70 Armored Guardian (1/2)
-Aries Home-
Why did she decide to ask that now...
”Oh, it is Shytus. For some reason, one of the players has almost the same name as mine. That guy whit creepy magic spells.” I am seriously bad at lying on the spot.
”Oh right. I thought at first he was you. I guess I'm wrong. Anyway, we will go back to the game after we eat because we need to do something first. See you later Bro!” Thank God, it worked somehow.
”Sure, good luck with your match later.”
Ugh... thanks to Two Teeth with his funny way of talking, she somehow bought my lie.
After I cleaned and did what I need to do, I decided to go back to the game.
-Order of Light City-
”Hey Scy. Why do you always log in so late?” Elou asked.
”I told you before I'm doing the entire housework in our home. How about you guys? It looks like you guys don't do anything besides go online.”
”Aheem, not to brag but we have some housemaids in our house. Let's just say, our parents are really working really hard.” Akko... that's not something you brag about.
”That's convenient. It's ok then. We still have the whole day to prepare. So what's the plan?” I asked them. It seems they are rich people, yet they tried to win against me for free food.
”We can now visit the Tavern here in Order of Light city. Most of the people around here already logged out to go to work or other things they need to tend to. How about we visit it?” Akko suggested. It's still crowded but not like night time.
”Sure, let's go.”
-Light's Tavern-
”Hello there Scy, it's been while. I watched your fights and you guys were awesome!” The Tavernkeeper welcomed us.
”Thanks. We came here last night but it was filled with people so we left the tavern. Your business looks great huh.” The event increased his profits really well.
”Yeah, how about some drink? It's on me.” He gave us good juice to drink, worth the visit!
”Wow, thanks a lot! We are getting a lot of free stuff lately. Haha.” Elou laughed.
”Haha. By the way, you guys should be careful about your match later. You might fight one of the Gods later. I haven't heard any update about them but one of the talks around here last night is that some of the Gods also have second monster's transformation which is new to me too.” He whispered to us. Good info, this will be tough for us.
The rumor wasn't exactly true but there's still a huge chance that it's true. I thought I'm the only one who can do that right now after a week of life and death training.
”Really? That sucks. I hope it's just a rumor. I don't want to die in the tournament and lose some level so if I'm in the pinch, I'd rather surrender. I guess.” Akko's worried and every level is sweat and blood for us. We suffered too much and trained like hell to reach what we are now. Losing it would be heartbreak for us.
”It was just a rumor so don't worry that much. Just be careful.” I said. It's hard to fight well if we are worrying about that but it's still a good thing that we can expect the worst. It's always good to save something behind our sleeves.
We finished drinking but for I wonder why we didn't get a buff like from Emily's food. After chatting with the Tavernkeeper, we decided to move out. Our next destination is back to the simple village for the buffs. It's kind of time-consuming traveling back and forth but the buffs are worth it. We can also rest there without too much noise outside. Simple Village is the place for solitude.
