Chapter 175 This Is Quite Sus
[Elayne: Maybe one day I could play it! I am a bit rusty about games… Well, I am going to have dinner and probably will go to sleep for now, I\'m tired… Goodnight, Mark! What are you having for dinner by the way?]
[Mark: Oh, I cooked something this time. I used the recipe you gave me and made some chop suey. It ended being very delicious. Thanks for teaching me a way to make such an easy and delicious meal, it was really helpful to be honest. I\'m quite lazy…]
[Elayne: That\'s good! I\'m glad you liked it, it is very tasty and got a lot of veggies, so it is also quite healthy. Anyways, goodnight~]
[Mark: Goodnight Elayne, take care.]
"Phew…"
I sighed in relief, it was a rather intense chat after all the stuff I did in-game, to be honest.
Poor Mark, he really got it hard with that family problem. I don\'t know how I would had reacted if my parents would had forced a marriage on me.
But for now, I guess I have to get my priorities.
I quickly decided to serve dinner and knocked the door of my daughter, but I got no response.
"Elena?"
I sent her a message and heard the vibration of her phone over her bed but I didn\'t heard her yet.
"Elena? Are you there? If you stay playing for too long without logging out you\'ll get a headache!"
I quickly decided to open the door, but because it was closed from the inside, I couldn\'t.
However! I am not the owner of this house without having keys for the doors.
I quickly went to grab a key and tried to open the door, however, I heard Elena and Anna talking and then heard someone running to the door.
"Your mother is about to open the door, just open it!"
"But I…"
"Leave that for later…"
"Okay, mom, we are going…"
My daughter quickly opened the door, as she greeted me with a slightly red face.
I found Anna in the bed also looking quite red.
Did they had fever?
"Girls where you sleeping?" I asked.
"Y-Yeah…" Said my daughter. "Sorry for not opening the door.
"Sorry! We fell asleep…" Said Anna with her cheerful demeanor.
"Okay then, it\'s fine girls." I said. "Sorry for making dinner so late, I fell asleep myself as well, hahaha! I made a delicious steak. I also brought Netflex, do you want to see the newest series with me?"
"Sure, sounds like a plan!" Said Anna.
"Hm, it\'s fine. We can spend time together… Like a girl\'s night." My daughter said with a smile.
"R-Really? A girl\'s night with me… Uwah… A-Am I being added to your friend group now?!" I asked happily.
"…Don\'t go overboard now." My daughter quickly replied to me with her expressionless face.
"Hahaha, maybe!" Anna added.
And like that, we spent the next three hours watching series over the couch after having a fulfilling dinner. The girls had some green tea bottles and also snacks, so I ended snacking on what they had while we watched series. My daughter wasn\'t much to talk, but Anna was really talkative so it was nice to always analyze what we watched with her.
"Oh, how\'s the friendship with the rich girl?" I wondered.
"Oh, Elisa? She wanted to come here but I didn\'t let her. I don\'t have enough space for her in my small room, it would end up too cramped… She invited me to a sleepover tomorrow… Can I go?" She wondered.
"I would need to first see where she lives, dear. I don\'t like to send you to strange places." I said.
"But I am already over 15…" My daughter said.
"I-I know, but your mother is just worried!" I said. "She also invited me to work for her I remember, so I doubt she\'ll be annoyed if I go."
"Honestly I wouldn\'t really want Elena going to that rich\'s girl house. She\'s a bit cheeky." Said Anna angrily. "I bet she got ulterior motives for Elena too. She\'s the top beauty of school after all, there\'s a lot of girls after her…!"
"W-What? Really?" I wondered. "Is Elisa… Erm, lesbian?"
"I don\'t know…" Said Elena. "I don\'t care either, she\'s nice to me or that\'s all-what matters. Anna don\'t be so jealous."
"Ugh, fine… Sorry." Anna apologized.
"Well… I won\'t judge my daughter if she ends with a girl… but I would like to know beforehand if you ever get into a relationship, okay?" I asked. "It would be too surprising if it comes out of nowhere. If you\'re dating with somebody, tell me."
"W-What are you talking about, mom?! T-That\'s… I am not dating anybody…" My daughter said while blushing a bit.
Anna seemed to look at her slightly gloomily for some reason.
"Right, Anna?" She asked.
"…Riiiiight." Anna answered slightly angrily.
Why is she angry out of the sudden?
"Well, for now I\'m going to bed, so goodnight, girls." I said. "If you want to, you can also sleep in the couch, Anna. I can bring you a cushion and other things."
"O-Oh, yeah, thanks, I think I\'ll sleep in the cushion instead." Said Anna while crossing her arms and looking at Elena for some reason.
"What? But my room is just fine…" Elena said.
"Well? It is a bit weird to sleep in there all cramped, like you just said." Said Anna.
"T-That\'s… Well, do whatever you want…" My daughter said, quickly helping me bring the things for Anna to sleep on the couch.
After that, I decided to let the girls be because I was too sleepy. After giving some food to Blackie, I went to bed, quickly checking my phone one last time. There were some news about Brand New Life Online, apparently a new Update was going to hit soon, they were introducing a bunch of new Classes, Races, Skills, and Dungeons, which will soon begin to appear widespread instead of being as rare! Wow, that\'s gonna change the entire metagame.
