Chapter 6: Yuri-chan gets a cat!
Despite the usual visions that night, Yuri felt oddly refreshed. Beating up the dog to death blew off a lot of steam!
“Fuwaaa, that felt nice, now I just have to go and get that book I bought online…”
As she got out of her shower, clad in her bathrobe, the floor started to tremble. She ran up to the open windows and saw a giant robot fighting an iguana on steroids.
The fight between the two looked like a sumo wrestling match, and soon, the iguana tumbled against a building. The robot jumped high in the air, and drop kicked it, apparently knocking the beast out and destroying said building.
That was then that Yuri noticed that the lizard was between the supermarket and the museum. Right where the post office where she was supposed to pick her package was.
“Ueeeeeee…”
And it was such a nice book too…
She was in her classroom when a girl came up and spoke to her. She looked a bit young to be into college, but yet again, in her time, she looked too well developed to be a high school girl.
The mousy girl seemed to be struggling with something before speaking to her.
“Freyja-sama, Tasu-kun managed to vanquish Ares, but he doesn’t know how to use his abilities to their full extent, and he will fight Hades and Poseidon soon…”
What the f…ruity pudding she ate at midday? She was found out? Already?!
Yuri decided to play it by ear, to fish out for more information and let the other down as gently as possible.
“That is troublesome indeed, but might I enquire so as to why my help is needed?”
The girl blushed and spluttered a bit, before looking at her, searching for something.
“You really don’t remember, Freyja-sama?”
“I am sorry, but I have troubles with my memory at the moment.”
“That’s…!”
The girl looked truly devastated, and Yuri started to worry, someone attached a protagonist flag on her back and knows where to find her?! It was time for serious measures!
“In… In the game, you and Tasu-kun met. You saved him, and helped him. Now, he’s been roped in a secret ‘God’s tournament’, and he has no other choice to fight to get his wish granted. He fought and beat that other god, but he can’t even endure his next opponents’ pressure! Please, please , I beg of you, help Tasu-kun.”
Still not ringing any bells.
Yuri looked at the girl’s earnest eyes, and felt bad for the deception, but…
POV Switchu ! ( Sorry, I couldn’t endure 3rd person seriousness until the end!)
“I can’t directly interfere, and I will be going away soon.”
Back to my parents’, I can’t stay if people find me!
If anything, the girl looked even more worried.
And then, I had An Idea.
No, The Idea!
I met that beast awhile ago after all. Besides, I was going to change regions anyways.
“But I can tell you where to go. There is a monster, far in the north, in the ancient forest of Balskwood, who guards a certain something. I can’t tell what, so don’t ask me. If you can beat it, the way will show itself to you. I’m sorry, I can’t say more than that.”
Jack Frost, A level 300 World Boss class monster. Totally one shot me. If they can kill that, they can beat anything.
It’s okay though, she looks like a kid that was told that finally, they’d still get Christmas presents.
“Thank you thankyou thankyou !”
And then she hug me.
Eurgh, physical contact!
Wait, she’s sniffing?
UWah ! Don’t cry on me! Keep your microbes!
She then ran away, with even more worrying parting words.
“Don’t worry, Tasu-kun will definitely save you!”
…
The last time someone tried to ‘save me’ , it ended with the high school exploding.
M’kay, let me get my things and I’ll be on my way.
...
There are a lot of European style houses here.
Umu “ Sorano Manor” that’s there.
Ah, yes, my full name is Sorano Yuri! Nice to meet you.
“I’m hooome”
“Honeeeeeey, my little lily is back !”
Before I even could take off my shoes, I was jumped on by my mother, who was currently trying to break every bone of my body.
“My poor baby! I heard about it on the television! your college was destroyed by a magical girl and your apartment was destroyed by Godzilla avenging his little cousin! I was so worried that you got caught in it too!”
In her early forties, Gisèle Sorano, née François, was a beauty of Epic proportions. She had blonde hair and violet eyes, and every friend I ever brought home always fell in love with her, regardless of the gender.
Strangely enough, mass destruction events never happened around the house.
She dragged me to my room, babbling happily all the way. To be frank, she’s the only one I miss, well , there’s my brother when he was young and adorable too, but now…
“Yuri!”
Ack ! He’s here! Evasive maneuver!
I ducked and a golden blur fled above me, before crashing into the wall.
Welp, there he goes again. My dearest brother, 2 years younger than me.
Seiryuu is his name and he too, inherited our mother’s features, with the exception of the blue eyes, inherited from our father. He’s a bit taller than me, about 1.80m and has a slightly tan skin.
Because our mother is about the prettiest you can find, he’s an extreme bishounen now that he has hit puberty.
Sadly, nowadays, his appearance is just about his only good point.
When he hit fourteen, he decided to stop calling me ‘onee chan’ and avoided me as much as he could, then he started throwing monstrous fits whenever I invited boys home. I really don’t know why…
Just kidding. He’s a siscon.
“I heard about what happened ! Those vile beasts tried to take you away from me and taste your tender flesh for themselves ! But fear not, for I am the king of thunder and the sky !”
He’s also a chuunibyou.
I stopped trying to make sense of what he was saying months ago, and since Another Side went out, it became even worse, he even tried to get me to give him my name in game, so that he could stalk me.
That bum of a brother.
And to top it off, he started frequenting delinquents!
I had to listen to mom overreacting about it for 2 hours!
Annoying.
I kicked that idiot out of my room and locked it. I don’t need that creep staring at me while I sleep.
Welcome to Another Side
Logging in...
New private message (2) received. Would you like to read it?
Might as well, yeah.
Unsurprisingly, the first is from Seiryuu, mom probably told him my pseudonym after she persuaded it out of me. He’s saying something about always protecting me from the deviants in and outside the game… aaaand I ‘m starting to have a headache, so I won’t bother reading it all.
The other one though :

It still continues for a while, but it's pretty simple.
The author never said she was good at that.
...
That’s terrible. A Godhood flag?!
Absolutely terrible!
And from a goddess of beauty nonetheless!
Quick, let’s hide it and forget about it!
O-kay! Hiding done!
Umu, at least I can have my cat now.
And what’s this thing taking space like that? Seriously, taking 3 slots for a thing is too much.
[Territory flag]Allows the user to claim a zone as his or hers. The zone will become constructible for said player.
Uoh ? That’s interesting!
A zone belonging to me!
Storehouse! Storehouse! I found myself a storehouse!
It’s great, I’m so lucky!
The fact that it's a big shiny sphere is a bit putting off, but still, that means I have a place to put all my junk in it !
That also means that I can hunt a lot and save the meat, since I have an inventory link, I can take things off as much as I want and get it immediately!
Yay!
“Raaawr” A terrifying roar immediately calmed me down.
I turn around slowly and see a lvl 200 Siberian Sibertooth Tiger emerging from a brush.
I slowly retreat until my back touches the bark of an old tree,
“Errr... Nice kitty ?”
Taming attermpt failed .
*chomp*
Lost 100 hp
Verdammt noch mal!
I climbed on the tree and started batting out the overgrown feline, which was the size of a hippo
“Go away you stupid cat!”
Beginner spear broke
Gaaaaah! If that's how you want to play, let's do this then !
Come, my only no durability item ! Boaru carucassu !
The tiger's backside was moving, the beast obviously attempting once again to leap.
It finally jumped, higher than before, and using all of my strength, I swung my mighty boar at his face.
The tiger opened its mouth to roar... and my boar went in his throat.
**cough** **wheeze**
Ha hA ! How do you like it ! Choke on it go it do iiiiiiit!
Wait a minute.
If the tiger dies, the weapons still inside it will disappear with it.
Which means my super rare delicious lvl 110 Arctic silver boar will disappear with it !
Nooooo! I don't care if you kill me but not my deluxe meat !
I climb down hastily and started pulling the pig by its legs out of the cat.
“ Hah... Stupid cat... My meaaaaaaaaaaaaaat !”
It finally got out, using both my and the cat's effort, but the strength used was so much that I flew away a few meters with the slimy carcasse of my hard earned deluxe meat.
The tiger itself fell , breathing as much as it could, when something preposterous appeared again.
Taming attempt successful. Please input new name.
Eeeeh, I don't care, I saved my boar , that's all that counts.
New name will be : skaukatt. Do you confirm
Yes.
Eh ?
The cat suddenly shined and shrunk back, until a small, fluffy, adorable white tiger cub appeared in its place.
Ah, I remember now.
You see, a monster's level influences its appearance, the lower it is, the younger it looks.
A tamed monster's level cannot exceed it's owner's.
So, the tiger got back to level one, conserving all it's stats.
It looked at me
I looked at it
“Mew” It said, looking up at me with its big blue eyes and overflowing fluffiness.
“SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!” I jumped, proceeding to cuddle the heck out of it.
…
I was in front of the campfire, Katt dozing off on my knees, and Cheshire looking alternatively between me and the furball.
“You're saying that you tamed a lvl 200 monster ?”
“Yup.”
“And that it shrunk back to the point it's useless now ?”
The tiger took offense of that and hissed at the catboy, which made her fawn on it even more, which upset the boy and made the cub incredibly smug,
-End-
“Tasu-kun ! I found Freyja ! She was at the xxx college!”
The black haired youth blinked and expressed his surprise.
“Huh? Really !”
“Yes, she told us where we could get help.”
“Nevermind that, where is she now ?!”
“ She went back at her flat, we should go and see her.”
The black haired boy and his har... group of very pretty girls quickly arrived at the apartment, to see it be destroyed by a giant robot.
“Heh, figured you'd go here, adding stalking to your crimes now, Cronos ?”
That hated voice...
“Zeus ! You bastard, you...”
“I'll have to inform you that my parents were married when I was born, but nevermind that.” His eyes narrowed and his voice lowered“You're not the first to go after her, and if I find you skulking around again, I will erase you all.”
The browned haired girl reacted immediately.
“How dare you keep them apart ! Tasu-kun has l-loved her for longer than you.”
Zeus' phone vibrated and he looked at his message.
A smirk now graced his face, and signalled at his men to immobilize the group
“He can love her all his life for what I care, as long as he doesn't know where she is.”
----------------------------------------
This chapter felt a bit filler-y. Sorry for not posting yesterday, bad case of gastro-enteritis.
I've made this chapter extra long to compensate for it.
We meet berser-tan ! The only one that hasn't 'Yuri' in her name, because she can't think.
AndYuri got trolled by the universe again, and her natural stupidity keeps her from the dungeon overlord path. Storehouse indeed.
Uoh ! Catboy and kitty tiger met ! Who will remain and who will go away ? Lauch your betting!
