Yuki's jaw hardened, she didn't know at all and didn't expect that, Miyako even called Mashimo by her first name so loudly. It was as if the two had known and known each other for a long time, and it made Yuki uncomfortable to hear that. Yes, Yuki is jealous.

"You are the greatest female player, Miyako. Trust me, there is no female player who is much better than you. I can give you that promise, you should be proud to be here. We will be a pair of players that no one has ever beaten, we will be the most phenomenal pair of players in this game!"

Miura looked at Yuki, who had suddenly disappeared from there. Until then Miura looked at the point where Yuki left, Yuki was at the heavenly level. A level where there is no fighting at all there, when players just want to have fun with all the indulgent and eye-pleasing items. Yuki sat on one of the rocks there, in front of her the cherry tree had bloomed so profusely, the cherry blossom petals gently fell together with the sun that was almost setting. While Miura walked directly over to Yuki, he didn't say anything, just kept quiet, looking at Yuki who had her face lowered deeply. Miura knows that maybe this is not a good thing for Yuki, hearing all the words of the lover that Yuki loves so much and it turns out that those words are very hurtful. Never imagined even until whenever it was in any way.

"The twilight sky here is the best, you know if this twilight picture is taken from one of the most beautiful sunsets in our city," Miura finally said.

Yuki looked up at Miura, then she lowered her face again, she was really in a really restless, tired state and so on. Everything is mixed into one, it becomes unthinkable even at any time.

"Where?" Yuki asked them.

"Are you curious?"

"Perhaps," Yuki answered curtly.

"In the field behind our campus," Miura replied.

Yuki immediately turned her head perfectly, her eyes on Miura. She looked sad, and even almost cried. However, Miura pretended not to notice that.

"Would you like to see it?" asked Miura. Yuki fell silent again.

"Can I?" she asked, Miura smiled back. Until finally, they were both silent, both seemed to be both focused and lost in their own thoughts. The two of them sat next to each other, and enjoyed the view together.

"Miura, do you think I can do without my guild? Do you think I can do without Mashimo?"

That question could not be answered by Miura, he was just silent, he didn't know what he should answer now as a question from Yuki.

"First of all, you have to focus on yourself first, if you believe, I believe that whatever you want you can do. As a player, seeing you play briefly in front of me was enough to let me know you are a great player like no other. I'm sure, in this game there are only a handful of female players who are as great as you, and you should be proud of that. Because I don't think there's a player who's far greater than you, the coolest player the world has ever seen, and a player that no one would ever imagine."

*****

This morning Yuki left for campus a bit late, last night she couldn't sleep at all because she thought about Mashimo. From what Yuki knows Mashimo is a very possessive man, who would have thought that Mashimo, who seems to love her so much, has now lied a lot just because of an obsession, namely winning a match that is not human at all.

Yuki took a deep breath, she looked at the cherry blossoms that were flying so real. The petals were so real, and Yuki didn't know if this atmosphere would be the same as the atmosphere she was going to feel now. Painful, sore, and sad, whatever is depicted in her heart. Yuki was confused as to what she could do to quell all the emotions that were raging in her heart. Yuki is confused, Yuki is confused, and Yuki is in a dilemma. There was nothing she could be proud of and could hold onto to doing all of this.

"Good morning, Yuki!"

"Good morning,"

"Good morning, Yuki!"

"Morning,"

"Who doesn't know Yuki, the most beautiful student on our campus, she is friendly and kind,"

Yuki couldn't help but smile bitterly at that. The most beautiful student? Honestly, if she could choose, Yuki didn't want that, all she wanted was to be with Mashimo, all she wanted was to achieve his dream together with Mashimo. Become teammates in the game, achieve dreams and hopes as the highest pro player and win together. Mashimo's sweet promise will always be remembered by Yuki even at all times, but why did Mashimo make a promise himself, how could Mashimo break it? So that the figure of Miyako, another woman who shouldn't be in the guild, appears, becomes a new player and is lined up as the main player in the team. Who wouldn't be disappointed? Who wouldn't feel sick with all the things going on here?

"Yuki, are you okay?"

Yuki turned her head when Kazuya was beside her, Yuki's guild mate also looked at Yuki with a frightened look, Yuki knew why Kazuya was afraid. Kazuya is afraid of Yuki if she finds out that there is a new player in her guild and the new player is a woman.

"I mean, did you log in to the game last night?" Kazuya corrected again.

Yuki was silent again, then she shook her head. Even though it was clear who was online and from how many hours and so on, there were additional participants and so on, but why did Kazuya ask the dumbest question the world has ever seen as if Yuki was the dumbest woman in the world? Really, Yuki had no idea at all. Yuki was confused, and Yuki couldn't say anything. What can Yuki do? What can Yuki be proud of, what can Yuki do? It's all too late.

"Thankfully, there will be an impromptu meeting for our guild at our base, Yuki. I also have a surprise for you, and I personally hope that this surprise will make you happy, believe me whatever Mashimo's decision will be, it's all done for the sake of our common interests, for the betterment of our guild and so that we can advance to the national level tournament, nothing more than that, Yuki. You believe in that right?"
