Epilogue
As I stepped out from the office, I watched the clouds roll over. To me, it was a sign that the fall was coming. Despite the events that took place, I still had a lot to work on. On cue, the doors behind me swung open to reveal a woman with short hair and thin glasses. She waved gently as she passed me by.
"It feels good to be done with work!"
"Easy for you to say, Nami-chan. You're not the one who has to revamp an entire game within two weeks. The team's going to be a mess when they hear what we have to do." I scratched my head and sighed.
"It was a risky move you made. You almost shut the game down permanently." You didn't need to remind me. I knew the risk yet, in the end, it paid off.
"I know, I know. Next time, leave the marketing to the marketing department." At least my version was more interesting. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to find a way to implement the Cardinal System into AKO. God knows the NPC's and quests need polishing."
Before I could walk away, however, I felt my shoulder get tugged by soft fingers. As I turned around, I noticed a flush of red fill her face like some sort of high school student about to confess their love. "A-are you free this weekend?"
"I told you, I need to work on the game..." My eyes shifted as she pouted. I had to admit, she got me. "Fine... I'll try to free up dinner."
"Okay then." She immediately turned around and started walking away. She was never good at goodbyes. All of a sudden, I felt a vibration in my pocket. Pulling out my own AuraSphere, I put it on and answered the call.
"Hello? Yes." I shifted my feet. "Yeah, Enhancer and Creator were more interesting than I expected... Oh, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them."
My gaze shifted back to the sky as the clouds cleared up and the sun shone once more. "In the meantime, I suggest we start looking for the others."
