Civilization Game

It was almost time for the ball. Lord awoke to the sound of a mysterious alarm he had not set in motion. I tried to hold on to the blanket, but I couldn't stand the noise bombing of the alarm. As he raises his torso, the alarm goes off like a pill.

Lord sits idle for a moment in bed.

"Wow, did I really go to Chaos World? '

Surrounded by the modern environment, I felt strangely lost in reality. A lot of what happened in Eden felt like a dream overnight.

Waking up from a commotion, Rod simply washed out of the bathroom and opened the wardrobe door in the corner of the room.

"Hah..."

The scent of suits that looked very expensive was unfolded. All I could think about was the costumes for the ball. Rod walks out in a less glamorous black suit.

As soon as I left, I heard loud noises and sweet music. Many players were already talking at the hall table. There were even players who were still dressed exactly as they arrived here. They finally went back to their rooms as if they were trying to change into ball outfits.

'Haha, what a lot to say.'

Rod walks down the stairs, extending his base. But I felt good. How long has it been since you slept so well? The fatigue that was piled up on my body seemed to have cleared up. Rod comes down alone and glances around to see if he knows anything.

Johann Latina of Gaia and Scott Julia of Evgenia stand out. The two of them must have been hitting and fighting, but they seemed to have become partners. I heard John's voice.

"Ms. Scott! Come on, get up! Come with me to the stage!"

"Piss off."

Lord looks away and sees the arc surrounded by people. The popularity was different. He was surrounded by people who wanted to ally themselves with him.

"Hiya!"

I felt a finger on my cheek. As Lord glances at you, Chielo stands smiling.

"How are you? I met you sooner than I expected."

Lord grabs her finger and gives her a stern answer.

"I see. A bunch of players..."

"Don't bother. It's a good chance to find an ally, isn't it? From the middle of the Temple, teamwork is more than personal war! You have to meet your allies to survive."

"Yeah, well."

"Oh, who's Rod's partner?"

Lord showed Odin the cards he received. 'Serena Winslett.' It was a name I hardly heard during the Temple.

"Hmmm, it's the Argon player."

"That's the guy you told me to watch out for, right?"

She nods.

"Yes, it is! But this guy, who hasn't shown up in a while and hasn't said a word in the chat window, doesn't know if he's alive or dead."

"I've been stuck on an island all this time."

"Aren't you curious about who he is?"

Chielo glows and asks.

"Yes, but...."

Lord looks suspiciously at her and blurs his tail.

"Crystal! Then go escort the lady!" "

Chielo slapped Lord on his back and said,

"What am I supposed to do...? I don't do waltz."

"Hey, even if you don't dance, it's your partner for now, so it's polite to come and say hello!"

"Why are you so active when it's my partner's job?"

"Let me know if you find out anything about your partner. Hehe."

'…… I knew you were up to it.'

But Lord was also curious, so he decided to look for a partner.

'Where will they be?'

I looked around the hall for about 20 minutes, but I couldn't see her. At this point, it will be okay to assume that no one will come to the ball.

Are you still in your room? If not……. '

Lord steps out of the hall. As I walked along the hallway, I saw the moonlight coming in from the outdoor terrace.

'Usually people come out often who feel burdened with this position.'

Of course, the source of the information was Rod himself.

When I came out, I felt refreshed by the cool night air. I thought it was good to come out. I looked up at the sky and saw the galaxy and the night sky with the stars in it unfolding. I could see that it was a different world from Earth just from the night sky. The stars were so many and bright, I could feel my eyes getting tired just looking at them for a moment. In the middle of the night, it was easy to see the surroundings without the need for light.

Rod puts his hand in his pocket and takes a leisurely stroll through the outdoor terrace.

'Ah.'

And I found it.

I saw a white, gray-haired woman behind me. She leans against the ledge of the terrace and falls into remission.

"Hello? Are you Serena?"

She turns her head.

A blood-red foe stares at the road, darker than Unibell's crimson eyes. His eyes were creepy for some reason. My body is stiff as if I were looking into Medusa's mythological eyes.

"……."

She nods once. It seemed to be the answer to the question before. Rod is finally a little relaxed.

"… Hahaha, hello. It's called Rod Polentia, who became a partner."

She turns her head and looks up at the night sky, nodding once more.

Lord only gives her time to look after her. A pale, blood-red foe with chest pains. One punch, ideally placed neck gear, and a big, hunchy figure for a woman. However, these physical characteristics were not noticed because of her peculiar atmosphere. She has a unique atmosphere that is hard to define. Distance. In the beginning, I felt such a strange sense of distance, as if the 'dimension' was a different being.

But it rather aroused The Road's curiosity. A player who has been stuck on an island and is silent with no activity. What's her personality? What's he thinking? Planets on Earth were also very few known figures. Rod opens his mouth again.

"The ball has begun... Would you like to go back alone?" "

She shakes her head. I was only responding to the very least of the questions. Suddenly, you seem to be bothering the road that's interfering with your time.

'Well, then let's appeal to make it interesting.'

Lord thinks for a moment and opens his mouth.

"I chose Argon in the second pick."

She looks at the rod, slowly moving her red eyes. He seemed to have succeeded in buying interest.

"I was surprised. I can't believe there was someone else who wanted to take Argon to the 2nd pick... The player had the same plan as me. The direction of development is' Dragon Mastery ', and national operations are focused on development with geographic advantages stuck on the island. I felt like I was looking in a mirror."

Rod crosses his arms and takes a slow walk around the terrace. Every time he moved, her gaze also moved together.

"Of course, the oceanic nation next door, Daidalus, is a nuisance to progress. I was thinking of bringing Guyana Evgenia in deliberately and taking them down, but Gaia caught Daidalus. I was surprised again that it was flowing so much like my ideals. If my thoughts continue to be correct...."

Lord stops walking and looks back at her.

"You must be going through the Cultural Age now. Right?"

"……."

Operating in an extreme era of military advancement after eliminating nearby threats. Lord thought it must be. As she stares at Lord's face, she steps lightly down the obstacle. Then I motioned with my fingers. It was a gesture to follow.

'Success.'

Lord follows behind her with a smile.

The two of them came back into the building and climbed the stairs. It was replicating the Earth's facilities, but there was nothing like an indoor pool, gym, sauna, etc. The two of them entered an empty room on the second floor.

The dark lights reminded me of the bar. There was no one inside, but various drinks and drinks were set.

She encouraged me to sit down. As Lord sat on the chair, a faint candle appeared from the candle on the table. I was briefly curious about how it works.

"Anything to drink?"

It was her first word.

"Anything's fine."

She pulls a luxuriously shaped red wine from the shelf. I picked up salad and cheese canapés from the dishes cooked and brought them to the table.

She stands beside Lord and catches the wine bottle. I felt godliness beyond seriousness. She removes the cork plug with a soft hand and brings it close to her nose. After smelling the wine, she nods slightly and lowers her cork. Then he grabbed the bottle again and slowly lowered the angle of the bottle on the glass. A colorful red wine pours into the glass.

When the glass was a little full, she raised the glass and put it back on the table. Is it done? Lord took the Cup.

"That's Decanter."

She said, "The jargon popped out and I was embarrassed, but leave it alone. 'Lord quickly put the cup out of his hand.

She holds a bottle of wine in one hand and a new glass in the other. Then he lowered his cup, slowly turning it with one hand, and poured the wine. A thick, red liquid flows from her eyes and sweeps across all sides of the glass, filling her insides.

"Why are you spinning the cup like that?"

Lord asked.

"This makes it easier to smell."

She pours the wine into Lord's cup and pours it into herself.

Suddenly, I felt like I was in a high-end restaurant. Lord nods at her, thanking her, and raises a glass of wine. Indeed, I only tilted my arm slightly, but the rich aroma of wine spread to the tip of my nose. Lord takes the wine to his mouth.

"……!"

Flavors of fruits fill my mouth. After that, a refined chasm flowed through the body. It turns out that Rod, who doesn't know much about wine, is quite remarkable.

Serena, sitting across the street, closed her eyes and tasted the wine. Lord slowly lowers the glass of wine onto the table so that her luck does not break.

"So, why did you bring me here?"

She glances back at the rumbling wine, shaking her glass. And he said,

"Partners," he said. "

"…… I see."

Lord takes another sip of wine. I couldn't think of anything to talk about when I ran into him. The awkward atmosphere had to be created, but strangely comfortable. Sometimes the silence is too awkward and sometimes comfortable, and perhaps the drink with her was the latter. Then she slowly rises to her feet.

"Want to play a game?"

The game is still here...... It's a little awkward, but Lord nods. The challenge was my belief as a game-breaker.

She heads to a place full of board games on the corner shelf. It was an era dominated by virtual reality games, but sometimes those analog styles were not so bad. Chess was good, and Lord especially wanted to play GO. I heard she's from France. Do you know GO?

"With this."

She brings the game in the box and puts it on the table.

'Burumable.'

Lord pours wine.

"Cough! Cough! What's with the boomerangs all of a sudden?"

It's a board game for kids with all kinds of fancy atmosphere! What am I supposed to do with all this creepy weirdness?

"…… this game, you know?"

"Of course I do! So you didn't know what game you were playing? Why did you choose this?"

She points to a picture of a spaceship painted on a game wrapper.

"The spacecraft looks interesting."

"Of course!"

She sits on the chair, ignoring Lord's protest, and takes off the game case. Oh, my God, he was really going to do it. You came all the way out here to see the Burumables! If Chielo had known, he would have grabbed her and giggled and laughed.

She picks up the dice and fake bills and looks around and says,

"Rule, teach me."

"…… Haaaa."

I had a feeling it was going to be a strange night.
