Realizing that I was a beta tester after seeing me start and dashing without any hesitation, Cline ran over. “Hey, teach me a few things!” he’d begged. I wondered how he could be so shameless and demanding to a person he hadn't met before. Being so lost for words that it was almost amazement. “Ah, er, then…why don’t we go to the weapon shop?” I answered like some NPC; we then ended up making a party, and I began teaching him some basics of fighting—and that’s how we ended up in this current situation. To tell the truth, I didn’t get along with people in real life or in games, perhaps even less so than in real life. During beta testing, I came to know a couple of people, but I didn’t get close enough to anyone to actually call them a friend. But Cline had a side to him that grows on you, and I didn’t find this uncomfortable either. Thinking that I might be able to get along with him, I opened my mouth. “So…what do you want to do? Do you want to keep hunting till you get used to it?” “Sure! …is what I want to say, but…” Cline’s delicate eyes looked at the bottom right of his vision. He must have been checking the time. “…well, I should log off and eat. I ordered some pizza for 5:30.” “Pretty thorough.”
