A lonely author looks back at the previous chapter to remember where he left off. He sees a couple of spelling errors and degrades himself for not noticing them.
"If only I had an editor" the author thought in the dimly lit, quiet room.
"If only someone could correct my errors so I could see them" he thought. Then he decided to get back to his story, feeling drowsy from how comfy he is under the blanket, and hopes someone will comment on his errors....

Truck-San Strikes Again! Chapter 20: Back on the Road with the Dragon-kin.

GEEZES this is so annoying. On the way down the mountain, Sophiana just went on and on and ON about me becoming her servant. Caroline was making it worse by laughing at me and saying I should just accept it. Elli was Rufus of both of them say "He is only allowed to be loyal to me". And on top of all that, we had to CLIMB down the mountain since Alyssa was so distracted and embarrassed by something. She kept muttering about a MS (AN: Master x Slave/Servant) combo all the way down! Just what the heck is this?!?!?! I'm seriously about to blow a fuse!

   By the time we got to the bottom of the mountain, everyone but Alyssa seems to have calmed down somewhat. Seriously, I need a friend that is a guy just to have a normal talk to keep my sanity. But at least Elli and Sophiana seemed to have finally come to an agreement regarding my punishment. I still don't know why they are reacting to this so much, I honestly didn't see anything and I wouldn't do something like peeping in the first place. I'm not a very lusty person after all.

   "So are you OK with just that?" (Elli)
   "I still want him to be my servant but...this is good for now." (Sophiana)
   "I still think he should be punished more, this is still OK though" (Caroline)
   "MS.....MS....such things...this and that...MS..." (Alyssa)

   I have a bad feeling coming from everyone else but Alyssa. Since I can't do anything about the three deciding a punishment, I decided it's time to break Alyssa out of her stupor. I poke her cheek,

   "Alyssa! Come on, snap out of it!"
(Arthur)
   "HIIiiiiiiiiii.....!!!" (Alyssa)
   "Thought I lost you there for a second, try not to dive into delusions  to much ok? We might need you after all." (Arthur)
   "Eh? Ah...ok. Sorry....." (Alyssa)
   "No need to feel sorry, just try to stay with us here." (Arthur)
   "Uh...ok..." (Alyssa)

   Alyssa looked very embarrassed from being awoken from her delusions and wouldn't meet me in the eyes. She kept looking at the ground with a tomato colored face. Well, I guess she is at least back on the surface of the planet now. As if waiting for our conversation to end, Elli spoke up,

   "Arthur! We have decided what you will compensate Sophiana with!" (Elli)
   "Etto.....what would that be?" (Arthur)
"Hmpf, you have the honor of becoming my companion (An: Ok for all you perverts out there, this companion is equal to a party member in a game) for many years to come!" (Sophiana)
"What?" (Arthur)
*Ding!*
'Sophiana has invited you to a party! You will be able to see other party members status but since they do not have video game-like abilities, they will not be able to do the same. You will also be able to see and find their location. Note: key words to having some one join a party is "Will you be a companion of mine" or anything along to lines.
—Do you accept? Yes/ yes
Additional info: as a result of this being a punishment, you are forced into the party no matter what'

What...the heck....IS THIS?!?!?!? Seriously?!?!? Well what ever, it's not like it really matters.

"Just to be clear....what exactly does being in your party imply?" (Arthur)
"Well we will always wonder the wide world together (AN: just felt like a little alliteration was needed.), well will hunt together, camp together, share any valuable monster parts, help each other etc. But just to be clear, you will be doing most of the work involving cooking, scouting, etc. Eventually, you will become my servant too!" (Sophiana)
"Wait what?" (Arthur)
"Well except for that last part, she is more or less correct. You have to stick to her side but you still serve me!" (Elli)

I'm, still confused. But in any case it seems I am only being seen as a servant or loyal subject, which, by my own perspective, I never have or will agree to such a thing. (AN: not kidding here). Well, it doesn't look like I will have much freedom. I should have just went with the words of my past life, "Girls are troublesome, distance your self as much as possible without being rude". (AN: no offense to all the ladies out there, but you got to admit that guys are troublesome to you guys right? Sorry, there are some cool ones out there that I speak to normally but generally it's just troublesome). There is nothing I can do I guess.

"I accept I guess." (Arthur)
*Ding!*
'—You have accepted Sophiana's party invite'

Ahh...what a life, second one to be exact, to live. Hopefully it get better in the future. (AN: depends on how you look at it...). Time to get going I guess...

For another week or so, we took our time traveling to the city in which we will meet the King at their mansion. Sophiana was surprised with my cooking saying that she has never seen it any where before, but I can clear suspicion for now by saying I came from a small unknown village. The fact that I came from another world should not be said. In any case, the trip went smoothly without any mishaps.

   We stood in front of the door to the mansion with anxious expressions clear on our faces, except for Sophiana. We all took a deep breath and walkedin. The Royal trio anxious because this will decide if they continue to adventure or not, and me anxious for meeting a king the first time. We opened the doors slowly......

Author's Note- Aaaaannnnndddd, cliffhanger. Hope you like them! Also, I immediately went to work on "The Anonymous Swordsman" after this so chapter one can be ready to publish soon. This is my plan: Chp.20 of T.S.S.A., Chp. 1 of T.A.S. 2-3 days of that, 2 more Chp. of T.S.S.A. And the 2-3 more days of T.A.S. How does that sound? That way you can expect regular updates for when I am updating books. The thing is.....I am the type of person to have a Surge of inspiration, take a little time off, then get back to it, so don't expect there to be updates every time on schedule. That's it for now! Bye!
