Internal me - Aaah, i feel so relaxed... It would be a shame if someone was about to enter the room right now...

A minute pass

Me - Any second now...

Another minute pass

Me - Aaany second now...

More minutes pass

Me - This is strange, they're letting me rest... Welp, looks like i can go back to sleep now!

And then Neptune opened the door

Nep - Did someone just said back to sleep?

Me - Yeah... It was me... Unfortunately...

Nep - Nah, stop complaining, we're going to Leanbox today!

Me - Darn...

Nep - I know what you're thinking, and i came with a solution my friend... A gift to solve your problem!

Me - Wait... You mean like...

Nep - Yup, i asked Plutia to do a bandana for you, and thanks to my protagonist powers i was able to know your favourite color, which is blue!

Me - Really, thanks Nep!

Nep - Now you don't have an excuse to stay here, so you gotta come with us!

Me - Alright, i'll come too.

Later, still at the basilicom

Plutia - Leo i made something for you! Neppy told me you get sick when there are too many plants, so now you just have to wear this and you'll be fine!

Me - Thank you Plutia, this unusual plot-convenient anti-allergy bandana is the best!

Plutia - I'm glad you like it.

Nep - Alright, travel time now!

Me - Ready to fly!

Nep - We're not flying today...

Me - What? And how are we gonna go to leanbox then? Aren't nations on flying islands?

Nep - Yeah, but the ships at the sky harbor are back on service, so we can go there without flying now... You know, it's tiring going in our cpu form everytime!

Me - Point for you...

Plutia - But if you want to go there flying so much i can transform for you!

Nep - Nope nope nope! Plutia there is no need to, i wanted to show him the harbor anyway because he never went there...

Plutia - Aww, Neppy is a big meanie...

Nep - Why don't you come with us?

Plutia - Yeee!

Me - Ptss, hey Nep, why you don't want Plutia to transform?

Nep - Trust me, you don't want to know...

And then we went to the leanbox's basilicom

Nep - We're heeere!

Yvoire - Hello miss Neptune, i see you brought your friends as well!

Me - Hi.

Yvoire - Oh, i don't think we've met already but you look familiar... May i know your name?

Me - The name's Leo, nice to meet you... And no, we didn't met before...

Yvoire - Mhm, must be my imagination then... Anyway, what brings you all here?

Nep - Well, it's the meeting chapt-

Me - *kicks Nep's foot*

Nep - ... I mean, we came here to spend some time with Vert!

Yvoire - Yes, she's in her room, as usual...

Nep - Thanks Ivor!

Yvoire - Close enough...

Me - Mhm... What's your name by the way? Ivor?

Yvoire - No, it's Yvoire, but it seems like everyone can't say it, so call me whatever you want...

Me - Yvoire huh? Sounds too hard to remember for me, but i'll try...

In Vert's room:

Nep - Hey Vert, we're here!

Me - Woah! That PC's got a really nice case!

Vert - Huh? Is there someone that just commented on my PC?

Me - Wow, this case looks so cool! It's like the best case i've ever seen! Totally worth it!

Vert - Well, actually it didn't cost as much as all the stuff inside it... Are you curious about the specs?

Me - Yeah, tell me! I bet it's something fantastic!

Vert - Alright, how do 128 GB of ram sound like to you? Expecially when combined with two 32 GB GPUs and a 16k monitor... And let's not forget about a 7 Ghz processor with 512 MB of cache and 30 cores! The 50 TB SSD that i ordered is just a fine addition to it.

Me - Wow, sounds like something the NASA would use! I already love where this conversation is going!

Vert - Really? What's the thing you love the most of computers?

Me - The freedom that it gives to you when playing. Consoles usually don't give you much on the options, but PC games are so easily customizable that they let you play what you want, how you want...

Vert - I see...

Me - Hey, what are you playing?

Vert - Yes, and it's called "4 goddesses online" and it's

Me - Um... I don't wanna be rude, but i don't really like MMOs... The strange part? I don't even know why!

Vert - Well i still have other games, not just MMOs... And now that i think about it, there is something you'll find interesting! I think you'll like it.

Me - Really? Tell me, i'm curious now!

Vert - It's a videogame based on holograms... It has a motion tracker too, so you can be anything!

Me - Mhm... So you're saying that playing a shooter in there would be like shooting in real life?

Vert - Yes, but with the fact that it's a game it makes it safe to fight! No real harm can be done to the players by the simulation anyway, so it can be used for both training and fun!

Me - Looks like a lot fun! Let's try that!

And so we tried the game out... After a while (30 minutes) we (me) got phisically tired:

Me - *heavily panting* Ah... I can't... No more... Need... Rest...

Vert - I thought you would last more that this...

Me - What did... You expect... Hehehe...

IF - That's what you get for running around like a child.

Me - Gimmie... Five minutes... Gotta... Breathe...

Then Yvoire entered the room

Yvoire - Lady Vert, there is a tough monster roaming around the basilicom, but we have problems at beating it...

Vert - Then i'll have to

Me - Oh, i wanna see the monster too!

So right when we came out of the basilicom we indeed found a monster but...

Me - Really? An eggplant? And it's not even giant? Man, i'm disappointed, i thought it would have been something cool like a dragon or a robot...

Eggplant - Oh well i'm so sorry for not being the coolest of the monsters! I didn't came here to look cool, i just want to punch people because i'm a bad guy...

Me - Oh... Well at least it knows what it wants to do!

Nep - Sandbang time!

And just when Neptune said so the enemy disappeared

Me - Wait, what? Where did it go?

Eggplant - *teleports behind me* nothin personell kiddo...

And then it kicked me unconcious before being destroyed by Vert

I recovered after a while

Me - Ouch... Thanks gals, i don't know what i would do without you all!

Nep - When i said sandbang time i meant beat the monster not get beaten by it!

Me - That doesn't help...

Compa - No, stay still, you have to rest a bit more!

Me - I think i'll might have to wear armor at some point though...

Everyone else - *facepalm*

Me - ... What?

IF - We have much to discuss...

After she explained me more about equipment

Me - Oh ok, then it looks like i'll have to beat a lot of monsters and do a lot of quests!

IF - Basically you summed up half an hour of talk in a single objective...

Me - Well, you just said "you're dumb and you gotta grind more" then explained me more about the stats and the items i should buy!

IF - I didn't said it like that, but yeah, you're right...

Me - Yay, grinding time! I couldn't ask anything better than this... Wait! Idea!

IF - Huh?

Me - I don't have to grind the same boring shit over and over again if i do it while exploring more dungeons of my level!

IF - And it looks like you have a plan too!

Me - There is juuust one thing missing on this plan... Someone that knows dungeons like her pockets has to come with me or i'll get lost...

IF - Why i think i already know what you're gonna ask?

Me - Does that mean yes?

IF - Alright, whatever... We can go on some adventures...

Nep - I'll setup the flag of that after the meeting chapters are done, it's a promise!

Me - Why do i have the feeling that i won't like the activation of that flag?

Nep - It's just your imagination...

{
