G. Chapter 43
Hosa, Ahi and Asi came out of the VR world. They played for nearly two hours and fifteen minutes. Their mood went on a rollercoaster ride as they experienced the blocks in the higher rows. They had a thrilled and tired expression as they exited from the VR capsules. As soon as they exited the VR world all of them received notifications about the confirmation of their task completion. As expected they got a bonus for creating a new record.
" Hahaha… We created a record!" Ahi laughed in joy as they exited the VR centre.
" So what's the difference between our time and the next best?" Hosa asked as his face lit brightly with excitement.
" Wait, I'll check ", said Ahi. She scrolled through the rankings to check the time of the second placed team. "Woah! there's more than a fifty minutes time difference." Ahi exclaimed. She then said, "They must have faced a tough competition from other teams. Think what would have happened if we had left that wild beast at the location in its perfect condition?"
" That would be a great party!" Hosa chuckled.
" Without the wild beast, I want to know how things developed in the task area." Ahi said.
" I think they would be shocked and anxious after discovering that a team already succeeded. All the teams might have engaged in a fight immediately, since most of the teams will reach the Yellow sour fruit tree. Nobody would want to wait and fight in a crowd." Asi guessed about what happened.
" Oh! That's totally possible. Since my little sister guessed, now I totally want to know what happened next. We will be checking the fight clips later." Ahi said as she held Asi's hands.
"Okay" Asi smiled and nodded. She asked," What about the team from Zealot Eleven Group?"
"Third place. Your friend's team did a good job, I think" Ahi informed her sister. Asi nodded at her.
" So, Are you going to participate in tomorrow's task too ?" Hosa asked Asi.
" No. I didn't plan to take two tasks." Asi replied.
" Okay" Hosa said.
" Well, she didn't expect things to turn out like this. Now we even have the chance to win this competition. She wasn't prepared for the second task." Ahi said.
" Thank you for helping us." Asi said.
" Thank you for this help and also for introducing the game. We enjoyed it a lot." Ahi said to him.
" Your welcome.", said Hosa.
Ahi said, " Let's play the game another time. It's weird and amazing. And the blocks in the last couple of rows are crazy."
" Yeah, this version has tons of those insane blocks. You haven't experienced too many areas. And it gets crazier if you are having a bad game. Just pray you don't experience those blocks." Hosa said.
" Exactly, insane. And I think you can't handle those horror blocks. You made a scene out of all your turns when it was a horror block.", Ahi chuckled. Asi smiled faintly at Hosa.
" I am not a fan of horror and ghosts. Seriously...", Hosa said with an exaggerated expression as he covered his forehead.
" Oh! That's an easy weakness. Let's play a horror role playing game next time." Ahi grinned.
" Thank you for your invitation. But I refuse." Hosa replied politely.
" Aw. I won't be embarrassing you, then.", Ahi giggled. She then asked her sister, "Asi, how is the game? Did you like it?"
" It was good. I had a great time playing the game.", Asi said.
" It's nice to hear you liked the game.", Hosa smiled.
" So, what are you going to do with the tusks elephant beast?" Asked Asi.
" I haven't decided yet. I don't know whether to keep it with me or give it to others where it can lead a new life." Said Hosa.
" Well, if you want to find someone to look after that wild beast, ask me. I can help you with that", said Ahi.
" Thanks. I will, if I decide not to keep it", said Hosa.
As they spoke they reached the teleportation point.
" Bye. Let's meet another time." Ahi said.
" Bye. See you again." Asi said.
" Byebye", said Hosa as both the sisters entered the portal. Then he entered the portal to return to his house.

It was a great day.
I didn't think everything would go so smoothly. It was a lucky day.
I was too bothered about what happened to Asi and her changes at the start of the day. But no, I shouldn't have worried. Asi changed, but she is still normal. Those things that happened in the past had an influence on her. That's all.
She wasn't as active as the girl that I once knew. And maintaining a good distance with others. I don't know if I have a good sense in reading others emotions but she had no negative emotions. All I could sense at most is her cautious behaviour in the beginning.
Her sister was good. Yeah, Ahi was nice. I felt.. she is sweet, yes. It was a good time with her and also slightly irritating. She took her time rolling the dice when I am in the horror blocks. Oh! How I hated her. I couldn't even pay her back.
Her smile is beautiful, like her sister. It looks like she is attracted to my looks, or is she the same with everyone? I can't guess now, after only meeting her for the first time.
I have received a total of a thousand two hundred points. The thousand for completing the task and placing first. Extra two hundred points as a bonus for completing the task in a record time.
With this additional thousand two hundred points I have a comfortable number of points at hand. As for tomorrow's task, I don't care. I wasn't going to participate in this competition in the first place. It's just to have a chance to interact with Asi. Now that I have achieved my goal. This competition stops here.
Emy greeted me as I entered the room.I left her with the owners. They informed me they will leave Emy in my room when their family goes out. Poor girl, I don't know how long she stayed alone in the room. She started rubbing her body on my legs. I took her in my hands and started petting it.
After washing, I looked at myself in the mirror. It's been years since I took care of my appearance. I was lazy to bother about how I present myself to others. Today I tried to present a better look of myself to Asi. And I don't know what she thought. But looking at my reflection in the mirror, now, it feels great.
