Chapter 25: How do you know so much?

Ba-ling!

The computer screen lit up. Finally, realizing reality again, Suzuki's eyes widened as he moved his cursor over the game.

"I uhh… need to know." He told himself, clicking the left button on his mouse twice.

Da-ling!

The game booted up. Suzuki's online character loaded up into the main lobby, and he received an invite from the waiting Nagisa.

{Accept} Or {Decline}

His mind and heart raced, deciding on which button to press. He couldn't help but be embarrassed and scared about asking her how she knew this much about him.

"I can't do it…." Finally, he gave in, hovering over the decline button.

"However, Hakaishin, my favorite story written by Danial_Senpai and web-published on Webnovel, has taught me to fight through the setbacks!" He shouted, reminding himself of his favorite hero, Hakai.

"Hello?" Nagisa screamed into her microphone with no care.

"H-He-Hello, Nagisa-Chan..." Suzuki slowly spoke into his microphone. "I-I have to ask you something..." He followed up.

"Hmm, what?" She said as the words above her character displayed "ready" to play.

"I-I was wondering. Now that we're friends. We never met in person, right? So how do you know I'm gentle or kind or what tone my voice is?" He uncontrollably let out nervous laughter.

"Oh, well. We don't talk in person, but I know you and have seen you around campus multiple times."

"I've tried approaching you occasionally, but you've always fled." She told him while munching on chips in the background.

"Oh really?" He asked again.

"Hmm, I have done some stalking on you here and there, but nothing crazy like that." She giggled while filling her mouth with chips.

"Oh, okay. Well, I'm kind of relieved now." He nervously chuckled, moving his cursor over to the ready button. Suzuki's heart raced, his mind filled with different girls' faces, trying his best to match her voice to one of the faces he knew.

"I don't know; I can't tell who she is." Suzuki shook his head around in frustration.

He had a question but worried he might come off a little weird, so he contemplated if he should ask her about her looks or even a simple picture.

Bang!

He banged his head against the desk, bowing in respect. "Umm, Nagisa-Chan, I'm sorry, but I cannot remember you." He shouted into the microphone, catching her off guard.

"What...?"

"Please, either describe to me how you look, or you can send me a simple image to refresh my memory." He asked her while apologizing inside of his head for being born.

"I'm sorry I was born; I'm sorry if I bothered you." He thought to himself.

"Don't mind; check the messages in a bit," Nagisa told him while the tapping on the screen of her phone suggested she was looking for a good picture to send him.

"Not good. Not sure enough. Misleading." A dark female figure thought to herself in the dark with trims of blue led lit room.

"Well, I'm the wheelchair bounded girl that has been trying to talk to you." She said over the microphone with a different tone. She seemed sad, even regretful.

Suzuki's mind began filling with memories, and ideas constructing the girl's figure, face, and voice.

Ding!

Suzuki's phone notified him of a message.

[New Message from…]

{Nagisa-Chan ^_^}

{Expand Image.}

He clicked the button and saw the picture she had sent him.

"It's her. The cute wheelchair girl." His eyes glittered, remembering their encounters.

"It's you." He smiled while telling her that he had finally remembered.

"Fate works mysteriously to find you in the game, and taking the chances that this was you based on avatar look-like was a little victory." She scuffed, followed by a slight chuckle.

"Hmm." Suzuki hummed, happy that he had made friends with her.

"I owe him a lot, and since that day, I've fallen so deep for him." Nagisa was shrouded in mystery over her interest in Suzuki. In contrast, other ideas currently filled Suzuki's mind.

"How am I supposed to face her in person now!" His facial expression had shock written all over it. His thoughts changed drastically while the realization set in. "And she goes to Tokyo University too!" He shouted.
