Chapter 178 Time off
(Back to reality…)
Rest in the real world was important as well so they were resting in the real world after finishing the important quest with the viscount.
They were doing something they liked right now, which was different for both of them, but they were doing it in the same room without disturbing one another, so that was a unique thing.
"How does this look?"
"Hmmm? Oh damn. That's a good one as well."
Elio was printing out some screenshots that he had selected from the thousands that he had taken in the game while Alex was surfing through the community for anything that could catch her eyes.
"You remember the one I asked about, right?"
"Oh, yes. I sent it to Xin so he's going to take care of it."
"He better do a good job, alright?"
"I trust his skills, it's fine."
The last time they were outside, they met up with their friend Olive and then they went back to playing.
They had taken a break for a few hours when they reached their chariot's assigned limits as well, but since they were going to do the viscount's quest, they went back after a quick break and a little sleep.
Now that the quest was over, they were going to take a longer break so that they are ready for the big event that they were going to have in a few days.
It wasn't going to be a simple event. Unlike all the things that they had experienced until now, they were going to the house of a noble for an actual event.
There were going to be many people of great importance present in that event, and since this event was the Birthday of the Princess of Cromwell, every neighboring lord, as well as the other smaller fief lords were also going to attend.
Some rich merchants, and some special people that were selected by the viscount himself were also going to be there.
"You know what Elio, we should go and have some ice cream."
"Hmm? Out of the blue?"
"I'm craving sweets… well, there's always the Other option. You know?"
They needed to be in their top condition for the event, and to be in the top condition, they needed to rest.
But, instead of resting or sleeping, they were high on caffeine and were doing something else.
"It's six in the morning, Alex. I'm not eating ice cream right now. Let's go and eat some warm cake."
"The chocolate cake? Nah. That's not what I want."
She was on her chair a moment ago, but by the time he looked back up, she was standing beside him.
"You know what I want, my sweet cinnamon roll?"
She was quite agile in the real world as well so he had to keep an eye out for the strange things that she does occasionally.
Especially when she's nearing her cycle, he had to be especially cautious in those times.
"No, Alex."
When she was just about to get on her knees before him and press him against the desk with the printer, he moved and her head hit the desk instead.
"We have to go back to sleep in a bit anyway. Don't get me started right now!"
They knew they needed sleep, but they also knew they were going to go and have some drinks when they go down for some fresh food later.
They knew what they do to each other, for each other, and with each other after downing a few good ones, so at least he didn't want to start right now.
The food was necessary, and so was the rest.
And if they start right now-.
-Buzzz! Buzzz!
Alex didn't like getting hit by that desk so she was about to jump on him and give him a decent beating, but right when she turned back with her sharpened claws ready, they heard their doorbell.
[Facial recognition confirmed.]
[Biometrics confirmed.]
[ID: Olivia confirmed.]
[Asking for permission to grant access.]
They heard the voice of their house's AI caretaker Sunday, and looked at each other with a surprised look.
"Why's she here so early in the morning?"
"Could it be that the cheriot's here?"
They looked at one another for a few more seconds, evaluated the level of honey they had reached, and concluded they could put this off for the time being before both of them got out of the room and went out of their room.
"Sunday, open the door for her. Tell her we will be out in a bit."
[Yes, master.]
They did not have time so they needed to wear at least something before they went out. Being naked half of the time they were here was one of the reasons they were so Active.
"You're wearing that inside out!"
"Well, who cares?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"She will care. Wear it right."
Alex was so lazy she didn't even wear her t-shirt properly.
She was hot without those clothes, but most of the time, the clothes that she wore were always something random, oversized, and something that would completely cover the body that she had forged with years of hard work.
"Look, Alex."
"What?"
"You're hot."
He kissed her before he ran out.
"…"
He wanted to do a lot more after seeing that clumsy side of her, but they didn't have any time right now.
There was a guest they had to attend to for now.
"What the hell?"
He kissed her out of the blue so even she was surprised how he just ran out after only that little peck on her lips.
That wasn't even a proper kiss!
"Elio!"
She ran out angry after that as well, and by the time she reached the hall room where Olive was sitting already, she realized something.
"Hmm? Alex?"
She forgot to put on the shirt that he wanted her to wear properly… so she had to run back inside and come back with an embarrassed face instead.
"Why were you only wearing a-."
"Don't ask."
She sat down beside her, and looked at the bastard that just left her there with that small peck.
"Bastard."
If he really meant what he said, he should have at least used his tongue or something. That was… disrespectful!
"Hmph."
He was going to get a beating, Olive could tell that much from that angry expression.
