15 Oath Contrac (2/2)
Putting the contract away, I took off my gloves and put down my hood. Turning towards Lyssia, I put on an innocent and cheerful smile.
”I look forward to working with you, Miss Lyssia! I will message you if anything is needed, for now, just send me a detailed paper on your connections, friends, contacts, and shady facts you have.”
”O-oh.”
”Oh yeah, here's all the loot. Make sure no one finds out so just follow the plan as if I was beaten up yes? This way Tania should be fooled and Asterios won't be suspicious. Alright, I think that's all then. So long!”
Having my say of words, I promptly used a return scroll and teleported back home, giving her one last happy smile before disappearing into white.
Finally getting back home, my shoulders relaxed and I slumped onto my fluffy couch.
”Ahhhhhh….that was more tiring than I expected. I was so absorbed in the flashy exit that I forgot about my mission. Well what can you do about it, I'll simply go back to town tomorrow.” I complained to myself while stretching lazily.
Suddenly I remember the rewards I had been given from Master Abest, I giddily opened up my status board and check the title.
[Aid

Ohhhh, not bad at all. There's also this new level seven dagger that he handed me.

Ack. It's the worst when there is something overpowered and I can't use it! But this is my first even special item, this is a pretty nice occasion!
Hmmm, it's almost time that Kai and dad get home from work, I guess I'll log off and welcome them home.
After logging off, I headed straight for my room and took a quick shower. Looking at all the bruises over my body, I once again decided to wear a jacket and long pants.
Sigh, I wish a had wider freedom for choice of clothing. But it can't be helped.
Hearing the door opening, I walked into the living room where my older brother and father were currently settling down.
”Welcome home! How was it today?” I cheerfully asked while drying my damp hair.
”Ah Yuri, we're home.” My dad said while slumping on a couch. ”Today didn't go so well, nobody could agree on a new event in the game…”
”Yeah, I wasn't there cause I'm a player, but it must have been tough.” Kai agreed while hooking up his coat. ”I was sent to the production building instead, it was crazy as well.”
Both of them sat on the couch and deeply sighed.
”Is there any way I could help?” I asked with a concerned tone, I didn't wish for my family to suffer.
”No no, you can just enjoy playing the game! Leave this to us, in fact, Mr. Franco is moving to Japan to help out. His son is actually going to transfer to Tanaka High as well! Make sure that no one bullies him okay Yuri?” Dad said while tiredly chuckling in at his own humor.
Ehehe...that's ironic. I'll make sure he doesn't get bullied, I suppose it's fine as long as he stays away from me.
I know it's been ten years already, but if I remember correctly….
Oh crap, Mr. Franco's son....doesn't that mean HE'S coming to my school!?
Gah...how troublesome. I don't think I ever got along well with him back in America, due to some certain circumstances he had.
Let's hope he's forgotten about me, yeah, I'll just forget about him for now.
Helping Kai out with his things, I went to the kitchen and readied dinner. Since I'm the only female in the household, I guess it was natural I would prepare the food. I felt guilty for only preparing little snacks ever since Sapphire came out, so this time I decided to prepare a full course meal.
…
…
…
I got too carried away.
We could probably finish half today and have enough to pack into lunches and maybe even dinner.
Yosh, I'll cross that bridge once I get to it, for now, I'll just eat to my heart's content!
Thank you for the meal!
