The 5th lord A Majestic Return to the Tale!

Chapter 5

When discussing people doing quests together,

Melon-chan had to log out of the game. Initially bombarded with messages, now journalists are still contacting her, through the guild, through her friends, asking for interviews about the quest she played with Sagittarius.

It has come to this!

Inside Melon-chan's bedroom,

The mirrored door of the capsule wardrobe swings open. The girl with disheveled hair, looking as though she hasn't washed it in a couple of days, steps out wearing a little bear pajama set. Emerging from the cabinet, she looks at the bedroom clock and sees that it's exactly noon, so she walks with her fluffy hair to the dining room just like that.

"You look so grumpy. Has someone bullied you?" asked the mother, who was sitting and eating, raising the question first.

The father, who was sitting and reading the news, looked up at his daughter with an up-and-down glance, then just shook his head, feeling helpless to comfort her. "My dear Tangmo (her name means watermelon in Thai), even if you're at home, you shouldn't be like this, sweetheart," he said, even though his daughter had already graduated from college. Wearing little bear pajamas is one thing – that, he could accept. But a face unwashed, teeth not brushed, hair not combed – that was another matter.

Hearing this from their father, the mother quickly nudged him and sent a look that said their daughter was grown up now and not to meddle too much in her private life.

Meanwhile, Tangmo sat down at the table, and a robot came to serve lunch. As she ate, she didn't hide anything from her parents, recounting the whole saga of how she unintentionally completed a quest along with the lord of the great city of Chandra, and also discussed the complications that arose after the quest was announced.

The mother asked with concern, "Or are you considering canceling the character and starting anew?" Tangmo once canceled a character and used the same national ID to set up a new character and started playing from level 1 again.

Tangmo pouted slightly and then said, "Last time, it was a problem with the character's appearance." Last time, Tangmo didn't think it through before she set it up to resemble her real face, which then required her to avoid people who were trying to flirt with her.

The mother smiled proudly, "After all, you are the university's star, aren't you?" Come to think of it, if you really look at her, this utterly exhausted girl, with a bit of lipstick and powder, is really quite beautiful.

Tangmo forced a smile, "But now it's not like before. Back then, I had both real guys and posers chasing after me, whether I was gaming or working at the company. It was so chaotic I couldn't focus on work or games. So I decided to throw in the towel and start over, to change my appearance. But now... sigh," Tangmo sighed, "The problem isn't my appearance anymore, but that everyone knows my name already. If I want to change it, I have to submit a request to do so."

"Hmm..." The parents began to understand their child's problem. Nowadays, in-game names can be used for financial transactions and are linked between the virtual and real worlds, so the rules that have been established are very strict regarding names.

Tangmo sighed and laid down her fork and spoon, after finishing her meal and leaving her plate clean. "What's more, I've now obtained a rare skill [limit break] and even a rarer profession. It'd be a shame to start all over."

Upon hearing this, father's eyes lit up. Online gaming has been a part of human life for nearly half a century now. Therefore, no matter how old one is, parents can understand what their children are saying. "In that case, it shouldn't be canceled, right?" The name itself suggests it is rare, having only a few players who own it.
