Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 121: Meeting Anna
Sunday, 05 October 2025
Natan was walking leisurely in the city, accompanying her sisters to play snow in this state of calm. Usually when they play snow, the situation is very tense because of the fear of monsters that attack Mammoth House.
"Republica, Erina! Don't force Kuro!"
Ayumi and Erina are riding on Kuro's towed snow carriage; natan does not want both of them to force Kuro to exhaustion, as he does not have the heart to see the pet accompanying him from the start until exhausted.
"Good, Brother!" The two answered along with a slight shout.
When the two of them were quite far away from Natan, they both seemed to be approaching each other, like they were discussing something.
"Erina, do you know what date next week is?" ayumi asked to make sure—ia would be upset if Erina did not know what she meant, as this was a very important matter.
Erina thought for a moment while playing her fingers to calculate the date of today and the date of next week. "Sister's birthday!?"
Ayumi closed Erina's mouth and hissed as her index finger in front of her lips. "Shhhh! Shut up, don't be loud, you'll hear it."
Erina nodded her head slowly and asked Ayumi to let go of the hand that was in her mouth. "OK-okay, we have to tell the others, and don't let Big Brother know this. We should discuss where her birthday is held, and don't let Big Brother come before his time."
Ayumi gave a small nod, then looked back at Natan who was very far away from the two of them. "I'll have to cook a good meal from now on, but I can't keep it in the Storage Guild, because Big Brother can find out about it or someone eats it."
Erina couldn't help but agree, as she often took food that should have been made for Natan, but she ate it, and because of her actions it was often scolded by Ayumi. However, even so, he did not feel deterred and always did it many times.
"Then, how do you keep it?" erina—ia asked curious and hoped to take food, at least taste the dishes made by Ayumi for her birthday.
Ayumi nodded her head many times by folding both hands in front of her chest. "Heheh! I've created the tools with the help of Uncle Bardhy and Aunt Lucy." He raised his right hand.
There was a blue bracelet that looked foreign because it had never been in the NPC Shop; unique engravings were seen on the inside as well as outside of the bracelet, and there was the Lv Magic Core.The 300 numbered in the hundreds but solidified into one.
"Wristband Storage, this can store like Inventory, but can only store with a size of four times four, or sixteen blocks. Unlike a Storage Guild that could have thousands of storage blocks." Ayumi was very excited to explain.
Erina simply nodded her head many times; there was no interest in the bracelet that Ayumi wore, and was more focused on enjoying the potato chips she got while walking through Chengdu City before it was destroyed.
Erina was also more comfortable using the storage provided in the Guild, only needing to open the System Player, and was already able to operate it without having to use Mana.
"Kuro, let's catch the chicken, duck, sheep and cow!" yell Ayumi raised her hand—many things to prepare and she plans to start from now on.
"Meow~" Kuro answered in a soft voice before turning into Lion King.
Kuro starts to run even faster taking Ayumi and Erina out of the city, going to another place where the farm is located.
Natan who was in the distance, just remained silent and sighed when she saw Kuro who was running stronger. He lowered his head looking at the time on the watch, then looked back to the right. "It's time, aren't you out?"
The mana gathered behind him formed a vortex of light where it was the sign the NPC Shop came from, but that mark was now not as attractive and as good as it used to be, because at the beginning the NPC Shop appeared, but it was a sign that was now not as attractive and as good as it once was, there would be a pillar of blue light soaring into the sky.
Natan looked back and his attention was immediately drawn to the green cursor with Anna's name there; it had been more than four months or about 1,448 times that came was Ainsley, not anyone else. But, somehow his feelings felt strange when he saw the woman in front of him, like he was no stranger anymore.
"I— Uhum!" Anna tries to change her voice; still does not want Natan to know the identity of her who is Brianna Alexander. "Ainsley was busy with her business, I was Anna who replaced her to accompany you. Maybe we'll meet in the future."
"OKAY. But ..." Natan nodded her head. "You know, I only buy information that you might not be able to give, and I also often sell things instead of buying them. After all, the Armonia Guild was well-sufficient."
"Ib— I know it ..." Anna almost called herself 'Mother'. "Ainsley's been telling it, and I don't have a problem with that."
"For information, with the authority I have, I cannot give it. In any case, I'm usually assigned to take care of players with levels of three hundred to four hundred, unlike Ainsley who takes care of Top Five."
Natan did not expect that Ainsley had a very high standing, and if he recalls it, Ainsley once said that he was very close to the Guard. Speaking of the Guardians and Monster Ancestors, he was very curious as to when that day would come, and whether he could face or could survive.
"The city you built is so beautiful, did you learn it?" asked Anna—ia to know how her son lived after he left her.
Natan was silent for a moment, as if reluctant to answer him, but on the other hand it would not hurt to tell him. "Yes, I learned to make miniatures and sell them to increase income. Learn all martial arts to forget pain and so on."
Brianna or now disguised as Anna, lowered her head and gnashed her teeth while clenching both hands; anger and resentment began to rise in her heart, because before her death, it was, he left a lot of money that should have been used until Natan was 40 years old.
"Isn't your family rich?"
Natan frowned; feeling that this had gone too far to even ask for material things. "Do you have to ask about family? Then, does it have anything to do with you if my family is rich or not?" He was upset and wanted to leave Anna.
Anna looks very panicked, but tries to keep Natan from leaving. "Bu-Not so, I get information if in England, there is a family Alexander who is very rich and famous, can even affect the world economy just because of their words. I thought you were from there."
Natan just silently thought about his last name which was both Alexander, and his mother named Brianna Alexander was indeed from the UK, moved to Indonesia due to student exchanges. But, he rejected it and felt it was impossible that his mother came from a famous family in England.
The conversation continued while surrounding Longquan Mountain, until Anna finally had to return because she was only allowed to come for 30 minutes. The closeness of the two began to wake up even though they had just met each other, especially Natan who felt comfortable, such as meeting the person he missed so much.
Natan sat on the edge of the deepest wall with her legs hanging; her gaze blankly looked forward. "Alexander, is Mom from the Alexander family in England?"
The thought of coming to England and ascertaining for himself, whether the family of Alexander was the place of origin of his mother. After all, he had only seen his mother's family when he was very young, and it was only a few weeks, then always communicated through video calls.
"After winter is over and spring comes, I will come to America to destroy the Skull Guild, then come to England to look for the Alexander family."
"I hope everything can be finished in just one month. I can't linger out there."
Natan let out a long sigh; many things he thought of after meeting Anna. But, rather than continue thinking about it, it was better for him to return to the Palace to rest and let the Skeleton Squad hunt down the monsters that kept coming.
Natan descended slowly through the stone steps, then walked towards the Palace in silence, even ignoring the little children who greeted her.
