Chapter 31: But are you happy?

"Are we there?" Nero asked when they arrived in front of a large gate with a beautiful garden in the fence. It was possible to see that in the back of the fence, there was a beautiful, breathtaking white mansion.

"Yeah." Choko nodded with a warm smile, "Come on, let's go in."

"Right." Nero agreed and walked with Choko and her group.

Walking through the beautiful garden of the land. An apple appeared in Nero's hand, she started chewing the apple while walking through the beautiful garden.

"That makes me think. It's been a long time since those apples have been in my inventory. Does that mean the time inside the inventory is frozen or something similar?" Nero thought, "Hrm. That must be it..."

"It's not fair, Nero. I'm hungry too." Jana said when she realized that Nero was eating.

"Oh, my bad. I have more with me, do you want it?" She asked and they nodded in answer. Nero took four apples from the inventory and gave them one each.

"Thank you, Nero." They said in unison.

"You're welcome." Nero said and asked, "Your family's house is quite large. Now I'm convinced you came from a wealthy family." She smiled.

A strange glow passed through Choko's eyes, but soon he returned to normal. She shook her head while explaining, "I'm not staying at the main house. My mother and I stayed in a separate place since my mother is one of my father's concubines..."

""..."

Nero didn't know what to say. Since she had no experience with these matters. She noticed that Choko's life story was more complicated than she imagined; it wasn't simply the life of a spoiled girl who decided to go out into the world and explore.

In the end, Nero only said a few words: "I understand. But are you happy?"

"Yes, very much. I love my mother. Although I don't see my father much, I still like his, at least my mother and I have a better life than the other concubines of my father, since my mother had a son his." Choko explained.

"Oh, what matters is that you're happy." Nero smiled at her: "Don't let happiness slip away, just for a few material goods, if you want money and luxury. I know you can do it for yourself."

"Yes, you're right." Choko forced himself not to cry and she gave a tight hug to Nero, surprising her. "You're a good friend, Nero."

Although she's surprised by Choko's sudden hug. Nero gave her the hug back. Soon Nero groaned a little because she felt a throbbing pain in his head her.

Choko, who noticed this, asked worried, "Is everything okay, Nero? What's going on?"

Jana, Jair, and Breno looked in the direction of Nero. The concern was visible in their eyes. They knew that Nero had just woken up after she was in a coma for a month.

Nero raised her hands and put it on her head with sudden dizziness. Out of touch with what they were talking about. She almost crouched on the pain floor.

However, she was already used to the pain... a while later, she ran out of pain a little, although she still feels pain; she was not as strong as before. It's a good thing she had her Cell Regeneration ability, it came into effect once again; helping her relieve the pain she was feeling at that moment.

Setting out a relieved breath. She looked at them and said, "I'm fine." She forced a smile: "I just felt a little dizzy and a sudden headache, but it's getting better..."

They put their hands on their chest and sighed with relief. But their eyes were still on Nero. Afraid that it might happen again.

"If you keep looking at me too much, you'll make me blush." Nero jokes, wanting to break this depressing climate.

Breno and Jair turned their faces quickly. While Jana only smiled, but Choko was affected by Nero's charm, she blushed furiously, looking away with shame that Nero would notice...

* Sigh*

"What was that now?" Nero breathed a long sigh as she got up. She looked at their little faces looking like puppies worried about their owner. She couldn't help but think they were cute.

Luckily, she met good people... if it were others who saw her fainting for a month... at that time she wouldn't even remember her name. Or worse, they could take advantage of her; like the father-son pair, that wanted to take advantage of her.

Seeing that Nero was feeling better and she had no more pain index in his face. Choko and the others felt relieved. Nero said that she could continue and they continued to walk towards Choko's house and her mom.

The moment Nero felt a severe throbbing headache... She had a glimpse of things that wasn't remembered by her. Bathed in blood, killing and massacring... "What exactly was that?"

As much as she tortures her mind, she couldn't think of anything that could have anything to do with those memories that she now had...

"Ahh, it doesn't matter. There's no point in thinking about it now." Nero shook her head and kept walking.

Choko, who noticed the strange behavior of her, pronounced nothing. But she continued to glance at Nero at times worried since it's only been a few hours since she came out of a coma after a month.

Jana coughed lightly: "Cough, now that Nero is well, how about forming a group of five of us and going to explore a starter dungeon?"

They all looked in Jana's direction when they heard what she said.

Breno then said, "But Nero doesn't have a hunter's card yet. You know the basic requirements to get into a dungeon, right?"

Jana looked at Breno and said, "Yes, so I think she should make a hunter's card. That way, it would also be easier to hide her special abilities."

Choko's eyes sparkled, "Jana's right!" She looked at Nero, "What do you think, Nero?"

"Hrm. I agree." Nero nodded, "I was already thinking of doing that."
