CHAPTER 8

[AUTHOR'S P.O.V]

Heric had just finished with his mission and was now arriving at the Poffice Guild to sell the diamonds and fur from the monster he fought.

He smiled as he handed the items to Angela, computed his earnings, and paid him his prize. The boy thanked her, but he was given a letter before departing.

"For us?"

"Yes," she said, nodding.

"From who?" he inquired, gently grabbing the letter from her and scanning it.

It had a very opulent appearance. The letter appeared to be made of gold paper and smelled heavenly, as if someone had sprayed perfume on it.

"From the palace," she responded.

"F-from the palace?! The royal family?!" he exclaimed, stunned.

Receiving a letter from the Royal Family is extremely unusual, and everyone in the kingdom hopes to receive one! To netizens, it felt like being successfully recognized.

Angela nodded softly, "Yes."

"Are we in trouble?" Heric wondered.

"If you were, they would have sent the guards to exile you instead of writing you a letter."

He hastily thanked her before running out the door. He couldn't wait to tell his friends about the good news.

[YUMI'S P.O.V]

I was in my kitchen, peacefully preparing snacks for the boys and myself with Mingyu. If you consider hamburgers and French fries to be snacks, the snacks we considered are more like our brunch.

The others were out collecting fruits and seasonings, so we wouldn't have to go to the market. The herbs and fruits we needed were in season, and picking a bunch for ourselves was substantially cheaper. We don't have to spend any money because it's free!

They returned minutes later, and Mingyu and I had our food cooked and ready at the same moment!

The boys returned with a basket full of green mangoes, peaches, berries, mushrooms, and herbs that they had dug up. Every single fruit appeared to be ripe and tasty. It was the ideal day for making cold smoothies and fruit salads for later snacking.

Mingyu was doubtful of the mushrooms they brought back as we scanned these fruits and herbs. He inspected them rapidly, not daring to touch one, and winced in revulsion at their true nature.

He inquired, "Where did you get these mushrooms?"

"In the forest where we got the other ingredients, where else?" Jihoon responded.

"Well, these mushrooms you brought home are poisonous," he informed him.

I went over to investigate the mushrooms they brought back with my familiar, and Art quickly recognized what kind of mushrooms they were, and she shrieked in fear.

These mushrooms appear to be quite poisonous. Any living being can be killed with a single bite. Those in charge of these mushrooms cleansed their hands completely right away, not wanting to die in a horrible way in the game.

We have our delicious brunch in the backyard after we tidy up the fruits and seasonings in a container. The sun was blazing, yet it was not at all humid. The searing sun was mingled with a cool breeze, which was refreshing on our skin thanks to the wind.

All of a sudden, Heric ran inside the house and reached the living room in haste, surprising everyone within.

"Yumi!" he exclaimed. When I turned around and saw him out of breath, I figured he had run for his life back to the cabin once his mission was completed. But I was perplexed by why he did it.
