[BONUS]

I ponder if it was a foul thought to inform them that I used to be the Lord of this home. Primarily based on the disbelief on their faces, I would say that it was.

Possibly it will be extra plausible if I mentioned it was Florin. It in all probability would make much more sense as a result of she was transported right here months earlier than us.

“How?!” Emi requested. I discovered her personally robust, and he or she gave off this aura of superiority.

“How did you handle to construct all this?”

How certainly?

“It have to be the Tokens,” mentioned Brago, and I used to be grateful for him saving my ass right here. “You recognize, the one we’ve got that would probably assist us to have our personal territory.”

“Or if we ally ourselves to a Kingdom,” added Megu. “It was talked about earlier than. And a few gamers kindly defined it to us.”

“Nonetheless . . . You will want numerous tokens to construct one thing like this in lower than a month,” Emi mentioned, and I gulped arduous when her piercing eyes probed me. “I heard that these tokens are ‘extraordinarily’ arduous to seek out.”

“. . .” I perceive that they have been curious, however should not they be pleasant to the one who helped them?

<I say we kill all of them and get no matter Tokens they’ve.>

All eyes directed at me have been pressuring, so I used to be making an attempt to formulate one other lie.

“Forgive us if we’ve got so many questions,” Brago mentioned. “However on this world, we’ve got to watch out with the individuals we belief.”

I may see that they have been alert, holding their weapons tightly. Did they assume that I might kill gamers to steal their tokens?

<You sort of did.>

It wasn’t me!

“I do know that every one of you’re suspicious,” I began, “however relaxation assured, I acquired these Tokens when that creature destroyed this village. Quite a lot of gamers died from the crossfire, and a few of them left tokens on the bottom. It wasn’t simply me who picked them up.”

<Good lie, Host. You are getting the dangle of it.>

Shut it!

The others checked out one another.

“Is he talking the reality?”

I heard Edgar ask, however he appeared to be an outcast seeing that nobody paid him any consideration.

“Gamers do drop gadgets on the bottom once they die typically,” mentioned Megu.

She was a lovely mature girl, and he or she was additionally very type.

<Is that your sort now, Host? Not dangerous. An skilled girl like her is extra interesting than your ex.>

I am unable to hear you.

“Aren’t tokens costly when offered, although?” requested Emi, nonetheless not satisfied about what I mentioned.

“It will depend on the grade,” I answered. “I solely have low-level ones right here working for me.”

And earlier than Emi may ask additional, I mentioned, “I do know that you do not belief me. However there’s solely one among me, and there is six of you. I am additionally a beginner such as you, so I do not assume I am the risk right here.”

The others checked out one another once more earlier than they shut their lips tight.

Sheryl was the one who broke the silence together with her greater than screeching voice, “Can we simply cease, pause, and discuss this another time? We should always get ourselves a shower first. Or have you ever forgotten that we seem like shit proper now? Even a corpse is best wanting than us.”

Ford sighed and agreed with what Sheryl mentioned, “She’s proper. To not point out that we have to do one thing about these rashes.”

I regarded away when Ford scratched his hand and blood rapidly poured out from his wound, as if his pores and skin was too mushy that the slightest contact may peel it off.

“There are two loos upstairs,” I mentioned and guided them upstairs.

“Can this illness be cured?” Sheryl requested worriedly.

I might be, too, if my face have been stuffed with puss-filled warts. “Hopefully. I’ve some medication for pores and skin illness, and I feel it will work?”

Emi frowned. “You assume?”

“Effectively . . . I haven’t got an opportunity to strive it on myself to see if it really works.”

“Can we apply it now?” Sheryl requested, her voice determined.

“I feel you must get the rain off your physique first,” I informed her.

​ “And the medication would solely be washed away if we apply it now, genius,” mocked Emi.

Sheryl solely shot her a sarcastic smile as she prolonged her center finger.

I miss conversing with people once more! I mentioned to myself. Thoughts the sarcasm.

Finally, the ladies all took a shower inside my room whereas the blokes took activates the widespread rest room above.

Alternatively, I used to be getting the medication from the cabinet and waited for them to reach in the lounge. Since I did not have any garments or towels, as a result of I did not have the machine or instruments to make them but, I wager they’d nonetheless be sporting the identical soiled garments as they’ve now.

Until, in fact, they occurred to get some garments from outlets.

<Or in the event that they killed some participant.>

I ignored it.

They appeared like good individuals. Brago and Ford appeared reliable. Emi was somewhat intimidating, however she was solely prudent and cautious. Sheryl was somewhat spoiled, however I feel she was solely performing her age. Megu was type, and Edgar . . . let’s not take into consideration him.

<Host is fooling his self once more~>

I sighed. It was already too late to cease this anyway. They have been already right here, and it was not like I may simply ignore them once they desperately wanted assist and shelter.

<You are doing job of ignoring the System, although~>

“. . .”

The women completed their baths first and got here out of the lavatory, descending the steps in nothing however their inside clothes as they carried their robes and leather-based armor in every hand.

I used to be certain that they have been all bare beneath these skinny cotton shirts and shorts. The sight of their stunning our bodies made me really feel a bit uncomfortable. Their pores and skin was so mushy and clean. Each inch was toned and well-maintained.

After which there was Megu. She had this aura round her that informed me that she was completely different from the remainder. Her physique was simply as enticing because the others, however hers was extra mature than them.
