The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 176 - The Other Side
...The Merapi Peak...
...21.29...
We all got out of the car. In front of us was a pretty beautiful restaurant. Although built very simply, it has no walls, and only made of wood, but this restaurant seems to have its own beauty value.
“Alright, we'll split up here. Mr. Jarwo and Lisa, please enjoy your rest. So do you two.” I said as I glanced towards Rina and Rendy.
But far beyond my expectations….
“Good sister. Come on Rendy, we secure the position on the top floor.” Said Rina while pulling Rendy's hand.
“Don't Rina hate him?” I ask myself.
But Elin only laughed lightly without answering him.
We sat down on one of the chairs on the corner of the first floor. The view is beautiful. With fairly dim lights and cold air from these mountains, make the atmosphere so comfortable.
Elin sat in front of me. This small wooden table does not make comfort disappear. It just makes me closer and more comfortable with my wife.
“Order Mr.” Said one of the servants in this place.
After a while of looking at the menu, Elin and I had agreed.
“Two cups of typical arabica coffee Merapi, then a plate of fried. Which is still hot ya.” Said Elin briefly while pointing at the waiter.
“Please awaited.”
After giving that remark, the waiter immediately went to prepare the order for the two of us.
But at the time I was still enjoying the view of the forest that was quite dark….
“Hei, Eric. Do you think they're aware of who we really are?” Elin asked with a face that was smiling cunningly.
‘This boy...’ I thought inwardly looking at his expression.
“Entahlah, what if you are not aware? We're here to enjoy this atmosphere anyway, right? Don't worry about such a small thing. It's good if no one realizes it because I don't want the atmosphere to be noisy.” I reply while pointing towards the crowd of customers of this place.
“Hah…. You're not that exciting, are you? Usually if in the movies it will happen something where people will underestimate us! Then we will suddenly reveal the identity that in fact we are very rich! Then...”
Elin kept throwing her babble. Honestly, I don't think watching too many movies is good for him.
“Elin. This is the real world. If we treat others well, they will also treat us well. After all it is useless to underestimate a stranger who..”.
But before I could finish my words….
“Pe-excuse..”.
A young couple seemed to be approaching my desk. They seemed to give a slightly embarrassed and fearful expression. Even so, there was a great light of hope in their eyes.
“Yes? What's up?” Short reply.
“Are you two…. Don't-don't…. Mr Erik and Miss Elin?” Ask the young man.
“If yes why?” My question's short.
“Bi-can we ask for a photo together?!”
‘Aah…. So this is what I meant? It would be troublesome if everyone here requested a photo together.’
After thinking for a moment….
“Hahaha! Stupidhead! How could a rich person like Erik eat in a place like this?! I'm just messing with you!” Reply with a laugh.
After a while showing a confused face, the young couple laughed.
“Ahahaha…. Right too, huh? How could a great person like them want to eat in a place like this…. Forgive us both for interrupting.” Said the young man while slightly bowing his body.
“Quiet only.”
But behind all that, I saw the figure of Elin who was smiling with satisfaction. No. gabe…. More precisely the smile that mocked me.

...The World Re:Life...
“Hmm…. So this is how to use it?” Ask a woman with red hair, Scarlet.
In front of him, there were over 100 goblins lined up neatly.
One of the goblins with a sizable body was immediately fulfilling Scarlet's call.
“Your command...” That Goblin.
“Two villages around. I'll call an extra 200 goblins for you. At least, you can do it right?” Scarlet asked with a look that seemed to demean her.
“With soon.”
‘Eric…. I don't know what you've been doing all this time with your call monster but…. I'll show you how to properly utilize them! As the bonus, I'll use your name for it.’
Scarlet continued to smile broadly after thinking about that.
‘For starters, I will seize the Kingdom that has been crippled by this war! Ah, what a pity the fate of this Farna Kingdom. It's a pity that I can't approach Lesta City to meet the Necromancer but…. I'll force my way in there!’
And so….
A very troublesome matter was going on in that virtual world.
Without Scarlet noticing, Eric's eyes and ears were there continuously working hard.
Including one of the goblins pretending to be a Field Monster near where Scarlet is hiding it.
‘I must report this immediately to Mr Oliver and Mr Knox!’ The Goblin thought as she glanced towards Scarlet's hideout.
...***...
...A few days later in the Virtual World...
...City Forgia...
...Farna Kingdom...
...Royal Palace...
“Excuse me, Your Grace. A report from the reconnaissance squad in the North area has been up.” Said a soldier.
“Random for me.” Said King Arlond who was still busy taking care of the documents along with some of his ministers at the big table.
“Based on the observation of the reconnaissance squad in the North, they mentioned that there were Goblin monster attacks in several villages! The damage done was quite severe with the death of the entire village and the loss of all their possessions! Then...”
‘Braaak!!’
Arlond hit the table hard.
“What did you say? Goblin Attack?! Then where are the troops on standby there?!” Arlond asked as he walked closer to the soldier.
“Me-they've all been killed, Your Highness.”
“Autmost command for the whole army. Tell it well. Everyone must find out who the real mastermind of this Goblin raid is!” Shouted Arlond while writing something on the paper. Not to forget, he also gave the royal seal.
After receiving the scroll, the soldier immediately left the palace room and headed to the army barracks.
Meanwhile, Arlond was filled with resentment and anger.
‘I've heard of it…. If not, two months ago? That damn woman named Scarlet.... How dare he imitate Eric's skill?! I'll teach him a lesson!’
At that moment, Arlond immediately prepared his entire army. Not to kill Scarlet. But to arrest him and give him the punishment he deserves.
Meanwhile….

...The Merapi Peak...
...Midnight...
“Erik?!” Shouted Elin surprised.
“I hope you like this little gift of mine, Elin.” I said while pairing a gold necklace with a large enough diamond in the middle.
“Like! Really like! Aaaaaaa!!”
Seeing Elin who was so excited to receive this gift, I was happy and immediately hugged her tightly from behind.
