Ch.5 Distance
Player 1:Hey did you hear man?
Player 2:What is it?I'm heading out to the sands with my squad.
The whole bar shot up and ran towards the player.
Bar: DON'T GO TO THE SANDS!!!
Player 2: The hell is your guys' problem?!
Player 3: You haven't heard?The Pink Devil and Infiltrator teamed up!
Player: What? You're kidding right?
Player 4:Hell no! Dude,eight player squads have been decimated! The Sands is a deathtrap now!
.......
I walked back to the destroyed tank with Azure as he finished sorting out his inventory.
Azure: Man, everyone is so hellbent on trying to kill us.
LLENN: I know. But I guess if you make a name for yourself, people will want to challenge them.
Azure: Regardless, you're an excellent partner, Rabbit.
Azureheld up his hand just so I couldn't reach .I glanced at him and he gave me a throaty chuckle. I jumped up and gave him a high-five.As we rounded the corner of the ruined tank a gun click was heard as Azure stopped moving.
Girl: So...this is the legendary duo? To think I'd catch them off-guard.
I was slightly shaking in my boots. I peeked at our assailant.She was girl about the height of a teen,long black hair in a ponytail,blue eyes with two matching tattoos on her face.I glanced at Azure who was completely still and had no fear in his face.His expression was calm and collected.
Azure: Who said you caught us off-guard?
Girl:I think it's because I have a gun to your head.
I leaned forward to get a better look at the girl.She gave me a crazed grin scaring me as Azure raised his arm in front of me.
Azure:So,do you want to die?
Girl:Big talk for someone who doesn't even have a gun-
Azure:You sure about that?
Girl:?!
LLENN:?!
I looked at Azure who had his handgun pointed directly at the girl's heart.How did he do that?! It was so silent. Did he have it out already? No,he had his pistol holstered when we were walking back to our hideout spot.
Azure:You can try to surprise me but,know that I'll always shoot first.
The girl stared into Azure's eyes looking for a bluff but I know Azure isn't bluffing.The girl groaned and placed her pistol in her holster. Azure holstered his pistol and leaned against the tank.
Azure:So,what's your business here?
Girl:I just was curious to see what the Pink Devil and Infiltrator were like so I came to see for myself. You two seem really close ,but,I'll say I didn't expect a little girl and a towering man. It's like a day and night difference in every facet! Say, you two wanna come back to town with me and have some tea? Let your big sister treat ya! Little girl.
LLENN:U-um....
That's was how we met Pitohui,or Pito for short. I went back to the Saloon with Pito and Azure.I sat in the room privately with Pito as Azure was outside the room talking with his other friend who logged in. Pito explained that there aren't many female players and how she's been playing GGO since it's JP launch. She also explained that her tattoos keep the guys from hitting on her. She was quite an interesting player.
Pito:Hey,why don't we register as friends?I bet there's a lot that I can teach you and I'm sick of playing with sleazy guys all the time.Aren't you tired of playing with that guy?
LLENN:No. He's a good guy and so is his friend.
Pito:I see.That's why it was normal when you guys came back to town with you on his shoulders.Say, has he ever hit on you?
LLENN:N-no! I told you! He's not like that!
Pito:Alright. I'll stop.
LLENN:Anyways, I'll add you.
I accepted Pito's friend request.
Pito:Alright. LLENN, I look forward to adventuring with you.
Pito looked outside showing that it was nighttime.
Pito:It's getting late.Are you going to log out LLENN?
LLENN:I was thinking of looking for a new live ammo gun today.
Pito:Then leave it to me!
.......
I watched as LLENN walked out of the Saloon with Pitohui as my friend tapped my shoulder.
Kise:You okay man?
Azure:I'm fine,why?
Kise:Just making sure.Say, wanna go dungeon delving?
Azure:Sounds good.
.......
"Hey Rabbit,wanna go do some PvP?"
"Sorry,I can't right now."
"Okay,let me know if you can."
.......
"There's this great grinding spot I found. Wanna join?"
"I'm in a party already. Sorry."
"Oh,alright. Sorry for messaging."
.......
"Rabbit,wanna join me on a quest?I'd appreciate the company.
"Busy in another party."
"K"
.......
And so,I ended up forming a two man squadron with Pito.Whenever we had time,we'd go hunting together.Pito is an ultra-rich gun fanatic who changed her weapon every time.But,other than that,she was mostly a mystery to me.
LLENN:Say,Pito,what's your hobby?
Pito:Other than this game?Nothing.
LLENN:I like listening to music.I often listen to classical music and movie soundtracks.I actually also began listening to Video Game soundtracks as well thanks to.......Elsa Kanzaki is my favorite singer right now.
Pito:Music,huh?I hardly listen to it.
LLENN:Really?I was just guessing but,I'd thought you'd be a music fan.
Pito:I can't even read sheet music.You'd be surprised if you saw me in real life.
LLENN:Sorry.Let's not talk anymore about real life...
Pito:Well,we're pretty close so if we ever do meet up in real life,I'd reveal my true identity.
LLENN:Close.....
Pito:It'd be one of those "offline meetings" as they're called.How about you,LLENN?Do you have the courage for that?
LLENN:I think you'd be surprised as well.
Pito:One of these days,you and I will fight.And if you win,we'll meet in real life.
LLENN:If I beat you?That wouldn't happen....
Pito:Okay,I'll make you a promise.Train hard and then try to defeat me with P-chan one day.
LLENN:Understood!No,I got it!I swear I'll take you down someday,Pito!
Pito:Alright.Let's make our vow.
LLENN:Vow?
Pito:As proof of our shared vow,we clack metal together.It was popular in the Edo period.
LLENN:Pito,are you over 170 years old in real life?
Pito:That's still a secret.So someday we'll seriously go up against each other.If I lose,we'll meet up in real life.It's a promise between women!
LLENN:Yeah!
*BOOM!*
I could only watch in horror as Pito's head got blown off.Her lifeless corpse collapsed to the ground with the "Dead" marker popping up.
LLENN:PITO!!!
I couldn't even react as I felt three bullets pierce my back making me fall face first into the hot sand.I looked up as footsteps neared me.I tried to grab my gun but my assailant kicked it away from me.I angrily glared at my assailant only for it to turn to fear.A person who I knew all to well.He leaned down looking me directly in my eyes.A warm smile on his face as he pointed his handgun at me.
Azure:Hey Rabbit.
*BANG!*
Rabbit's body went limp as "Dead" appeared over her head and her body disappeared
in a red sparkle flash.
Kise:So,how'd it go?
Azure:Man,she's probably gonna be pissed. But,it was so worth it!
