“You sure you aren’t messing with me, Kate”
“Why would I mess with you”
“Since I was away, you probably hid the statue with something or took it somewhere”
“If you don’t trust me, then take a look about you, I have no idea what you are talking about”
“This can’t be right”
“The moment I went in I saw Marie, but the next thing I knew her statue was gone”
“Did something happen back in that area?”
“I think I will pray with each of the goddesses again”
“You can’t” Kate replied
“You are only allowed one day to pray to each of the goddesses per month”
“Meaning that I have to wait another month before I can pray again?!”
“That is correct”
“...ok then, I will go back and you can go home now”
“Ok!”
I left the altar and went back to Mist’s Castle and there I saw Athena
I used my cloak to hide and tried to sneak past her, but it didn’t work since my cloak was can be easy spots as it stands out
She grabbed the end of my cloak with her shoe pulling me down to the ground
She lifted her foot off my cloak and walked to face me, which was the opposite direction of where she pulled me from
She then crouches and pulls my cloak to pull me closer to her
“You should know how to greet someone when they are waiting for you”
“Sorry and I’m back Athena…”
“Tsk” Letting go of me and going inside
“Is it me or is she more pissed than before?”
Still wondering I started to go in
“Hey, Yasu” turning to that Mist is greeting me and waving at me
“Hey” I wave back
“Come, come dinner is ready”
“Alright, let's eat” I charged into the dining room and seeing someone that I should’ve expected to come
“Hey, how you doing” I see Kate waving her hand and stuffing food into her mouth with her other hand
“Why is ‘she” doing here” pointing my finger at her when I said ‘she’
“Oh come on Yasu don’t be rude, she will be living with us!” Smiling happily
“Why are you letting her stay when Athena isn’t going to be happy about it”
“I told her about it and she said there was no problem”
“No problem you say” thinking back to how pissed she was when she was outside
“But what about your parents and why don’t I see them anywhere?”
“Oh my parents are away in the next kingdom to try and make an alliance with them”
I signed as I had no ideas to get her out
“Alright, Kate welcome…”
“Likewise!” still stuffing food in her mouth
I sat down and ate with everyone this includes Kasey being on the table and not on the ground
After finishing dinner, I hit the showers and then straight to bed
The next morning, I wake up to the next day
Getting dressed and everything I headed to the dining room see Athena, Mist, Kasey, and Kate there
“So it wasn’t a dream”
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
I sat down on an empty seat
“Hey, let's do a quest!” Kate declares as she lifts her fork up as if she was a leader of an army
I look at Kasey to see if she is going to agree on it, but she was too busy trying to gnaw down her food like a little chipmunk
This soothed me, as it was so cute, but my moment was interrupted by Kate
“Hey, hey let's do a quest” saying it twice
“Alright, Alright we will do a quest”
“We need the money anyway”
“Alright”
“So uh Mist what are we eating today”
“Oh I was told Athena was cooking this time”
“Athena? I wonder what she is cooking today”
“I am done” as Athena comes out with a weird concoction
I used my fork to poke the concoction and to my surprise, the fork didn’t melt or anything, but I still didn’t eat it even though I see Kate and Kasey eating it
“I will eat this on the go,” I said as took it with me
“No, you eat it NOW” Athena threatened
Having no choice, I took in it
….
Nothing happened, but it was pretty good
“What is this anyway, Athena”
“This is a special recipe passed to those who have the power to hold Masamusa” showing a small knife with symbols that I can’t read or comprehend
“Oh ok then”
After finishing the black concoction, everyone except Mist and Athena left for the guild
Approaching the guild, we see the many adventurers that were heavy equipped and/or skilled
I quick walked passed many of them trying to not attract any attention as I when to the quest board to pick a quest out
I quickly grabbed the easiest quest there was as it had ??? and ran start straight to the check out table
I handed over the quest paper
The person in charge of the checkout looks at the paper and back at me
“Are you sure you want to take this escort quest?”
“Yes”
“Are you sure you don’t want to do the easier quests on the board?”
“I say this is the easiest quest for me”
“Wow, must be pretty strong, like they say can’t judge someone by looks” as approves the quest
“Alright, you all set, good luck!”
*bing*
*NEW Quest*
Quest: Escort Vangule to her wanted location
Difficulty: ???
Type: Escort
Location: #691 Resident’s Area Section 3 Quadrant 3
Escort: Vangule
To: ??? [Discovered during Mission]
I then left and met up with Kate and Kasey
“So I got this quest”
“Oh wow an escort quest!” Kate said
“It is rare these days to find an escort quest as there aren’t many people who need to be escorted”
“So who are we escorting,” I asked as I didn’t have the chance to read the quest
“It seems like we are escort someone with the name, Vangule[Van-gul]”
“Is that the name?”
“Yeah, I suppose so”
“Alright then let's go!” Kate said
“It says we are going to this location”
“You ready Kasey”
“Yes…” as she clings on to me
“Haha, alright let's go”
Wandering around for a couple of minutes we found the location
The location consists of an old mansion and a grave under a nice grown tree
“Are you sure this is the place” as I felt a chill go passed me
“Yeah!” Kate replying with no fear whatsoever
I look at Kasey who is still clinging to me and is looking back at me and she too didn’t feel scared, so maybe it is just me
“Let's go in then and find her and get her to where she needs to be”
As the door, we opened the door and took a step we heard a loud creak to the floor as it as if it was to let the person inside know that someone is inside
Luckily for me, I could see in the dark due to my night vision from the demon’s eyes
“Man, it is so dark in here” Kate trying to squint to adjust to the darkness
“Don’t worry I can see so we are fine”
“Me too…” as a hear a soft voice, realizing it was Kasey I saw her eyes glow in the dark
I thought it was pretty weird, so I ignored it
Wandering around the dark mansion we saw a small light coming from a room
Approaching it we were read to breach and enter
Upon entering through I was hit with a bright light as I still had my night vision, so did Kasey
But Kate who didn’t have any of the sorts was happy to see light again
Once I had turned off my night vision and adjusted to the light, I was fascinated to see that the light-up room was clean and had furniture
There was a table in the center of the room, a bed on the right corner facing the door, a TV on the far left of the wall dressers in front of the bed, and other trinkets and drawers that were used to hold it
The room as a whole looked like an otaku’s room as it had minifigures and lots of collectibles
While looking around from a room, I hear something drop
Alerted by the noise, I turned around where the door was
I was surprised to see a girl wearing a bunny costume with bunny ears
And I wasn’t the only one how saw it Kasey and Kate also saw her
Kate, who was immediately intrigued, ran to her and hugging her as if it was the most cutest thing she ever saw in her whole life
Seeing the girl getting constricted by Kate, I told her to stop
Upon releasing her, the girl patted her costume
Then spoke,
“What are you doing here at my humble abode?”
“We are here to escort someone here”
“And who would that be”
“Uh.. let's see…” Looking at the quest paper once again
“The person we have to escort is Vangule”
“Oh that me” as I looked up from the quest paper to see that the girl is pointing at herself
“So where do we need you to escort you to?”
“Oh ok then follow me”
As we walked out of the room and then out of the mansion, we then stopped at the front of the door.
“So why did you stop…” I asked
“Oh nothing”
We then continued, and strangely enough, we were healing to Mist’s castle
As we stopped at the front gate of her castle, I asked the girl
“Are you sure this is the right place since this is the main castle of the kingdom”
“Yes, didn’t you see on the quest”
I looked at the address of the area
Escort to this location: Main Big Castle
“...”
“See I told you”
“What kind of address is this!”
“Well I technically didn’t know the exact location of the castle, I just know that it is”
“I swear to g-”
Before I could finish I see Athena come out
“Hey, Athena can you tell her that she is in the wrong location” as I pointed to her
Athena then walked towards her and presented the girl in
“You may now enter, madam”
“What is going on?”
I when close to Athena and whispered to her
“What is going on”
“Are you stupid! This girl is Princess’s little sister!”
“Oh snap, so she is the second princess?!”
“Yes”
“Though I don’t care what you do to her, I only care if you upset Mist” Athena added with a scary look on her face
Backing away from her I entered MIst’s place, seeing MIst I greeted her and she greeted me back
“Oh welcome back Yasu, I thought you wouldn’t be home until night since I was told you were taking on an escort mission”
“I am, I was told on the quest to bring a little girl here”
“Little girl? Here?”
By the looks of Mist’s face, it seems like she was unaware of this
“The girl said that she was supposed to be here and Athena even greeted her”
“What?”
“Oh shoot, we have to go find her or else something bad might happen”
