Tree leaves taste sweet...

(well, it's time to go back) I said as I started to swim again to the depths of the small lake although I am curious how it is so close to this girl's house, but I am also curious of the same girl since apparently, he addressed the old man with a lot of respect but it was not like the typical respect you have for an old man, but an extremely formal and forced respect but I did not understand the reasoning behind that respect but I left that thought quickly since was not of great interest to me at the moment

Leaving that aside I also realized 3 more things, the first thing is that this body needs to eat a lot, and when I mean a lot it is that I need to eat every 5-6 minutes but luckily there are many leaves on the tree that fall into the lake giving me something to eat which led me to my second discovery, the leaves of the tree taste like mint sweets...

But my third discovery is quite troubling as I feel a flow of water near a hole at the bottom of the pond but when I got closer my body started to shake a little so I left it for later as I feel like there is something wrong with that hole whether it be a predator or some kind of eel so I may well call it my death so my urge to become strong only increased but it was also not all for nothing as my swimming level rose to Lvl. 2 after 30 minutes of swimming

(I hope this works) I said taking the XP sphere out of my storage but I got a little surprise since it seemed that the pearl had become smaller since now it was only 2 times bigger than me, but I quickly discarded it that all kinds of mysterious things happen around me plus I remembered describing one of my abilities so I overlooked it and positioned myself with my mouth in front of the white sphere and opened my mouth to try to bite it and to my surprise, I felt that my mouth was nailed to the sphere

* Crack * * Crack *

With every time I moved my mouth the sphere started to split quickly as if it was being put under great pressure but it cut cleanly and without breaking, I didn't care about biting the XP sphere since its shape use was to place it in a place that is in contact with me and it only works for 1 day so it was better than I eat it and see what happened since I did not have a place to put it on and especially because it is 2 times bigger than me so it's even harder for me to bring her around me all the time

(Mmm !, this tastes like dulce de leche!) I said surprised as I slowly moved the piece of the sphere that I had in my mouth with my tongue treating it like a piece of dulce de leche but I knew it wasn't like that but I didn't want to give up since I came to this world as a fish I gave up on the food I had had as a human although the leaves of the tree tasted like peppermint I only thought that the tree was special but nothing else but I didn't expect to eat a piece of what looked like a pearl tasted so good but when I came out of my stupor I realized that the piece of the XP sphere in my mouth was reduced in size just like a dulce de leche

So I started to break the sphere slowly enjoying the taste of each piece but when I finished half I realized that the sphere was already smaller than me, so I realized that the more I eat, the faster my body will grow. it leads me to get stronger faster but I still got a little depressed since I didn't know until when I would try a dulce de leche again so with a little regret in my heart I put the last piece of the XP sphere in my mouth

(THAT'S GREAT !, Now I only need prey to hunt… Wow, what is that ?!) I said with joy as I savored the last piece of the "pearl" in my mouth but suddenly a pair of gigantic feet appeared not far from my what pushed me a little or at least should have pushed me a little bit but since I was distracted I was moved for what seemed like a few meters but they were centimeters but I quickly stabilized and moved in the direction of the feet, it wasn't because I wasn't afraid of giant feet but because I realized that the creature that lived in the hole suddenly started to move which scared me since even though I'm supposed to have aluminum flakes I don't want to test them yet

(How the hell did he get hurt so much ?!) But when I got close to the person's feet I realized that what had attracted that thing from his cave was this person's feet and legs that were full of cuts to the point that almost 30% of the surface of the feet and calves were scabs from which a little blood flowed

But before I could stop to think about who I was and how I could have my feet so hurt, I realized that the creature that was in the cave started to come out with a strange sound that spread with every step I took but I started to move quickly so that the creature did not realize that it was here since it could well be my first prey since although I am not very strong I am 100% sure that my bite is the strongest in the entire universe or at least one of the strongest

So I waited for that thing to come out but I still gave myself the task of swimming up at full speed to see the person who was here since although I could not see everything clearly before I was 100% sure that this house It was owned by the girl and had a bamboo wall that surrounded the entire place including the small lake, so following that logic no one should enter this place and did not believe that the girl who seemed cheerful a few moments ago suddenly appeared with her legs so hurt
