C18: The Internet

Jamie quickly typed in the password before Melloni came out of the shower and finally got 'Wi-fi.'

"Okay, so… What do you want it for?" This time, Claire asked it in a murmur.

"Just… searching up a quest for me. I have to make some decent money and buy some new clothes at least, not to mention I have things to buy for the house too."

"Oooo... that is a good idea. But I highly doubt that you would be able to defeat these quests. They don't just put the ads on the internet for free like they hang their posters in quest boards you know."

"Is that so? But I am in desperate need of some money, so I won't mind making a little extra money."

"Wow… I am impressed by your bravery." She giggled.

Right at that moment, the big sister walked out of the bathroom and walked through the living room, still wearing her towel and wiping her hair dry. "Oh, guys! What are you giggling about? Having fun without me, are you?" she chuckled as she went.

Claire and Jamie looked at each other and Jamie winked at her. Claire pouted and showed him a thumbs up.

Jamie opened 'Mordor' on his mobile phone. "Goddamn copyright infringement," he thought as he saw the 'safari' on his phone. The Safari was literally Mordor.

[Quests available in Downwood…] he typed in.

[Search Results:

"A Rat Rampage had broken out in the sewer systems of our town! We, the knights of the Downwood Guard, are seeking help from anyone available in town to do this quest!"

"A guild thief had been reported patrolling the streets at night. We ask for the next masked hero to rise up and take on the mission of searching for this next possible master thief before the man or woman commits countless more crimes!"

Jamie's attention on the mobile screen suddenly broke.

"Found anything?" Claire asked him.

"Got some good eye-catching missions in this thing called [TheWoodenBoard.com.]"

"Oh yeah, look into that one Jamie. It surely is the best Quest Board in Downwood!"

Jamie clicked on the site and it took him straight to the main page.

"But do choose a possible quest, boy. You may not be able to beat those high-class Wooden Board stuff!" Melloni advised as she passed by the two young ones sitting near the TV.

She was getting ready for something, which was obvious by the dress she was wearing. A long dark purple frock.

"Sis, where are you going?"

"To town."

"What for?"

"Pick up some ingredients I need for the next potion for that Eric guy who called last night. So much work these days… I just finished doing mutating potions for some rich people!"

Eric was quite the familiar name for Jamie, but it went unnoticed because he was too hooked on that Rat Slaying quest which said that it'll pay 20 Golden Coins for any two people who would be able to complete the mission.

"I found a good one," announced Jamie.

"Oh, how much is the payout?" Melloni asked out of curiosity.

"20 Golden coins!" Jamie smirked. Melloni couldn't help but scoff after hearing this.

"20? Golden? I don't think that quest is easy for you."

Jamie simply ignored what she said. "I am going to town I guess."

"Oh, you are? Well, why not come with me, Jamie. I'll drop you down from town," Melloni offered the Demon King a ride, who was sitting on the couch in a very awkward position like a child with his legs crossed. His eyes were directed at her as he drank the last drop of coffee.

Claire blinked upon seeing this. "Ummm… bye you two! Have a great day! Also… good luck on the mission Jamie. Do come back, alive!" she giggled.

Jamie loved that giggle, and so did Melloni.

"Bye, darling."

"Bye, Claire."

Outside of the Lorkey's Cottage was a small garage that Jamie hadn't noticed before. He simply thought that it was some small room in there but it was actually a garage!

"You know, Melloni, we can't go join them too late. They had a limited admission thing mentioned in that internet post. So, traffic may be a problem.

"Ahahaha!!" Melloni laughed upon hearing this. "We don't have traffic in the air, idiot –" she pulled up the garage door, and there it was! A broom floating in mid-air.

"Wonderful! Witches and brooms are a perfect mashup!"

"Jamie, you truly have forgotten everything."

The witch got in the front of the broom where there was a small handle to control it too. It wasn't really much different from those Harry Potter movies, but surely, it looked easier to handle one.

Jamie climbed aboard and sat behind the witch.

"Hold on to me or you'll fall."

Jamie tried to grab hold of her by the waist but – 'Oh no, no, no…'

"Come on, buckle up!"

Jamie quickly grasped her shoulders firmly. "Go."

"What the hell man – wrap your hands around my waist. No matter how tough a man you are, you'll fall when the wind current starts hitting you!"

Jamie gulped and wrapped his hands around the Witch's waist, and his strong chest hit against Melloni's back. Melloni felt a bit afraid, but mostly, shy now. She had never even been touched by a man before or held hands with one even after she was 18. She honestly thought that the sensation wouldn't be odd… but this was making her blush!

"Are you ok?"

"Uh – Ugh, I'm ok~ Please hold on... Tightly!" The broom suddenly shot into the air as she became shyer.

However, just as it took off, Jamie's lower front part bumped against Melloni's upper area of her butt. "Mmm~" she made a weird sound as Jamie banged against her.

"Huh? Did you just say something?"

"No ~ nothing…"

'God… I'm still hearing those hentai screams I've been listening to since the old days. Why is it still in my head? Whoops! Almost got turned on…'

In 30 seconds, they were out of the woods. A few witches were flying around in the distance, but as they say, 'There is no traffic in the air.' Though, he wondered what happens in a swarm of Dragons.

Below them was the widespread town of Downwood. Jamie had never seen this view before, and he wasn't sure if he had seen such a beautiful place even down on Earth.

Tons of houses and buildings were covered in old roots and plants and it didn't even bother the people in Downwood. Not a single bit. The kids were enjoying their time, running across the roads, the Guards walking around the town to safeguard their jobs, and everything else.

The view was truly beautiful from above, but what interested him the most was down there in the streets.

"Ha… finally here."

Jamie jumped down from the broomstick. "Thanks for the ride."

"You ~ You're welcome!"

The witch was acting weird and Jamie felt off when she said it like this.

"I'll see you later then."

The witch flew off after a little wave and Jamie gazed at her as she went. He shook his head and turned around to check out the place where he was invited to.

[You have arrived at the Sewer Juice!]

"Disgusting man… disgusting."
