Chapter 29 (1/2)

Volume 4: Aran, On The Job!

Chapter 29: On the Way to the Shore

In the Eastern region of the Veroon Grand Duchy, was the port city of Gran Horts that faced the Sharuno River

Many beginners and accomplished players would travel from Crescendo to Gran Horts via ocean liner, so it was a city bustling with liveliness, being only second to Vernewt

Coupled arm temperatures that made it felt like the Mediterranean Sea, the stone paved road that ran along the shoreline was lined with fashi+onable wood-frah level players ould come to visit and leisurely spend their ti around aimlessly

The cafes at Gran Holts were operated by NPCs Boosting your status for a set period of ti your stamina consumption was the「Pancetta and Mascarpone Sandwich」, these ell renowned products in this city and they captured the hearts of the player base In the garance, this was due to the fact that UnChain was able to stiame Apparently there were players ere connoisseurs of foods froours every day

Incidentally, even if you ate food in the game it would obviously not fill your stomach in real life

「Aran-chan~, It’s been sooo loong~!」

As Aran waited for Igarashi+ at the Gran Horts cafe「Brandan」, a sound reached his ear A voice with a sort of stickiness thathis way

「…… Oh, nobu-san」

Waving his hand as he ca pink shi+rt──

He was DICE’s stylist: nobu

nobu had shortly tri avatar was no doubt that of a arnished with female tendencies

Franking speaking, even in the real world, he was a so-called “effeminate” type of stylist

「Oh co time? How’ve you been?」(nobu)

「Our last photo shoot was about 1 h for DICE to no cut off their sponsorshi+p」

「Ya know for me, I don’t really come here often, but I watched Aran-chan’s stream ya know」

「Really? Thank you very much」

According to nobu, he just happened to be logging in for work related reasons when Aran was fighting the High Dragon Drake, so he was able to watch the live broadcast

nobu was DICE’s stylist, but he was not their exclusive one Since he has contracts with other apparel on’s Krone

「Anyways, today you’re going do so a shoot with Clo-chii, that right? Do you two know each other?」(nobu)

「……’Clo-chii’…… Do you mean Cloche? We are not acquaintances, but I think we know of each other’s existence」

「Hmm~ Well, the both of you are celebrities after all Still, to have to two of you at the photo shoot together, I’m like totally excited」

Ufufu, nobu wore a led

Apparently nobu-san is extres

Cloche is a feory as well, but I don’t think that Aran’s avatar can really be described as “cute”

「That aside, have you met Cloche before, nobu-san?」

「I’ve been invited by Tinker Bell to do photo shoots before ya kno should I say, she was like a “gentlemanly” woman」

「Gentleives off that kind of feeling from her streams」

I have browsed through Cloche’s videos many times

She was a feh level of technique and a “cool” tone of voice, and frohly evaluated player that even rivals me Despite the fact that I think it’s ridiculous when people say that she’s on the same level as me, I admit that there is a sort of ‘beauty’ in her play style

All said and done, even I aain

「That girl, her tone is a bit cold-hearted, but she pays attention to the little details, so I think she’ll ht be a point that captures the hearts of men after all」(nobu)

「I see Since nobu-san has such a high level of feminine appeal, if you say it then it really sounds persuasive」

「You’re kidding~, For real~? Oh my God, You’re such the smooth talker Aran-chan~!」

nobu repeatedly slapped Aran on the shoulder as he said that, but since PK is prohibited in Gran Horts, Aran didn’t feel a shred of pain

「……In any case, Igarashi+-san hasn’t come yet huh」(Aran)

「That’s right huh Normally he’d be the first one here」(nobu)

The arranged tih there was still 5 arashi+ or the rest of Tinker Bell’s staff at the cafe

Since he was in charge of the overall earashi+ would always be the first one to arrive at theplace In order to confiron’s Krone’s ades at the film location, there were a nuet done

Igarashi+ was a man as always punctual, and there’s no way that Tinker Bell’s cameraman and their entire staff would also arrive late

Perhaps, did so happen?

「Now that ya mention it, not in this world but in the real one, one ti crew arrived late you see When that happened Iga-chan (Igarashi+) was super scary」(nobu)

「i-is that so」(Aran)

nobu idly said those words, but Aran could only blink his eyes in surprise

That is pretty unexpected…… But, I sort of understand how it ht’ve looked

How should I say, Igarashi+-san is norentle character, but if you step on a landives of that type of aura

「Usually he seeet’s all tight-knit all of a sudden, dont’cha thing? At that time he was even more tense and stuff」(nobu)

「…… That happened o, that story」

「ッ!?」

Then, avoice abruptly shot out from behind

Standing behind Aran and nobu, was a arashi+

「Iga-chan, Oh hai~」(nobu)

「Igarashi+-san, it is rather unusual for you to arrive barely in time」(Aran)

「Yes, I’arashi+)

「…… Eh? A problem?」(Aran)

Anxiety showed on Igarashi+’s face as he apologized, and for so

Most likely, it has so to due hy the Tinker Bell staff hasn’t arrived yet

「The truth is, it appears that the Tinker Bell staff hasplace They have already started heading to the film location, but, perhaps they were too iarashi+)
