A Returnee Wants To Play VRMMO 48 I Promise

"Err…" the squad captain was a little dumbfounded upon seeing the silver-haired man waving his hand in the air as if he wanted to be noticed. But he quickly fixed his expression and asked Nex solemnly, "Do you realize what you are saying? Unauthorized fighting inside the city is a serious crime."

"I know," Nex said with a calm smile and threw an object he took out of his inventory to the guard, "But I had to do it as I was on a mission."

The squad captain's eyes widened upon seeing the object and he quickly caught it and carefully examined it in order to prove its authenticity. When he finished, he didn't waste any more time and bowed slightly to Nex to everyone's shock.

"Greetings, esteemed guest," he said in a respectful tone and then added, "May I enquire about the details of what happened here?"

"You may," Nex nodded and then started to explain, "I am on a mission to deliver a letter to the Mayor and when I came here to meet my companions, these people came and started to slander us and even blocked our way to the city building. So without much choice, I had to fight them."

"I see," the squad captain nodded, and then pointed at Zac and his group with a cold gaze, "Arrest them for public disturbance and interfering in city business."

After the group was taken away, the squad captain bowed to Nex and said, "It has been taken care of. I can provide you an escort to the city building, but I must inform you that the Mayor left in order to an important meeting and will not be in the city building during the next hours."

"It's fine," Nex waved his hand, "I have other business I need to attend to, so I will come to deliver the letter after that, as the content of the letter isn't very important."

"I understand," the squad captain nodded and then bowed one last time, "Then I wish you a good day."

After the guard went away, Nex turned around and smiled at his group, who stared at him with a gaping mouth.

"Well then, now that we are all here, let's find someplace quiet."

♦♦♦

"So," Nex closed the door of the room he rented at an inn and turned around to the group, "How was playing the game until now?"

"Don't mess with us!" Jane glared at him while Elise and Eddie nodded, "How did you manage to convince the guard to let you go and even arrest that p.r.i.c.k and his group?"

"Oh, that?" Nex shrugged and pulled out the badge from earlier, "I saved a dwarf settlement from some demons, so their Head gave me this badge and a letter and told me to bring them to the Mayor of this city. So all I had to do is some acting in front of the guards and that's it."

"Forget that I asked," Jane sighed. She should have guessed that he would bring this kind of answer.

"Big Bro, you were so cool fighting those guys!" Eddie said with s.h.i.+ning eyes, "It was like you didn't need to use any effort!"

"Because I didn't," Nex smiled, "They are just normal players and they can't even use their powers properly, I still could defeat them easily, even if they are twice as many and twice as strong."

"Wow!"

"Teacher?" Elise then called Nex with a distressed face, "I hope you are not mad that I caused you to be enemies with Zac. I really didn't mean for that to happen, they just appeared out of nowhere when I was searching for you."

"Don't worry about that," Nex smiled, "If I, your Teacher won't protect you then who will?"

"Teacher, thank you!" Elise smiled widely and bowed in grat.i.tude, then she moved her gaze in a different direction and asked, "Teacher, I didn't manage to ask earlier, but who is this angel- I mean kid?"

"Oh, I forgot about that," Nex nodded and then indicated for Roland, who was close to him, to come, "Roland, meet Elise, she is my student."

Facing another beautiful lady and with a hunch about what was going to happen, judging from her heart-shaped eyes, Roland managed against all odds to gather enough courage to bow slightly and mutter, "h.e.l.lo Elise-"

"h.e.l.lo to you too, Roland!" but before he managed to finish his words, Elise already got to him and hugged him tightly, "Gos.h.!.+ You are so cute! I wish I could cuddle with you all day!"

'Just hang in there Roland,' Nex encouraged for the poor kid and when he was about to come and save him, he suddenly heard some quiet murmuring from Eddie that filled him with sweat.

"Finally, someone to share the burden with…"

'Let's pretend I didn't hear that…' Nex thought as he released Roland from the unwilling Elise and then quickly decided to change the subject to something that was on his mind for a while.

"Jane, why are you wearing that robe? Isn't the weather in this area is too hot to wear something like that?"

"Because all of you men are perverts!" Jane sighed in tiredness, but then her gaze turned mischievous, "But since you are here now, it is going to be your problem to deal with..."

As she said that, she removed the thick robe she wore and revealed the clothes she wore underneath.

"Ohh?" Nex raised his eyebrows and whistled, "h.e.l.lo, sister!"

The clothes she wore, were nun garments one would see in comics for more "mature" teens that were body-hugging enough to perfectly show her amazing body, with a slightly open part in the chest that revealed a bit of her ample bosom and revealed just the right amount of skin in the legs and arms to make anyone who looked soon start drooling.

In other words, she was the dream priestess of any young man!

"I was a fool to hope you would react more maturely," Jane blushed slightly and glared at him angrily, "Just because you never saw priestess clothing doesn't mean you boys need to react so immaturely!"

The appearance of the clothes wasn't that revealing or s.e.xy, or else she would never wear it in the first place, and especially not wear it in front of Eddie. And despite the way she looked, most of the credit goes to her body, yet when she walked around with those clothes on, a lot more guys came and bothered her than she was used to!

"You don't understand," Nex shook his head, "The reason men are so attracted to those clothes, is that they have always dreamed about meeting a real-life priestess! They saw it in comics, animated shows, and games, but never right in front of them and so grew to yearn to see one! So when you and your stupidity beautiful looks appeared before their eyes out of nowhere, of course, they would come! Because seeing you, is seeing a dream come true!"

"Just what the h.e.l.l are you saying!?" Jane blushed fiercely at his blunt words and charged at him with her wand ready to strike, "Didn't anyone teach you how to choose your words!? People could misunderstand!"

"Hey, what did I say wrong? I really think that it's the truth!" Nex dodged her attacks, which increased along with his direct words, with ease and turned his head to Elise in order to request help, "Elise, did I really say something that sounds wrong?"

"Hmph!" but Elise didn't answer him and instead turned her head away adorably, "Teacher is so bad! I fought Bosses and did Quests for a long time in order to get these cute warrior clothes and you instead give compliments just to Big Sister! I don't want to talk to you right now!"

'Compliments? I see now!' Nex realized his mistake and cursed internally, 'These d.a.m.n emotions are actually making me a dense fool!'

"Jane, I am sorry!" Nex grabbed her hands and stared at her eyes, "I didn't notice how I said things and I am sorry. But I want you to know I really think that you look extremely beautiful in those clothes, regardless of how what I said was interpreted."

At first, Jane tried to shake his hands off, but as she heard his words and saw the sincere look on his face, she felt her power leaving her and in the end, she lowered her head and spoke shyly, "I get it, so let go already!"

"Thank you," Nex smiled and let go of her hands, then he turned to Elise and walked up to her, he then went to kneel on one knee and stared at her with a kind smile as he took her lithe hand.

"Forgive me for not complimenting your charm before. oh, beautiful war maiden," Nex spoke and acted as a charming gentleman as he took the blus.h.i.+ng Elise's hand and kissed it, "At first, Your heroic and divine appearance made me think that you are a battle G.o.ddess, who descended from heaven and made me fear to get close and to say my heartfelt words. Will you ever forgive me?"

"En," being under such a direct "attack" Elise could only make a small sound and nod, before turning around and covering her face, revealing only a pair of beet-red ears.

"Good," Nex nodded and stood up with a smile, ignoring the two blus.h.i.+ng females, who couldn't bring themselves to stare in his direction, "It's time for me to tell you about Roland."

"Roland, don't worry!" Jane and Elise hugged Roland with tearful eyes, while they comforted him, "Big Sisters are here to help you with whatever you need!"

"Thank you…" Roland murmured shyly and lowered his head.

"Big Bro?" Eddie lifted his hand and asked, "Now that you brought Andy to the city, how are you going to make him a disciple of the Sword Saint? Isn't he one of the strongest people in the kingdom?"

"Oh, that?" Nex simply smiled, "I challenged him to a duel. If I win, then he would need to take Roland as his disciple and take care of him."

"What!?" hearing that, Jane, Eddie, and Elise became shocked and stared at Nex as if he was a fool, while Roland lowered his gaze with a face full of guilt.

"Are you out of your mind!?" Jane stared at Nex with an extremely furious face, "How the h.e.l.l did you even manage to make him agree to fight you!?"

"You know, normal stuff," Nex shrugged, "I provoked him and then told him that if he wins, then I would kill myself until I got back to level 0."

*Slap!*

"Are you kidding me?" Jane retracted her hand and spoke with a calm and quiet voice that was completely different from her normal "ferocious" character, "You are a Master Mode player. Not to mention that every injury will hurt like a real one, the feeling of death for Master Mode Players is said to be one of the most horrible sensations in the game. And yet you neglected telling us, your friends, and instead chose to fight this stupid duel and put yourself in suffering like that?"

"Jane…" Nex realized that he had made a mistake as he heard Jane's voice starting to break toward the end of her words, 'It seems that I am still not capable of treating the people close to me properly.'

"I know that you are worried about me, all of you," Nex spoke with an apologetic tone and bowed slightly, "And I am sorry I made you like that, I really am."

"But I will say this," Nex then lifted his gaze and stared at them with a sincere fire in his eyes.

"I promise I will win. And this is a promise I will never go back on."

Jane stared into his eyes for a few moments with a quiet and slightly blank expression, in the end, she sighed and put her hand on his chest, while keeping her gaze on him.

"Please do. Because I am terrified of what would happen if you don't."

"Don't worry," feeling the myriad emotions inside her, Nex nodded and then smiled, "I still have a lot of adventures to go on inside this game. And a mere Saint isn't going to stop me."
