"Party Registration Complete"

We both stand at the entrance to the ruins. Then he was pulled inside to be sucked in, and when he noticed he was in a dim ruin.

The interior is slightly pine and has a narrow impression.

Well, maybe it's because of the size of the outside.

"What class is Luli in?

"Mmm... Magic Swordsman"

"Heh! Why did you make that class?

"... because it's cool to wield weapons and fight demons.... but I also wanted to try magic, so I made it a magic swordsman who could do both"

"Haha, that's right"

I walk through the ruins chatting with Luli properly.

"... what about Shannon? Why militants?

"I am, to rub your father!

…… What's that...?

Explain the situation for now. As we proceeded that way, we quickly arrived at the deepest depths.

... I arrived...

"Wow, there are so many demons..."

"... shouldn't we run away from this...?

The floor is a huge space, but there were countless demons.

I have 50 of them for a quick quote......

"No, maybe you shouldn't run away. It's where the two of us partied and went in, so we're working together to wipe out all the demons."

That's what I say to Luli, put up my fists.

"If you're scared, I'll do it alone, okay? What do we do?"

"... do it! As much as I'd rather compete. Shanan is over there because I'm in charge here..."

"Yeah. Okay. Then fight which one can be defeated sooner."

We enter the floor at the same time. And he started attacking demons.

A few minutes later, where I had finally reduced the demons by about half, Luli had already swept away the demons in her own realm.

"My win... I'll cover Shannon now"

"Phew... please..."

I'm not waving any points on defense, so I don't really want to eat enemy attacks. If I had acted cautiously, Luli would have lightly devastated me.

"Luli, you're amazing! Strong!"

"...... hmm. I can also use magic so I can target enemies with ranged attacks or something. I'm good at this kind of struggle!

Hunce! And Luli puts her chest up with a doya face.

Good. I feel safe playing games like I'm having so much fun.

"Shanan, there's a crest over there!

When I saw it, two crests appeared on the altar in the back.

I tried touching the crest for both of us.

[Shanan got the water crest]

Yay! Now you're getting the first one! Surely when you collect the four, you proceed to the basement fourth floor, right?

That way, we could safely go outside the ruins.

"Phew. Good luck, Luli."

"Oh, good luck... Oh, you know, Shannon..."

Somehow Luli was mojimoji.

"Hmm? What's going on?

"Oh, uh, next... the... ahhh..."

Oh, well. I know what I'm trying to say!

"Hey, Luli. Why don't you go get the next crest with me? Of course, keep the party registered."

When I asked her to do so from me, Luli's expression became a lot brighter.

"Ugh, yeah! More, the... I want to play with Shannon..."

Awwww!? Luli finally opened her heart to me!! I'm so glad!!

"Me too, I wanted to play more with Luli!

When I told her that, Luli turned red and leaned down.

It's lit, Luli. Lovely.

That's how we headed down another route to get the next crest. The two of us kicked the demon, and the second crest could be found lightly.

[Shanan got the crest of the earth]

But I realized it was time to log out here.

"Bye, Luli, it's time for me to fall"

"... ok. If Shannon falls, so do I. So, the..."

Once again, Luli started to mozzle.

"Oh, tomorrow... is...?

"I'll log in as much time tomorrow as I do today. Luli, can you get in too?

"Yeah... I want to see you again tomorrow with Shanan..."

I was stared at with some sort of abandoned jealous dog.

If they see you like that, they won't be able to leave you alone worried...

That's how we waved and logged out.

- Day three from the start of the game.

[Shanan got Gacha tickets]

Yay! Today's login bonus is Gacha Tickets!

Recovery pills on the first day. It was gold yesterday, but you're happy with the gacha tickets!

I suppressed my urge to use it immediately. So far I have only pulled a silver hassle. I kind of feel like I'm going to get silver again if I pull it off like this. Then why don't you clear the basement three floors and make two tickets? That way, I feel like even if one of them is silver, the other one or so is going to hit me.

... Well, it's usually a matter of luck...

In the meantime I decided to save it.

And Rulli's not coming in. I promised this place yesterday, at this hour.

Maybe I can't finish school homework or something, and I can't get in today. If so, I can't help but wait, so I guess I'll just take a tour of the basement third floor.

Luli said she'd already taken the wind crest, so I'll keep it in the meantime.

Having so decided, I proceeded to the aisle with a wind crest on the third basement floor.

[Shanan got the crest of the wind]

You just got a third crest without any particular problems!

There's one more thing left, but I wonder if Luli won't be in today...

It was when I thought so.

- Picoline! Picoline!

Somehow a notification sounded.

I opened the command and apparently I got an email. Looking at the destination, what a relief it was from Luli.

I hurry to open the contents.

'Sorry. I knew it was me, I quit this game already. I really enjoyed yesterday. Thanks for everything.... Goodbye'

The shock causes the heart to bounce.

Unbelievable and distorted in front of me.

I was so shocked. I didn't know what it meant, it just solidified, my body was shaking.

"Ah, login status!?"

I can't help being stunned. I'll turn my head full and check on the login status of Luli, who was a friend. The fact that I emailed means that I've been in for at least the meantime.

Luli, who appeared on my friends list, was still logged in.

I rush to open a personal chat and send a message to Luli.

Shanan: Luli, what's wrong!?

I sent it in a hurry.

Anyway, I wanted to send you a message and stop you before you logged out.

And go on and keep typing the letters.

Shanan: Something happened!? Where are you now?!?

Then I got just one reply.

Luli: The First City

Shanan: Okay. I'll be right back!

Closed the chat and I immediately ran out to the transfer device.

Return from the transfer device to the city and glimpse through the city square. But Luli is nowhere.

I checked the login status again.

It's okay, I'm still in.

I wonder where the hell he is. Luli has been afraid to make contact with someone since she was rejected by other users. If so, there are very few people. There's always Sylvia in the alley!

I enter the alley from between shops. Beyond that, shops like the one used by the Xuan people line up, places unknown to people. Instead of Sylvia being gone today, Luli was nodding.

"Luli!!"

Run over and kneel in front of Luli.

"... Shannon...?

Luli, who raised her face with an invigorating voice, still looked like she was going to cry.

"Quit what!? What happened!?"

As I inquired, Luli began to talk slightly as she leaned down.

"... today, before I logged in here, I was looking into the dungeon quest. I was looking at what kind of information there was and what kind of writing there was. Then, among the various message boards, there was a" bad player exposure thread "..."

I was breathtaking.

"Player Exposed Thread". Your father told me about it. It's a thread that puts on one player after another that you don't like or that gets in the way of the game and calls attention to everyone you watch.... However, they are quite radical and include personal grievances and subjectivity.

"Luli. Enough..."

At this point, the general flow could have been expected.

"... there was my name on it, and it said something terrible... like die -"

"- Because I already know!

I hugged Luli. I couldn't help but...

Luli's body was trembling like that and she felt a squeaky exhale.

"Luli, you don't have to worry about writing like that. Your father said that bulletin boards, for better or worse, are where people's hearts come from. And, you know, some of them prefer radical topics. They use rumblings that they can't talk about in real life, and they want stimulation. Luli may have been listed there, but if you keep your manners properly from now on, you'll be fine, okay?

"... but it could piss you off in the game. They might say bad things... I'm scared of that..."

"It's okay. I'm here. When you're in the game, I'll be by your side the whole time. I'm on Luli's side at all times."

"... Shannon... but Shannon isn't annoying...?

"It's not annoying. 'Cause we're friends now, right? As I said yesterday, you know, I've always wanted a friend to play games with. That's why I'm so happy to be friends with Luli."

Luli was confused. I dyed my cheeks a little shy and still those hands don't grab my clothes cuddly and let go.

"... Wow, I'm glad to be friends with Shannon, too. I want to be with Shanan more!

"Eh heh. Then let's attack the third basement! It's okay, don't worry. Yeah, only a handful of players are watching the boards."

With that said, I pull Luli's hand and head to the basement third floor again.

"... it's good to meet me, Shannon..."

I heard him squeal that way with a small voice that was about to be wiped out by the murmurs around him. It was me who would be happy with those words.
