Without saying anything Rena slides the plate in front of Liam. Liam stared at the taco lustfully before eating it like a monster.
"I just want to know one thing about the system Liam," Rena without looking at Liam told him. Her taco was still in her hands. Liam's hands were holding the taco in his hands. He was taking a bite of the taco when Rena called for him.
"The thing about the levels in that system... does it really work?" That question kept Liam hooked on the taco. Soon after the taco was kept on the plate.
"I think it does. Probably,"
"Probably?" Rena repeated.
"I think it does. No, I am certain that it works," Ava chimed in. Oh! We almost forgot that little rabbit Ava is still sitting on the table with Liam and Rena. Ava didn't lift her look from the taco she was holding.
"Hm~" Rena hummed. Liam continued eating. There was a hell of a lot of silence in the room.
This time Liam doesn't eat the taco furiously and like a monster. Or like he was starving for years before he go this taco. The ta-co went into Liam's mouth, it got to tear up and came out of Liam's mouth softly.
"Want to try it, Renna?" Rena stops her eating although it was already done. Rena froze and so did Ava. Ava had finished her eating.
"N-No?" Rena answered, she was hesitating, "I don't want to," She got it. The point that Liam was talking about the levels.
"Why not? It is easy. There is only a low-level task that you have to do for getting the XP,"
"How you know?"
"Well, I have also gained XP so,"
"No, but still no,"
"I- I think I can give a try?" Liam turned.
"Really?" Liam's eyebrow on the right side raised up, he was not sure if Ava was really serious or was just pulling his leg.
"I am sure Liam. I am really curious about this," Her head lifted up, "And don't know why for some reason this gets me very and very excited!" Her eyes, her dark black eyes full of excitement.
Sudden change~ Liam thought. He was surprised.
"I never thought that you were interested in these things?" Rena asked.
"Well I am not bu losing to Liam in the levels, Hm... it doesn't get me a good feeling," what a blunt and bold answer you have given Ava! She is also interested in the; level/ no she is not then the only thing is that she doesn't like losing?
"I am not into the levels but I am into the competition. I really, really hate it when someone is going ahead of me in any competition,"
"But this is not a competition," Liam prompted
"It sure is not but I still don't want to lose to you, Liam!"
"The hell! I think I got a rival," that was some amazing excitement and a typical type of vibe you get when you have a rival worth fighting with.
"You two done eating?" Rena got up from her chair, she raises her hand toward Liam's and Aav's plate.
"Oh! Sure," Ava held the plate into Rena's hands. Liam also submitted his empty plate into Rena's hands.
"Let us get back to the search of that system as we are already done eating," Liam suggested throwing his hands behind and stretching them.
"Fine with me," Ava got up from her chair. Liam started moving upstairs, Ava followed him.
"The mobile i with me, okay now I am going to ask for your profile and then your Quests,"
The screen, the blood-red, this time blood read not neon! Neither Liam nor Ava were able to recognize that change. The search bar that was appearing on the top of the mobile's screen.
(Profile of Ava Walker)
In no time the screen went blank and the next thing was appearing on the screen was Ava's profile.
"Come here Ava!" Liam was staring at the screen, Ava came there, her head peeked over Liam's hands.
"Ow~ Your wisdom has lowered down a little bit,"
"Sure is, I wonder why,"
"Eh~ Your agility is better than mine!" Liam complained.
"Yes! I won in agility!"
"Does that means if you and I had a sprint then you will win?"
"I think that,"
"Well whatever I will catch up to you in a blink of an eye," Liam was just overestimating himself, or was he just saying it so that he doesn't feel sad and pathetic in front of Ava?
"Liam, I want to do those quests," Ava jumped, not really. She just stood on her tiptoes and then down, then up and down.
"Oh! See I almost forgot that,"
(Quests)
"Which?" Ava started freaking out. Liam continued looking at her.
Liam moved his finger and pressed the normal button on his own! Ava looked at his surprise, her eyes big.
A new tab with an empty text box appeared in front. Just like a pop-up screen. Liam typed 'Ava Walker' there.
"The-? You gonna run really?" Liam looked at Ava, she nodded seriously, "Well okay, but these are more difficult than they were for me,"
"The rewards are cool,"
"Okay then get going," Liam looked at Ava, "See ya after you come home running 1KM,"
"Arr?" Liam glanced at the screen.
"You see, I need that," Liam hesitated. He was not willing to go ahead and give the mobile to Ava's hands. Ava moved her left hand forward.
"S- sure. I am trusting you please don't break it,"
"Don't worry Liam!" Ava took the mobile in her hand, "I will bring the mobile just fine home,"
Liam nodded. Ava waved, she ran out of the room, "Very excited hu?" Liam started at Ava until she disappeared from the room.
"Hey, Liam!" Here she comes Liam thought, "Come down!" Liam sighed running out of the room.
"What do you want now?" Liam entered the kitchen rubbing his nape.
"Where did Ava went?" Hu? Only for that? Only for that, you called me down?
"She is running 1km, it is a quest,"
"Oh~ Ah~ I see,"
"Then shall I?" Liam asked.
"What will you do upstairs? Sit here until I wash the dishes I want to talk something with you,"
"With me? Really? You never do though,"
"But I want to do it today any problem?"
"N- No I will wait so come fast,"
Rena turned. The splash of water on the plate. Liam sat in the den waiting for Rena to come after she is done washing dishes. The splash of the water continued, the tap on and then off, the water flows and stops, again flows.
Liam glanced at the big 70 inch TV in front of him, "Aara, ara. I have not played you since that day," Liam bent his body taking the remote from the table.
He clicked on the TV, the screen glimmered and then sparked. The anime was still on, on the TV.
"Don't tell me Rena didn't take out the pen drive since when we watched Hyouka?" Liam was shocked at that. He clicked on the 16th episode of Hyouka.
The episode started. Liam continued watching it until the video reached 14 mins.
"Liam," Rena called out. Liam quickly paused the video. Rena rubbed her cold hands with one another for generating some warmth in her hands, "Listen to the thing I want to talk with you,"
"Yea, what is it?" Liam threw the remote on the sandbag.
"Where is Brook again?"
"What the feck?!" Liam's face was all twisted, "You! Go he must be in the attic," Liam got irritated. That was so, that was such a nuisance.
"I can't believe you just called me and made me stay here all the time just for asking were that dumb dog was," Liam with a twisted face got up from the couch.
Rena just stood there until Liam came across her. Liam's wrist was in Rena's hold. The tight hold of Rena.
"W-what now? Let me go," Liam pled. Rena decided to ignore it.
"That is no the reason I called and made you stay here,"
"Hu? Come again, what?" there was barely a gap of 5 to 9 inches between Liam and Rena, still Liam was not able to hear what Rena was saying. What was the need of speaking in such a low voice? She was not nervous, she was dead serious.
"I. That is no reason I made you wait here, the reason is..."
