"Itsuka-kun..."
Umaru Doma walked over with a frown and a light wrinkle, as if blaming Shido for rejecting her friend request.
Shido sighed. In fact, he wanted the other party to spare him the trouble of making him meet new girls.
The rejection was just to show his attitude, but it did not make much of a difference. Umaru would have spoken to him anyway.
Umaru was undoubtedly a very cute girl, and with her unique gentle temperament, she was definitely a goddess for the boys.
Although there were a lot of girls who could compare with her, her golden aura and gentle personality could still make herself a unique candidate to be the Queen of the class, just like Yumiko Miura.
And such a beautiful girl took the initiative to talk Shido, which made people have to wonder about the relationship between the two.
However, Shido could be sure that it didn't matter. He only met the other party in the game center a couple days earlier, but at that time the other party was in UMR form, and he pretended not to recognize her.
Therefore, he did not understand the reason for her to talk to him.
Moreover, Shido knew that the current perfection was not the true character of the blonde girl. She would turn into a "dried-fish little sister" the moment she got home.
Therefore, the other party may be scolding him in her heart!
"Can I sit down?"
Umaru asked gently. It seemed that Shido could see the other person's hair sparkling.
"Of course!"
Shido nodded, since the dining hall was not his, so naturally there was no way he could refuse the other party to sit down.
"So, why did Itsuka-kun reject me?"
Umaru asked pitifully. Her appearance attracted everyone's attention, and everyone was curious about what the refusal in her mouth was.
"Reject you?"
Shido played dumb and asked.
"Friend request in the game!"
Umaru replied softly, and her response also dissuaded some people, and gradually no one paid attention to their conversation.
"Was that Doma-san just now? Sorry! I thought it was a random player..."
Shido said in a low voice.
In fact, such mobile games generally have two ways to add friends: One was to directly invite others by entering someone's name, and the other is to select unfamiliar friends from a random list.
Shido pretended to be the latter.
"Is that so?"
Umaru tilted his head. Indeed, it made sense if Shido didn't know she was UMR, and when they met last time, she didn't introduce herself either. Maybe Shido didn't know her in that UMR form.
"Then I will send the friend request again! After all, not many people play this game in school, I hope I can play with Itsuka-kun!"
Umaru smiled softly. It was really hard for Shido to refuse her like this.
Well, becoming friends in a game shouldn't be a big deal. They would just be doing missions together, maintaining a team or something.
So, he nodded and agreed:
"For sure!"
Umaru quickly invited him again. This time, Shido naturally did not refuse. He hoped that the other party would be satisfied and let it go.
But Umaru still seemed to be curious about Shido, and she asked again:
"Does Itsuka-kun like Miku?"
"Yes!"
Shido nodded. He knew that when she asked about Miku, she did not mean his girlfriend, but the vocaloid, Miku Hatsune.
Naturally, a lot of people were fans of the celebrated virtual singer. But for Shido, he still preferred Miku Izayoi.
Umaru opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she held back. Even though she was a big fan of Miku Hatsune and had liked her for many years, such a "nerdy" interest was inconvenient for her to be exposed to others.
Playing mobile games was not so otaku for her, therefore, she had no problem letting others know about it.
Umaru was silent for a while. Seeing that Shido obediently accepted her friend request, she couldn't help smiling. But then she saw something and couldn't help asking:
"Itsuka-kun, how much did you whale for this game?"
"Not much, about a thousand dollars?"
Shido frowned, not quite sure...
"A thousand dollars!?"
Umaru looked at Shido in disbelief. Could it be that Shido was actually really rich? She has been playing this game for a long time, yet she only spent about one hundred dollars, not to mention that it took her a lot of time and effort to beg her big brother for it.
Shido smiled and did not explain much. Although the money was not a small amount, it was not too much for him. Well, it was just about the amount that he would earn by copying one more chapter of the novel.
Moreover, he planned on selling this account by the time he got bored of it. It should be quite valuable.
Umaru decided that when she got back home tonight, she must beg her brother for more allowance!
Umaru looked a little enviously at the cards that Shido hung out. They were all quite rare cards, and they were all awakened, which meant that he had drawn more than one card. This was an achievement that only high cultivators could accomplish.
At this time, Umaru recalled what happened last week. The secret stunts that Shido pulled, being able to catch dolls with the power of money, really opened her eyes and she was more certain that Shido must be filthy rich or something!
And thinking about what happened last week, Umaru couldn't help but recall the little girl who was on a date with Shido. Judging from the intimate behavior of the two, they should be a couple.
So she asked curiously:
"Itsuka-kun, does your girlfriend know that you are spending a lot of money in a game?"
"My girlfriend?"
Shido frowned. He didn't know who the other party was talking about. But after thinking about it for a while, he nodded lightly.
"And she's okay with it?"
Umaru asked curiously. In her opinion, girls would like their boyfriends to spend money on them, not wasting it on some useless games.
"Yes."
Shido nodded affirmatively. How could the Spirits mind him spending his own money when they were all depending on him financially?
