Chapter 123: The Queen's Little Temper
"Oh!! My dear Doug, great Barbarian Warrior, it's rare that you didn't receive Bul-Kathos' (the greatest leader in Barbarian history; it is said that the Immortal King's Set, Bul-Kathos' Set, and the Stone of Jordan are all equipment he forged) Summon?!"
Outside Vita Village, which was covered in Corpses, a lively scene was unfolding. Hundreds of Warriors, like farmers during harvest, were happily stepping through the 'wheat field' made of Blood and bones covering the ground, harvesting Loot within it. Of course, all of this had to be handed over.
And inside, I discovered two familiar Figures, and couldn't help but immediately excitedly tease.
"My dear Wu, the great Lord Bul-Kathos said he prefers us to offer the Enemy's Blood and Soul, not ourselves." The energetic Doug, completely disregarding the mud and dirty blood on his Body, swinging the braided pigtail behind his Brain, said loudly, his bald Brain and face, covered in tattoos, were filled with joy and Excitement.
"Oh!! My God, Wu, I've never seen so much stuff. Look, it's everywhere! God, it's like the ground is covered in Gold."
The great Barbarian Warrior Doug, in the next moment, had become an excited scavenger.
"..."
"Wu, you really worked hard this time. Leave these small Matters to us."
Gus, who seemed to be cut from the same mold as Doug, patted my shoulder from the side. No matter when, he always played the role of a silent and wise character.
"That's right, Wu, you should get some good Rest."
Druv, whose face and Body were also covered in blood and mud, emerged from who knows where. He said with a chuckle, echoing the others.
"Are you sure it's okay?"
"As you can see, what's left is just some cleanup work. How could we dare trouble the two great heroes again? You two should have a good get-together." Druv's words were Heartwarming.
"You should still go quickly. If Lady Sharna gets angry later, the few of us will be miserable..."
Lars added, urging me on. After speaking, everyone unconsciously touched their Buttocks and let out a few dry chuckles with lingering fear.
Hmph. I thought you were really thinking of me. I swept my Vision over them with a disdainful look and strode onto Light Snow .
"Then, I'll leave the cleanup work to you." I left this sentence far behind.
"Hey, where's Older Sister?"
I just went back to say hello, but when I turned back, Sister Sharna was already nowhere to be found.
"Whoosh whoosh... Awoo..."
Light Snow sniffed with her nose and lightly called out a few times, indicating a direction not far away. Oh oh, as expected of Light Snow , she always helps a lot at critical moments. I quickly urged Light Snow to chase after her. Why did she leave without saying anything? Could she be angry? Thinking of Older Sister's unpredictable temper, I also felt a headache coming on.
Relying on Light Snow 's Speed, before long, in the dim and hazy sky ahead, a graceful Figure running in the fine rain had already appeared in my line of sight.
"Older Sister..."
I urged Light Snow to chase after her in one go. The Feeling of reuniting after a long separation made me exceptionally excited.
"..."
On that face, dreamlike and ethereal like an Elf Race's, was at this moment covered with an Expression colder than snow.
"Older Sister..."
"..."
Her Speed increased a bit more.
As expected, she was angry. Looking at that tightly wrinkled pretty face, I thought, feeling both amused and annoyed.
It's okay. Watch my Family Love Offensive. Wu-style Snow Melting Ice Breaking Pounce.
I smiled cunningly, urged Light Snow to maintain a speed alongside her, then with a fish-like leap, directly jumped over from Light Snow 's back.
"Ah..."
Sharna was caught off guard. If she were to just dodge like this, then he would directly pounce onto the Grassland and fall flat on his face.
"Thump..."
The two Figures merged together, then both slipped and fell onto the muddy Grassland.
"Why are you still like a child who won't grow up?"
Originally, Sharna wanted to be angry for a while longer and make this Younger Brother who ignored her Existence sad for a while longer. Seeing that her Presence was easily dissolved, at this moment, the pair of sea-blue eyes looking at me were wide and round.
"Hehe, I knew Older Sister wouldn't abandon me." I said with a slightly mischievous smile.
Sharna had that kind of tough-outside-soft-inside personality. Having lacked warmth and care since childhood, she was most vulnerable to this kind of warm Family Love Offensive. Of course, this was limited to me, and perhaps Kashya. If it were someone else pouncing over, it would already be gentle enough if she didn't shove an Exploding Arrow into your mouth.
"Hmph, you should still hurry back and continue catching up with your good Brothers and Comrades, and exchange Feelings! There's nothing good to say here for Older Sister." Sharna finished speaking with a snort, but the hands holding me tightened.
As expected, this was the reason.
"Older Sister, after all, I'm a Special Action Team Member of Vita Village. Leaving after the Battle by just patting my Buttocks and walking away doesn't seem quite right, does it!"
"Very... very good. So the Status of this Special Action Team Member is very important to you, huh? Hmph hmph, your beard hasn't even hardened yet, but your sense of mission is quite large. It seems I, this Older Sister, no longer have any Status..."
As soon as I spoke, Sharna was so angry that she even turned her Head away.
"Heaven and Earth bear witness, no Matter how big the Matter, it's not bigger than you, Older Sister."
I blinked my eyes, and a red alarm signal immediately went off in my Heart. Long-term Experience told me that Sister Sharna's extremely rare 'little woman' side had finally appeared. At this time, I absolutely couldn't contradict her, otherwise Older Sister would be very angry, and the consequences would be severe.
"Really?"
Sharna suddenly turned her Head back, and with the hands holding me, gently placed them on my face. Our eyes met. I could even feel her lovely breath gently brushing against my lips.
"Of course it's true."
"More important than those Comrades, Friends, and the like?"
"Of course. How can they compare to you, Older Sister?" I kicked Lars and the others into the bottomless Abyss with one foot.
"More important than that mission of being a Special Action Team Member?"
"Of course. Making Older Sister happy is my greatest mission." With a wave of my hand, I threw Akara's instructions to the back of my mind.
"More important than the entire Vita Village?"
"Of course. The entire Rogue Encampment can't compare to a single hair on Older Sister!" I said solemnly.
"More important than your Sha La?" Sharna bit her lip and continued to ask.
"Mm, of course, Older Sister is more important." I replied without a moment's Pause. Ah, my beloved Sha La. Please forgive me, for the sake of your lovely husband's Buttocks.
"Mm-hmm, only like this are you my obedient and lovely Younger Brother."
In her sea-blue eyes, a trace of a satisfied smile finally flashed. Older Sister gently rubbed my face. Then, with those soft and cool lips, she gently kissed my forehead.
An intimate embrace, an ambiguous kiss, but in the Hearts of the two of us, there wasn't a trace of romantic intent. I could feel that Sharna in my arms at this moment was like a dry Desert, greedily absorbing the nourishment of Rainwater from my Body. How could the strong her tolerate her Status in the Heart of her only, most important Younger Brother being surpassed by others? That was a very pure Feelings/Emotions, without any color. Mm. I guess it's like this...
"Forget it. Seeing as you could immediately catch up, I'll forgive you this time."
Sharna stood up from the Grassland and shook her wet long hair, which was as brilliant as the Sun.
"Older Sister suddenly left in a hurry. Could there be some other Matter?"
I suddenly thought, if according to Older Sister's personality, if there wasn't something important, she absolutely wouldn't do such a boring Matter of leaving just because she was angry. The situation I estimated was most likely to occur should have been her rushing straight over, twisting my mouth, and demanding an explanation!
"Mm, I still need to hurry to Thomas Village immediately. That damned Old Drunkard always just talks big but leaves the dirty and tiring work for others."
Sister Sharna said as expected. Old Drunkard? Could she be talking about Kashya? Probably. Besides her in the Rogue Encampment, who else could make Older Sister willingly run around like this?
"Thomas Village? I remember it's a small Village dozens of kilometers south of Vita Village. Like Vita Village, it was also attacked by Monsters." I thought about the Information I had heard from Druv and continued.
"That's right. The Mini-Boss Monster over at Thomas Village, the Cold Raven, that's my Quest this time."
"Without further ado, let's Depart."
Hearing this critical News, I didn't say anything more. At such a critical moment, arriving a moment earlier could potentially save one more life.
"Come, hurry and get on."
I leaped onto Light Snow 's back and at the same time extended my hand to Sharna. With Sister Sharna's weight, Light Snow should still be able to bear it.
Sharna looked at Light Snow with a curious Vision, then looked at my outstretched right hand. Suddenly lightly laughing, she grabbed my palm, using the force for a graceful aerial flip. Then her Figure suddenly paused in Mid-air, and surprisingly, she sat steadily behind me, in a posture of holding me.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go!"
"Mm, Older Sister, this posture doesn't seem quite right, does it? Can you sit in front?" I involuntarily urged Light Snow forward, while saying with a mournful face, "If someone else saw this, my Image would be completely ruined."
"Hmph hmph, a Younger Brother should act like a Younger Brother. If you want to hug me, your Older Sister, you're still a hundred years too early!" Sharna said with a smug smile from behind, but the hands holding me tightened even more. To lighten Light Snow 's burden, she had already taken off the Scale Mail on her Body while in Mid-air. At this moment, she was only wearing a thin, form-fitting Leather Armor on her Body. You know, there's no such fashionable thing as underwear in the Diablo World. It's really killing me.
