"That guys a creeper, can't you see that!?" Cy whirled on Ukeru. "He's not right! There's something off about him!"

"Oh, shut it! You don't know anything!" Ukeru snapped and Haru blinked in surprise as the white-haired young man teleported away without another word.

"That stupid little..." Cy sighed and slumped.

Arashi bit his lip and slipped over to the armor dealer, hanging his head and trying to make sure Cy didn't see him.

He bought the level 15 armor and used his inventory to equip it, before peering down at himself. He'd been wearing the beginners set up until now... the level 15 outfit was light blue and cute, but no where near as cool looking as the higher level outfits.

"He does dumb crap like this all the time." Cy was suddenly right behind Arashi.

"Oh gosh!" Arashi gasped, spinning around and looking at the other.

People were staring and whispering - wondering why the MVP was talking to such a low level player.

"When did you get here!?" Arashi squeaked, laughing weakly.

"Before you showed up and tried not to get noticed." Cy replied.

"...Did you wait for me?" Arashi asked, trying to change the subject.

"I'm here, but that was because Ukeru showed up." Cyprian replied.

"Oh..." Arashi replied, turning back to the NPC and handing over some silver coins for a packet of 100 Mana and Health potions.

"You can tap into the guild funds if you make a record of purchase." Cy informed.

Arashi turned to blink at him. "Umm... I will remember that, thank you... I have plenty that Chris and Kris gave me, though. They are very kind."

"Try not to just say their names so much, I hate it when they use them." Cy sighed. "We're not supposed to be ourselves out here."

"Oh... Okay," Arashi said, frowning a little. "That makes sense to me..."

He shifted a little and said good-bye to the NPC - something Cy hadn't seen anyone do in a long time - before turning toward the other.

"Thank you again for helping me," The boy told him, politely.

"Do you talk to all the NPC's?" Cy smirked. "You know, some of them actually talk back pretty convincingly."

"I heard that the highest boss convincing," Arashi admitted, playing with the end of his long braid. "He's supposed to be the new boss in the upgrade that's coming out, but for now they have him wandering in town and sometims on other maps. Testing him out, I guess."
