A wild Rita has appeared! I didn’t even noticed the System Notification saying she had logged in! I guess she really came to save me but- What the heck did she do?! She knocked out two fairy guards?! Is she insane! Ugh! All the approval I worked hard to earn is now in the gutter!
“Rita, you idiot!!!” I cried, as she opened the door and I suddenly swung my hand at her, but an invisible wall stopped me from hitting her in the face. Ah, this was the Anti-PVP thingy.
“Woah! W-what’s wrong?! You created the Quest and sent it to me! I came here to rescue you like the Quest said I should…” Sighed Rita while looking at me as she raised an eyebrow. “But anyways, been a while since we saw each other in game! It has been like two weeks since we saw each other in real life too, I missed you my cinnamon roll~!” Rita spread her arms and hugged me tightly, showering my face with kisses.
I fought against her hugs as I struggled and moved away from her. As we were friends, it was possible to touch one another and hug each other without restrictions as long as they didn’t meant any harm. But currently I didn’t had the time to deal with hugs!
“But you shouldn’t had hit the fairies and knocked them out! Also how did you get in here if there is a barrier that stops people from infiltering inside the kingdom?” I asked her.
“The System guided me into a secret passage, also the barrier was easy to trespass, I simply used the power of the Spirits of Darkness and used the [Intangibility] Spell to get through it, easy peasy~!” Laughed Rita rather cockily. “But why are you so worried?! And let me hug you a bit more! I need my weekly fix of Elayne cuteness…! I’ve missed you!”
Rita once more began to hug me and squeeze me with her arms, kissing my forehead a lot as if I were some sort of baby… Ugh, she’s really clingy sometimes. I kissed her cheek and then moved away again.
“I get that you missed me, but this is not the time to go around hugging each other, we are adult women too, it’s kind of weird you get so clingy!” I said.
“Eeeeh?! So harsh! You’re like my little sister!” Said Rita.
“Now listen to me and stop being so carefree! The quest is about helping and befriending the fairies… You know what you just did here? You hit them! Now they’ll see us as bad people! These fairies are annoyingly delicate and overly serious, I was invited by a young fairy here and I thought it was going to be fun, but they thought I was an invader and sent me to prison!” I cried. “I can’t help them if they see me as a foe, you know?”
“Oh, I get it…” Said Rita, looking back at the mess she left behind. “Oops… Well! It’s not like we can’t make up for it! Right? There’s a bunch of giant snake monsters coming to this place right now, so let’s go beat them up for the moment, alright?”
“You’re way too carefree…” I sighed.
“And you’re taking a game way too seriously, relax, relax~!” Said Rita while waving her hands.
“Ugh! Well, you already kind of ruined it. Also this is my Class Change and Subclass Quest so I cannot really take it easy… Rita you’re not a gamer so you don’t understand, but when we play games, we think they’re more than just a game, you know?” I asked angrily.
“Geez, you’re getting all weird again, okaaaay~” Rita laughed off at my words, I felt offended as a casual gamer. Even as casual as I am, still got the pride of a gamer! Nonetheless, I quickly took out my Spear and pointed it at the cage, I was able to easily shapeshift this spear as it was made out of the wood of the Tree of Beginnings and I had used my own wood as well, so it felt like a part of my own body at times.
The true power of this spear was that I could shapeshift into various farming tools, and through the [Farming Tools Usage] Skill, the power of my farming tools was enhanced as if it were a weapon skill, with a single swing of my weapon, I easily freed my tamed pets and summons.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
“Meee!”
“Gryshiii!”
“Roar!”
“Guu!”
Belle, Loki, Silver, and Mimy all were freed, and they ran towards me, jumping over my body and beginning to lick me with their various and differently shaped tongues. They seemed to have grown slightly distressed inside cages, especially Silver and Mimy who are tamed pets and not summons, having affection bars made it so I had to pay extra attention to not upset them. I took out some meat from my Inventory and feed it to them, and well, Loki also wanted to eat some. Belle ate a pile of Grass I made for her and some leaves I produced over my arm.
“Gross! You’re feeding the goat with your own body?!” Asked Rita. “Doesn’t it hurt?”
“Hurt? Well, I turned the pain settings to almost nothing so I only feel a little scratchy feeling. Each leaf is just around 1 HP and my HP recovers quickly took, so this is an efficient way to feed Belle without complications.” I said with a prideful smile.
“Meeee!”
Belle seemed to agree, she was having a nice time eating, Rita was just a bully that didn’t took her into consideration!
“Here, have some too,” I said, giving Rita a red fruit I had already produced beforehand, she ate it and found it sweet and tasty.
“Oooh?! This is good! It recovered a bit of MP and HP… Tastes like a mix of apple and peach.” Said Rita. “These are…?”
“They’re fruits produced from my body! They’re called Dryad’s Gift!” I said with a smile.
“Uegh…!”
