Chapter 53: The Lady Boss Arrives
"What do you mean?" Misho asked.
He was curious about it. He wanted to learn more about this world. It would be a great advantage if he found out more about it.
"I would rarely encounter Essence Sea cultivators. I only got two Essence Sea cultivators in my caravan. I couldn’t believe it when Jabber and WristRose told me they were one. Having them was a huge help," the merchant explained with a frown on his face.
"That is indeed weird."
Misho got a lot of clues from the merchant’s words. The effects of the players arriving into this world seemed to have already started showing. Maybe that bandit was a result of it.
"Anyways, I’m QuarterPounder. I don’t think I ever introduced myself to you," Misho decided to introduce himself.
It was kind of awkward for him not to know the name of the merchant. After all, he was giving him a ride.
"My name is Joga. I’m just a humble merchant from Evergreen City. I’ve already heard a lot about your past exploits from Trepe," Joga replied as he smiled humbly.
Misho stared at Joga intently. Now that he knew his name, he seared his physical appearance into his mind.
Joga wore a leather chest plate with a lot of loose fabric hanging around, it seems. As for his lower half, he wore loose pants. His clothing looked weird, but somehow, it was fashionable. He kind of looked noble.
"Alright. I think I’ve disturbed your rest. We still have to depart early tomorrow," Joga said as he turned around.
"Thanks for having us."
Misho was very courteous to the merchant. He found him to be likable due to his humbleness.
"Misho, what kind of clothes do you think we will wear in the future?" Maia asked.
She was genuinely curious. She was very into fashion, just like many women. She noticed the merchant’s weird clothing when he got closer to them. It was very unlike what they had in their world.
"I’m not sure. Maybe something weird. But I think it will work out fine."
Misho wasn’t worried about wearing weirdly looking clothing. The fact that the merchant wore a noble-looking set of clothing suggested that they would still be decent. The only problem would be their unfamiliarity with the fashion concept.
"I’m excited, Misho..! I’m so glad we both played this game simultaneously," Maia said and smiled.
Misho fell into a daze as he stared at her cute baby face. Now that he thought about it, she was charming. He was too blind to miss that years ago.
"Misho?"
"Yes. I’m also glad. My time here wouldn’t be as enjoyable without you," Misho replied as he smiled at her.
He felt confident and smooth tonight. Maybe it was because he learned a lot about a different world.
"Awww..."
Maia deeply blushed. She felt her heart melt from his words.
"Your reward, hehe."
Maia sat up and leaned towards Misho. She closed her eyes and gave him a soft kiss.
"Goodnight, Misho. I will meet you on the other side," Maia said as she snuggled back inside her sleeping bag. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"Goodnight."
Misho was quite happy to receive her kiss. Having her as his girlfriend boosted his confidence by a lot.

Misho hopped out of the capsule. He was feeling energetic because of that last scene before they slept. A total of 8 hours had already passed since he entered the game.
7 AM
"Ughh... I just remembered my job. I wonder when will they contact me?" Misho muttered to himself.
If he called them to tell them he was quitting the job, it would be very awkward. He would rather they call him to say he was fired.
[*Beep* A call from Kiera Steelheart.]
A robotic voice sounded through Misho’s room. It was his home assistant notifying him.
"Oh shit!"
Misho instantly regretted uttering those words earlier. He didn’t expect to summon the devil.
Misho grabbed his phone on the bed and reluctantly took the voice call.
"Hello?"
[Are you tired of living?] a deep-toned woman’s voice sounded through the earpiece. She sounded really angry.
"I quit."
Misho wasn’t willing to speak to her for a longer period of time. He was terrified of her reprimanding him continuously.
[That’s not how it works! Look, you’re delaying our company’s projects by skipping work! You can’t quit unless you deal with this mess!] Kiera shouted.
"But isn’t it company policy to fire an employee if they are AWOL?" Misho asked in a tiny voice. [AN: AWOL = Absent Without Leave]
She was like a tigress that was about to kill him. He didn’t try to shout back at her because he knew what kind of person she was. When she got angry, she would let you know how angry she was.
[...Did you go AWOL on purpose?] Kiera asked as she calmed down.
"...Do you want me to be honest?" Misho asked, not knowing whether to lay out the facts or not.
[Hmph. Open the door. We will talk.]
The call hung up.
Misho stared at his phone and widened his eyes in disbelief.
*Ding dong*
Misho looked out towards the front door and widened his eyes even more.
"There’s no way... F*ck! F*ck!"
Misho looked around his room to find somewhere to hide. If she was here in person, that meant she was really angry.
It kind of reminded him of his mother back in his youth. She was just like this; very scary when angry.
"Hey!! I know you are there! I checked your SPS location!" Kiera shouted through the door.
[AN: SPS = Solar Positioning System]
Misho didn’t respond back. He still decided to continue acting as if he wasn’t at home.
"Home Assistant, open the door."
[Opening door.]
"Wait! Why are you listening to her!?" Misho exclaimed in disbelief.
The front door unlocked, and the door opened. A tall and curvy woman stepped into his apartment. Her boobs were quite exaggerated together with her thiccc ass.
She was slightly taller than Misho. And she had the face of beauty. As for her clothing, it fit her well. A tight leather clothing, and a skirt with fishnet leggings. She was the very definition of a dommy mommy. [AN: A dominating woman.]
