Welcome to Exodia

"Welcome to the headquarters of Exodia," Alice said with pride. "The company in charge of the game Go! Go! Summons!"

"Wow!" Abbie exclaimed at the magnificent sight before her eyes. The design of the building was like a sword blade pointed towards the sky. The color of the windows had a golden hue in them which shone brightly as the light of the sun reflected off its surface.

Abbie remembered that this was one of the attractions that had appeared in their city a year ago. The locals referred to this building as "The Golden Sword of K-City." She never thought that the most eye-catching skyscraper--that she had only seen from afar--belonged to the Exodia Company, and were also the developer of the game she was going to test.

Alex's mouth was agape as he raised his little head to look at the tip of the sword blade. His eyes sparkled with excitement like a kid who has found a new toy he could play with. Alice watched the two of them with a grin. She wanted to boast, but held herself back. The beautiful lady with blonde-hair patiently waited for her two guests to snap out from their daze.

When their "Ohhhh, Ahhhh" moment finished, Alice held Alex's hand and signaled Abbie to follow her. "Let's go inside. I'm starving."

"Now that you mention it, I am starving as well," Abbie replied. Her eyes were shining with expectation. Since this building looked high-class, she assumed that their services were high-class as well. 'Is this what it's like to live the lives of the rich and famous? I could get used to this!'

The chubby girl was lost in her delusions as she followed behind Alice. They took the elevator and went to the ninety-sixth floor. Alice told her that this building had a hundred and six floors in total. She didn't include the six underground floors that were for the exclusive use of the beta testers that joined the company.

The higher-ups decided to keep their identity a secret and arranged a special place for them to interact with each other. When the elevator door opened, Abbie found herself in a lavishly decorated restaurant with a scenic view of the city.

The tables were made of glass surrounded by circular sofas facing the window. There were also exquisite chandeliers that hung on the ceiling which gave the place a regal feeling.

Abbie, who was only a commoner, looked at the sight with awe. Alex, on the other hand, was simply being the country bumpkin that he was and looked at everything with unrestrained curiosity.

Alice called out to a waiter and asked him if the private room she reserved was ready. The waiter came back after a minute and guided them to a closed off room away from the main entrance.

Abbie thought that the scene she saw before was already good enough, but the private room took her breath away. The view they had here was better than the ones she had seen before. The scenic view was overlooking the "Elite" side of the city where the major attractions were located. Abbie could even see a giant ferris wheel in the distance.

It was one of the attractions of the popular theme park called "Epic Kingdom." The room had the same mirror table and circular sofa. The difference was that the room was adorned with red curtains and a red carpet. Abbie remembered Alice's taste in color and wondered if this room was specially made for her.

"This room was specially made for me." Alice said offhandedly.

Goddamit did you just read my mind?!

The three of them sat side by side on the sofa with Alex in the middle. The waiter returned with a few others and immediately arranged the food on top of the table. When they were done, they immediately left the room to give them some privacy.

"Eat first, talk later," Alice announced as she took a bite of the souffle pancake on her plate. Abbie and Alex didn't hesitate and started putting different dishes on their plates.

"T-This is so good!" Abbie said and looked at the fried chicken in her hand. "I thought that Mac Bonalds fried chicken was good, but it can't compare to this one."

"Silly girl, how can a fastfood chain compare to a 3 Star Michelin Restaurant," Alice chuckled from the side. "If the chefs of this restaurant heard your comparison, they might break down our door and stab you with their kitchen knives."

"Don't worry, Master," Alex said with a resolute face. "I will protect you from them."

"Aww! So cute!" Alice hugged the living shit out of Alex making the little shota squirm in her embrace. "Alex, make sure to protect me, too!"

"Big Sister, you have Brother Aiden to protect you," Alex said while tapping Alice's hand that was holding unto his body. "He is stronger than me so your safety is assured. I can only protect my Master."

"Aww! It's fine. This Big Sister will protect you instead."

"A-Alex doesn't need your protection, Big Sister Alice."

"Abbie, can I please take Alex home with me?"

"No," Abbie answered between mouthfuls. "Alex is my hero. Go cuddle your Yang Yang."

"Aww! Don't be like that. Alex feels so soft and smooth, while Aiden only has his well-toned body and six pack abs going for him."

"You've seen his body?" Abbie asked in surprise.

"Yeah," Alice replied. "He was buttnaked when I summoned him."

'D-Damn, how envious!'

Abbie wasn't able to stop herself from fantasizing about Aiden's well toned body standing in front of her. Those lean muscles, those pecs, those six pack abs, and that… something below the belt. The chubby girl swallowed the food in her mouth.

'Nah, my Alex is infinitely better.'

Abbie glanced at the boy beside her and smiled. "Mmm, infinitely better."

"Master? You were saying something?"

"I said that you're infinitely better than Aiden."

"Hehe. Thank you, Master."

"You're right. Alex is infinitely better than that stupid Aiden," Alice agreed wholeheartedly. "How can he even compare to my cute Alex? It's like comparing a pig to a Panda."

'Well excuse me! I know you're not talking about me, but can't you use a different word aside from pig! Tell me, are you picking a fight with me on purpose? And YOUR Alex? You wish!'

Abbie glared at Alice while chomping on a piece of steak. 'Oh, this one is medium rare. I didn't know that it tasted this good.'

The chubby girl forgot her frustration after eating the delicious food. She decided that Alice's advice to eat first and talk later was best. This way, she wouldn't be thinking about her stomach while trying to confirm a few things about Alex. She also wanted to discuss their future plans together.
