Chapter 156 Logging Back Into The Game
—–
After lunch was done, Elena apologized for having said that rude comment out of nowhere, she seemed to be polite enough to realize it was not a good thing to say to her mother. I am glad I taught my daughter some good etiquette, even though she still had done some bad things before…
“It’s okay, dear. I know I am a bit clumsy and all… You don’t have to worry.” I said, petting her head.
“You’re not clumsy… Well, a bit… But still, you do a lot… I… I’ve been thinking about things a bit more. I’m sorry…” Elena said timidly, she was probably trying to muster the courage because it embarrassed her.
“Hehe, I bet it is Anna who is helping you reconsider things?” I whispered to her ear.
“T-That’s not it… Well, a bit…” She said again.
She’s very predictable.. Anna has been a good friend, though I’ve heard she’s a bit too overly protective of her. However, with Elisa joining the friend duo, it seems she’s slowly getting less and less overprotective with Elena. Or Elena is getting friendlier with her schoolmates? Well, whatever’s the case, things are good.
“Hehe, make sure to take good care of your friends, Anna.” I said. “They’re precious people that will bring you a lot of light in your life. Of course, I’ll do anything I can to make you have a good life, but sometimes there’s things that only friends can do.”
“Hm… I get it, don’t get so corny…” She said while blushing a bit, as I hugged my daughter and kissed her forehead.
After being fascinated by my daughter’s adorableness, they finally went to do their own business. The two girls decided to go play the game, and actually, I was going to do just the same.
But after a few experiments. Today I had heard a weird voice in the night, and in the morning, I somehow… made a plant grow. I don’t know if this is real or not, but it still lingers in my mind.
So when my daughter and her friend were back to their room, I walked outside the house with gardener clothes, and decided to go take out bad weeds so I can begin planting beautiful flowers and plants in my garden again.
I might not have a lot of free time, but this week I’ll have it, so I have to make sure I enjoy things even outside the game. With a small shovel I began moving the dirt around and took out the bad weed that had grown randomly over time.
Except that one that I saw grow bigger without any explanation at all. It was right there, with a beautiful flower. I didn’t even knew weed could make flowers… Is this really a weed plant? I’ve never seen one so tall and beautiful, honestly. I might as well leave it live in here for now.
And…
“Come on… grow bigger…! Unngh…! Please!”
I tried using magic again.
Of course, there were no results at all, no matter what I tried, nothing came out.
“Hahh~ I guess it is hopeless, isn’t it? I was just hallucinating… Yeah.”
Well, even then, I still will make a beautiful garden. I find it ironic that I have such a big farm in my game’s territory but not in my real-life backyard and front yard. So I’ll work hard to make it beautiful enough. I might even bring a tomato plant, potatoes, and even cabbage or carrots. I want to produce a bit of my own food as well. I got a big plot of land that my husband bought, so I have to use it to its maximum potential!
Maybe all the things I’ve learned from my family in the rural area and in the game can converge and aid me in making a little orchard in the city… I’ve always wanted to have my own farm to be honest, so maybe that’s why I’ve been making mine in the game grow over time and have enjoyed it so much. Now that its day and not night, I might be able to enjoy it better as well, as I’ve always found myself playing at night, which is slightly annoying…
After that, I walked back home and saw a notification on the chat app I had downloaded for the game. It allows players that are friends in the game to chat easily anywhere they are, even if not logged in. It also allows for the easy management of the equipment and items in the Inventory, and even to sell items in the Game Market very easily. Although I haven’t touched that part. There is even a shortcut to the forums, so it is very useful.

[Titan: Planta, it is already way past 3 PM, where are you? Achlys is already here. We said we would gather at 3 PM to complete the quest…] 𝚍n𝚘v𝚕.𝚘𝚛𝚐
[Planta: Oh right! I am so sorry! I’ll go right away! I was actually attending my back yard…]
[Titan: Oh, I see. Well, it’s okay. It is the weekend, there’s nothing wrong with looking at your irl stuff.]
[Planta: Right? You’re so nice to understand, Titan. Thanks a lot!]
[Titan: I-It is nothing, I am just treating you like I treat anybody]
[Planta: People is usually quite mean though, being just decent is already rare]
[Titan: I-I guess… Anyways, are you logging in or not?]
[Planta: Hahaha! I’m coming, wait for me!]

After sending those last messages, I rested over the bed and put on the Full Dive Helmet after locking the door of my room. Logging in, I was greeted by the beautiful Fairy Queen Palace, as I saw many fairies flying around, surprised that I suddenly materialized out of nowhere.
“Ah! Planta is back!”
“Lady Planta, welcome back!”
“So it’s true, Players go elsewhere and then can come back?!”
“Some say they go to the divine realm of the gods to rest…”
“H-Hello guys… I think that’s a bit of an exaggeration…” I sighed.
