The Newbie Is Too Strong's
56. Luca and the Eight-Person Party
Luca's party, Areka, and Raia finally arrive at the fledgling village. While waiting for the other five party members, Areka looked around with a nostalgic face. He had not been to the village for long enough.
Not long after, came two among the five people who were waiting.
“Nona, is this really okay? We skipped training for 2 days ahead of our e-sport final?”
“Of course it's okay because we already got permission from the coach.”
“Then, did Miss not see how Senior Asario's face looked at us as if it would eat us alive?”
“Just ignore inflexible people like.”
Sounded from far away the whispers of the two men. He is Lia, the cleric, and Andra, the scout of Team Silver Hero.
Seeing that the rising celebrity's face was randomly before them, even after knowing they were the party members they were waiting for, the upper and lower jaws of Areka and Raia were separated in an astonishing manner.
They still can not believe it to the extent that this is all just a dream to meet a figure who is being hailed in the world of e-sport today. Or maybe they both just look like the celebrity.
“Hai. Lia! Here.” Luca shouted to greet them.
Looking at Luca who was standing while waving his hand, Lia smiled as she waved her hand and immediately ran towards Luca. Andra followed him from behind. They also talked to each other.
Looking closely, Areka and Raia can no longer deny that it is true that they are the ones, two of the Silver Hero Team members who are now famous celebrities newcomers among e-sport fans.
“But what are they doing here? Don't they have an e-sport match next week? Shouldn't they be busy training?”
Areka could not help but wonder in her heart.
Soon, Lia and Andra greeted Areka and Raia in a friendly manner.
“So, the scout member that Lia promised was Kak Andra apparently. Greetings, Brother Andra.” Luca also greeted Andra kindly and Andra greeted him kindly.
“But shouldn't you be busy with your e-sport competition?”
On Luca's question, Areka also listened seriously because it was also what had made him curious.
“Hahahahahaha. Don't worry, dear Luca. Coach gave me permission. Besides here is also part of my training for the preparation of the e-sport race.”
“So.” Luca was only flat and brief against Lia's answer.
Precisely more showing a shocked expression was the person standing next to Luca, Areka.
“So you guys pa pa pa pa pa pa pa...”
“Papa?” Said Luca astonished at the unusual speech of his Senior Areka.
“You guys dating???” Finally revealed what Areka wanted to say.
However, instead of Luca answering, Lia interrupted first while hugging Luca tightly and affectionately. “That's. Luca and I are dating.” Said Lia with her naughty smile.
Hearing that answer, Areka turned her head there and came here, afraid that to the extent that there was someone other than their group who listened to Lia's words. How not, this will certainly immediately shock the virtual world if they come to know the rising celebrity known as the second battle healer angel has a girlfriend.
Contact her boyfriend aka Luca will receive a mob tantrum. Areka could not imagine if it had happened to her innocent junior.
“Partially why they can date? Considering Luca's unique character, he shouldn't be approachable.”
Apparently, the shock of Areka and Raia, did not stop there until the last 3 party members that appeared 2 among 3 of them were very famous NPCs in Gardenia. Their arrival is more interesting than the arrival of Lia and Andra before.
It was of course to see how these two NPCs who were involved in the main story to visit the beginner village. They certainly want to be wondering if their arrival will be related to the main story.
This did not happen to Areka. He became unwilling to wonder if the quest they were going to undergo was a mid-level quest to lower Luca or even a quest for the main story.
“Where does this boy know these important NPC-NPCs?”
Areka was inevitably curious and wondering in her heart.
Not only is Heisel Trakatov famous among them. There were also other NPCs that were no less famous. He was Dimitri Copenhagen, one of the high-ranking intelligence agents of the Symphonia Kingdom located deep in the northwest corner of the continent.
Based on the game brochure The Last Gardenia, Dimitri Copenhagen will play an important role in training the cadets and fighting against the invading zombies from the land of the dead located in the north of the continent.
Areka inevitably wondered what the important figure who should be in the current Symphonia Kingdom was doing in the fledgling village of the neutral Gardenia region.
Leaving Areka's look of disbelief, Luca also stared at the NPCs with a look of disbelief. But his gaze was not on his Uncle, Heisel, or Dimitri, who made Areka stunned, but on the figure of the woman who was among them.
The figure with the body is ouhai, but once it reaches his face, as if betraying the view, his face is very ugly. Luca also called the figure, “Kak Keporin, finally Brother came home too. I miss Big Brother a lot.” Luca said enthusiastically as he ran towards Keporin to shake his hand.
However, more than Areka, Lia seemed more shocked about it. Exceeding the jealousy factor, what Luca said in the past reverberated in his mind,
“Mbak is very beautiful like Sister Keporin.”
That was the first compliment given by Luca to him which until now still ringed as one of the sweetest memories for Lia in his life. However, seeing the face of Keporin that Luca meant, Lia's spirit collapsed.
“Do I have to be happy because Luca likes my face or should be sad because for Luca my face is not that far?”
Lia muttered dissolved in despair.
“No, no. That must be another Keporin, not what Luca meant at the time.”
From despair, Lia turned her mind to rejection.
“Hey, Keporin, can you now remove your mask? It's disgusting to know to see you keep wearing that mask.” Suddenly, Dimitri said to the figure of a well-bodied woman, but the face of the attached mak.
“But great too yeah, you kid. Can recognize Keporin in his disguise like that.”
“Hahahaha. That's of course because Keporin's sister is Keporin.”
Dimitri only sighed listening to Luca's vague response.
Dimitri silently stared at Luca intensely as it was Luca who was the main object of Dimitri's observations who had come all the way to the neutral region of Gardenia as a duty entrusted by the King of Symphonia to him to investigate about some of the oddities that often occur in their world these days, including Luca's swallowing to the sky and his sudden change into a wanderer.
Leaving Dimitri, Keporin finally took off his mask. What was behind the mask turned out to be a beautiful face and peerless beauty that did not betray her body at all.
Seeing that, Lia became excited again. But in an instant he became annoyed that Luca was too close to such a person. However, after Lia realized that she was just an NPC, a computer program and not a real human, Lia breathed a sigh of relief. However, Lia's expression quickly turned tangled again.
“Why was Luca impressed to treat the NPC as if it were alive? Also the NPCs' mutual interaction with Luca was too lively as if they were indeed living humans and had known Luca for a long time. And more importantly, why did they get involved in Luca's exam mission? Did Luca trigger certain conditions so as to get the NPCs' help?”
Lia inevitably became wondering about all of those things, while Andra who had since noticed the unusual change in expression of her young miss, was, finally unable to hold back his worry and he narrowed his eyes to observe the atmosphere around.
