Without anything to do, Louise went towards Rain. He must still be playing right now.

The room was kinda dark and dimmed because of the curtains drawn. Turning her gaze towards the bed, there she saw Rain lying while wearing the VR helmet on the bed.

As expected he was still inside the game, playing.

Lying on his back, he looked like he was just sleeping soundly.

His expressionless face looked more childish and carefree than his usual one.

Louise couldn’t help but stared at his sleeping face. After a while, she slowly put both of her hands on the bed.

Rain was between her arms as her body neared him.

Just like that, Louise slowly neared her face towards Rain’s.

“I always wanted to kiss you like this?”

Louise low voice revealed her emotion which she had struggled to hide.

But how can I make you look in my way? Why do I feel that you’re too far away when you’re just right next to me?

She did not want Rain to see the pain in her eyes when he wakes up.

Louise lowered her head again and put her face next to Rain, their breathing intertwined.

Aren’t I the one who is always close to you?

Why can’t you see that I have always loved you…

Even though we have known each other for a very long time, why are you always treating me like a sibling?

Why can’t……

At this moment, Louise commanded herself to stop thinking further.

At first, she was quite satisfied by their relationship but then, for who knows when it started, she gradually hopes another thing. Was this greed?

When she noticed some girls trying to befriend him, her heart couldn’t help but burned in fury. She was the only one who had the right to stand next to him!

Was this jealousy?

She knows him more than anyone else. He knows her even more than the one who give birth to her. So, isn’t it only right for her to claim that he was hers…?

Was this pride?

She wanted for her to be even more intimate with her and deepened their love. Was this lust?

When she saw some girls trying to flirt with him, she had the urge to rip them into pieces. Buried them in the ground or throw them into seas… was this wrath?

She embodied five of the seven deadly sins… then does this means she was a sinner? A devil?

It doesn’t matter. Louise didn’t care how sinful she was as long as she can claim him.

Was she twisted? Maybe, but doesn’t love itself twisted?

At first, she thought that if Rain found a friend then he wouldn’t be alone anymore.

But Louise realized sadly she could not think like that.

She cared very much.

Rain might not be the most handsome guy around but still he didn’t look that bad. Although his looks were not that handsome to the point where he could make people faint on the spot just from a smile, his charm was like a mushroom. It grew on people.

People would like him more and more the more they look at him. Besides his handsomeness belong to the ‘bad boy’ type and was well worth a second look!

Furthermore he had a good head over his shoulders, a good personality although sometimes mischievous and cunning and most of all, he was well-off.

And thus, many people specially girls’ hovered around him like flies above a cake. And this annoyed her.

Desperation, Anxiety, Love, Obsession, Sadness, Loneliness, Anticipation, and Longing at other times; she was tormented by all sorts of complex emotions.

I like you a lot.

Why couldn’t you look at my way? I’m here!

Will you be my boyfriend?

Aren’t we suitable for each other?

If we don’t even start, we won’t know the ending, right?

……

These feelings were constantly filling her mind.

She wanted to shout out loud but couldn’t. What if he won’t accept her… what would she do?

In the end, I’m nothing but a coward.

Rain still breathed evenly.

And then——……

“……Ngh”

When he opened his eyes, he saw Louise who was looking at him with eyes filled with complicated emotions.

What happened to her?

“Louise? What happened?”

“Are you awake?”

“……Yeah”

Rain replied to her just like he usually does. In response, Louise behaves just like she usually does…

“I see, let’s go outside~” She said with a smile.

Taking off his VR-Gear, Rain lightly brushed his hair down. Then, he immediately stared at her and became lost in thought.

Did something happen?

Noticing his confusion, Louise only let out a faint smile and holds out her hand to affectionately touch his head and says in a very gentle tone: “It’s nothing, come on, I’m bored here~”

“Oh…”

— —

Rain didn’t say anything else again and went to the bathroom to take a bath. Although slightly confused by her strange behavior, nonetheless he still obeyed her without asking any questions.

After a while she got bored and so she looks around the room to find something to do. As if she reincarnated as a personal maid, Louise fixed the bed, wiped the table, picked littered things and cleaned the whole room.

After a while, she went and switch on the computer, wanting to log in to [ Philippine Lore ]’s official forum.

After logging in to [ Philippine Lore ] forum, a lot of the avatars are flashing. Threads about their adventures, personal experiences, fights and many more were being posted.

Then, in the midst of all the popular threads in the forum, Louise suddenly discovered an article that caught her attention.

[ Finally reached the City!!! (￣^￣)ゞ (￣^￣)ゞ (￣^￣)ゞ]

A player posted in the forum a few minutes ago and immediately became viral.

Oh my god! So there was really a city?

Well, of course there was. According to [ Philippine Lore ], there are several cities established in different regions.

There were many benefits in staying inside the city.

Safety from monsters, learning new skills, acquiring items and most of all quests, these were just the common benefits one would get when they were inside the city.

However, because they were sent in the wild and was dropped cruelly, letting them fend themselves, they had already forgotten about this fact.

So someone had finally reached the city?!

It was not only Louise…

The excitement level of every person who was present in [ Philippine Lore ] was rocketing off the meter.

“Hey! Is that true?! Tell me where!!”

“You’re not joking right?! Am I right? Which part are you? Luzon, Visayas or Mindanao!”

“Oh god! Can you post some pic of the city!”

“Hey Buddy! Are you for real? This is not fake right?”

The screen below was continuously scrolling down like flowing water, so quickly that the comments were unreadable.

It was just posted not less than five minutes had elapsed… and there were… there were… more than 300 replies…

This was really amazing!!!

Louise interest was immediately picked as she looks for any information about the city. She was already sick in dying continuously and so, she wanted to find a city as soon as possible because staying in the city is much safer than living inside the forest.

However, Louise find pretty difficult as the comment box was scrolling by with remarks coming in like the tides.

Oh come on. Is this a fraud? A lie? Why is no one saying about the location of the city?

Although [ Philippine Lore ] is a very sadistic game however, it was still quite humane. The reason was because the game developers built a map feature for the players.

In the Map, you can see the exact coordinates of the place to see where you really are. In addition, as long as you put a specific coordinates, then the map will show you the way towards the place no matter where you are.

But still no one had put a specific coordinates in the forum, even the one who posted that he had reached the city.

Was that guy being selfish and was trying to horde the information? After boasting … How shameless.

The number of replies was still rapidly increasing. Besides expressing all forms of jealousy, envy, doubt, and rage, still the most common reply was,

“…… Please be magnanimous.”

…It was then followed by;

“That’s right! Please share!!! *showing cute puppy eyes*”

“God said share the bread, and so the bread was shared. God said share the place, then let us share the place! Please be magnanimous *biting my hankie*”

“Hording is bad!!!! ≤( *Ω* )≥”
