Sylvia

"My name is Sylvia."

She was a maid, a woman wearing a maid uniform, so she was a maid named Sylvia. Even so, she was a maid holding a knife in her hand, indicating to me indirectly that if I messed up, she would stab me with that knife. It was terrible, even for this first impression.

She is indeed a beautiful woman, has beautiful eyes, even her hair is tied in a ponytail, but if she is like that, I'm a little bit chilly to see her. I lost some momentum when I wanted to introduce myself to her because of the knife.

Meanwhile, Andre seemed to have no problem with the woman's presence. He seemed to already know her. Therefore, he stood beside the woman without suspecting the reason why she brought the knife here.

"Why did you bring me here, Master Andre?" she asked.

"Via, protect me!"

Andre's sentence created a misunderstanding between her and me. She suddenly quickly turned to me and showed me the knife again. Andre's sentence made her misunderstand that he was asking for protection from me, which the woman probably thought was a bad man.

"Whoa, you… What did you do to Master Andre!?"

"..."

I responded with silence, while Andre was surprised and blinked his eyes repeatedly.

"E-Eh? No, it's not like that, Via."

"What? Not only does he want to sell you, but he also wants to take your organs!? God damn it..."

"..."

"No, that's not what I meant. I want you to protect me in the Heroes Mobile game. Therefore, I brought you here to play with me," Andre said.

"Oh, I see. Does that mean this guy isn't a bad person?" She asked.

"Yeah, he's not a bad person. He is my teacher named Mr. Daylon."

Can you get rid of that knife first before I introduce myself, maid woman!?

"Sorry for my misunderstanding, Master Daylon," She said, lowering her body then turning to Andre and still thrusting the knife at me. "So, Master Andre, what should I do for you?"

"Hey Via, can you play the Heroes Mobile game?"

Andre didn't even know if the woman could play the game or not. He seemed to have brought the wrong person to protect him.

"Sure, even my Rank has reached the Platinum tier."

"Amazing," Andre said, looking pleased with teary eyes.

That surprised me a little. I was too quick to jump to the conclusion that the woman couldn't play the game. I was wrong. However, even so, will she be able to play well? Naturally, playing to protect Andre who will be using the Marksman Role Hero later.

"Besides, I can also protect you from that man."

She said that and showed me her knife and cruel face. That looks like a threat to me.

"I told you, Mr. Daylon is not a bad man. He is my teacher, Via."

"Oh, I see. Pardon my misunderstanding, Master Daylon."

She bowed again, apologizing to me, which was either sincere or not. After that, she took out her smartphone from her uniform pocket. But, for some reason, I wonder why her face looks so arrogant when she shows her smartphone at me.

"Extraordinary. That's the latest smartphone, isn't it?" Andre asked.

"Umph, that's right, Master Andre. I just bought this smartphone last night," She replied, looking even more arrogant and haughty.

"It's true, yesterday's smartphone fragments that I found in the trash were your smartphone. So now, you have a new smartphone? That's great, Via."

No, wait! What are you in the trash for, Andre? And... why did the smartphone break? There's something wrong.

"Of course. Because the smartphone was already useless because I slammed it too hard, so I bought this new smartphone. Look, it's cool, isn't it?"

"Cool... You're so cool, Via."

Alright, I'll guess what happened.

Andre once said that he often heard harsh words, and that was when his family servants rested. He also said that many of his family's servants played the game. Meaning, there is only one possibility that I can conclude; namely that the maid, whose name was Sylvia, played the game and irritated her, possibly causing her to slam down her smartphone. And now, she came here with the new smartphone she just bought yesterday night.

This means that Andre's sentence is true, the servants are toxic while playing the game.

"You can't have this," She said, thrusting her smartphone at me.

"...Oh okay. I won't have that, so you can have that."

I responded by giving in, so as not to make things worse, even though I wanted to destroy her arrogance.

If she can take care of Andre, it doesn't matter. I currently need one person to protect him. That way, Andre will be able to find and get gold without fear of being ambushed by his opponents later. He will speed up his hero's items so that he can deal consecutive damage to his opponents. He will be able to become the DPS his team needs because he has his guard.

I'm sure Andre can develop faster, much faster than playing solo.

The Mobile Heroes game is a game that requires teamwork. If a player is good and has abilities above the standard, it will not necessarily achieve victory. Of course, that's because if the player does not have cooperation on his team. Although the player can kill his opponents and get a large number of kills, the player will not necessarily win. The chance to win the player is still 60%—only up 10% chance.

Therefore, even if you and your team's skills are standard but your teamwork is good, you can still win the match even if your opponent is a professional player. The chance to win with teamwork is 70%—up 20% from the previous which was only 50%.

For a solo player like Andre, at least with one friend to play with, Andre can still win the game. He can still cooperate with his partner, namely his maid named Sylvia. That way, the chances of winning the match were 30%, if the opponents didn't have good cooperation.

KREEK!

Andre connects his smartphone to the television. I was the one who ordered it. I did that so I could see the match clearly, without having to look at the smartphone screen.

"We'll be playing Classic Mode again."

I still don't want to invite him to play Rank Mode. My reasoning was simple; it was because Andre still needed to learn to use Marksman Role Heroes. Therefore, by only playing Classic Mode, the stars in Andre's Rank Mode will not drop even if he loses. Even so, it will still affect the Winrate on the heroes it uses later.

As the television screen displayed the Heroes selector, I heard a voice say, "Cute... I'll pick this," from beside me, on the gaming chair to be exact. Simultaneously, I quickly turned to the maid.

Seriously!? She forgot her goal of playing the game.

Her cheeks flushed red, staring at the screen of her smartphone. However, when she realized that I was looking at her, her face immediately turned menacing.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that, Master Daylon?"

At the same time, Andre chose the same hero as before, Hanabi.

"I will keep using this hero," Andre said. "What hero did you use, Via?"

"Eboy… I used the Eboy Hero. He's so cute."

"I see, so you used the Mage Role. Good."

"..."

I just kept quiet, noticing how difficult it was to explain this situation.

She used a Mage Hero, so that was not what I wanted with her presence here. She came here to protect Andre by using the Tank Hero, but strangely, she used the Mage Hero instead.

She picks Eboy, a lizardman wizard. Eboy doesn't have a good defense, even his HP tends to be weak, easy to kill, but has good Crowd Control and AoE and deals enough damage. It was not the right choice to protect the hero that Andre used, Hanabi.

She forgot that she was playing with Andre to protect him. She chose and used Eboy because she thought it was cute. That's something she shouldn't have done. Being here is the same as an office slave who was ordered to clean the files on the computer but instead cleans the dust on the floor.

"Hahaha… I'll kill, kill, and keep on killing. Hahaha."

With that laugh, I gave up and let her use the hero, Eboy. Because after all, she can't change heroes anymore, because she has already pressed Ready for the hero she uses, Eboy.
