"Well, well... Aren't we meeting a lot this past few days?"
BlueHeroine arrived at the site of Luel and SilverPup's Raid or, rather, she finally found them after flying above the night sky of the Area CC+1 Barren State for more than an hour.
"And don't you dare think I'm delighted about that, PoodlePup."
"I can say the same to you, BlueB*."
While SilverPup and BlueHeroine keep on hurling insults towards each other, the one responsible for BlueHeroine's arrival finally manages to get back on his feet after getting knocked down by the Rank C Ragnarok Beast Lycan.
Even though they ended their time together with a misunderstanding, Luel was happy that Amy still messaged him to remind him of their agreement that Luel would contact her when he logged in to RAIDS ONLINE. Especially if Luel is planning to meet SilverPup on his Raid to increase his Link Force.
It's not that Luel wanted to spend more time with Amy even if it's just within a game. Rather, Luel needs Amy's help to confirm what Amy has said about SilverPup on her first day at Luel's house.
That's why Luel decided to message Amy at what time he would meet SilverPup and where the location of their Raid.
"Anyway, what are you doing here, BlueB*? Don't tell me you don't have any friends, that's why you keep bothering me and Lucent?"
SilverPup has a smirk on her face as she says her remarks, and BlueHeroine immediately understands what SilverPup's smug face is for.
BlueHeroine is standing at lower ground on top of the lifeless body of the Rank C Ragnarok Beast Lycan while SilverPup is standing at higher ground on top of a mountain of corpses of all Rank D Ragnarok Beast Werewolves that she defeated and devoured.
It's not about the numbers of the Ragnarok Beasts they have defeated and devoured, nor the ranking. What SilverPup is getting smug of is the fact that she's looking down at BlueHeroine literally because of the elevation difference.
That's why BlueHeroine spread her wings to fly mid-air above SilverPup.
"Well, well... Someone is getting insecure, aren't we BlueB*?"
Of course, BlueHeroine didn't want to be looked down on. As an ex-Idol or, rather, Amy has a proud and confident personality. She won't tolerate anyone looking down on her and those she cares about.
"Let's see if you can keep that mouth of yours after I exposed you, PoodlePup."
"Huh?..."
While SilverPup is wondering about BlueHeroine's remark, Luel approaches in front of the mountain of Werewolf's corpses and begins SilverPup's interrogation.
"Answer me, SilverPup... Why are we only doing our Raid at Area CC+1 Barren State?"
.

...Don't trust that PoodlePup so much, Mr. Luel. She might be acting like a Saint in front of other RAIDS ONLINE players, but I'm sure she's hiding something else. I tried to use my authority as a RAIDS ONLINE officer to look at SilverPup's personal information, but nothing came out about her. That's only possible if she's not a real person or she has more authority than a RAIDS ONLINE officer. And you what's worse? That PoodlePup is planning to...

"You're not planning to feed me to another high-ranking Ragnarok Beast, aren't you SilverPup?"
Putting aside SilverPup's mysterious identity, what Luel is concerned about is that Amy has told him that SilverPup is helping him to increase his Link Force only to use him again and again as bait for another high-ranking Ragnarok Beast.
It's normal that once a player's Link Force reaches past the 25 percent Link Force boundary, the chance of being hunted by a high-ranking Ragnarok Beast will increase as well. Once they reach past the 50 percent Link Force boundary, then it's inevitable that they will encounter a Rank A or B Ragnarok Beast.
There's nothing wrong with SilverPup helping Luel to increase his Link Force, but intentionally using him as bait not just once but repeatedly, even for the sake of gathering information about the high-ranking Ragnarok Beasts, is against the unspoken and unwritten rules enforced by RAIDS ONLINE officers.
RAIDS ONLINE officer doesn't tolerate players who intentionally cause other player's death. After all, players can experience pain similar to dying every time they are killed by Ragnarok Beasts.
"I won't be able to ban your account, PoodlePup. But I'm sure I can petition for the disbandment of the Orion Guild. Since you and your Guild had records of abusing players with high-starting Link Force."
"BlueB*..."
SilverPup understood that BlueHeroine's treat was not a joke. But still...
"Didn't the Orion Guild already make a public apology about that incident, especially to those players? Besides, you don't even have proof that I'm planning on feeding Lucent..."
SilverPup tried to lie her way out but BlueHeroine immediately cut off her speech.
"Tell us, PoodlePup. How many high-ranking Ragnarok Beasts are lurking around at this place of Area CC+1 Barren State."
"Ugh!..."
"Come on, say it... Don't pretend that you don't know the exact number and don't you dare think of lying to Lue... Ahem... To Lucent."
SilverPup starts to panic, unable to say anything, as BlueHeroine pressures her while Luel stares at her with a look of disappointment.
"If you're not going to answer then let me say it for you, PoodlePup. There are three..."
"I'm sorry!..."
Before BlueHeroine can identify the high-ranking Ragnarok Beasts lurking around their location, SilverPup jumps from the top of the mountain of Werewolf's corpses all the way down to Luel.
Luel stumbles on the ground with SilverPup sitting on top of him, crying and asking forgiveness for her devious plan.
"I'm sorry... Please don't start hating me, Lucent... Waaahhhh!..."
"Please calm down!... Get off me, SilverPup!"
"I just wanted to get more information about the high-ranking Ragnarok Beasts... Waaahhhh!..."
"Get away from Lue... I mean Lucent, PoodlePup!"
BlueHeroine came down to the ground to separate SilverPup away from Luel. However, SilverPup starts clinging to Luel to resist BlueHeroine's pull.
The serious confrontation between Luel, BlueHeroine, and SilverPup has been turned into what looks like a love triangle quarrel without knowing that their Raid is still being live-streamed on Luel's RAIDS ONLINE Channel.
