Chapter 138: Is she the best girl?
"Olivia will kill him in a real-life," the boys said in tandem.
Their reaction wasn't weird, considering they all knew Olivia from her middle school days. The famous delinquent girl who led other girls had the whole roof for herself as no one dared to oppose her.
The boys didn't have any encounter with her prior to Alex's sudden reveal that she became his girlfriend. Naturally, they knew about her as she was famous, not daring to step into her territory.
Olivia's infamous deeds were mainly beating those who glared at her with contempt, stealing lunch when she forgot hers, and not attending some classes as she simply couldn't care about them.
Her sharp tongue was also pretty famous.
However, the boys had barely seen the last two famous deeds after Alex had introduced her to them. Of course, it took some time for Olivia to become a good student that would listen to teachers and attend all lessons.
'She also no longer snatched other students' lunches… She snatched ours instead,' the boys said simultaneously as they recalled Olivia's misdeeds.
They still could remember her clinging to Alex the most, though. She cuddled with him on every possible occasion. If they went through the corridor, she would hug his arm wholly. If Alex took out his lunch, Olivia would take his lap and feed him.
But there was something that Olivia stopped doing only after significant progress… "You are dead, Alex. She will fly back and beat your ass."
"Guys…" Alex squinted his eyes, pressing his lips together tightly.
He made that expression when he couldn't believe what his friends or beloved were saying. Of course, he wasn't surprised by their reaction, but how could they think Olivia would even beat him 'seriously'?
He glared at them with incredulous eyes.
The boys reciprocated the stare.
Thus, the staring contest began.
After a while, Alex coughed, "Olivia is fine with the in-game harem. She met other girls already, and they had a lot of fun together… In fact, she became as close as a sister with one girl, an enemy of another, and finds a peculiar lady too cute.
There are other girls too… and…" Alex couldn't bring himself to mention Celia.
Before the boys, it sounded so awkward to call himself a father. If he were to say that he became a father, then their reaction could be only one.
But as he thought about Celia and how happy she was, Alex imagined a scenario where someone would laugh at her for having a 'too young' father. Because of Alex's age, some kids could say that he was not her 'real father'.
That would hurt Celia too much. And he never would want her to stop calling him with affection.
They both shared the same feelings, so Alex mustered his courage, following his principles.
Alex smiled, "And I have a little girl that calls me a father. She's such a sweet and understanding little girl that I could only adopt her. Haha!"
"Haha!" the boys except Pedro laughed out heartily.
Zhen stepped forward, patting Alex's shoulder, "It sounds pretty funny, but I can see you becoming someone's father. You are the most composed guy I have ever met out of all our peers. You sure made the little girl happy and her mother."
He was as positive as usual.
Alex grinned, "We had a lot of nice family time. It was pretty cute when I did math equations with her… and then, I also had many pleasant moments with her mother alone."
Zhen chuckled, "We both have been playing a different game all this time! Hah!"
Josh, the tank, smiled faintly, "Good for you. Our Zhen also had found someone in the game, but it is still one-sided.
Moreover, the system betrayed his feelings, so things turned pretty awkward," Josh patted his friend's shoulder with a sentiment.
The tank of Team Homies was the calmest guy ever. He also had a friendly smile and soothing voice, so Zhen pouted and told Alex a little about his story, "She's the martial artist who gives quests to newbies.
I was one of those newbies, then she said I had a good body for her secret technique… I was too happy to get a quest that I worked really hard for her. Before I noticed, I wanted more than just a technique!
I told her with all my heart that I had been doing all for her… The system told her about my affection, and she turned me down!" Zhen let out tears, but he quickly wiped them off, "Hah! If I master this skill, she will pursue me instead to get a good ride!"
Tomo Homie patted the ground with his staff, "Guys… Aren't we ignoring something more important?!"
Everyone turned at him.
Tomo Homie pointed his staff at Alex, "Olivia allowed him to have a harem in-game! What if she also makes her own?!"
Alex waved his hand, "We talked about it, and she said she is not interested."
Tomo Homie's staff hit the ground as he let it go, "What a girl…"
Josh nodded, "You are lucky, Alex."
Zhen grinned, "After final exams, just fly to her!"
Pedro stared with his usual gray eyes.
Everyone turned their attention to him since they all had voiced their opinions. And knowing Pedro and how pessimistic he could get, Alex knew that he had a lot to say about his legendary class and situation.
Pedro didn't blink, maintaining eye contact.
At last, he turned around and went forward, "Let's go to the dungeon."
Tomo Homie snickered, "You are so cool, Pedro."
Pedro didn't voice out what he had in mind to not hurt Alex's feelings. He had a too gloomy heart with how he was, yet he liked the boys who had accepted him into the group with exactly that kind of personality.
He liked Zhen and Alex the best as they brought the perfect balance to his heart.
"Thanks, Pedro," Alex chuckled, following the boys.
The boys switched to more casual talk.
"Olivia is the best girl, isn't she?"
"Guys… You haven't met other girls yet…"
"No drama, and she also didn't play uno reverso card on Alex. Best girl."
"Card? What ya talking about, Tom?"
"She will play harem card if he neglects her for too long."
"Cool guy. Don't jinx it, okay?"
"Oh, by the way, what was that explosion? Did you take down the rest with some skill combination? Ah, yeah, you did. Otherwise, he wouldn't smile like that."
