On the other side, Nori and Karen are going through the levels together, and they find that Zheng Zha is missing. Nori complains, "Does that guy not know he can't run off at a time like this?"
Karen says, "I'm sorry."
"No need to apologize, as long as we can clear the levels quickly, maybe we can find him." Nori shakes his head at Karen, his gaze lingering on her for quite a while.
He realized—
He seemed to have developed a liking for this girl. Is this what they call love at first sight?
Perhaps she was just a virtual AI, but she was no different from a real beautiful girl—so cute, so gentle, a deadly attraction to a young guy like him.
"Let's go, let's continue through the levels."
"Okay!"
The two seemed like a couple, adventuring through various "levels"—there was shooting, puzzle-solving, competitions, and dressing-up; they experienced almost every type of game.
