Chapter 40 – Rena’s Job

In the left wing of the Fun Building, Rai and Rena were inside a tube connected to a long pipe above the ceiling. It was a full-dive Virtual Reality machine that allowed people inside to experience a game similar to reality without needing to move their bodies.

It was especially popular among people with bad physical abilities.

Because Rena said she couldn't move around much for now and had no way to take off her disguise, she recommended playing the game to Rai.

As he was also curious, he didn't refuse and went along with her. They began playing various games such as fighting and sports, and now they were playing racing games.

In the virtual racetracks, thirty racers were on their bikes. Rai chose a red and black decal sports bike while Rena chose a pink with white stripes bike.

They were already going through the tutorial and were currently racing with other people connected to the network.

Leading in the front was a red and black bike with Rai as the racer. He had a big smile on his face because this was the first time he could ride a bike without any interference from police and bad roads.

Following right behind him was Rena. The other racers were left behind because their reaction speed and courage were less than the two Evil Organizations members.

Through the intercom connected to his helmet, Rai praised the girl.

"You are good!"

"Nyahaha, I am quite skilled in this game!" Rena laughed happily as he lowered her stance. Then pulling her gas to the highest RPM, she shouted, "On your right!"

*Vrooom!!*

The pink bike passed the black one right before the finish.

Rena had won the race at the last moment!

Finishing their races, two tubes adjacent to each other in the real world opened with a mist coming out to regulate the temperature to normal. They raised their bodies and looked at each other.

"To think you would snipe me at the last moment like that. You're pretty good, Rena."

"Nyahaha." The masked girl with ponytailed pink hair laughed uniquely. "My plan worked." She puffed her chest proudly.

"You were just lucky." Rai scoffed and got off the tube. He looked at his System Watch and noticed that it was almost 6 PM.

Raising his head, he looked at Rena, who slowly got off the tube and said,"When will the concert outside be held?"

"It's 7 PM." Miss Clown replied as she looked at her System Watch. Then her expression turned to surprise behind her mask. "Oh, shoot! Let's find a spot to watch the concert, or we won't be able to see the stage!"

Saying so, the pink-haired girl ran out of the room filled with VR tubes and left the puzzled Rai behind. He immediately followed suit only to find out that he had lost her track.

Already used to Miss Clown's unexpected behavior, he sighed tiredly, "That girl…"

The Fun Building was now crowded as night had arrived. Those who were also working on Sunday chose to stop by to hear the concert or just play something in order to feel refreshed for a little bit. The boxing game was the most popular one among male visitors, followed by the full dive game.

Having lost sight of Rena, Rai decided to just go to the concert area alone.

The signal of the System Watch was a little disturbed inside the building due to the cluster of people and many games that required an internet connection.

Even if the System Watch had its own network, it still required a signal to reach the satellite to get a connection. That was why it also couldn't be used inside Glitches. Only when it was close to each other that it didn't require an independent network.

Also, he had no Rena's GPS installed in his System Watch yet as he forgot to add it due to the fun he experienced today.

However, he wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to find her. Because her appearance really stood out from other people.

"Only she has pink hair and wears that suspicious mask and sunglasses."

Taking a flying platform to go to the ground floor, Rai didn't take the clothes he deposited on the counter.

He immediately left the building as many people were rushing out with him, creating a wave of people he couldn't fight back. They were impatient to get a good spot to watch the concert in front of the stage.

Without any choice, Rai followed the crowd outside and eventually reached the area in front of the stage. It was filled with people, leaving no space to move.

With his height, he had a bit of difficulty seeing the stage, but fortunately, he found a rather stable stone foundation to stand on and was able to see the stage, just as he had hoped.

This time, he had time to see the three hologram banners floating above the stage, just right below the roof. One idol group and two bands were performing this time.

The bands dressed casually in the banner, holding their electric instrument and posing as coolly as possible.

Then, with excitement that the idol group was probably Luminesce, Rai looked at the last hologram. At first glance, there were two girls dressed cutely with their backs together.

When he noticed that there, he felt a little disappointed because there was no way it was Luminesce. But that didn't stop him from looking at the girl's face. At least he wanted the idol group to be a Magical Girl group.

The first girl had her wavy blonde hair tied up. Her hair was layered, with the interior color being pink. She wore a white crop top and puffy jacket, looking cool with her sharp blue eyes.

Then his gaze moved to the second girl. Somehow, Rai had a feeling about something. Not a bad one, but something more natural.

'What is this?' His gaze stopped, and he tried to remember where he had this feeling. Then, it dawned on him. The feeling came from the second image of the girl. 'So it's like that.' He nodded in understanding.

Everything was clear now. He was no longer curious about Rena's strange behavior and the fact she tried to hide her face. The mystery of why Miss Clown's room was filled with clothes and why she lived alone didn't seem to be strange to him.

'I still don't know why she is avoided in the Extity's base, but this explains why she has such a high confidence and didn't want to show her face in public.'

As he moved his gaze to the stage, a DJ dressed extravagantly with a dangling silver chain suddenly appeared from below the stage. A pair of black headsets on his head had a microphone attached to it.

"DJ Cola! Here with the Party Starter!!"

At the same time as the DJ shouted, a loud voice rang and shook the Fun Building. The excitement that was building up from the wait suddenly exploded at the same time!

*Woosh!*

The stage was filled with a gray fog that appeared from two pipes in front of the stage, hiding it completely. Then, in a moment, the fog disappeared, and two girls in similar cute clothes, one white and one black, appeared on the stage by jumping from the roof.

They landed right in the middle of the stage and put their backs together, holding the microphone connected to their headphones lit by blue LED on the ears area.

Rai watched them and smiled to himself because he recognized one of the girls.

"Let's party!"

The idols jumped high with their hands raised. Their blonde and twin-tailed pink hairs moved along, following their energetic movement.

Yes, the other girl in the idol group was Miss Clown, Rena. She was smiling brightly on the stage as she sang a cute love song. And when her gaze met with Rai, she pointed her hand at him and winked, causing the crowd to go mad.
