“So you planned to call it  Zoe's Atelier?” The pink-haired thing nodded her head as if she was answering her own question. “I think you can continue to do that. Think about it. We will only have two blocks or more, correct? So when we finally establish our organization, we can use this as our main source of income along with the dungeon. People who find things in the dungeon can then turn around and sell the items to us or pay us to make the items into something. So, if we focus our organization on just crafting, we may even be able to pull in some of the best crafters in the game. Of course, that will be on us to be able to be at the top first.”

I am starting to wonder if all pink-haired things are business geniuses…. What she just said makes a lot of sense. If we can monopolize the crafting industry and craft items before anyone else, we will be able to truly be at the top. Even the big three would want to hire us. I couldn’t help but type out: “What have you done with my pink-haired thing? Who are you?”

“What do you mean by that!? And Zoe, my name is Angel! You have even said it a few times!” Hearing her retort and seeing her pouty expression puts me at ease. So it was the same old pink-haired thing. 

“Anyway, your idea is very good. But to do all of this, we will need also be at a very high level, or people will look down on us. We have to remember at all times the future is strength makes right. There is no law when it comes to the strong. They can do as they please. While the big three will have some laws in place to protect those under their influence, it is still not like it is today. If someone kills someone, there is no court or jail. If someone is strong enough, those doing patrol will just look the other way. As two girls, we will be looked down on, so we need to be as strong as possible.” I took a deep breath. It was too much to type, so I just explained it all in one go. Luckily, I did not stutter. 

But as I looked over at the pink-haired thing…. She had tears rolling down her cheeks. I picked up my phone and typed: “Why are you crying? Did your parents die?”

    “Why are you typing on the phone again!? Your angelic voice! I heard so many words in such a voice. My heart is melting.” There is really something wrong with this pink-haired thing. How can a person's voice make a person's heart melt?

    “Should I call a doctor? You sound like you have a serious disease.” Of course, I had to tease her.

“Whatever! I know you are just being mean, so I will ignore you.” The pink-haired thing is something else. I do like teasing her but it is actually quite fun with her around. Bantering like this has actually made me enjoy life since… I do not even remember….

I couldn’t help but allow my lips to curl up into a smile as I looked at her. I guess since she is helping me so much, I can do her a little favor just this once. “Angel…. Thanks….”

“I’m sorry, but now it is my turn to ask you what have you done with my Zoe!? Where do you put her!? Bring her back!” I should have kept my mouth shut. Why is she shaking me so much? I think I might get shaking sickness. Is this a new kind of PHT disease?

In the end, she ended up hugging me after pushing me down on the couch. By hug, I mean lying on top of me. I didn’t push her away, though. I figured the pink-haired thing still needed a reward. Why she was so clingy, I will never understand, but skinship like this was not too bad once and a while.

“Okay, enough!” I pushed her off me after one minute. She pouted slightly, but it’s whatever. I quickly sent her a message: “We can’t waste any more time. So go home and log in.”

“Hey, can I just log in here? I will sit on the couch. It just seems easier to do during the day. At night, I will go home as normal.” The pink-haired thing really makes no sense. She would need to go home to get her headset anyway, so she would waste more time going back and forth. 

    “Just log in at your house. If you remember to bring it over tomorrow, you can do that, but for today, let’s get things rolling. We need to move to Rain Stone Village before anyone else. There are a few unique quests there that will help you greatly. They are geared towards mages.” I typed out on my phone. There were three quests total, and they were all very good skills for mages, like mana meditation. It would allow the pink-haired thing to meditate to expand her mana pool. What was unique about this skill was that it could be used offline. Then, there was parallel casting. This skill is so she could cast two spells at once or more if she can already do such a thing. It was basically upgrading her ability to cast magic. Lastly was the golem creation spell. This would come in handy in many ways, in and out of the game, like an automated guard dog.
