Chapter 150: Yumis search (1/2)

While Michu learned new abilities, met the incubus prince, and prepared for another adventure to learn magic, his girlfriend researched the Blood Poison. She also went around the closest cities to Hider's Dungeon.

In one of those cities, Yumi entered the restaurant.

”Water, please.” She smiled at the waitress and took a table for herself.

The waitress nodded and turned around.

But even blind would be able to sense that this waitress was exhausted. Her voice was dry and she sighed a lot. Below her eyes, dark circles spread and her skin was likewise too pale to be healthy.

Yumi saw past herself within that waitress.

She was exhausted from work or probably the situation in the city.

Yumi bet on the latter and she was eager to learn more.

”Here's water...” The waitress put down the water slowly.

”Thanks. How about you rest with me?” Yumi's voice drew the waitress.

She sounded worried and the waitress' heart swelled with gratitude.

After the waitress took the seat, Yumi passed some more money to her as a tip, then asked, ”It doesn't look like the restaurant is flooded with clients. What's happening?”

One often would love to unburden oneself with strangers.

That was what the waitress thought and so she poured out all her worries to Yumi, ”Fees and taxes are getting higher... It's like our lord wants to starve us to death... I have been saving up a lot of food recently, so my health got worse.”

Yumi's slit eyes shone, ”Has something happened to your lord? Did he lose his family or maybe land?”

”I heard that villagers from one of his villages had contracted a severe illness... Other than that, there weren't any rumors from merchants. But even if that village has their problems, it's too much for the lord to sacrifice us!” The waitress wailed.

But that was the clue Yumi had been looking for.

She emptied the cup of water and took out a lot of bananas from her inventory! Those bananas stupefied the waitress, but Yumi guaranteed, ”The best bananas you will ever eat.” A few coins also rolled on the table!

All of this was snatched by the waitress who bowed to the client! ”Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”

Once outside, Yumi looked around the city.

It was definitely in a worse state, but people had been doing their best to look cheerful and sell their goods to all coming and leaving players!

Yumi didn't have anything else to do here, ”Let's check the village and meet the lord.”

There were many provinces around the royal castles and their territories.

In the province that had Hider's Dungeon, Lord Makro was the royalty. He was a tall and well-built man whose level reached a big one hundred!

He and his royal house had become accustomed well to the new era with players.

Alas, his enemy wasn't the player! It was a madman from the same world!
