Chapitre 59: Ancient Lineage
Chapter 59: Ancient Lineage
It had been three days ever since Venomous' finding.
She had done great work by finding the clue to the Ice Tomb, but gathering 10000 from Yetis would take some time. Michu had been worried about something recently too and he often dazed while looking at Venomous.
She said, "What do you need from me?" In the beginning, she couldn't help but scream inwardly at how cute her monke was. But too much sugar would kill even the snake, so she asked later on.
Also, it wasn't wise to keep the monke's head clouded with worry.
"So final exams are coming and I am bad at school... I thought that you could help me." Michu confessed his thoughts. At first, he looked at Yumi with wide eyes, but then lowered to not look into her face. It was kinda embarrassing for him to ask about it as it would mean the meeting in real life.
It was impossible to teach this stuff in-game as Michu couldn't bring his student's book!
Venomous realized it and fear struck her face, "That's..." The deepest worry was that her real appearance looked nowhere close to her in-game. It was solely because she neglected her health.
However, Yumi glanced at Sandra and her heart clenched, "Well... We can meet." Butterflies also teemed her stomach. She looked a little uncertain, making Michu wave his hands before her eyes.
"No need to force yourself! I will be with you in-game no matter what, Yumi!" He misunderstood a little, but Michu knew that he'd asked for too much. A lot had happened between them, but it was all in-game nonetheless. Meeting in real life would be too much and he also wouldn't opt for it if someone other than her asked him for it. It was because Michu was a tad different in real life and he often would get overwhelmed due to his poor origins.
Just the fact that his clothes stood out and reeked off with poverty would make others look down on him.
So other than Yumi, Michu would also refuse gently if some other friends asked him for a real-life meeting.
Still, the school wasn't forgiving!
"Your studies are important... Other than the game, I have a lot of free time." Yumi would feel guilty if Michu failed the school and ended up repeating the class. He had asked her nicely for help and he was probably too poor to get help from a tutor.
She never had problems with school and her studies were further than her peers, so Michu's problems shouldn't be a problem for her, "That's why... You can meet me in real life. We have the same time zone, but where do you live?"
"Are you sure?" Michu scratched his hair as he asked again. To his words, Venomous nodded. She never met someone like Michu and he wasn't a person who would comment on her appearance. He'd already done enough that she promised 'one close favor' too. Honestly, the more she thought, the less worried Yumi became.
"That would take you at least six hours by foot..." After Michu shared where he lived, Venomous estimated that it would take at least six hours if not more by reaching her apartment!
Michu wouldn't be able to use the bus or order a taxi. He also would rather save money for food, so while Venomous wasn't aware of that, she didn't say anything about using those services.
Of course, the monke wasn't let down! He smiled, "Oh, it would mean one day off from the game! I will return in the evening by then..." The monke inferred.
"You never know what people you meet at night. Just sleep in my apartment for one night. I have two VR capsules anyway." Yumi's words shocked Michu!
"Do you live with someone?" Why would she have two capsules?
"I have two capsules just in case one suddenly stops working," Yumi replied, then stressed out one sentence, "I live alone and never had anyone."
"Oh... Okay..."
And thus, the day when Michu would meet Yumi in real life got marked on the calendar.
In just two days, he would see her.

[Frozen Heart.]
[Yeti's Frozen Heart possesses 1% blood of an ancient lineage. It can lead you to the Ice Tomb and help you enter its Frozen Trial. The Ice Tomb is shrouded in the Cold Time.]
The Frozen Heart was just the orb that had the real heart's shape. It was far from romantic and Feng surely wouldn't use it as a present for his lady on this 'Impossible Journey'.
Yumi held it tightly while reading the content.
There were just a few lines, but each spoke about treasures, "Ancient Lineage. The Ice Tomb. The Frozen Trial. Cold Time." By knowing these terms, one could begin another chain of quests.
If The Four Leaf World was a normal game, the system messages would've swarmed Venomous' eyes. Unfortunately, she could only shift her beliefs and believe in all those terms.
She would move with a belief that Ancient Lineage both existed in this world and on Earth. She would find The Ice Tomb and look at it as if another world wonder appeared on Earth. She would go through The Frozen Trial like a scout.
The Cold Time was referring to what Feng thought of as romantic. The slowed down time that had been rather helpful for Michu's party so far...
By believing in those terms like that, Venomous should make them appear before them at some point. The whole Ice Tomb also should become something far easier to overcome... The best would be if the game messages appeared to help, but those were rare and depended on the quest and place.
"Ancient Lineage..." Michu caressed his chin, "Pterodactyl?" Out of all the terms, Michu could believe in only one. And that was because he had seen 'records' of pterodactyl on a school trip to the museum in elementary school once.
"I have a strong belief that Pterodactyls were real," Yumi fanned the flames of sudden belief and her words helped the monke's destiny.
"True! How could a museum lie? Wouldn't they be gangsters?" The school trip was free because it was sponsored by the government.
Could the government be... gangsters?
Of course not!
L’AVIS DES CRÉATEURS 
Sixth
Sixth Thanks for reading! Have a nice day!
I will refrain from following earth's countries etc. There's Earth, it's my earth and I don't want to create names for countries etc, so Michu and Yumi are just somewhere from the eastern side. We won't know their country's name ^^
