I just bought DEEMO yesterday, since I enjoyed Cytus II, and the music is heavenly. My favorite was Reflection, Yubikiri Genman, and anything V.K composes. I just started but I'm waiting for DEEMO II π Also, if you play DEEMO, is buying the Hourglass pack worth it? Or is there enough content in the base game?
Anyways, enjoy the chapter I owe you.
βββββββ-
After that, with the help of Gil-san and the others, I managed to finish eating the Hakyu Rolls.
"Uuu... it hurts"
"I feel the same way..."
That's unusual. It's rare to hear Gil-san say something like that, since he usually eat so much that it's like he has a mini black hole in his stomach.
"Let's sleep now"
"Okay..."
I went to our room with Lina-san and Fina-san. There, I called Prenna out while putting clean on my body.
γγ I thought you forgot again! γ
She's so mad.
"I'm sorry, I had an important discussion."
γγ... you didn't forget?γ
"Of course not!"
When I assured her of that, she finally improved her mood. Haa...
"Fufu, that's tough."
Lina-san, who was watching us, murmured. Fina-san was already asleep. She goes to bed early, but wakes up late.
"What are we going to do tomorrow?"
"First, we'll go to the guild since I need to talk to Karina-san"
If you ask me whether I want to raise my rank or not, it'd be the the latter. One, it makes me stand out and two, I don't want the guild to force me to do anything.
However, it's nice to be able to get a lot of money, so I want to discuss further.
"With Karina, huh..."
Speaking of which, does Lina-san and the others know that Karina-san is the sub guildmaster? Gil-san was quite surprised, so... un. I probably shouldn't ask. I think there's a reason why Karina-san is working at the reception and hiding the fact that she's a sub guildmaster. So, I shouldn't rashly talk about it.
"Good night."
"Ee, good night."
γγGood night, Masterγ
I fell asleep with Prenna in my arms. Ah, I have to buy pajamas tomorrow.
ββββββββ
The next day, when I woke up, Prenna was already at my bedside.
γγγAh! Good morning, Masterγ
"Good morning... and why are you there?"
γγUh! Umm... ......γ
As soon as I said that, Prenna's eyes swam. Why?
"You don't want to tell me?"
γγ...un.γ
I was puzzled, but nodded. Well, I'm not going to force her to tell me something she doesn't want to say.
γγ(Because, Master, you have a bad sleeping posture...)γ
The words Prenna said in her heart didn't reach me.
"Fuwaa... morning"
"Good morning"
Lina-san had woken up, but Fina-san was still asleep.
"Can you wake her up?"
"Sure."
I called her name and shook her body, but she didn't show signs up getting up.\n... I felt like playing a little prank, so I made ice with magic and put it on her back...
"Hiyaa!"
Wow. Very effective.
"What the! This!
She doesn't look like her usual self. Is she panicking?
"Hahahaha! Marina-chan, you're so funny...!"
Lina-san is laughing hysterically in the background. So you were watching.
"Eh, Marina?"
She looks at me in surprise.\nI smiled and just said, "Good morning."
"Ah, eh... good morning?"
Why is that a question?
"Pfft. Let's go eat now."
"Okay"
"Eh... u- un"
While Fina-san started to change her clothes, Lina-san was telling her about what I did.\nWhen she said that I put ice on her back, Fina's eyes turned into dots, which was a bit amusing.
"Marina... that, will you stop?"
"Yes, I won't do it if you just wake up."
"You're right, it's Fina's fault."
As the two of us talked, Fina-san seemed a bit impatient. How rare.
When we went downstairs, Gil-san and the others were sitting there again.
"Good morning."
"Morning, you guys"
"Morniing"
We exchanged morning greetings and ordered a meal. I picked soup, but Dario-san didn't jump out at me like he did yesterday.
"Marina, today... are you going to talk to Karina?"
"Yes."
"Then we'll go to the guild together then go our own ways from there."
Right, the are adventurers after all.\nAfter that, we finished our meal while talking about various topics.
"Let's go."
We left the inn and went to the guild. On the way, I asked Prenna to go into my shadow. It probably won't take more than half a day, so when we're done talking, I think I'll go to the Forest of Fog from yesterday.
"Ah! Marina-chan! You're here."
She had apparently been at the lookout in the front entrance. I got caught right away.
"Then, we'll see you later."
"Ou, remember to think carefully."
"Got it."
After talking, I parted ways with Gil-san and the rest. He told me that they'll claim the reward money and take on a new commision. He also reassured me that they would split the money later and told me that the magic stones I picked up were my share. I think I picked up quite a few? Well, I really appreciated it.
"Okay, let's talk in the room we were in yesterday."
"Alright"
Like yesterday, Karina-san led me into the room and sat down on the sofa as she said.
"Now then. For the promotion... you still need to finish more commissions."
That was no surprised since I only ever finished one commission and it hadn't even been properly processed yet.
"That's why I need you to accept this one commission."
"Commission?"
What is it? I mean, if that's all it takes to get promoted, then it must be a pretty dangerous commission, right?
"The request is..."
Karina-san kept me in suspense, causing me to unconsciously gulp.
"I'd like you to escort a researcher."
"..... Hai?"
An escort request? I thought it was to defeat some kind of monster, but...
"It's an escort for a botanical researcher. The location is the Demonic Forest."
...... This forest sounds awfully familiar.
"I'm just escorting?"
"Yes, and I guess it is dangerous for it to be just you alone..."
No, I don't think it's dangerous. That's because all the monsters would avoid me.
"In the meantime, do you think it would be better to go with Gil and the others, considering their abilities?"
"Oh, I see. That's okay."
"Yeah? Then I'll contact them later with the details."
"Okay. Then for today..."
"That's it. Thank you."
I was seen off by Karina-san from the guild.
... .... ah, I didn't hand in the medicinal herbs.
Well, I can do it later. For now, I'll head off to the Forest of Fog.\nSo, I turned to the south gate.
