underage girl. 

How rude! It's not like I would force him to do it! If this small friend of mine were to refuse, I would just use some of the skins of the monsters that we dissected all the way back in the training grounds! I just wanted to make my creation as great as possible!

"Screech!'

While Eve was hiding it behind her own body, Pengu only patted her side with its fin, before escaping her embrace and approaching my leg. Nodding its beak slightly, it closed its eyes as if in wait to have its heart carved out!

"Ah, I'm not going to hurt you in any way! You don't need to act in such a way!"

Involuntarily patting its head, I was going to cut the tip of its fur, only to realise that its entire body was covered in strange scales!
