Chapter 43: Monkey Gang (2/2)

He then answered her question, ”I will give samples to Nana, but I want to get cool videos about my journey too!”

”Hmm~~” Sandra contemplated, ”If you get lucky, then you might get noticed by others. Your style is fun-”

”Our dungeon ride was also fun. I believe we would be able to convey our fun to others through it!” Michu smiled, but nothing covered Sandra's face. She avoided his gaze and became a little too silent.

Looking down on the ground, the witch suddenly became someone else. Michu didn't know what wrong he said, so he just asked, ”Is it no good?”

”It is a good idea, but... I don't think I want to be in your videos,” The witch's eyes never retracted back to Michu.

He stood startled, her words reverberating within, ”My videos? Ah, I am sorry.” Taking the blame for his 'videos', Michu apologized and planned to drop the topic. He looked sad and Sandra couldn't bear to see him like that.

It felt like the whole world suddenly betrayed him and she was the catalyst, ”I meant videos as a whole. I just don't want to appear on videos! That's it...” Sandra explained, but Michu already had a different impression.

People often said he had a stupid smile. They told him he was more stupid than a monkey yet he found those animals to be different! At this very moment, Michu couldn't think otherwise and blamed himself.

Even though Sandra thought otherwise and liked both his smile and genuine heart.

”I understand! No more videos...” Michu nodded and decided to bury this topic deep within his heart. He never expected to see such a Sandra whose excitement could be as loud as his!

Back then, they had run around and fought together against monsters just fine! This cold and distant appearance left a deep impression comparable to the scar on monke's heart...

In silence, Sandra tried to speak about different topics, ”Is it a quest for equipment? I hope so because I can see you are using old and low-leveled robes.”

”Uh, yes... No... This quest is different...” Michu replied belatedly and confusion seemed to grow deeper within his eyes.

He had various thoughts coursing through his mind, a heart bleeding as well. Was it too much? For the monke who lacked social skills, it was too much. He felt like he made a wrong call and he couldn't stop blaming himself for it.

His friend also seemed hurt and what could Michu do or say to fix it?

”Michu... It's just a video. Why do you have to look so sad?” Sandra also tried to fix it.

”Because... You are usually so cheerful and your smile never fades. It's a beautiful part of you that I just somehow broke... I can't forget about it.” Michu replied and looked down.

It took a lot of courage for Sandra to utter her next words, ”Just for us... You can make a video just for us... But no one else...”

”Okay, but it's sad you don't want to share your smile with everyone else.” Even Nana or Venomous wouldn't be able to see it! It wasn't a picture that Venomous and Michu had which had both of them in intimate time.

”Is it bad that I want to keep it just for us?” Sandra inquired.

”No... It's not. But I feel like it would be fine to share between friends and our families. They would be happy, wouldn't they?” Michu smiled, ”They would watch the video and laugh together with us! We all would spend time together...”

”...” A faint barrier broke within the witch's heart, ”Keep this video just for us now... We will see later. Maybe I would edit it personally and I would prepare a surprise for Venomous? There's no need to be hasty,” Sandra spoke. She looked better and even relieved, a faint smile lingering on her face.

As Michu's eyes never betrayed him, he looked at her with a relieved smile too. ”You look much better, Sandra. Do you want to take a ride?” Michu pointed at his back.

The witch didn't refuse and hopped on him. With his hands tightly holding her legs, Sandra leaned down and enjoyed the monke's back that was far from uncomfortable. She peeked at his face and said, ”We are going to Azure Forest, right?”

”Yeah! I heard there are monkeys here.”

”Of course. But have you heard about the monkey gang?”

”Monkey Gang?”

”Haha! Read forum, silly... It's a unique pack of monkeys. They are called mini-boss of this forest and there's a quest to take them down.”
