Unrivaled System

When we arrive there were already a lot of people inside. The venue was so lively as a lot of people were holding glow sticks.

We quickly located our seats. It was at the very front, the VIP seats.

"It will start in about ten minutes. Wait for a bit, I'm going to get some food."

"This is not a movie, you know?"

"We're a VIP, so it's okay."

"...Okay. Be quick."

He left and I waited for a couple of minutes.

He came back a minute before the concert started.

"Here, you want to use this?"

A glow stick? He also bought it? I accepted it in my hand.

"You have one, too?" I was quite surprised. I don't think he gave me the image of him being into this.

"Yeah. Why not?" He asked in a matter-of-fact-way.

He is not the only one who discovered some of my sides, I discovered his too.

"No, it's nothing." I shook my head, and grabbed the drink he passed to me.

...

"RISE! RISE! RISE!"

"RISE! RISE! RISE!"

The people here are so lively. RISE. It's the name of this group of women, they are responsible for almost all of the characters' voices. After all, the characters in the game are full of women with only a few men.

Voice actresses and idols are a bit different, but I guess they will be singing the game's song, I wonder?

I then saw a group of beautiful women coming onto the stage. I gave him a side glance to see if he reacted in some way.

...No reaction. I'm not mocking them but I guess my beauty is just way our of their league. In his eyes, they must not be comparable to me.

I don't know what to feel about this. Should I be happy or what?

I didn't continue to dwell on the matter and joined the hype of the crowd.

Of course, I was not overly immersed into it. I was careful of maintaining my image.

...

"Illusory Sword! Illusory Sword!"

"..."

I was speechless. He was really comfortable, he didn't even try to hide anything and went along with the crowd. No, he might even be one of the people who were hyped up the most.

Illusory Sword, it was one of the songs in the game. The song will start as a background music when the Sword Princess will use her ultimate skill. The sword that was real and fake at the same time. It looked like it was swords made of illusion. Ever changing.

I wryly smiled. Why do I even have to do everything to take care of my image in front of him? I could say that I'm comfortable with him, but I chose to avoid it, forcing myself.

I learned since young that having someone see your unexpected side could be made into your own weakness. Which is why... I went so far just to not expose anything.

In the end... I think it's worthless. My time is almost up, anyway. I can at least let loose in this final moments.

And so I did... I stopped holding myself back.

I didn't notice at this time that there was a soft sigh of relief that came from my side.

...

"Encore! Encore! Encore!"

"Encore! Encore! Encore!"

Together with him and the crowd, we shouted while waving our glow sticks high up.

[Solitude]

They followed the voice of the crowed, asking for an encore. Solitude. One of the special songs that are rarely heard in the game. It was the story of a mage that was isolated from other mages. The mage was a Combat Mage. Yes, this was the class he used against me. It was one of the most rare class used in the game.

...

The concert ended.

"It's night already, still want to continue?" He asked.

"No. I did leave a message behind, but my friend would be worried." I shook my head. Riesse might be anxious after finding out I was gone.

"Okay. We still have a lot of time left. I will come and get you again, tomorrow." He nodded with a smile.

...

I'm amazed. I don't think that husband of mine could rival his strength.

He naturally teared through the space and brought me back to my mansion.

It was the second time seeing it, so I still can't help but be amazed. What kind of rank is this? The peak of Dominator... or that mysterious realm?

That couldn't be, right? It's not possible. He is way too young.

"I'm going now, take care." He smiled letting go of my hand.

'Are you not going to stay, at least maybe drink a tea?' Or so I would like to say... but I can only keep these words in my mind.

For me to act like this, maybe I'm just overwhelmed of the situation today.

The warmth that wrapped my hand all day long today was gone. I don't know what to feel about it.

"I know. You take care, also." I responded normally. Although something inside me felt like it was still not enough, but I can't find a reason why I feel like this.

That's why... until I know it. I will act as usual.

"I'm coming again, tomorrow. Be prepare this time, okay?" He spoke with a mischievous grin on his face. He is teasing me.

"Humph!" I snorted and added, "I'm aware. I won't repeat that mistake again. I believe you this time, I saw what you are capable of after all."

"I don't think it's a mistake. And I don't mind you repeating that mistake again." He chuckled.

"You...!" Before I could say something in response, he disappeared.

...I hate it...

Really. I hate it. Not him, but myself. This relationship could only last a week. I have no power to change it.

So... don't make me hope for more.

...

"Milady, where did you go? Why did you suddenly disappear?"

The door was immediately opened and Riesse with an anxious face spoke.

I smiled, "Hmm. Should I tell you?... but I had fun. I can at least tell you that. It was really fun, you know?"

"...you are acting very weird with that huge grin on your face. Come on, tell me what happened? For you to be this happy. I wonder what caused it?"

...

Next update is three days from now. I did say the updates are every other day, so I plan on posting this tomorrow, but I mistakenly posted it. And well, I can't just take it back.

I have to follow the sched of updates because I have other novels.
