Chapter 20: He always smiles like that (2/2)

In this guide, a small firefly that shone with orange color wasn't even mentioned. ”So, cheer up.” He was already back, but Yumi's voice brought indescribable effects. For her, it was hard to just casually cheer up others, but she somehow did it smoothly for Michu.

For the monkey, it would be best to ask for help to describe him, ”He smiles so stupidly. I guess your words meant a lot to him,” Sandra poked Venomous with her staff, her smile teasing.

A white-haired player averted her gaze, ”He always smiles like that.”

Sandra snickered, then followed Venomous' gaze. Darkness, the ground, and silence had been asserting their presence here.

No sound of any moles, wooden monsters, or even players could be seen here.

Why was the dungeon paling in comparison to its rumors? ”You all sure went all-out… I can't believe I was the first one to get depleted of mana…” Sandra spoke incredulously, her fingers fiddling with the leftovers of mana potion within the tube.

The witch wasn't the only one to drink the potions. All other players gladly gulped down colorful liquids that separately tasted different but mixed in one, the players felt the taste of an energy drink.

Venomous exhaled with content, then spoke to the tank, ”It's on my cost.” She passed him a health potion.

Once this potion fell into his hands, the tank quietly thanked, ”Thanks.” He looked at its stats and found it to be one of the lesser and weaker potions, but it was just fine for the remaining lost HP.

He gulped it down, then relished on its taste, the same taste he had been close with for his time in the new world.

Sandra and Lazy Bum looked into each other's eyes after seeing this show of compromise. What Venomous said after passing the potion was 'You are lent to us by someone else, so I have to take care of you.'

But there was one big flaw in her words. If that would be the case, then why didn't she help Michu drink the potion first? She also didn't seem to even care about his HP/MP stats!

Sandra sighed, then approached Michu with a potion in her hand, ”Michu, say 'Aaaaaa'.” A blonde witch took care of the player whose HP's loss hadn't been that high.

Michu also felt a little weird, but he found no reason to not follow her. As friends were as rare as diamonds for him, Michu's interactions with the opposite race were even more and he lacked in many areas here.

However, Michu also couldn't say that he didn't enjoy being taken care of by someone else.

Michu honestly thanked, ”Thanks. I will do the same in case you need help!”

”Um… I will accept your offer in case I need any help…” Sandra faintly answered, her cheeks boiling a little too much. Her new friend was rather too honest and didn't coat his emotions.

People around him didn't matter. As long as he could convey his words clearly, Michu would say what lied on his mind.

Sandra felt like it was both a good and bad trait, but if a blush crept onto her face and she couldn't find any words to his, then it leaned more towards good, right?

It was rare to see such an honest individual and albeit it was a short time, Sandra had been swayed too much by him already!

Suddenly, Lazy Bum attacked! ”Michu! My great friend!”

Sandra yelped when he suddenly raised his voice! ”Eh?!”

”What's wrong?” A monkey asked, his eyes big.

Lazy Bum continued as quickly as possible before the witch's staff would fall on him, ”You promised to help her, but isn't your promise meaningless if she is not close by?”

”True! Sandra, we want to quickly level up to 25 after this dungeon! Want to go with us?” Michu asked brightly, but Sandra quieted down… She glanced at her friend, then Michu, and at Lazy Bum for the last time.

For a while, it seemed like a side Sandra tried to hide emerged out from. She looked quiet, a little gloomy, but then she regained her former excitement, ”I will join you! How can I even think about it if you ask me in such a way? I should've accepted your invitation straightaway.”

”I asked normally, though!” Michu laughed, ”Hehe, your water skills are cool! I am sure we will enjoy our time. Oh! You might even help with the banana farm! Right, Venomous?” Michu turned around to his first friend, but she strangely had been kicking the tank away from them.

Her lips were nonstop parted, ”I saw a monster here! Check this and prepare a taunt!” She nonstop ordered the tank to do something and she was louder than usual.

It was a measure to make this tank not listen to their talk. She also couldn't stop Michu purely from his ecstatic face… And who was she to control his friend list? All she could do was to protect that secret that she and Nana wanted to keep hidden at least for the early levels.

”Haha! I think we have to move! Let's go, Sandra!” Michu raised his joined hands, but the blonde witch chuckled at him.

She rolled her eyes, ”We are staying behind, Michu. Did you forget about your hands already? Stupid.”

”Eh…”
