79 ⌜Chapter 68⌟
Sinon looked around the registration area looking for the thief and soon she found him seating on a bench and looking at her with an amused expression as if she had seen a prized panda in a zoo and beckoning her to sit beside him by patting the chair.
Sinon couldn't help but snort she still made her way towards him but she didn't sat beside him and only glared at Morax.
"Come seat beside me"
"Hmph"
Sinon turned her head away.
"I guess you don't want the gun back"
*Plop!
Sinon immediately sat beside Tanaka though she was now fuming in anger.
"Pedophile"
"What do you mean pedophile?"
"I'm 15! so that makes you a pedophile"
"...I'm 16"
"Impossible!"
Sinon couldn't help but stare at him in shock.
"Hey, this is my avatar, not the real me alright?"
Tanaka felt helpless, he knew that his character looked quite mature and his aura is that of an experienced old man who had been through life being mistaken as an old guy really hit him in his soft spot, because thinking about it, he was actually an old man after spending a lot of years dying in SAO.
"Ah, I'm sorry"
Sinon realized her mistake and felt sorry for Tanaka after seeing his expression of being mistaken as an old guy.
"No, it's okay, but if you are really sorry, how about a date, you don't have to accept it, but if you are really sorry..."
Tanaka shrugged but he emphasized his words making Sinon get his hint, Sinon surely got his hint but she couldn't help but stare at Tanaka.
'He is really shameless'
Sinon thought, but Sinon didn't answer him and only turned her head towards the passing people, seeing this Tanaka didn't know what to do, he isn't experienced with females, sure he was surrounded by his beautiful companions from SAO but he considered them as friends for now.
"Umm.. how about I give back your gun after the date"
Tanaka added another deal, and sure enough, this caught the attention of Sinon, and looked at him, she hesitated for a bit before answering.
"Alright"
"Good, see you tomorrow 8 AM, at the front of the Shujinko Store, I will wait for you there"
Tanaka immediately jumped in excitement and immediately turned into a particle of lights, indicating that he have logged out of the game.
This left Sinon in a dumbfounded state as she looked at Tanaka's disappearing figure.
"Wait!"
But alas, she was too late.
'I thought it was a date in GGO! not in real life! Ahhh!'
Sinon screamed inside her head, she got taken advantage of by that guy again! he is really shameless! manipulator! Thief! pervert! due to her increasing heartbeat of Sinon, her heartbeat reached the maximum safety limit of the game and was forcefully logged out of the game.
Shino opened her eyes and immediately sat up from her bed then removed the AmuSphere she was wearing and threw it to the side.
"Ahh!:
She covered her face with her hands as she felt that her face was burning.
"I have never been asked by a guy before, and I also barely knew him, should I just not go?"
Shino fell back to her bed once again and started thinking.
"But I will feel bad if he actually waited for me.... what should I do?"
Shino started rolling around her bed trying to find the best option and decide if she really wants to meet the guy named Morax.
"Yes! I should spy on him first and check if he is a good guy, he might be lying of being 16, if he is an old man, I will call the police immediately"
After a lot of debate inside her head, she finally came to a decision.
"But before that... I need clothes, I wonder what should I wear? should I wear red to be a little bold? or maybe yellow to give a sunny feeling"
"..."
Tanaka got out of his cabin and happily stretched his body, then he cheered loudly.
"Fuck Yeah! I did it!"
Fortunately, his office was soundproof and he was the only one inside, Tanaka then moved to his table and pressed a button.
A few minutes later, someone knocked on the door before entering.
"Do you need me for anything Tanaka-sama"
"Kohi, clear my schedule tomorrow, I have somewhere important to go"
Kohi didn't reply immediately and checked the schedule first, after she made sure there was nothing important.
"Certainly Tanaka-sama, do you need me to prepare anything for you?"
"Yes, give me casual appealing clothes, not too stylish, and also glasses, I don't want to look rich, and also prepare me some bouquet of flowers and chocolates, I don't need any drivers, I'm going to drive my motorcycle, also tell Joinchiro that I will be visiting them tomorrow"
"As you wish"
Kohi found the request a little weird but after putting the pieces together, Kohi realized that all of this are preparation for a date! she immediately thought of all the females around Tanaka and found there was no one among them that will go on a date with him, it must be a new girl!
'I must tell this to Hosaka-san'
Kohi noted inside her.
"That is all, thank you"
Tanaka said with a smile..
"Its my job Tanaka-sama, I will go prepare now"
"Okay"
Kohi immediately left the room, she first did the tasks given to her by Tanaka, for the bouquet of flowers and chocolate, she messaged the ones under her, she then messaged the man named Joinchiro who was a chef that Tanaka will be visiting their shop.
After that, the only ones left are the clothes, Kohi didn't have that much style, so she was going to ask the professional.
Arriving in front of Hosaka's office, Kohi knocked and waited for the door to open and see Hosaka.
"Kohi, did Tanaka give any instructions?"
Hosaka asked as she let Kohi in.
"I have to report something Hosaka-san"
The relationship of Hosaka and Kohi are very close, not just co-workers but also as close friends, so Kohi immediately started retelling what Tanaka told her.
"I see"
*Crack~
The made of metal tumbler of Hosaka cracked as she gripped it tightly, her face is dark but a smile could be seen on her face.
"I will prepare the clothes for him, Kohi come with me tomorrow, we will see who is the bitch"
"Yes"
