Chronicles of Three Flags

The Bluest Encounter

Aoki on their room finding information about their in game characters current location keep in track of the forum updates of any new information while looking at gourin's live stream. he is a popular game streamer in Tokyo NX gourin was asking the viewers about the venus wilderness and how to find a way back home, he also asks where aoki's and retsu's characters location to them and then a spark of just one clue

That viewer said that there is a smoke far away just hours ago before he logs out, he saw it from a mountain the blue Kilimanjaro, okay so the numbers have cut short from undefined to 4 and that is a big progress, then more answers that same question they say there was a faction war happening there between the oranges and blues, and that filters down into just one village

Yochion was a great trading post for the blue faction under the number one cascanopale, if the blue faction lost the second most important village in their hands they are in serious trouble but it is weird if the orange faction did it, they are the poorest faction from the other seven not even that but they are also have the lowest numbers of DPS players because they received bonus when they are not in combat encounter

With haste aoki dive right in to AYO and return his character to the main town, good thing that it's near so it will be quite easy but he spoke too soon because he got visitors. a player party appeared before him, a boy a man and a girl they wear an old Japanese wrap cloth with white and blue motif, in aoki's eyes she only notice the beautiful girl release her hair along with the gray ashes of these ruin

"hello mister traveler, can I ask you a question"

"sure, but please no need for misters call me by my nick name azure"

"well the my name is kazewalker12, can azure explain to us what happened here"

as aoki unfortunate to reply about this place the man walks towards him, he wishes to have a word with aoki in the grand master's audience for paper work, aoki isn't sure why he must because aoki needs to find gourin and eventually retsu, the man insist because it won't take too long as a compensate they will ask an escort for aoki to return safely, they seem to be the good guys but aoki is hard to believe it but he is also curious.

So aoki agrees to join the party and the boy comes in for greetings with him and also introduces this tall gentleman, this playful boy is thunderkite1 and this man is ryouma1, aoki surprised as he heard the name

"So are you Ryouma the number one beta tester?"

"Yes I am and now I'm just play for fun with my siblings here, my little sister and my youngest brother"

"then is it fine that we have a spar? You see I'm a beta tester as well, do you remember the name blueghost0?"

"how can I forget one of the red blue and green trio not only the most heart welcomed gamers, they are the best party in AYO"

They take a stand 40 meters apart waiting for each other's sudden move, the fans of wind from the forests lights a little spark on just one plank, when the spark became a flame they roll!, they both roll 10 but ryouma got under aoki in a flash, both of their katana clash but it's so close to his vision he steps back and wipe his eyes, they both roll in the same time again and they both tied again and aoki steps back... again

The fight moves on and even if aoki loses the dice roll he still have cards on his sleeves to boost himself so he won't get hit, but as soon as he runs out of plays a bard can't win against a swordsman, aoki admits his utter defeat and ryouma's siblings cheers for his win but it was no win ryouma said, if he wins then aoki can just log out and return to the main city with ease but he admit that it was a good fight

Ryouma wins and so aoki have to follow him for questioning, as they walk through the flourish greenery, kazewalker12 asks if aoki about something

"bluegho... azure...ghost..."

"aoki yukimura is fine"

"then my name is michiro kaze, yukimura-san I want..."

"sis you can't just tell your real name like that..."

"kiteru... your sister can't read English very well, it's fine"

"anyway yukimura-san do you really have siblings?"

"actually we're triplets, im the second one to came out"

"so is it true that twins or triplets faces are the same?"

"shut up kid, don't push it"

"then why are you separated?"

Aoki is a chatter about speculations because he is a smartypants, he thought that this is just a prank but it could be a real threat by someone the brothers knew all along, like the student council president is working with the developers and targeting us because they refuse their offer, and on the other case it could be something beyond this game like their encounter with that anonymous knight

"don't worry after the interrogation back at the capital we'll let you go"

"ryouma-san I'm just afraid if something even more powerful enemy will come along
