My SSS-Rank Class Is Blood Monarch!

Chapter 191- Totally Not a Date (Part 4)

After that, Arthur and Isla walked to the counter where they put all the tickets they earned on the table in front of a completely stunned worker. They looked at the mountain of tickets in complete shock.

'S-So many... Didn't they walk in here 20 minutes ago?!' The man was unable to comprehend how the two were able to gather that many tickets in such a short period of time. It was completely ridiculous.

"We want something with these tickets," Arthur said. "Are these enough for anything?"

'Enough?!' The worker almost had a heart attack hearing Arthur's innocent question. 'That's more than I have ever seen in my life!'

"Ehem, y-yes! Of course! We have some good prizes for you!" The man nodded his head and quickly pulled all the tickets away. Before he walked to the back. "Which kind of gift do you want?"

"Uh, you can choose, Isla," Arthur said.

"... What's your best gift?" She asked after thinking for a moment.

"... Mm, our best is a 3D jigsaw puzzle of the 'Angel Of Fate'." The man said.

"Angel of Fate?"

"Yes, the angel who brings all the players into the Divine Realm. Do you want the puzzle?" He asked.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"..."

'They really have a 3D figure of Fermen?' Arthur blinked. 'Interesting. I wonder why.' He sighed inwardly, almost laughing at how weird it was.

"Sure, we will take that," Isla replied. She didn't seem aware of what Arthur had noticed.

"Of course!"

Grabbing the big box with the beautiful Angel drawn on it, the worker handed it to Isla. "Is that all?"

"Yes, thank you."

Then, the two walked out of the arcade area. The worker stared at their backs silently, his mind wondering where these two came from.

"..."

"Your influence on the real world is bound to become greater and greater as time goes on. If that is what you wish for. Then, keep doing what you're doing, climb higher, and then you will see the results."

Looking down, Arthur nodded his head faintly. It was true, everything Isla said was correct. It was unreasonable to think his influence on the real world should've evolved as fast as his influence in the game. He had only entered the Divine Realm a few weeks ago and he was barely taking his very first steps in there. Rushing the results was only going to make him perform worse and lose his position.

'... Then I would never be able to help them even if I could.' Clenching his fists, Arthur came to a realization. He could never really rush anything, not even his own growth as a person or as a player. It all must come patiently.

"I will work hard. No, I will work harder than ever so that in the future, I will stand next to you and be able to do something when I have to." He said as he looked up at his friend, his eyes filled with endless determination. That was not a mere promise, that was an oath on Arthur's soul that he was going to become someone great. Someone who would never feel inferior when he stands next to Isla and the others.

Someone worthy of the 'Number 1' title.

Isla could read all those thoughts through his eyes and she could only smile slightly. That was exactly the look she wanted to see on Arthur's face. "Good. I think our journey was fruitful then."

"... Wait, you did all of this just to help me out of that state?" He asked in shock.

"Yes, and no." She replied.

"Huh?"

"At first, my intentions were just to relieve your worries. But, after we went in... I started having fun myself. I didn't expect going to the amusement park was this enjoyable of an experience."

"Wait, you've never been here before?"

"No. This is my first time."

"But, it is something I would definitely love to do again in the future."

As the Ferris Wheel reached the ground again and the door opened, Isla said. "Let's visit this place again in the future. You and me."

A//N: Don't forget to give the book some golden tickets for good luck! :3
