1138 Words
Right in front of Michi's house. I'm waiting in my car for Michi and her Parents. They should be out any time soon.
"Ah! Sorry for the Delay!"
Michi said. I smiled and nodded. I open the Trunk and Uncle put all the baggage on the back. After that, He close it. Michi immediately go to the front seat and waited. Uncle and Aunty go inside the car.
"Sorry."
They said. I chuckle.
"No need to worries. I got all day."
I said. They just laughed and we drive to the Airport. Along the way. Michi said.
"Oh right. Speaking about all day. Today. We're meeting Kaixen and Blossom right?"
She asked. I nodded. Uncle and Aunty have no ideas who we are talking about. But they know that they're our friend so... They didn't bother to ask.
"I think they're waiting at their Apartment. Don't know why they want us to meet them there. It would be nice if we just meet in a normal area like Mall or something."
"They said that they want to eat hotpot together. You didn't read that Shiro?"
Michi asked. Oh Really?! I didn't know that they want to eat Hotpot. I didn't read the Message that they sent to me yesterday since I'm too focused on Leveling.
"Come to think of it. While Blossom and I are exploring. Kaixen is offline. But you say that you're exploring with him. So, What Level are you now? And what time did you sleep?"
Michi asked with terrifying tone. We stop at a red light. The Aura is scary. Aunty and Uncle was terrified by Michi aura as well. I look slowly at her.
"U-Um... I'm level 6-64... I sleep at 3 AM..."
Michi immediately scold me.
"Shiro! Stop going too crazy! We play since 12 PM and you're playing for 15 Hours?! Are you okay? You need to rest more!"
She said. Uncle and Aunty are grinning on the back.
"Y-Yes... Sorry... I get too excited of exploring on my own. B-But don't worry! I get some cool stuff as well! Y-You want some?"
"No... But I'm glad that you're at least having fun. But with me living together with you. I'm going to make sure you're eating properly, drinking properly, going to the bathroom properly and sleeping properly!"
She said.
"Wow... What are you Michi? His Mom?"
Aunty muttered. I just chuckle.
"Okay. I would love if you do that to me. Since... If I'm in the zone. I can't go out of the zone unless someone pull me out of the Zone."
"Good... Well then. My Mood is fine now."
Michi said with a smile. I smiled as well. We continue driving to the Airport. After arriving at the Airport. We go out and pull all the baggage out. We say goodbye to Uncle and Aunty and they depart.
"Ah well... Guess it's us both now..."
Michi muttered to me. I grab her hand and said.
"Let's... Wait here for a bit..."
I said embarrassedly. We're in the car right now. Waiting for things to happen... Both Michi and I are pretty red right now.
"W-What are we going to do?"
Michi asked awkwardly. Our mind started to wonder. And then. I turn the car on and said.
"Y-You know what... Let's just go... My mind started to wonder..."
"S-Same... Let's go..."
We immediately open the map and go straight to Kaixen apartment. We arrived at this pretty nice looking apartment.
"Wow... It's nice."
Michi muttered. She probably think that Kaixen is living like a street urchin. But no... He's Ranked 2. He get money as well. There's no way that he's living like a Street Urchin.
We go inside the Apartment and call Urchin... Oops... Not Urchin. Kaixen.
"Hey Kaixen. I'm in the bottom floor with Mercy right now. Come here."
I said. He close the call and minutes later. Dion arrived and his girlfriend arrived. They look the same but their hair color is black. Same as us.
"Hey! I'm Dion Kuon. Call me Dion or Kuon, It doesn't matter. But I prefer Dion."
He said. We shake hands together.
"Shiro Shirone. Nice to meet you."
While Michi and Dion Girlfriend.
"Michi Harone. Nice to meet you."
"Yes! Nice to meet you as well Michi. I'm Sakura Niki. Please call me Sakura."
She said. Now that the introduction is out of the way. We go to his Room which is pretty big for an apartment. Apparently, Dion and Sakura live together.
We sat down on the Chair. I was wearing the Merch that I got from winning the Battle Royal. The Sneakers is pretty lit. But I wear jacket to hide the shirt.
"Wow.. That Sneakers is nice... They didn't mess around huh."
Dion said. I agree.
"I know right? It's so nice..."
I said. Dion smirked. We go to what he said the Living, Bed, Playing Room. It's just big bed for the two of them to sleep on, Massive Gaming Rig and Big TV with a lot of Console.
"Yup... Pretty much the same thing as Shiro room."
Michi muttered. Dion immediately look at us.
"How old are you guys? Both Sakura and I are 20. We're still in the University."
He said. Michi look at me and said.
"I'm 19. While Shiro... He's 16..."
Both Dion and Sakura immediately blurted out.
"16?! You're practically in High School!"
"Well... I'm special okay? I already graduate High School. Even though I spend my time gaming. My Brain is good okay? I'm rank 1 in every semester with 100 all across my grades."
I said. That is the truth... I couldn't go to Uni yet because... I need to match my age to the people in Uni so that I'm don't get picked. At least this year I can try to go to Uni.
"I see... You're a very smart boy then. No wonder that your battle sense is good. You're a genius."
"Well... Thanks... Anyway. Let's go eat hotpot. Michi and I just finished dropping Michi parents off the airport."
I said. Everyone nodded and they put all the things on the table. We put the broth in and heat it up.
"Ah Right. Shiro. Do you know that 3rd Floor is going to open soon?"
Dion asked. I nodded.
"I know. It's Monday Right? I'm going to go ahead and just explore it immediately."
I said with a smile.
"Hey come on now. Wait for us as well! Mr. 64..."
Michi said. Everyone once again just let out an awkward smile when hearing my Level. We ignore all things and eat. After eating, We play some games together. The 4 of us. It's pretty fun. Although, Their house is so far away from us. It's about 30 Minute Car ride from our house to their apartment.
