"Pomm~! Pomm~!"
A strange sound came from the other side of the river.
Hulim looked up and saw two large, light blue, transparent balls bouncing towards the river on the other side of the river, followed by four smaller, transparent balls that were also bouncing.
"Sly—no, that's not right, it's Popom!"
Hulim's eyes lit up. She didn't expect to see a wild Popom.
Although she had heard that wild Popoms were not uncommon in many places, unfortunately there were no Popoms living near Ment Town, so this was her first time seeing one in person.
"Hulim, what did you say? Oh, isn't that Popom—!"
Alec heard Hulim's voice and turned around, and immediately saw something on the other side of the river.
He quickly walked over to Hulim and looked across at him carefully.
"Yes, that's right! The two white eyes on the ball, the male and female, the four cubs, and the habit of living near the water! It's definitely the rare Popom family!"
"What, the Popoms? Where are they? Let me see~!"
Anjie, who was checking her bow and arrow, heard Alec's shouting and immediately became interested and walked to the river.
"Wow~! Those four little Popoms are so cute, I really want to go over and pet them~!"
"Hey, hey, don't do that! Don't be fooled by Popom's cute appearance. He's very powerful!"
Alec spoke up warningly.
"Oh, I know, I was just saying that, but it's really cute~!"
As Alec said, creatures like Popom are not something that can be bullied casually. They are actually quite flexible in their movements. When encountering an enemy, they can shrink their bodies, making them tough, and then launch themselves towards the enemy at high speed. If an adult is directly hit by such a hit, their sternum will be shattered.
In addition to using his body to hit others, an adult Popom can also spray high-pressure water bombs from his body, which are powerful enough to shatter wooden boards.
Of course, there is one more point, at least this one is very important to Hulim.
They are delicious...
“Delicious... ingredients.”
Hulim looked at the Popom family across from him, and felt like making a move.
“Pohm—!?”
An adult Popom seemed to suddenly sense the danger and quickly used its body to protect the other members.
"Pohm!"
"Pohm!"
"Pohm!"
“… …”
The four little guys were unaware of the danger and kept bumping into the adult Popom who was blocking their way, wanting to swim faster.
“Pohm——!!!”
Then I was scolded.
The little Popoms suddenly became listless and stopped jumping and shouting.
"Pohm, Pohm!"
Then, led by the adult Popom, the whole family jumped back to the jungle opposite.
"Ah... gone!"
Anjie looked disappointed.
Alec scratched his head. "Huh? That's weird? Did my voice scare them?"
Hulim also looked disappointed.
Delicious ingredients, gone...
“Ding-ling-ling~!”
Just at this moment, the departure bell rang.
Hulim could only look at the other side of the river with regret and gave up the idea of collecting food.
