chapter-552

Before the scene in the grasslands, the flashes of light landed on the caves, slowly turning into humans.

"Hi… there?"

Hearing a strange voice, Luna's eyes fluttered open. She noticed a strange rocky ceiling and felt tiny sharp rocks poking at her lower back.

"Mou…" Letting out a strange sound, Luna rubbed her tired eyes, slowly getting used to the strange atmosphere.

At the other side of the cave, a strange round-headed girl watched with fascination as Luna slowly moved to sit up, her eyes glimmering with expectation.

"W-Who?" Luna's vision cleared up, revealing the strange girl. As the rock rolled down the floor, she pulled out her wand, the tip shining in blue, "Who are you?!"

"Hey, easy!" The strange girl waved her hand erratically, her face flushed, "I am your teammate, nice to meetcha!"

"That accent… you are from Summerland's Southern Tribe, aren't you?" Luna asked while still keeping her guard up.

"Oh, you have heard about us?" The strange girl clapped her hand with excitement, "Your face, pale, and beautiful as snow. You are definitely from Winterland."

Luna didn't answer as she looked around the dimly-lit cave. Then, she noticed the way outside. Standing up, she headed out of the cave, the vast view stretching before her eyes.

The strange girl followed with quick and nimble steps, "Hey, what do you think Tournament of Champions is about?"

"No idea," Luna replied while moving her finger across the white tree bark. She hadn't seen such a strange tree before.

"Hey, I see something." The strange girl tugged Luna's shirt and pointed in the direction of the forest.

Luna glanced at her hand that touched the hem of her clothes, 'Why is she acting so familiar?'

At that moment, Luna noticed the strange 'X' red symbol floating above the strange girl's auburn hair.

'Team killing isn't allowed, hmm.' That caused a slight weight to get lifted off her shoulders. At least now, there wouldn't be danger of her backstabbing during the night hour.

She and the strange girl ventured into the forest, heading to the edge. Soon later, they moved out of the security of the trees, entering the vast grassland.

"Wow!" The strange girl exclaimed, covering her eyes from the sunray, "So bright and beautiful."

However, Luna noticed a silhouette of hundreds of people walking out of the forests.

'Tournament of Champions… I wonder if my hubby is here.' Thinking thoughtfully, Luna tried to see whether Isaac was also there. However, a thin veil obscured everyone's faces.

"We should return." Luna shook the strange girl out of a daze.

"Ah, alrighty!" The strange girl beamed into a smile and followed Luna back to the forest. Soon, they returned to the cave.

"By the way, what is your name?" The strange girl asked, hopping in front of Luna, waiting for answers.

"Night," Luna replied with her in-game name, not bothering to think of a fake in-game name.

"Ah, nice to meetcha again. My name is Cecilia, Queen Cecilia!"

"Eh, queen?" Luna flinched and stopped in her tracks. She knew that there was a Beta Tester who went by the name of Queen Cecilia. She was said to be a powerhouse of Swordsman Class. However, by developing that Class, it turned into her unique class, Swordswoman.

"Hehe, yup!" Like she was proud of that fact, Cecilia flicked her nose, puffing her chest with pride.

Luna's beautiful blue eyes widened in surprise. She thought that the strange girl wasn't much. However, she'd heard rumors of Queen Cecilia, and everyone who underestimated her would be the one to bite the dust. She was powerful.

"By the way, I have heard this name of… Night." Cecilia's sweet grin appeared on her face, eyes shining with expectation, "Bookstore Goddess, I think that was the title? That description would fit you."

"And if I was that person, then what?" Luna asked while standing head-taller than Cecilia. Even though she was only 165cm tall, Cecilia was even shorter.

"So, that means you are Wraith's girlfriend. Kyaa!" Out of nowhere, Cecilia cried out like a little girl. Face flushed in excitement.

"And what if I am?" Luna asked with pursed lips. The fact that her relationship with Isaac was that known made her quite embarrassed.

"Hehe." Cecilia sat on her rocky bed, crossing her legs, "I want to hear all about it! Please, tell me how you two met!"

Luna's face flushed pink. Last year, she broke out of her innocent shell after that experience in the hospital. However, it was still inside her. When talking with strangers, she acted carefully, unlike before.

But, when she had something in common, she would turn back into her innocent self.

Sitting next to Cecilia, her cute face flushed even deeper red as Cecilia stared at her with shining eyes.

"Alright, but shh, don't tell anyone." Showing a shh expression, Luna looked at her sincerely.

Cecilia traced her finger across her soft lips, showing that she zipped her lips.

Luna opened her mouth, beginning to tell a story. While every other team focused on forcing their defenses, the two girls spoke about romance.

…

"Hey, you, wake up." A beautiful blond-haired woman grabbed a stick from the ground and poked gently on the shoulder of an adorable black-haired girl. After seeing the girl moving like she was in a deep dream, she sighed and threw the stick away.

"Team-up mission, are you kidding me?" Sighing with irritation, the blond-haired woman stood up, the armory clinking as it tightly hugged her voluptuous body. She looked like an attractive middle-aged woman with the curves of a woman in her twenties.

"W-Where am I?" Then, the black-haired girl woke up from her deep sleep. She immediately saw an attractive middle-aged woman staring down at her. The air turned silent. Neither spoke or blinked.

"Hmm, should we introduce ourselves?" The attractive middle-aged woman awkwardly scratched her cheek, "I am not too familiar with dealing with strangers…"

"O-Oh…" The black-haired young woman sat up, her black hair flowing over her shoulders, "M-My name is Wonderland. Nice to meet you."
