Players checking the leaderboard were surprised by what they saw. The name of the top player team was replaced with Kaede’s team members.There are only a few hours left before the hunting event ended. And most of the players participating in the event know that Amber will surely win the event.But Kaede once proves that she is not an ordinary player in the game.With their location shown on the event island map. Kaede, Yuki, and Clover have no choice but to face them and protect their number one spot until the end.“The sword demon defeated the flame priestess. That’s an insane feat for a low-level player like her. Still, I can't say that she is cheating.”Dark said while he is looking at the leaderboard. Behind him was player Blake. Blake was dejected and he can’t even decide if his team is going to attack Kaede’s team.“What are we going to do, Blake?”“It’s hard we already reach the top ten team. This will be okay for now. We don’t know what kind of skill Kaede has on her sleeves.
“W-Were attending the same school!”Amber's loud voice echoed in the library. Students whose doing their best to study turned her glare on Amber.Her face turned red like a tomato and she behaves back in her seat.“Hello…”“Are you here to study for a retake?”“Retake? There is no way we’re taking a retake. Don’t tell me that's the reason why you're both in the library.”Kaede and Yuki nodded in response.Kaede scratches the back of her head and made e gleaming smile.“Well, we became addicted to playing. Also, the hunting event makes my mind focus on the game. I forgot the lessons. But now I do find my dream. My dream is to become a NEET and play games all day.”Amber after hearing about Kaede’s life ambition was life. She can't help but to feel skeptic.“I can’t believe I lost to this idiot.”Amber muttered.“Eh? Is being NEET bad? I mean many streamers online are just playing games all day. Are they considered a NEET?”Hearing Kaede’s argument. Amber got second thoughts about that
Seating on her chair facing the desk with piles of textbooks and notes. Kaede is surely doing her best to improve her grades. These past several days. Kaede doesn’t have much time to use to play her video games. It's been a week since the Hunting event ended and she still didn’t know what is the reward she got from the event. “Yosh~ Another three lessons and I can lay on my bed o catch some sleep.” Kaede said and hold her pen. She does her best despite her eyes nearly giving up while answering some mathematical questions. Thanks to Chiharu’s effort. Kaede survive and passed her retakes. Even though she got a passing grade. That score is still not acceptable. Out of 100 she just gets 75. Just one point and she is done. That’s mainly the reason she’s burning herself up with studying. Kaede knows that indulging herself now will be a bad thing. Especially to a girl without parents or guardians supporting her. Her parents before they died. Left money for Kaede. The money was plenty e
One month has passed and Kaede never touches her game console. Dust is piling up on the hardware. It's like Kaede already lost interest in the game.Today is quite different. Kaede’s school is currently celebrating its school anniversary. Because of that, there was no school for two days.Looking at the calendar. The two-day anniversary was followed by the weekends. Giving Kaede four days straight of no school.Reflecting on her grades in school. She can say that she’s in the green zone and the teacher won’t yell for her right now. Meanwhile, Yuki was struggling in some lessons. Even though Kaede gives Yuki some advice to stop gaming for a while. A gamer spirit like Yuki just can’t live without one.If her failing grades continue. Kaede can imagine Yuki crying when her parents banned games again.Kaede is currently seating at her desk reading a weekly manga magazine. With drinks and chips on the table are giggles.“This is hilarious… How can they tell a story this hilarious? It's so
“So cute and fluffy… I wonder what I should call this cutie? The name of the familiar is supposed to be the most wonderful I have.”“How about Snowflakes! Or Snowball…”Layla suggested.“I would love to do that but according to its stats, this monster is a fire type. Calling it snow feels wrong. And looking at its color there are yellow parts.”“Well, you're right…”The cat familiar started to sniff Layla’s body and climb around her. Layla giggles as the cat familiar sniffs around her.“Hahahaha… It tickles~”The cat then sniffed the bag of Layla like it wanted something from inside.“You must smell it, isn’t you? It's my mother's home-baked biscuit. It smells fresh and it's really good… You wanted it.”“Looks like this cat is very happy being with you.”Kaede said.Kaede feels a bit sad that the monster is more attracted to Layla than her even though she’s the owner of the familiar. But on the other hand, seeing Layla and the cat smiles together make Kaede’s heart move.Layla gets th
“Achoo!”“Are you feeling cold Kaede?”“Nope, Maybe someone is talking about me… who cares about them… More importantly. I currently have a huge gap between level on three of us… I’m supposed to be the leader of the party right?”“That’s true, but you're not been online for a very long time. I practice every night after I do my homework. Yuki is unbelievable. Feels like she's not sleeping anymore… I mean the last time I saw her she was in level 42 already.”Kaede was shocked after hearing that.Normally a player will find it hard to level up. The higher the level they get. But Yuki is always searching for a great farming area to increase her strength. It's not just her strength that increased. The number of skills she has also increased.If there was a time Yuki and Kaede battled each other. Kaede will never know who's going to win.There is a very low chance for it to happen anyway. Kaede doesn’t think about it that much.After enjoying their meals at the restaurant. Kaede noticed t
With the unfamiliar girl's sudden appearance.Kaede turned toward Yuki’s face and noticed how much it change. Not only that, the whole cheerful mood earlier already disappeared into the cosmos.“What's the deal with these two.”Clover whispered beside Kaede. Kaede shook her head and replies.“I don’t really know. But they seem to know each other.”Yuki and the unknown girl stared at each other like they are gunslingers from the west whose about to have a duel.The tension in the atmosphere was very heavy.“I always thought for this moment to come. I know that you're playing this game. Just like me, you're into this kind of RPG that delivers great freedom.”“I can’t say that you're wrong about that. Or maybe you're still bitter on that day. Did you join this game just to follow me? Do you hate me that much? I’m already moving one you know.”“This is perfect timing… I’ll have my revenge from that day!”Yuki pulled her two daggers from her waist and pointed them toward the unknown girl’s
“I don’t know what is this, but it feels like I’m hearing boss-like music in the background.”Kaede muttered as she looks at the powerful foe appearing in front of her.Melida's body was covered with her armor. Even though Kaede wanted to attack her head-on. It feels very dangerous. Kaede decided to put distance between her and Melida.Yuki and clover meanwhile, were dumbstruck seeing Melida’s mecha form. As if they can’t believe that such skill exists in the game.“That mecha armor looks dangerous… And also, super cool at the same time! Go! Go! Go! Melida Go!”Yuki started to feel excited.“Just who are you siding Yuki? Anyway, I should not think about distractions… Skill is still skill… Each skill has its own rule to be activated right. If something powerful like that was a skill, that means there is a catch to it.”Kaede thinks thoroughly something she usually never did.Melida’s rocket and laser launchers were set on. She turned the target lock-on on Kaede’s direction and with her
