VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

Chapter 250 The coincidence

"You know what? Let's just surprise her, ok? When she comes, keep up that high and mighty act of yours and try to confuse her. Act as if you don't know who she is, ok Sammy?"

Alex was with the Queen of Viv, the highest authority of the southern region of the western continent.

She was talking with her casually as she always does, but, even though the situation right now was complicated and tension was visible on even the Queen's face, she was planning a prank for Olive who had just arrived in the palace.

"You and your little games, Asia. I understand she's your friend and all, but she's amazing, you know? Eating her bread has been a delight for me for a long time…

She really has a talent for baking."

"Oh that's our Olive~. You know what, Sam? She has won one of the most prestigious awards in our world in cooking. It's similar to achieving a Divine qualification."

"Oho? Really?"

"Of course~. If she had started even a year ago, she would have been famous all around the world by now~."

Alex was talking about a year of this world. So, around four or so months of their time.

"She still got pretty famous even without that though so she's certainly no simple individual."

The Queen…

"This is different Sammy. She doesn't like any of this… if it wasn't for Elio somehow convincing her, she might not even have come here.

She doesn't understand a lot of things since she just came here, you know? It's complicated sometimes when it comes to her."

"And yet this 'Elio' of yours manages to get through her, huh? He sure is a fun person as well."

Samantha Orwell Von Xavier Viviadra, the <Golden Queen> or the <Grandmaster of Three Great Arts>.

She was a high elf so she had been around for a while however, she had not been interested in many people throughout her long life. She wasn't that old, but she had been around for a few centuries and in eleven years, that wasn't that much.

Alex used to be a simple person to her as well, but with time and the circumstances that brought them together on multiple occasions, as well as the help that she received from this person on multiple occasions had made her pretty close to her.

She wasn't like a successor to her, she would have loved that if she could accept the position of a successor and look after this kingdom with her or after her, but she was with someone else, and she wanted to see the rest of this world with that person as well.

Elio… she had heard his name countless times, and ever since a few months ago, she had been hearing this name from this world's sources as well.

Their exploits, the adventures that they were having, the common people that they were meeting once again, and the trouble they were causing… all of that was coming to her ears regularly.

She knew how they dealt with that dark mage in Moongold, she knew how they took care of the magic tower master outside that simple village, and they knew what they had done in Kalp and Yuta.

She knew Alex closely so just knowing a few details about her swordplay made her sure of her identity, however the man that she was with right now was quite a unique character for her.

She knew this would be the one Alex had always talked about, but she didn't think he would be so unique…

Six attribute affinity, a tamed slime that can use magic, a mutant gecko that they rescued from the dark mage, and lastly the heroic sacrifice that turned him into the Selfless hero of Kalp.

He was just like her when it came to exploits. He was just like how she had always talked about.

"Haaa… Elio, that bastard. I'll get to him soon, alright? I'll drag him here after I get my hands on him as well."

"Fufu, there's no need to be rough with someone that-."

"Hmm?"

"…?"

"Hmmm? What's this?"

The Queen was talking, but Alex suddenly looked at a sudden screen pop up with a confused look.

"Asia?"

"This is weird…"

It seemed to be a communication request from what she could tell, but since she couldn't see the hidden name, she didn't know who this might be from.

However from the looks of it, it seemed quite concerning to Alex.

She didn't even hesitate to accept the request. It almost seemed to be an instinctive response but she had still checked the ID and confirmed who exactly it belonged with a quick glance…

"Hello? What the hell? Weren't you blocked?"

She opened up a communication window and on the other side of it, as even the Queen could see, there was a boy with light brown hair and glowing green eyes on the other side.

"Is that him?"

"Hmm? Oh, yes. That's my bastard."

Alex was confused right now.

Elio should have still been stuck in that place, in that peculiar Paradise of his.

He certainly told her about the red nights of that place so Alex knew that place wasn't a perfect kind of paradise and about the creature that he had been chasing for so long, but that was it.

He had neither found the creature, nor anything had changed.

There was no way he had become strong enough to cross a boundary that even creatures of that level could barely cross so she didn't understand how he was calling her.

"Did you get out? What the hell?"

The background in the video still seemed to be a forest so she didn't know if he was actually out of that place or not.

They were just talking about him and out of the blue, he was calling her?

She even thought it was a mistake on her part for a moment, but if even the Queen could see this, there was no way this was fake.

Besides, this was a direct call from his (Friendzone) list. There was no stupid named Elio in that list aside from her dumb Partner.

"Hey! Say something! Did you actually get out?!"

She was shouting… but he was simply smiling- smirking- at her.

He seemed to be pleased by something.

And that something…

[ "I win the bet, right?" ]

Was obviously related to the bet that the two of them had made when he fell into that paradise.
