I asked, swinging my scythe, unleashing magical purple skill effect out of it, killing the mobs in Dragon Hunting dungeon. The tall guy next to me nodded, as he charged his gun and killed few more mobs with his bullets.
"Yeah. Pretty big map. I lag a bit entering the map."
"Rest in peace, for potato phone users like me," I reply in despair. Some other teammates laughed in 'relatable'.
"Adora wanna check it out later? After we done dailies. Let's ride around for a bit there."
I shrugged a little, then back focusing on killing mobs.
"What's the map name again? Dilan? Delon?"
"It's Zelan, Dora," one other guy answered, his name is Gao. I laughed a little as a response.
"Ohhh, lol I forgot. Dora heard about the other maps too though, the Luxury Cruise Ship one."
"Yeah I visited that place with Xeth already. We took some 'nice' pics, you know..." Gao said with big grins on his face. I also smiled weirdly, knowing what exactly Gao meant.
"Ohohoho you guys went without me, ah? So cruel!"
Gao laughed a bit, then back killing mobs. We continued from Dragon Hunt to Devil Awake mission twice, as always. Then we moved to Midnight Pumpkin dungeon, answering pumpkin questions and killed the monsters. Usual daily missions.
After that, the team disbanded, leaving me alone with Gao.
"Ah, why don't we invite Xeth to go with us?" he asked, breaking silence between us. I let out a big smile on my face, jumping around in agreement, screaming, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!"
We contacted Xeth through club chat and personal message. And as I expected, didn't take him long to show up in front of us, with a smile of a person who's ready to go anywhere as long as it's fun. There he is, Xetherial.
"Where we going again?" he asked. I showed the World Map to him.
"Zelan. Let's take a ride around the new map."
"Oke, let's go!!"
We teamed up and moved to Zelan. With easy teleportation, and a little bit lag for my potato phone (T.T), we arrived to the big night city.
It's really big. And it has many small alleys. Tall shiny buildings, anime ads and stuffs.
Everything it takes to get me raptured.

Also the area that has Kabuki-chō(*) vibes, I just loved it very much.
"Reminds me a lot with Tokyo map," Gao said while taking pictures of Xeth's candids. I nodded.
"Eh... guys... look at that..."
Xeth pointed his fingers at one dark alley. It looks like many other alley but seems like it's a bit deeper. I think it's leading us to an apartement lobby or something. We walked to the alley. It was so dark that i was afraid i'd step on their feet.
But then we stopped.
With our eyes opened wide.
"This place..." Xeth whispered.
"Yeah... this place..." Gao replied.
I can't believe it. My mouth opened a little.
"This place is THE BEST PLACE TO DO "THAT KIND OF" PHOTOSHOOT!"
We screamed the words together in excitement. Xeth and Gao already knew what to do. They walked to the wall and start doing kabedon poses. Me, who already knew what to do too, took out my camera and shot hundreds of pics at a time.
It was full with excitement. The dark place supports the mood so much I felt like I was going to cry. All this time people do kabedon pose in weird unfitting places, but this place!
This place is awesome!!
We went crazy with the poses. Must not waste this opportunity and should make the best out of it. WE SHOULD TAKE THOUSANDS OF PICTURES--
That's until someone showed up in club chat.
"Why are you guys not asleep?!"
Oh no, Gatto, the mom, noticed us.
"It's 1AM WHY ARE YOU GUYS NOT ASLEEP?!"
Without answering Gatto in club chat we agreed to disband in silent and went offline. I turned on discord and saw Gao sharing the pictures in our club, Exodus' server.

I lost it and tried to hold my laugh. The pictures we took now will ever become my reference for drawings 'that' kind of things. Forever i'll cherrish it in my "scientific experiment" file folder.
Zelan was pretty awesome.
I'll take a stroll again there.
