Eleven

Sylvia helped Asher with his assignment when she got back home. The little fella was happy doing his assignment with his sister.

'Bai' came out of the kitchen carrying a tray with two cups of freshly squeeze apple fruit.

“Let's stop a little bit and have some fruit juice.” Sylvia stopped the lesson and took the tray from 'Bai's' hands. She placed them on the table and handed Asher his.

Asher drank slowly savoring the taste. Sylvia watched him drink and suddenly thought of something. “Your birthday is next week. What do you want sister to buy for you?”

“I don't know." Asher answered. Although kids always have unlimited demands which are insatiate. However, Asher could get what he wanted so he had no idea of what to say.

His sister just got him the new car toy so he has no demands.

“Don't worry. You can think of it later. Sister will get you all you want.” Sylvia patted on Asher's head.

“Hmm.” Asher nodded his head. “Sister.” The little guy raised his head to look at his sister, blinking innocently. “Can I let Ayaan come and celebrate my birthday with me?”

“Of course. You can also invite your classmates over. We'll get the invitation and you'll hand it over to them.”

'Invitation'. Asher light up hearing that word from his sister. Though, he didn't know what it means, Asher was happy he would get to invite all his classmates to celebrate his birthday.

After the two finished drinking, 'Bai' who was at the side took away the cups to wash then up. Sylvia and Asher then went back in completing the assignment.

...

The sky outside was already dark. Sylvia had already taken a bath already and was now on her bed busy with her light brain.

The group chat she was added to earlier this evening was very busy. The chat had been going on since evening.

She read through the previous messages.

[Vice president: Hey, hey, hey. Come look everyone. We've a new member and it's a girl. (*＾＾*)//]

[Atlas: Congratulations Vice president👏]

[Walker: The Vice president finally got the baby sister she wished for. Now, everyone will be at peace]

[Vice president: Hey @Walker, are you trying to say I'm troublesome]

[Walker: Hahaha, you must have misunderstood something Vice president. I was just joking]

[Vice president: And you think I'll believe that? *Dangerous smile*]

Walker left the group.

[Vice president: This jerk]

Vice president added Walker back to the group.

[Vice president: Where the hell do you think you're going]

[Walker: Let me go, Vice president. (*꒦ິ-꒦ີ) ]

[Vice president: In your dreams. You'll be the one to lure over the beast in our next mission.]

[Walker: This is bullying. I'll report to the president.]

[Vice president: Let's see if he could do something about it.]

[Walker: There's someone suffering an injustice here! Help!]

[Gael: It's really a baby sister. WOW, congratulations Vice president]

[Vice president: Your reply is late, so get off]

Sylvia read through all the bickering and a faint of amusement could be captured in her eyes. These people are so childish.

She decided to say something to the members.

[Sylvia Austen: Hello. I'm the new teammates. Please take care of me]

Sylvia hadn't changed her username so her name was automatically made her username.

[Vice president: Hello, cutie. I'm the guild vice president. With you here, it means that the guild finally has two girls in the team]

[Milo: You finally aren’t the odd one out @Vice president. Welcome to the guild @Sylvia Austen]

[Vice president: You Milo, how come you're back. Aren’t you at work]

[Milo: I think you should look outside of your window Vice president]

[Vice president: Shit! It's night already]

[Milo: I guess you didn't know]

[Walker: She's been online since morning. Tyron and the others were scared away by her irrelevant chat]

[Tyron: Who was scared away]

[Walker: President! You're back. Do you know I was bullied while you were away. You should fight for me president]

[Vice president: Who the hell is fighting for you? Come on, your punishment is doubled]

[Walker: You see that. I can't take it longer. (*꒦ິ-꒦ີ) ]

[Tyron: Sorry bro. You are on your own]

[Walker: PRESIDENT!!!]

[Tyron: Hello @Sylvia Austen. I'm the president of the guild. Welcome to Tyron guild. I'll send you some info about our guild rules and regulations]

An incoming message rang on Sylvia end. Sylvia saw that the president had send her some message privately.

[Tyron: They're long so you should take time to read them]

[Vice president: What is the essence of rules which are meant to be broken]

[Tyron: Hey, Miley. Can you still show me some respect]

[Vice president: Respect your ass. Hello @Sylvia Austen. My name's is Miley. If you've any questions to ask, you should come to me. We two are the only girls in the guild so we should support each other.]

[Sylvia Austen: Thank you, Miley]

[Tyron: @Sylvia Austen, I saw from your profile that you're still in high school which means you'll only join the team for outing during the weekend]

[Sylvia Austen: The thing is, I signed up for the membership because I need beast cores to strengthen myself. Although, I'm not experienced, I'll try my best not to let the group down]

[Vice president: What try your best. You should leave everything to those stinky boys while we two enjoy ourselves. Don't worry, they dare not disobey me]

[Milo: The Vice president can be something else]

[Vice president: Hey Milo, say that again]

[Tyron: Okay, no fighting]

[Vice president: Who the fucking hell is fighting]

[Tyron: Tomorrow is weekend. Then, we'll all gather at the mercenary hall and introduce the other members to you officially @Sylvia Austen. Four of our guild members are not online so you'll meet them tomorrow]

[Sylvia Austen: Okay.]

[Tyron: I won't hold you down. So, you should get to bed early. This is the developing stage for most teens]

[Sylvia Austen: Goodnight]

[Vice president: Goodnight. Bye. Have a sweet dream.]

[Milo: You'll be the one to chase her away one day with your behavior]

[Vice president: Hey, how dare you appear here]

[Milo: Why can't I. The guild is not yours alone]

[Vice president: You jerk. Hey you Walker, your punishment has been stripped off and now transfer to Milo]

[Walker: You're the best, Vice president (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)]

[Tyron: And why would I accept that?]

[Vice president: If you don't, then your share of cores gets deducted for two months]

[Milo: You must be kidding me. President, why did you make her in charge of the beast core]

[Vice president: I'm the Vice president, so I'm in charge. Why, you got any problem? He-he-he, now you know not to mess with me]

[Milo: I'm protesting. There's no way I'm doing it. We want an impeachment]

[Vice president: Impeachment your head. This lady here will remain the Vice president till the end of the world]

[Tyron: ~replying to Milo~ Take heart bro]

[Milo: President!!!]

[Walker: Milo San, you can do it. I got your back. (￣ω￣)]

[Milo: Fuck off]

Sylvia saw this and laugh before going offline. She laid on the bed, and her face showed an expression a girl of her age would have.

Sylvia saw that the people in the guild all accepted her. It was quite different from the team in the apocalypse.

The circumstances then could make a nursing mother turn it back on her baby, so why wouldn't she experienced betrayal.

Sylvia shook her head to dispel the memories of those days coming to her. This is a different world. Everyone one is happy. Therefore, she should also be happy with herself.

Sylvia closed her eyelid and snuggle closer to her pillow trying to find a comfortable spot to sleep.

The next morning, Asher went to uncle Mike's house for the weekend. Although Mike was skeptical about Sylvia wanting Asher to stay with him, his doubt finally faded when he heard her reason.

“The business in the Star virtual net is stable. The customers are still constant but not as much as before.” Mike said. “So do not tire yourself out.”

Sylvia smiled. “Okay, uncle Mike. Bye Asher.” Sylvia wave at the boy.

“Sister.” Asher wave back.

“I'll bring him back in the evening. Take care of yourself.” Mike utters the last word, and carried Asher, heading towards his flying car.

Sylvia watched them leave and went back inside the house.

“Host, this is your lunch.” 'Bai' hand Sylvia her lunch box.

“Thanks.” Sylvia pat on Bai's head and quickly went up to her room to change her dress.

When Sylvia came out, she was wearing a casual black sportswear. There was no time for her to order the uniformed combat suit yesterday, so she could only wear this.

“Can you please help me deal with the virtual store while I'm away?” She packed her hair into a bun while talking to Bai.

“Yes, host.” 'Bai' answered.

“That's good then. I'll be going. Keep the home safe.” Sylvia stepped out of the house, not forgetting to take her lunch box along.

In the whole house, 'Bai's' voice resounded. “Yes, host.”
