New Uncle and Aunt

"Ugh"

"What? Why are you groaning, Yudi? Have a problem with your chest?"

"...Nothing. just ignore me."

"Well, okay then."

"...Ugh"

"What!? Why!? Just tell me already, will you!? Are you having a disease or something!?"

"...Like I said, just ignore me."

"I am curious dammit! You must not hang me up like that you know?"

"..."

"*Sigh, okay. Based on that silly grin you have, it is probably not something bad. I will leave it for now."

"Well, thanks."

"*Tch"

"..."

"..."

"...ugh"

"Fuckin dammit!"

What? It's not my fault you know?

Currently, I am walking with my friends inside of the university ground after finishing my stuff. On the way because of my free thought, the scene where a little Yuika who got crying and try to be thought flashing on my head.

That silly little angle who is completely beyond cuteness, with a pear-like tear looking up after forcibly trying to cheer herself up with a little double pumped fist is enough to make the two adults go blank even after she logged out.

How do I know that, was of course after watching the footage.

'I know that she is me, but I really can't help but look at her as someone completely different. That gesture is...Ugh, cutedammit'

"...ugh (CUTE!!)"

"I swear you mothe!#$@%@"

Well, if I keep doing that, my friend might start to beat me up for sure.

Looking at that handsome face that screams "I am a rich guy" now red in the face, he looks definitely annoyed, so let's clear my thought and become the proper adult that I am.

...or am I?

"Well, leave that aside and answer my question, will you? Did you really start playing the game?"

"I did."

"Whoa, finally! Add me! Add me!!"

"...I am still wanting to play alone for now. I will add you later if I had the time"

"You just lazy playing at a party aren't you?"

"...that might be a part of it?"

"...Lie a little so that you wouldn't be hated by people."

Lying is a hassle so when I found no need to do that, I won't.

"Anyway, I will go home now. I want to level up a bit before preparing for a job hunt!"

Hmm?

"Andika, I thought you will use the game to earn money?"

This guy who has money, face, and popularity within the university circle now saying that he will look for a job? I thought that he will get one easily and thus would play the game for now to release some steam.

"What? Yudi, do you think I am that capable? Betting myself over the game where there are a million users competing with each other is the same as winning a lottery. With my meager skill, there is close to none that I will even get a little success through it."

"Is that so?"

'Now that's surprising'

If I don't know anything, I might start to look at him as a pessimist guy without a spirit of challenge. At least tried it a little before you judge things too early like that!- or something along those lines.

But, he is someone who is more consistent, stable, and competent than I know of...well, I know only a little to no people. But the thing is, he is that great of a guy and yet he views the game as an almost impossible challenge not worth the effort so he gave up easily, that is what he means, right?

"If even someone like you thought like that, wouldn't that mean that it was blasphemous for me to make a success through "Fantasies Life"?"

"....eh?"

He is smart so he might already realize the underlying meaning of my mutter but I couldn't care less.

If that is the case, what shall I do in order to make the one-year deadline I have to be meaningful?

Leaving behind the frozen friend of mine who I am not worried would get pickpocketed because of his silly blank eyes he has, I then get my motorcycle and drive home to go pursuing my last chance to succeed.

"...ugh"

Oh man, the occasional cringiness attack is also somewhat tiring too.

***

Logging in, the first thing that I open is the friend list.

A certain big sister is not online so I might be able to get a little free me time.

Let's go to the academy and finish that certain quest!

"NOT allowed?"

...What? W-w-hy-ooooh! The time limit...I forgot.

It says that I need to go to Nana, one of Xena's Academy teachers, and give the letter of recommendation within 24 hours. Isn't that 24 hours of real life?

After opening the quest notification, I found that it was indeed 24 hours of real life and the quest is still ongoing even as I speak yet...

*Ding

Your Favorability Points with Nana currently is 0.

Is that the reason behind this?

Why is that I wonder?

"*Tch, looking at you blanking out like an idiot is enough to make me convinced how unqualified you are. Leave, and make sure you properly apologize for being a bother to the head guard.

...*Ding

It's not the game notification but just me finally getting the gish of everything.

Now that she mention it, I just leave behind the troubled guard who is helping me. He is indeed a responsible adult and I am not. *Sigh, that kind of quality is what the HR team always looking for.

I better hone that personality and make sure this game gave me something useful in real life.

"I-I know right? He is a responsible and dependable adult! And even though just as you said that he is handsome, kind and gentle like that, yet you still bother him in the middle of the night! Make sure you properly apologize to him and bring him here so that I can confirm it okay!?"

...

Tsundere?

***

Looking for the head guard, Mr. Jhon is not that difficult. Because of his night schedule, he is currently staying at the military dorm. After going there and asking the guard for his name and making sure that he is already taking a proper rest beforehand, or currently not busy or sleeping at the moment, I was then allowed to meet him and properly relay my reason for coming.

*Ding

Your favorable rating has increased by 10

Your favorability rating with Jhon the head guard has reached 70. He is already looking at you as his own nephew.

The so-called uncle that starts to become my own uncle is now currently wanting to carry up me but I am respectfully refuse.

His loving eyes start to get burdening so being up that close is a no-go.

With him tagging along, I then met with another kind of burning eye from the tsun-teacher. She is looking at me as if I was my rival so I can't help but worry about my future.

"Nana, this is little Yuika. She is a player, but I already consider her as my own nephew. Could you do me a favor and let her learn in the academy?"

Said so with the handsome face filled with pleading and honesty.

The shine emitting from that attack was enough to make the grumbling face turn into a kind big sister neighborhood.

With a relieved expression, uncle Jhon then pats my head and then goes in together to the academy to finish the procedure.

Along the way, I glance up toward the man who is still holding my hand and the sister who is trying to strike a conversation but giving up every single time and then decide to help her a little.

But how? I am not that good at hooking up with girls.

The only thing I know is that she likes him but the guy is still questionable for now.

Or is he liking someone in particular for now?

"Hmm? Why are you suddenly asking me whether I like someone all of sudden?"

Eh? Did I?

Wow, the girl is not as rigid as stone. You make it that obvious yet the guy in question doesn't seem to notice. You better look for girls soon or you might die single you know?

Me: "...I want a cousin"

Uncle Jhon:"...Eh?"

Sister Nana: "!!!"

(Inner)Me:!!!

*Ding

-Your favorability rating for Nana the Xena's Academy has increased by 50.-

My mind blanked after spouting that nonsense but after I start to collect my thought, my favorability rating has increased a whole 50 and they both start dating.

There must be something that I said which create this result but it is quite vague and I can't remember it. Like how I am daydreaming while riding a bike and suddenly reached my destination, that is the kind of feeling that experienced.

Though it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't give me harm.

And also after that, teacher Nana kindly teaches me a lot of things which make me finally get to level up by one so all is well.
