Chapter 150 150 – Going On A Mission



In the end, I didn't return that night.

I wanted to talk with Vivian and the others, but it wasn't possible with my state of mind at that time. I felt bad for Garcia because I wasn't there for her, but I wasn't in the mood for that kind of activity either.

Running away from my past was something I decided by myself after I lost everything. Living like an empty husk, devoid of any problems.

I only attacked Ghost Marionette out of anger and boredom. This bonus chapter was something I appreciated after I lived in this world for a while. It allowed me to recover.

But… my wound was opened once again, and the ghost from the past showed up to chase me.

So I became a bit frustrated and decided to freshen myself. How?

"Die!"

Swoosh!

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ A vertical flying slash from my <Sword Hand> flew toward a large boulder and sliced it cleanly into two. A loud rumbling sound echoed inside the forest as it fell to the side. The ground cracked due to its size and weight, and the force kicked dust into the air.

I watched it happen as I continued to swing my hand, sending dozens of flying slashes toward the now half-boulder, turning them into small cubes. Some of them got destroyed as they fell to the ground and created a small hill.

The area was filled with debris from me dicing boulders and trees. My body was full of sweat, drenching my clothes and pants.

After letting out a satisfied sigh, I finally calmed myself down. I could always use [Calm Mind] to stabilize my mind, but I chose not to do that to confront this problem by myself.

And I had collected my mind enough to find the problem in my thinking. I was wrong. 

What was the problem if a ghost from the past chased after me? What I wanted and needed to do wouldn't change the slightest bit.

"Still…"

I looked around my surrounding area. The destruction I caused from trying to calm down was… massive. It extended to a few hundred meters ahead and created a new clearing in the middle of the forest.

Slicking my drenched hair back with my hand, I smiled dryly.

"I need to fix this."

Taking out a normal iron sword from my inventory, I lowered my stance and inhaled deeply, preparing my skill derived from Lv 7 <Swordsmanship>.

"<Mountain Cleaver>"

A power that created a blue cleave followed my upward swing. The ground gouged out deeply, flying to the surrounding and creating a trench. They rained from the sky, burying the scene of destruction I caused last night and leaving a small hill.

The height was only around 3 meters high, but it could still be called a hill. The appearance was a bit sad, though, filled with brown color and some stones.

"Let's make it a bit better."

I took out a greenish-blue potion from my inventory, and I put in the iron sword. The container was a round glass tube, and I threw it toward the top of the hill.

It landed with a crashing sound, and the liquid inside spilled out. It happened instantly like magic.

The brown ground turned green as the grass grew on the surface, filling the space with a diameter of 500 meters from the place the potion landed.

Many kinds of flowers that could only be found in Horizon Online also filled the area. It was a potion created by my alchemist friend, along with many dubious ones. Its effect was to create a garden in any kind of environment.

And it worked wonderfully. The barren hill I created was now covered in green grass and many beautiful flowers.

It might attract some attention from people in Academy City, but well, I could just settle it with just a few words from me.

Satisfied, I nodded and walked away. I had decided on something last night after thinking alone for a while.

Running away from my past was something I wouldn't do. Forgetting about it was probably enough, but I wouldn't run away.

Now that someone who knew me from the past appeared, I would try to settle it directly. The mission from Sana this time was perfect as a reason for me to move together with Isabelle, trying to know her better so I knew what I should do to her.

Besides trying to understand Isabelle and her past better, I wanted to know how she knew about me. The name Isabelle rang no bell in my memories, and her appearance was foreign to me. But it didn't change the fact I was connected to her at one point in Horizon Online.

"And I need to ask her where she got that pendant from."

That pendant had an enhancement that destroyed it once the player died. So the fact Isabelle had that pendant meant the owner gave it to her. And I knew Tristan wasn't the kind of person who gave her pendant to someone else without any reason.

Meaning Isabelle was connected to Tristan in one way or another.

"If that's the case, I need to know what their relationship is. Depending on the answer, I need to change my attitude a little bit around her."

It was a bit tricky, but nothing was impossible.

"First, though. Let's stop by the mansion and tell Garcia about this."

I felt really bad that I wasn't there for her. So at least I could tell her about it so she could convey it to the others.

"Welcome back, Sir Arthur."

The smiling Garcia greeted me as I entered my room through the window. She was standing near my bed in her sexy nun outfit, her crotch drenched by her juice and her face flushed red from arousal.

Her breath was also heavy from the excitement. Even with her hands behind her back, I noticed she was holding a dildo I gave her; probably, she had just masturbated and decided to enter my room to greet me after she felt my presence.

Looking at her like that, my feelings got a bit jumbled once again. Still, I smiled at her.

"I am back, Garcia." I replied with a smile.

Truly, I was blessed in this world. At first I just wanted to have fun, but my feelings for them also grew stronger. Even now, I wanted to hug Garcia and push her to the bed, satisfying her.

I knew she held back even now just by standing in front of me. Her instinct as half-Succubus must've taken over already, but she tried to hold back as she also considered my consent.

But…

I approached her and took off my shirt. Her eyes shone in expectation, but she looked disappointed when I took out another shirt from my inventory and wore it. Too bad, I only changed because I was sweaty.

And I continued.

"I might need to go to another city for a few days again. Can you tell Eliza and Vivian so they won't need to worry about me?"

Getting close to Vivian was important, but giving her time was also important. This problem with Isabelle was currently also more important to me than having sex with Vivian.

I wouldn't be able to calm myself down if my curiosity wasn't satisfied yet.

"Again, Sir Arthur?" Garcia asked, her voice was filled with disappointment and sadness. "How long will you leave this time?"

"Probably for 7 days or more," I said, turning to her. "So I am thinking."

Garcia tilted her head slightly, looking at me curiously.

"Why don't you come with me this time? I might need your ability to help me."

As I said that, Garcia's expression brightened, and she nodded repeatedly.

"Yes!"

I might need Garcia's ability to deal with the 1st event in Lima Port City. If I brought her along, I could also help with her sexual desire.

Besides… I also had another goal of bringing the perverted nun.

'I don't want to go there just with Isabelle alone. Garcia would help to ease the awkwardness between me and Isabelle.'
