183 Alter Mode ON (1/2)

Although confused, both of them nodded their head in agreement with her words. Never in their wildest dream did they thought it would be this fast for Sara to find a land that's suitable for Sheila soon-to-be headquarter of her yet-to-be-named organization. Sara smiles as she continues.

”It was honestly unexpected. I never thought to come across such a good deal right in front of my face just as I thought of giving up. Yes, it is as you thought, I have found precisely the land you're looking for, my daughter.”

”Really?!”

Sheila suddenly stood up with a shout. One could even see her eyes sparkling with excitement. After all, she had been waiting for so long for this very moment. Technically, it's only around a few months, but that doesn't matter. Although she won't admit if someone asked her, Sheila actually has a certain amount of fondness with a final boss-like character, ever since she was small.

To her, It doesn't matter whether they are a villain or heroes, as long as they are the final boss, she loves them. As someone who stood at the top of the predator's pyramid, they didn't that have that much worries in life. They are free to go wherever they wanted, free to do whatever they desire, that is the ultimate freedom, in her opinion.

Because she was born into a wealthy and influential family, many people have high expectations that she would also become successful like her parents once she had grown up to a healthy adult. When Sheila was at a very young age, she's very proud of her family, even now she still is. As a naive child who knew nothing about the world, she does her best to learn everything that would prove to be helpful in her endeavor to be successful. But it was only when a particular accident happened did she realized how much pressure she had onto her shoulders.

It was during her fallout that she came across animes, games, etc. And during that time, she isn't doing too well with her parents, a side effect caused by the incident. It wasn't because her parents were disappointed with her or anything like that, but more of her ignoring them on a daily basis. Sheila couldn't face them properly without remembering the incident, and thus, this is where Ria came in. Now that she has power in her hands, she couldn't help but entertain the thought of finding the culprit who caused the incident and make them suffer her dominant wrath.

If she's aiming to become someone like a final boss where they were given the freedom to do whatever they pleased, she has to do something regarding the regret dwelling inside of her.

”Of course. Do you want to go and check it in person? Why don't you go along with us too, Ria?”

”Eh, me?”

”Yes. you have nothing to do anyway, right?”

Sara smiles at her before turning her head toward Sheila and ask.

”How about that other girl, Sylvia, was it? If she's not busy, why don't you invite her as well? The more people, the merrier, isn't it?”

”She has something to do, so she can't tag along, unfortunately. Anyways, let's get going now, yeah?”

Sheila said. It was clear to the two that this girl is way excited to visit the place more than they thought she would. With a helpless sigh, Ria spoke.

”I think you need to get a change of cloth, Sheila. Didn't you just come out of the Trial Tower? Though I know you don't have any trouble there, you might have sweats, even a tiny bit. So, why don't you take a short bath first while we prepare ourselves in the meantime? Once all of us are done with our own preparation, we shall meet again in the living room.”

Sara gives a curt nod in response to her words.

”Eh, does it really matter? It's not like I smell, so there's no need for a bath. And both of you look good, what else do you need to prepare for?”

Knowing that she would be stubborn about it, Ria decided to used her trump card.

”Didn't you say something about your favorite mobile game are going to do a special event today? I remember hearing that from you the other day. I'm sure you have been busy for a while now, did you forget about it, perhaps?”

”Ah.”

Twenty minutes later..

”Come on, Sheila. A moment ago, you were so keen on it. So, why are we waiting for you now?”

Ria said, followed by a helpless sigh. After informing her about the event of the game, Sheila immediately took off upstairs to her room in haste. When Ria walked into the room, she can see the latter playing a console game with a solemn expression on her face. She couldn't help but snickers, finding Sheila looking so intently at the console game in her hand, priceless. Honestly, it has been a while seeing her looking like that. During the past couple of months, while they were playing games together, Sheila always seemed to be taking it easy and casual, which is the opposite of her current state.

Ria didn't need to prepare much, only a new set of cloth and nothing more than that. Since they were going outside for a short trip, she chose to go with a casual look, which is consists of a long white T-shirt, and comfortable pants on the go. It should have taken at most, five minutes but strangely, it took her ten minutes instead. Anyway, once she was done changing her outfit, Ria went to inform Sheila before leaving the room, expecting the latter to follow her.

Ria only realized of this when she stepped on the stair leading to the first floor. So, she just stood there and shouted, calling out to Sheila. It took the latter ten minutes to prepared before she exits the room with the console game still in her hand, but this time, she wore an entirely different set of clothes.

*Thump! Thump! Thump!*

”I'm here!”

She said with her eyes focused on the screen of the console game. 'Is the game event really special or something?' thought Ria, but she didn't ask and instead, decided to head down, of course, not before she was sure the latter is following right behind her properly this time. When they arrived in the living room, they saw Sara taking a sip of tea while watching the news on the TV.
