Love Live Online: A Bard Grudge
The Unexpected Meeting

Renne started walking through the path that led straight into the forest. There was no monster who came to him because he was still in an area that could be said to be safe even though sometimes there would be attacks, both robbers and Slime or Wolf who were targeted.

Renne made her eyes go around in all directions, looking for a medicinal plant that could be used to make Grandpa Zou recover. Because there was no plant in question, he went back on his way to the forest not far from the village.

「Entering The Forest.」 area

The forest sounds so crowded. A wide variety of voices could be heard so clearly by Renne. The sound of birds singing makes his mood improve again. The coolness of the forest also added to the calmness of his heart.

However, he was unable to rest in peace. The medicinal plant that Grandpa Zou was looking for should be found immediately. Plus, he had to leave immediately from there given the high probability that some monsters would come attacking him.

Sure enough, Renne had not been able to walk quietly, a wolf came intending to pounce and prey on her.

「Wolf

Level: 2

HP: 200/200.」

Saliva from the wolf was seen flooding the mouth and dripping onto the ground. Apparently, he was already impatient to prey on the girl before him as breakfast.

Not wanting to end up tragically eaten by a wolf, Renne took out a dagger obtained from the merchant yesterday. Equipped with serrated parts in the body of the knife, as well as with a longer handle than other knives make this knife seem unique and easier to hold.

Renne has learned from her last experience. The moment where he foolishly killed a weak Slime. Fortunately, Grandpa Zou and the merchant did not laugh at him.

The wolf began to jump to immediately pounce on Renne's body. However, as Renne prepared herself, she lowered her body and jumped to avoid the attack range. Then, he then pointed the knife right in the heart of the wolf. In a moment the wolf screamed in pain and lay on the ground.

「Fine level 2.」

Renne went back on her way. This is not a time when he should relax. His eyes went around looking for something he was looking for. Then he stopped under a very tempting apple tree. Renne tried to catch on but it didn't work. Tired, he decided to sit there resting without being able to eat the apples.

Something just caught my attention, a plant that looks like a ginger plant. Renne immediately approached him and retracted and retracted his roots. A notification just told the name of the plant it got.

「Getting Forest Ginger.」

「Collect 99 more medicinal plants to get the skills of Beginners Herbalism.」

He already knows very well the usefulness of Forest Ginger because he is a professional player. That way, Renne immediately rushed to retrieve the entire plant she saw. One by one he pulled the ginger and put it into storage.

It did so to gain the skill of Herbalism Beginners which was extremely advantageous for a player. With that skill, not only did it improve the quality of the medicinal plants picked, but it also allowed him to no longer buy Health Potions from NPCs or other players.

「Get the skills of Beginners Herbalism.」

“Finally!”

However, his footsteps faltered when he saw that three wolves had already blocked his path. A part of the wolf looked bloodthirsty and would soon eat the young girl in front of him.

They, Renne and the wolves had feigned before they could attack each other. The girl immediately ran to avoid every single one of the ferocious wolves and managed to hit one of them even though it was not a fatal attack.

Renne was in the middle of the wolf. His current position was extremely unfavorable and would make it difficult to notice any movements from his enemies. He twisted his body and continued to pay attention to the wolves and eventually they carried out attacks simultaneously.

The girl suddenly gasped, she was not ready to fend off the attack simultaneously carried out by the wolf. One, one tail successfully deflected. Two, now two wolves have been beaten back. But when he was about to defeat the last wolf, Renne was instead hit by an attack on his arm.

He was pushed to the ground. The wolf then directly occupied his body and wanted to eat Renne immediately. As with his friend, the other wolves also immediately pounced on the girl.

Renne can only thrash around, not wanting to end up being defeated by these unsteady wolves. Renne closed her eyes, hoping for a miracle to happen and helped her to continue the Story Quest given by Grandpa Zou.

And after she felt the wolf stop attacking, Renne opened her eyes and was stunned by the presence of a man she knew.

“Dyon..” The word suddenly came out of his mouth when he saw the whereabouts of the man he knew. The man who betrayed himself two years later.

Suddenly the man then tilted his head in wonder, “Have we met before? Why do you know my name?”

“Ah.. Excuse me.. Thank you..” Renne suddenly became dazed on her own because she was too busy thinking about her heart and the person who betrayed her and immediately ran away from the place.

“Wait!” Dyon tried to stop the girl from using the line but in the end, he did not get the slightest attention.

****

Renne was already far away from the place where Dyon was. He did not want to deal with the man and would take revenge at the right time, the moment where he already felt great enough to be able to defeat 500 people at once in just one strike.

His hunting breath, it had been a very long time since Renne had run this fast. And in the end he arrived in front of Grandpa Zou's house with a frenzy. He immediately entered without hesitation.

“Kek, I'm back.” Renne tries to find out where the old man is, but gets no answer. Feeling worried, Renne walks towards the room and finds Grandpa Zou resting.

****

After almost 2 hours passed, Renne had managed to process the ginger into a drink that warms the body. And by the time he returned to the grandfather's room, Grandpa Zou had already woken up from his sleep.

“Kek, I've returned with some medicinal plants and made this drink, please try.” Renne served the ginger drink on the nightstand.

“Thank you, if there's no you, I don't know what else to do.” Grandpa Zou smiled wryly and then drank a drink made by Renne.
