Chapter 114 One Proud Happy Family
Chapter 114 One Proud Happy Family
?
Victoriously, Scarlet logged out of the virtual world and returned to the reality. The minute she took the helmet off, she jumped up and down victoriously, she even somersaulted twice to celebrate.
"Yes, yes, yes." She kept chanting. She run out of the room and saw her brother Beord and out of happiness she screamed and launched herself into his arms.
"I won." She screamed. "Big brother I won."
"I saw." He replied and he placed her on top of his shoulders just as Adler and himself used to do when she was a little girl. "I believed in you right from the beginning." He declared boisterously.
"Aaaaaah, haha." She screamed and laughed, raising her hands in the air. Even though this was conduct unbecoming of a governor she did not care. She may not have broken any special records today but her name was out there. It would not be long before she climbed her way to the top of the champion roll in division one and then she would enter division two. Someday, she vowed in her heart, she would stand at the top of division three and be crowned queen of the mecha fights.
As the citizens left the virtual world more and more, the loud noise of joy echoed from many corners. The original citizens of the blue star were proud because their governor had not put them to shame. Even if this was just division one, she had put the blue star planet on the virtual mecha fights map. Nobody on this planet had ever tried to do so before. The new citizens were equally proud, the blue star was their home now and the governor's victory was their victory.
"That was so cool." One girl in a group of female teenagers said.
"Did you see that awesome power kick?"
"It should be called a wind blast kick." Another said. They screamed and jumped around in a circle while holding hands.
As for the boys, they were discussing the same issue while trying hard to look cool. "The hound is a cool name." One boy said. His hands were in the pockets of his trousers.
"Yeah, the dog on the back of her robe armor is cool too, it has big fierce teeth." Another said.
"Her moves were pretty sweet, it was especially awesome when she was fighting the machine. She sliced the amour in many places, the machine must be pretty pissed."
"Who do you think she will challenge next?" Another asked.
"I don't know but I can't wait, next time I will take my allowance and bet on the governor. I heard that the supermarket is expanding and there will be more things to buy soon. I feel so broke over here than I ever did in the capital."
Adler was listening to the young girls and girls discuss the fight as she hurriedly walked by to find his amazing little sister. That little girl had given him quite a surprise that was unexpected. Her husband was doing a great job in training her.
He saw her on top of Beord's shoulders, she was smiling with an innocent face like one of those kittens in the house after drinking some milk, just before they went to sleep.
"Hey champion." He yelled and flew over to meet her. She screamed and launched herself at him, almost missing his arms and falling down. "Be careful." He said. "You have more fights to win."
She nodded so eagerly that he worried she would break her neck. He chuckled at her carefree but slightly careless actions.
"Congratulations." He said.
"Thank you." She replied with a smile so wide that her front teeth were all exposed. Then she opened her mouth and screamed "Daddy, over here."
Dorian Su came running and he took her from Adler's arms and hugged her. "Oh my baby girl, you made me so proud." He said. She could hear tears in his voice and she lifted her head up to see if he was actually crying. She caught him wiping the corners of his eyes with one of his mother's handkerchiefs.
"Father, are you crying?" She asked him.
"I am feeling proud of you, you have accomplished so much this year. I want to meet your teacher so much and thank him. I will even get on my knees if that's what he wants" Dorian Su was feeling extremely emotional.
"Move, I want to hug my daughter too." Mega pushed her husband away and she hugged Scarlet. "I was so worried that you would be injured." She said. "You can still feel the pain from the fights you know."
Carolyn came and so did Elroy and Fey. Scarlet was passed around like a doll from one person's arms to another.
"Give me your weapons they don't have energy stones and that could be dangerous later on. The higher you climb the more difficult things will get. We need to find a way to access high quality energy stones to make appropriate changes especially to the battle axe. I don't know if I can do anything for the whips but I will see."
Even though she knew that they were perfect, Scarlet was still touched that her sister wanted to sharpen her weapons for her.
"Big sister." She said in a childish voice and she hugged Carolyn again. "Thank you for caring about me." They never discussed anything personal, hung out together or even shared a meal but Carolyn always came through when she needed her to do something.
"Stop being a baby." Carolyn tried to push Scarlet off her body but Scarlet refused to let go.
"Big sister, after husband leaves for the capital I will come back and sleep in your bed occasionally. You have to comb my hair and sing to me like you used to do when we were children."
Carolyn knocked on Scarlet's head with her knuckles.
"Aww." Scarlet looked up at her and pouted.
" Go and share mother's bed." Carolyn said. "I don't have time."
Elroy shuffled close and said, "Our father will chase her out with a shoe in his hand, he is possessive when it comes to his wife."
Elroy too was knocked on the head by an embarrassed Dorian. "Shut up you brat."
Many people were watching this with much interest, their eyes never Scarlet, including her husband.
