[Isn’t this Blood Demon King?] [22]

I was reading an article about the VRS event competition and suddenly saw a familiar face, so I brought it here.

That’s her, right?

[Comments]

[Did Deron release a school uniform costume?]

ㄴ[It’s a real-life photo.]

ㄴ[Rly????????????]

[Is this real? Where did you see the article?]

ㄴ[It’s on the VRS Inven main page]

ㄴ[Thx]

[Our Gallery Goddess-nim is a real person?]

ㄴ[What else would she be?]

ㄴ[I just thought she was using a pretty avatar;;]

ㄴ[There’s even an authentication post.]

[ㅗㅜㅡㅑ] (Ooooh)

[VRS?? Did this bitch abandon Deron?]

ㄴ[Looks like it lol But I’d ditch it too lol]

ㄴ[No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

[I can tell where that school is from the uniform]

ㄴ[How the hell do you know that]

ㄴ[My cousin wears the same uniform.]

ㄴ[Is your cousin pretty?]

[Didn’t they say she’s a high schooler? lol She’s no different from an elementary schooler]

ㄴ[Lololololol]

ㄴ[Doesn’t grow even with age… Approved…]

ㄴ[Lol…]

ㄴ[You crazy bastards]

[Honestly, it’s been a few years since the authentication post. But as of today, I’m relieved. The Blood Demon King doesn’t change…]

[Can I see her if I go to the event stadium?]

ㄴ[Probably, they say the finals are in progress]

ㄴ[Looks like it’s being broadcast too]

Hayeon and Sohee, and Ellie and Seongshin-sunbae, etc.

The news that the VR Game Club was participating in an event match was slowly spreading through the internet.

In the case of Sohee and Seongshin, no one recognized them, so they didn’t receive much attention, but that wasn’t the case for Ellie and Hayeon.

Both of them set their in-game avatars to be identical to their real selves.

Moreover, both of them had proven their skills to everyone through previous event matches.

Of course, the biggest reason people were paying attention was their appearance.

They were current high school students, but they didn’t look like it.

As if time had stopped, their growth had stopped in their childhood and wasn’t flowing.

Heterogeneous charm.

Many people paid attention to the appearance of the two beautiful girls who seemed like they would never exist in reality.

[Are there any other pictures besides the one in the article?] [26]

[Comments]

ㄴ[Yeah, looks like it]

ㄴ[Pya lolololol]

[Jupiter’s snack bag is bulging.]

ㄴ[Rly lololololol]

ㄴ[Bulging lololololol]

ㄴ[So cute… I want to feed her snacks until her belly is full lol]

ㄴ[Rly lol I can feed her a lot and make her belly bulge]

ㄴ[You crazy bastards…]

[Are there any armpits?]

ㄴ[Looks like they’re not showing them because it’s not a game;]

ㄴ[Sigh….]

[I’m having the biggest dilemma of my life after seeing this]

ㄴ[What dilemma?]

ㄴ[I’m debating which of the two to approve as my bride]

ㄴ[You crazy bastard]

ㄴ[Why not approve both?]

ㄴ[Genius Nong lololol]

ㄴ[Genius ㅇㅈㄹ lololol Shit]

[Look at the state of these comments, shit…]

[Nong lololololol]

ㄴ[Jjaek lololololol]

[I left for the stadium after seeing this.]

ㄴ[Isn’t civilian access prohibited?]

ㄴ[I guess I can meet them if I wait outside the stadium.]

ㄴ[Go work at that time…]

ㄴ[I’m going to work.]

[What??? When did Deron release a school uniform costume?]

ㄴ[It’s not Deron, it’s real life.]

ㄴ[????]

ㄴ[Can’t even tell the difference between games and reality anymore lololol]

Deron is the game that Hayeon and Ellie mainly play.

Naturally, the two’s activities received the most attention in the Deron Gallery.

However, there was another gallery that was receiving just as much attention.

That was the VRS Minor Gallery.

Virtual Reality Swordsman Gallery ⓜ

[Anyone see the Inven main article?] [17]

(Photo of Hayeon’s face slightly captured)

I was skimming through the student event and found a familiar face, is she really participating?

Isn’t the level not right for her to join here?

[Comments]

[Who is she, you idiot]

ㄴ[Look at the Inven article, she’s that middle school samurai from back then. There’s a related video too]

ㄴ[Link please.]

ㄴ[Just go in, it’s on the main page, I said?]

ㄴ[Too lazy]

ㄴ[Shibal-lyeon…] (Fucking bitch…)

[Isn’t she just here to watch? There were rumors of her going pro.]

ㄴ[Wasn’t that proven to be a lie?]

ㄴ[That’s not true, pro teams actually moved to recruit her.]

ㄴ[Then why isn’t she debuting?]

ㄴ[Dunno?]

[Is this real…? Are we going to see the middle school samurai again?]

[Heueung Nuna…] (Panting Noona…)

[Wild Noona came lololololol]

ㄴ[Wild had a Noona?]

ㄴ[Yeah, she’s Wild’s Noona]

ㄴ[Rly…? Not Wild’s younger sister?]

ㄴ[Not a biological Noona.]

ㄴ[Gasp… This…]

[Noona!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

[Sigh, I thought the gallery had calmed down, but it’s going to be a mess again]

ㄴ[Rly lol The number of retarded bastards looking for Noona is increasing massively.]

[Noona… I’m cold… Why aren’t you doing VRS?]

[Why is she your Noona? She’s Wild’s Noona lololol]

ㄴ[Rly lololololol]

[Wild, you fucking pedo lololol You were the only one meeting such a Noona lololol]

[No, you idiots, she’s not related to Wild at all]

***

Early morning.

As I left the hotel room with Sohee, I could find Ellie dozing off in front of the door.

If Seongshin-sunbae wasn’t standing next to her, Ellie would have already collapsed on the floor and fallen asleep.

“Ellie.”

“Ha, Hayeon-인가…?” (-inga…?)

Nodding.

Ellie, who started yawning widely, rubbed her eyes and raised her head at my call.

Judging from her expression, she didn’t get a good night’s sleep last night.

I looked at Ellie with concern.

“Seongshin-sunbae. Didn’t Ellie sleep yesterday?”

“Uh… I don’t know…”

I shook my head at Seongshin-sunbae’s words.

I don’t know if she’ll be able to play properly in today’s game.

Unlike the dozing Ellie, I, Sohee, and Seongshin-sunbae were fine.

I shifted my gaze and checked their condition, and it wasn’t much different from yesterday.

It meant that they were fit to play the game.

“Let’s go eat.”

As the team leader, it was natural to lead the team members.

I led the three of them to the hotel buffet.

If you come to such a luxurious hotel, you can’t miss breakfast.

As it was early, there weren’t many people.

“Not bad.”

Sohee’s first words after entering the buffet.

Ellie, who was dozing off, nodded as if agreeing.

To think that they can only say that this level of facility is not bad.

I was able to realize once again that the world the two of them live in is quite different.

“Waa…”

Compared to the calm reactions of the two, Seongshin-sunbae’s reaction was fresh.

A wide-open mouth. Eyes darting around.

“Is it okay to eat in a place like this…?”

“It’s all coming out of the school’s expenses anyway, right? Don’t worry.”

“Oh, is that so…”

Don’t worry about the money. The school will pay for everything anyway.

I confidently crossed the buffet.

After each of us took a plate and walked around the buffet for a while.

I sat down and looked at each of our plates.

Ellie and Sohee’s plates contained light foods such as salads and bread, while my and Seongshin-sunbae’s plates were piled high with meat from the morning.

And so, the meal time began.

As I moved my fork and knife and crammed meat into my mouth, Sohee, who was sitting next to me, smiled lightly and opened her mouth.

“Hayeon-i really likes meat.”

“Yeah. I don’t eat rice if there’s no meat in the side dishes.”

“I’ll remember that…”

Sohee just blankly nodded her head at my words.

Did you see that? My love for meat.

I chewed the meat even more aggressively.

It was in the middle of enjoying a delicious meal.

A strange gaze felt from the surroundings.

Not one. Two, or more than that.

Maybe three?

I tilted my head and looked around.

Then, the gazes disappeared in an instant.

No hostility is felt. Friendly gazes filled with affection.

“Hayeon-ah. You have something on your mouth.”

“Eueup…”

As I was looking around, Sohee took out a tissue and carefully wiped my mouth.

Dark red sauce smeared on the tissue.

I can easily handle this much by sticking out my tongue and licking my mouth.

I shook my head and shook off Sohee’s hand.

“It’ll be clean if I do this.”

Licking Licking.

Did you see that?

I looked up at Sohee as if boasting.

Sohee’s gaze looking down at me.

Sohee, who was holding the tissue tightly, turned her head with a strangely distorted gaze.

It was then.

Ellie’s eyes, which had been munching on bread with a sleepy gaze, turned sharp.

A sudden change in atmosphere.

I wondered what it was and stared at her, and Ellie carefully opened her mouth.

“Hayeon…”

“Why?”

“Did you also notice it?”

“What?”

“I’m talking about the gazes felt from the surroundings…”

“Ah. Yeah.”

“It seems that an enemy has followed us… We must be careful.”

An enemy?

I looked at Ellie’s small head with concern.

As much as she likes games, I hoped she would distinguish between reality and games a little.

An enemy in reality, there’s no way such a thing exists.

This gaze is that.

I’m so pretty that they’re staring at me.

That’s right. I’m sure of it.

It was certain when I saw that it was similar to the gaze I felt in Deron.

Breakfast at the buffet was quite satisfying.

Although Ellie and Sohee didn’t seem very satisfied.

“How much time is left until the game starts?”

“One hour.”

One hour left until the game starts.

I led my team members and left the hotel to head to the stadium.

On the way to the stadium.

The gazes felt from all directions increased even more.

I received a lot of attention yesterday, but today it feels like even more.

“Why, I feel like there are more people looking at us…?”

Seongshin-sunbae, who is insensitive to the gazes around her, also muttered quietly as if feeling different from yesterday.

I shrugged my shoulders and pushed my chest forward.

“They’re not looking at Sunbae.”

“Oh, really…?”

“Yes. They’re looking at me.”

“At you…?”

“Yes, I’m pretty, you know.”

Seongshin-sunbae’s expression distorted at my words that flowed out as if it were natural.
