Chapter 82 - Country Fighters XZ - Team Mansion - Sleeping Together - Natsume's Excitement

Philip rapidly blinked his eyes to deactivate the Night Vision ability because it's very troublesome for him, for now. The lights were on and he feels like he's in a white abyss

His vision slowly adjusted to the light levels as he blinked repeatedly. Everyone looked at him with worry

"Don't worry, my eyes! It just got blinded by the light. I'm adjusting it"

Everyone understood him. Unlike Philip, they closed and covered their eyes so the light didn't affect them too much. They didn't know why Philip decided to open his eyes during the flash of light but Sai saw everything

"So... What are we going to do now? Mei'er has fallen asleep"

Natsuki spoke after seeing Mei'er fall asleep on Philip's lap. The others also noticed the crystal flower and couldn't help but ask

"What happened to Mei'er? What's that brilliant flower?"

Justine was the first to ask because she could feel a completely different type of energy emanating from the crystal flower

"Mei'er lost her energy when she infused her ability on the ball of Mana and it turned into this crystal flower. As for what it is, I don't know... We'll ask Mei'er when she wakes up"

Philip tried to explain while he rubbed his eyes together from being strained and itchiness

"Also, Mei'er just talked... Was she able to talk before?"

Everyone nodded from Philip's insight, they were also plenty surprised from that happening

"No, ever since I was here, I never heard her talk since she came to the mansion"

Alucard spoke because he is one of the first ones to live in the mansion and witness everyone move into the mansion

"I see..."

This confirmed Philip's suspicions. Mei'er wasn't born mute at all. She just underwent some kind of trauma that made her choose to never talk and it became out of habit

"Alright then, since Mei'er's sleeping, we won't be able to do anything that might wake her up like a pillow fight. Instead, we could just play games on our phones if that's fine with you all?"

"That's fine for me"

"Me too"

"I would like to play"

"Yeah! I would like to play with Philip!"

"Get ready to be destroyed"

"Is this what you mortals, I mean, guys call that are for entertainment in these mobile phones"

"I'll just watch for now"

Natsu, Natsuki, Mathilda, Natsume, Justine, Sai, and Alcuard answered respectively. Everyone showed excitement, Sai showed interested, and Alucard was smiling

Sai only received a phone recently and she has been browsing the entire internet. If it would make her discover gaming, she would like to play and entertain herself

Philip predicted that Sai will become a gamer Goddess in the future and she will be known in the gaming world eventually

Philip is still unaware of his and Justine's popularity in the gaming world, the team [Omega - Energy], until now

"Hey, have you heard of this particular team that is destroying every pro players and team in the gaming community and organizations in their own game?"

Natsume opened up a conversation after she read an article in the internet about a certain team that's undefeated days ago

"Oh? They seemed skillful if that's the case"

Philip showed interest in these pro destroyer individuals"

"Yeah! They dominated every game genre available. Open-world MMORPG, MOBA, and FPS"

Non-gamers like Mathilda, Natsu, and Sai looked at Natsume incredulously but with interest

But, at this point, Philip became suspicious. His Future Vision predicted where the flow of this conversation is going. He was excited to see some rivals, only for his hopes to drop down. It was also the same for Justine as she has an idea of what Natsume is talking about

"Oh... Who are they?"

"I don't know about their identities but their in-game names has been spread across the gaming world and they have been recognized by some expert gamers but novices were skeptical and suspicious"

"What are their names?"

"It's Omega and Energy"

Philip and Justine's eyes widened slightly. They never knew that they will make this much impact on the gaming world to the point that more than half of the gamers in the world knew them by their in-game names

They looked at each other in surprise and to communicate to each other with their eyes to keep quiet until Natsume and the others figure out that they are Omega and Energy

"Oh! If only I could meet them in person and ask how to become god gamers! Then I would be among their levels and team up with them!"

Natsume made the situation even worse. Although, Philip and Justine are decent gamers, comparable to pro players, they used their abilities to boost themselves up into the ranks

Some may call it cheating, but it's a part of their ability. Eventually, the gaming world will change with people obtaining different kinds of abilities during the Mysticism Age

It should be about time for gaming companies to change the way they make and program games so that no ability users will be able to use their abilities during the game. Unless, they want to take advantage of abilities and enter the transition of the new age for gaming

"What should we play? It's preferable if we could all play together as one team, no?"

Natsu voiced out her opinion to which Mathilda and Natsuki nodded. The three of them hasn't played too much digital gamrs as of late since it wasn't their cup of tea. But they know how to play games since they have played a few in the past. It can't be the same for Natsu though since she hasn't played a single game yet because she was always being trained and cultivated in the clan as the strongest

"Can I join also?"

Sai was shameless and asked directly

"Of course you can join!"

Justine replied with a warm smile to which Sai appreciated

"I have an idea for a game to play!"

Natsume raised her hand and lead everyone on what to play

"Let's play this game!"

Natsume opened the game app on her phone and showed it to everybody. The start-up screen of the game showed the Earth divided into three sections, which are the high, middle, and lower sections. There were also several characters that are constantly fighting in the background in martial arts style and different varrying weapons. There is also a flashy logo on top of the screen that shows the name of the game

"Country Fighter XZ!"

Natsume excitedly read the title of the game to everyone

Basically, the premise of the game is that there should be 5-10 teammates in one team. The team will battle thousands and millions of other fighters around the world in a real-time battle royale scenario. There are one billion fighters to choose from and everyone can be resourceful on how they fight or master their fighting style

The goal of the game is to climb the rankings and become the strongest to eventually fight the God of Fighters as the final NPC boss. The boss has the knowledge and fighting experience of all players in the world and it is controlled by a supercomputer

Even though this game is too advanced for it's own good, it can be played on mobile and on all platforms

This game is a fighting style game that uses the aspect of resource and a sprinkle of RPG. The game is popular enough to have 100 million downloads and it's on the same ranks of Enigma and other popular game

As Natsume finished explaining the gist of the game for everyone, they have already made their own characters

Natsu chose a character that has a Brawler class with a sub-class of a Shrine Maiden and she named her account as Hoshi

Natsuki chose a character that has a Chakram class with a sub-class of a Floater and she named her account as Kagayaku

Natsume already had a character and it's a Glaive Lord class with a sub-class of a Juggernaut and since she has been playing games ever since, her name on her account throughout any games is Shiro

"Since I'm the most experienced out of everyone, I'll teach all of you and lead you to victory!"

Natsume pumped her chest and showed a responsible looking expression. She has been playing Country Fighters XZ for a while and she is level 159, the average level in the game, and her character has evolved three times into a Lord

Sai looked smugly at Natsume and looked at her character. Her character has a Diviner class with a sub-class of a Battle Seer and she named her account as GoddesSai

Mathilda also created a character that had a Battle Maid class with a sub-class of a Mecha and she named her account as Peaces

As soon as the five of them joined the party, Natsume's eyes bulged upon seeing their classes and sub-classes

"Where the heck did you guys find all these?!! I never knew these classes and sub-classes existed?!!"

Seeing Natsu and Natsuki's information looks normal but seeing Sai and Mathilda's are the ones that made her surprised

A Diviner that is a Battle Seer, Sai could litterally harness the power of a God as she fights enemies by looking at their predetermined attacks before they even launch it

Also, a Battle Maid that is a Mecha, sounds like Mathilda. Natsume is surprised that Mathilda was able to find that combination

It was then that everyone else looked at Philip and Justine because they are taking their time on creating their characters

After several more minutes, they have finished creating their characters and joined the party. Natsume did not react at all after seeing their information and her eyebrows only curved into confusion

"Whaaat?"

Natsume uttered in extreme confusion and uncertainty

Justine created a character that has an Esper class with a Normal Magician sub-class. Since Justine has already made an account from other games, her name will automatically be Energy

Philip, on the other hand, created a character that has a Swordsman class with an Undetermined sub-class. His name will automatically be Omega

Natsume was confused because she didn't expect for Philip and Justine to create a character that has an odd mix of classes. She's not judging but their names is what made her more confused. Nevermind the Undetermined sub-class, their names are more important than the supposed non-existing sub-class

"This names... Are they real?"

The cat's out of the bag. Philip and Justine decided to come clean

"Yes, they are. We played Enigma, a certain FPS game, and a MOBA a few weeks ago. We were not aware of what happened in the gaming world, so we thought that it wasn't a big deal"

Natsume was speechless. Inside of her, she was screaming, especially since Omega is Philip and she fell in love even more. But, she maintained her composure in front of everyone and proceeded to play the game

~~~

A few hours have passed, it's almost midnight, the Mansion Team has reached the higher ranks of the leaderboard

Each and everyone of them has maximum synergy in playing their roles in fighting other teams that has the maximum of ten fighters

Philip was the vanguard that decimates every fighter across his path with his sword and with his unpredictable movements from the Undetermined sub-class, Justine was providing support from behind as she controls incoming projectiles and shoot it back at the enemies or stop skills, Mathilda was being Mathilda as a cannon that bombards the enemies before they could even arrive as a giant destroyer machine, Natsuki was also the vanguard as she flies through the air and throws large flaming chakrams at everyone, Natsume was the tank as she absorbs all incoming stray damage from the enemies with her glaive and being the Juggernaut, Natsu was the assassin as she flanks from the behind and brawls all enemy fighters with the power coming from Sai as the Shrine Maiden because Sai can use the power directly from an unknown God and obliterate every enemies that she sees

All in all, team Mansion has reach Top 9 in the World Ranking and they are eight ranks away to be able to fight the God of Fighting

Each and every one of them were playing normally, except for Philip, Justine, and Sai, which no one noticed except for Alucard

It was because the power that Sai's character is using directly comes from her own Divine Power as the Diviner class. So, it was like Sai is directly influencing the game with her own power

Meanwhile, Justine is using her Vector Manipulation, like usual, to manipulate the enemy projectiles and her own projectiles in the game. It also amplified the character's power of being an Esper and the esper abilities such as Telekinesis and such

Philip, however, the reason that he always decimates his enemies is because of Sword Concept, and of course, his other abilities such as Future Vision and Dimensionality Formulation

Turns out that the Sword Concept applies in the game. Whenever he swung his sword, the enemies just get cleanly cut and the environment is being destroyed with one slash

Not to mention, his Undetermined sub-class makes it so that he could use all one billion sub-classes whenever he wants to. Seems that he used Fate Control to obtain this non-existing sub-class and put in the game

Everyone was happy, especially Natsume. She got to play with the Omega and Energy that is becoming well known in the gaming world

After this gaming night, another wave might hit the gaming community with the rise of the Mansion Team, which includes Omega, Energy, Shiro, and the rest. But Natsume knows that the spotlight will lay on Philip, Justine, and possibly Sai because they are the most valuable in their team

"Well that was fun!"

Philip certainly had fun. He had fun decimating everyone in his way. The others also has a sense of satisfaction after seeing Philip, Justine, and Sai's power. It was unfortunate that they only reached rank 9 because the team above them wasn't awake during their rampage

Philip then stretched his hands and threw his phone on the bed. Everyone understood what this meant

"So, that's it then! We should sleep since it's almost midnight"

"I agree"

Alucard and Sai stood up, preparing to leave. Mathilda, Natsuki, and Natsu also stood up so they could prepare fixing their bed on the floor

Philip also stood up and helped the girls in preparing their futons

There were four futons laid down on the floor in a row and it almost covered the entire floor

"Why's there only four?"

Philip asked even though he thinks that he knows the answer

"Didn't you know?"

Natsu looked at Philip with ridicule

"Natsume will be sleeping with you too"

"Huh what?"

"What?"

Both Philip and Natsume exclaimed. Philip didn't expect for Natsu to be this pushy in making Natsume sleep with him on the bed, especially since Justine is also sleeping on the bed

"There's no room on the floor! We can't fit Natsume here, so she would sleep on your bed"

Natsuki joined in on the conversation. Philip turned towards Justine if she was okay with it. Personally, Philip doesn't care either way but he needs to know what Justine would think

"I don't mind"

Justine shrugged her shoulders. She's slightly excited to be sleeping with Natsume, it was like sleeping with her little sister. Natsume, on the other hand, is also excited because she gets to sleep with Philip in one bed

At this point, Philip is having mixed feelings. He knows that Justine is fine with it by reading her body language, but is it right?

Justine noticed Philip's uncertain face. She hugged him from behind and showed him that it's really fine. Besides, it's only for one night

Mathilda then carried Mei'er and gently placed her on the second futon from the bed. Natsuki will sleep next to the bed, Mathilda will sleep on Mei'er's left, and Natsu will sleep on the far right

Natsume then excitedly but carefully lied down on the bed. Her movements were stiff, nervous at the thought that she will sleep Philip. Justine giggled at this sight

Philip lied down on the middle of the bed that can fit mostly two people, if not, three people if they would occupy the whole space

Of course, Justine wrapped her arms around Philip so that they would fit. Natsume nudged closer to Philip with her back facing him

Philip only looked at Natsume with a neutral face. He doesn't know how to accept Natsume, especially since she's sleeping beside him. Justine also doesn't care at all

Mathilda already closed the lights and the faint moonlight shone through the window which slightly illuminated the room

Several minutes later, everyone on the floor has fallen asleep. Natsu is facing the wall, Mathilda is sleeping like a princess, Mei'er is sleeping like a baby, and Natsuki is sleeping like a normal person with her limbs curved into comfortable positions

Justine was fast asleep. She enjoyed Philip's warmth which put her guard down and slept completely. Although, her arms became loose and she unwrapped her arms as she turned her body around

Philip is also sleeping, but as always, the condition of his sleep is either one of the other extremity. He's either sleeping deeply or lightly

But, he has a quirk when sleeping. Even if he's lightly sleeping or in deep sleep, once his name has been uttered directly at him, he would abruptly open his eyes and wake up momentarily, which happened to him right now

"Philip"

Philip opened his eyes and saw Sai floating above him, on the ceiling, while looking down on him. She looked gorgeous and ethereal as her hair waves and flutters behind her. Her violet eyes were also faintly glowing that seemed to look at Philip's soul

Philip felt groggy. He was very relaxed by the bed and the two ladies beside him. He looked to his left and right and seemed to notice that they are both asleep

With Sai calling to him while floating above him, he knows what she came for, and it was from before. They will have a lot to talk to about

Philip slowly pulled his body to get up and not wake up Justine and Natsume. With his reformed body, this action is easy since he could manualy control his muscles and center of gravity to make the extreme slightest disturbance

As Philip went out of the bed, Sai floated towards the balcony door and Philip tip toed towards it. As they went out, Sai extended her hand at Philip to which he gladly reach to

Sai flew up and carried Philip to the sky

Even though Philip made the extreme slightest disturbance from getting out the bed, it doesn't work when someone is awake and her full awareness is directed to her surroundings

It was Natsume

She couldn't sleep at all and her heart kept beating loudly just by sleeping beside Philip. Eventually, tiredness slowly invaded her head but she was awoken when she heard Sai call for Philip

She watched everything until they flew upwards into the sky from the balcony. She pushed herself up and looked at the balcony as her silhoutte is being outlined from the light coming into the balcony

She laid back down and decided to quickly sleep before Philip comes back. In this way, she gets to sleep and she wouldn't know what happened if Philip were to hug her or something

It's the thought that counts

She closed her eyes and she fell asleep after a few minutes. She dreamt about Philip being the way he is and her, who kept on chasing him, which he waited for her whenever she's being left behind. He's still looking after her and making sure that she wasn't left out or feeling bad

Natsume unconsciously smiled from her sleep
