Chapter 67: Date or investigation? [1]

Everything needs a break from time to time, which goes to show that this Obnoxious Author needed some rest. but you know how fate is a pain in my ass? I can’t even imagine myself having my dream vacation, this happened when all of the players were given a shocking announcement. it looks like law No.321 Hiatus decree the act of postponing the trials to balance out the needed rest for the players, this wasn’t supposed to happen so early in the story. well, it did because of Castillo’s doing

[System: A Hiatus decree has been placed by the Game masters, the trials will be postponed after 15 days had passed]

“Kanagawa San I – I’m sorry that I can’t return your feelings, my heart has fallen for Reiko,” Iori walked away after he gave back the letter she had given that contained her emotions, leaving her alone on the coldest night of Tokyo

Unhappy, she was her emotion was hidden in the rain that engulfed her surroundings, even the sky was saddened by her defeat. while Iori leaves the cold and rainy night with Reiko in his arms, as the two of them continue to walk away from the city that contains an awful lot of their depressing memories that transpired. the tears that were dropped by every rival that lost, the face of their friend which was broken by their relationship, and lastly the broken smile of the most cheerful person they ever encountered. with the ending being a total trash Morris threw the book that slammed in the wall in his room before he yells at the top of his lungs

“Are you fucking kidding me!!? Kanagawa Sana, I was rooting for you, that one girl that was filled with misfortune out of every heroine. the loss of her parents at an early age, and the bullying that traumatized her to the point where she tried to kill herself. lastly that unwavering big and glowing smile was the only thing that kept her living, why are the girls with short hair the ones to suffer. forget it why did I even try reading this book that they featured in the System shop,” Morris burned the last volume of the Elegant Rose Of Tokyo not long after he placed the others with the same fate as the last volume

[I never thought I’d say this, but I agree with your actions. that the main character should burn in hell the fact that the only girl that always been on his side. wasn’t the one he ultimately chose, in the end]

[System: Elegant Rose Of Tokyo

Review: this fucking novel is a piece of shit, the author made a ton of depressing scenes and the ending wasn’t very satisfying at all

Confirmed]

[System: You’ve given a 1-star review on the featured book Elegant Rose Of Tokyo]

“I’m never going to binge-read another book after I touch some grass,” Morris exits his room and made his way to the kitchen that was overflowing with a ton of people

“Glad that you could make it, we were just about to have breakfast. would you like to join us, Mr. Morris?” Blake was placing everyone’s plate on the table after they bought some food from the city

‘I forgot that they came over here after they were notified of the Hiatus decree, I wonder what Hugo’s team has planned, will they ask Jin for a training session? I think that will happen at some point, meanwhile, I’ll try and find the author of that book, I might break his or her fingers for writing that horrible ending,’

His plans took a turn for the worst once he was invited by Esther and Kyo to join them in solving some commissions that they received from a random Npc. he tried to refuse but as soon as he sees the reward for the success he’s attitude took a 60-degree turn and agreed with their proposal. after they fill their stomachs they entered a Guildhall that was filled with players in search of a commission to do as their reward and exp were increased by 3 three times. Kishar saw this as an opportune moment to give the players some compensation for his sudden pause in the trials

[Commission: find where the mysterious noise that’s bothering the civilian in the western district

Difficulty: E

Reward: 2400 tokens, 30000 Exp

Failure: after five days had passed, the Commission will label you as unworthy and relinquish the commission]

‘The Quadrex gave me 13k Exp once I’ve killed it, even if the Exp would be split among the three of us. it wouldn’t matter as long as I get closer to reaching LVL 24, but I’m getting a little bit skeptical about something,’

“Boss, I need to do something at the moment, why don’t you and Esther patrol the Western district I’ll catch up, once I’m done,” Kyo left the Guildhall in a hurry while the two of them were left alone

“Morris, hurry up or we’re going to miss out on the fun,” Esther grabbed him in his right arm and dragged him to the Western district patrolling

[Morris, I think the time and place for your patrol is a little strange isn’t it?]

“Esther, can I ask you something?”

“What is it,” Esther stopped for a moment to turn her haze in his direction waiting for his action before they make their move

“Are you sure we can find a clue in this area?” He pointed out the fact that they entered a Cafe that gives off a calm and soothing atmosphere, the strangest part was that he can sense Kyo min soo in his vicinity with the help of his Chi

‘Patrolling at the earliest hour possible, entering a Cafe with just the two of us, lastly, Kyo’s sudden disappearance which leaves the two of us alone in this cozy-looking place that has a discount price for couples. do you think I’m born yesterday I might be wrong to assume her actions, but it’s too much for a coincidence, also the fact that Esther hasn’t been releasing my hand within her own. fuck I did turn myself into her fated one,’

‘I remember writing the part where Hugo was supposed to save her in the Goblin camp which ultimately leads her to become a loyal comrade. I assumed that she fell in love with him due to him saving her at her lowest point in life, oh no, there was that time she had a fever and Kyo was already capable of subjugating our Commissions by himself. I remember it like it was yesterday, she was having a nightmare, and I calmed her down the last thing she saw once she opens her eyes was the sight of being pampered along with my soothing voice that gave her peace. now that I think about it my concerns made me forget that I was inside a teenage version of my body. you stupid shitty author, you’re not as stupid as a rom-com harem protagonist but you sure did trigger a fucking flag,’

[System: the forgotten sage is using its authority to communicate with the player through his mind]

[They’re not fooling anyone, still, we have a lot of time in our hands how about we spend them correctly]

‘Sigh, guess it won’t harm our commission but seeing as the three of us are not even trying to patrol. Sun, Moon I need you to check the area for any sounds thats peculiar also can you gather some intel from the Npc that might chatter about this incident,’

“You can count on us Owner,” Sun replied to his orders and the two of them left his body to patrol their area

“Morris, this is a part of investigating, we can’t just walk around aimlessly I heard that the Cafe owner was one of the few that was unlucky enough to encounter the screams,”

“So what’s your plan on getting close to her, for us to extract our clue?” Esther pauses for a second before she hands out a menu that says if they eat a lot of the meals they’ll have a chance to be attended by the owner for any suggestions

‘What the hell all of today’s menu has the word couples and the fact that it’s enough for two people to share,’

[Isn’t this a great opportunity to eat new and exotic food, you always cook unhealthy cuisines]

‘What did you say about my burgers!!?’

[What are we talking about again? in any case this whole thing is their ploy or is it an investigation you must not forget to achieve success. were talking about a Commission that has a ton of value accompanied by a ton of failed tries recorded from the previous players]

His deity escaped from being muted after stepping into a landmine that would’ve infuriated Morris if he wasn’t careful, leaving him to exit the scene

[System: the forgotten sage has logged out, there are no current deities that are watching your every move the system will automatically close your broadcasting]
