Chapter 42: Strange Couple
After Elegant Sword leaves the party, every member showed a happy face. My Girl is the one that looked the happiest among them.
"Finally that fucker is gone!" My Girl said smiling. He looked at the Dragonborn worriedly and spoke again. "Letting him leave like that will get you into trouble?"
"It's ok. I couldn't stand him any longer. I'm sure my mother will understand." Ashardalon said. Elegant Sword is always taking advantage of their family relationship to get financial opportunities and bully others. But it ends now. He will speak with his father when he logout and discuss how to deal with him.
"Sorry about that, handsome guy." My girl said it and winked at him coquettishly, making Ye Yan froze.
"Stop it, Xuanchen." Harpy, the female harpy archer, said, slapping the back of My Girl's head.
Seeing this, Ashardalon and Hello Kitty started to smile.
"Sorry, We made you witness an embarrassing situation." Hello Kitty said to Ye Yan.
"It's ok." He answered seriously. When she spoke to him, Ye Yan started to feel shy and reacted like he always does when a pretty girl talks to him, entered machine mode. He became serious and his body was almost paralyzed on the spot.
Ye Yan normally is serious but friendly, not overly friendly. Because of this, they didn't notice his reaction, only his friends know him enough to note the difference.
"I am Ashardalon. Nice to meet you." The Dragonborn introduced himself. He knows that someone that has already job changed must be strong and they need more members for their party to do dungeons. He thought about inviting Ye Yan to join them because Ashardalon got a good impression of him, seeing that he look stable while thanking Hello Kitty and isn't easily provoked.
"These are my friends. This is Hello Kitty, my little sister." He started to introduce his friends.
"Hi!" Hello Kitty said shily.
Ye Yan nodded at her mechanically.
"This is My Girl." He introduced his friend, that gave Ye Yan another wink. "Don't mind him. He is a jokester. In truth, he is married to Harpy." He said introducing the other member.
Seeing the frown on Ye Yan's face, he explained. "We didn't tell Elegant Sword about it. He always gets pissed at My Girl, so he decided to keep it a secret to see if we could get rid of him early."
After the explanation, Ye Yan finally understood. The discussion between Elegant Sword and My Girl before, and the fact he is married totally confused him.
My Girl is a very playful person that loves to play tricks on people. Anyone can escape when he is intended to do something. He works for Arshadalon as an accountant. Sometimes, Arshadalon thinks that working with numbers has made him go crazy. My Girl is a forty years old man, he is married to Harpy and they have two children together. Their children are studying in the Imperial School in the northwest of Tientsin, in a restricted area that only teachers and underaged players can enter.
Harpy is Ashardalon's secretary. She behaves like a shrew normally and everyone calls her harpy, even her husband, but he calls her that as an affectionate nickname. She is his Pretty Harpy, Lovely Harpy, or other such names.
After They introduced themselves, nodded at them.
"My name is Jun Xie. Nice to meet you guys. Thanks for helping me. I didn't know that the seawater was this cold."
"Aren't you from Tientsin?" Arshadalon asked because he thought it is strange for Ye Yan to not know this.
"I am from the City of Ji. I just came here to look for some items." Ye Yan decided to tell them about it because they may have the starfish that he needs.
"Oh." Hello Kitty said a little downcast. She wanted Ye Yan to join them, but now, it will be difficult.
Ashardalon observed Ye Yan more attentively and finally noted the guild insignia on Ye Yan's chest. Not only that, he discovered that the class badge is not made of bronze as theirs, but silver.
"Do you belong to a guild?" Ashardalon asked, even knowing the answer.
"Yes. My friends and I created a guild. If you guys are interested, we are recruiting." Players that had changed class at this stage of the game must be strong, then they are more than welcome to join the guild.
"You are one of the players that cleared a Hell mode dungeon, right?" Harpy asked Ye Yan before Arshadalon had the chance to answer him.
"What? Really? Cool! I don't mind joining but I'll follow the boss's decision. He always knows what is best for us." My Girl said, fawning over Ashardalon. His wife only shook her head at her husband's antics.
"Yes. We got the first clear yesterday, before creating the guild. We just started recruiting, so there are only a few players in the guild." YeYan explained.
Arshadalon had the intention of refusing but after discovering that Ye Yan's guild was formed by strong players, he started to ponder. He doesn't want to create his own guild. His goal is to become a strong player and what's better than join people of the same level or strong than him? And as the guild was recently created, who join now will have more opportunity than those that join later. There is a level 10, twenty-man team dungeon, and if he joins now, he can be a member of the party that will try to go for the first clear.
"Do you have a complete twenty-man team?" Arshadalon asked.
"Not yet." Ye Yan answered.
"We would like to join." He decided to accept. He is looking forward to the challenge of try to get the first clear.
"Great! I'm sure there are many handsome guys there." He said with a wicked smile which earned him a stern look from his wife.
Hello Kitty also likes the idea of joining Ye Yan's guild.
