Vanity Is But a Dream, Wake Up and Think 3

Rope didn't realize that Thea lived across the street from him.

Rope was flabbergasted when he saw aunt Sun from across the street from his house come to claim this new tenant. People can be related, but can they not be so related????

Of course Aunt Sun and Thea were surprised.

Rope still couldn't forget the look the older woman gave him, as if her own pig had arched over a fresh cabbage...

Damn it, he, Rope and Thea are innocent, it's just their first time meeting, where did you get so much drama from?

Well, in the course of chatting, Rope also learned that Aunt Sun's family is preparing to go abroad. The house here is not going to buy. For nationals, it is important to have a house in their hometown. So they are going to rent out the house. It just so happens that the young lady in front of me is coming to Magic City to attend graduate school. So she rented the house to Thea.

What's even more coincidental is that Thea and Rope are in the same university...

Good guy, I'm straight up a good guy...

It's not just a matter of fate, it's the moon god taking steel bars and pulling the strings.

Thea, who understands Chinese, listened to Auntie Sun tell Rope how to get rid of herself, and then blushed with shame.Rope was embarrassed. However, seeing that Thea did not have any other reaction besides blushing, she did not tell Aunt Sun that Thea understands Chinese.

After all, if this is said out, then Aunt Sun will die of shame on the spot. And Auntie Sun is also someone who has been taking care of Rope since she was a child, so Rope didn't intend to make things difficult for her, so she responded while expressing her apologies with her eyes towards Thea.

[I'm sorry, Aunt Sun didn't mean it.]

Actually just after delivering her eyes Rope regretted it. How can one expect someone they just met to read their eyes when they talk to others with their eyes? Rope then planned to withdraw his gaze and apologize to Thea afterwards.

But the weird thing was that Thea actually read it...

[It's okay, I understand.] Thea shook her head with a coquettish smile and passed a look...

It's even weirder. Why did I get it too?

Rope didn't feel happy or anything, but instead felt that the whole thing was filled with an air of weirdness. More to the point.

Rope's intuition told herself that there was something wrong with these things, but there was a voice deep inside Rope telling herself that these things were normal coincidences, it wasn't worth thinking too much about it, just go with the flow.

Rope watched Thea and Auntie Sun enter the house across the street, Thea smiled at himself and gave him a "see you later" look.

Rope returned the smile and closed the door...

Rope tossed the bag on his back and slumped onto the couch, grimacing.

It's normal...

Go with the flow...

What the hell! What kind of coincidence is that? A foreign girl asks you for directions on your way home, and then coincidentally you two are in the same neighborhood, and then coincidentally she lives across the street from you, and then coincidentally she might have a slight crush on you...

Bullshit! There's no such thing as coincidence.

Rope begins to rehash everything that has happened since he woke up this morning.

[I woke up this morning and started playing the game. Then after winning 15 in a row I was brutally killed by a wizard. What was that wizard using...]

"Gar... Chomp," Rope squeezed those four words out of his own teeth.

The form of a Garchomp appeared in his mind. And there was a person standing beside that Garchomp. A human form that couldn't be seen.

[After that Snow asked me to go to dinner... Snow?]

[I went to see Blue, ah no, Ryo and Dylan... I went to get a book...]

"Book? What book did I order???"

Rope's eyes were closed and his brow furrowed, but he couldn't remember a thing.

He opened his eyes and got up, then lifted his backpack from the floor and placed it on the table and started rummaging through it.

Soon enough, he pulled out the book that was still unopened.

The name of the book was "I'm Really Not a Trainer, huh?".

Rope quickly finished the book.

Coincidentally, the protagonist of the book was also named Rope, and the protagonist was unlucky enough to cross over to the world of Pokémon, and then became close friends with Red Blue and Daisy, and became Professor Oak's disciple. Falls in love with Hee Thea. Has two subordinates, one named Ice and one named Dream...

What a coincidence!

"Coincidence? Knock yourself out!!!" Rope growled in a low voice.

He slammed the book to the ground, then blacked out as flames began to churn through his body.

"Who? Come out! I'll show you I'm no fun!"

The rage in Rope's heart was almost too much to contain.

He knew that he was being played. Even if he didn't perceive the wrongness of this series of coincidences, but rather enjoyed the harmony of this illusion. But still, when Rope recalled the book and then opened it, the memories came flooding back and then recalled it all.

"Aye, don't be mad, sweety!"

A man with silver-rimmed glasses suddenly appeared in front of Rope. He was sitting on the couch in Rope's house with a cup of coffee in his hand.

Rope didn't make a move, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare.

When this man appeared, the original sound of the air conditioner was gone, the sound of cicadas was gone. The sound of children playing downstairs was gone...

Rope saw a fly. It was hovering in the air as if imprisoned in transparent amber...

Rope's face shifts and quickly returns to calm.

The glasses man looked at Rope and gave a wide smile, "It seems the most calming thing really is a bigger fist."

"Who are you? What do you want with me?"

Rope completely ignored the guy. Staring into the eyes of this glasses man, Rope tried to see something in his eyes.

But unfortunately, those eyes that were as deep as deep space. Nothing flowed out of them.

The glasses man put away the teasing on his face. Got up and bowed deeply towards Rope.

"I'm sorry, due to a mistake in our work, we dropped you into the world of Pokémon. Here, on behalf of Infinite World Games, I would like to make my sincerest apologies to you."

After saying that, the guy had sat down and then had that cynical expression again.

Rope hastily took a deep breath to suppress his anger.

But sadly, it wasn't suppressed...

"Fire Fist!!!"

A thick and substantial pillar of fire erupted out from Rope's hand and fiercely blasted into the body of the glasses man.

Rope's pillar of fire pierced through the wall, melting everything in front of him. The flames dispersed.

The charred body of the glasses man was in pieces and turned into sifted powder.

"Well, is the anger gone now? We can talk."

Rope jerked back as the glasses man reappeared in the doorway.

Still smiling. Like nothing had happened.
