Oblivious Heart - (A Male Reader x Rinko Shirokane Fanfiction)

Chapter 8 - Voice

"I'm back!!" I screamed from the top of my lungs after getting home from the shop.

Although before I can log back in, I have to download some new resources because of the new update.

"So the voice chat feature is here huh..." I said to myself.

That would mean that I can finally hear Rinrin's voice...

"Alright Hot Milk-kun! Brace yourself!" I told myself.

And just now, I receive a message from Saito.

"Come to Yuna-san's shop! Everyone's here, they're all waiting for you!"  - Saito

By everyone... he means... even Rinrin huh...

Why the heck am I so conscious around Rinrin??

"We're friends, no more than friends. I promised Rinrin that we'd enjoy the game without my feelings getting in the way!" I told myself.

After downloading the new update, I log back in and immediately head to Yuna-san's shop.

"Look who the cat dragged in!" Saito said.

I chat and asked Saito how I'm able to activate voice chat.

"Oh yeah. You have to go to settings, and then voice, and then make sure you have the correct microphone set. It's up to you whether you want to set it as automatic or via push to talk!" Saito said.

"But this voice chat feature really is something huh? It's the first time I've heard y'all's voices~" Yuna-san said.

"Hello? Is this thing on?" I asked them and checked to see if my mic was working.

"Loud and clear buddy!" Saito said.

That's a relief....

But hold on...

I look around, and there's only the 3 of us here... I thought we'd have more people?

"Looking for someone?" Yuna-san asked.

"Not particularly..." I said.

"Too bad~ Ako-chan and Rinrin left a little while ago! You should've heard their voices!" Yuna-san replied.

I missed it...

"I'm not really interested...." I said.

I'm really interested.

I'm actually a little surprised that Rinrin used voice chat. I thought for sure she wouldn't use that kind of feature even if it's available now.

"They went leveling, Ako is slowly catching up actually! She just hit 60 earlier, what a fearsome player..." Saito said.

Let's do a level check.

Me, Rinrin, and Saito are all Level 150, the current new cap. Yuna-san is currently 144. She's almost there. Shiina-san seems to be level 58, while Ako-san is 60. A pretty decent increase in levels for the past few days.

"I thought Shiina-san would be here?" I asked.

"She's probably with her friend. She did say that her friend recommended the game to her yes?" Saito recalled.

Ahh, that is true.

I wonder if we'll meet them soon?

Meanwhile, Ako and Rinrin are currently leveling. Well, it's more of Rinrin helping Ako to level up.

"Rinrin, that was the last one!" Ako said.
