Chapter 93: Party's Side.
1082 Words
While Shiro and Michi is out of commission for the night. The rest of the party is not. So they decided to attend the party that is being held out the first night in the hotel. Everyone is dressing nice and looking very refined. Obviously, despite this being a party where everyone is supposed to get together and get to know each other better. Circles that has been established even before the party... Is going to be together. Including the Paradies Circle.
"Damn, the party is stacked huh."
"Well, our party is stacked too, don't you think, Dion?"
"Kind of. But Rio, we forgot our main man here. Just you, me and Sakura ain't gonna cut it."
"It's fine. Let the man rest up with the queen. Just us three is enough. After all, I did manage to beat out everyone else."
"Tch. I guess so. The top three is still the top three after all. Still salty about my loss though."
"Don't be. The more you linger on defeat the more your mind is hurting, the best way to get through the pain is to push through. Only then you can get stronger."
"... Who are you? Shiro?"
"I did sound like him for a moment."
After a bit of chuckles from everyone in the circle. They found an unoccupied table and immediately sat there before anyone steals it from them. The three of them immediately make themselves comfortable in the seat that has been prepared for them.
"I guess without the leader of Paradies, it felt awkward huh."
From the crowd, a very fancy man came toward the party while swirling his glass of water for style points.
"... Tywin. Why the style, huh?"
"Rio. No need to call me out on that. Anyway. I'm here to stop everything that can go wrong from actually going wrong."
Tywin take a seat on the table with everyone else and immediately, everyone can see the effects it had. Not a single person in the room stare at them with hostile intention. Not even the waiters are approaching them to give them 'stuffs.'
"What are you guys doing in the party anyway?"
Tywin asked Dion why they're here specifically. Since the master is not here, Tywin asked the Vice-Master. Dion just sigh at that question and stated.
"We would like to take a rest too. But, just like why everyone are here. We're here to show you guys from the company that we're here not for play only. We're here because we have something to prove to you guys. Also, because Shiro is not here, who's going to represent the best player in the world? I don't think anyone can represent him other than us. Players who's right below him."
"That's a very nice reason that you have given me. You guys did not disappoint anyone in the company. You all have shown us the sign of greatness that Eclipse Online can produce. Not to mention, you guys are the representatives of the game beside Shiro. If he's not here, you guys are the chosen one. So, I guess that makes sense."
Tywin are very satisfied with the direct and immediate answer that Dion has given him. It's like he knows his job as a Vice-Master.... Tywin closes his eyes and immediately... From out of nowhere.
"Thanks for your confirmation, my dear Vice-Master. Your answer satisfy me too."
A very familiar voice breaches everyone ears and everyone immediately stopped moving for a single moment. All of the party goers neck, turns to the side and see a singular figure standing with normal t-shirt and shorts on.
It's none other than the representative of the game himself. Shiro Shirone.
"Sorry for the late attendance. I have some matters to take care just earlier and since it's done. I might as well come down and enjoy some time off with my friends."
I lightly take my seat without any worries in the world and then yawn lightly. Everyone was taken a back with what I just did and I just grin.
"I guess every single movement I made is that important now?"
"With someone with big image to keep, everyone is very surprised that you act that lightly and nonchalantly, Captain. It's natural that they're wondering if this is normal or not."
Dion stated something like that and everyone in my table agrees... I just sigh lightly and then take a proper seat.
"I guess so huh. Anyway. Despite me being pretty tired. I have something to tell you, my party."
There's a reason why I left Michi in our room all alone despite us two wanting to take a nap immediately.
"What is that?"
"Tomorrow, I'm inviting you guys to go and join me to explore the Coggensville Capital. Coggs Villa. I have the key of the progress with me and I want to explore it tomorrow at noon."
"Wait?! You have the key already?"
"I kind of knew this would happen... Since, I can't obtain the key anymore."
"Why at noon though?"
Dion, Rio and Sakura takes turn giving their reaction towards me. The only thing that I don't like about their reaction is Dion's reaction. Of course I have the key already. Who do you think I am? Also Rio, you are indeed my rival. If I take my step a little bit later, you would get it...
"The reason why I want to do it noon is because I have a bit of an appointment to perfect my personal device in the morning with Hanami. I'm going to be in my prime time when it's time for me to be prime mode."
"That's noon huh. I guess I can wait for that time."
Rio finished the conversation with that. Everyone nodded after hearing what Rio just said. Of course, I immediately take a chug of Tywin's water that he's been swirling like an i***t.
"Ah~ Right. Don't do anything stupid just because your leader aren't here. If you do anything stupid. Then I will have to take your name out of the Paradies guild. After all, I don't want to be around someone who's fool around and not knowing which one is the right choice."
"You just have to lecture us huh. Well, we ain't gonna do s**t, Shiro. You take your time and sleep."
"Sleep tight~ Leader~"
"Say good night to Michi for me!"
Once again, they said that towards me. I waved at them before leaving them once again...
