As I wonder about what I should do to greet Alya... Alya eyes opened and then her mouth turn into a grin.
"Good Afternoon, Baby~"
"... G-Good... Afternoon... Alya..."
I quietly sit down beside Alya. She sit up and immediately circle her arm around my shoulder...
"It's been two months since we last talk. I hope you forgive me. Because the exam is not fun!"
"Un... I never hate you for leaving me in the dust for two months. But... I do hope that you contact me during that time though..."
"Well~ Sorry. But I'm free now! I manage to get finished college!"
Being a lot younger than Alya... Really gives me a lot of reason to act like this... I want her to pamper her. It's a side that I never shown anyone.
"Speaking of which though, Matt. You played NWO right?"
"Yes. I started Yesterday because Jonas invited me to play. At first I was a bit skeptical. But... Because I like how the game is... I decided to switch to NWO."
"I see. That's good then. I know you've been struggling with that old Gacha Game. What do you think about NWO?"
"I think NWO is very fun. I don't know most of the mechanics still. Because all I do is just farm and do gacha daily."
"Okay. That's fine. Starting Yesterday huh. What level are you right now? Have you reached level ten yet?"
"... Fifty Five..."
Alya face turned like 'That's too fast!!!' She was shocked. Definitely... And I too, will be shocked if someone new just told me that they manage to reach that level in two days... The game has been out for a few months now. So people has reached a very high level. But to be this high in just two days is definitely not easy.
I think Jonas is level Sixty Seven. And he's been playing since day one... Granted that he spend most of his time grinding to get better equipment so he doesn't have time to continue to level up.
"Hmmm... As expected for someone who has a lot of knowledge in general game... I guess it's fine... How about we play together, Matt? I've ordered a brand new machine to be put in here. So we can play."
"I mean, now that you say that, how can I reject? Sure! Let's play together... I want to take back these two months of emptiness..."
"Fuck... You're so cute, Matt... How can you be this cute?"
"You make me this way, Alya. If you have something to complain about me, complain to yourself. You made me this way."
Since I'm too attached to Alya, of course it's natural for me to act like this... I don't want her to be hurt by my words or actions...
"Speaking of playing together Alya... What is your nickname? And what is your level?"
"Well, My Nickname is Belian. Ring a bell?"
"... No... Not really..."
"Buuu!!! You never check the world ranking?!"
"No... What ranking are you then?"
"I'm Ranking One! The one and only! The Playful Cinder! Belian! I'm Level Hundred Ninety Seven."
... What? You're a hardcore then! How do I never heard of this?! I look at her with that sort of looks and she quietly smiled and stated.
"I try to invite you to join me in NWO. But you always rejected my invitation~ So it's not my fault that you didn't try it~"
"Is that why... You always reply to my messages late?"
In the past, there's a time where I would try to talk to her, but she can't be reached. That makes me very anxious, but at the same time, I know that she's not that type of person. So I just let her do her thing.
"Well, kind of. You see, NWO has a very good system that lets you connect your devices to the capsule. So you can always reply to other people chat or similar stuff... But the thing is... I always forgot to connect my phone to my charger... And since I'm always raiding stuff... I never remember to stop midway and charge my phone..."
"Heeee... Really? That's a brand new feature..."
"Well, let's talk about the NWO Feature as we eat. I'm pretty hungry and I want to cook. Most importantly, you want to eat my food after a while, right?"
I nodded vigorously. She smiled happily and then lead me to the kitchen. She started cooking... As she's cooking... I just look at her happy self... It put a genuine smile on my face...
And then I started thinking...
What sorts of content that I have yet to uncover in NWO? Alya's Belian is already level A Hundred Ninety Seven. Which is very high. That means that she's always moving around the map and killing hard content...
Which makes me very excited to play with her... If she give me a freebie that is an equipment, I will also not reject it.
Since she doesn't know that I have a Legendary Equipment with me, I hope that she gets excited when she sees it...
Anyway... Lunch is served and Alya sit down next to me as usual.
"So, what are your next plan about NWO? Where do you want to level up next?"
"I'm thinking about Raiding the Black Iron Mountain Range. You haven't raid it yet right? If so, let's do it tomorrow. I want more gacha ticket. And about my ability, you don't need to worry."
"No, I never doubted your ability. But... Black Iron Mountain Range Raid is not something even I attempt as a solo player you know? There's too many debuffs! Decrease Attack, Decrease Defense, Decrease Accuracy, Poison that deals MAX HP percentage and many more!"
Yeah, I know that. But, with Belian as the main DPS, and Exu as the cleanser and sub DPS... We can do it.
"Don't worry. When you see it, you will know it."
"...? Alright. I'll trust you. Let's be the first one to finish the Black Iron Mountain Range Raid!"
"Yes~ Let's go and do that."
BHG n WHG will surprise her for sure... But, that's going to be happening later. After lunch, She rested up because she just wants to. And of course, I take the responsibility to set another VR Full Dive system.
I set it up for her in her room. Because even though she likes to play in it, Alya doesn't understand the assembling guide...
And eventually, after everything set and done... We set out to pull an all nighter playing NWO.
