The Daily Quest is something that I can do even with failing or not completing every day. But Tema said that there's something that will happen if I can't do my Daily Quest in a week. So at least, I am doing my Daily Quest to dodge that unknown penalty.
But this Sudden Quest, I really don't know how Tema generates this. She's not even answering me. Does it mean that this quest is something that she doesn't generate? I mean, I can pretty deduce that Great Mother is the mastermind behind the Daily Quest. But this one is really a mystery for me.
Daily Quest helps to improve my nation since Great Mother agreed to it. I can't evolve into a demon lord so I have at least to establish a fear to humans instead of invading. But it doesn't mean I am just waiting for others to attack me. I'm not that idiot.
The reason I am doing this is to make some foundation. Foundation so that they can't easily defeat us. When I go back, I will surely do some addition to the order and government.
I also forgot where to put the dungeon core with my dimensional biome. I hope that I can find a secluded place at Florencia.
This information is really important and classified since it will contribute greatly to our nation.
Now... there's some feature that I haven't tried. It is the Shop and Achievements.
I've been neglecting this two since I was really busy. I haven't even had a peaceful day. All-day was just about getting strong and managing some holes for making my nation powerful.
"Can I wait in a room or something? I've come from Olteria and I want to have a rest." I asked Mryna.
Even she seems hesitant, she doesn't want to be rude to me anymore. Well, I am a sponsor in her eyes so I guess she'll consider my request.
I can even have a free cook and bed. Wow... This will be the best travel.
"Yes, sir. Please follow me. Dad! Our guest will be using a room! Please fetch the ingredients here!"
An adult just in his prime entered the room. He was wearing a bandana and an apron. He looks like the main cook of this diner and also the father of Mryna since he was the one who appeared.
"Thank you sir for the benevolence. Please, Mryna, have our guest to the room."
I just bowed as respect then followed Mryna. We went upstairs then presented me with a room with limited space. It looks like a 3 by 3 meters room. Well, I don't have a problem with this.
"Please forgive me, sir. This is the only room I can offer."
"No, it's okay. I'm not really that picky regardless of how grandiose I wear. I'll have my rest then."
"Yes sir. Thank you once again."
"Wait." I can't let this go on. It really bothers me. "Stop calling me sir. Just call me Hanzel."
"But-!" I hushed her immediately to stop her reasoning.
"No buts. I want you to be familiar with me."
But it doesn't mean that I'll show you my face. I think my name will be okay.
"Thank you... Hanzel." After that, she left me then head downstairs.
I just went into the room then dive into the bed.
"Ouch!"
I was stupid. I thought that this will be soft but I was wrong. Haha. I'll just take off my mask.
I inspected the room. It is really not that great. The walls are only made of wood. There is no other hue but only brown. There are also hooked garments on the wall that makes it looks like a staff room.
Guessing that this is really a staff room, perhaps it will be more appropriate to call this their bedroom.
Sighs... That was mentally tiring.
I stretched my limbs before calling out Tema. I want her help with the other features I haven't checked.
'Tema.'
[Yes, Hanzel... Wait! You really like to share your real name to beauties, huh.]
'What?! Were you waiting for me to say that? Dumbass! It's not even about my name! It's my alias since I'm not good at names!'
[Why are you reacting? I was just teasing you.]
'Argh. Nevermind. I want to ask about the shop. Can you show it to me, maybe this will help with my problems?'
[Sure... wait a minute.]
---
[Shop]
Shop coins = 10 coins|
[+][-] [Buy][Sell]
[+][-] [Buy][Sell]
[+][-] [Buy][Sell]
---
So this is the Shop feature? It is superb. I think most of the features of the system have given me.
The items available here is also the one that I really needed the most. But there's something that bothers me. How will I earn coins? It's not like real money will be useful.
Wait... there's a sell button here. Does this mean I can sell? But the only thing I can sell is logs. However, I can't sell them right now since it is one of the most useful items I need.
'Tema, how will I earn coins?'
[By achievements and selling. You can't earn from doing quests but an achievement from the quests is also available.]
I see... so that where I will earn coins. I should check the last one too.
---
[Achievement]
---
Hm... this one is intruiging too. But a problematic too. They are all useful achievements since I can earn coins.
However, what the hell is
---
Pretend to be an ally of at least 3 nations, then betray them.
Reward(s): 1000 coins
---
This is out. There's no way I'm gonna do this. No way! Even I will have to become a demon lord, this is out of the choices. It is the lamest form of betrayal! Stabbing at the back!
Then, let's see the other achievements...
---
Tame at least 50 kinds of monsters
Reward(s): 400 coins
Own at least 5 Divine Beast
Reward(s): 2000 coins
Finish at least 5 quests
Reward(s): 200 coins
---
At least these three are useful and there's one that I can easily finish. Since I have a sudden quest, I can get this achievement.
Okay... that's the matter for now. I guess I'll fix the ingredients issue of Isvard before going to the king.
What a tiresome job. I thought I can enjoy being in this world...
[Hanzel, I have a suggestion for you.]
'What is it?'
[Marry Mryna so that you can easily fix the issue!]
'Fuck off. There's that again with your useless words. I miss your robotic traits!'
[Haha. Dear reincarnator, did you miss me?]
'Shut up!'
Tema... she's really becoming too annoying.
***
I didn't notice that I fell asleep. And what about Mryna? She didn't even call me for the food.
There's no other choice, I will just join them to prepare the food. Perhaps they are still not done.
'Tema, did Mryna visit this room?'
[No. She did not.]
I guess she really is not done. That's it!
I took my mask then wears it. I went down the stairs but on the way, I noticed some noises. What's happening?
After reaching the ground floor, I saw Mryna covering his father who was getting beaten by some thugs.
What the hell?
As a reflex, I rushed to the scene then kicked the thug. To my surprise, the thug flew few distances away and hit the wooden wall.
The other though reacted then pointed his weapon at me.
Is this their archaic type of thugs? They only wore simple clothes but I can tell that they don't have any good intentions. Well, their faces tell me so.
"What are you doing? Get lost before we beat you too."
There are 8 thugs swarming to get inside the diner. This is really big huh. Why are there thugs here?
"I want to ask you first. Why are beating him?" At my intimidating words, I noticed that the thug reacted before answering my question.
"Obviously, because they can cook again. Hey! Are you not from here? You don't know these people?!"
The words of the thug made me confuse. Is it really common to them that this diner should not be able to cook? I mean, their only problem is ingredients.
"What do you mean?"
I hope that there's isn't big about this matter. I really want to finish this visit immediately.
While trying to understand the situation, I helped Mryna to stand up before asking the thug once again.
"Can you enlighten me?" I asked.
The thug just smirked before declining my request. "Don't put your nose into other's business!"
They seem to be suspicious... They are hiding something from me. They even inspected my clothes before talking.
Are they wary of me? Because of the impression I give them?
This is really intriguing. I feel like I should interrogate them.
"Hey. I have my own business too. Care to explain what's the matter before I beat you up?"
If my intimidation doesn't work, then I guess I have no choice.
"Mryna, can you please-! What?"
I didn't finish my words after I received an impact from a knuckle. It didn't manage to push me down but it took my mask away. My mask is now removed and my face is exposed.
I don't have any other choice. My disguise is finally blown up. I have to silence these bastards.
"You're really annoying." I stated before responding a punch to him.
Just after my knuckles reached his face, he was threw out of the diner, pushing the other thugs at the back too.
"Can't you talk to me with a calm behavior? Did you think I can't answer your thug life?"
That's really unnecessary but it just spits out of my mouth.
I looked back to Mryna who was clearly away from us. That's good.
"Mryna, can you answer me? Why are they beating your father because you can cook?"
She hesitated at first then finally spoke up. Are these people really bothering her?
"It's because there's a rival restaurant of ours that doesn't want us to fight them. So as a result, our source of ingredients is cut."
What? Hah... so this is my quest. There's really something big behind this matter.
Just wait... I will fix this immediately.
"Can you please keep my face a secret?" I asked.
"Y-yes!" She answered, but I noticed that she blushed a little. Wait... is my appearance that appealing that it managed to blush this lady?
I need to see myself. I can't keep this as a thrilling matter to me.
Immediately, I found a mirror then checked myself.
Orange hair but a little darker than usual. My eyes are now lighter than the previous color, it is now fluorescent blue. The shape of my eyes seems to be slanted as well.
I... became more resemblance of my previous life's face! I am going back to that face?!
Wait... come down. This isn't a big matter.
'Tema, is there a way to get back my past life appearance?'
[There aren't ways to get back your past life appearance. Souls don't have faces but you can be resemblance a little.]
I see... so it was like that? Well, nothing to be bothered about. It's just an appearance. Okay...
Let's get back into the matter!
I took my mask then wore it back. Approaching the thugs, they moved back a little after I got near them.
"Who is your boss? I want to visit him."
"What?! W-who do you think you are?!"
I cracked my neck before stepping on his legs.
"You still have sinned against me. You want to lose this sword?" I slightly hit his crotch.
"Okay! Just don't damage my balls!"
They finally stood up then helped themselves to the ground.
People around us were still looking at us in surprise. I guess, I forgot about the natives near us.
"Mryna, I'm going back right away."
