VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

Chapter 251 The round table

"Hmmm?"

After exploring the grand palace, one of the greatest of the historic masterpieces, after seeing the grand garden, the rooms where they would be staying for the time being, after seeing the grand kitchen where the food for the queen and the royal family is prepared and being mesmerized by their otherworldly equipments and professional cooks, they were finally at their destination.

"Elio?"

The underground area of the palace that was reserved for these individuals for the big discussion, the place that had good lighting and a strangely large round table covering almost the entire place, this was a special place that not just anyone could enter even with the Queen's permission.

"El! I knew you'd be here~!"

The place was relatively empty right now, however, thanks to her dad's sharp eyes, she instantly spotted a certain figure among the tens that were gathered here.

"Oh-."

Olive ran up to him and hugged him with a bright smile, ignoring Alex and the people that they were standing with.

"Hello to you too, Olive."

She had been playing this game for a while now but this was the first time the two of them were meeting face to face inside the game.

He looked just like he did in their real world, or perhaps he looked a little better with his proper hair and those prettier eyes of his.

He was also wearing good clothes like her so she found it pretty good that, despite the situation he was in until just a few days ago, he looked in such a better condition.

"Weren't you supposed to be stuck in some kind of mountain paradise where it's alway day time with some fun creatures and some kind of monster swarm that attacked you on strange red nights?"

She was practically shouting those things so almost everyone present in that place ended up hearing all of that.

And, as soon as all of them heard that, their ears picked up once again and, many of them discreetly started walking towards them as well.

"You aren't supposed to shout those things, Olive."

Alex sighed at this dumb girl of hers, and her father who was looking at her from the distance couldn't help but sigh with a smile on his face.

"Oho? Is this one?"

"As Miss Anna was saying, she seems to be closer with your partner."

"Huhu, you three should get together instead, you know? Sharing is caring~."

The people that Elio and Alex were standing with were famous throughout the world as the [Sages of seven colors]. There were only six of them, but they were still called 'seven' because of one of the unique members of the group with two distinct personalities.

They were called the sages of seven colors but these colors were the same as the colors of the rainbow… instead, they were random.

"Oh! Oh! You just came back, right? Did you see Az and Miu? Do you know the two of them have grown up a loooooot!"

Olive stood up and after her, Elio also stood up with a smile. He had just come back from that Paradise, and it hadn't even been an hour since he teleported to the palace.

He had been away for a while now so his contact with the outside world of this world was almost cut off.

Coincidentally, when he got out of that place with Sera's gate, he found himself at the edge of the western continent, at a simple forest that didn't really have that many threatening things.

It was also to the eastern side so it was actually a good place that was close to the theocracy, and was maintained properly.

There was no dangerous being in that place, much less mindless monsters that could appear out of the blue and destroy places where people lived.

"Alright alright you little girl." Her dad came up to them and stopped her from saying any more than she was supposed to.

That much was enough already. Not many people knew who Elio was yet aside from the fact that he was related to Alex but it was obvious that Olive was his daughter from the clear resemblance and the similarities in the presence that the two of them had.

"You should greet the elders first. That was inappropriate behavior."

She was also the center topic of this discussion that they were going to have right now.

All these people present here, the monarchs from various countries, the sages, even the Queen that was just entering this place from the other side knew about the coin and the matter that they were going to discuss.

They knew about Olive, and that much was enough. Telling them about Elio and his time in that Blank zone would be the same as telling them about the person who had somehow returned from a unique blank zone that not even people like them had ever cleared.

"Oh! Sorry…! I didn't mean to ignore you all or disrespect you or anything."

Even he was surprised to see him here, but he knew Elio personally so he knew how he could find his unique ways out of the places around him.

He had not fallen into that place by his will in the first place. It happened because of the system so there was obviously some way out of that place that perhaps only he could use.

His presence in that place was part of a big quest so, he wasn't surprised that he was there. Instead, seeing him here confirmed just how unique he was in this game as well.

"Haha. Young people… seeing them is always rejuvenating."

The grandpa with white beard laughed as he looked at her with his unique, deep eyes.

Though it was a faint feeling, she also felt as if he was seeing through her entire being when their eyes met for the first time.

And, that didn't happen while looking into his eyes.

"Huhu, hello to you there as well, young one."

When the Lady with the Golden hair and golden eyes smiled at her, she also felt as if someone had just taken out a small fragment from her head.

"Keke, she's cute."

When the Tiger-man with green fur looked down at her with his beastly teeth, she almost felt like she was facing a demon… or death… or abyss… or something similar.

"Wwee lliikkee hheerr."

The shorter lady with pink hair seemed interested in her, however while one of her mismatched eyes- the pink one- seemed to show interest in her, the other one- the blue one- seemed to be completely uninterested in her entire existence.

"…"

The unique Crimson butterfly that was flying beside the lady with the golden hair continued flipping her wings, while the last sage, the youngest of them, the elf girl wearing round glasses continued adjusting her robe around her uncomfortably large chest after giving her a nod.

She seemed to way to greet her properly, but the clothes that she was wearing seemed too uncomfortable for her at the moment.

It was not good, so, for the time being, Olive left her at that, and then… she looked up at the person that had just walked up to them.

"Hello there~."

She wasn't expecting to see this particular face in this kind of gathering…
