This doesn't make sense. My grandfather is above 70. Her father must be the same age as him, and she is 21...
"Could it be that you are adopted?"
She nodded and said, "I don't remember much, but my father adopted me from your mother's NGO when I was three years old"
My mom started running NGOs when she was still in her university. If Grace is adopted from there, then mom must know this too.
"Is this related to what you want to tell me?"
"It is"
"I see"
As we were busy talking, that creepy white thing slipped off somewhere.
Well, a strong monster like that couldn't possibly do anything anyway--
"Watch out!" Grace pushed me. Her push was so intense that I slammed into the wall.
"Why did--"
I got up to yell at her, but what I saw...creeped me out more.
That white thing was now big, bigger than that statue I fought yesterday.
If I had to describe it in one word, then 'Disgusting' would be most suitable.
I can't even look at it directly.
"Are you okay, Das?"
"I am fine"
"You can go now. I will handle it"
"But--"
"No need to worry about me. I am giving up anyway"
"No one is worried about you. I need orbs and if I defeat it, I will get lots of orbs"
If its size is big, I am sure it will give more orbs. That's how it was for the monsters I defeated so far.
Grace dashed at it and stabbed her sword. The monster did nothing to protect itself.
"Wha!" Grace exclaimed.
"What's wrong?"
"It's so sticky and slimy. My sword is stuck, and it's s.u.c.k.i.n.g me in"
"I told you it's creepy"
"I will use my 18 swing sword skill"
She can swing her sword 18 times in 3 seconds using this skill.
"Why!"
"What's wrong now?"
"I can't move my sword, and now my hand is stuck too"
Sigh~~
"I would love to see you die here but since I need you, I will help you out"
My sprinter and Harden skills are still active, I just need to smash this thing away.
I dashed--
[Skill Sprinter Deactivated]
I knew this would happen!
Nevermind, I still have Harden skill.
I continued dashing and punched.
"What the--!"
When my fist was about to hit it, it opened up its body and made a gap in its body. A gap enough to swallow my hand. And it swallowed my hand by closing up the gap.
"What are you doing?! Idiot!"
"Don't call me idiot!"
Dammit!
I tried to pull my hand, but it got s.u.c.k.e.d in more. The more I tried, the deeper my hand got s.u.c.k.e.d.
As I was trying to break free, a face appeared from where my hand was stuck. The face opened its mouth and gulped me down or it would have, but Grace pushed me with her body and I fell down on the ground.
Only Grace's hand was visible when I looked at the monster.
"Run! Don't worry about me!"
How about you shut up!
I made sure to slash slightly above where Grace's hand was, otherwise it would turn out that I killed her.
The monster's body fell down the deep abyss, I grabbed Grace's hand and pulled her out.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Yeah. Thank you very much"
"No need for thanks. I just don't like anyone owing me"
She saved me twice.
[Skill Harden Deactivated]
I can't use it again today now.
I checked the time, it was 11:23 AM. Login in the morning was a good decision.
"Only 29 players left" Grace said, picking up her sword.
"Out of 29, seven are us"
"Us?"
"Elena, Serah, Ricky, Rikka, Lier, you and I"
"Lier plays LWO too?"
"You didn't know?"
"How would I know?"
She could have if she used the pixie.
"Didn't you get my information using pixie?"
"That's because I knew you"
For some reason, I don't want to know more.
We were walking on the bridge. There is an exit at the end of the bride. There is a cliff on both sides and the bridge is too thin. She is walking behind me.
"Don't you have any friends who play LWO?"
"I don't have any friends"
How sad, though I don't have any either.
"I know why you don't have any friends"
"How?!"
I can't see her face, but I could easily feel nervousness in her voice.
"You are into girls so it must be hard to make friends with girls, right?"
"Can I kick you?"
"That's not the reason?"
"Of course it's not"
"Then what?"
"You will understand when we meet"
"But you used to love Elena"
"She was special! It's not like I am into girls. I fell in love with Elena, and she was a girl"
"How is that different?"
"It's like you are not into boys. But there is someone special--"
"Stop right there. If you say one more word, I will jump from here"
"I was just giving an example"
"Don't use me as example"
The bridge is too big. We have been walking for the past 20 minutes, and we are still halfway through.
"If you are not into girls, then how did you fall for Elena?"
"....."
No answer?
"Hey, are you there or fell down?"
"I am here"
"Then answer!"
"She didn't make fun of me"
"Huh?"
"She was the only one who didn't make fun of me"
"What do you mean?"
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait, wait!
How did I forget that!
How did I forget that I defeated that monster, but didn't get any orbs. There is just one meaning, and that is...the monster is still alive.
I heard heavy footsteps approaching us at a fast speed.
"What is that sound?"
"It's that monster! Run!"
"The bridge is too thin! We can't run, if we do, we will fall down!"
"We will fall down even if we don't run. That monster will break the bridge--he already started breaking it!"
"We won't make--!"
She fell down. I grabbed her hand and swung her to the exit.
"Now I have repaid all your favors!"
The bridge broke, and I fell down.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
