Chapter 304

Niña was weakly sobbing while she was laying in her bed. She could not control her eyes from crying, as if her tear ducks were broken. She sniffed and tried to stop her sobbing, she should have stopped Mikael. In the next room, she could hear that Furrneka was crying too. In fact, Furrneka was far worse because she was destroying everything inside her room. 

'Sniff, as expected of that woman. She may try to hide her fangs but she will show her true nature when her Kampi is gone. No matter how much she tries to act civil, her instincts as a Beastmen will appear.'

Niña sobbed and rubbed her face, her cheeks were almost covered with her tears. 

*Bang!

She heard that Furrneka destroyed something. Niña shook her head and disappeared. She did not have an ounce of intention nor sympathy to help her. If Furrneka was suffering, then Niña was suffering too. She cast her Skill and decided to leave this place. Now that Mikael was not here, she did not have any reason to stay. 

'Not with a woman who has a mental breakdown and destroys every stuff around her. I swear, Furrneka may act like an angel but it will not change the fact that she's a black cat. Black cat brings misfortune.'

Niña found the closest Portal and entered it. She began killing the monsters just to forget her sadness. It was an Orange Portal and she didn't even sweat after she eradicated the whole Dungeon. 

When she came out, her mind became clearer and she could think straight again. Although her eyes were red and swelling, definitely because of crying, no tears came out now. 

She opened her phone and decided to spend her time browsing some stuff. Then, her searching brought her to a certain video. It was a video that she sent to Mikael when they became official. 

………
……
…

[What is this?]

Mikael narrowed his eyes while staring at the camera. 

[This is a camera, I want to video this memorable experience and show it to our friends and other people. I want to make it clear that I'm your girlfriend. It's better to show the label before someone tries to steal the product.]

[I see… I did not know that you're into this kind of stuff.]

He said while touching his chin and grinning at Niña. 

[What do you mean? I just want to record this moment…] Niña gasped and glared at Mikael.

[ Mikael, don't think of anything dirty!]

[Eh, I'm not thinking of anything dirty! I have an innocent mind. Much innocent than a baby.]

[Innocent your ass! Then why are you glancing at my legs, huh?]

[Come on, Niña. We're no stranger to love.]

He shrugged, trying to find leeway. 

[I swear, Mikael. I swear.] She said as her head shook in disappointment. 

[You know the rules and so do I.] Mikael peered and got closer to her, touching her hand. 

[… Don't continue, or I will-]

[I just want to tell you how I'm feeling.]

[Oh God, not the rickroll!]

[Gotta make you understand.] He kissed her neck and Niña shivered. She closed her eyes as Mikael showered her with kisses.

[Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around and desert you.] Niña bit her lip while Mikael was caressing her. 

[Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye. Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.]

………
……
…

Yes, it was a sex tape.

"Oh, God..."

Niña sobbed when she recalled that moment. They were young at that time. The only thing that she regretted was that she did not spend most of her time with Mikael and leveled up instead.

It was too late when she realized that Mikael was sleeping in a bed with his eyes shut, unknown when to wake up. She should have treasured her moments with him. 

………
……
…

"Wow… this is anticlimactic, you know. I thought I will be transported into a dreary forest or a chasm where I will fight aliens or something."

Mikael was holding a lemon juice while staring at the room. He was inside a wide hall where paintings were hanging on the walls. Not only that, there were vending machines around and he even found a soft sofa to sleep in. 

"Do you like to eat sir?"

A clown smiled at Mikael and gave him a menu for him to choose from. It was Hamlet, the assistant of the Game Master. He was the one who managed the Ranking Hall. Actually, Mikael was not surprised to meet him. His intuition was telling him that he would meet Hamlet again and it seemed that he was right. Although he did not expect to see him here. 

"Um, Sir Hamlet."

"Just call me Hamlet. You should be the one I should call as sir."

"Okay, Hamlet, can I ask what's going on here? You see, I thought I will have to fight monsters but I did not expect that I will be in a wide semi-classical hall staring at these unknown paintings."

"Don't worry, sir Mikael. You will know the answer, you just have to take your time and spend leisure in this humble hall. Everything is free so you don't have to be afraid to eat and drink anything you want."

Mikael sighed and shook his head. He was filled with tension when he entered the Portal but everything subsided when he realized that it was different from what he expected. The tension came out of his body and changed to stress. He was stressed as he did not know what was happening. He looked at the menu, then he glanced at Hamlet who was waiting for his choice.

"Fine, just give me a sinigang, a bowl of rice, and strong beer to make me tipsy. I want to release some stress. By the way, can you make sisig? If not, it's fine. Just give me peanuts and some crackers to chew on."

"Thank you, sir. We know how to cook sisig so you don't have to worry about it."

He bowed his head. 

"The order will take some time, I hope you will have a comfortable time here in our humble abode."

Mikael had a stiff smile and nodded. This was really different from what he expected.

[Yeah, it's December 24 in my country, and karaoke, Christmas jingles, and drunk people are all around... So for the people who are reading this, advanced Merry Christmas.]
