Chapter 743 Great Rewards
-----
"I'm sure Angelina and the rest are going to get happy once they heard we got the support of the Knight's Order." I smiled.
"Well, yeah, I hope they don't end up betraying us or something." Rita said. "That's always such a boring cliché. I want knights that are just good people for once!"
"Honestly, same." Mark said. "That David guy… I don't like him much but he was good natured. The spirits didn't hate him nor any of the other knights. If they had been modified or something, the spirits would immediately tell. They didn't harbor darker energies nor Malice either, right?"
"Yeah." Rita said. "I want to believe in them…"
"Damn, a lot happened today…" Jenny yawned. "I think I'll go eat dinner and then to bed."
"Honestly, same." Lily nodded. "I need to rest my thoughts in bed…"
"We are all quite tired, more mentally than physically…" I agreed.
"Well, here we are. Let's grab the rewards and log off. Should we order dinner?" Asked Mark.
"Oh? Sure! Sounds fine." I nodded.
Like that, we entered the Adventurer Guild, which at these hours was filled with even more adventurers having a meal after their jobs of the day.
The receptionist greeted us with some panic and surprise, bringing forth several rewards from the Knights Order.
"C-Congratulations on discovering a cultist hideout and… a hidden dungeon." She sighed. "You've served the Kingdom well, s-so Knight Captain David… has decided to reward you well t-too."
She was having a hard time wording her things properly, most likely because she was deep down quite angry that "non-humans" had done something so heroic and worth praising for.

And above all, we got 20k Merit, enough to jump all the way from E+ to D+ Rank as Adventurers!
"A-Amazing… You are really something else…" The receptionist was flabbergasted. "I guess… Maybe I was wrong about thinking of you guys as suspicious. Thanks for… serving the city."
"Even the cocky blondie's surprised?" Rita laughed. "Oh wow, this is really amazing!"
"Alright, now that we're done here, we should log off for now." Lily yawned. "I'm so sleepy…"
"Me too, by guys!" Jenny quickly logged off.
"I guess we should also log off and order something." I smiled.
"Yeah, let's relax for once." Mark agreed.
As we logged off inside the Adventurer Guild and disappeared from there, I opened my eyes back on Earth, taking away the VR headset and stretching my arms and legs.
Mark was also there doing the same, I ended hugging him tightly for a bit. I really needed a hug after all that rollercoaster of emotions I went through.
"Ugh, so many things happened…" I sighed. "I need a long nap."
"Same." He said, caressing my hair. "Let's process things slowly."
"How about we order some Chinese food for a change?" I asked.
"Sure, sounds good!" He said.
"Alright!"
I quickly walked out of my room, greeting Monica and Elena who were eating ice cream right in front of the kitchen, while playing what seemed to be Mario Kart on the living room's TV.
"You guys are finally out of the game." My daughter said.
"Hello… Elena offered me ice cream so I…" Monica was still a bit nervous.
"It's fine, I'm glad you girls were able to wait us out." I sighed. "We were quite busy, and a lot happened, honestly…"
"Really?" My daughter asked. "Did you discover something about the cult, mom?"
"More than you can imagine…" I said, quickly looking at my phone to order something. "We'll order Chinese food, do you girls want too, or something else? I'll order whatever you want too."
"Chinese Food sounds nice, but I would prefer a burger for once." My daughter said. "With a lot of fries, nuggets and barbeque sauce… Ah, and a Sunday too!"
"Fine… But you better spend those calories tomorrow morning on the gym!" I giggled.
"Ugh… Y-Yeah." She nodded, looking defeated.
"I-I'm fine with anything you prefer, auntie." Monica said.
"Are you sure? You don't have a preference?" I asked her.
"I-I usually just ate… instant ramen or a sandwich, I didn't had much money to buy anything else back home…" She said.
"A-Ah… I see." I said. "Okay, but what do you usually like? Meat, chicken? Rice? Noodles?"
"Hmm… I would like something else other than noodles… M-Maybe rice with… chicken?" She asked timidly.
"Alright! I'll get you some fried rice with chicken chop suey… Let's get some wonton, gyoza, and all the other goodies…" I giggled. "We'll have a big feast!"
"Looks like you ordered already?" Mark walked out of the room as well as he went to boil some water to drink some tea.
"Yeah, I also got your favorite too." I nodded.
"Alright…" He yawned, looking at the TV. "Oh you're playing Mario Kart!"
"Yeah, she's always losing." My daughter giggled.
"Uwaah!" Monica panicked as her kart was smashed by a flying blue shell. "Noo… And just when I thought I would get it!"
"Better luck next time!" Elena laughed.
"Elena, don't be so mean." I said, reprimanding her. "Let her win sometimes, okay?"
"Eh? Ugh… okay." Elena sighed.
"It's not fun if you let me win, I-I'll win on my own…" Monica said while trying to muster some willpower.
However, a few minutes later, she was crying again because she kept losing…
