NOVEL NEXT Volume 3 Chapter 6
Lunyuan Castle.
After a brief rest, Trafalgar set off immediately and finally arrived at Lunyuan in the early hours of the morning.
Having confirmed Amaliris’s safety through Caro Cat, Trafalgar believed he had no worries left.
The advantage of adventurers is revival… unless it’s a unique quest, there are few missions where dying once means failure. The task “Hero of the Twilight” probably isn’t one of those.
After pondering for a while, Trafalgar headed straight for Lunyuan Castle.
“Halt, the area ahead is Duke Borgia’s territory.”
“I am Baron Trafalgar of House Borgia, from Herst.”
Trafalgar showed his unique shield emblem, signifying his identity.
The guard’s face turned difficult, as rumors of Trafalgar aiding Anastasia and Amaliris had reached Lunyuan, but Trafalgar was still a noble, and the guard dared not treat him too harshly.
“Please inform the Duke that Baron Trafalgar seeks an audience.”
After a brief exchange, one guard went back to the castle.
It was late, and Trafalgar was somewhat surprised. Judging by their reaction, Duke Borgia hadn’t retired for the night?
Originally planning a response by tomorrow, perhaps he would meet the Duke himself tonight.
Soon, the guard hurried back.
“Baron Trafalgar, please enter.”
“…!”
“The Duke… wishes to meet you personally.”

【Yarn Ball: Are you there? Urgent!!!】
【Kiwi Fruit: What’s up?】
【Yarn Ball: Do you have contact info for Anna’s support team? Urgent! Waiting online!!!】
【Kiwi Fruit: …】
【Yarn Ball: Do you have it?】
【Your message was not sent successfully; the recipient may have blocked you.】
“No, no, no!”
Caro Cat wailed, hugging her head.
That fool brother was right. After weaving one lie, you need an even bigger lie to cover it up. Initially, to get closer to Anna, Caro Cat falsely claimed she was a member of Anna’s support team.
But actually… it was a lie.
Wanting a reason to stay close to Anna, she ended up trapping herself.
“I don’t want to be disliked by Miss Anna… Waaah… Ah! Right! Brother must have a way!”
Caro Cat immediately messaged Texas, her older brother. Although the virtual helmet’s game world and the outside messages are separate, family members and whitelisted contacts can send messages directly to game characters.
【Big Bro! Come out, meow! (Seen)】
【I know you’ve read it, meow! Log out of the game! Quick (Seen)】
【I’m angry!!! (Seen)】
【… (Seen)】
【I got a boyfriend (Seen)】
Beep, beep, beep…
“Hmm… hearing me say I got a boyfriend, you come out immediately, huh? You do care about me, right?”
“I came to ask for your boyfriend’s number.”
“Oh, like ‘You want to date my sister, get past me first’, right?”
“No, I want to tell him to run, run as far as he can. I’ll reimburse the expenses.”
“Brother, you—”
Caro Cat, infuriated, cut off the call. Having such a rotten brother meant at least ten years off her lifespan.
Ah… Shoot, I was supposed to ask for Anna’s support team’s contact info. Got so angry at big bro that I forgot…
【Kiwi Fruit: Are you there?】
Caro Cat noticed a new reply to her forum message. It was from her best friend in the game.
Caro Cat, as a cat person, part of the orc race lineage, had always been in Arcadia and knew most of her friends there.
【Yarn Ball: Here!!!】
【Kiwi Fruit: I checked with the admin, your address is not compromised. Maybe it’s you?】
【Yarn Ball: Genuine guarantee.】
【Kiwi Fruit: Okay… I thought your account was hacked.】
The infamy of Anna’s support team was so profound it could easily shred the basic trust between best friends.
【Kiwi Fruit: When are you coming back to Arcadia? There’s a big mission in Arcadia.】
【Yarn Ball: In a couple of days. Let’s not talk about that, how can I contact Anna’s support team?】
【Kiwi Fruit: …】
【Yarn Ball: You don’t know…】
【Kiwi Fruit: Might have a way. But why contact that swamp-like illegal group… got bullied in the Mikhail Kingdom?】
【Yarn Ball: No, no. It’s really urgent.】
【Kiwi Fruit: Don’t get it… I found a way for you, try it out.】
Her friend sent
her a secret method supposedly leading to Anna’s support team.
“Spamming the forum… asking for Anna’s doujinshi?!”
Caro Cat was dumbfounded. This method… really works? But then she thought, any other group it wouldn’t work, but considering the nature of Anna’s support team…
Taking a gamble!
Caro Cat typed “Seeking Anastasia’s training doujinshi” as the title and frantically spammed the forum. She continued until her fingers ached, and finally, her persistence paid off.
She was banned from the forum.
“Meow?! Banned for half a month! Noooo—”
As expected, this method didn’t work! How could it be possible to lure Anna’s support team members with requests for doujinshi.
“Wait? A private message?”
Caro Cat, about to close the forum with a heavy heart and resort to asking her brother for help, noticed a private message alert. Being banned only meant she couldn’t post or reply in the forum, but the private messaging function wasn’t disabled.
【(From an anonymous forum user): Do you like Anna?】
【Yarn Ball: Yes, who are you?】
【(From an anonymous forum user): Do you want Anna’s doujinshi?】
【Yarn Ball: Yes.】
【(From an anonymous forum user): Then we are brothers from different mothers! Comrade!】
【Yarn Ball: …】
Could it be… she actually found them?
