37 Class Quest Begins Part I
“How did you become this small again?”
The amused question came with an annoying smile, implying that the one who asked was enjoying teasing the little girl in front of him so much. Those light brown eyes were sparkling as they looked at his friend’s ‘new look’.
“Do you really want to know about it, or do you just want to continue having me sitting like a doll on your lap?!” Maysa snapped, sounding so fed up with this. The body of a five-year-old girl totally could not put up with the taller one’s strength. So, she just clenched her teeth, punching this annoying jerk with her chubby tiny fist, only to cause the itch on the other.
“I want both.” Wisana smiled. “A part of me is worrying about you, and the other part, I think that you’re so adorable, so cuddly in this version that I don’t want to let go.”
“Moron!” The little girl snapped again before she punched him for another combo. The victim laughed, holding both of her wrists to stop them.
“Aw, big bro will stop teasing you now. Calm down.”
“If you won’t stop, I'm going to take out my guns and shoot you holes.”
The one who was being threatened pouted, holding up a finger to brush her under the chin with more endearment than fear.
“Wisana!”
“Alright, alright. I'll stop now.” Wisana raised his hands to say that he really gave up, eyes still sparkling.
He gave up not because he was afraid of her or anything, but because the tiny one on his lap started to shed tears.
“Okay, seriously, how did you end up in this body?”
“It’s because of those crazy people. They were chasing me like crazy dogs!” Maysa's ‘those crazy people’ were probably the fans and reporters. The thought made him chuckle.
“I logged in to the game just like I normally did, and I planned to submit Lord Inferno photos at the quest office in the city. At first, I was surprised as to why other players around there were staring at me, but I didn’t pay much attention to them until I was filling in the quest information and a fat weirdo with glasses, looking perverted, walked up to me at the counter and asked me a question.”
“And what did he ask?” Wisana raised his eyebrows.
“You think he would ask me about my underwear’s color? No! you moron.” Maysa bawled as her eyes were watering, making the listener laugh even louder.
“He asked if my name was Maysa. So, I said yes before a hundred players were crowded up around me, asking for my autograph and selfies with me. When I was surrounded by this chaos, my butt was groped multiple times!” She finished as she started crying loudly. Wisana shook his head then he pulled the smaller one into a soft hug.
“(Sniff..) Wisana, I don’t think I can get married anymore. I was groped and tarnished. Those crazy perverts even established that stupid fandom now, Wah!! My innocent youth has ended!” After she was comforted, the little girl cried even harder, looking pitiful.
So pitiful that Wisana had the hold in his laugh so hard that his stomach hurt.
“Come on, hush now. There's no need to be such a weeper. I'll take care of all of them. So, tell me who was bullying big bro’s, little sis?” Hearing that, her tears suddenly stopped like the tap was turned off. 14:29
The weepy girl pulled away from his arms.
“How can you still find this funny, you jerk?! Do you understand how scary that was before I could get away from them? I even climbed up to the belfry, but there were still some maniacs following me there! I was scared to death, and they looked... very creepy!” She finished speaking before she threw another tantrum.
“There, there. Please don’t cry.” The second attempt to calm her down took quite a long while before Maysa could finally get it together again.
“So, how did you change your body size like this?”
“It was because of Ae... Manoch!” the small voice snapped, as she was pissed.
“What did he do?”
“He turned me into a child!”
“Huh?”
“And this!” She said, pointing at the wiggling cat ears on her head. Wisana narrowed his eyes to gaze at them perplexedly before raising his hand to touch those ears. Then, Maysa’s face got reddened, screeching in no time.
“KYAAA!” The loud moan made Wisana flinch.
“Don’t touch! They are very sensitive.”
“S... sorry.” The slow brain stuttered. “What’s up with the ears?”
“They are cursed accessories!” Maysa yelled aloud.
“Huh?”
“It means that when you wear them, you get the curses from them, too. For example, the cat ears curse, cat tail curse, age reduction curse, boobs puffing curse, all those kinds of strange things!” she said, looking like she was about to cry again. Wisana could only give her a blank expression as he was not quite catching up with her, yet.
“And what about it? I don’t get it.”
“You still don’t?!” This time, she cried. “They are the pervert curses for those who have some weird, disgusting fetishes! You know, like they’re into cat girls, lolicons, or big boobs, stuff like that! And these cat ears, darn Manoch has upgraded them to include two curses: the cat ears and the age reduction!” Maysa kept bawling as she was burying her face in Wisana’s chest.
“I’m so done here. In a single day, I was groped all over my body and yet have to be in this awful costume.”
Listening to her long complaint, the man started to understand her a little. Wisana chuckled, patting the hair of the little one on his lap to comfort her.
“Well, I think you look cute like this though.”
“Cute my hat!” Maysa disagreed. “I trusted that Manoch guy that he’d have good intentions for me, handing me those cat ears and the clothes when I was in a headlong rush. I was so glad at first. I thought that he was helping me, but no, he was simply pranking me! Because these ears have to be worn for more than one day before I can take them off!” Her face looked disappointed.
“So, it means that you have to be like this for the rest of the day?”
“Obviously!”
“Aw, I’m so sorry for you.” The little pouted at him.
“If you’re so sorry, why are you smiling so big like that, huh?”
“Come on, your previous version was fine, but I really like the current version, too.” He did not just say it, but also patted Maysa on the head with endearment, leaning closer to smooch her again. But the moody one stayed still. She did not try to wiggle away like before. It looked like she had used up all her energy on bawling and crying a while ago.
“Yeah, keep laughing. Don't you know that we’re in a huge problem right now?” Wisana paused, turning to her adorable face with an amused smile.
“What problem?”
“The problem is that we are currently the most famous players in the game!”
“Yeah, I already know that, and?”
“Good. Remember that we’ve killed the toughest boss with level 180 in just 18 minutes. And that now there are millions of players who want to see your face and your class. Also, since you’ve not registered in any class, and that Vincent is just a made-up name, your information has become rare. It can simply be compared with ten pieces of grade S items that many people wish to have.” Her comparison made the listener secretly laugh, though it was so easy to understand.
“And what should I do with that?” The innocent question got a big sigh out of the smaller figure in front of him.
“I think there are two choices for you to decide,” Maysa said, holding up two fingers.
