Previously, in the last chapter of volume 1...
I left the house to go to the convention and to meet Rena. I walk through my neighborhood and the city to reach the subway station. When I'm on the train, I give my seat to an old woman and we talk a lot before the train arrived at my stop. I order an uber to go to the hotel to check-in. After preparing everything, I go to the dining hall to have lunch. After that, I go to the place where the convention is held. Suddenly, hands cover my eyes and ask me who is she. It takes me a while to recognize her voice. Rena is behind me.
Present...
I turn around and see the most gorgeous woman in the world standing in front of me, looking at me with her radiant smile. That smile... is not only pretty but it's also contagious, making me smile too.
And that face... no words can describe her face. Her eyes are sky blue, similar to the real one up in the sky, beautiful and can't look away. Her lips are plump and full, giving a more youthful and attractive appearance. Her natural pink lips are smooth and soft, alluring any men who see them, it's also smooth and doesn't have any cracks or lines.
Her skin is smooth, soft, and flawless, with a natural glow that seems to emanate from within. Its softness, when you touch it, you can feel the small bounces. If I can, I want to touch her face every day to refill my energy. She has long, flowing, dark black hair, and bang cover her forehead. Her hair is also smooth and each of her hair is not stuck to the other, knowing that she takes care of her hair.
She has a tall, statuesque figure with long, toned legs and a curvy figure. She takes good care of her body and enjoys regular exercise and a healthy diet, which helps to keep her looking and feeling her best. But, she's not as tall as me, just a few centimeters shorter. If she wears high heels, still not gonna surpasses me.
She's wearing a white shirt and a jeans jacket. She also wears dark blue jeans and black and white Converse. On her right arm is a branded smartwatch with sky-blue straps from a premium company that makes premium gadgets. On her waist is a sky-blue quilted sling handbag with a small fake gold chain attached to it. Last but not least, a gold bracelet on her left forearm.
"Kai? Can you hear me?" She waves her hand in front of me, concerns that I don't react at all. How can I not? Her presence alone is enough to stun me!
"Yes, yes, I can hear you. Why're you covering my eyes from behind? What if you do that to the wrong man? Won't you get embarrassed?"
"Don't worry, that won't happen. I know how you look even from behind. You're so easy to recognize!" Really? Am I that easy? What, what makes me so recognizable? Is it the way I dress, my height, or the way I act around?
"Forget about that, how are you, Kai? This is the first time we meet face-to-face in real life without the cameras, monitors, and microphones in front of us that always became the 'middle man'." She says.
"Yeah, it feels unreal that it took us months to finally meet. But, hey, you look beautiful today. Even more beautiful than when you were streamed or when we had video calls. I love it." I compliment her look.
"Hihihi, really? It took me hours to finish the makeup and dressing. Thank you~! You look good too. You look striking today!" She compliments me back.
"Thank you. So, are we gonna go in right now or we wait? Actually, when is the event gonna start? I don't remember." I actually really don't remember anything about the time when it started or ended. I just know that the event will start today.
"Oh, it has started already at 10 am and now, it's... *looks at her watch* 1.40 pm. We can go in now if you want or we can walk around first to take pictures or do anything. Ah, speaking of pictures, let's take a selfie! I want it to be our first moment in this place, right here, the place where we stand right now. Come on, get a little close!" She suggests taking a selfie and taking out her phone from her bag and opening the camera app. She uses a high-end smartphone from the same company that makes the smartwatch that she's wearing.
I get a little close to her to make sure that the camera can take a selfie of us without any problem. Judging from the brand, I'm pretty sure that the result will end up perfect. She takes a few selfies with a lot of poses and hand signs, making me have to do the same. This is exhausting! I don't know that she can be this energetic when it comes to selfies.
"Okay, okay, let us move on to other places because I start to get tired when I have to lower my body like this. I thought that you were quite tall but after seeing you this close, I just realize that you're not as tall as I thought." I say.
I think I just offend her a little because of her face when she's looking at me. She's smiling but also not? I don't know. But, what I know is don't mention anything about her height even though she's not that short like other women I met before.
We moved to other places to take selfies like a statue of a person that I don't know who he was, a place full of colorful flowers, and any place that could be a beautiful background for the photos.
After we get a ton of selfies, we came across a stall that sells crepe. I never try one before but she has tried it and she says that crepe is one of her favorite food ever. Especially the one with strawberry filling. So, she tells me to buy two crepes for her and me.
I stand in front of the stall, wondering what flavor I want because there are so many kinds of flavors for crepe from chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, and much more. From what I see, most of the flavors will have fruits on them as a topping. I know what flavor to get for Rena but I still don't know which one I should get.
The owner of the crepe stall notices that I still didn't choose anything, so he recommends I get the basic one since this is my first time trying crepe. I just agree with him and choose the basic crepe. He then prepares them in just a few minutes. Then, I receive the crepes while they're still hot and pay. I thank the owner and leave to the bench where Rena sits.
I hand over the crepe with strawberry filling to her before sitting next to her. Then, I take a bite to taste the deliciousness of the crepe that she has been talking about. From what I can say, its taste is extraordinary with the sweetness of the filling, the crunch of the thin pancake, and the blueberries giving out the sweet taste with a bit of acid and juice when I bite down. I want to replicate this thing at home if possible.
After we've done eating, we talk a bit about our life. Apparently, she lives in another state, west of the state where I live right now. So, that's why it was hard for us to meet. She told me before that she has a younger brother and when I ask her about how is he doing, she says that he's doing fine. Because she lives with her parents, she can leave him at home without having to worry about his safety.
I just realize something and ask her, "Hey, is it okay to not go inside yet? Don't we have to make some appearances on the stage or something?" I ask her this because it has been an hour and we still not go into the building where the convention is held. I start to worry if we miss some sort of event.
"Don't worry, if the schedule is right, our time should be tomorrow. Tomorrow will be a day when all famous gaming influencers come and have a meeting with their fans. Today is nothing too special since it's only day one." She's assuring me.
Anyway, we decide to go to the building to see if we can do anything with our special VIP invitation cards. We walk until we arrive at the main door. There is no one guarding the door, I guess safety is not their number one priority.
We open the door and see a table where we need to sign. We go to the table and the receptionist tells us that we have to pay if we want to get inside. But, as soon as we show her the invitation, she immediately gets nervous and apologizes. She grabs the lanyard with our name on it and tells us that we can use this thing to get what VIPs only get.
We take the lanyard and put it on. We thank her and go inside the actual place.
