"I’ve already said, I’m fine, no need to worry about ."
Eiriri stretched lazily, smiling playfully at everyone in front of her.
"See, I’m out here perfectly well, right? Plus, my dad and mom have had doctors check out, and aside from needing to boost my nutrition and exercise, I have no other issues."
"But... it was a Death Ga..."
Hearing Eiriri’s response, a boy with glasses and a normal appearance standing by the bedside spoke up worriedly.
"And you didn’t wake up for a full two years... we don’t know what happened in that ga..."
"Hmm... I was really scared at first, and encountered so terrifying things, but I also t many kind people, you know? And I was part of the Raid Group! My companions and I personally fought through 100 levels and beat the final Boss to get out. Facing a victorious hero, shouldn’t you be praising as amazing? I’m one of the heroes who saved thousands of players!"
"This bullheaded style really suits you, Zemura."
Hearing this, a black-haired, long-straight-haired girl standing on the other side sighed, and Eiriri gave her a cheeky V-sign.
"Of course, how about it? Want to turn my story into a novel? I can allow you to artistically embellish , you know? Though I’m not the top, at least I’m in the top three... no wait, excluding Asuna and Yuki, those weirdos... I could at least be in the top ten!"
"But seeing you lying in the hospital bed now really isn’t convincing."
"That’s rich coming from you, Shiyu of Misty Hill! Once I recover, I’ll definitely show you my real skills... ah, why isn’t there Three-Dinsional Maneuver Gear in the real world!"
Eiriri has really changed a lot...
Listening to their familiar bickering, gumi Kato, quietly slicing an apple in the corner, watched the scene in front, remaining silent.
It’s been two years since Eiriri entered the Death Ga. But...
Thinking of this, gumi Kato glanced at Aki Tomoya with glasses standing at the bedside. She still rembered how anxious Aki was when he learned about Eiriri’s condition, even recklessly wanting to enter the ga himself.
And after that... the relationship between the three began to change gradually.
gumi Kato likes Aki Tomoya, but Aki never openly responded to her feelings; gumi understands this well. In Aki’s heart, there’s still a place for Eiriri. He’s just that indecisive kind of guy. gumi doesn’t dislike Aki for this, but... even she has her limits of patience.
Since then, it’s been two years.
Even though the three often ca to visit Eiriri in the hospital bed during these two years, Aki never confessed to gumi. Of course, gumi could understand Aki’s thoughts; she felt the sa way. Eiriri’s feelings for Aki were not unnoticed by gumi, and it could be said that Eiriri being caught up in the Death Ga was partly their fault.
Maybe because of this, Aki kept his distance from her afterward.
But what is Aki really thinking?
Does he intend to restore the ambiguous relationship between the four?
"Knock, knock, knock."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the patient room. Hearing the knock, gumi stood up.
"I’ll go open the door."
After saying this, gumi walked to the door, sowhat curious about who would visit Eiriri at this ti. Eiriri’s parents ca daily but not at this hour; perhaps it was one of Eiriri’s classmates.
Thinking this, gumi opened the door but was surprised to find a stranger standing outside.
"Who are you...?"
Looking at the handso, charming young man with black hair and black eyes, gumi couldn’t help but pause, while the man upon seeing gumi also paused briefly, then smiled.
"Hello, is this Eiriri’s room?"
"Ah, yes..."
The man’s voice was gentle, full of magnetism; paired with his looks, even the usually calm gumi felt a blush creep onto her face, quickly nodding.
"May I ask who you are?"
"My na is Fang Zheng, here to see Eiriri. Are you... her classmate?"
"Yes, I’m gumi Kato, nice to et you."
Under Fang Zheng’s gaze, gumi felt her heart skipping a few beats, which was rare for her. So, for a mont, she was flustered, quickly stepping aside to let Fang Zheng into the room.
"gumi, who ca... Mr. Fang Zheng!"
At this mont, Eiriri curiously looked towards the door, and upon seeing Fang Zheng follow gumi in, she excitedly called out, then jumped off the bed in her pajamas, throwing herself into Fang Zheng’s arms.
"It’s really Mr. Fang Zheng! How did you know I was here? Am I dreaming?"
"You seem quite spirited."
Watching Eiriri in his arms, Fang Zheng chuckled and stroked her hair. Eiriri looked up and giggled at Fang Zheng.
"Of course, I’m recovering well. Oh, my parents are also coming later, how about we all go out for dinner?"
Seeing this scene, gumi Kato, Shiyu of Misty Hill, and Aki Tomoya were all stunned. They had known Eiriri for so long, yet it was the first ti seeing her act so warmly with another man, especially Aki, whose confusion was apparent. He had grown up with Eiriri, yet he never knew she had any distant relatives like that, and moreover...
"Zemura? Who is this?"
Then, it was Shiyu of Misty Hill who first curiously asked, and upon hearing her query, Eiriri left Fang Zheng’s embrace, then cheekily smiled and stared back provocatively at Shiyu before answering word by word.
"Oh right, I haven’t introduced him to everyone yet. His na is Fang Zheng; he’s the leader of the Dark Moon Sword Guild I joined in the ga. He led us to clear the ga and helped us return to this world so quickly, you know?"
Upon hearing this, the three people breathed a sigh of relief, especially Aki Tomoya, who felt a mixture of emotions seeing Eiriri in Fang Zheng’s arms. But now, it seems Eiriri sees Fang Zheng as a savior...
However, just then, Aki noticed Eiriri glance at him with a knowing smile before speaking again.
"And... Mr. Fang Zheng is also my boyfriend!"
"What...?"
The three were stunned upon hearing this.
