Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 210: Exhausted

While they were walking down the street in the city, Sophia looked at Yonja looking at the different buildings and her eyes narrowed and she tapped him on the shoulder and he glanced at her with a smile on his face and she wiped her eyes.

"Yonja... What are you doing? I am hungry and tired, I don't want to walk much longer," She mumbled and he smiled then patted her on the head and her cheeks flushed and Nessa looked at them then smiled.

"Let's all have dinner together then go home, how about that?" Yonja asked.

"I am fine with that," Sophia responded.

"So are we, we will eat, then head home," Ian said and the others smiled as Yonja crouched down a bot and Sophia got onto his back and he lifted her up and the others smiled as they walked to a tavern where they went in and sat down as the waitress approached them.

"Guys, take what you want, treats on me," Yonja said and they smiled then took their orders.

After ordering what they wanted, they had to wait for a few minutes since the tavern had many people and some came before them.

"Nessa, don't sleep away, your eyes are closing," Ian said and she sighed before wiping them and Isamu looked at her and at the same time Terou woke up and she placed him with Isamu then stretched off.

"Relax, I am not going to sleep, but I really want to, I can only feel my bed right now," She replied and they laughed then Niva patted her on the shoulder.

"So, after we talk to the royals tomorrow, what are you going to do Nessa? Go on solo mission provided by the guild?" Yonja asked.

"I haven't thought much about that, but I guess I will or I might not, I don't know as yet after all I have my own things to take care of, the guild is just like a side job," She responded.

"You are still going to risk doing your business?" Sophia asked.

"Yeah, I need to get to the bottom of it or I might end up getting hurt, who knows, it's better to solve things before it's too late," She responded and Sophia smiled.

"Yeah, you're right about that, but you better be careful; we've all become friends as a result of our recent frightening experience; I hope we can all spend more time together, sometimes," Sophia said, and Nessa smiled and patted her on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I will be here for a while, that I am pretty sure about, we will get to hang out more often," Nessa replied before wiping her eyes, feeling sleepier.

"The tiredness is kicking in faster now, isn't it?" Niva asked.

"Yeah," Sophia responded.

"It's as if all I can think about is sleeping," Nessa said as the waitress brought their food and placed it on the table, then they thanked her before paying her and she returned to her work.

"This smells good," Ian said and they nodded, then took their share and Nessa gave Isamu and Terou theirs then they all began eating.

Despite enjoying their food and laughing and talking with one another, all they could think about was getting some sleep; they were becoming even more sleepy than before, which was understandable given that none of them had gotten enough sleep for many nights and their bodies were exhausted.

A while after, they finished eating and Nessa yawned as Isamu touched her and she glanced at him.

"Nessa are you going to be okay?" Sophia asked and Nessa smiled at her.

"I will be just fine, worry about yourself, Yonja you better take her home, make sure she gets there without falling down halfway," Nessa responded and Yonja chuckled.

"It's possible that it might happen to her so to be careful I will take her home, a sleepy person like her can be quite unpredictable," He said and they laughed then Nessa got up and stretched off.

"Are you guys ready to sleep in a nice and warm place tonight?" She asked as she patted Isamu and Terou on their heads and they nodded.

"Seems like they cannot wait, Nessa, well, I guess we should all head home now, good night guys," Yonja said.

"Good night," They replied after leaving the inn and going their separate ways.

Upon arriving back at the inn, Nessa checked in with the receptionist then went to her room where she locked the door and Isamu and Terou took their spots on the soft bed and she chuckled before placing her bag down.

"You guys make yourselves comfortable, no problem, for now, I am going to freshen up then I will go to sleep," Nessa said as Isamu stretched off and she grabbed her clothes, then went to freshen up.

"This matter with this diamond and so on, it appears to me to be more than just dangerous, I don't know what to say because I don't know her that well, but I do know I trust her, do you really think she will be okay dealing with all of this?" Terou asked, and Isamu glanced at him.

"So you're concerned about her? I understand, but I should let you know that everything that has come at her with all of its might thus far, she has fought through. I am a little concerned myself, she is going into different kingdoms every time to try and improve our lives more, that's dangerous but she won't back down, try not to worry so much, let's be there for her," He responded.

"All right, I will try my best to protect her for as long as I am by her side, I hope I am strong enough to do so to be honest," He said and Isamu patted him on his head.

A little while after, Nessa had finished taking her bath and she got dressed before exiting the bathroom and approaching the two.

"Well guys, I am going to call it a night now, good night to both of you," She said before patting their heads and getting into the bed.

"Good night," They replied and she smiled then covered herself with the blanket and within no time, they all fell asleep since they were very tired.
