We are on our way back to home. Nothing really happened at school today.

"Hey Das"

Elena said, she is still eating the snacks I bought in the morning, without my permission of course.

"Yes?"

"You are coming in LWO today right?"

"LWO?"

"Len World Online"

"Oh, Yeah"

"Then wait for me near the fountain, okay?"

She said the same thing yesterday.

"Okay"

"And don't talk to strangers"

I am not a kid.

"I won't"

"And if you run into those two, don't talk to them"

"You mean Ricky and Rikka?"

"Yeah"

They really don't get along with each other. According to them Elena kicked them out of the party.

"Why do hate them this much?"

"They left me all alone"

Huh? Left her alone? But they said she kicked them out, what's going on...

"Okay then Das"

"What?"

"Let's kiss"

"Huh? Wait what?"

"It's Friday, kissy day"

We made a deal that we will only kiss on weekends, and we sometimes even kiss on Friday.

"But we kissed yesterday"

"So what?"

"Well..."

"Does it not feel good?"

"It's not like that"

It feels super good, I want to kiss her all day, as if I could say that.

"Okay"

She closed her eyes, I closed mine and our lips touched each other...her lips are soft. We have kissed many times but whenever we kiss it feels good, I feel like I am--

"Oh my, high schoolers this day"

"They have no shame"

Huh? I opened my eyes to see two women looking at us.

"Das"

I looked at Elena, she was about to cry.

"Hey it's okay let's go"

I grabbed her hand and started walking. We always kiss in the park and make sure that no one is around, this time too we made sure no one is around but...

"People are dangerous"

I looked at Elena, she is still embarrassed.

"Hey it's okay, it's not a big deal"

"It is, it's super embarrassing"

Then don't ask me to kiss you every time we pass through the park.

She is holding my hand tightly.

"Want to stop by at café?"

"Can we?"

Oh, she is back to normal.

"Yeah"

As usual, I ordered nothing but...

"If you eat this much you will get fat"

"I am trying to get the fat on my chest"

"....."

"You like big ones right?"

"It's not like that"

"You didn't deny"

She kicked me.

"Didn't I tell you yesterday that I will love you no matter...ah"

I said it again without realizing. I looked Elena, she is glaring at me while stuffing the cakes in her mouth.

"Mmf mu mmphmf"

"Huh? What did you say?"

"I said, 'Das you idiot' "

Yeah, I am an idiot to fall for a girl like you.

"So hey..."

"Mu?"

"Why did you choose this game? I mean there are other VR games that are less expensive than LWO so"

"Mmmmf mu mumpfm mu mph--"

"Finish eating first"

"Because this game is good"

"I know it is good but I looked at other games which look better than--"

"This game is f2p"

"F2p?"

"Free to play"

"Hah? This game is crazy expensive"

"You only have to pay once"

"Other games cost more than one time?"

"Yeah, in LWO you have to level up hard work while in other VR games you can get items and skills with money"

"Wait, you mean the more money you spend the stronger you are?"

"Yeah"

"I see"

"And you said you like to do something that can be achieved by hard work, so I wanted you to enjoy this game"

She did everything for me, but I am sorry Elena, I think I earned something without hard work but It's now impossible to tell her now.

"What happened Das?"

"Nothing, if you are done eating then let's go"

"Yeah"

I dropped Elena off at her house and now I am at my home.

"Hey mom"

My mom is making dinner in the kitchen.

"What Das?"

"Elena said she is coming here on Sunday"

"Oh, is that so"

"Yeah so don't do anything weird"

"I have never done anything weird in my life"

"Liar, last time she came here you were clinging to her"

"But she liked it"

"She was clearly creeped out"

"Did she say so?"

"...She didn't"

"Heh?"

"What are you smirking about?"

"You don't understand girls at all"

"Indeed" My dad butted in

"Where did you come from?"

"I am home"

"Welcome home dear"

Annoying.

"I am hungry"

"Dinner is ready, wash your hands Das"

"Yeah, yeah"

I ate my dinner and now...

"Gaming time"

I patched the gears and wore the dive gear, I pressed the switch and...again the feeling like my conscious being sucked.

"I can't get used to this feeling after all"

Soon I found myself in the air, falling down. Somehow I am not scared this time. This scenery is really amazing, it's night in the real world so it's night here too, Soon after I landed on the giant leaf. I am on my way to the fountain now.

[Hey Adas]

I heard a familiar voice, I looked around but no one...

[I am here]

I saw a small figure poking out its head from my hair.

[Hello]

She sounds very cheerful.

"Pixie"

She started pulling my hair.

"Hey, what gives?"

[Call me Lily]

Oh right, I named her yesterday.

"Hey Lily"

[I was waiting for you]

"You were?"

She nodded, it's kind of cute...again? Why did I think that?"

"I was at school"

[I see, so where are we going today?]

"I am waiting for my girlfriend, then we will go somewhere"

[I see]

Is it just me or does she sound less cheerful now? Her way of talking, her reactions, the way she acts...it's almost like she is a real person.

"Hey Lily"

[Yes?]

She is back to normal.

"What exactly are you?"

[I am Lily]

"No I mean you talk and act like a real person"

[Oh, I am not real person]

I knew it...I knew it but hearing that from her makes me feel somewhat...sad.

"So you are some kind of AI?"

[Not exactly, I am like a real person but I only exist in this world]

"What does that mean?"

[My feelings, emotions, the way I speak, the way I act, everything is real]

"I see"

So it's real...everything is real...she is...real.

"I am glad"

[Huh?]

"Hey Lily, you won't disappear, right?"

[I won't]

"Thank--"

[Unless the developers decide to get rid of me]

"Huh?"

[That won't happen though]

"I see"

[Why did you ask?]

Why did I ask? I don't know either but...

"I don't want to lose you"

[Wha...what are you saying? You can't, you already have a girlfrie--]

"Ah, now I know why. You see I don't have any friends in real world, only Elen...my girlfriend is the one so here I found you, so it's like that"

She started pulling my hair for some reason.

[Friends you say? How can you say that?]

"Shut up, it was embarrassing for me to say that"

[Idiot]

"Excuse me?"

[Since you are a loner I will be your friend, you should be thankful]

"Yeah thanks"

As I was chatting with Lily someone covered my eyes. There is only one person to do that

"Guess who?"

"Stop that Elena" I instantly replied.

"Buu buu you are wrong"

Huh? If it's not Elena, then who? I don't know anyone in real life yet alone in a game.

I looked back to see a girl with white hair, white skin, slender bo--it's Elena after all. I pulled her cheeks...huh? It's kind of soft, softer than in the real world...

"Stop doing that...my name is Reina in the game"

I got punched, I always get punched sometimes in the real world but here...it hurts. I will make sure not to make her angry in the game.

"What are you doing here? I told you to wait for me at the fountain"

"Huh?"

It seems I passed the fountain. I was talking to Lily so I didn't realize.

"And you were talking to yourself, you sure you okay?"

"I was talking wit--"

Huh? Lily? Where did she go?

[I am on your head and they can't see me so don't tell anyone about me, did you forget you are supposed to keep it a secret?]

.....

"Yeah I was talking to myself"

What is this mixed feeling of guilt?

"Well whatever, we will go clear and the mountain areas now, then tomorrow dessert, then sea, then rui--"

"Oh look what do we have here"

"Hey Adas"

Ricky and Rikka...

"What are you two doing here?"

Elena grabbed me.

"Playing the game obviously"

"Yeah so go ahead and don't you dare talk to my boyfriend"

"Good for you that you can team up with your boyfriend now"

Do girls always talk like this? I looked at Ricky and he was scratching his head. He has it hard too huh?

"Rikka, stop that"

"How can you say that Ricky...this girl used us and kicked us out of the party"

"Huh? I kicked you out? You guys left me alone?"

"What are you talking about?"

"That day...I waited for you but you never came and..."

"Wait a minute you kicked us out"

"I never did"

"You think we are lying?"

"So I am lying?"

Elena might be rude but she would never lie. They are fighting now.

"Wait a minute, let's talk about this nicely, okay?"

"So Ele...Reina, tell me what happened?"

"They told me that I am being selfish and can't play with me so I said 'Stay if you want or leave'"

"Is that what happened right? Ricky, Rikka?

They both nodded in agreement.

"Then the next day I waited for them, the next day too, the day after that too, but they never came"

"You kicked us out so why would we come?"

"I never kicked you out"

"Okay Reina, now tell me what happened on your side Ricky, Rikka."

"It's as she said, she told us to leave so we left the party"

"I didn't say anything about leaving the party"

"But that's what it means"

"Okay. Okay, calm down"

So Elena told them to leave but she didn't exactly say anything about leaving the party, meanwhile they both think that she told them to leave the party.

"This is a misunderstanding, we can talk about this"

I explained to them what really happened.

"So you didn't kick us out"

Elena shook her head.

"I see so it was just a misunderstanding"

"Yeah"

"It was no one's fault"

"Well then we should go, enjoy playing with your boyfriend"

Elena didn't say anything.

"Wait a minute"

"What happened Adas?"

"Do you want to team up now?"

"What are you talking about?"

"We can start again, how about it?"

"I have no problem but ask your girlfriend if she is okay with this"

"Ele--Reina how about this?"

"It's okay"

"She has no problem"

"Okay then let's form a party, four of us"

"Yeah"

So we formed a party, and I added Ricky and Rikka to my friend list, it seems making friends in game is easier than making friends in real life.
