Chapter 16: Cringe (1/2)

[A few days later after Michu got his territory!]

Looking at the photo of her brother and soldiers around him, Nana smiled and whispered, ”Big brother looks like he has a lot of fun. I am glad.” As per fate's decision, Michu's family was left alone with each other.

Not liked by many, Michu had more contact with older people that had been supporting their family as much as they could rather than his peers.

Even though it was a game and NPCs, Nana was all smiles when she saw her brother around so many people.

All smiles, those soldiers enjoyed banana together with him! ”Of course he would send me such a photo!” Nana chuckled, then her eyes narrowed, a faint vicious glimmer flashed in those!

”Venomous!” She could see the white-haired woman and her eyes felt indeed eerie. It wasn't the first time Nana saw her as this photo had been something she frequently looked over. Before such a woman, her looks didn't matter as her presence alarmed all instincts!

Nana's heart was still filled with rage as she heard what this woman did to her brother.

She used the trust Nana had built within Michu! It went without saying that Nana's help was a great help in Michu's life and he would even listen to her rather than his mother.

But since mother was too often at work, it was just obvious that someone had to be the lady of the house!

However, Venomous unknowingly found this flaw and used it.

The results were good, though. The photo on the screen was the proof of it, but Nana still had her heart pounding with rage.

Thus, she typed on the keyboard, ”I hope you haven't eaten the wrong banana!”

Enter!

-

[You have gotten a new message.]

”Again this lass,” Venomous shook her head after her eyes spotted Nana's name. She knew what would be in the message as it became Nana's daily routine to vent her anger on Venomous.

At this point, 'the wrong banana' lost its meaning. The kick on the soldier's chin also left a deep scar in other soldiers' hearts, so no one used this term again.

Returning from the beginner city, Venomous entered Michu's territory and headed toward the small hut in the middle of it.

On her minimap, she could see Michu and a few NPCs around him.

This gathering could only mean one thing, ”All of them are eating bananas again…” These words became the reality as soon as Venomous arrived.

Squatted like Slavs, the soldiers and Michu in the middle were eating the bananas after their hard work.

Of course, the hard work was mostly split into three categories.

[The territory's protection - Kill the surrounding monsters!]

[The woodman's job - gather wood for the small hut!]

[The builder's job - build the hut!]

”Welcome back, Yumi!” Michu shouted while waving the banana! Then, with the perfect accuracy, he hurled it up toward Venomous whose eye had been twitching from this close and a rather affectionate call.

”I am back.” She extended her hand, grasped the banana, then ate it while doing her utmost best to stop her eye from going out of control.

After throwing the skin into her inventory, Yumi exclaimed, ”This hut looks stable… Is it not going to self-destruct anytime soon?” She kicked the hut lightly, then looked at the soldier named Carlos.

In the past, he had a different job than a soldier, but the war arrived and changed his fate. He no longer could return, but gladly used his skills for survival! Now, those belong to Michu who enjoyed the small hut during his rest!

”I haven't forgotten anything and I am confident in its structure! Fear not, Missy!” Carlos flashed his white teeth and he sounded convincing, so Venomous just entered the hut after nodding to him.

Other soldiers' eyes flashed with a mischievous glint, ”Michu, we will leave you alone!” They bumped their elbows into monkey god, then urged him to follow the lady. Soon enough, the soldiers picked up the scattered banana's skins and went to look out for any potential threats.

Venomous' orders were simple, ”Don't let any player know that we own this territory. If you see an NPC or monster, then neutralize. The former with words, the latter with weapons.”

The common quest given by Lord Fabian was to take care of the monsters around Mountain Cliff City.

Because of players' descent into this world, the world changed and many challenges had risen from the roots. The first challenge was to get rid of respawn curse, but how could it even be possible?

Many players found it cute how NPCs wanted to get rid of that curse and bring freedom to their lands, but it was an inherent part of any game!

”Did you get new skills?” Michu smiled broadly after entering the hut. He then asked about skills that Venomous should've already received.

[Venomous: Lv. 15]

[Michu: Lv. 13]
