Sighs sounded quite loud at his hiding place this time. He wanted to return to his world and not be entangled in the game that seemed to haunt him.
Lazily, he clicked the button on his wristband again.

"Where are they hiding?" whispered Gerald slowly.
Gerald's current position is in the border zone, because zone 3, which should be the next destination after completing zone 2, has not yet been opened.
With a little hesitation, Gerald stepped out of the old uninhabited hut trying to complete the small mission that had just appeared on his status notification.
The dark sky he found when he set foot outside the old hut.
He got silent this time.
His heartbeat was getting faster, not to mention the rhythm of his breathing sounded irregular.
To be honest, he is quite afraid of the zone that he has not mastered, it's just that if he wants to survive, he has to continue with the missions he gets, right?
"Watch out!!!" Shouted someone who was running fast towards him.
With a reflex movement, Gerald backed his body.
"That was close," whispered Gerald when he managed to dodge at the right time.
BAMM!
The sound of the crash sounded quite loud from where Gerald was standing.
"You're so smart, Ellie!" Shouted the girl who had just succeeded in tricking the half-robot animal.
"Who?" Gerald whispered when the girl who had previously shouted at him was now standing in front of him.
"Ellie," the girl said cheerfully as she held out her hand to Gerald.
Gerald hesitantly shook the girl's hand.
Her face looked cheerful but made Gerald look clumsy. He didn't know what to say to the girl.
Ellie, who realized Gerald's response, deliberately drew closer to close the distance between the two of them.
"Are you nervous?" asked Ellie casually showing off her smile which was enough to seduce Gerald.
Gerald gulped down his saliva harshly.
'What's wrong with me? Why do I feel like I'm being controlled by this girl?' Gerald's monologue in his mind seemed hypnotized by Ellie.
"Woah, you look nervous," Ellie said as she broke their handshake.
Gerald couldn't help but nodded his head confirming Ellie's words.
Laughter couldn't be restrained from Ellie's lips. The girl was really cheerful and far in contrast to him.
"Don't you feel pressured to be here?" Gerald whispered, finally working up the courage to ask Ellie.
Ellie stopped laughing and blinked her eyes slowly.
"Isn't it nice to be here?"
Confused Ellie got a question from Gerald earlier.
Gerald took a deep breath. He didn't think that there was a girl who felt that the game that was haunting him was fun.
"You're not afraid that you'll end up trapped here?" asked Gerald back to Ellie.
"Is there something strange? Aren't the games here challenging and fun?"
Again, this is a question that Gerald did not expect.
Gerald looked at the girl's arm first and noticed how many stars were in her hand.
"You lost one of your lives?"
"Ah, I didn't know that zone 1 couldn't be noisy," Ellie said honestly to Gerald.
Gerald nodded his head, understanding Ellie's words because if she doesn't realize the rules that apply, she probably won't last long in the game.
It didn't take long for Gerald to reach out his hand to shake hands again with Ellie.
Ellie frowned in confusion, but before long she accepted Gerald's handshake.
"My name is Gerald, do you want to be my friend?"
"Of course! I like making a lot of friends," said the girl with her cheerful tone.
The bracelet on Gerald's hand seemed to blink.
"Looks like there's a notification for you," said Ellie, who is now starting to be able to adapt to the game world which has made them survivors there.
Gerald's eyes stared at the bracelet he was wearing, and the young man's reflex kept his distance from Ellie, deliberately avoiding it so he could open the existing notification.
[Congratulations! You have completed the mission. You get 1000 points]
A smile appeared on Gerald's face when he received the notification.
After that, Gerald closed his status again and approached Ellie.
"It looks like you just got your reward," Ellie said casually.
A grin appeared on Gerald's face and also a nod of the head was immediately given to the girl.
Oh, come on, can't Gerald control himself in front of Ellie?
That's what he was cursed in his heart now.
'Actually, what are this girl's skills, why am I often hypnotized by her? But...—'
Gerald's eyes were getting closer and closer to the girl's face in front of him.
"Do you like me?"
Gerald spontaneously coughed coughing heard a question that was beyond his control. Oh, come on, why did he meet a girl who had no shame in saying that to a guy like him?
Gerald quickly shook his head. How could he possibly like a woman he had just met amid such an impossible condition now?
He was still sane, although half of his common sense slowly began to decline because he was too depressed to be there.
Fear constantly attacked him.
What if he dies there?
Oh, come on Gerald is young!
That's what he repeatedly believed in himself, even though he didn't know how old he was, as well as whether his identity with the name Gerald was his real name or not.
Laughter sounded quite loud from Ellie's lips. The girl enjoyed being able to tease her 'new friend'.
"You're not afraid of the cold just wearing clothes like that?" asked Gerald trying to stop the girl's laughter.
"Not for now, but I don't know if the next zone is suddenly unexpected," said Ellie while looking at her clothes, which were indeed wearing a crop tee top, accompanied by shorts, had a knife-like weapon mounted in her right pocket, and was equipped with black boots.
Gerald was busy nodding his head because he didn't know how zone 3 would be.
'It seems that this young man is okay too.' Ellie's monologue in her mind watched Gerald from head to toe.
