*Anyway here a short-type story that i'm making, Hitoshi, nope this story not gonna disturb Seikatsu ONLINE progress. It just a story that i want to relax with.

Chapter 9

With a meat curry flavored bun, I walked away from the convenience store. I also buy a carton of milk as supply.

“Ahh, I want to sleep…”

The first thing, I’ll do when I’m backed home is, of course sleep. I can’t keep playing the game forever. All humans need to rest okay?

“My butt felt a little bit uncomfortable…ugh…”

This must be because I’m sitting for almost 5 hours straight…..The manual actually recommend player to lie on bed when using V.W.C, but I was too excited, that I want to start the game as fast as I can. Ugh….and now the result is this….

“I regret it…..”

***

*Yawn~*

Ahhhh! Now I feel refreshed! Sleeping really help human rejuvenated their body huh?

“Brush teeth~”

I’ll take a jog after brushing my teeth, you have to keep being active to be healthy okay?

Now then where is my tracksuit? It supposed to be in my closet isn’t it?

………………….

Ah whatever let just jog with this cloth, it still morning, not like there many people out there…..

“I should also talk about S.O to the others, they might want to join me.”

What I mean by others, is my two best friends, Reina Akiyama and Akihiko Fukui, both are my best friends that I know for a long time. I called Akihiko as Aki, I already known him since we’re in the kinder garden. I’m not really sure how can we still stick together that long. Because of his long name, I just shortened it. For Reina, well I know her since childhood already, she what I called “childhood friend”, though it sounds like every man dream for having child hood friend, but it doesn’t.

SERIOUSLY IT DOESN’T.

And the others, is my comrade, Aimi Inoue, Daichi Ito, and Chika Maki. What I mean by comrade is, we have the same interest and hobby. We have created a small club at our high school. We do some stupid event and stuff….ahhh how nostalgic….Though it’s not like we’re splitting up, we still contacting each other frequently. We even make a small group using social network for us only.

I wonder if some of them already start S.O? Maybe not, not one of them tell it in the group. Well then, let’s meet up with all of them after this. Well, for Reina I can just meet her up while jogging, our house is close after all.

“Okay, let’s go!”

Let’s start with slow jog, jogging suddenly at a fast pace is bad for your heart!

***

And right now I’m sweating while doing a seiza. In front of me is a girl with a black straight hair and straight bang. Right now she wears a white shirt with black skirt. Even though she looks like an office lady, it can’t be compared to a normal level office lady. She is a perfect level of office lady. She looks really refined and elegant while drinking the tea. Even though I don’t want to admit how refined she is, I have too! Man can’t lie to his heart!

“So, what did you say?”

“U-uhm, I’m saying that I have started to play S.O yesterday.”

“I see….do you still remember about “that” promise?”

“Y-yeah…..”

“Lying is prohibited.”

Dammit!!! How could I forgotten it!? Oh gosh….my goodness….what should I do!? Why did I forget the promise!!!!! Argh……let just use the trump card…..even though this will lowered my dignity…

*Bang*

“I’m really sorry! Actually I forgot about the promise after I’ve got the machine yesterday! I’m too excited and just went to dive straight into the game by myself! Please forgive this humble servant for forgetting about the promise with you Reina-sama!”

Yes that is the legendary, dogeza, no one can do it smoothly and perfectly easily. I have practice this skill for a long time!

“Hoh, only Reina-sama?”

“Oh my beautiful Reina-sama who has the beauty piercing the sky, and have a body tha-“

*Punch*

O-ouch…..what was that for…..

“You dare to comment my body!? Don’t tell me you have peeks at my naked body!?”

“N-no! Of course not! It just my opinion! Opinion! I’ll never peek at your gracious body!”

If I ever peek at her, I’ll be dead after all. But maybe I’ll die happily?

*Twitch*

“Then are you saying that my body is not worth to be peeked at?”

WHAT SHOULD I SAY AT THIS MOMENT!? WHAT KIND OF UNFAIRNESS IS THIS!?

“O-of course not! There is thousand- no, millions of people that want to peek at your body milady!”

“Hmph! One more words from you, I’ll slap you on the cheek.”

“Y-ye-“

*Slap*

“Are you deaf?”

“…….”

O-oof, though it’s not really hurt on my cheek…..it hurt more at other place…

“Then how should we solve this? You know this is not a small matter right?”

“Y-“

*Slap*

“………”

“I’m asking you what should you do to compensate this?”

“………”

“Hey answer me.”

“U-“

*Slap*

HOW THE HELL SHOULD I ANSWER YOU!???? Not like I can say that in front of her…..I’m a failure as a man……*cry*

“…….”

“You can now talk.”

“Y-yes ma’am…”

“So which starter region did you choose?”

“ milady!”

“Hoh, not a bad choice.”

By the way, even though she look this refined, she actually a heavy gamer too. Of course the influence comes from me. Even though she really cute in the past….

So she probably already has search a lot of information about S.O.

“You are thinking something rude right?”

“O-of course not milady! How does this humblest servants dares to think something like milady is cute in the past and have change to 180 degrees in the present!?”

“You say what?”

Oof…….i’m dead.

“Seiza in 1 hour.”

“Yes…..”

***

“…….that what happen……”

Right now I’m in a family café, drinking a cup of coffee latte.

“……you…really are an idiot…”

And in front of me is one of my best friends, Aki.

“So how did you able to run away from her?”

“I jump from her window when she taking a drink downstairs~ Tehee~”

I make an embarrassing 80’s pose.

“………...Well, knowing you, that certainly is not surprising…”

Aren’t I’m brilliant? I’m like a ninja ya’ know. Though…..I don’t know what to do when I meet her again….and that promises….is it still valid?

“But, what are you going to do when you meet her again? I doubt she will just let it slide.”

“I’ll…..just think when the times come-“

*Ring*

“……………..”

I look at Aki with a pair of eyes of full determination.

“……………..”

*Ring* *Ring*

“……………….”

I felt like my determination is wavering……my face is full of cold sweat. I meaningfully look at Aki with pleading eyes.

“No.”

And what I got is a broken hope.

*Ring!!*

“Just give up, you should take the call. You still got the chance to apologize.”

“YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING. THERE NEVER EVER ANY “APOLOGIZE” IN HER DICTIONARY”

“Certainly. That is why just pick it up. Not like you have any other choices.”

Just like he said, there no other choice…..

*Pick*

“H-hello…..”

“Come back here NOW.”

“Yes Ma’am!”

*Click*

“………………………….”

“Well then goodbye.”

“Yeah, good luck on your journey brave hero. I, as your friend will always support you.”

Aki you’re the best.
