《A Curious Case of Mobs Extra》Chapter Six
Advertisement
Several times I almost lost sight with senior Eva. I push on until I found her again around the corner of the stations. It took us sometimes, and when I saw the exit, I let out a grateful breath of my own. Calling the central station huge is a little bit understatement. The station is massive, people move about all the time without some regard of others. The cargo moving in and out of the train, luggage, and who knows what made the stations quite a dangerous place to navigate if you don't know where to go to. Exited the stations, Eva brought me toward one of a taxi pick up point.
It does tell you something when a sect is so big, it has its own public transportation system for his disciples and inhabitants. The train to move about from one island to another is somewhat already over the top but cliche enough to not be too much cultural shock for me. However, when I get to the taxi stands, I kinda freak out minute there. What I see there shock me so much, I need to take several deep breath to not get a panic attack about what type taxi provided by the sect inhabitants. You might say I failed miserably.
"Are you alright?" I asked Eva noticing my distress.
"Not really, What is that?" I asked pointing toward the taxi stands. "There seems to be a snake monster crawling around doing who know what. Why doesn't anybody try to kill it?" I asked with a little bit of urgency because I kind have a little bit of phobia about snakes.
"Oh...that was our taxi." She said grinning like a devil finding a new toy. She moves toward me in an instant and grabs my shoulders to prevent me from running away.
"Damn woman, let me go! You can asked me to gutted a monster fish on a high-speed train. You can throw me over 50 feet high cliff, and you can order me to do anything that humanly possible but I will never take a step on that thing." I protested vehemently but sadly it falls into deaf ears. It is not my decision that counts since I live in a cruel world. A world where a ten years old voice means nothing if his suffering became an entertainment for the stronger being. A world where might make right. I finally taste what to be an extra character for the first time in this world.
Eva grabbed my shoulders and jump on the snake taxi. It has been waiting for customers for quite sometimes, waiting. My mind instantly went overdrive, there is only one sentence that keeps appearing on my mind, I'm riding a twenty-foot snake as wide as my child body and probably can eat me whole. I tried to calm down but I failed spectacularly. Before my mind black out completely, I just found out that the snakes are not the most ridiculous taxi out there. There is a yeti behind the snake, a giant turtle, a type T ford car, and the most ridiculous among them, an x-wing fighter spaceship from star wars. What is wrong with this world. Everything is so weird and random. I black out not long after.
**************************
A sound of yelling woke me up from my unconsciousness. When I open my eyes, I saw one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen before in my life. Her red hairs, a mature curves, and her blue eyes made me quite interested to know her more. Even with me trying to stand up as slow as I can to avoid some awkwardness, both of them heard me woke up as clear as the sky.

"You're finally awake! I'm sorry about what happened to you. I scolded Eva because of her stupid prank, she causes you much distress." She apologized for Eva's behavior. "I'm Scarlett Lionheart, the mother of this impulsive girl." Mrs. Lionheart said while grinding her knuckle on Eva's head. Realizing her impulsive action of punishing her daughter in front of someone else, she quickly straightens herself.
"Nice to meet you too, Mrs. Lionheart... I'm Mobs Extra. Thank you for saving me. I don't even know my phobia will be that severe." I stated. I was ashamed because in my moment of weakness, in a moment of panic I revealed my true self. My fear of snakes always been real problems. I even can't be looking at snakes on television moreover riding one. This weakness will cost me my life someday. How many monsters in this world that will look like snakes. If I faint when trying to fight them, it will cost me more than I allow it to be. I need to curb the phobia as soon as possible. I look Eva in the eyes and do a slight bow to her. "I'm sorry senior Eva when I lose control of myself in front of my weakness. I know now that I need to solve my problem with my fears as soon as possible. Thank you, for showing me what I need to do to change myself better. Thanks again for the experience."
"Don't wor...Oww!" Eva howled when Mrs. Lionheart just starts smacking her head in front of me again. "I mean... I'm sorry for being a jerk, forcing you to do something you don't want to do. Even if it was funny."
"Good. Now, why don't you show him his the table. The breakfast time is ending soon. Go eat something before you go do whatever you want." Mrs. Lionheart ordered both of us out from the back room of the kitchen. It seems, Eva brought me into her mom's office behind the inn's kitchen.
"Yes, mom." She answered. I can't still wrap around my head that this beautiful and gorgeous woman is already a mother of sixteen or seventeen years old girl.
Eva brought me to the empty table at the corner of the inn's bar. She told me a little bit about Leaping carp's Inn. The inn belongs to her family for a long time. As long as she can remember, she always grows up around the inns' workers and customers. Her mother, the MILF known as Mrs. Lionheart came to the Sky Crow Sect as a young gourmet hunter. Then, one thing let to another, she pregnant with me, and just deciding to settle down and opens the Leaping Carp's Inn. We talk some more about her life in the sect, her cultivation and other things related to her life in general. During our talk, I still do not notice where her father is. By the logic of the so-called web novel and light novel. In this case, Scarlett Lionheart is one hundred percent a widow. Her late husband probably from some ancient nobility's family. Either both Scarlett and Eva are hiding from Scarlett's husband or both of them hiding from the Lionheart family enemies.
"Hey, what do you want for breakfast?" Eva asked broking my line of thought from sprawling into the never return territory.
"I don't know, surprise me," I said to Eva while smiling about the possibility. She grinned as a response when I say it like that. I just hope that she do nothing over the top. Whom I kidding, Its Eva. Even I know her only just for several hours, I know what she capable of. Let's cross my fingers and hope for the best.

My table is located a the corner of the bar near the kitchen. The customers already slowing down by the look of it. However, the kitchen staff still busy as ever. From the sound of the kitchen staff, there is a big order from their loyal customers and they struggle to meet the task. By the look of it, they will not surrender until they complete the orders.
"Here's the foods." Eva heaved with a painful look on her face.
"What's wrong? what did you do this time?" I asked looking at her with a sympathetic look.
"I got caught by mom again. I want to bring you an eel as a joke." She dejected of her lost opportunity. I smiled looking at her antics. She really does act in line with her character's trope.
"Senior," I said looking straight into her eyes. "Always believe in yourself but be prepared to accept criticism. Changes are hard but sometimes, it is needed to face the changing world. Sometimes being stubborn has merits on its own, but sometimes it will be the reason of your fall. If you feel helpless and uncertain, asked for help. Promise me you be true of what your heart desire." I lectured Eva about her future life with the main characters in the future. I don't know what will happen in the future but I hope that she survives her story. "Promise?" I asked again while shaking her shoulders.
"Yes...alright. Jezz Mobs, you are a weird boy you know" She blurted. "Eat fast, you still owe me a filleting."
"Sure, No problem senior Eva." I said as ai smiled.
The food tastes great. A fish steak, hotdogs, eggs, and baked beans. Its a fulfilling for late breakfast. I know in my heart, I'll came by here again to eat this delicious food again.
We move outside into a backyard to continue the butchering process. Eva takes out all the tools, the same tools that I use before on the train. I laid all the tools on the table and asked Eva to take out the fish.
When the fish was laid on the table, I continued the filleting process. I start filleting from the upper neck and moving the knife toward the tails in one smooth fashion. The knife movement was repeated until all the meat separated from the bone completely. I need to ask Eva several times to pull the fish meat up for deboning because of how heavy the meat is for me to lift it alone. After finished the deboning process for both sides, I clean the rib bone from the fillets. Lastly, I asked for plyers from Eva and start to take out the bone on the fillet.
"Senior, can I keep the head and the bone?." I asked.
"Sure, you can take half the fish too."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I promise didn't I." she assured
"Yes you did, senior. So, how much do you think I can get for this whole fillet" I asked.
"Not much, maybe around 200 to 250 Riv. Around 3 Riv per kilo. They taste good, grow fast, breed plenty and attack everything that moves, so there plenty of them and easy to catch. Its like chicken of the river." Eva explained. "So, I can see that you has some experiences, how old are you again?"
"I'm fourteen, senior. I started doing this when I'm four, Ten years of experience will do that to you. So whats the fish called again?" I deflected the age question since saying my real age will appear too obvious about my otherworldly experience. I also think Eva slightly suspected of me to be a non-native on this world. A transmigrated person.
"I don't know, but people just called it chicken fish." She said with a grinned because of the pun used by her. "Let's go, we were late already, there is so much to do if this is your first time in the city. So, want to have a personal tour of the city by your gorgeous senior?"
"Sure, let me go to the bathroom first, then we can go after saying thanks and goodbye to your mom," I said laughing a little about her antics.
"Huh...Why do you want to see her again," she asked while staring at me with a dagger look.
"It is called being a good guest," I stated because my need to say thanks to Eva's mom.
"Yeah right, that what everybody said too." She grunted about what people have been doing to take advantage to get intimate relationship with her mother.
"Well, she saves me twice just this morning from a certain mischievous young girl. Seen fair to say my thanks in person before my departure." I replied with an earnest want to say thanks but I'll never let the opportunity to poke her just goes to waste. "Say, senior, what your opinion on having a fourteen years old father, hypothetically?"
"What!" she exclaimed about what I just said.
"Well, I certainly don't mind having a fourteen years old husband." said someone with a sweet voice meddling into our conversations.
"What!!!" sputtered Eva. "Wha...what just happened?"
We stayed in silence for several seconds and seem can't holding our laughter any longer. I broke into chuckled and Mrs Lionheart giggling with a very cute and adorable demeanor.
Looking at her acting like this ignite something in me. Well not just me, all the male kitchen staff stop doing their work bewitched with the spontaneous act showed by Mrs Lionheart. Maybe there is some truth in my question somehow but I force it down so hard into the earth core and leave it there because involve with both of them smells like disaster and destruction to me. I don't even know what type of story both of them involved with. I pray with all my heart for them to be in a rom-com story, not a tragedy or melodramatic genre. If the genre is the letter, god forbid. I want to live a long and stable life. Not some short and adventurous life.
"Eherm...Mrs. Lionheart, thanks again for your hospitality and saving me for the second time or so I have been told." I said my thanks to her. "I need to get going, there is much for me to do before I start my classes. Thanks again for your help and the food, it is delicious. I'll come to eat here again if I have some time later."
"No problems. You're a sweet guest and a friend of Eva. Came by here often, the Leaping Carp's inn always open to you." She said while doing a short bow with her head.
"Certainly Mrs. Lionheart. I will." I replied.
"Good, and call me Scarlett next time." She replied with the sweetest and gorgeous smiled I have ever seen in my life. For the second time, the male kitchen staff stops doing their work but this time, not because of what Mrs Lionheart do. Because they want to kill me with their glares.
"Arghh! Mother! stop doing that again!" Eva suddenly butt in on our conversation. She decides to drag me by the collar for our tour and stuff. I wave goodbye toward Mrs. Lionheart for the last time. Even though I promise to come again, I don't know I will do it or not. Only time will tell.

Legends of Balarel - A Leisurely LitRPG
Glenn Redwood has longed to become an Adventurer since he was a young boy, and has focused every waking moment on that goal since turning 14. Answering the challenge of the Gods of Balarel, he has fought Monsters, Leveled, and grown stronger. Yet the day before his 16th birthday, the day he will earn his dream or lose it forever ... the Gods have made a wager. And no mere mortal wishes to draw the attention of the Gods. ***** This is my crack at writing a leisurely LitRPG. My focus is more on telling interesting stories set in a world where people live under a MMORPG-like ruleset enforced by the Gods, and less on writing another story where the MC gets massive stat boosts every chapter before heading off to wreck the world. There will be plenty of blue tables (it’s LitRPG!) but my Adventurers are just starting out. This fic is about the journey, not the destination, so expect everyone to Level ... leisurely. Updates: M-T-W-Th. I’ll post 3000-4000 words a day, or 12000-15000 words a week. If this posting pace ends up being too much for me, I reserve the right to slow posts down a bit. Inspirations: Blessed Time (Royal Road) Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In a Dungeon? (Anime) Trails in the Sky (JRPG Series) MC: My MC is a genuinely good person who’s both a talented warrior and tactically savvy. He prefers to solve problems without violence but will resort to force if necessary to protect his friends or innocent people. I’m tired of stories starring anti-hero MCs facing endless doom and gloom, so I wanted to write a nice guy with an adventurous spirit who helps people in a thriving fantasy world. That’s all.
