My Childhood Friends Are Trying To Kill Me

Chapter 94

Fortunately, in the morning, the rain stopped and the sun came up.

Lelia and Oscar left the hut early in the morning and set off.

Lelia, riding on her horse, sighed inwardly as Oscar naturally wrapped his hands around her waist.

Last night, Oscar held his face against her waist and hugged her until almost dawn.

Lelia pushed Oscar away only when the sound of the rain had subsided, and she stayed by his side until he fell asleep.

Was it because of that? 

Oscars attitude, wrapping his arms around Lelias waist, was now terribly natural.

Arent you going?

Oscars question as she pondered his actions came to her ears. Lelia clenched the reins, biting her lip.

***

A few days passed, and they were about to reach the vicinity of the Superion Territory.

In her mind, she wanted to run non-stop as there was not much distance left, but it was late at night to pass through the forest. It could take a long time if they got lost.

So tonight, they decided to stay at the small village inn before passing through the forest.

Wait here. Ill go and ask if they have a room.

Yes.

Lelia answered Oscars words, but she thought to herself, Why wouldnt there be rooms?

It was not a tourist town, although it was small. She wondered if there were any other guests besides them.

Lelia put her horse in the stable next to the inn building without any worries.

Then, as she exited her stable, Oscar, who was waiting for her, gave her a chin.

Go in.

Lelia nodded her head, and she followed his directions to the room.

If they rest here today and leave before dawn, they will arrive at the Superion Fortress by the afternoon.

When she thought of that, her heart pounded with excitement and joy.

The room was small, but it was clean and warm.

But once she entered the room, Oscar showed no sign of leaving.

? Lelia looked at Oscar with her puzzled eyes.

There is only one room.

Why?

I dont know.

Oscar responded as if it was not a problem, and Lelia nodded awkwardly.

Oscar knew her as a man, and he followed her like a leech as if he were watching all the time.

It was strange and felt like they were husband and wife. 

Lelia sighed deeply inside.

She was at a loss as to how to resolve her misunderstanding with her friends.

***

Like the last cabin, Lelia decided to sleep on the bed and Oscar would sleep on the sofa.

Inside the small room, on a small table lay the hot food prepared by the innkeeper.

As she ate the soup, Lelia stared at Oscar.

She suddenly got curious while eating.

By the way, why isnt he likeable?

Its been quite some time since they got here together, but the quest still hasnt popped up.

Compared to Kalix or Romeo, something was strange.

Lets check it out while were at it

Lelia looked into the right corner of her field of vision and opened the favorability window. She was going to check the favorability of Oscar.

• Would you like to check the favorability of , the subject of special favorability?(-)

Yes, Ill check it out.

She responded as she took a sip of water.

• Information cannot be read
• Information cannot be read
• Information cannot be read
• Information cannot be read
• Information cannot be read

Suddenly, messages popped up one after another, and a red light flashed like an emergency.

[What?]

Lelia froze in surprise at the screen she had never seen before.

At the same time, her eyes met with Oscar, who raised his head.

Oscars gaze subtly turned towards the space in front of Lelia.

Lelia felt like someone was grabbing her heart. She couldnt think of anything.

The goosebumps that appeared on her back spread all over her body.

As she looked at him nervously, Oscar slowly lowered his gaze and looked up again at Lelia.

Lelia avoided his eyes first, as if she were eating her food thoroughly.

You are using strange powers.

!!

Lelia felt her heart pounding and she looked back at him.

Since yesterday, when she met Oscar, her heart hadnt stopped pounding.

But this was another problem.

Oscar warned her with a low voice, I dont know what it is, but its dangerous. If you see Griffith again, youd better be careful in front of him.

Whoa, what are you talking about?

As Lelia pretended not to know, Oscar raised one corner of his lips and drank some cold water.

He then got up from his seat, placed one of his arms on the table, bent his back, and placed his face close to Lelias ear.

He whispered in her ear as if he was telling a secret.

Ill wash up first, so wait.

He used a subtle tone that felt somewhat secretive, but she was completely unaware of that. 

Its because she was so surprised by what Oscar said a moment ago.

Oscar grinned at her and went into the bathroom inside the room.

Ahh

As soon as his figure disappeared, Lelia put her palms on her heart and exhaled her breath.

Her heart was beating like crazy under the palm of her hand.

[What did you see?]

Feeling a bit anxious, Lelia called for Alchemy.

[Hey, Alchemy Are you sure your message window is not visible to others or anything like that?]

• The quest system will be adjusted due to the information that is not accessible =() Update will take some time.

[It doesnt matter now! Isnt Oscar not supposed to see the game window?]

• The system screen cannot be seen by anyone but the owner! ( _ )

[Then what did Oscar just see?]

• Cant confirm.

[Then check it out.]

• It is difficult to confirm.

This is real

Lelia bit her lip.

But since Oscar didnt say it specifically, he certainly must have not seen it.

Her heart continued pounding and she closed and opened her eyes a few times, when suddenly something she had never seen caught her eye.

It was the smallest Notice part of the menu.

It was the original menu, but after coming to another world, there was no reason to look at it.

But now that she saw it, there was a small red exclamation mark floating on it. It was something that didnt exist previously.

[What?]

What notice?

She clicked the notice in her anxious mind, and a notification window appeared.

• Doo-doo! (3) days later! Another world is scheduled for a large-scale update! Some patches from the original game are applicable. Would you like to agree to the update? ( -)-

• Check the details of the patch

Lelia blinked her eyes in disbelief.

That said, the game was going to be updated in the world of a previous life.

She felt weird.

The Alchemy Lottery game received a lot of love for its cute illustrations, but it was also a game that users complained about because of its boring and repetitive quests and in-game costs.

In addition, right before her death, she was very negligent in updating the game as the company was making a new game.

Even during holidays, there were no events, but only packages.

But is it a big update?

As a user who loved this game, her heart was pounding.

Moreover, there was no reason not to agree with some of the large-scale updates being applied here as well.

[Still, I dont know.]

Lelia decided to check the patch contents first.

Unlike the original game, the system used by the user is automatically transformed and maintained by special conditions.

• Original patches from another world have been partially applied, adjusted and optimized.
• Weekly and monthly packages are created.
• A special event is generated.
• A new dragon is added.
• New recipes, ingredients, and quests are added.
• New achievements are added.
• Security is enhanced.

Do you want to apply the patch?

(It is optimized by automatically adjusting some parts according to the world environment here.)

Lelia frowned as she looked at the contents.

[Dont you know the meaning of the word detail?]

She was a little annoyed by the simple explanation, but she was still very happy. 

Besides, the security would be strengthened.

Even though she was nervous, she had to do it.

Lelia pressed the consent button without hesitation.

[If new recipes are added, the Philosophers Stone will be farther away]

Still, if a package that could be beneficial appeared, it was not a loss.

It takes 100 billion shillings to collect 100 million crystals, but you can buy crystals at a cheaper price by using a discount package.

• You agree to the patch. (**) The massive update will be in 3 days!

As soon as the last notification window disappeared, she heard Oscar coming out of the bathroom.

[Get some clothes on!]

Lelia saw him undressing, and she wrinkled her eyebrows and passed by him pretending not to see him.

After locking the door tightly and taking a shower, she went onto the bed without making a sound.

The last night before arriving at the estate passed quietly.

***

At dawn the next day, Lelia and Oscar quickly rode to the estate.

In the distance, the edge of the tower of Superion Castle was visible. Lelias heart raced.

Her grandfather, her grandmother, her uncles, her aunt and Becky.

Her heart was pounding at the fact that she had a precious family waiting for her.

She was on the verge of passing the checkpoint at the border of the territory.

Lelia reiterated her words to the Oscars several times.

She told him not to call her Leo.

An annoyed look appeared on his face as she had repeated the same words so many times.

I understand, you can stop talking. I wont bother you if youre not thinking of running away from me.

This is my home, where can I run to?

Lelia responded timidly to Oscars insensitive answer.

There was a subtle anger on Oscars face when she said, Its my home, but she didnt see it. 

Lelia and Oscar passed the checkpoint safely.

Unlike the villages they had passed through before, there were not many priests in the Superion Territory.

It seemed to be a remote area from the capital and too far from the Holy Neutral Sector.

When she saw the scenery of the peaceful estate, her heart felt at ease.

She felt the tip of her nose turning hot for nothing, and she felt like she was about to cry.

She did so when she arrived in front of the lords castle.

Lelia missed seeing the gatekeeper who didnt recognise her.

I forgot I was dressed as a man, she thought.
