Chapter 4 - A hungry beast

A sudden crash is heard from inside the building.

“Eh?!”

Surprised at what’s happening inside the three of them rushed towards the scene.

“P-please stop fighting here—eEEEK!”

The inn-keeper let out a high-pitched shriek as a result of being terrified, chairs and tables were thrown across the room as a tall masculine player and a well-built player fought with each other because of the other party don’t like “Jazz.”

“Aaahn?! What did you say about Jazz?!”

“You heard me right baldy, Jazz sucks!”

“H-Hina-sama please help!”

The inn-keeper timidly runs behind Hina’s back holding her tray close to her chest.

“E-eh?! what’s going on here?” Hina replied while looking at what’s in front.

“T-the tall man was just talking about music when the other guy countered him by saying that Jazz isn’t good.”

“Cut the crap shortie!” He raised a loud voice. “Jazz is a style of music that has a steady rhythm, improvisation, and has a perfect melody, kids this nowadays don’t know how good music is back then.”

The masculine man did a weirdly pose as if he was playing jazz.

“Are you kidding me old man?!” He replied, “Rock music is the way it goes! If you are a strong man you need to compliment it with strong music!!”

He did a pose like holding a guitar in mid-air.

As weird as it can get, “moving to another inn must be nice but—” is already written in Ambea’s face. While the two men suddenly engage each other in a fist fight since battling with swords is not very much suitable for this situation.

During their fight, some of the food that was on the table flew from across the room and hit Hina’s face and made a mess on her clothes.

Ambea slowly turned her head in shock, Hina popped out a vein at the side of her forehead.

“You two-“ Hina clenched her fist.

A beast was awoken from her sleep.

“H-Hina?! Hana do something!!” I panicked as I don’t have anything to do.

Hana just stared at what’s happening as if it’s a common thing here in this world.

“Ah! I know what to do!”

“Really?!” My eyes sparkled as I replied.

Hana went through her inventory and took out a bag of popcorn.

“Popcorn! This kind of encounters is truly rare for me since I always stayed at my lab. Go!! Big sis!!!” Hana energetically cheered for her sister.

I let out a huge sigh as I slowly gave up on trying to stop them.

“You lot have done it now!! I recently got these maid costume from an event and now it just got soiled by your foolishness….”

Seeing how Hina got angry, her obsidian eyes became azure blue and her clothes that have been soiled by the foods turned into black blood as it drips down to her clothes onto the ground. Two to three black blood spears floated behind her head.

“You think you scare us missy??”

“Heh, you can just go outside and play with your fellow friends, this is a battle within real me-.”

As the man with a well-built figure talked a blood spear flew at his face with great speed then stopped.

Looks like he froze when Hina fired one of her spears, scary.

His pride suddenly went rock bottom and due to fear that the masculine felt from Hina’s aura, he took out his great axe that is made from iron and charged at her.

“TAKE THIS!! aAHHH!”

“Are you sure about that?”

With a smug face, Hina manipulated her blood spears to turn into a net that has an effect where it can paralyze the enemy as soon as they got close in contact with it, the duration of the effect last for about 3-4 hours. Even if you logged out from the game the effect will not go away unless the player waits for it to wear off.

I really am glad that I was friends with Hina,, a sweat drop below my cheek and followed by a gulp.

“If you both cause trouble, here again, every hit that has missed today will definitely poke a hole in your skulls”

The two parties left the inn and the other people that have witnessed the fight cheered for Hina’s victory.

“T-thank you Hina-sama, I’ll g-give you guys a discount if you want to stay here for two nights.” The inn-keeper bowed to Hina as a sign of appreciation.

Hina turned back to her original form and drank the blood spears that she summoned.

“O-oh, ahahaha. It’s not a big deal.” She scratched her head and laugh

“What do you mean it’s not a big deal?! You could have been killed by those two!” Ambea scolded Hina with all the strength that she has left her stomach suddenly growled.

“Ahaha, it seems that you three must be hungry.” The inn-keeper said jokingly, “please sit down first so I can prepare your foods.”

Ambea never felt relieved when she heard that the food is being prepared.

“Big sis wait, let me use the cleaning magic that I have been working on.”

Hana chanted her cleaning magic and a mist of waters enveloped Hina’s clothes and glowed a bright blue.

“O’ Spirits of the water, heed my call and lift off the impurities that has been set on my sister’s clothes.”

Amazed at what happened, every speck of food and dirt has been removed from her clothes. These twins can surely be scary sometimes.

“Thanks, Hana your cleaning magic seems to work well.” She patted Hana’s head and gave off a smile. ”Now that everything that happened is out of the way, Mikan, let’s see your status window.”

it’s was Ambea’s first time opening her own status window as she feels excited yet nervous.

“Oh right my status window.”

Ambea drew a small pentagram in the air and a status window popped up.

Confused I

“I-is this good?” Ambea questioned not knowing anything.

Ambea looked at Hina for a bit and saw her just staring at her status window with shock.

“W-wait this isn’t—how did this happen, why does Mikan have this kind of status?! I’m the one who made this game how come-“ She said to herself while pressing her cheek against Ambea’s.

“H-huh?! What are you talking about?”

“Uhm, nevermind- the only good there are your cooking skills.”

“What’s that supposed to-“

As I was about to reply, the inn-keeper came out of the kitchen to serve us the food she prepared.

“Thanks for the wait!! I hope that you all fill up your stomachs!!” The inn-keeper smiled with confidence.

A variety of foods that consists of cream stew, roast beef, salad, pork skewers, and freshly baked bread. Just seeing them made Ambea drool for she has never tried eating those kinds of meals, is this the effect of her debuff status?

“Thanks for the meal!!” The three said together in a synchronized manner.

As Ambea took a bite from one of the meals, a burst of flavor suddenly exploded in her mouth it felt good as if she was eating for the first time again for about 5000 years.

“Mmm, the food is so deliciouuuus!!” Ambea’s eyes sparkled with satisfaction

“Eheheh.. thank you very much” The inn-keeper bowed “that takes my confidence in cooking to the next level.”

“Oh right, miss inn-keeper how did you know my name earlier?” Hina asked.

“Ah yes, the reason why I know your name is because I heard that you were a famous adventurer.”

“I see.”

“At first, I didn’t know who you were till your friend mentioned your name, it’s truly an honor in meeting you. Ah, I forgot my name is Phreia Sylfguard.”

“No problem, if there’s any trouble that comes please tell us.” Hina smiled and patted Phreia.

“I shall leave you for a bit, enjoy your meal.”

As they ended their conversation Hina turned her head around and saw Ambea eating normally and Hana eating chaotically.

“Why are you not eating Hana?” said Ambea with a mouth full

Hana stared at them with a somewhat dead look on her face.

“W-well, I-I don’t really need food because of my r-race.” Hana replied with a low embarrassed tone.

Ambea swallowed her food and took a small sip from her drink.

“Hehh?? It’s the first time I have seen you became embarrassed Hana.” Ambea said teasingly

“S-shut up!! It’s not fun if you’re a-“ Hina’s stomach growled “vampire….” She continued in a cute soft voice while turning bright red.

“Big sis is a vampire, so she needs blood for her to satisfy her hunger, I made an artificial blood using orimeri herbs but it’s not much to make her satisfied.” Hana joined in

“So that’s why she didn’t eat... do you perhaps need human blood? I don’t mind giving you mine even though it says on my status that I’m a deity.”

After eating lunch, the three decided to get a room so that Hina can drink some of Ambea’s blood.

“Are you sure that it’s okay?” questioned Hina while going behind Ambea.

“Yes, we’re friends remember? So, helping out is not much of a big deal, plus you’re hungry so don’t hold back.” Ambea encouraged Hina while slowly revealing the side of her neck.

“Well then, thanks for the food!”

Hina bit Ambea’s neck with a gentle force enough to pierce the skin, blood was also dripping down her neck because of the overflow.

“W-what is this feeling, Hina’s fangs are long but it doesn’t hurt at all… W-why, why does this feels kind of good? a-AAHN~!” Ambea thought to herself

Hina suddenly got a troubled look on her face while she’s feeding she felt a cold chill run down her spine, so she stopped.

“T-that’s enough for now… thank you for the food!! A-ah you can do what you want for a bit i-it seems that I have something needed to be done.” Hina dashed out of the room leaving the two.

Leaving Ambea with some slightly lewd face and slightly loose clothes, the wounds that Hina left in her neck healed in an instant. A small bell rang and Ambea suddenly got her sense back she opened her status window and two new skill appeared.

“Ooh! Those are some nice skills Bea-senpai!! I think that you’ll do well in battle soon.” Hana said with a playful voice.

“Y-you think so? I still need to find a weapon to use… Anyways, want to go to the baths?” She patted Hana

“YES!!” Hana agreed while hugging her

As the two girls went inside the inn’s bathhouse, they saw Hina in washing her hair.

“Hi-Hina?! I thought you were going somewhere?!”

“W-w-what?! W-why are you guys doi-“ she stood up being surprised and suddenly slip from the suds of the shampoo.

“Hi-hina?!”

“Big sis!!”
