VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

"Haaa…"

Misha ended up falling asleep while they were coming back, so Elio carried her back on his back.

And when got back, Alex was already waiting for him on the ground floor.

"See. Didn't I say I'd get back before you."

She was talking with Miss Rin with her sword on the table, and he could tell there was something strange going on here.

But he was too tired to think about something like that, so he looked at Miss Rin and she came up to him and carefully took the sleeping girl from him.

"Thank you for looking after her."

Miss Rin smiled warmly at him as she usually does and after bowing to him and to Alex, she went back to put her pretty sleeping daughter in her room.

"Hun?"

And then, without even looking at Alex, he walked up the stairs.

"Hey…"

He was too tired to deal with her.

He could already tell she lied to him when she said she had some work to do. There was also something going on between her and Miss Rin before he came here.

"Haaa…"

He wanted to ask what she was up to, but he was just too tired for that right now so he at least got back to their room first and fell down on his bed.

"You can't even handle a teen child. How will you handle a baby?"

With a smirk, she came and sat beside him.

"Let alone a baby, how will you handle the little friends you make going forward?"

She placed Az and Miu, who he left on the ground floor, in their basket.

These two were smart so they knew at least a little about how to look after one another, but what will he do when he gets a friend that has no worldly knowledge?

How will he be a father in the future if just handling an older child like her made him so exhausted?

"Haaa… Misha is different, Alex."

She was caressing his hair, he loved it.

They had been together for a while, but neither of them really believed in the ceremonial marriage.

They lived together, did everything that a married couple would do, and perhaps much more than that.

They surely were more than a couple living together, and since they even thought about their future occasionally, they knew what they wanted from one another.

"She had that… bright energy to her. I don't know how to explain it."

With his head now placed on her lap, he sighed while staring up at the ceiling.

She was his bliss. He did not need a potion or any items to feel refreshed when she was around.

"I agree on that point. She sure is special." She smiled at him warmly.

And the hidden mysterious feeling hidden behind that smile told him how she knew more about this than what she was letting out.

"You… hide a lot of things in here, you know? Completely different from your 'self' in the outside world."

"You're new here, dear. Telling you everything at once will be no fun."

She ruffled his hair while laughing and… then placed her head on his forehead.

"We will be leaving the town soon."

"Yeah…"

Thanks to all the quests, they had earned a lot of experience and were both (Level-35).

They could leave the town any time they wanted now that they were done with everything that they needed to do in this place.

She already obtained what she needed and he had obtained something that he will be able to use in the future.

He had some unique talents so that thing will be great for him, but before he could use it, he will have to deal with some things with the dagger that he received from the guard captain.

"It was a fun experience, Alex."

When he finished his tutorial quest and came to this town, he did not think it would be so much fun.

Things here were completely different from what he had expected.

The hunting was a special experience, seeing all those cool creatures, seeing this unique town, seeing the various things in this town, meeting so many people, so many good people… meeting a new friend that will accompany them, even staying at a place that he might never forget.

And the town quest and library event…

"It was unforgettable…"

He did not know how it had been if they had gone to some other town, but the fact that they fatefully ended up in this specific place where they not only experienced so many amazing things, met so many amazing people, and had such unique experiences, was something that he was thankful for.

"Elio oh my darling Elio…"

She shook head with a smile on her face that was making fun of him.

"If you are like that after just this much, you have no idea what awaits you outside this town."

Forest vaster than deserts, deserts hotter than volcanoes, volcanoes colder than glaciers, and glaciers house entire civilizations.

There were so many things in this world that they will need another half a decade just to see all the good things that she had seen in her time here, and more that they were going to see as they traveled the world in search of objects that will give her powers back to her.

"Didn't I say we will have a looooot of fun?"

Their next main destination will be a vast Jungle even bigger than the small 'forest' that they had in Moongold.

It was strange how a jungle was going to be bigger than a forest, but while the Great forest of Moongold was called the great forest by the people, their next destination was given the title of <Jungle of Nozama> one of the vastest greenlands on the western continent.

However, before they reached the forest, they were going to stop at a city. Get a little stronger, and prepare to go to a place that is filled with all kinds of dangerous creatures.

"Anyway…"

How about we open those pouches we received from the librarian's treasury. I wanna see what it has.

"Must we do it right now…?"

She turned his head around and buried it in her firm thighs.

"Yes we have to do it right now. So come on. Don't be lazy."

It would not take longer than a few moments anyway.

He could do at least that much even if he was being lovably lazy right now.
