"So first...how do you two plan to level up?" Sioux said with one hand supporting her chin, as all 4 of us sat down around the table and listened."Fight monsters?" I spoke up carefully."Of course! But everyone knows that, have both you considered doing dungeons?" Sioux asked again."Yeah, but we are both too low levelled..." I said with a low voice."Ahhh...right. This is going to be problem some..." Sioux said, with sad pouted lips. But as she turned her head sideways, her face was relighted at once:"Piphra!" Sioux jumped out of the seat and tackled the new figure in a beat hug at once."Unhand me vile women." the figure protested with a soft emotionless voice, yet showed no sign of resistance. The new figure, who I assumed her name is Piphra, barely appeared to be in her teens, and had a petite build just like Enju. She had long silky white hair, crystal blue eyes, and moonlight pale skin. To go with her look, she wore a blue Gothic dress, along with white stockings and black dress shoes. And because of her blank expression, I swear if she had been still, she could have passed off as a life sized doll. "I am afraid that is one thing I can't do, Uhm! Uhm!" Sioux said with a satisfying grin, as she rubbed her cheeks against Piphra's, who had a blank face of annoyance."GABU GABU!!!" A series of angry chirping came from Piphra as a small plump black bird came out from behind her hair, and attempted to peek a hole into Sioux."Is that a..." my eyes widened."An emperor penguin." Pirpha answered. "I named it Pingu."After coming under fire from several more peeks, Sioux finally backed away and returned to her seat."Why do you always keep that thing around?" Sioux complained, rubbing her hand."It's cute?" Piphra said with a poker face, as she took a seat right beside Eziel. Damn, she's real cute...but of course I don't have the guts to go for it, plus I am really not looking forward to jail..."So they are?" Piphra looked to us, then looked back to her friends for an answer."Ah, they are the new comers. This here is Riga. He took down Thantos." Eziel gestured to me. "And this is-""This is Enju!" Sioux cut him off. "The newest addition to my cute girl harem! HAHAHHA!" Sioux boasted.I am really starting to think it's a guy in there now..."Sioux. You are embarrassing the new comers now." Eziel sighed."Sorry, sorry! Hahaha..." Sioux scratched the back of her head."Hmph. Is this what you called me here for?" Piphra said, with a tinge of impatience."No, we called you here for...for what again?" Sioux looked around, as if the answer was floating around in the air."The world boss event." Piphra sighed. "you said you required my assistance.""Oh yeah, right...wait!" A spark lit up in Sioux's eyes. "We should bring the two of them along!"The whole table was silent for a moment, as I was completely lost of what's going on. On top of the confusion, Piphra scanned the two of us for a moment, adding more unnecessary pressure."Hmph. Whatever. But have you told them our plans yet?""Nope! But now that you are here..."Piphra dreadful sigh, as she saw what was inevitable coming."Hmph. Whatever. I will explain them myself."After half an hour of monotone explanation about the location, stats and ability of the boss, I felt the chair was part of my butt at this point."So tomorrow we are meeting in beginner's town at 6:00pm right?" I repeated the question."Indeed." Piphra yawned. "It's getting late for me. I shall retire to sleep now. Good night.""Good night." Piphra disappeared, just as we barely finished our parting words. "Well, looks like that's my cue to leave..." Sioux got up from her seat."Wait!" I shot up from my seat, and all of a sudden all the eyes were upon me.What are you doing Raymond? You are embarrassing yourself! Time seemed to move as slow as muddy sand, as I took in a huge gulp.I need to add them as a friend, this might just be my only chance!I made a sound with my throat.Shit! I need to form words not useless sounds!"Ca-annn I..."Pull your shit together Raymond! Your so close...your soooo...."I..."FK! I can't get the words out!The two tilted their head sideways at me.Oh shit, now they are looking at me..."Oh! Before you two leave, we should all add each other as friends!" Enju spoke up cheerful voice."Oh, yeah thanks for reminding. I almost lost a valuable member of my harem!" Sioux clasped her hand together delightfully and squealed."I suppose adding a friend won't hurt." Eziel said with a small nod of approval. YESSSSSS!!!Ok, I wasn't sure whether or not I screamed the last part in my head or screamed literally, cause next moment, when I blink open my eyes again, everyone in the hall was staring at me.Shit...I gulped. Q: Have you ever met a person with poker face personality IRL?
