BXBX NOVEL Chapter 189 Papa And Mama
Nathan focused his eyes on the properties part of the item and smiled.
"Bingo!"
[Properties: It can absorb a certain emotion and depending on the emotion that it absorbed, this sculpture can bring about physical changes and some unexpected effects.]
…
Nathan stared at it and said, "This is the most likely reason why this sculpture has become like this."
"Did you say something, Nathan?"
Irish was also focusing on the sculpture at this time that is why she didn\'t hear what Nathan just said.
Instead of answering her question, Nathan said, "Irish, you said that last night, before you sleep, you talked to this sculpture about your day, right?"
Irish nodded, "Uh-huh,"
"Was that the first time you did that, if not, when did you start doing so?"
While seemingly thinking, Irish said, "Hmm… Well, I basically started it the night of my birthday."
"I was quite emotional that time because of what happened at the ruins but since I don\'t want to speak to anyone about it, I poured my hearts out to this gift of yours."
Saying that, a gentle look appeared on her eyes as she watches the sculpture rub itself onto her hands.
With her other hand, Irish started caressing the head of the sculpture gently.
Although it was small, you can actually see the reaction of the sculpture to this gesture of Irish.
It closed its eyes and seemed to be enjoying the caresses from Irish.
Nathan stared at Irish and watched her movements.
Her gentle and caring appearance was a great attraction to Nathan at this moment.
But suddenly, Nathan noticed that something was happening to the sculpture in Irish hands.
The yellow color on the glass-like body of the sculpture seems like it\'s getting brighter.
The [Irish\'s Sculpture] has a property to absorb emotions and use it to produce physical changes or even some unexpected effects.
When Nathan first gave the sculpture to Irish, the body of it had already turned into something like glass while its color had also turned yellow.
Based on Nathan\'s inference from his short observation, the color on the body of the sculpture is based on the emotion that it has absorbed.
That is because, besides the previous yellow color that the [Irish\'s Sculpture] have, 2 different colors have been added although it\'s almost unnoticeable if one did not look carefully.
It was red and black.
As of now, Nathan can\'t tell exactly what those 2 emotions are, but he has some guesses.
However, for the most dominant color that the [Irish\'s Sculpture] has, which is yellow, Nathan doesn\'t even have to guess.
Just by watching Irish\'s movements and the reaction from the [Irish\'s Sculpture], it was obvious that it was the \'happy\' emotions it had absorbed.
Noticing Nathan staring at her, Irish\'s looked at him with a shy smile, "Don\'t stare at me too much."
Nathan smiled in response, "I can\'t help it, you\'re just too pretty."
Irish\'s cheeks turned red from hearing Nathan\'s compliment.
She looked at Nathan and he also looked her in the eyes.
The atmosphere inside the room suddenly becomes ambiguous.
With a man and a woman who both have positive feelings for each other, it was inevitable for this to happen.
However, at this moment, a childish voice suddenly sounded inside their mind.
(Mama! Papa!)
The two turned their heads at the owner of the voice at the same time.
It was of course, the sculpture that at some point we\'re already touching the both of them with each of its hands.
At this time, the voice sounded again in their heads for the second time.
(Mama! Papa!)
It was then that the two of them realized that the sculpture was actually calling them mama and papa.
Nathan was taken aback while Irish look flustered at being called mama.
She looked up to see Nathan\'s reaction towards being called papa along with her.
But when she saw the bewildered look on Nathan\'s face, Irish felt disappointed for some reason.
However, Nathan did not realize the problem with Irish and was still looking at the sculpture.
After recovering from his bewilderment, Nathan moved his head closer to the sculpture to look at it more clearly.
While observing it, Nathan curiously muttered, "Hmm, since it\'s able to send messages to other people\'s brains, I wonder if I can talk to it."
Trying to get close to it, Nathan looked it in the eye and said, "Hello."
The sculpture looked at Nathan and with a cheerful voice, it said, (Hello, papa!)
Nathan\'s eyes immediately lit up the moment he heard the sculpture respond to him.
It was like he found something that is very very delicious and can\'t wait to take a bite at it!
Shaking his head, Nathan calmed down.
Then, Nathan did some simple conversation with the sculpture after that.
He asked questions such as how are you, isn\'t the weather great, what do you like to do, and a lot more other questions.
A few minutes later, Nathan nodded in satisfaction after the sculpture answered his question again.
Although so far, Nathan has only been asking simple trivial things, the sculpture has replied to all of that.
But based on its answer, Nathan has concluded that the sculpture actually has the mentality of a kid around 3 to 5 years of age.
"I guess I can stop my observation now." Nathan muttered,
Irish\'s, who\'ve been watching everything all this time, heard Nathan\'s words.
She turned to Nathan and said, "Since you\'re done, can I also ask a question?"
Nathan turned his gaze at Irish and said, "Oh, ah, yeah, sure, ask it any question."
After Irish thanked him, she turned her eyes to the sculpture and looked at it gently.
"Hello."
(Hello, Mama!) The sculpture let out a soft giggle while greeting her.
Irish can\'t help but feel her heart melt at it specially when it was calling her Mama with such a cute voice.
With a soft voice, she said, "Can I ask you something?"
(What is it, Mama?)
The sculpture tilted its head to the side and cutely asked.
"Well, why do you keep calling me mama?"
