Yuki was silent, her eyes felt so bleary. Yuki had absolutely no idea how all of this had happened. Yuki herself did not know, how could everything be okay. Never imagined that her heartache was caused by her own lover.

"I should be the one asking you this, Mashimo. You… you how can you enter a new member in our guild, and the new member is a girl. Do you know what you're doing here? Have you forgotten your promise to me all this time? I didn't know, I didn't think it would turn out like this. Never imagined and thought that everything would be fine. You've forgotten our promise, Mashimo, and what? Are you planning to include that new player as the core of our team? are you serious about it? If that's your plan, doesn't that mean you don't need me?"

"Yuki, listen to me—"

"You listen to me, Mashimo! My position and that of the woman in the game are the same, and in a match, one team cannot have the same players. How would you explain this? even you yourself said that the female player is very talented and understands you very well. What does all this mean, Mashimo?"

"Last night, were you online in the game?" guessed Mashimo then.

Yuki seemed silent for a moment then he closed her eyes tightly, the noise in her heart seemed to struggle to get it all out. This is like a dream. A dream that no one could ever imagine. A dream that seemed to haunt some of the people here and Yuki didn't know how long she had to struggle with that dream.

"Don't you have eyes? Can't you see the last time I was online in the game? More than that, there were a lot of things that took me by surprise. In this guild, what am I? If I'm not your lover then I'm not considered at all, right? with the addition of new players, shouldn't this be brought up by everyone?"
