Chapter 370 Wrong Choice? (1/2)

Boom! Although she didn't exert her full power, it was still enough to throw Rhode against the wall. Rhode fell into a daze. He stumbled as he tried to stand up, but he soon regained clarity. Then, a soft, pleasant voice echoed in the room.

”Mini Bubblegum, you've got to fix the problem of attacking without looking at the target. That's not a pervert. That's leader.”

”Eh?!”

A little girl screamed in surprise. She stared at him in disbelief as if she was looking at something weird.

”He is our leader? Big sister, don't lie to me! Isn't leader muscular?”

When Rhode heard what she said, his mouth couldn't help but twitch in annoyance. Rhode avoided attending the guild meet-up sessions for this exact reason. But now he couldn't avoid it any longer…

”That's the appearance of leader's avatar in the game…”

The red-haired girl crossed her arms and stared at Rhode with a gentle smile.

”… but as much as I would like to catch up with you, leader, at least give us some clothes first.”

”… Of course.”

Rhode sighed inwardly and replied her half-heartedly. Then he reached out into his spatial bag, grabbed several clothes and tossed it towards the two girls. After a while, two slim figures wrapped in cloaks reappeared in front of him.

Canary was calm and steady as ever. Her long, wine-red colored hair complimented her pretty face and pink lips perfectly.

That was her unique charm. She seemed to have a 'passive ability' to calm people down. Back in the days, whenever she was around, somehow, nearby players wouldn't get upset no matter how difficult the dungeon was. She was kind, gentle and once the dream girlfriend of many male players in the guild. Unfortunately, no one succeeded in winning her affection.

Except for Rhode.

The little girl who stood beside Canary was Mini Bubblegum. She appeared to be a fourteen-year-old and had a personality totally opposite of Canary. Her jet black hair was tied in a long twin-tail, portraying her as a lively and energetic young girl.

”Ehhh….. so this is how the leader looks like? It's my first time seeing him. Big Sister, have you met leader in person before?

”Of course.”

Canary nodded slowly. Then she turned around and smiled at Rhode, continuing, ”He's my senior. We attended the same high school, but by the time I enrolled, he had already graduated. We met on a school alumni reunion dinner.”

Rhode smiled when he heard Canary's brief but nostalgic recital of his life. In fact, the meeting between them was far more dramatic than what she had said.

It was the school's 60th-anniversary celebration; coincidentally, it was also Canary's freshman year. As an alumnus, Rhode came to attend the party. During it, he heard from his junior that there was a freshman who was skillful in Dragon Soul Continent.

Rhode was looking for potential guild members at that time, so met up with that freshman and asked for a PK duel to test her skill. Coincidentally, Canary was actually a Starlight guild member, but since did not know Rhode's appearance in real life, she took on Rhode's challenge. And when they logged in and reached the designated place… well, that was the end of that story and a beginning of a new chapter.

Her personality was rather unusual. Rhode's first s*x with her was during her freshman summer vacation.

(ED: Woah, that escalated quickly…)

Canary was a hardworking, intelligent and studious girl. Back in junior high, she was the top student in her province, so it wasn't surprising that she held the top position in her class in high school. However, with intelligence comes fame, and fame fuels jealousy. The competition between the top few students became incredibly intense, so some students decided to gang up and trick her, leading to her failing the first year exam. Such a result was a great shock to her, and when Rhode came to know of this, he began to comfort her. A male and a female started to drink in a room; hey drank and talked and somehow ended up in bed…

After that night, Rhode felt like he made a terrible mistake. After all, Canary was still a freshman and was a top student at a renowned school to boot. However, Canary didn't seem to mind at all. She didn't cry, nor did she ask him to take responsibility by asking him to be her boyfriend. Instead, she acted as though everything was the same as before. Though that's not entirely true… because from that moment on, whenever she had a problem, she would invite him out.

It seemed like for her to spend an 'intimate' night with him was a way to relieve stress. And as for Rhode, it was like home delivery. There was no reason for him to refuse, so he never rejected her invitation.
