247. Red Crow Falls

Red Crows POV.

-

Its over.

I was lying on the ground and Yuu, the target of the murder, was standing. His victory was clear.

..

Many times I stood up and put everything I had into killing Yuu , but not once did my blade reach him.

Even though I was objectively better at taijutsu and VR aptitude, which was not my skill, he was still better at it Its a little disappointing.

I wonder if his unfamiliar skills, along with his unusually high PS (player skills), memory, and processing power, are the secrets of his win.

I was always put on the back foot, and even if I forced myself to go on the offensive as a comeback, I would be counter-attacked heavily.

To be honest, all the skills he has and the way he handles pisses me off and I cant do anything.

How are you? Satisfied?

satisfied with ?

Is that the word that the winner throws at me, the loser? and ask me if Im satisfied?

If thats the case, then his personality is not good, but I cant blame him for that.

Isnt it fun to compete with all your might?

He bends down and looks into my eyes through the broken plague mask, and his words take my breath away.

PK is one of the ways to have fun, but I think the real thrill of a game is the surprise, the discovery, the excitement of winning, and the frustration of losing.

So, you know, as a gamer, Id be happier if you felt frustrated that you couldnt win even though you gave it your all,, rather than just killing your target and calling it a day. The boring thing

Yes, maybe I certainly enjoyed PvP with this person in some sections.

I didnt realize it myself, but I was playing this game as a means to an end, as if I was being driven by something, and for the first time I felt like I could play from the bottom of my heart.

I too was disappointed to lose to you, but next time Im going to get back at you with the best equipment and skills!

That girl was named Maria, as I recall, this girl is not holding a grudge for almost being killed by me.

I dont know why he was so compassionate to me after I attacked him and set up a PK, but I was sure he was comfortable with it.

Look, Maria says this too Gamers will be happy to exaggerate the winner, while the loser will be heartily disappointed and sharpen their skills for another try. The winner is the one who looks forward to the losers second challenge Its just a matter of opinion.

The tone in Yuus voice is so gentle that it reminds me of my brother who died in the lower levels of the game.

He said, Whether youre a serious player or an enjoyer youve got to have fun with the game, otherwise its a waste.

While talking about his theory in a slightly cool way, Yuus eyes reach out to me the red and black eyes that I couldnt see behind his bangs.

These two colors, the only two colors I can identify, looked irrepressibly beautiful to me than any other two colors I have ever seen.

red, and black.

What? Oh, this? Im born with this, but in a game, its not that noticeable as a character creation, so I left it at that.

You should cut your bangs because theyre too distracting to look at in the first place.

Well, no, its just that Ive been with my body for sixteen years, and Im no longer comfortable without my bangs.

Oh, I see Is he like me? A person who was born with strange eyes? Its strange because as soon as I recognize it, I feel a sense of familiarity.

Thinking about that, I raised my arm and tried to grab my stretched hand just before I stopped moving.

Whats wrong?.

I thought you were done commenting on the stinky things on my bangs.

No, thats not true!

What is this beating in my chest Why is my heart, which should have calmed down, raging so wildly?

Why is my face so hot, even though I am wearing a cooling mask, even though my surroundings are still covered in ice from Yuus skill?.

For some reason, Im too embarrassed to look at Yuus face , even though I couldnt identify him anyway.

Oh, what? A Friend request?

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

For now, Ill put my own disorder aside and send a friend request to Yuu in order to fool the hand that stopped me just before.

I was a little nervous because this was the first time I had ever registered as a friend with anyone other than a boy I had known since childhood.

I asked him, Do you mind if I challenge you again ?

Of course I dont mind, but Oh, dont get me wrong this time! If youre a friend, youll see a landmark icon above your head, and make sure you check it out!

got it.

Its good, Ill see you again but now that Ive got a chance to get revenge, theres no reason to stay here anymore.

At the very least, the next time we fight, I must study our fights and tactics. So that Yuu can respond to the skills that Yuu has been performing in the fight just now.

Ill have to watch the recording of the fight at over and over again.

So, Im going to go now.Ive caused you trouble.

Oh, yeah see you again !

hey, what about me?

As it was, I decided to slice open my own throat and respawn to shake off the embarrassment of being unidentified

Im the only one who hasnt received a friend request?

Maria, you see, because you lost?

Maria has a powerful rival (physical)?

Ive been followed on Twitter by an account claiming to be my fan, but I wonder who else besides me is a novelist whose own fan has appeared.
