After that they played a couple of games.
In five games straight, Yvonne won almost every game.
In this five games she didn't get to ask any question, two were cancelled because it was already answered. While the other three was played shamelessly by him.
Two games resulted in a draw, as in each game he always ran until the time is up. While in the last game, when his health was already below 50% he pretended to be afk, saying that he needed to go to the toilet so it doesn't count.
Yvonne couldn't help but roll her eyes each time she listens to his reasons, and couldn't believe how someone is so shameless. Nonetheless, she had fun, there was even a game were her health was below 20% percent. His improvement are audibly visible.
...
(We spent quite a bit of time. Let's play together again tomorrow)
(Okay)
(You're not going to turn me down this time)
(Turn down? You're going to say something to make me accept anyway, so why bother. And to be honest, it's not like it was boring)
(Good. Then see you later)
(Later)
Seeing that his offline, Yvonne stretched her hands.
"Hahh... is this what they call that time moves fast when you're having fun... look at how late it is."
Yvonne turned her computer off, getting out of her room.
When she opened her door, she wondered.
"Was someone here, why did I feel a familiar air all of sudden?... Hmm, maybe I'm just tired sitting all day."
"You're dinner is already, Milady." Riesse greeted her when she arrived at the dining room.
"Yeah, come and eat with me, Riesse." Yvonne smiled.
"Mhm, you seem to be happy?" Riesse sat down together with her, she didn't need to act as a maid when there is only the two of them.
"Not really... just found something fun?" Yvonne commented while eating.
"Gaming again?..." Riesse shook her head.
"It's not like I can find anything else to entertain me, and you also sometimes play." Yvonne snorted, Riesse was the same as her a top player in the leaderboard. Riesse is ranked 10.
"Let's enjoy what we have left?" Riesse asked in wonder.
"Yeah... unless a change happens." Yvonne mumbled.
...
8 days left before the day of marriage.
Both him and Yvonne were playing MLO again.
It was not a death match this time, instead it's a team play.
They entered a public room.
(Hey, I'm almost out of health, help me)
(You always need me to wipe your ass, so stupid)
(What can I say, you're better right?)
(It's good that you know)
Quickly killing her opponent, Yvonne quickly helped him.
(Heal yourself first, I'll be guarding you)
(You are always carrying me in game...)
...
The game after that team match, were clearing stages. A stage were you fight monster NPC's instead of players. They cleared until stage 20 before stopping.
All this time their conversations flowed.
(What's your favorite color? Women should like pink and stuff right?)
(Most of us, but I prefer red. How about you?)
(It's blue for me)
(Typical)
(Haha, I guess most people just like the blue color)
...
(You like listening to music? I sometimes hear it in the background)
(Mhm, music calms me down)
(I can relate, especially when you're having problems)
(You listen to music too? What do you like?)
(Sometimes, I mostly listen to music that are popular)
(I can recommend you something if you like)
(I won't bother, your music always sounds so depressing. Try listening a happy music for a change)
(Humph, it's just this types of music are very well created. I could feel and relate to it)
(Is that so... shall I sing a song for you?)
(You can sing? How unexpected. Then let me hear)
(Okay, here goes... love is like a tragedy yet a comedy~ tragicomedy~ tragicomedy~ The tragic fate of people, the comedy that comes with it~ tragicomedy—)
(Okay, stop, stop. I appreciate it but pfft... you sound so bad)
(You don't need to be so direct, but at least I made you laugh)
(Sweet tongue, how about I sing for you this time? Tragicomedy right? I can also sing that)
(Oh, with your voice it might be good. I have high expectations)
(I'll try my best... love is like a tragedy yet a comedy~ tragicomedy~ tragicomedy~ The tragic fate of people, the comedy that comes with it~ tragicomedy~...)
(Ding, ding, I already pushed the golden button if this was a contest. Your voice didn't disappoint at all)
(I'll accept this praise)
...
(What food do you like?)
(Hmm, I think pasta should be the food that I love eating the most. You?)
(I like eating meat)
(Meat sure is tarty too, but I like pasta because I could take my time eating with it)
(I would love to eat you rather than eating meat)
(Gross)
...
(Hey, what is your dream?)
(You're taking the initiative to know me, this is a first)
(Hm, answer me)
(Well, I don't really know and it's not a dream but a fact, an established fact. Also if I have to answer then it would be spending my time with beautiful women I guess, til the end of time)
(Humph, what a perverted dream)
(Haha, what about you?)
(I... I want to break the chains that are binding me)
(What, are you imprisoned or something because of your beauty?)
(Stop joking, I just want to control my own fate that's all)
(Fate, huh. Fate sure is mysterious thing)
(Hey, what would you do, if you don't have the power to control your own fate?)
(I don't know, since I can't relate. But if I need to put it into words, if I can't control my own fate, then escape from it. If I can't escape because of those bindings hindering me, then break it, destroy it and turn it into nothingness)
(Destroy it... what a word to say. You'll need unimaginable power to do that, if I could I would)
(If you don't have it, then ask someone to do it for you... Freedom, shall I give it to you? The burden fate is giving you, shall I destroy it for you?)
(You say it as if you can do it, if game could be reality maybe I would have the power to say something like that)
(Yeah, you're number one after all)
(I have to carry you all the time)
(You're carrying me in game, then I'll repay it. I'll carry you in real life)
(Is that so? Enough talk, this dream topic is over, forget it. Let's play)
