tbh this chapter should have come out 3 days ago but I got a nintendo switch so yeah also Neptune is the only one who calls Raymond' Ray everyone else just calls him by he's name for now except for Compa she called him Ray-Ray
Raymond's pov
It's been 4 days since I ended up in gamindustri and in those 4 days Compa told me I needed bed rest and that I should try not to move too much so I did what she said but Neptune did talk to me a lot in the 4 days I also learned that I'm in a nation called Planeptune and that there is a cpu also known as an goddess that rules over planeptune I asked Neptune what was the goddess's name she given me an big smile and then said her name was Purple Heart
I also met Neptune's little sister Nepgear she looks older than Neptune and i though nepgear was the big sister but it turns out that Neptune is the big sister and an lot of people make this mistake
Before the 4th day ended Compa said that I should be ok tomorrow so I'll finally be able to get out of this room
the next day
I got up from bed and went to the nightstand where my mom's locket was I grab the locket and put it around my neck I then leave the room and see Neptune and histoire In what looked like the living room they saw me and Neptune called out my name
"Hay Ray me and Histy have to tell you something"
I walk up to Neptune and histoire and say "what do you have to tell me"
"Well Raymond it's about you and the fact that you're better now"
"Oh so I guess this is part where you kick me out now isn't it?" I say sadly
"What no Ray were not going to kick you out" Neptune says
"Really!" I said
"What Neptune said is true Raymond we're not going to kick you out"
"Then what is this about?" I said
"well Ray me and Histy were going to tell you that you can stay here for awhile"
"I don't know what to say but thank you"
"no problem Ray and besides we couldn't let you be homeless"
"There is also the fact that you don't know anything about this world yet" Histoire says
"I'm very grateful but it doesn't seem right that you both are doing so much for me and I haven't done anything for either of you is there anyway that I can repay you"
"Raymond thats sweet of you to say but i think you been through enough trouble already" Histoire says
"it's fine Ray you don't have to do anything for us"
"Okay but what I'm going to do now I can't just be here all day doing nothing"
"Well Raymond you're still young so is there anything you would want to do and or something you can did"
"Well my mom was always trying to help people the best she could so if possible I would like to do that"
"If that is what you wish then I would recommend that you become an Guild member and do quests or become an adventurer and travel the world trying to help people but I must let you know that both are very dangerous
"Well i don't really know anything about this world and traveling the world alone will probably get me killed fast so I guess I'll became a guild member"
"Ray are you sure about doing this it is dangerous"
"Yes I'm sure Neptune, I would like to think that I might be doing some good"
"Hmm okay Ray but if your gonna do this that I'm going to show you the ropes"
I saw histoire smile then she said "does this mean you finally going to start working again Neptune"
"really Neptune you work what's your job"
"her job is to run and protect Planeptune as the CPU of this nation"
"WHAT Neptune is the CPU then that means she is the goddess!"
"Histy I told you not to tell him that"
"sorry Neptune"
"...
"Ray?"
"...
"Histy I think you broke him"
"I-I'm sorry lady Purple Heart I hope I didn't cause you any trouble"
"I was afraid that this might happen Ray it's okay you didn't cause me any trouble and besides we're friends so uh please calm down"
"U-Uh okay lady Purple Heart"
"Ray you don't need to call me that just call me Neptune
"O-Okay Neptune
"Good now what was I going to do again"
"Neptune You were going to take Raymond to the guild and help him with some quests
"oh thanks Histy now come on Ray"
I fellow Neptune out the room and right when we were about to leave the basilicom it looked like Neptune realized something
"Wait an minute Histy tricked me"
"You just realized that now"
"What you knew Ray and didn't say anything"
"I didn't say anything because if i I'm going to do this i'll need you help also I don't know where the guild is so I need you to take me there and besides we're almost out the door"
"fine you and Histy win this time"
We leave the basilicom and for the first time I saw the city
"The city it looks so futuristic and beautiful
"You really think so"
'yes it looks amazing"
"Well it is my city so of course it looks so nice now let's get going"
Me and Neptune make it to the guild we go inside and Neptune got everything set up for me
"Okay Ray all you need to do put your name in and then get your guild I'd"
I put my name in and after a few seconds I got my I'd
"Now let's pick an easy quest or two for you to do"
"Neptune, Raymond you guys are here too"
I look behind me and saw Nepgear
"hi nepgear how have you been"
"oh I'm fine Raymond but you look a lot better today"
"Well I do feel a lot better"
"Hey Nep'jr it's so nice to see you here and good timing too me and Ray are going on an quest wanna come along"
"sure sis"
"sweet now let's go"
"wait Neptune don't we need to pick an quest" I said
'oh I did that when you were talking to Nepgear"
"Oh ok. then what kind of quest are we doing"
"We're going to Virtua Forest to kill 20 dogoo's and to find a lost kid"
"Virtua Forest is the forest virtua or is that just the name
"It's just the name of the forest Raymond" Nepgear says
Me, Neptune and Nepgear arrived at virtual forest
"We're here now so let's go kill some dogoo's and find that kid" Neptune says
I follow Neptune and Nepgear until we saw some blue goo looking dog thing
I ask Nepgear "Is that an dogoo"
"Yes Raymond that is an dogoo"
"Hay guys I have to ask how are we going to kill it we don't have any weapons
"easy Ray we just do this" I then saw Neptune summon an sword out of nowhere
I look at Neptune "how did you do that"
"It's easy Ray all you gonna do is focus on your weapon"
"But I don't have an weapon Neptune
"Oh then take mine and don't worry I have more now go show me and nep'jr what you can do"
Neptune given me her sword and i run at the dogoo and start to swing the sword at it but I can't seem to hit it after an couple more swing I saw an opening i was able to kick the dogoo an few feet away from me but before it could recover from the kick I was able to hit it with the sword and kill it
I turn around and look at Neptune and Nepgear and say "so how did I do"
"Well Ray you could have done an lot better and I mean an lot better"
Nepgear give me a little smile and says "Raymond I think you could use some sword training"
"I was that bad huh"
"yeah you were pretty bad Ray"
I sigh. and then say "Let's just kill the dogoos and find the kid"
After walking an bit we see a bunch of dogoos
I look at the dogoos and say "I think there's 20 of them maybe more"
"that's good after we defeat them all we have to do is look for the kid" Neptune says
Me, Neptune and Nepgear did a surprise attack we all killed a dogoo by the surprise attack I look at another dogoo and did the same thing I did last time and kicked it and kill it before it could recover I turn around and another one tried to attack me but I swing the sword at it before it attacked me I somehow hit it and killed it
I look at Neptune and Nepgear only to see that they killed the rest of the dogoo's
Neptune look at me and said "So Ray how much did you kill"
"Uh I get 3 how about you"
"I get 9 what about you Nepgear"
I get 8 Neptune"
"Then that means I win" Neptune says
"I didn't know this was game to you Neptune"
"Oh Ray if only you knew if you only you knew"
"i feel like I'm not getting something here"
"Don't worry about it to much Raymond"
"Okay if you say so, now let's find the kid"
After looked for awhile Neptune found the kid and she tried to talk to him "hey kid me and my friends are here to take you home"
"..."
"Come on don't be like that we're here to help you"
"..."
"Hey Neptune let me try"
"Sure go for it"
I walk up to the kid and say "hey Look I know that you're scared but I want to help you so can you please talk to me
The kid looked up at me I look at him back and noted that he kind of looks like someone I know
"..."
"My name is Raymond and I'm here to help you so can to please tell me your name
'it's Noah" the kid says
I thought about something for a moment this kid can't be the Noah I know back in my world he's too young but that again I'm in different dimension so it is possible that he is this dimensions Noah
"is something wrong Raymond" Noah said
I look at him and say "it's nothing it's just that you remind me of someone I know"
"really"
"You sure do and now come on someone probably worried about you"
"Okay"
"So Ray you never told me you're good with kids
"I don't know why but kids just like me"
"thats cool"
Me, Neptune and Nepgear return to the guild with Noah
"Noah" an woman says
"mommy"
I saw Noah run in to him mom's arms
"Mommy I miss you so much
"Noah I was so worried about you"
I smile at what I see
"Hey Ray"
Yes Neptune"
"We still need to turn in the quests
"Oh yeah let's do that"
we turn in the quests and the rewards 3 nep bull and 7000 Credits
"Hay Nepgear can I ask you something"
"Sure Raymond"
"Can you tell me what an nep bull is?"
"A nep bull can Restores your hp by 30%"
"uh Nepgear I know that I'm in world called gamindustri and that this place is kinda of like a game but I don't have hp as far as I know and if I do then I can't see it
"You mean you can't see your own hp"
"No should I be able too?"
"Yes should be able too see it"
"You know what I think I get what Neptune said earlier now well anyway Nepgear is there a way I can learn how to see my hp
"I don't know but maybe histoire knows but if she doesn't I can make you something so you can"
"Thanks Nepgear"
"if you guys are done taking now can we go home now"
"Neptune before we go back can we get something to eat I'm pretty hungry that and I didn't get the chance to eat breakfast
"Hmm now that I think about it Ray we did kinda leave not to long after you woke up and it's about dinner time anyways so let's find a place to eat
Me, Neptune and Nepgear found a restaurant and we went inside and find a table then we orders some food
"So Ray"
"Yes Neptune"
"whats the deal with that locket you got"
"Well it's my mom's locket she gave it to me before she died"
"Ray I'm sor-"
"it's ok Neptune You don't have to say sorry I knew that you might ask about it sooner or later"
"Can I ask why she gave you it before she died" Nepgear said
I close my eyes and tell them
"sure why not Well you see my dad gave the locket to my mom before I was born but not to long after I was born my dad was killed by someone my mom loved my dad very much so it meant a lot to her she always had it with her 11 years after my dad died my mom got sick and was dying a couple days before she died she gave it to me and tell me to give it to a girl I truly love like how my dad gave it to her"
I opened my eyes and look at Neptune and Nepgear they both look like they're about to cry from my story
"Come on guys don't cry please"
"But it was sad" said Nepgear
"Ray why you gotta tell an sad story like that"
"because you both asked me about the locket but please don't cry"
I see the waiter coming to our table with our food
"Look guys the food is coming"
This got Neptune to go back to normal but Nepgear still looked like she was going to cry the waiter given us our food and looked at Nepgear he then looked at me and give me mean look before he left
I sigh, then say "Neptune is there anything you can say to Nepgear to make her feel better
"come on Nepgear there no need to cry i love you and I don't want to see you cry"
"really Neptune"
"Yes really now eat"
After we finished eating we leave and go back to the basilicom after a long day
"Histy we're back"
"Oh welcome back Neptune, Nepgear, Raymond
"hi histoire" I said
"Raymond how was your day and how did you do on your first quest"
"My day was good and for the quest I think I did okay"
"Well I'm going to play some games now" Neptune says
"Wait Neptune I got a call from noire she said to remind you that all the CPU's are going to lastation for a meeting tomorrow"
"Oh yeah I forgot all about that thanks Histy
"You welcome Neptune"
"It's been a long day I'm gonna go to bed now" I say
"Oh no your not Ray"
"Why can't i?"
"Because Ray I have to see how good you're at games" Neptune says with an smile
"Do I have to"
"Yes you have to"
"Fine I'll play some games with you"
After 3 hours me and Neptune played 4 different types of games and in all of them I got my ass beat also histoire and Nepgear went to sleep
"You know Ray I thought you would be better at games
"Well I'm an orphan I Really didn't get to play much games but i have been told that I'm good at fighting games
"Even if you're good at fighting games Ray I bet I could still beat you"
"you're on but what do you want if you win"
"Well Ray when I win you have to do anything I say for a day
"Fine but if I win you have to do one thing that I ask of you
"Only one thing that's easy"
"Great then let's pick the game"
Me and Neptune picked a game called nepper Fighter 5 we pick our characters and start the game
Neptune won the first round
"well Ray it looks like I'm going to win"
"There still 2 more rounds you know"
I won round 2
"Not to sure of yourself now are you Neptune"
"Oh I'm sure of myself that I'm going to kick your butt"
I barely won Round 3 which meant I win the bet
"I can't believe I lost
"well I won the bet Neptune which means you have to do one thing I ask of you
"fine what do you want me to do?
I want you to take m-" before I could finish what I was saying Neptune face turned red and she shouted at me
"NO NO NO NO NOOOO I CAN'T DO THAT RAY"
"wait Neptune whats wrong?" I ask her
"Well Ray we did only meet 5 days ago and you're a little young too ask me to do that kind of thing with you
I knew what she meant My face then turned very red I then say "t-that's not what I was going to ask of you"
"really that's a relief but what were you going to have me do?"
"I-I wanted you to take me with you to lastation tomorrow"
"sure I'll take you with me but can I ask why"
"W-Well I can't stay here forever so I thought I should see what lastation is like"
"Ray you shouldn't worry about that right now"
"o-okay Neptune I won't worry about that now anyway I'm going to bed now so goodnight"
"I should get some sleep too Goodnight Ray"
