Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest - Chapter 155

-----

"Well, I'll make something nice for you, Anna. Let me tell you that you're always welcomed here." I said to her, petting her head.

"Uwah… Lady Elayne, you're so nice with me…" She cried.

"It's fine! You're my daughter's best friend, you're like my second daughter, maybe. Hahaha! You can come eat lunch and dinner here all you want. Elena seems to never mind you. And she becomes more talkative when you're around as well." I said with a smile.

"Y-You're really an angel! Elena, your mom is an angel! A saint!" Anna cried half-jokingly.

"…I beat you." Elena said, concentrated in the game.

"Guhh… I hate this old game." Sighed Anna.

"Hahaha, you girls are always funny." I couldn't help but giggle at their shenanigans.

As I cooked, I overheard their cheerful and carefree conversation.

"Are we playing BNLO today?" Asked Anna.

"Yeah, of course. We have to grind some more materials for the thing Elisa wants to craft… After that we should arrive at the Forest of Beginnings." Said Elena.

"Yeah, took a while for that… I never thought moving through the landscape would take ages, I guess that place is really far away." Sighed Anna.

"Hm, the world is very big and even when moving through the skies, it takes a long time… Of course, it wouldn't had taken so long if we didn't had school and around three hours to be able to play a day, which is horrible… I want to end school to play all day." My daughter said.

W-Wait, they said they're coming to the Forest of Beginnings?!

Why are they coming there?!

After I tried to contact her before now she just comes to my home inside the game?!

Wait a minute, does she wants to do something there?

"That Planta is really reclusive, she's such a popular player but hasn't even interacted with anybody. Some say she hasn't even gone to the Market Place, not even once!" Anna said. "I had never seen a player so fixated in their starting zone before… What's special about that place anyways?"

"We have experienced the game for a while to know that this game is not like others. Even the starting zones might have tons of secrets. Also, she appears to be a Farmer, so she probably is raising herbs, vegetables and other things, maybe." Elena said.

"Huhh… I really don't get the appeal of a farmer, sounds so boring… But being a summoner is dope as hell!" Anna said happily.

"I prefer the path of the Bushido." My daughter said like a chunni.

S-So they really want to come see me. Well, that's going to be very awkward! But somehow, I can't wait! I guess my popularity did bring something nice to me. If I can met my daughter online, I can become her friend, talk to her as a friend instead of just a mother, and break that boundary that has made her so distant from me, so I can get to know her better. I know this is a roundabout method, but it feels nice nonetheless…

"Yeah, when we finally meet her, I'll ask her for a fight." Elena said, as she smirked a bit.

Eh? A fight?!

"You're really obsessed with that… She's just a newbie though!" Anna said.

"But she got so many cool Titles… I bet she's strong anyways. I want to see what she's capable of. I've never fought a Dryad, nor a Farmer. I wonder what she can pull out. As long as we use the Fair Fight System she should agree, right? Not like she'll lose anything… I could even pay her to fight me." Said Elena.

Eh?!

Is Elena a battle junkie maniac?!

D-Does she really wants to fight her mother that much?!

What do I do?! I can't just say "no" to her after she just came all the way to meet me… Do I accept?! Do I fight with my own daughter inside the game?

No… I don't want to think about it.

Ugh, well, it'll still be a while until then, so for now I should just do the quest I am doing in the game before worrying about anything else.

Yeah…

Though, now that I know about them coming to meet me, I don't know how I will ever react.

Maybe I should make myself a mask or something, I don't know if the System can slightly modify my appearance enough for my own daughter to not recognize me.

"It's ready girls, come eat."

While having lunch together, I decided to talk a bit about the game, pretending to not know much about it while also trying to dig more info from the girls.

"S-So how is the game going? Are you enjoying it, Elena?" I wondered.

"Hm… It's fun." Said Elena.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

"Maybe you should play it, Miss Elayne! Have you thought about it?" Asked Anna

"Eh?! M-Me? Why would I play it…" I said, averting my gaze from her for a bit.

"Anna don't suggest my mother to play the game… That would ruin everything if she's just sticking with us all the time…" Sighed Elena.

"Huh…? Don't be so mean with your mother, Elena…" I sighed.

"Elena, be more sensitive!" Anna angrily reprimanded my daughter.

"Ah… Sorry, I didn't meant to say that… out loud." Elena said, as she continued eating in silence.

Sigh, even though we have connected some more, she still says some pretty awful things sometimes… Maybe that's just a general thing for kids. They really find boring if their own boomer parents get involved into their games or something. Maybe it was even making her cringe or something. It is hard to be a parent with a daughter like that…

I wish I could be a cooler mother so she would appreciate me better and love me more. But even now, I am quite the loser as a person… I suppose it is understandable that she doesn't have many hopes about me, even less in a game that is mostly popular with younger people.

But… I'll show her that I am Planta later on, and I'll blow away her mind!

Just you wait, my daughter!
