Legacy of the Betelgeuse

I raise my eyebrow while smiling.

"Sure, I'll tag along."

Ivonna smiles and nods.

"Come."

I enter the gaming room and we both log in to the game.

I'm waiting for Ivonna at the teleportation device in Fjel town. She then appears and walks towards me. She's staring at her screen and then looks around.

"She's in Sarkh Village and I told her to meet up outside the south gate of Sarkh Village. That's what I said to her when I emailed her. So, we should go there now."

I nod and we both go to Lyneir Town since it's the closest town to Sarkh Village.

It's around 32 kilometers from Sarkh Village. So we will be walking from here to Sarkh Village. Ivonna is crossing her arms while enjoying the scenery. She then looks at her screen.

"I wish we can add someone without having to see face to face."

I scoff and look at her.

"If they implemented that system, you will be flooded by friend requests every day."

Ivonna chuckles and nods.

"You're right. I take my words back."

I chuckle and then remember Chessi's name.

"Is your sister's name is Chessi?"

Ivonna is surprised and looks at me weirdly.

"No, her name is Chelsea. But yeah, I call her Chessi. How did you know?"

I scoff and tilt my head.

"You were calling her name in your sleep when we were in the Loslan Village."

Ivonna is embarrassed and covering her face with her hand.

"Oh, god... I'm so sorry."

I chuckle and tell her what happened when I was carrying her while she's asleep. Ivonna is showing her sour face for the first time and covering her face the whole time. I keep teasing her because it's fun to see her embarrassed like that. But then she says that she often falls asleep in her sister's bed, and her sister had to carry her to her bedroom.

We are having a nice conversation and she keeps talking about her embarrassing moments to me even though earlier she was embarrassed. Without noticing, we are already in front of Sarkh Village. We then go to the south gate of Sarkh Village where her sister is waiting at. As soon as we make a turn to the south gate, we both can see a white-haired woman is leaning on the wooden wall.

Ivonna then smiles and calls her.

"Chessi!"

The white-haired woman turns her head and staring at us. Her face is suddenly brightened and waves at us.

"Ivy!"

Huh, Ivy? I look at Ivonna and she raises her eyebrows. Chelsea is walking towards us and then she stops while staring at me. She's pointing at me while looking at Ivonna.

"Is he Trevor?"

Ivonna is surprised.

"He is. How do you know his name?"

Chelsea is smiling.

"Francesca sent me his photo."

Ivonna and I are looking at each other for quite a while. But then Chelsea claps her hands.

"Enough with that. I need some information about this game."

Ivonna then immediately explains everything. Like literally everything to Chelsea. I thought that Chelsea has the same personality as Ivonna, but she's not. She's a bit playful and cheerful compared to Ivonna, but Chelsea has the same gaze and expression as Ivonna when she's not showing any expression. Cold and hard to approach. Chelsea immediately understands most of the basic stuff and I can tell that she's a hardcore gamer by the way she asks the questions related to the game.

Chelsea nods with understanding.

"Okay, I'll be back in few hours."

Ivonna stops her and crosses her arms.

"Add me as your friend first. So we can contact each other."

Chelsea is faking her surprised face.

"Wow! The famous Ivonna is asking for a friend request!"

Chelsea is laughing and teasing her sister. Ivonna shakes her head and adds Chelsea to her friend list. Chelsea is staring at me and then a notification appears.

[Chelsea Adilene LeBlanc has requested you to be her friend. Accept?]

[Accept]

Ivonna is sighing and then clicking her tongue. Ivonna is glaring at Chelsea.

"I told you many times. Don't use your full name in the game. You even put our family name as well..."

Chelsea is playing dumb and tilting at Ivonna with her innocent smile.

"What? I don't understand what you're saying. Bye!"

Before Ivonna can scold her, Chelsea already runs back inside the village since Ivonna can't enter the tutorial village anymore. Ivonna is shaking her head and then she looks at me. I snort and she chuckles.

"That girl... she's always like that."

I'm humming with understanding.

"It must be fun to have a sibling. I envy you."

Ivonna smiles and nods.

"It is. Our apartment becomes so lively because of her. When she's not home, our apartment is so quiet and gloomy."

I'm surprised and look at her.

"Oh? You both live together?"

Ivonna nods.

"Yeah. Ever since we were little, she always follows me around. When I graduated from college, she moved in and live with me since then. Our parents are fine with it and it's better for me to watch over her since she's very hard to control."

I'm humming with understanding.

"So, is it really fine that you left her alone in the apartment? Don't you get worried when she brings a guy to your apartment?"

Ivonna shakes her head while chuckling.

"That's impossible. She's never interested in men at all. All her friends are women, and most of them are my friends. She's never dated with anyone."

I look at Ivonna with confusion.

"Is she..."

Ivonna immediately shakes her head.

"No. She's not interested in women as well. She's just don't want to be in a relationship. That's all."

I'm humming with understanding.

"How about you? Do you have a boyfriend?"

Ivonna shakes her head.

"Well, I was just recently. But we broke up. So, right now I just want to be alone."

Ivonna then continues.

"But yeah. I'm a bit worried to leave her alone in the apartment."

I look at Sarkh village and watching new players doing quests.

"Is she working?"

Ivonna shakes her head.

"Well, she's a freelancer. She designed a dress in the apartment and then sell her designs to someone. She got quite a lot of job offers from branded designers, but she didn't like the pressure and stay being a freelancer. Although, she's often going abroad and meet the designers who want to buy her designs."

I'm humming with understanding.

"Then why don't you invite her? We still have so many rooms here. She can work here as well and you have seen there's an empty room in the mansion. She can work here for a month. It's like working and vacation at the same time."

Ivonna is surprised and looks at me so seriously.

"Is it really fine?"

I furrow my forehead and smile.

"Of course! The more the merrier, right? I bet Francesca, Grisell, and Emma would love to have her here in the mansion."

Ivonna's face is brightened and smiles so brightly.

"Okay! I will ask her later when we see her again."

I nod and smile.

"Sounds good to me."

We are waiting for Chelsea to finish her tutorial outside Sarkh Village. So many newbies approach us and ask so many questions. I feel a bit weird when most of those newbies know who I am. They can't stop praising me and some of them even spamming their friend request to both of us, but thankfully there's a setting to block a friend request and we both use it immediately.

Chelsea is leaving Sarkh Village and she's done with the tutorial. She's approaching us who are waiting under the tree since it's quite hot recently in the game.

Chelsea is waving at us.

"Allo!"

Chelsea is standing in front of us with her innocent smile.

"So, I got to choose between the three sovereignties. Which one are you in, Ivy?"

Ivonna is squinting her eyes since the sunlight is hitting her face.

"Alliance Kingdoms."

Chelsea is looking at me.

"What about you?"

I shake my head.

"I'm not joining any of them."

Chelsea is looking at me with confusion. I then explain to her the reason why I'm not joining the faction yet. She immediately understands.

Ivonna then nods.

"Which faction are you going to join, Chessi?"

Chelsea is pointing at the east.

"The Aarus Empire's faction. I need the blessing to help me leveling."

Ivonna is frowning.

"You're not going to join the Alliance Kingdoms' faction with your dear older sister?"

Chelsea is sad when she sees Ivonna is frowning.

"I do... but I need the blessing to help me leveling. I will join the Alliance Kingdoms' faction when I don't need the buff anymore. I promise..."

Ivonna is chuckling and then laughs. She shakes her head.

"It's okay. You can enjoy the game however you want. I'll be waiting for you."

Chelsea nods.

"Okay then. I'll be leaving now! Tchao!"

Ivonna grabs Chelsea's leg and then Chelsea trips to the ground since she's about to run. Ivonna forgets that her STR is high enough to make a newbie fall to the ground by just holding her leg. Ivonna jolts from her sitting and lift Chelsea up. I'm holding my laughter so hard that I'm starting to snort.

Chelsea is rubbing her nose.

"Aie..."

Ivonna is hugging Chelsea and stroking her head gently and apologetically. Chelsea then looks at Ivonna.

"What is it?"

Ivonna smiles and nods.

"Do you want to come to the US, Chessi?"

Chelsea is still rubbing her nose.

"With you?"

Ivonna smiles and nods.

"Yeah. You have seen the photos I sent you, and you said you wanted to join us. So, if you want to, I can book a flight ticket for you."

Chelsea is surprised and both her eyes and mouth are wide open. Then she nods aggressively.

"Bien sur! I want to join you guys so badly. But Michael is there..."

I'm furrowing my forehead and tilting my head.

"What's wrong with Michael?"

Chelsea sighing.

"He's a pervert. His joke is so immature and unfunny..."

I'm surprised and raise my eyebrows.

"Ohh..."

Ivonna chuckles.

"Don't worry, we have Francesca, Grisell, and Trevor's friend, Emma. They will be happy to have you there with them. You said you missed Francesca and Grisell, right?"

Chelsea nods.

"I do. Well then, book me a flight for today since it's still 1 A.M. here."

Ivonna smiles.

"Okay. I will book you a 6 A.M. flight. Is that okay?"

Chelsea nods while smiling.

"Okay!"

Chelsea then stands up.

"I have to start packing then. I will see you later! Tchao!"

Chelsea then logs out from the game while Ivonna is booking a flight for her.

After she booked the flight for Chelsea, she emailed the ticket to Chelsea. We then logged out from the game.

Ivonna is on her way out, but then she turns around and looks at me while smiling.

"Thank you."

I shake my head.

"No need to mention that."

Ivonna smiles and nods.

"Good night."

I nod.

"Good night."
