Last chapter we were abruptly cut off by Ray over here who we have now 'gently informed' that he's not allowed to do that. We ask for your forgiveness.

Ray: "Ow..."

Enjoy the rest of the story.

...

Miss Gibin: "So Mr Ray was it? You some sort of a pervert?"

Ray: "What are you saying?! Why am I a pervert?"

Miss Gibin: "Suddenly appearing on the adorable Lady Maya, intimidating her into showing you her special exit and following her after she refused~ What a naughty boy~"

Maya: "W-w-what are you saying Miss Gibin!?"

Ray: "Don't twist the truth like that!"

Miss Gibin: "Hehe, I'm just teasing you two. But Mr Ray, a serious question, what're you doing here so far away from where most of your...people dwell?"

Ray: "Me and my friend ate some apples and we...uh, came to near Maya's house."

Miss Gibin: "Apples? Interesting..."

There was a moment of silence as Miss Gibin contemplated what she just heard. She didn't look like the other smaller gibins, she was the size of an adult and besides the blue skin looked just like a regular woman.

Ray took a sip of his tea, the apple taste was delicious. The silence however, was getting more awkward.

Ray: "Um...so what now?"

Miss Gibin: "Hmm? You're free to go if you want, Lady Maya here just decided to bring me some of her delicious tea and chat a bit."

Ray: "Well...actually I had some questions to ask you."

Miss Gibin: "Fire away, since Lady Maya approves of you. Ask anything."

Skill up: Persuasion Lvl 24(Charm, threaten, calm and persuasion are unlocked and are easier to do)

Skill check: Successfully persuaded a hard-to-convince NPC.

...Did I just level up 22 times in persuasion? Did I find a bug or something?

Ray: "Well...first off, you said far from my 'people'. How far away is that exactly?"

Miss Gibin: "It's not exactly far away, just...hard to get to. You need to be specifically summoned from the other side in order to even leave this place."

Ray: "But...then how did I get here?"

Miss Gibin: "...I don't know. Your kind aren't supposed to be able to come here, we live here until we get summoned."

Ray: "Ok...where is here then?"

Miss Gibin: "We simply call it home but the creators and those who know of us call it Hell, most of your kind wants to kill us so most of the locals don't like you."

...Did she just say I'm in hell? This beautiful place is hell? If people knew about this I would think that some wouldn't mind getting sent here.

Miss Gibin: "Though after seeing you, I'm beginning to think all of you aren't that big of a threat to be honest. You're ok in my book Mr Ray, do take care of Lady Maya for me."

Sigh...I wonder what I've gotten myself into.
