BROOTHERRR WAKE UP!!! Misumi yelled with all her might to wake her brother up, since she has been waking him up for the past 5 minutes and he wasn't budging at all.
I'm really sorry for what I'm about to do brother but you have to wake up now or else we won't be able to save up for our new home.
Misumi held a frying pan with both her hand and whacked her brother on his bottom with all her might
Side note: her current stats for strength is the following = Strength: 10.5 (Muscle: 1, Sturdiness: 20)
It took Misumi 1 full swing for her brother to wake up since from her stats, although she's currently at level 8 and her overall strength is at 10.5 her measly 1 stat in muscle made her swing not as much as powerful, but it did its job and made her brother wake up
Right after Zhenn was hit by the pan, he immediately stood at his bed half awake, held his arm covering his face like holding a none visible shield and tried to assess the situation. The dream Zhenn was having was the time they were attacked by a creature while they were sleeping in the house outside in the ruined world, that they were able to secure half of the way after the old home have was burned down, the attacker was a small two legged creature with impish features and blue skin dubbed as blue imp. The blue imp missed all the traps setup by the siblings that would make a loud sound and found the 2 sleeping at the attic of the house and immediately lunged at them, before they were attacked Misumi was alerted by the creaking sound the imp made on the attic floor and were able to warn and wake his brother up.
Their sense of danger was always up that's why in a moment notice they were able to wake up asap, as the imp lunged at them, Zhenn immediately pulled the sword out pf its scabbard and blocked the on-coming attack and was able to flung the small attacker to the other side of the wall then took his shield and readied himself for the next attack.
Zhenn almost got hit on his knee by another attempt by Misumi to fully wake him up but he was able to dodge this time and said..
I'm awake!, I'm awake so please stop trying to hit me!!!
Zhenn was finally able to wake up fully and was scared to death thinking when her sister got stronger in the near future and she tried to wake him up the same time. Somehow it made him shivers.
——— In the Guild ———
Breakfast in the guild pub was really nice but there's only a few menus available throughout the day since there are no morning and night cycle in here but luckily we used the same time management in the outside world and could tell when morning and night outside the dungeon.
So what are we doing for today sis?
Lets see what is currently available at the bulletin board.
Looking at the board, we notice the same post, just like yesterday and tempted to do the same thing but I took an additional post for a request of medium size cores for a change. We couldn't see Margarette in the reception window so we decided to fall in line.
Upon waiting in line a couple hunters suddenly cut through in-front of us and just stood there like nothing was wrong. My little sister Misumi was furious at what the person did and pulled his top shirt down and said
Misumi:
- Mister can you not see the line!? Or are the years getting to your head and need glasses soon"OLD MAN"!!!
Zhenn:
- Hahahaha!! ( laughed at Misumi's insult, couldn't helped it)
(Side note: The old man Misumi was insulting looked around mid 20's and he is bald)
Everyone heard what the little girl said to the bald man and tried to suppress their own laughter as well.
Look here kid you better shut your mouth if you know what is good for you!!
Hearing what the man told my little sister, I step right in-front of them and intervened
You do know she wouldn't be saying that stuff if you didn't cut in line, at least she knows what is right from wrong, how bout you get your shit together and act like your age..
Why you little…
His head is about to burst from anger and raised its hand ready to hit Zhenn then an arm suddenly hooked around his shoulders pressuring him to stop what he's currently doing and the instigator looked at the person with his menacing face and instantly got shut down from fear after he saw who placed his arm around his shoulder, the vice-guild master came to save the day.
Bro, bro, bro, who is the old man? Said by Misumi in a almost whisper voice
Missy I'm not an old man, Although I look like this, I'm just in my early forties (white hair and bald spot on top)
Misumi was still heard by the Vice-GM, showing that he was not as old as he looks!
The instigator was slipping away slowly and quietly but was held by the Vice-GM by his hand and said, "HEY YOU! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOUR GOING?"
"You haven't said sorry to the young miss here for your wrong doing" after saying this the Vice-GM winked at Misumi signalling her, that its her turn to say something.
That's right Mister, are you just going to walk away after all that and not feel sorry for harming this little miss mental health…
The Vice-GM looked at the instigator with expecting eyes and at that moment when the instigator was about to say he was sorry. A very grave commotion was happening right outside the guild building.
——— Outside the building ———
Move away!!!, Move away!!! A group of bloody individuals are currently being carried by a stretcher by some people who appears to have sustained a heavy damage and covered by wounds all over…
A-lot of people have gathered from the entrance to see the Vice-GM in his hero mode saving a little girl from a villain, until the crowd was pushed back by a bloody person that used his skill {shockwave} and pushed everyone from the front entrance to the front of the reception desk. Only the Vice-GM stood there and wasn't affected by the skill and was speechless from what he saw!…
——— Inside the building ———
Wooosh!!!! Waahh!! What is happening!!!
Everyone flew to the desk while Zhenn and Misumi was held by the Vice-GM who just stood there in-shock at what he just saw
Umm grandpa!! are you ok? Said by Misumi…
(Looks like it didn't fet through her head that he isn't an old man yet or he is teasing him even at this moment… no one knows…)
Dad!… thats the last word, the person by the door had said after she almost fell on the floor until the Vice-GM instantly leaped towards her and caught the lady by his arms..
Hey!, Hey!, Hey!, wake up!! {Heal!}, {Heal!}, {Heal!}, {Heal!}, {Heal!}…..
Vice-GM finally saw the difference in her skin color and could finally calm down. He then went outside the guild and saw her team in tatters!, then immediately casted {Area heal} 3 times and told everyone to bring all the wounded in the infirmary while he brought his daughter in as well..
——— Back to MC ———
After witnessing a bunch of people was being carried to the infirmary by the guild staff, Misumi can be seen trembling in fear then looked at her brother and said,
"you gotta be careful big brother, your my only family left in the world".
"Yeah I will, I promise!"
An hour after the commotion, the quest was registered and both went out again.
The time we took to finish the herb gathering and small core collection was done in, a little early than usual. (30 mins to be exact)
We submitted the quest and had a late lunch and then proceeded to collect the medium cores, a slightly bigger core than before that means the creature it was from is a bit bigger and more aggressive than the last.
Me and Misumi went passed the horned rabbit perimeter until we saw chubby looking kids 3 times the size of Misumi, green skin in color and armed with rock made weapon such as an axe and wooden bat.
Brother are we battling that!? .. Misumi's voice was a bit shaken from how she said it
The one we're facing now was one of the creature we saw outside the dungeon tower but this one was fat and short like a kid. The one outside was bulky and very tall, but both have the same features and the one outside was not holding any weapon but fights with their bare hands.
It still lingers in her memories what we have witnessed outside in the ruined world and it pushed her a bit to a point she was always on a lookout for any danger that would endanger our lives.
The scene we came across when traveling back to our hideout we accidentally witnessed few people in full gear battling a couple of this monstrosity and in the end was reaped in half like paper by the bulky creatures its very traumatizing since it may happen to us anytime.
- We gotta conquer our fear little sis, if we want to get stronger and have our peaceful life.
- I know what you mean brother, for that to happen we must increase our stat more and gain skills
- Yeah!, we need to train more.
- So for now chin up and look ahead, that creature in the distance is our stepping stone for better life!.
- Yes brother. (Misumi answered with certainty)
