The beginner village is the starting place for gamers. If in the previous game she couldn't enter the forest behind the village but, Ayu was in that area, it's only natural that she felt very foreign. Hiro explained that it was very dangerous in the area and only certain people were allowed to enter the area. It is said that there is even a legend saying that a hero suddenly appeared from there, that figure from a faraway place called Japan. Ayu remembers the story in the game, but was never called such a figure. Could she have missed the hidden mission even though she had reached level 100? She knew that the game she was playing was made in Japan, it might have something to do with a hidden mission.
"I went there because my instincts told me to go there, luckily I wasn't late. Usually there are curious citizens there maybe they will find something valuable."
"Mmm, I see... so that's it," Ayu mumbled thinking and, she didn't really care.
Everything that was said sounded absurd especially about the hero who came from Japan. The story setting of this game is really weird but is she sure it's still a game? She still thought this was similar to a game but more sophisticated because there was Hiro Gordan beside she. She secretly looked at Hiro, because after all Hiro was an extraordinary NPC now, they chatted like in the real world.
There was a wooden door with a stone wall that was clearly visible from 50 meters away as they walked along a dirt road in the forest area. "That's the entrance from the back of the village." Hiro turned his head after speaking, he just realized that the more he paid attention to the strange girl beside him, the cuter he was. Hiro guessed maybe Ayu's age was between 15 or 16 years, maybe 18 but, the fact that Hiro didn't know was that Ayu was only 12 years old.
"Ehem, I don't know your name yet, may I know your name?"
"My name is Ayu Octaviani Ningsih Putri Nartono Ningratmojo Hayunda Astari."
"Aah, please repeat it one more time."
"Ayu Octaviani Ningsih Putri Nartono Ningratmojo Hayunda Astari."
"Oh, your name is so long, I don't know how to call you."
"Just call me Ayu."
"... Ayu, your name is very unique."
"It's hard to remember what people say."
"Maybe because it's too long."
"Hey, maybe."
When entering the village, there are many differences, not because of the buildings, but because of the small children running around and the many active people, the village is really alive. Ayu can't hide her happiness because in the game there are no children, only Hiro Gordan is the youngest in the beginner village, but now it's very different.
"It's amazing how alive this village is! Hiro, look how beautiful this village is!"
"Hah?" Hiro confused what to answer? Everyone who heard turned their heads towards them it was really embarrassing. Hiro, didn't know where to put his face now. The residents whispered to each other and someone asked who was next to Hiro? Hiro answered honestly when he went to the forest behind the village he met Ayu. Many people asked to shake hands with Ayu until Hiro was eliminated maybe because of the legend inherent in the village, Ayu suddenly became famous.
Mother and grandmother ask Ayu to be their daughter-in-law, until Hiro is surprised to hear that even though it is not certain that Ayu is one of the legendary heroes. A village head approached Ayu and Hiro, the village head asked them to come to he's house to explain everything. While at the village head's house, Thomas, this 32-year-old blonde man put on a serious face when he heard Hiro's explanation. While his son, Jack, 17 years old, with blonde hair, couldn't stop staring at Ayu, Hiro looked at Jack seriously.
Hiro said goodbye and asked Ayu to go with him, Jack clicked his tongue at Hiro's actions. "Teck, he's still being nice like that."
Hiro asked Ayu not to be close to Jack in the future but Ayu just smiled because it was useless like that for fear that she would be labeled arrogant. How innocent Ayu doesn't understand Hiro's intentions, who already knows Jack's behavior by heart. Ayu only has the body of a teenage girl but her mind is not mature Hiro. Ayu thinks there is no need to avoid people who want to be friends, and Ayu just found out about Jack.
She was curious to what extent the development of NPCs made her want to know more because of the frequent conversations with Hiro. Arriving at Hiro's house, Ayu sees that all the rooms are really like fairy tales but can she live in the game world with conditions like now, she has to go to the river if she has to take a shower and so on.
"Aaah, I never bathe in the river," said Ayu.
"Huh, so where do you usually shower?"
"Yes, in the bathroom."
"W-are you a noble?" "Noble? No, I'm a commoner."
Ayu is sure she has to take a shower, she feels hot and can sweat like in the real world, she starts to think maybe what she is experiencing now is really real. She couldn't lie to herself. The river was 100 meters away when leaving the village, Hiro escorted him to the river. Ayu laughs when Hiro says that many adults like to peek at women bathing.
"Hahaha, there's really nothing to do but peek at people bathing, hahah..."
"You're laughing, aren't you afraid that someone will peek at you?" Hiro asked.
"Ignore it, what's the point of watching me take a shower. There's nothing to gain."
"You're joking isn't funny."
"I'm not kidding, do you really like watching me take a shower?"
"Hah!"
"You're so surprised. There's no point in watching me take a shower."
Hiro doesn't understand Ayu's weird joke, it's clear that he will make a big profit if he sees she taking a bath. Hiro thought this was a test, maybe Ayu was testing him whether he was a good man or bad, Hiro had heard that women like to test men, but he just found out that this is a test.
"Hah, I'll just take you here, you just need to go straight to the river there."
"You didn't take me to the river?"
"You want me to take you to the river!"
"Obviously, let's take me to the river!"
Hiro is invited to the river together, the river is so clear it is comfortable to look at but there is something even more beautiful for Hiro when Ayu begins to take off her clothes.
"Ayu, wait a minute!" said Hiro.
"Why are you screaming strangely," Ayu replied. "I'm just taking off my clothes."
"Yes, forgive him..."
Ayu swiftly pulled Hiro to help Hiro rub his back. Hiro then nodded innocently. He couldn't refuse but, he tried to endure this ordeal not long after that he was surprised that Ayu took off everything she was wearing.
"Breast..."
"Breast?"
Ayu feels funny with Hiro's attitude, Ayu approaches and forces Hiro to take off his clothes, they both take a bath together. Hiro who entered puberty could only freeze in river water, he didn't move an inch, Ayu deliberately splashed water on Hiro's face.
"Hahaha, don't you just shut up!"
Hiro wiped his wet face, he who was trying to restrain himself was now asked to wipe Ayu's back. Ayu is acting like that not because she is naughty, because she is just a 12 year old innocent girl and has been suffering for 2 years. In Ayu's mind, she saw Hiro as just an NPC.
