Chapter 491 Going Back Home
"Take care dear, have a good day back in the big city, okay?" My mother hugged me tightly.
"Sure mom, I\'ll keep on contact with you." I said with a nod, giving her a kiss in her cheek.
"Papa\'s going to miss you! Uwaaah!" My father was in tears for some reason. He really wanted me to stay some more, but I just had to go back home.
"It\'s fine dad, calm down. I\'ll be back soon." I said, hugging him back.
"Have a safe trip Elayne." Mary said.
"Thank you Mary! I hope your husband can come next time!" I said.
"I\'ll bring him here no matter what. This time he couldn\'t come due to his job." She sighed.
"Bye auntie!"
"Have... shafe trip!"
Her two little twin daughters hugged me, they were very sweet.
"Yeah, take care sis!" Harry smiled back.
"Sure! Little brother, make sure to take care of the horsies." I said.
"Will you send me the recipes for the vegan food you made?" Henrietta asked.
"Of course dear, I\'ll send them soon." I nodded, giving her a hug.
Mark and Rita were also saying their goodbyes, and so my daughter and her friends. Everyone had grown very attached to my family, mostly because they\'re very friendly and nice.
"I-I\'ll definitely come back to visit everyone!" Elisa said with a smile.
"I may come again." Elena said, slightly sleepily.
"And if you don\'t want to I\'ll force you to." Anna said to my daughter.
"Thank you for all your hospitality." Mark said. "I\'ll make sure to repay all of this back in the future."
"Yeah, yeah~ Was nice meeting ya\'ll again!" Rita waved her hand.
Like that, on Elise\'s limousine and in Mark\'s car, we left the countryside and slowly made our way back to the city. Thankfully the road seemed safe, and there were no random monsters popping out in the middle of it.
However, just to make sure things were safe, we left many charms all over the roads, enchanting the roads and making them naturally repel monsters and hollows. Like that, it should be safer.
"Well, a lot happened this week." Mark sighed, as I was resting my head on his shoulder. "I even got myself a girlfriend, who would had known~"
"Yeah it was surely filled with surprises." I sighed. "Though... I can\'t believe we confessed each other while being all drunk..."
"It was cute, come on." He giggled a bit. "You were so lovely."
"I-Is that so?" I wondered. "Even drunk and havin a foul breath?"
"It wasn\'t bad, you smelled like roses." He said.
"I think that\'s just a side effect of my physique developing... My body is becoming half dryad and half human." I said, as my finger suddenly blossomed a small, pink-colored flower.
"Woah..." Mark was surprised. "So you\'re developing a Physique already, huh? Great Spirit, is this on you?"
"Yep! Want some? You\'re going to have to BEEEG For it!" Laughed the Great Spirit.
I reprimanded her, bonking her head.
"Hey! Don\'t be so rude with my cinnamon roll..." I roared.
"A-Ahahaha, I was joking! Joking! Geez..." She sighed, crossing her tiny arms.
"C-Cinnamon roll?" Mark asked, feeling embarrassed. "T-That\'s quite the name..."
"But you\'re so sweet, like a cinnamon roll." I giggled.
"Well, fine, I guess as long as it is only you who uses it." He said with a smile. "T-Though, don\'t o around saying it in the mini market..."
"I\'ll try~!" I laughed. "Anyways, about the physique..."
I started developing the Physique just this morning. It seems the Great Spirit did something here and there, leaving Runes and extracting Mana and Essence from Materials we had collected before and others I borrowed from my Inventory from Arcadia.
The Physique doesn\'t have a name yet, but it seems to be slowly transforming my body into a Spirit of Nature, or well, half spirit of nature and half human. It should enhance my physical strength by a lot, and also my speed, defenses, and other abilities.
I have to prepare for whatever other foes appear in the near future, having more strength, defense, and speed is a must. And giving one to Mark, Rita, and probably also Lily as she\'ll be joining us soon is a must as well.
"Hmmm~ Anyways, for you I\'ll need much more materials." Said the Great Spirit. "You\'re just BARELY able to get one. You\'re pretty strong already though, well Elayne can easily beat your ass with a punch..."
"H-Hey stop treating him like this!" I reprimanded her. "What has gotten into you?"
"I-I am a bit grumpy! I wanted you two to have segs!" She said angrily. "What\'s wrong with it?!"
"S-She\'s a bit nonsensical." Mark laughed nervously.
"Y-Yeah... So anyways, which materials does he needs?" I asked.
"Hmm, I think you have most of them in your inventory. And as for the rest, you should probably hunt some Fire Attribute Monsters in Arcadia, their materials should be enough." She said. "As for Rita, it\'s going to be a bit harder? Well you do have a decent amount of Dark and Shadow Attribute Materials, but you need at least a C Rank quality Magic Crystal, we should also seek that in Arcadia."
"I see, alright, noted." I nodded. "I guess we\'ll be hunting in Arcadia to grow stronger here now, seems fun."
"Yeah, also... Aren\'t you a World Boss in Arcadia?" He wondered.
"O-Oh, right..." I said while remembering it. "Well, being a World Boss hasn\'t done much, it\'s not like I\'m going to get attacked by players or something, they haven\'t really done anything-"
Ding! Ding! Ding!
However, I got a game notification in my phone\'s app, as I opened it, and found something...
[Your Territory is about to be invaded by the [Guild Alliance: Knights Order]!]
[Prepare for battle!]
"Eh?"
