After the celebrations ended, we all decided to log-off for now. Acorn decided to stay in the Fairy Country for a bit, and according to what I read from the chat that those four were sending me some time ago, they said they decided to settle down around the forest for now… for some reason. I feel like they'll try to convince me to make a guild and join their alliance for a while now.
And quite honestly, making a guild sounds tempting. I should really consult this with my friends though, I would also like to know if I can add NPC to the guild as official members.
But for now, as I took out the VR headset, I sighed in relief. I was quite tired, and quite honestly this entire one-night adventure ended being too long. Tomorrow I'll have to go to Elisa's house as well, so I need to take a good sleep for the moment. I'll leave doing anything else in the game for tomorrow, maybe.
I am quite relieved I finally ended that quest… Now, time to take a good and long nap.
"Well done there, you did great."
"Now, as you sleep, I'll temper your body a lil' bit, because you're way too weak in this world…"
"Oh? I never thought you had this talent…"
"Interesting, even this body is very compatible with me!"
"The dimensional cracks are getting wider… I wonder how long those gods will be able to keep this farse from the public of this world…
"Ultimately, a big disaster will eventually happen…"
"I have to prepare you well so you can be ready for that moment… Sleep well, Planta."
Suddenly, I woke up from the sound of the alarm. I had set it up to 9 AM, a nice time to wake up in the free week. Today we were going to… Elisa's house. I wonder how that rich girl's house will be. Will it be like those cliché manors that rich girls have in those shows you usually see? Or will she have a way more conventional home, I wonder?
Well, it depends in how extravagant that girl's parents are.
Although apparently, based in what my daughter had said, that girl's parents are never there and she often lives with her butler and her maidservants… Is she medieval ages nobility to have servants? I hope they're well paid at the very least.
At the end, I woke up and took a bath way more relaxedly and clear minded than before. Perhaps gaming and real life had been going rather well lately. I've had my time and I am slowly getting the hang of my life, a little bit, I guess. I don't feel as depressed as other times, and I guess I have begun looking forward to each day with more energy, without having to always pretend.
While making breakfast for my daughter, I saw her slowly crawl out of her cave, she seemed all sleepy. As always, she often likes to have breakfast before taking a bath.
"Go take a bath first this time, dear." I said.
"Eeehh… I want to eat…" She said.
"No, go take a bath first. Also when is your friend coming to pick us up?" I wondered.
"Err… Around 1 PM?" She wondered.
"Ah, there's a lot of time left! I guess I'll attend my new garden while we are at it." I said with a smile.
"Oh, that garden of yours… Let me help too then." She said.
"Yeah that garden- EH?!"
I suddenly heard something from my daughter, but I don't know if what I heard was for real.
"What?" She asked while raising an eyebrow.
"Y-You want to help me?" I asked.
"Yeah…" She said. "I mean, I kind of like plants a bit. I never thought about it but lately I've been seeing you getting attached to them. I want to help you out with your new hobby. Hobbies are nice to get the bad thoughts out of your mind and keep you busy doing something you enjoy" My daughter quickly gave me various reasons, as I was left slightly shocked.
"T-That's… amazing!" I quickly ran towards her and hugged her. "We'll buy tons of plants and make our garden as beautiful as we can imagine it! Okay? What plants do you like? I love Succulents! I'll buy a bunch of them!"
"I also like those… Though, can we get some cactuses as well?" She wondered. "Some with flowers."
"Ooh, I agree, cactuses are also quite beautiful." I said while nodding. "Then let's go shop at the Plant Store nearby!"
"Sure… After breakfast, that's it." She said while slowly walking to the bathroom half-asleep.
And like that, after she took a bath and we enjoyed breakfast together, we ran out of the house and walked across the streets. Quickly reaching the store where they sold all sorts of plants. It was just being opened.
Now that Spring was right around the corner, there were a lot of beautiful flowers and plants recently brought here. Apparently because of the changing temperatures of Canada, with harsh colds and warm springs and summers, we need hardy plants that can resist harsh changes in temperatures. Cactuses are very good at that, and succulents as well.
but I would also like some more conventional leafy plants with colorful flowers if possible.
"Welcome, welcome!" An old lady quickly greeted us. She was the owner of this old store for a long time, and the only employee as well. She was named Lady Lily.
"Hello Lady Lily! We are finally here to buy!" I said this time.
"Eh? Really?" She asked. "After many years of you passing through here always looking at the plants, I am glad you've finally decided to build a garden then!"
"Yeah, we want to buy tons of stuff, we need some tools and also rich soil, do you have them?" I asked.
"But of course! Let me be your guide then, Elayne… Oh, is this Elena? You've grown so much!"
