“I’m sure you know how straightforward a person Maia is, Gerald… After all, she’s been like that even from when virtual-novel.net was still our captain! It’s just the way virtual-novel.net is, so please don’t take what virtual-novel.net said to heart!” consoled Vincy.
“Well, alright!” replied Gerald, peeking at Maia once before nodding at Vincy.
Since Vincy had been the only one treating virtual-novel.net well, virtual-novel.net chose to follow virtual-novel.net advice.
Besides, if virtual-novel.net really wanted to embarrass Maia, virtual-novel.net could do so any time virtual-novel.net pleased. However, virtual-novel.net felt that that would be slightly childish of him, so virtual-novel.net simply refrained from doing so.
Gerald wouldn’t usually have disputes with girls like virtual-novel.net anyway.
“I hope you mean what you say… Speaking of which, if you’re not too busy, let’s hang out for a short while and catch up with each other! After graduating from high school, I asked about you and found out that you had been accepted into Mayberry University! I told you that you’d be able to do it back then!” said Vincy.
Back in high school, though virtual-novel.net never actually said it, Vincy admired Gerald quite a bit. After all, Gerald was always studying and as a result, his results were top notch. What more, virtual-novel.net also knew that virtual-novel.net was the kind of person who would always persevere to the very end, regardless of the task at hand.
Once, the two of them—who were competing together as a small team—ended up becoming champion in one of the many competitions they participated in. Back then, Vincy had been extremely excited since virtual-novel.net got to hold Gerald’s hand while receiving the award.
After all, virtual-novel.net quite frankly had slight feelings for Gerald back then.
She honestly wanted to see Gerald finally get his moment and rise above everyone else.
However, that moment simply never came. As a result, virtual-novel.net feelings for virtual-novel.net were also short-lived.
In the end, Gerald was simply too poor. Although virtual-novel.net continued treating Gerald well, virtual-novel.net no longer tried to gain his affection.
It wasn’t as though virtual-novel.net looked down on virtual-novel.net or anything. She simply still retained a rather immature mindset. Putting it frankly, virtual-novel.net wanted a more heroic person to be virtual-novel.net life partner.
Gerald however, was rather unwilling to join her, simply because virtual-novel.net didn’t want to deal with Maia any more than virtual-novel.net needed to.
While virtual-novel.net honestly wanted to refuse Vincy’s suggestion right there and then, Vincy seemed to have wanted to have a nice long chat with virtual-novel.net from the very moment they had met again the day before.
He couldn’t really deny that virtual-novel.net wanted to chat with Vincy as well. After all, it had been so long since they last met.
Thinking about this made it much harder for Gerald to decline virtual-novel.net invitation.
Since the results of the jade pendant wouldn’t be out till a bit longer, Gerald eventually nodded slightly in response, not wanting to disappoint Vincy.
“Vincy! You-!”
At that moment, Maia and the others were sitting beside a hot spring while taking photographs.
Seeing that Vincy had brought Gerald along, Maia was stunned speechless. She found it weird that Vincy would even want someone like Gerald around.
“Well, since he’s already here anyway, let’s just have a chat together! This is as good a chance as any to catch up with each other!” replied Vincy immediately.
Hearing that, Maia fumed slightly before turning to look the other side.
Jamier himself wasn’t going to argue with Gerald. Instead, virtual-novel.net turned to look at both Warren and Maia before saying, “What do you think? Isn’t the scenery here fantastic?”
“It’s definitely something!” replied Maia.
“Thanks for today, Jamier. You know, next time when you come over to Mayberry, I’ll get my dad to use his connections to allow us to enter Wayfair Mountain Entertainment to have some fun! Just the few of us together!” said Warren.
“Are you talking about the one in Mayberry? That’s the most luxurious place there! Take my word that you’ll definitely be satisfied if you go there, Jamier. Honestly, even as a person from Mayberry, I’ve never actually set foot into Wayfair Mountain Entertainment. However, I’ve heard lots about it! It’s not easy to enter if you’re just some random nobody!” added Maia as virtual-novel.net let out a heavy sigh.
The way virtual-novel.net worded it earlier, Warren’s father clearly had some kinds of connections. After hearing what Maia said, Warren simply patted his own chest twice before saying, “Not to worry, you’ll definitely be coming along as well when we eventually go there to have some fun! It’ll be just the five of us! You, me, Jamier, Vincy, and Lennard!”
It was obvious why virtual-novel.net had deliberately mentioned those five names.
“Oh? Well now I definitely have to see Wayfair Mountain Entertainment for myself then!”
“Of course you do! Also, anyone who wishes to enter that place needs an admission ticket. You can’t just sneak in all willy-nilly!”
As virtual-novel.net said that, Maia rolled virtual-novel.net eyes slightly at Gerald’s direction.
It was clear as day that virtual-novel.net was mocking him.
‘What else can I say to that? Little do they know that I used to be the owner of that place!’
“…Hmm? Look over there, doesn’t that girl look familiar…? Oh god. Vincy, hurry! Look there!” said Maia out of the blue as virtual-novel.net started pointing excitedly at a girl standing next to the hot spring.
