Chapter 160: Backward Encounter and Pandora’s Box Part 1

Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, this is so awkward! How the hell am I supposed to eat my dessert in peace like that!?

「Really now, Silvia, you eat as much as usual. Aren’t you worried that you might get fat?」

「You’d better watch your tongue out there, you Playboy. Besides, I’m still growing, so I need a whole lot of calories. Also, they are essential for my training.」

「You say training, but weren’t you the one who overslept while we were training from the early morning? Besides, since we’re in Japan, can’t we do some sightseeing? It’s such an opportunity!」

「Ha, that’s rich coming from you! I bet you only want to go sightseeing so you can hit on girls and try to invite them for dinner.」

「Kah! Johnson, with that kind of pick up line you’ll never score yourself a girl! If I were a girl and you’d use it on me, I’d flush it down the drain in no time!」

「Why, you little! Want to take this one outside!?  Huh!? That’s it! You’re going down! Oh, you’re going SO down! 」

「Would you guys shut up for a moment? I can’t hear her at all.」

「Hey, Alex? That program is a recording, not a live show, you know? And besides…… Didn’t we heard that a bunch of times yesterday?」

「Lucas, listen now…… Her voice is so gentle and nice. It’s like an angel’s wings wrapping themselves around me. And the amount of times we’ve watched that…… You got a problem with that?」

「I guess it’s better than the other shows you like to watch……」

「By the way, you said that your girlfriend is coming here tomorrow?」

「Ahh, I even said that I’ll cover her expenses! But she said that it’s fine and she’ll pay herself! And she said she would come here! All the way from Hokkaido! Somehow…… Isn’t that the most awesome thing ever!?」

「Silvia, please don’t encourage Alex further!」

「Ahh, now we won’t hear the end of it, aren’t we……?」

Because they talk mostly in fast-paced English and use a lot of slang words I can’t understand what they are talking about. But…… form the overall atmosphere I can guess that it’s something really stupid.

Sometimes I could see the look in the eyes of one of those Macho + Alpha guys, and those were the eyes of an experienced player. Most of the times he looked annoying, but the traces of seriousness as a gamer were there alright.

That’s right…… They were Pro Gamers after all. And if that is so, then could you please get your own meals delivered to your rooms? Pretty please?

「Dear Sir, are you ready to place your order?」

「Neaah!? Ahh, oh, oh yeah…… I’ll take this thing here.」

「Right, and what about the toppings?」

「Toppings? Oh, I see…… Then, give me a little bit of everything.」

I was so absorbed in trying to avoid getting dragged into that strange conversation behind my back that I even forgot about my own order for a moment. I just hope that I can be left alone long enough to thoroughly enjoy this dessert.

For the time being, I…… Should I try to make myself as invincible as possible in those circumstances? It’s not like they know how I am, so there is no need for me to try to conceal my presence that much, but……

「–––– No Face ––––?」

「–––– No Name ––––?」

Every now and then I hear familiar-sounding words and I get really nervous as a result. Some of them were simple English terms, so even someone like me was able to understand them. Apparently it must have been something event related, since the words “No Face” and “No Name” were being used quite often.

(I can’t understand English all that well, so even if they were having a strategy meeting I wouldn’t know what they are talking about…… But it’s something games-related for sure.)

In today’s era of gaming, being matched against foreigners is not all that unusual. And since the games does not take sides when it comes to language the players are speaking, they have no choice but to deal with it.

This means that when it comes to Pro Gamer stage, language barrier was not an obstacle anymore and it was the contest of pure skill. As long as you know where to go, what to do, and know certain exploits that you can abuse, you are all set to go.

That being said, there was no greater delight then throwing insults at one another, knowing full well that you won’t be able to understand one another.

「Thank you for waiting. Here’s your order: Erebus Parfait a la ~Ride of the Valkyries~.」

「Huh, I thought that I ordered a cheesecake…… UGH!」

Coming back to reality and looking towards the thing that was placed before me…… I made a pain-filled sound as my expression turned sour and my complexion turned pale.

Right in front of me, there was a mountain. An extremely cold, frozen iceberg. But it wasn’t just an iceberg, no. It was spewing red lavlike berry jam right from the middle of it, with lots of candy sticks being skewered on the sides, and a single gargantuan marshmallow being placed right on top of it.

「The hell is this?」

「It is our signature “Erebus Parfait”, which was created as a join effort of all the patisseries at our hotel. And since the moment it was created, you are the ninety ninth person to ever order it with full toppings.」

「…… Incidentally, out of those ninety nine people, how many succeeded in eating this thing to the very last spoonful?」

「Seven.」

So there are madmen like that…… No, that’s not important right now, why is this monster of a dessert even at my table!? I’m sure I ordered a cheesecake! Speaking of which, this thing is the object that was right next to the cheesecake in question.
