YM778.TV Chapter 103: [Uninvited Guests!]
A lot many things have happed to them, but perhaps we were in sort of a fantasy setting, they recollected themselves pretty faster than what normally should have tak days, months ev.
Though it doesn\'t change the fact that we could gain a lot of things today. Especially since most of the things were pretty much free for the players.
"It\'s kind of bland though," I spoke as I looked at the tasteless cupcake in my hand. Since it was bright and colorful, I was expecting it to have an equally good taste but it was dry and bland, without any saltiness or sweetness in it.
Still, it wasn\'t a good thing to throw away food so I ded up finishing it one go before I drank some water, and looking at the night city view in front of me once again.
"It\'s refreshing no matter how many times I see it," I mumbled with a smile as I recalled what the NPCs have told me about this place. According to them, since their powers were mostly active during the day, they spt most of their day time sleeping, while the night was pretty much the most busy time in the city.
"Well. Now that I have completed the city tour, what should I do next?" I thought before my eyes reached the two NPCs at the city gates. They seemed to be arguing about something.
A man, probably a 6 feet in height, black hair and blue eyes. He seemed pretty young but based on the arm muscles and his way and behavior, I think he was pretty much a in his early 0s. Wearing a casual shirt over his black pants, he was talking to the NPC woman beside him, who seemed to be rather irritated with him.
The woman beside him had black hair that reached upto her shoulders and eyes that seemed to be rather dark for some reason. And wearing that one piece black dress, she looked rather charming in the night city, while she carried a black rose in her hand as she observed her surings.
Ev though they were as simple as they could be… something felt odd about them.
And before I knew it, I had already reached towards them, close ough to hear them arguing something.
"Are you sure he wouldn\'t just kill us if he finds what we are doing? He doesn\'t like anyone interfering with his way of doing things, you know?" The woman spoke a bit worried as he looked at that man, who seemed pretty confidt for some reason.
"It\'s all right. Have I ever be wrong? I am just here to help him out," the man spoke before that woman rolled her eyes over before speaking,
"As if that guy would need our help in anything. Honestly, you are just doing things to keep him in your favor, ar\'t you? As long as he owes you, you can just get him to do your dirty work?"
"Do you really think of me that bad of a person?" The man spoke a bit shocked. The woman walked forward without ev looking at him as she answered,"yes. I do."
That man felt rather dejected before he sighed and followed behind the woman. That woman th reached closer to me, as she smiled at me…
Gulp. Mommy… I think I am in love…
"Hey, Kid. Can you guide us to the castle? We are here to meet… um… what was his name a this time?" That woman turned a as he looked at that man, before he smiled and answered,
"Adrian. Or should it be Crowley? Hmmm… Kid, what\'s your name?"
Coming out of my stupor, I looked at that man, before I recalled what he said just now. Why were they looking for Adrian? And who is Crowley?
"Can you please tell me where he is?" That woman asked as she looked deeper into my eyes before I suddly felt an urge to tell her everything.
"He must be.. in the castle," I spoke with a happy expression as I looked at that girl.
-Click!
And by the sound of a click, I found myself standing in an empty street as I looked at the cupcake in my hand. My eyes focused on that tasteless cupcake in my hand before I slowly took a bite out of it.
"It\'s kind of bland," I said as I felt like it was rather too colorful for a taste that was… well… tasteless. I th ate up all at once before looking at the night view in front of me.
"It\'s kind of refreshing," I smiled as I looked at the view before I continued walking as I wondered what I should do next. Though I paused as I felt like it all had happed once. Kind of like a deja vu.
"Hmmm… strange," I spoke before continuing on with my walk. Forgetting the interaction with that duo, as if it never happed.
…
[Location: In the Kitch Area where Nora and Rosaliyah were working to make up another batch of Strawberry Pies and a few more dishes on the side!]
"You sure do like strawberry pies, huh?" Rosaliyah spoke as she looked at Nora, joying the cooking process. Nora, th turned to Rosaliyah, as she answered,
"It was my husband\'s favorite. I used to make it for him every morning. It\'s kind of a momto to remind me of him."
A blush appeared on Nora\'s face as she explained about her habit, while Rosaliyah just chuckled before she shook her head and continued cooking with her own work as well.
"What about you? Do you have anyone you love?" Nora asked in return, making Rosaliyah pause for a momt before speaking,
"There is but… I shouldn\'t talk about it."
"Why?" Nora asked as she looked at her while carrying a bag of strawberries in her hands. Rosaliyah sighed as she gave an honest answer,
"My curse will activate if I start talking about it."
This made Nora pause as she looked at Rosaliyah with a surprised gaze. Ev though she understood Rosaliyah\'s condition, she was still rather shocked to see that Rosaliyah was going through something like that.
Th with pity filled eyes, she looked at Rosaliyah before speaking," let\'s hope both of our problems should get solved soon."
Rosaliyah slowly nodded, though her eyes didn\'t have much hope in these regards. What she was up against… she herself didn\'t know the extt of power of the one that had cursed her. In a way, she was just passing time wondering what her purpose of life is really.
"I was making some normal pancakes for myself along with yours. Would you like some?" Rosaliyah spoke, trying to change the conversation, but someone else gave her an answer before Nora could.
"I would."
Both Nora and Rosaliyah turned to look at the source of the voice as they found two people, a blue-eyed and black haired guy standing along with a girl in black.
"You! How is… this possible?" Nora spoke as she was shocked to see that man\'s face. It\'s as if she had se a ghost, she carefully looked at that guy with fear in her eyes.
As for Rosaliyah…
-BOOM!
She wt in for a direct killing blow at that guy. That attack hit that guy at once, blowing him into pieces while that girl simply stood there.
It happed too fast for anyone to see. But Rosaliyah was more surprised than anyone else as she looked at her own hands in slight discomfort.
It was as if it were too easy for some reason.
And before she could look at that girl who came with that man…
-Click!
Everything returned to a few momts before where the duo were facing Nora and Rosaliyah.
"You! How is… this possible?" Once again, Nora spoke the same thing as she looked at that guy. Though, her eyes shook as she somehow felt a discomfort in her heart. As if whatever was happing was wrong. Something was odd about everything.
"…"
Rosaliyah, who seemed like she saw everything that had happed, her eyes were surprised before she looked at her own two hands. She tighted her fist before releasing them, as she sighed a bit.
Th she turned at that man, still smiling as much as before. She th looked next at that girl with the black flower, observing her with a narrowed look.
As if recalling somehow, her eyes shook for a brief momt.
"I have heard about you. You are the 8th, right? Or were you the 7th? Heather, right? Never knew you guys could work together," she spoke with quite an irritated tone as she looked at that girl.
Heather, that girl in black, was surprised to know that this girl knows her. Though that guy just chuckled a bit before speaking,
"Well. Heather, she is Lirawern\'s wife. Rosaliyah, she is Heather."
"Wait! Lirawern?! Hey! You didn\'t tell me anything about that?!" Heather was shocked as she looked at that guy beside her, who was pretty calm about everything.
And his nonchalant attitude was annoying Rosaliyah as she looked at the shocked expression of Heather, before her eyes reached that guy again.
She th took a deep breath and calming herself down before speaking,
"You have brought an annoying one this time, kid. Tell me… Adam fucking Wesker… what exactly is your objective here this time?"
