The Metal Military Academy
Chapter 69: V-Idol and the Proximity of Rafa

“Friends, thank you for supporting Nancy-chan here. I love you guys!”

Rafa enthusiastically shows a virtual concert recording of one of the members of the group V-Idol he likes the most.

V-Idol, or Virtual Idol, is an internet celebrity with anime avatars who often create content in the form of entertainment things, such as acting, singing, talk shows, even playing games.

V-Idol itself has recently become popular in Ranjaya Country, and Rafa is one of the big fans of V-Idol. Not all V-Idol Rafa likes, but the character named Nancy-chan is what attracts the attention of the tall-muscular young man.

“You see?! At her 3D premiere concert, Nancy-chan was charming. She was very good at dancing, her voice was like the singing of the angels of heaven, and her model was very beautiful and cute. My heart is made by Nancy-chan.... Oh, ooh! And blablablablablabla.

Rafa continues to talk about Nancy-chan so passionately to Ardan and the others that they are made bete with Rafa himself.

Yes, they bete and tired of hearing all Rafa bacotan after realizing that the girl Rafa likes is a virtual character. Not entirely virtual because behind the V-Idol avatar there are certainly real people who fill the character, but still the most Rafa likes is the form of his avatar model.

As brothers, Ardan and Nadia did not expect that Rafa likes the same things like this. What does stress not count?

“.... And, yeah! She just debuted as V-Idol at the age of 14.”

Spontaneous Damar who was drinking orange juice suddenly scattered him when he realized that V-Idol who Rafa likes is still a boy.

Indeed, the age of the youngest idol is often in the age range of 13-14 years, but is healthy a man as big as Rafa demen same boy even though only a virtual character?

“But! Dah wibu, pulak pedo,” taunted Ardan horrified.

“Ish, can not be called pedo anyway. My age with Nancy-chan is only 5 taon different,” elak Rafa.

“But, he's not yet legal, Cok..!”.

“Nothing, really. Age is just a number. Abah same mom only different 6 taon.” Rafa starts asking for a defense from Nadia, “Don't you, Nad?”

“I-iya really, sih.” Nadia scratched her nape awkwardly. “But, Abah mikahin Emak after the age of the mother is already legal. And Mom is a real girl, not a virtual character.”

Rafa kicep's. He who is known as a circus and likes to debate this time lost the debate about this kayak.

“Fuh! That's the age of the real guy no, anyway?” asked Damar while wiping the rest of his drink spray on his lips.

“Not knowing, anyway,” replied Ardan casually. “As far as I know, the age that the V-Idol appoints is the age of their anime avatars. If the age of real people who fill their characters can be much older, there are even up to ‘dah married and have children.”

When Ardan realized his own answer, the look in his eyes looked ignorant glancing at Rafa.

“Hey, you like this Nancy-chan character, right? We ourselves do not know the character of Nancy-chan is the original begimane.” Ardan began to tease Rafa, “How if for example the character of Nancy-chan is a young mama-mama who already has a husband ‘ma son?” Then he lowered his eyebrows.

Unknowingly Rafa gulped his own saliva. In fact, this is what makes V-Idol fans like their own dilemma. They realize that the V-Idol they like is an unreal anime avatar filled by people with secret identities. But, when knowing the V-Idol they like does not match expectations as shown from the character of the anime avatar version, it is like that including the feared.

Okay. Rafa is still self-conscious that she should not be overdone, and hopes that Nancy-chan's character in the real world matches her avatar version. But, imagining the original character according to Ardan's description somehow made him awkward.

It is not possible to ‘kan Rafa who often thinks logically even infected with pestilence? He was quite uncomfortable with mental illness semi-psychopaths derived from his father's family, even plus virtual characters as well.

The more complete the mental disorder that Rafa suffered.

“Yaa.... Biarin, lah,” denied Rafa was a bit awkward because he was not sure of his own answer. “I ‘kan just demen the same avatar, not the original person. If the original person is old and even married, that's his business. We as fans quite enjoy and support the content he created.”

“Yakin...??” Ardan is becoming. “If you like the same character, voice, and how to dance, it means unconsciously like the original as well, right???”

Rafa smiled, but his smile seemed very unfriendly. “And.... Don't try to find the same thing with me. You don't want me to go in the scythe again into your esophagus, do you...? This time, I'll make sure it gets to the gut.”

Sontak Ardan turned away, starting to hesitate when given a threat by Rafa. Just sorry. Yesterday's incident when the Rafa scythe went into his throat was already horrifying, especially to penetrate the intestine.

And again, Rafa's threat is no joke. If he is too angry with someone, whether it is a stranger or who he knows himself, he will surely end with sadism.

Chrysanthemum saw a video recording of Nancy-chan playing the game while greeting the audience on Rafa's phone that had been lying at the table. His blue eyes narrowed confusedly, a bit strange because he felt the movement of this person's model was too foreign according to him.

“She's so cute, yeah. Maybe the effect of the camera filter, so the movement of the tone is like a cartoon so.” Chrysanthemum asked Rafa with an innocent expression as usual. “Your boyfriend, Senior Rafa?”

“Hah?”

“Eh?”

“Huh?”

Ardan, Nadia, and Damar were astonished by Chrysanthemum's guess. The Chrysanthemum period can not distinguish the name of the real person the same graphic anime to the extent that it is mistaken for Rafa's girlfriend?

It seems, Chrysanthemum does need to be given more insight about technology and city life so as not to be mistaken and cluttered. Understand, the village.

All of them, except Chrysanthemum, are increasingly confused by Rafa's unusual behavior. Indeed, if you have brought his favorite V-Idol, Rafa behavior so does not look like his usual self.

Ardan had nudged Chrysanthemum's hand on the table. “You're making him even more upset, Chrysanthemum Deck. Difficult to do mental.”

“Means?” tanya Chrysan has not been connected as usual.

At that moment, Rafa's phone suddenly rang, indicating there was an incoming call. Rafa again acted calmer, grabbed his phone from the table, then read the name on the phone screen.

“Siape? Don't tell me from Nancy-chan’mu,” led Ardan fad. Though already given the threat, still desperate to tease his cousin.

“Ngarepnya is it.”

“So...” Ardan did not think that Rafa hoped so.

Rafa continued calmly, “But unfortunately, from Senior Miranda, nih.”

“Senior Miranda?” Nadia seemed to show an expression of dislike when Miranda's name was alluded to. “Do he call you, Bang?” Then he had time to drink ice tea to calm the annoyance that almost exploded.

“Entah. May want to talk about our guidance group.” Rafa started to move off the bench. “I'm staying tight, yes.” Then he moved away while picking up a phone call from the senior from Level 3.

After Rafa's death, Ardan began to invite them to come closer to each other, to whisper. Chrysanthemums who were about to return to bribe fried rice instead pulled Nadia to come to discuss with them.

For whatever sake it is, can Chrysanthemums be left to eat peacefully?

“Si Senior Miranda likes very close with Rafa,” said Ardan seriously started their discussion of the struggle.

“Maybe because they are a team to guide the juniors,” said Damar trying to think positively.

“Actually, Mar, not just fitting this Orientation Event they are close. If we are still at Level 1, they are familiar too. Often give attention to Rafa, kayak give food, ask around for news. Even if Rafa needs materials to learn, Senior Miranda who loves. In fact, Rafa is not a nolep who has a number of finger count friends, many connections he. But not yet anything, Senior Miranda's giving help first,” julid Ardan at length, he had to drink iced tea first because his mouth began to dry mostly talking.

“Ish! Males ‘lah if Senior Miranda must be the same as Bang Rafa,” said Nadia bete to thump lips.

“Emang why, Nad?” ask Damar to the gebetan. “No harm ‘kan if he is close with girls? If he is close to a guy, then you need to worry.”

“Iya, anyway.” Nadia was holding her face up on the table. “But, as a grandpa who has two handsome brothers, I ‘tuh ‘dah ngerti gelagat girls who want to be the same Bang Ardan or Bang Rafa. I'm not comfortable with them, they want..”.

“Maybe that's one of the reasons why you're too picky looking for girlfriends,” Ardan responded.

“That's because I've been trying to keep you away from the fussy girls ever since I broke up with Tiana and her friends. You two are ‘kan sakep, nice body, strong, tajir twisting.”

“Trint.” Damar.

“I-iya! That, Mas.” Nadia continued, “Makanya, the first time known by Senior Miranda in the city square when we happened to meet at the costume festival, Bang, I did not like girls.”

“So much attention-grabbing look Bang Rafa. Like, ‘You've eaten, belom?’, ‘You're tired, ’?‘, <TAG1>Weather is hot, nich. I bought’in drink, yes?’, ‘Duty yesterday made dizzy, not? Later material Level 1 minjem mine ajah.’,” said Nadia while mimicking Miranda's words that she remembered with a sneering tone. “Devil, jenglot armpits! Bang Rafa was given attention, while I, his brother, who had been dehydrated to hallucination was not offered a drink. Looks very caper! Mana had sniffed the muscular arms of Bang Rafa as well. Hiii...” Nadia shakes disco remembering it.

Damar giggled to see Nadia nagging. When angry, Nadia looks even more funny.

“About, Nad, Rafa is there a possibility of pedekate not the same as Senior Miranda?” tanya Ardan began to nosy as usual, like to make people sprain.

Nadia again shakes in horror. “For God's sake, Bang! Ampe I silahturahmi same God in the afterlife, I will not be willing Bang Rafa to be the same Senior Miranda.”

“Lah...? This ‘kan only possibility...” Ardan is stirring ice tea. “If I, anyway, okay Rafa wants to be the same who. Besides, the only one who looks like a caper is Senior Miranda, right? Rafa even looks normal like he interacts with other girl friends, such as Sheena ‘lah, Chrysanthemum ‘lah. No baper.”

“Udahlah, Nad. Don't be too thoughtful. About your brother's soul mate, let God who ngatur. It is still a good thing that our relationship is still wild even though sometimes he pranks our countries. When you get angry that Rafa is close to another girl?” damar's advice is sincere.

Both of Nadia's shoulders decreased, feeling lethargic when advised so. “I-iya, anyway. But who is the same. Just don't be the same Senior Miranda or the girls who like the same odd Bang Rafa. I ‘tuh want Bang Rafa close to the girl who is sincere with her, not her mode, not nervous, and still care about each other.”

Damar and Ardan understood. As a sister, of course Nadia is worried that Rafa will be close to a woman who is not right.

There have been many girls who try to be close to Rafa, and they are all gatel girls who are interested in Rafa just because of his seductive physique, genius, and their family wealth.

In a wistful manner, Nadia felt her shoulders on the smooth pat from behind. Apparently, the Chrysanthemum that patted him, trying to calm Nadia from the anxiety of thinking about the soul mate of the brother.

“We wish you all the best.”

Nadia smiled, and so did Damar and Ardan. If Nadia wants the best for Rafa, of course she must pray that Rafa gets someone who is really sincere with him.

After all, their life journey was still long. They must remain focused on education so that their ideals to become great soldiers can be achieved.
