Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest-Novel

"No, never mind." Rose suddenly said. "Let's not try to get too personal here. We also have many secrets ourselves… Although we are wondering what just happened, it wouldn't be fair to ask you for that."

"Yeah, you've said enough with what you've revealed us." Albert sighed. "In this job, we always make sure not to pry too much on each other's secrets, there's always hundreds of them in each person's past."

"Phew, thank you. I don't really feel like explaining, but don't worry." I said. "It's nothing… too bad? If anything, it's a big plus!"

"I'm not too sure about that, but… I guess it makes sense, seeing how you were able to seal Hellberos." Said Albert. "I won't ask anything, but I'm already guessing what you might be."

"Then we're going, we need to report this to HQ. We'll tell them you're taking care of Gabriel." Rose said. "Hopefully we can use that excuse to enhance the security within the city, especially around your house's streets."

"Thank you, I really appreciate it." I nodded, feeling relieved.

"No worries, take care friend." Rose suddenly gave me a hug, giving me a kiss in my cheek, and then whispering to my ear. "If you want to tell me something more in private, let's chat in the phone."

"O-Okay." I nodded, giving her a head pat. "You're so cute~"

Rose was so small, and her cute little head was close, I couldn't resist patting it a bit, she was definitely a huggable vampire.

"I-I'm not cute!" She got angry and quickly walked out of the house. "Hey Albert! Hurry!"

"A-Ah, right." Albert nodded. "Call us if that Angel gets weird or murderous, we'll take care of it…"

"I-I don't know if I will, but I'll keep that in mind." I smiled a bit forcefully, as Albert walked out of the house to.

"PHEW…"

Both Mark and I ended sighing like that after everything, it was indeed a long and tiring day today as well! Why the hell so many things happened! I can't… Well, whatever.

Let's just see things positively. I am even stronger now, and I've got a potential… friend? That could help us survive even better, so that's alright.

"They're still sleeping, huh?" Mark wondered, glancing at Gabriel. "Do you trust them enough to leave them the house while we log-in?"

"Don't worry, they're good hearted. I can easily tell through my Magic." I smiled. "They're a sweet child, despite what they said about Gabriel. I think this Gabriel is different…"

"Maybe amnesia?" Wondered Mark.

"I think so. They didn't act like someone so old and with so much experience." I agreed. "Maybe… When it was demoted or something, it lost their memories to an extent?"

"We'll only be able to tell once they wake up though! Hey, Gabriel, enough sleeping." Mark boldly attempted to wake up an Angel.

"Hmm… Potato chips… Spicy please… Barbeque flavor… Soda… aahhh~" Gabriel suddenly flipped over and started drooling while sleeping carefreely, dreaming about junk food.

"W-What is he even talking about?" Mark was left speechless.

"Let's leave him be, let's go log-in, we need to do a lot of things." I said.

"Right… Hey Falco, Blackie, watch over Gabriel for now." Said Mark.

Animals seemed capable of innately seeing supernatural beings, both of our Familiars nodded, knowing that they could see them.

"CRAH!"

"Meow!"

"Good kids." 

Like that, we logged-in after calming Mark's concerns, and opened our eyes within Arcadia, in the middle of the busy Adventurer Guild Hall.

"And we're here." I nodded. "Anyways…"

Before I could even say another word, a ringing sound echoed in my head, as I checked the System, showing me I had several unread messages from Acorn.

"Ah, Acorn is messaging me?" I wondered. "Ah, he's saying we should all meet at Ambil's place. Looks like he already paid the debt!"

"He did?!" Mark wondered. 

"Yep! But there's a little problem…" I said. "Those annoying blacksmiths are constantly harassing him… They're threatening him and telling him to sell the place to them."

"What? We have to get there immediately… Let's stop those bastards." Mark said.

"Well said." I nodded.

We walked out of the Adventurer Guild and immediately flew using Wind Spirits towards Ambil's Smithy, landing right in front of the dispute going on.

Rita, Lily, and Jenny had already logged-in, and it seemed that Angelina and her friends were busy somewhere else in the city, they told me they went to quickly complete some Class Quests.

Acorn, Brisingra, and Nieve were there too, so I thought they would be able to deal with everything, but it seemed they had done very little, most likely because Ambil didn't wanted them to intervene.

And as of Rita, Lily, and Jenny… Well, I suppose they cannot really hurt the NPCs.

"I already told you I paid the debt! The paper is right here!" Ambil said angrily, confronting the three brothers, Adman, Cassim, and Helpes. "Get the fuck away from my place right now!"

"That you've already paid the debt including interests doesn't mean anything." Adman said with a furious and frustrated expression. "We've already talked with the Blacksmith Guild Association, and they already agree that you've not been working for them for years, if we simply say the word, your Blacksmith License will be revoked, and you will no longer be allowed to sell your products!"

"Also, you will lose your Shop License too, because the Merchant Guild is also cooperating with us." Cassim smiled with a cocky smirk.

"So quickly sell us your Smithy and leave it to us, old man… Unless you want even more problems?" Asked Helpes, laughing.

"Y-You…! I can't believe you would go so far! Is the reason of your lives to just ruin mine, you stupid brats?!" Ambil screamed. "I'll never give up my smithy! Now get away from here or I'll beat the shit out of you!" He threatened them with his hammer.

"Are you sure that threatening us will make the situation better?!" Adman asked threateningly. "You will lose more than just your forge, you'll lose your licenses, you will lose whatever prestige you have left! Everything!"

"What's going on in here?!"

I quickly stepped forwards, putting myself in front of Ambil.

"Is your job to harass elderly people, you bunch of thugs?!"

"You?!"

The three brothers glared at me angrily.
