10 Accidents Happen

Dye's sick, alright, really sick...

Her forehead was burning, a fever in Earth, but in Hyouka, a simple fever was treated like a plague.

Lin Mao would actually kneel and worship her if she told him that it was a 'simple cold'. He was already idolizing her the second she said that it's nothing for her.

Oh wait, it's probably the same.

Ynoir, on the other hand, had been a supportive old man. Well, he was an old man, by age...and being an ancestor, he was way more knowledgeable than Lin Mao.

He still couldn't compare to Dye's knowledge though, Dye was just too smart for her own good. She was the creator of Hyouka after all. She knew every single nook and cranny inside Hyouka, she knew every single person in Hyouka (Maybe not, she didn't design Mrs. Lin to have a son.), and she knew every single monster in Hyouka.

She also knew how to swindle them.

"Will you be alright?" Ynoir asked for the...actually, Dye couldn't remember, but she still think that it's sweet of Ynoir to worry about her.

"Don't worry old man, I'm fine," Dye grinned, but it quickly disappeared as she started coughing,"I really need cough drops...some cold water's nice..."

Lin Mao, being the big idiot he was, well, it was rather cute, but annoying at other times, didnt understand what Dye meant, "NO ! You can't cough again! You're in pain when you do...and you're shivering! Why do you even need cold water?"

If she could hit Lin Mao's head, she would. She really would.

"Cough drops are pills, kid," Ynoir started to do his 'old man rant', "while the cold water...do you even feel her forehead?"

Lin Mao raised an eyebrow and placed his rough palm on Dye's forehead, before he suddenly jumped and flicked his hand a hundred times, "That's really hot...she's boiling!"

"I'm far from boiling," Dye wheezed in a breathy voice, "if I'm boiling, I'll be dead by now."

This world's pills were really expensive, thanks to a certain programmer. Dye wanted the players to rely more on their skills and not their 'recovery elixir' or 'recovery pills'. Those were more...professional.

She should make the game 'beginners friendly'.

Dye let out a soft groan as she felt even more nauseus, "I shouldn't ate that..."

Ynoir glared at Lin Mao from the corner of his eye.

Well, there was a reason why Dye had a fever right now.

"I challenge you to eat that!" Lin Mao pointed at a random stall.

Okay, Dye created food to be 'timed recovery items', and she, with her 'imagination', created...disgusting food...

Well, at first, it was just for the fun of it. Then, she got...too carried away and made even more disgusting food. Ironically, the people of Hyouka were 'used to' these...food.

"No,"

Well, they thought Dye came from 'somewhere far' as according to the background, the player wasn't someone from the Beginner's Village. They're travelers...

Well, if a fifteen years old girl could be a long distance traveler, so fast at that...

Dye immediately spewed out whatever she had eaten after they reached the Elementalist Guild. The empty guild was all theirs...permission granted by Landlady Lin, Mrs. Lin, and they used it...really well.

Some unsold Spirit Cores were stored in the storeroom, and some spice...Dye's spice stash, was stored in the kitchen area.

It was David's kitchen before...

Dye's status was 'weakened' and 'could not use spells'. Probably because it's a 'plague'.

She swore she almost blacked out the second she unlocked the door...

Hyouka's food was disgustingly...well...disgusting.

"I'm sorry," Lin Mao apologized, pressing both hands together, bowing to Dye.

"It's fine, accidents happen," Dye smiled sweetly at Lin Mao.

Almost immediately, Lin Mao started worshipping Dye for her 'generosity', not knowing that Dye was planning on 'how to make Lin Mao's death an accident' in her head.

She also wanted to go back to Earth and make the food at least a tad bit less disgusting...

Just a little...
