Chapter 11 – Gaming Experience

"Well then, how shall we play the damn game?" Rin asked forcing her anger to herself. After all the embarrassment she felt, she manage to keep it in control whilst Len just chuckled as he watch his self-proclaimed Princess threw a tantrum.

"Didn't I just explain to you earlier?" Len sighs but it's no doubt he's enjoying this game of his.

"Err… you did?" She cocked her head in confusion. It's not impossible that the prize that Len wanted had given her amnesia.

"Lemme see…" Len stood up and found a blackboard out of a nowhere. "As I said, the one that can scare them the most wins."

Hatsune Miku – 40 points
Hatsune Mikuo – 60 points
Shion Kaito – 60 points
Akita Neru – 80 points
Kasane Teto – 10 points
Megurine Luka – 90 points
Gumi Megpoid – 50 points

(Making them scream + 10 points
Making them run away + 20 points
Making them faints + 50 points
Kill them + 100 points)

"Is it me or did I just see something illegal there?"

"You know what to do now?" he asked ignoring my question.

"I guess… but why does each person have different points?"

"I've divided those who are easy to scare and those who are not. As you can see, Megurine Luka has a highest point because she's not a person that would run away and scream for help."

"I feel sorry for Teto!"

"It's part of the game."

Rin POV

Hehe, wining this will be a snap!

Len doesn't know that in the place before I transferred here I was famously known for freaking people out in Halloween. Sorry readers but the kiss scene between me and Len is not going to happen!

I can't believe I said that word… I should have censored it….

Rin Rin~ Rin Rin~ Rin Rin~

Hey that's my phone… Who on earth called in a crucial time as this?

'Stupid and Annoying Len' the phone read out.

Yes, I changed his name in my contact number until he went back to normal.

I received the call by clicking the button and reach it to my ears. "Yeah?"

"Kyaaaaa—"

Whoa what was that? Someone was screaming. It seems like that person was out of its wits. Whoever that is just made my ear bleed.

"Yo Rin," It was no doubt that this voice belonged to Len. "Have you caught any victim yet? Because if you haven't… then you'll be eating my dust," he chuckled and turned the phone off in his own accord.

Bleep~

"Ha—h who does he think he is? Give me my Lenny back!" I snapped through the phone knowing that the connection was cut "All he does were just pissing me off! How about looking in the mirror for once! Like he already freaked someone soul out, will you try thinking that for once?"

I closed my phone in a feeling of dismissal, and started to calm down.

Wait… if you think about it calmly, what was that scream in the beginning of the call? It's hard to believe Len was making it. The pitch was completely different. Unless he was cross-voicing that is.

I searched the deepest part of my mind. Oh yeah… it was Teto's voice. Wait what, Teto's? Does that mean that he already pawned her? That's unbelievable! Tch, to can play it that game… Killing the weak first eh? Such simple tactic could never win against the invincible Rin-sama! I for once used my head and thought of something that'll blow your mind to the next dimension!

Think about it, when you're playing some RPG games doesn't it pissed you off that you're only killing the small fries? Oh and the annoying dungeon puzzles? Why not levels up in one go by defeating the last boss straight away? I did that when I was in my elementary arc and wow I was good. Even the adults, specifically speaking my father, were crying because of me.

Ah~ memories~

That's why; I'm aiming for the last boss, aka Megurine Luka. If I could just make her faint then I'll be in the lead! We'll see whose eating whose dust.

…No, I can't kill someone…

"Rin, what are you doing?" a voice was heard from behind which made me jumped.

Oh god, the prey is behind the hunter…

"Lu-Luka-nee, what are you doing here?" I spurted not knowing what to say.

"Didn't I explain things already? This is my grandparent's inn remember?"

"O-ooooo oo oooo oo oo ooo oo oo oo oooo ooo oooooooo!"

Okay, this is getting stupid… I looked like a lost clown.

"What's wrong Rin?" Confusion was planted on her face.

"Nothing, have you seen the others?"

"Yes, it seems like they had booked a new room. Do you know why?"

Hmm… Lemme see…

Rin + Len – those idiots = yeah, I know.

"Where is this newly booked room? They didn't tell me so I was lost," Lying is so not my thing, but I managed to fool her.

"It's over there, just turn right and you'll be there before you'll know it," she instructed as she points her index finger to the respective place. "Want me to guide you?"

"I'll manage… by the way; I've wanted to ask you… what will you do if you see a ghost?" I asked just to make sure.

"Hmm… I'll think I'll thrust my hand into it to see if it's untouchable. And then see if it got any legs. And then take some pictures of it and send it to the newspaper department. That way, more money more Tunas~" she said merrily. Dark aura rises around her as she laughed like the final bosses you see in games.

"Err… I'll better go!"

Okay, mission failed.

Luka is stronger than I thought.

Stronger than Gundams.

It's good that I asked her about it first or I'll be in the first page of the newspaper dressing as a ghost.

The term of 'don't mix virtual with reality' is actually true after all.

Since Luka's no good, I'll have to hunt the others… err…

Miku? Len probably killed her already.

Neru? No she's quite dangerous…

Teto? Oh yeah dead.

Gumi? She's hard to find and is probably in the attic spying someone.

Kaito? Since this is his first time coming here I got a hunch he's traveling for various flavor of Ice cream.

Mikuo? Worth a try…

Wait… I'm totally losing here!

"Greetings Kagamine Rin," Someone I don't familiar of called me from behind.

"Oh hi… err…"

"It's Gakupo."

"Oh…" I can't believe I did't remember his name! Hey, it's not my fault that he didn't appear in like 5 chapters.

"Have you seen Luka? She keeps running away…"

Well no duh.

"Wait— you say Luka was running away from you?"

"Hmm, oh yes. Whenever I saw her she always wears this frightening face and keeps her distance. Sighs… I wonder why…"

O h I get it! Hehe, sorry Len but the prize is MINE!

"Well, lucky for you I just saw her over there!"

"Thank you Kagamine-san."

"Please, just call me Rin like the others. You'll confuse me and Len if this keeps going."

"Then I shall. Farewell."

Then…

Let's begin the operation!

"Hello Mikuo~" I sang.

"O-oh Hello Rin, where's Len?" he asked in a confuse state.

"Never mind him. Anyway what do you think of Neru?"

"Um… where does that come from?"

"Just answer it! Do you like her or not?"

"H-HAH, liking that stupid girl? No way! No way in hell! She's a barbarian! If any guy actually even looks at her then they'll need some serious mental renovation!"

This tsundere… well, at least I got what I've wanted.

"I see, bye!" I waved at him and went somewhere else.

"Sheesh, what does she want any way?"

"OI, Mikuo…"

"Hmm?"

"You'll need some serious explanations to do…" And so, the respected Neru came into the scene with a golden metal bat tightly gripped into the palm of her hand.

"Wh-what're you doing? KYAAAAAAHHHHHHH—"

Just like that, Mikuo screamed and runs away like a girl as Neru chased him as if she had lost her insanity. But still, seriously Mikuo… Kyah?

Huhu, I'm awesome. Thanks to Gumi I learned how to record a person's voice and play it for others to hear. And also, thanks to Gakupo, I tried to use others to scare others. Am I a genius?

I opened my orange cell phone and clicked Len's contact number.

"Is there anything you desire my princess? I'm your one and only loyal servant and shall always serve you if it's within my power to do so."

"Sorry, wrong number."

Bleep~

I closed it without thinking.

Rin~ Rin~

"Haha, what is it that you want?" he chuckled as I answered the phone.

"Did you hear that scream earlier?" I asked grinning. This is a small inn so the slightest noise could be heard in any direction.

"Yeah, Mikuo's pretty lame." He laughed on the other side of the phone. "So that's 90 points for you right?"

"You bet!" I puffed out my chest proudly. "How's your score?"

"50 points, just caught Teto off guard when she was on her way to the restroom. Screamed and fainted."

"How about the others, have you K.O-ed them yet?" I eagerly asked.

"Giving information to my enemies is not allowed in my book."

"Then write it."

"No."

"Please?"

"Only if you're willing to wear only an apron and greet me 'Good morning master' every time I wake up from my sleep. And every time I arrive home from school you'll say, 'Welcome home master. Do you want dinner or maybe a bath? Or do – you – want – me?' with the cutest smile on your cutest face. Take note, only wear an apron—"

Clicks on Disconnect.

I didn't hear anything.

Really I didn't.

Shut up will you?

Anyway, since Len wouldn't tell me if he had pawned the others that means he didn't. Anyone wouldn't tell where their prey is until they've been caught. He's merely teasing me.

The current time is 11:45 o'clock. Fifteen minutes until midnight. I didn't know more than one hour had passed. Usually I'll be sleeping around this time but my eyes were wide awake. It's kind of fun playing this game…

"If I win, I shall seize your first kiss, Princess."

Okay, I'm beginning to hate this game.

"I wonder where Teto is?" someone chatted in the respective room that Luka told me. No doubt it was Miku's voice.

"Maybe she's lost. Should we look after her? She's not good with the dark," now Neru was talking and the beeping of her cell phone was also heard.

"We should stay~" and that was Gumi's voice. It seems all of them are in the same room. If they only knew Teto had fainted in the middle of the hallways.

Now, how should I freak them out?

I scanned the hallways outside the room looking for frightening materials. Hmm… Doors, floors, ceilings, lamps, stairs, and… wait, does these things even help?

I began to scan above my head, there's an electric circuit.

Oh! This could work!

I feel like some robbers hehe.

Now where's the evil dark switch again? I remembered when I meddled with one of these and the entire neighborhood started screaming. It was quite awesome. Listening how they screamed in horror just because the light had been turned off. If I switch it off again maybe the history will repeat itself!

I raised my hand hoping that it would reach.

Ugh… I hate my life… soooooooo bad…

Greetings, just now the almighty Kagamine Rin had failed to click a switch just because she couldn't reach it.

"I wish the switch would turn over on its own…" I mumbled in humiliation.

Suddenly the room was enveloped in darkness.

"H-hey who turned off the light?"

"S-seriously?"

"Can you all calm down? They will surely fix this matter," all of them cried inside their room.

Muahahahaha the devils must have answered my call and turned the switch in my stead!

"Sorry to break it to you Rin, but I'm the one that turned the switch over," beside me, there's a smiling Len whom I thought is hiding in the shadows.

"Wha- how? You're practically the same sight as me!" I nearly yelled as I stepped back away from him. After for some time now I have deemed that staying less than one meter away from him could cause trouble.

"I got some help from a chair. So does this mean their scream is mine?"

"They haven't screamed or anything!"

"Then I'll just make them," he grinned and ran passed me.

"Ho-hold on!" I shouted and ran after him.

Len took a piece of torchlight from his pocket and went quietly inside the room where Miku and the others are located.

"Hey, did you hear that?" Miku started to gave a slight fear to her surroundings. Given that it's dark, they couldn't see Len who is sitting at the corner laughing silently.

"There's nothing," Gumi said denying Miku's cry. Neru just stood there quietly in full alert.

Click… Click… Click… Click… Click…

Len tapped the wall in every direction.

"Wa- what was that?" Miku cried again.

"There's nothing!" Gumi again denied Miku who was quite scared herself.

.

"Boo," Len said quietly as he placed his torchlight under his face.

"KYAAAAAHHHH!" all of them screamed except Neru who was running away as fast as she could.

Wait… that's it?

Just like that...
