14. You Can Call Me Gin II

"Wait, you're level 10 already!?" (Mirai)

"Oh come on, don't shout in my ears. It's nothing to be surprised for. I mean it's just a simple hunt for players and fill up the required upgrade point" (Jin)

"What do you mean it's nothing? I mean you reached level 10 in the rookie match? How can you hunt that many players in such a short time?"

It's been 3 days since I started traveling with Mirai. Just in 3 days, we became closer like a friend. I never thought my own little sister would be this easy going, but it doesn't feel bad to interact with her like this.

Anyway it was very easy to get information out from her mouth as she likes to talk a lot of unnecessary things. I remembered Kirari got mad before to Mirai because she was to gullible as a girl and now I understand why Kirari got mad.

I mean this girl talks a lot about her daily lives, her likes and dislikes, her favorite songs and singer, and many other things to me who was just a stranger to her 3 days ago.

Well at least I got something that I want to know from her. I pretended to be curious and ask her about the rumors that she have a trash brother. I was expecting her to answer cheerfully like how she talks but just in that moment her eyes become cold.

She even got mad at me and told me to not talk bad about her brother. She said that to not trust any bad rumors about her brother as he is still her brother.

Honestly I felt a little warm when she defended me like that and it's a good news to find out that my little sister actually didn't hate me.

So I apologized and said that I was being to curious about the rumors and stuff which made her ask where did I hear that rumor from. In the end I successfully changed the topic of our conversation.

We continue to converse with each other all day long and she would curse the Perula girl time to time.

It seems the Perula girl used a spell card that could seal a player energy for a few seconds on her. If a player energy got sealed, then all of the player summoned followers would be automatically turned back into cards as well.

#A/N : Etherion, spirit, mana, etc are a kind of form of an energy.

Although the card ability to seal a player energy sounds very powerful and dangerous, actually it has some restriction to be used such as the card has to make body contact physically to the target or how the target level should be the same or bellow the user level.

She even grumbled about the fact that she need to summon her follower again

Mirai regretted that she even think that she can work together with someone crazy as her. We kept changing topics as we talk, though most of the talking were done by Mirai.

The myth of a girl to have an unlimited supply of topics to talk about seems true right now.

When we somehow talk about card grades, she suddenly pointed her finger to Sil and Kirika then said that she know Kirika is a silver grade card while she couldn't tell Sil grade which she then guessed to be gold grade.

When I asked her how did she do it, she said that it was a simple skill called 'Inspect' which I can buy from the shop when I reached level 20.

The skills that I assumed as the rarest type of cards turns out to be very easy to obtain, though it only applies to the lowest grade skills and those skills are available i the shop.

Another thing here is that the shop category will be updated when a player reached level 20 and after the shop got updated, it will contain all types of cards that is quite expensive but available to be bought with GP.

Currently my shop only have the 'trade' function that I can use to trade with other players on the same planet as mine.

There more functions that can be unlocked with higher level. But the thing here is that she was surprised when she knew I was level 10 beforehand so it is impossible for her level to be 20.

When I asked her about it, she said that the skill was given by her family to her. She even said that it was one of the basic things that all the noble family will give their descendants for the rookie match as a starter pack.

It was something like a common sense to her but for me who got involved in this game by accident, it was all new information.

Because of that she even grew suspicious of me but fortunately I was able to handle it by telling her that my family training is the type of where they put their descendants in poverty and need to get everything by themselves.

The general starter pack of the Konoe family contained the 'Inspect' skill, +10 inventory card, bronze grade armor cards, bronze grade weapon cards, 5 offensive spell cards, 5 defensive spell cards, 1 silver grade follower card, 3 bronze grade follower cards, 6 Lead grade follower cards, and 10 Iron grade follower cards.

That starter pack was given to all the Konoe family descendants before their rookie match started except for their heir which was also given a bonus of 1 gold grade follower card.

It was from here that I got to know how rare a gold grade card is and why she treated me so well.

Fortunately she really bought the excuse I used before and now tried to tell me everything about the game.

She taught me a lot of things about the basics of the game that I didn't know yet and I secretly felt content to be able to get all of this information.

Since she knew my 'circumstances' right now or so she thought, she even pointed out that she also found out about me having a skill to decrease the decrease the spirit amount to summon followers from seeing how many soldiers I have.

She even said that it was one of the rarest and sought out skill, even her family didn't have anyone with that kind of skill.

That's why she thought that I might be someone from a very big family that her family cannot compare.

When I heard her saying this, I couldn't help but smile wryly as the truth was actually so far off from her guess.

I also learned about the existences of 'named' cards which is considered the rarest card of all types as 'named' cards usually came with extra skill related to their own factions, extra artifacts that bounded to them which has their own abilities, and named cards posses a very high prowess.

Mirai also said that the easiest way to get a named cards was to get the hidden cards inside the rookie match but it still considered extremely hard as it requires a huge amount of luck and a high strength to subdue those named cards.

It was so rare to the point she said that the only one she knew to have a named card at earth is sir Palesin, the leader of earth.

There also a rumor that all the hidden cards inside the rookie match is actually named cards as the only player who have actually find all 3 silver cards in her rookie match before got all three of her current strongest named cards from there.

While she talked how she dreamed to get one at least in the future, I couldn't help but look toward the 2 girls that I already consummated with.

I know that with their prowess, both of them could hear our conversation very easily even thought our distance is not that close so I gave them a glance along with my silent question.

When I stared at both of them, Kirika and Sil nodded back at me, confirming that both of them actually are named cards.

I don't know why they haven't told me about the named cards yet but I believe they have a good reason for not doing so, I will ask them later to confirm again with both of them.

Anyway since Mirai thought of me as a heir of an ancient family in hiding, she completely regard me as the leader in our group of two.

Whenever we found a player or beasts to hunt, she always yield them to me and said that being safe under my protection is enough for her and she wouldn't dare to take anything more from me.

But in the end with my insistence, she yielded and start to hunt beasts as well, but still keep insisting for me to hunt the players.

After that we kept travelling together and another week passed peacefully for us.

As time passed, we met less players and more beasts instead. If before the beasts only shown up along or in a small group, this time they always appear in medium sized group of 5 to 10 beasts and sometimes I even found 1 or 2 lead grade beasts among them.

Fortunately Mirai was very eager to tell me about the realm types. There are many background of fallen worlds that the system use for the game matches.

A dungeon, an apocalypse world, a world filled with forests or seas, and many other worlds to.

Following the background, there are also many types of game matches like our current match which emphasize survival.

Of course there are also many types of survival as well like defense against some hordes of beasts, or surviving for some span of time, and other survival type of matches.

As for our current game match, it was the type of survival match that get harder with each passing days.

Mirai said that our rookie match is one of the hardest type of matches in the game for the rookies as the beasts were to strong for most players near the end of the match.

But with that kind of dangerous world, of course many opportunities exist for the participants. Though it was commonly known that there are 1 silver card hidden in every rookie match, and 3 of them if the difficulty got higher, there actually a rumor that a gold card exist in the match with the highest difficulty.

That's why this match can be considered as a blessing for it many opportunities and a curse for it high difficulty.

After she explain about it, I understand why she choose to stay with me and even yield every gains that i find for myself alone.

She was afraid and just want to survive this match as the highest card grade she have is silver.

Silver grade beasts had been seen in the past rookie match as the leader of a beast horde which make the survival rate of the rookie players close to zero but there are times that they didn't show up as well.

Well honestly I also don't want to lose her if possible, after all we have been living together for a long time and I still consider her as a family even with our strained relationship.

Though I loath my family, I still can't bring myself to let them die as a part of me still thought of them as my family.

My mind want to slap their faces but my own heart and feelings want to embrace them. I hate my family, even my birth mother, but at the same time my own heart yearn for their affection.

It was quite contradicting but human feelings is far complicated to be understood with logic.

Anyway the thing that caught my attention was the fact that there are 2 other silver cards and possibly 1 gold card exist hidden somewhere in this realm.

When night came, I separated from Mirai and talked with Kirika together with Sil about it. Kirika then confirmed that there are other silver cards in this realm but she cannot say anything about their location to me as it was the rule made by game system itself.

"Can you not give any kind of hint about their places, Kirika?" (Jin)

"Unfortunately I can't master." (Kirika)

I felt a little ejected after finding out that it was impossible to get any kind of hint from her. But then suddenly Kirika changed the topic and start to talk about her own world before it falls.

She talked about the countries in her former world, about her job and duty before becoming a card, and many other things as well.

Though it was strange for her to talk about this topic all of a sudden, I thought that maybe she did this to elevate my dejected feelings from before.

By telling her past to me, it means that she just gave me her full trust and that made me happy a little bit.

But in the middle of our conversation, while Kirika talked about some kind of giant fortress, she suddenly put her hand inside my pants and start stroking my cock.

Of course my cock got erected instantly without question and Sil even baffled with this situation.

She keep talking about the fortress while stroking my cock up and down but after a few seconds of stroking, she stopped her hand movement.

Of course I got confused for why she stopped all of a sudden but when I gaze at her eyes, she looked at me with a serious expression.

There's no trace of the seductive expression that she always showed to me alone.

It was at that time that I realize she is up to something, then I remembered about our previous topic.

Now that I knew her intention, I keep my eyes toward her expression as she start to continue her story.
