Chapter 22 - Chapter 21 – First Game Accomplishment

Third person POV

 Shuto, Minato, and Koyuki were shocked to see Evil Eugeo threatening Roxas.

 "What the…?"

 "No way, not him again…"

 "Oh, no…"

Minato gets a bit traumatized by the Elite Player and hides behind his friend Shuto.

Upon seeing them, Evil Eugeo smirked at them. "This is what happens if you go against me or my friends."

He showed them the punishment by stabbing Roxas, again the second time on that day.

 "NO!" Shuto was horrified.

 "Ro-kun!" Minato shouted.

Evil Eugeo chuckled like a villain, before pulling out his sword.

Roxas was shocked and felt pain.

But luckily, Anko was connected to Roxas by the contract so Anko managed to heal Roxas immediately.

 "Woah…" Roxas felt that the pain was gone.

 "Wow, it did happen!" Shuto responded back in stunning.

 "See? It did happen!" Minato looked at him and Koyuki. "No joke, Ro-kun was technically immortal."

Because of Anko's work for him, Roxas looked at Anko and said, "Thank you, Anko-kun."

Anko then looked at him and winked with a smile.

Evil Eugeo was shocked, and Anko changed from nice and happy-going to serious and cold, revealing to him about himself as Roxas' spirit guardian and telling him off for doing that to Roxas. "How dare you abuse your power on him and others? I am so disgusted by your actions."

Surprisingly, Evil Eugeo was annoyed of him and scoffed his words off. "Whatever, you're literally dead anyway."

 "It is my duty to protect, guide, and help my vessel Roxas Nietes," Anko replied back.

Evil Eugeo didn't want to hear any more words from Anko and just teleported from the scene after scoffing at him again, leaving the area.

 After that, Roxas' friends were amazed at Anko's bravery and protection for Roxas and complimented them. "Yes, of course." Anko switched back to his happy side. "Me and Roxas-kun are inseparable basically and literally." Roxas was happy for him.

 Afterwards, the Nitama Group cleared the rest of the dungeon tunnels under Koto City, gaining more experience points along the way and leveling up to a few more levels. So, they all left the area and went back to Kanagawa by Tokyo Subway once again. There at the Adventurers' Guild, they received their rewards, which consisted of 1,000 Gold Yen for each of them. The time was 4:11 p.m. Anko was content of not receiving his part of it.

 With that, they went to a supermarket to buy some ingredients to make Takoyaki balls for dinner. Later, at home in the evening, they made some Takoyaki balls using Minato's Takoyaki Balls maker machine, alongside a jug of iced tea with ice cubes and some mochi of assorted colors. Roxas added some Filipino-style cheese sticks as side dishes. All of them celebrated their first accomplishment of a completed quest in the game.

Roxas' friends contributed their success to Roxas' smartness, only for Roxas to say, "Um, guys, my contribution for our quest is small in general."

 "Come on, my good friend," Shuto replied back in insisting, "you and your ghost friend had helped us so much."

Roxas then eventually agreed and said, "Okay, for the most part. Cheers!"

All of them then toasted their drinks once more before drinking and continuing their celebration party with eating, chatting, and laughing on that last day of the weekend before this weekday's school days would start.

 Meanwhile, at The Tower, Evil Eugeo reported to his friends and the game's creator about Roxas' recent activities plus Anko's ghostly antics for him. The game's creator and Evil Kirito and his friends were disgusted by his reports, wondering how all of these are even possible. Evil Eugeo, however, don't even know how, leaving the speculations on the sidelines for now.
