Chapter 51: Return
“How co we can’t drop that item?” Remia asked in a soft voice.
She had been fighting monsters in the Corrupted Forest for a whole day together with her good friend. Alas, no monster dropped the epic item!
It left her saddened.
Remia clutched her clothes and looked down.
Alex patted her shoulder from behind, “Don’t bla yourself.”
He reassured her with his smile.
And as that worked better than ever, Remia raised her eyes and nodded faintly. Inwardly, she blad herself for being too naive as her body heated up.
After Remia subsided that uncontrollable warmth, she whispered to herself, ‘Have I fallen for Alex?’
Otherwise, there was no way she would react like that! Those thoughts swirled like a whirlpool within her mind.
anwhile, Alex continued, “We have already leveled up significantly. And we also know that a villain is lurking around. I know that it might be exhausting, but you should have a talk with your mother and tell her about that guy.”
Although Remia had been lost in her world, Alex’s words reached her. Particularly the villain who was suspicious.
Remia replied, “I will tell mother about him. She shouldn’t hide anything from , so I will tell you if she does know sothing. We will fight that guy again, right?”
To her inquiry, Alex nodded.
He wouldn’t reply differently. After all, that guy proved to be a strong and skillful individual with a bright future ahead of him. If such a villain lurked around in the forest fairies’ lands, Alex could only hunt him further!
He had beco close with this place already. His good friend wouldn’t be able to sleep safely if that villain continued his activities here.
Therefore, the only answer was [Yes!].
Since they were done for today, Remia took off her battle equipnt. She threw it into her inventory, then, using the sa system, she equipped her casual clothes.
Alex did the sa as his equipnt drew too much attention.
Remia sighed, “I still regret it… We should’ve looked for an epic item first…”
From the side, Alex shook his head. Knowing that this matter would burden Remia for so ti, Alex contemplated inwardly.
He then ca out with goods words that conveyed his genuine feelings, “If we postponed that important talk, you wouldn’t have been able to tell your true feelings. In fact, you probably would’ve held back in a different environnt and ti.
But since we had that talk straight after the battle, we beca closer. So you know, Remia… If the situation required to lose a few more items, even the legendary items, I still would’ve chosen to abandon them just to have that honest talk with you,” he smiled broadly.
“You’re cheating…” Remia pouted; her cheeks flared up.
Alex chuckled, “You have been pouting a lot today.”
“Do I look bad when I pout?” Remia asked seriously.
For a mont, Alex blinked as he had rarely heard such a seriousness, “No. You look cuter.”
“Okay,” Remia turned her eyes to the side, no longer probing further.
On her face, a bright smile spread. That kind of smile would tell everyone around her that she was fully content.

After safely returning from the Corrupted Forest, Alex and Remia bid farewell to each other.
It was already a night, so Alex carved the scenery into his heart, then logged out. He did his evening routine back ho and spent around half an hour watching TV with his father.
He then went asleep.
The next day, Alex logged in.
It was ti to execute his plan!
“I will sell items from the Corrupted Forest first,” Alex stretched in his Tree House, then left the house in a good mood.
Alex exchanged greetings with surrounding forest fairies on his way toward the market street. It was important to build a good relationship with your neighbors, and Alex also didn’t want to be an outsider since he had his own house here.
Because of his kind heart and manners, Alex learned exciting information from one of the forest fairies’ ladies.
“ and Remia a couple?” Alex repeated the lady’s words.
A well-endowed fairy grinned, “That’s the rumor. Is it true?”
Her eyes sparkled as she asked this question. Obviously, she had revealed those neighborhood rumors to him because she had been overly curious.
And since Alex was alone, she had approached him and bluntly asked.
Alex chuckled, “I have bad news for you, Miss.”
“Ah! Stop! Don’t tell anything!” The lady covered her ears, “At least our princess started showing more of herself! It was painful to see her covering her sweet smile behind a hood!”
Alex nodded, “I noticed it as well. I also have good news… But since you don’t want to hear them, I will take my leave.” he sighed and turned around.
The lady recorded his last words, however, “Good news? Tell !” She extended her hand, trying to stop Alex.
Alas, he sped up and left the lady with a teasing smile.
She crossed her arms and sighed, “This youth! I will pester him next ti.”
Alex’s relationship with the forest fairies increased significantly.
He was close with neighbors, sold his stuff here, which helped their economy, and he made the princess reveal more of herself. No, the new guest made their princess smile differently; her smile was much sweeter.
“It sucks that I can’t add Remia to my friend list… I should be able to use the ticket to return to the checkpoint, though,” Alex checked his inventory.
His next move was to go to the closest human city. He had already bought presents for everyone except Schnee. He needed to get so sexy pajamas for her, then he would be able to return to the Deathwill Castle.
After all this ti, Alex planned to at least return for one day. Since he had a checkpoint in his Tree House, Alex decided it was a perfect ti.
He bought all he needed, then used one of his exclusive items.
[You have returned to the Deathwill Castle.]
