Chapter 45: Fear
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
Those kinds of screams were pretty common in the Aqua Park. Particularly if they came straight from the big slide! No one felt bothered by Remia's squealing, and some even chuckled as they imagined her expression.
Alex had it the best, though.
Remia's big ass sank into his crotch. And as she screamed for his help, Alex used his other free hand to hold onto her even tighter. Therefore, during this whole slide, Remia was wholly on him.
Alex sometimes touched her chest and other private parts!
At last, the slide threw them onto the pool!
BANG!
In tandem, both their heads popped out of the water.
Alex had a broad smile, "It was the best slide! I was in a few Aqua Parks in my world, but the forest fairies easily top all of them!"
Remia didn't reply.
"Remia?" Alex whispered; his hands were still on her.
The lady stood absentminded, but then, her eyes twinkled, "I can do it alone…"
Alex whistled, "Go for it."
Remia turned around and thanked him for his help. For a moment, Alex felt like it should be him thanking her for a treat. But then, he just smiled and nodded.
After Remia climbed up the big slide, her voice echoed throughout Aqua Park again.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
This time, it sounded like she tamed her fear thoroughly. She enjoyed the slide and made others proud! All forest fairies gave a nod of approval for their princess.
And then, Alex and Remia tried other attractions.
Here, Alex gathered a crowd of kids and their parents.
"Cat bro! You are the king of surfing!"
"Cat bro! You are the shark in disguise!"
"Cat bro! Teach me!"
Although Alex wasn't a pro, he had a fair share of experience. His parents took him to a few Aqua Parks worldwide. Therefore, he became like a teacher for young people, and he even taught some older ladies too.
His catman disguise helped Alex become closer with all demi-humans.
But from afar, the elven queen's forces saw through Alex. That was solely due to the level gap between him and them.
If Alex was at the same level, then perhaps Schnee's charm skill would hide his real self from those forest fairies.
They didn't have harbor ill-intent, though.
After Remia told her mother about the hungry demons and how she was one of their objectives, the queen secretly sent a few of her people to protect her daughter.
Remia was one of those NPCs who had restarted their level. She leveled up slowly and was low level, just like Alex.
And now that the Deathwill's Acquaintances were marked by the mysterious hungry demons, the queen issued 24/7 protection for her daughter, even outside their tribe's grounds!
"I can't keep up with you, Alex!" Remia chuckled.
She dropped onto the sunbed.
Alex passed her a cold drink, "Blame my stats."
"I blame your stats!" Remia chuckled.
They spent some rest on sunbeds. After a lot of fun in Aqua Park, Remia took Alex for dinner. Everyone lived close to nature in her forest, meaning that eating meat and fish was no good.
But regardless of that, Alex was highly impressed by their cuisine and enjoyed each of them.
Then, Remia showed a few important places. She talked about the history of her people and her ancestors' grand feats.
Although they weren't the strongest demi-humans, their forest techniques made them quite unapproachable. They were also highly ranked in the demi-humans tournament ranking.
They spent a whole day together.
While Alex and Remia had their time, the queen of the forest fairies also had a peculiar meeting.
Before her, one of the servants stood with contorted expression, "We have confirmed another two victims… That player is too clever and sneaky!"
The queen, Yumia, closed her eyes and whispered back, "Villain."
"Villain?" the servant asked.
"It became a trend for players to identify themselves as heroes or villains. The latter doesn't look at us like living beings. For them, we are the same as the cursed monsters," Yumia explained.
But even though there were villains, the queen knew that players were important.
Thus, Yumia opened her tribe for a few players.
That was simply because she knew that those players would overcome them at some point. Even now, some players were already past level twenty.
Their leveling up was fast, too fast. Therefore, hesitation would lead them to doom.
Since the players she had opened her tribe to were nice, Yumia switched the topic back to the villain.
"That player invaded our grounds unnoticed. We also can't keep track of him… He also just kills civilians," the queen pondered.
Hearing about the crimes, the servant clenched his hands and gnashed his teeth, "Damn vile…"
"If he just wanted to kill ordinary people for EXP like players do, he shouldn't have been hunting in human territories," Yumia inferred.
Her servant raised his voice, "Humans are humans! He obviously doesn't want to get on their bad side!"
The queen shook her head, "The key point is that we can't find him. He knows our grounds too well… He is a player with a unique class or the quest to wreak havoc in our lands. If I am correct, then he must be searching for something."
Unlike her servant, Yumia kept her head calm. She looked at their predicament from various angles, reaching a probable conclusion.
Her servant dropped onto his knees and asked, "But his moves make no sense. Is there something we aren't aware of, my queen?"
"…" Yumia didn't answer him.
For the first time, fear crept onto her beautiful face.
"See you tomorrow, Alex!" Remia waved her hand back at Alex.
It was already night, and the same charming scenery invaded the forest.
Alex waved back, "Yeah. Tomorrow should be the most exciting one."
Remia crossed her arms beneath her chest and pouted, "Don't be a battle maniac. They have no charm!"
"Haha! I am itching for some leveling up, though. That's why I look forward a lot to tomorrow. And you will be with me, so that's even better."
After those words, Remia smiled widely, "That's better! I will try my new skills tomorrow, so I look forward to it too. Good night."
"Good night," Alex whispered and turned around.
Since monsters appeared all over the world, the forest fairies naturally were forced to deal with them. For a player, it was nothing more but a good experience! But for residents, it was an exhausting and troublesome curse.
There were some low-level monsters that Alex and Remia could face together.
Therefore, Remia and Alex's time would continue tomorrow.
And that was what Alex was glad for. Their relationship was already good, and he could nurture it further. He wanted to build enough trust to invite Remia to his Deathwill Castle and turn the thorny gardens into beautiful scenery.
"I hope we will stumble upon a boss. It will be a valuable experience for myself and the battle spirit," Alex whispered before sleeping.
Of course, he would log out and sleep in his world.
But he couldn't help but lie down on the bed and spend some time here. He thought about battle spirit, then closed his eyes.
He logged out with a smile, looking toward tomorrow.
