Chapter 11

△5 Feladia 1656

[Morning] time phase.

The yellow bitter sunlight emerged from the horizon, no it isn't, it was a holographic light projector. The warm wind breeze, danced with the grass. Here in the middle of the grassy field, we laid. I felt a gentle touch fondled my hair.

"Good morning, sleepy heads."

"Good...morning, hoahh. What will we do again ?" I yawned and stretching my body.

"Let's hunt for...food ! sorry I just can't get enough, besides if we eat too much, we still not gaining weight."

"It's ordinary for me, back in real world I felt this too.. eat many things, but..can't gain weight."

"I really wished like yours..come on let's get up !" "What's the meal for today, missy ?"

"Ehm... let me check." I waved a gesture, the holographic screen pop up, and then I opened the recipe.

[Honey roasted pollo] 30 mins cooking, requires 1 jar honey√ 5 [Pollo meat]

I bought that jar of honey from a girl who tamed a grizzly bear, yeah I wished I could do that. I showed the holographic menu to Sho. "We got this.."

"Honey roasted pollo ?" Sho raised his eyebrows "What is pollo ?" after he said that a chick approached, it has yellow fur and fiery red tail. "Hello there, isn't this cute ?" he raised the animal in his palm, the animal's name [baby pollo] shown from above the health bar. "Hey I think I found one." just then a big shadow covered him. A red feather fell by, [Mother pollo], he gulped. "Why we're always messed up with mothers ?" he groaned.

"Simply, common sense of mothers, they always worried about their child." I said. The chick in Sho's palm flew to its mother's back.

"Squaaawk" It roared, I sheathed my sword, and Sho prepared his axes. Beside it's health bar a symbol of fire shown, it has fire elemental magic. It opened it's mouth, a fiery sphere formed, slowly it grew bigger, it released the fire in one blow. Sho's arms coated in brown aura, he raised his hand, a rock wall formed and blocked the fire sphere.

"Are you alright ?" Sho asked. His hand still supporting the wall.

"Yeah, it's okay, I have a fire elemental magic." I snapped my palm and a flicker of fire danced. "Immune shield !" a slice of thin red aura coated me.

"Lucky you," he smirked. "Look out, she's coming !" The bird slide fast toward us. Sho's hand supported the wall strongly, I stepped right.

"Slicing style ! beaming sword !" my sword glowed in deep blue color, I swinged it, and cut the birds wing. A blue arch from the attack leaved a bloody trail, as the wing dropped, serial of feathers scattered. The feather changed into fire ashes.

[Pollo meat] *1, [Feather] *6 stored into your storage.

The fire ashes touched the grass nearby, it also touched my skin, flame burned but the breeze slowly stop it. The bird almost lost it's stability, it stumbled left to the ground, and cooing weakly. I felt quilty, then I stepped near the bird, touched its head. It got up, the chick that on its mother's back flew away. The brid saw me furiously. A flame ignited from its head, It striked Sho, but just in time he build an earth shield. He stomp his foot, the shield has gone. The bird ready to strike again, I tried to hold it back, tamed it.

"Whooaa.. slowly, I don't meant to hurt you." I said, the birdie still angered to me.

"What are you trying to do ? tamed it ?" I nodded "Are you crazy, not all animal in here can't be tamed."

"But I wanna have a pet like that little girl." I groaned.

"She was a NPC (non player character) ! now get away !" he prepared his two axes, the bird rushed to him with a speed of wind. "Crosswised axes." his axes formed like a 'x' letter, and swinged it powerfully, a streak of brown aura colored the axes. Within a swing the bird stumbled down, it disappeared into pixel dusts.

[Pollo meat] *30 stored into your storage.

[Broken keys] 1st piece stored into your storage.

"Wha..what is it ?" my jaw dropped when I saw that message, no way, it couldn't be.. I waved a gesture to access the storage menu. The [Broken keys] piece was copper made, it's form was a key handle, it also have a strange pattern.

"[Broken keys] ? impossible.." Sho's mouth gaped. "It hold a dangerous responsibility, if you had this.." he paused "Maybe you'll died, or faced that creepy hacker. For the sake of your life, give it to someone else." he hold my hand and closed it.

"But [Broken keys] can't be fall to the wrong hands, I think it's now my job to open it, I promise to take this path..clear the game." I put the folded hand into my chest.

"You can't do this alone, you're just a girl." he shook his head, then touched my shoulder. "Leave it to someone else."

"What's the problem ? if I could then why not ?"

"If you keep insisted, I'll come with you, I promise I'll go anywhere for you." he sighed. He raised his pinkie "pinkie promise ?"

I laughed a little "okay, promise.." we were twisting our finger. Then a loud rumble voice came out, Sho touched his belly.

"Hey could you shut up ? that's embarrassing." he talked to his belly."Hehe sorry these thing made me hungry, come on let's cook a meal." he said.

I opened the menu, and put out the [Cooking utensils], his stomach growled. "Let this chef do the cook." I smiled.
