After meeting with Sofia, our way to the entrance was very quick. She said that she already knew the layout, as she has already cleared this dungeon before.
On our way to the entrance, I managed to level up my summoning job to level 10. It's all probably thanks to Akemi defeating all those monsters. Though, I'm not sure how much EXP I gain from each defeated monster, as I haven't really read about it. But I'm no fighter in the first place, so I really don't mind if my level is actually quite low.
As we exited the dungeon, we saw plenty of people fully geared up. They were showing the flag of Tia's country, so they must belong be their army.
The moment they noticed us, Sofia casually walked up to them and told them that their princess, Tia, was fine. After that she beckoned us to follow her were her parents where, which was inside a tent.
The tent they were in was huge! It was big as an apartment for 4 people. The moment we walked in, Tia dashed forwards her mother and gave her a big hug. Her mother was overjoyed seeing her daughter again. Even her father, the king of the country, was bawling.
Annette was also in the tent and gave me a hug while softly sobbing. She must have been really worried when I got whisked away with Tia. All is well, if it ends well, right?
"...Tauro, I will be heading out real quick. I will be back in a bit. I need to have a talk with a friend of mine. And also another certain individual. In the meantime, stay with Akemi and Annette, okay?"
"Mm."
Sofia softly smiled while patting my head while Annette was trying to regain her composure back. After a few minutes after she left, Annette finally calmed down and asked me who Akemi was.
"She is a [Greater Angelic Warrior], and is my first successful summon!"
I said all excited with sparkling eyes.
"She summoned it when a [Blue Ogre] entered the [Safe Zone]. She was really powerful!"
"Mm!"
Tia and I was really proud of Akemi, even though we went trough something really scary. If it wasn't for Akemi, we wouldn't be standing here right now. Akemi got a bit red and started fidgeting while we were praising her.
"An angelic warrior? And a greater one at that... Wait, did you just say a [Blue Ogre]? And it also walked into the safe zone?!"
Annette was stunned when she saw my first summon, it was probably her first time seeing one. But when we mentioned the blue ogre, and that it walked into the safe zone, she got a bit pale. She calmed down after we told her that Akemi had beaten it. But after we told her about the 4 more blue ogres that we encountered much later on, she nearly passed out.
~***~
"...Tauro, It's time to wake up."
"Mm. 5 more minutes~"
"...Come on now. Make sure to brush your teeth, before putting them away. Once done, I will carry the boxes, okay?"
"Fwuaa~... Mm. Okay."
After the whole ordeal yesterday, we finally headed home after Sofia came back. She told me to log out, since we will be moving out the very next morning. I got quite shocked that not only are we moving out the very next day, I'm also transferring to a new school. I thought actions such as these takes awhile.
I headed to the bathroom and brushed my teeth, and then put them away like Sofia told me. She said that the movers were arriving within the next hour, so we had to get ready. But why so early in the morning though? The sun has barely even risen over the horizon.
Once the movers arrived and put everything in the truck, which wasn't much, Sofia told me to get ready since a taxi would arrive shortly. After getting ready, she locked the door to the house, and we then entered the taxi, heading to our new destination.
I was still very tired from waking up very early in the morning, and that I didn't have time to eat any breakfast.
"Onee-chan, when will we arrive? *Yawns*"
"...It will take awhile until we arrive. So you can take a nap, Tauro."
Sofia said while giving me a headpat.
"Mm."
I leaned against Sofia's shoulder, and not long after, I fell asleep.
In the dream, I saw a large flowerbed, filled with multitude of colourful flowers. It was quite beautiful.
<There you are, Tauronaya. Looking at the flowers again?>
Tauronaya? It feels like I have heard that name before... Is that my name? And this colourful flowerbed, haven't I been here before?
I looked at the woman who spoke to me, but for some reason, I couldn't see her face. But, I somehow felt safe around her. Why is that? And, who is she?
<------, is Sofiana coming today?>
I couldn't recall her name, yet I asked the woman in front of me. And who is Sofiana? Did I mean Sofia?
<Yes. She just arrived at the [Pavilion]. If you want to greet her, you should head there Tauronaya.>
She said while patting my head. I nodded and dashed over to the pavilion. And not long after, I found her.
<Sofiana!>
<...Hey there, Tauronaya. You are the only one that greets me with such a big smile.>
Sofiana said while giving me a hug.
<Ehehe~>
<...Your mother told me to watch over you today. So, what do you want to do today?>
<Let's go to the [Sakura View] together!>
<...Alright. Shall we hold hands?>
<Mm!>
As we walked to the [Sakura View] together, Sofiana softly smiled.
<...You are the only one in this realm that isn't afraid of me, Tauronaya. Well, if we exclude your mother of course.>
<Sofiana isn't scary...>
I said, while pouting.
After walking for awhile we arrived to the sakura view, it was quite beautiful sight. Imagine seeing sakura trees as far as your eyes could see. And if you look behind the sea of sakura trees, you could also see the beautiful waterfalls. It was quite the sight.
But before I could enjoy this view to the fullest, Sofiana gave a headpat while saying "It's about time to wake up, Tauronaya".
And just like that, my wonderful dream came to an end.
"Make sure to brush your teeth, before putting them away." this makes it sound that Tauro has to put her teeth away after brushing them
Quite frankly I'm persuaded Sofianna is really scary.
maybe she the god of war
@MadHatter2121 or goddess of ice
Thanks for the chappie
, and hopefully you recovered well.
Wait, what is going on in this situation? Something weird just happened... I thought Tauro was a grown man playing a vr mmorpg. Why does it sound like he has turned back into a child? something weird just happened... I thought tauro was only a child in the game? Does this mean that the game is more then just a game? but another reality or something that he swaps into? I am really freaking confused about this situation...
Bruh have you not read the first few chapters of this novel at all? It is explicitly said that he did turn back into a child in real life. Though I guess you could miss it while skimming the chapter.
@CeltyTheSurveyor Actually maybe not explicitly said, but he was in a child's body while not in the vr mmorpg, so I'd assume it's pretty easy to guess.
@CeltyTheSurveyor the way the story was conveyed made it sound like he was maybe having memory issues when swapping between real life and vr. What I was getting out of it was that he would revert to being a male adult In real life, but turn to the mind and body of a child in the game. I did read all of it, but for some reason the part that said he became a child in real life was vague to the point to where I missed that part entirely, or maybe there was not much of that part of the story that I could take notice of.
But good to know now.
@UppishTheReaper If I remember correctly, he turned into a she and a young she at that, and in Sofia's monologue, she complains that "She" (I assume her mother and a god) also reverted her mental age as well.
@Luthean good to know! I wonder if there will be a point where he completely shifts over to the other world and ends up with his soul on the fantasy side of his reality. Just a theory though.
@UppishTheReaper My theory so far is that they are originally from this 'game' world. A few stories like that where they connect to a game which turns out to be another reality, so could be along those lines.
Makes me wonder if you actually read the first chapter, it clearly says that HE woke up as a SHE before even logging to the game the first time. Even the chapter title makes it quite clear :D not sure how you can even mistake that, but oh well
@Verinuarmu Its been a long time since the first chapter was uploaded and I have followed the story ever since chapter 1 first popped up so I guess I forgot that part of the story at some point. That and I have read crap tons of novels on here so maybe memory between stories got things mixed up.
@Luthean <Sofiana was pretty mad at me you know. But to think that he would actually regress your age in a permanent state. That perverted idiot... *sigh*> in Chapter seven it says that HE regressed her age, so its not the mother who did it
and i think that in some chapter it was said that "he" prolly didnt think that making her younger would also regress her (tauro) mental age, so its definitely a male god or something that did it, atleast that what think 
@Verinuarmu Yeh, Like what @UppishTheReaper said, been a long while since those chapters came out, it's a wonder I remember some of the plot points since I can sometimes forget major stuff if it's been too long. Other than that, with so many stories out on this website and others with poor grammar and spelling mistakes, you learn to auto-correct while reading and I might've done that when I read the chapters before.
It's been implied she's from the world of the MMO, and reverting to herself from that world. So, in the real world she's matching it.
