After successfully taking down Mebius, Alicia found Mei and informed her of the situation.
"A social gathering? Huh?" Mei, who had been expressionless at first, hastily accepted the invitation as if she had been electrocuted.
She immediately took care of her appearance like a normal girl, muttering as she did so:
"Wouldn't it be too indecent to dress casually? Should I prepare some gifts or something..."
It's like a girl who has been married for many years is going back to her parents' home.
Seeing this, Alicia tilted her head slightly.
Mebius had been relatively normal before, but Mebius's reaction was far from normal.
Forget it, forget it. I guess I'm just over-appreciating the kindness of my lifesaver. It's not a big deal~?
After inviting Mei, Alicia went to invite Kevin.
"It's him," Kevin recalled the kind brother who saved his life on the rooftop and helped him up at the end, and a sunny smile spread across his face, "Lu Mian, right? Even if it weren't for anything else, I should go and thank him for saving my life."
After saying that, he brought along the middle school boy next to him with Alicia's consent.
Chapter 21: Miss Fairy's Big Failure QAQ (Two in One)
"How about we go to this social gathering together?" Ai Lishiya said as she looked at Qianjie calmly.
Qianjie, who was wearing a mask, looked at the lively and even noisy pink girl in front of him, and opened his mouth but said nothing.
He was as silent as ever, and tried to use this silence to express his refusal.
Seeing this, a hint of cunning flashed across Ai Lixia's beautiful eyes. She lightly touched her pink lips with her index finger and said as if she suddenly remembered something:
"Ah, it looks like the blond guy with side-parted hair who fought with you that day will also be here.
"I think his name is 'Leon', do you really not want to see him again?"
“…” Things had come to this point, and Qianjie really had nothing more to say.
obedience!
He nodded neither lightly nor heavily to show his acceptance of the invitation.
After getting the answer she wanted, Alicia put on an unfathomable playful smile on her face, turned around and jumped away.
Huh~?, in terms of controlling people's hearts, except for the great devil Lu who pretends to be an elite monster but is actually the final boss, the flawless pink fairy lady has never failed~?
It can be seen that Alicia is really happy.
As she walked, wondering who else among the Fire-Chasing Moths was bright enough, a lonely girl huddled in a corner suddenly came into her sight.
Is it "Hua"?
So it's decided to be you~?
With this somewhat hasty idea in mind, Alicia found Hua and extended a friendly and kind invitation to her.
Facing the hand extended by Alicia, Hua's reaction was:
"Eh?! Me?!"
After the surprise, the girl was sweating visibly.
Due to her dull personality acquired from practicing martial arts at a young age, she was always a marginal person in any occasion. Even if she could live another 50,000 years from now, she would never have thought that the always shining Alicia would invite her.
Seeing Hua's pretty face full of confusion, Ai Lixia didn't mind at all. She chuckled and held the former with her outstretched hand, not giving him a chance to refuse.
When making friends, you become friends over time.
[As such, Alicia has done everything she can to mobilize the Shining Ones among the Fire Moths.]
[As a result, it was naturally very smooth. ]
[Mobius who seems to be studying the hardest substance in the universe, Mei who looks like she is going back to her mother's house, Kevin who looks a little silly with a sunny smile, a middle school boy named "Kosmo" who follows Kevin, Qianjie who can be felt to be in a good mood even through the mask, and Hua who was dragged in while being confused.]
[Most importantly, the two pink fairy ladies~?]
[A group of people left the newcomers' party and headed straight for the Game No Life company.]
[Alicea did not deliberately hide what she did. 】
[Therefore, the other senior members of the Fire Moth also knew that Alicia had left the table early with a group of people.]
[They did not stop it, but in fact they were hoping for such a scene to happen.]
[Excluding Kosmo, who is not well-known yet, and Hua, an old marginal man and rookie recruit, the rest of them can be said to have unique skills. 】
[Alicea, the lone second Herrscher of Cinnabar, killed the fourth Herrscher together with Kevin. She is highly sought after among the Fire Moths...]
[Kevin, a hero with incredible combat power, has joined the Fire Moth for several years. Although he is still not as famous as Alicia, he is already a well-known hero...]
[Qianjie is even more powerful than Kevin. If left alone, who knows what he will become.]
[In addition, there is also the genius doctor combination of Mebius and May, who is really a headache. ]
[Letting these people shine at the newcomer ball and further accumulate fame within the Fire Moth will be detrimental to the stability of the organization.]
[All the senior members of the Fire Moth were happy to see that Alicia could take them away with her.]
[Although it seems to be a big trouble for Alicia to gather these strange people together. ]
[But there is no other way, just take it one step at a time. ]
-----------------
No Game No Life Company Headquarters.
The night was dark, but the interior of the specially decorated and cleaned company was unusually cozy, with everyone gathered together under the flickering warm light.
The "iron-blooded pro-Land faction" consisting of Pado, Ying, and Weiwei gathered together and didn't play games. No one knew what they were discussing.
Leon and Qianjie found each other. With the basic friendship brought about by their previous experience as two Herrschers and the brief exchanges afterwards, the two grown men soon became close friends and called each other brothers.
It was mainly because of the enthusiasm of Lyon's sunshine that Qianjie was unable to cope with the passive defense.
But, it’s not bad.
The brothers then played Resident Evil together - fighting a cult in a remote village to save the president's daughter.
In the game world, Comrade Li Sanguang once again implemented the "Three Lights Principle" that he used when he reached full platinum, and he was having a lot of fun.
However, Qianjie beside him was just like the character he was controlling, standing there in a daze, motionless, with his hands holding the handles trembling slightly.
The man who had no hesitation in fighting the Ice Herrscher who could easily destroy a country, actually became like this because of a scene in a game?
Leon didn't know that Qianjie was reminded of the past, he just thought that the other party was like this because he was not familiar with the Resident Evil, so he gave him instructions without any hesitation.
Qianjie silently watched Lyon's serious and enthusiastic appearance, and suddenly felt that the pent-up depression, frustration and other inexplicable emotions in his heart dissipated a lot at once.
Suddenly, he blinked two or three times, and then nodded slowly at Leon.
The two of them started to "go all out" together and started to attack the shark fiercely.
Behind Leon and Qianjie, Mebius stood quietly.
She turned her head quietly to glance at Lu Mian who was not far away, her eyes moving, and finally she sighed softly.
This is a social gathering whose sole purpose is to "relax" and there is no need to think about work all the time.
With this in mind, Mobius temporarily put aside the urge to study Leon and Qianjie's body structure, and instead picked up the "Resident Evil Setting Collection" beside him and started reading.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but once you do, you will find some things that you have to pay attention to.
T virus, zombies...such evolution, hmm...
On the other side, Kevin, who originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to have a good communication with Mei, ran into the old man Dante.
"Boy, I think you are good, come with me."
Having said that, Dante, who had not moved much but had not forgotten Lu Mian's request, looked at the sunny and cheerful boy in front of him who looked a little silly, and a cynical and frivolous smile appeared on his face.
Then he stuffed the corner of pizza in his hand into the other person's mouth, held him in his arms and walked aside.
Kevin, who was "controlled to death" by Dante's combo, was holding a pizza in his mouth, staring blankly at Mei, who seemed to be a world away from him. His brain crashed.
Who is he? Where is he? What is he going to do now?
The young man named "Kosmo" had no time to care about Kevin who was "kidnapped". At this moment, he was swaying left and right with the movements of a pot of sunflowers with a devilish smile on its face.
Lu Mian took in everything, and a look of relief and joy quietly spread across his face, which would infect anyone who saw it.
Shining people gather together to play games and have fun because of the games. Such a beautiful and warm scene can be regarded as the best gift in the world for a pure game producer.
He kept everyone present in his heart.
He kept everyone present in mind.
only......
Lu Mian fixed his gaze on a corner where a gray-haired girl was sitting cross-legged, facing the wall, doing something unknown.
It seems like he wants to make himself as marginalized as possible?
But is this behavior a bit too advanced for humans in a scenario like this?
Moreover, does this seemingly ordinary figure look a little familiar?
Suppressing his doubts, Lu Mian observed carefully.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Three full seconds passed before he recognized the owner of the ordinary figure. Damn it! Immortal Fu Hua! No, damn it! Immortal Fu Hua!
Lu Mian had a complicated expression as he silently stared at Hua, who was not yet Fu Hua at that time, as if he could see flowers on the girl's slender waist and flat back.
This was not appreciation, nor was it a daze caused by shock, it was just an inexplicable throbbing in the heart.
During the first simulation, he was accompanied by Otto and Kallen, who were closer to him than real family members, so he did not have any special feelings when he saw Fu Hua for the first time.
But now that I see Hua, my emotions are completely changed.
Lu Mian inexplicably had a strange feeling as if he had met a fellow blood relative in a foreign country who drank the same water and ate the same millet.
Weird, it's really weird.
Taking advantage of the weirdness in his heart, Lu Mian wantonly tortured Hua, who was still a genuine young girl at this stage, with his eyes.
Little did he know that Hua's body, which had been slightly bent, had straightened up quietly without him noticing.
The girl has been practicing martial arts in her family's martial arts school since she was young and has mastered all the skills. How could she not sense that someone was spying on her?
But she didn't know how to react, because the other person's eyes didn't contain even a trace of malice. Instead, it was as if he was looking at some rare treasure that was hard to come by.
This touches upon Hua's blind spot in knowledge.
Should I use the experience I have accumulated from rejecting those female classmates who pursued me in the past?
But the other party didn't even have any desire, at least she didn't feel it at all.
This, what should we do?
Hua gave up struggling after thinking it over and over again without any clue. She twisted her shoulders to withstand the strange and embarrassing gaze from behind her.
Then he suppressed the awkward feeling in his heart, calmed his breath, and looked at the phone in his hand with concentration.
Look at the card drawing interface of a mobile game being projected on the mobile phone screen.
Hua, who was already able to ignore Lu Mian's torture in her eyes, had a pair of deep blue eyes that shone with light, as if what she was looking at was not a cell phone, but hope that she had found by chance.
Girls who use mobile games as a way to relieve stress are particularly fond of mobile games that allow them to draw cards and change characters.
During this short period of "facing the wall and reflecting on her mistakes", she had accumulated enough energy for a ten-shot combo, and now she held hope in her hands!
Putting on the meticulous posture of a martial artist, Hua devoutly touched the screen with his middle finger, which is said to bring more luck online.
Ten consecutive passes.
A big black thing came out from somewhere.
This character is recognized as the most dancing in the entire game, and he is also very unlucky because his whole body is as black as carbon.
