Meeting

How can I get them to allow it?

If I had a family and they showed such symptoms, I wouldn’t allow it either.

This is really awkward.

Saying, “Arang-i’s seizures and I are separate, and I don’t feel pain, discomfort, fear, or terror!” would probably make things worse…

‘Is all that’s left here aegyo…!’

They’re very worried about me, but eventually, Anna-rang and Teacher will grant my wish. The problem is how difficult the process will be.

First, I log out of the virtual world.

Anna-onni naturally detaches me from the access unit and hugs me.

Tears are a no-go. If I shed tears with this face, this beauty, it could break their hearts like it did with Hye-sun onni last time.

Usually, negotiation is needed in situations like this, but I don’t have any weapons to use for negotiation. All I have is aegyo.

In other words, cute aegyo is my only bargaining chip.

I don’t think I can go to the offline competition with just this.

Anna-onni stares intently at my face with a worried expression while holding me.

I can feel her resolve to never let me go in that expression and gaze. It’s an expression of Anna-onni that I’ve never seen before.

“Do you really want to go?”

Anna-onni stroked my hair.

Anna-onni’s expression wasn’t very good as she asked if I wanted to go.

Do I want to go to the competition so much that I’m making my family worry this much? The truth is, no.

Of course, games are important. I like games, and I like Han-jeong too. But I don’t want to worry my family by being consumed by that.

Warm touch, affectionate gaze, ample breasts. Ah, that’s not it. Anyway, a family that allows me to enjoy games and acknowledges and likes me for it.

I should give up on this competition.

I should prove that I’m healthy and happy, so that I can go to offline competitions without worrying them in the future.

I was organizing my thoughts and about to tell Anna-onni that it’s okay if I don’t go to the competition when…

Chuk.

Anna-onni kissed my forehead.

“Let’s go.”

“Huh?”

“I’m worried, but keeping Arang-i locked up in the hospital like this is… I know it’s just for my own satisfaction. Arang-i wants to go outside, and I can’t stop her as her onni.”

Unexpectedly, Anna-onni, who had an expression that wouldn’t allow it even if I did aegyo, smiled as if resigned and gave me permission.

“I felt like if I didn’t allow it this time, Arang-i might never leave the hospital room…”

Anna-onni carefully stroked the severed part of my arm.

It’s true that I, as a disabled person, won’t be able to go outside as normally as other people.

I have to endure a lot of effort and pain to go outside.

Because of that, even if they can go outside, everyone ends up not leaving their homes due to the gazes of others and the pain, and they rot away like that.

Thinking about it that way, I’m in a really good situation.

I was born under parents who have accumulated wealth that is among the best in the world, and I have an onni who loves me and receives love.

…But I didn’t want it to this extent.

Right now, I’m out with Anna-onni and Hye-sun onni to have a meeting about the LEORE competition event match.

The problem is the limousine and the black cars escorting the limousine. There were at least 10 bodyguards.

Anyone would think the president came out.

“Arang-a, did you have fun in the arena?”

Pinku Berry-onni said, stroking my hair.

“That’s right. Arang-i, I saw the video of you fighting the famous pro Lee Jung-jin!”

Soonchu-onni leaned in with sparkling eyes.

Originally, only Anna-onni and Hye-sun onni needed to be at this meeting, but Anna-onni called Pinku Berry and Soonchu-onni, who are LEORE guild members, to eliminate the awkwardness and discomfort of me going out and to give me a sense of stability like in LEORE.

The effect seems to be definitely there.

It’s reality, but it feels like I’m in LEORE. Moreover, the limousine itself is filled with things related to LEORE, so it feels even more like that.

The difference between LEORE and reality is that my limbs are prosthetic, and my physical abilities are almost non-existent in my real body.

“It was fun… but I didn’t know they would… call me to the competition…”

“That’s because our Arang-i is so strong, they know it too!”

Soonchu-onni hugged me and shook her body in joy, and Anna-onni snatched me from Soonchu-onni’s arms.

“Eh?”

“Arang-i is my younger sister.”

“Euheung~”

“Hayan-onni…”

But if we’re gathered like this right now, I like Pinku Berry more. The reason is simple.

Her breasts are big. The biggest here!

At my words, Anna-onni looked shocked and handed me over to Pinku Berry.

I confidently leaned my head against Pinku Berry’s chest.

It’s not as good as Mead University’s Emma, but Pinku Berry also has a size that isn’t just that of an average Korean.

It has superior performance than most pillows.

“Hehehehe.”

The sound of Pinku Berry-onni’s laughter can be heard from behind. And everyone glared at Pinku Berry-onni.

“If you think about it… I’m the one who’s been with Arang-i the longest here…!”

That’s true.

I only spend 2-3 hours in reality out of 24 hours, and excluding sleep, I spend an average of 16 hours in LEORE, and I’m usually always with Pinku Berry-onni when I’m doing quests or dungeons.

Especially since we started from the low levels in the beginning and played together until the max level, and she was the first friend I made, Pinku Berry-onni feels more like family than a friend.

I’m sorry to Anna-onni, but I spend more time with Pinku Berry-onni than with Anna-onni.

That’s why Anna-onni is taking over company matters and making time to start LEORE.

Listening to her words last time, she said that the handover is almost over, and the day when she can buy an access unit and enjoy LEORE is not far away.

‘It’s generally said that relationships get worse when you play games with family or lovers… especially RPGs…’

Woo-cheol, the manager of the Legacy of Raid competition management team, received a call that Arang-i was almost there and came out of the company, waiting at the entrance while looking at his phone.

“Hmm?”

Woo-cheol, who was reading articles related to LEORE, was taken aback by the huge line of cars in front of him.

“What, what is it? Is there some kind of event going on nearby? Wow, there’s a limousine. Oh, oh?”

As the cars naturally began to enter the company, Woo-cheol quickly searched his memory for any events that were happening at the company today, but there was nothing.

Cars lined up in front of him, and people in huge suits got out of the cars.

‘Bodyguards…?’

The bodyguards opened the door of the most expensive-looking limousine, and women got out of the limousine.

And in the center, a girl in a wheelchair caught Woo-cheol’s eye.

‘User Lee Arang…?’

Woo-cheol, who had watched the WFK achievement video and the arena video several times, recognized Arang-i at once, even though the atmosphere was different.

‘The difference in atmosphere between LEORE and reality is severe. Is she the type to fly around in the virtual world?’

“Arang-nim, welcome. I’d like to greet you again. I’m Woo-cheol, the manager of the Legacy of Raid competition management team.”

Woo-cheol, who had reached the management team of the competition while experiencing numerous things, quickly assessed the situation, composed himself, and bowed as politely as possible.

“Hello… hello…”

“Nice to mee- Heok!?”

Woo-cheol, who raised his head after bowing, saw Anna in front of him and his composure shattered.

“R-Representative Lee Anna!? H-How, h-here, uh, uh?”

Only then did Woo-cheol realize that Anna and Arang had the same surname, and he looked back and forth between the two, recognizing them immediately due to their similar faces.

‘User Lee Arang is, by any chance, Representative Lee Anna’s younger sister!?’

“L-L-Let’s all follow me for now!”

==

“Um… so… this part is like thisㅡ”

Woo-cheol explained the LEORE event competition and the event match as calmly as possible, without leaving out anything and making it as easy to understand as possible.

“So, the mount… if we don’t get it this time, we can’t get it…?”

“Yes. Mounts, titles, and chats are all season-limited for each competition season.”

‘Thank goodness. User Lee Arang is very interested in these things.’

“Arang-a, you want to do it, right?”

“Yeah… I really want to do it… I really want to have a two-person mount…”

“Okay. Thank you for the kind explanation, Woo-cheol-nim.”

“Ah, no! I was honored to be able to explain it.”

==

“Ugh…”

Woo-cheol, who had perfectly matched the send-off, sat down on the lobby floor.

He thought he would just meet a young girl and one of her guardians, her parents, for a simple meeting, but it went completely differently than expected.

User Lee Arang was a playful and cute figure in LEORE, and a user with overwhelming physical abilities that surprised everyone.

But User Lee Arang in reality was somehow gloomy. She was like a student sitting in the back of the classroom, not talking to anyone, aloof.

And the most important thing is…

‘I never thought the head of the Korean branch would come as User Lee Arang’s guardian!?’

The lunch he had before the meeting almost came out.

It’s strange that his mentality isn’t shaken.

Because he doesn’t know what the consequences will be if he makes a mistake.

Even though she’s the head of the Korean branch, she has different powers than the headquarters, but in the end, she’s related to the head of that headquarters.

‘D-Dangerous… my heart hurts… but I succeeded. And this competition will probably… be the best competition.’

Woo-cheol jumped up and clenched his fist.

User Lee Arang’s recognition, the head of the Marsble Korean branch, and two women with celebrity-like appearances.

Woo-cheol, with a brighter smile than ever, moved to explain the events of this meeting to his team members.

‘They definitely said they’d all come together. Then there will definitely be a lot of viewers! If there aren’t any strange accidents…! I’m getting a promotion!’

If nothing happens, that is.
