A rainbow poured out of Jake''s mouth.
He was on his four, wing the carpet and sweating bullets. What he had been swallowing and keeping in himself during his conversation with The Emperor came out immediately after the door behind him closed.
Viktor patted Jake''s back, sneering at him.
The guard didn''t even bat an eye.
As for the maid, she nonchntly whipped out her utensils to clean the mess. She''d use magic to store Jake''s fluids in a box that would soon be thrown into a bin or fire.
These two were used to notable nobles vomiting right away after meeting The Emperor. Someone like Jake, a newbie and low-level yer, was given to react the same, if not worse.
Jake stood up while keeping a hand on his lips, apologizing for the mess. He didn''t want to cause more problems and was secretly relieved that no one hadmented.
"You can walk?" Viktor asked.
"Yeah," Jake nodded.
His vision spun only for a few seconds before the positive effects of The Royal Tea kicked in. Jake''s mana points and mana regeneration permanently and exceedingly increased.
It was worth going onto four and vomiting like a drunkard for those effects!
"Nothing''s keeping us here. Let''s leave the castle," Viktor said.
It was a cue to the guard that he no longer wanted to stay in the castle. The man silently nodded and led them out of the castle, moving like a programmed machine.
It was easily seen that he took pride in his gait.
Once outside, Jake inhaled deeply. "An air of freedom."
"Tastes the sweetest," Viktor added.

These two didn''t talk much. It wasn''t because Jake and Viktor were worried that their conversation would go astray and end up with them arguing over pointless things.
Jake needed to call his friends through the game system to tell them about his conversation with The Emperor.
Viktor was of the thought that he shouldn''t share his thoughts about other guilds with Jake yet.
An old voice tore through the silence between them. "Yer back!"
"Ah, Master Aaron!" Jake looked over his shoulder before spinning around and greeting the old man. "I wanted to visit you tomorrow! How did you know I was back?"
Aaron heartilyughed, "I''ve drank with various people in Last Night! I have more connections than yer canprehend!"
Jake chuckled, "I see."
"Yer return and straight away request an audience with His Majesty! We have a new problem?" Aaron asked. He was a part of the team as he worked with new artisans of Asta Bow Household, teaching them about bows and arrows. He even met a few old faces and forced them out of retirement.
His time was fantastic.
Viktor harrumphed, "Opposite. We''re about to get richer."
"Hoho! I''m all ears, you two!" Aaron said, joining thete party.
The three headed to Sushi God''s booth to get sushi. It was their favorite food and something that connected them.
"Right," Jake said, his eyes on Sushi God. "You want a spot close to the teleport?"
Sushi God''s eyes glistened with tears. "Take all this sushi for free! You''ve helped me so much, Jake!"
"Haha! It''s nothing," Jake chuckled. "Your sushi means a lot to us. You also be so good that the sushi''s effects are better than average support''s buffs! You improved so much, bro."
"Thanks!" Sushi Godughed. "I take you up on it!"
Meanwhile, Viktor''s face turned rigid. Howe he didn''t think of that? It was true that hisnd had various artisans, alchemists, and other businesses. He should bring them close to the teleport and ensure his family benefited the most!
''The old hag must be nning that. If Ie up with the initiative, she will cut some ck for me. Great,'' Viktor inwardly sneered.
Aaron had been staring at him all this time.
He shook his head. "Who''s older in this rtionship, and who''s supposed to be a master?"
Viktor harrumphed, "He''s lots to learn from me."
"Ye, ye," Aaron jokingly said.
The evening ended with Jake making ns to meet Master Aaron tomorrow. He relished sushi and casual talks about the tournament and how much things had changed in Asta Bow''s household in this short time.
After that, he logged out.

Jake took off his virtual reality helmet.
He was drenched in sweat.
"I wasn''t even that long in the game," Jake sighed. He picked up his phone to casually check social media, only to see that Meredith had messaged him a few times.
He grew pale. ''I should have called her before going to the game world! Wait, what''s the time in the UK?''
Putting a clock in the app for the UK''s time, Jake opened his social media and wrote to his girlfriend. He pinned the me on Damien and exined his conversation with the Emperor. He received a fewughing emotes after exining how he spat rainbows after The Royal Tea.
Meredith was away for a few minutes after Jake told her his mother had seen their photos and asked about her.
[Meredith: I haven''t told my parents about us yet.]
[Jake: No need to be so shy.]
[Meredith: Chloe snatched me for shopping, so I didn''t have time.]
[Jake: Excuses, excuses, my sweetest!]
[Meredith: You said you wanted to meet her. We took a few photos for you.]
Those photos were amusing because Jake could see that Chloe wanted to show how close they were as friends. She was so cuddly that even Jake grew jealous at times.
Regarding Chloe''s appearance, she was like the opposite of Meredith. Her skin was darker, her hair was ck, and even her chest was as t as a desk. It was rude to think like that, so Jake dispelled those thoughts.
It was nice to see them enjoying their time, though.
Meredith only had two close friends, so Jake kept his jealousy in check.
Chloe had also helped Meredith a lot when she was down after Triple M''s incident. She had confessed that to Jake.
[Jake: I have not seen you stiff like that in person. And keep calling her Loe Loe since you already slipped.]
[Meredith: I called her with this intimate nickname, and you saw how she became. Next time, I''ll ask her boyfriend toe with us so he keeps her in check…]
Jake clicked his tongue. He wanted to be here, too!
