Serena had grown to be twenty years old but for the first time found that she was an alien––

From the Planet of Turtles >o<

For aliens from the Planet of Turtles, whenever they encounter anything, they'll shrink back. Living example: her. Another two days had passed and she still hadn't gone online!!!

......

......

She definitely was possessed by aliens from the Planet of Awkwardness ==

Ugh~~~

Rationally, she already knew what she thought and felt. She should rush into the game and try everything possible, up to and including trickery and seduction, to get Master into settling down together, especially since she hadn't married and Master hadn't either, there were no problems there. (Serena knew very early on that Master was single. First, he was called by Brock and the others as the "Eternal bachelor". Secondly, Serena had asked him straight-up before they got married. She didn't have any nefarious purposes in asking. It was just that Serena always tried to act as honourably as possible from when she was little. Even for a "marriage" that only mattered in a game, she still didn't want to get entangled up with somebody with a girlfriend or married.)

But, she just procrastinated and didn't go online, but did some strange things. For example, replaying the words Master said in the video......

Serena frightened herself with her weird actions, but she thought it through and found her reason –– first time in love. Doing weird things was normal. Not doing weird things was abnormal in this case.

>_<

So, she kept being strange. She would wake up everyday and swear to herself that she will definitely go online today. But before going to sleep at night, she would release herself from the promise and think that going online tomorrow still worked......

After repeating for two days, she couldn't stand herself anymore and set a resolution!

Saturday!

Saturday was exam day for Level Six exams. Immediately after she will go online!

Serena had planned it out very well but if things always went according to plan, it wouldn't be called life. On Friday afternoon, an unexpected phonecall beat Serena out of her shell.

It went to the dorm phone. First it was May who received it and turned it over to Serena. The other side formally asked her: "Is this Miss Serena Yvonne?"

"Yes. This is?"

"Good afternoon, Miss Yvonne. This is Stone Corporation Dreams of Pokemon Operations Department ......"

Afterwards, Serena was hit by the first free meat pastry to create a concussion of golden $$.

The other side said, the high-level management of the company accidentally saw the video she had made and thought it was very well done and emotionally moving. They wanted to use it as a promotional video. Additionally, they wanted to develop in the game a system of bride kidnapping. Due to those reasons, they wanted to buy the copyright of the video.

Serena held the phone. While surprise and excited, she still held her rationality and try to decided if it was true. It probably was. There was no benefit to trick people with this. The company knowing how to contact her wasn't strange. To avoid getting her number stolen, all the information she had entered into the account had been true.

After the person had finished, Serena suppressed her excitement and answered slowly; "Can I wait to give you an answer? The video wasn't done just by me alone, I want to ask the opinion of my friends."

Hanging up, Serena eagerly opened up and logged in. Upon arrival, her friends list was bouncing rapidly. Click, click, click. She opened them one by one. It was greetings and questions from her friends in the days she hadn't been online. After clicking about ten, she suddenly stopped.

The last message, was from Satoshi.

The time was just before, almost exactly when she went online. The message had only a few words.

"Serena, come over to me."

If she used the couple technique "Together in Life and Death," she could teleport instantly over to his side. But Serena looked at the message and didn't move. Her excitement started to cool and Serena started to feel nervous.

At this time another "ding" sounded as a new message arrived. Serena opened it with even more nervousness. Looking at the sender, she sighed in relief. It wasn't Satoshi, but Brock.

Brock: "Third Sister-in-law, I let you down, kill me for it!"

His message was much easier to reply to. Serena instantly replied: "What happened?"

Brock sent a painfully crying expression: "That day after dinner I was driving. We got in an accident!"

Serena's heart tightened. Accident! Her heart beat furiously and her face pales. After a few seconds, she managed to organize her thoughts. They were able to go online, so it probably wasn't that serious. Even so, Serena's heartbeat still increased. After a while she replied: "Are you guys okay?"

"We're fine, we hit a tree. Third Brother was in the passenger seat and got the blunt of it. He was just unconscious for a few hours, woke up around midnight!"

Serena furiously replied with exclamation marks: "!!!!!"

What was just unconscious for a few hours? Brock you have the head of a pig!

Now she didn't have any misgivings left, using the technique to teleport to Satoshi's side.

Satoshi was standing alone on the peak of Sunset Mountains.

Serena had no interest in how the sunset and the white-clothed musician made a beautiful portrait. She rapidly typed: "Why are you still playing? You should be resting."

Satoshi seemed to pause. After a while he replied: "It's fine now."

"......but you still can't be playing. It wastes concentration."

"Didn't play, just had it open."

Just had it open ......

Then why was he able to send a message immediately when she went online? Serena wanted to refute his words, but for some reason, couldn't say it. She only asked: "Are you still dizzy?"

"No." Satoshi said, "Sorry, I missed our match."

"That's a minor thing––"

Compared to a car accident, it wasn't even worth a mention.

Still on the topic of the PK Tournament, Serena suddenly remembered that she hadn't gone online for a few days. Satoshi wouldn't misunderstand and think that she was angry, would he? Ugh, she absolutely had not been, but the reason for being offline ......

Serena timidly tried to cover up: "I'm going to have an exam soon, so I haven't been online the last few days."

Satoshi stood silently and considered. He said: "I know."

In front of the computer, Serena's face instantly started blushing.

You know ~~

You don't have to 'know'!

Serena silently thought as she looked at the musician's silhouette. Her heart was sour and sweet in turns. After a while she felt that Satoshi's three short word seemed to encompass unlimited meanings ...... in one moment, her heart was full of different feelings, including joy at reuniting and finding what had been lost.

Barely controlling the changes in her emotions, Serena finally remembered why she was online. She quickly narrated how Stone Corporation wanted to buy the copyright to Satoshi who listened quietly. After she finished, he said: "This thing is a bit complicated."

"Ah, really?" Complicated? Serena was a bit confused.

"Yes." A simple but strong answer. Then Satoshi directly said, "Let's meet up."
