"Bye-bye"
And Ai started leaving Cyen's home and he smiled and waved his hand and turned back and went back to home.
Ai left soon, at afternoon, because she also wanted to talk with Aqua.
"Where is he?"
And Ai, Cherry and Zen were online on server and waiting for Cyen, aka Aqua. And it has been five minutes since they are waiting.
"Zen," Cherry asked, "Did you even called him?"
And Zen answered calmly, "I can't mistake, I have sent him thousands of messages and 72 missed calls on server. He should come."
Five minutes turned into ten and ten even turned into a whole hour! But Aqua has still hasn't arrived.
And Ai and Cherry were losing their hopes and being bored and Zen was checking on his phone and suddenly got shocked and shouted, "Aqua is live!!!!! He is live on his channel and playing Blue Sky Arena!!!"
And Ai and Cherry were shocked and they all three started going to Aqua's channel on their computers immediately!
And Ai, Cherry and Zen saw... Aqua was wearing sunglasses with his masks still hiding his face and he was playing... In worse, his accuracy was 88.7%!
And all the comments were coming.
> What has happened to you Aqua? Why your gameplay has all of sudden dropped?
> This is an disappointment.
> You had one thing to entertain, gameplay, and you have also lost it.
> To be honest, I can play way more better, my accuracy is 89%
And Aqua closed Blue Sky Arena by playing one match only and he covers the whole screen and he smiled with a sweat and admitted, "I know I am not able to play like the same anymore. And I deeply apologize for it."
And Ai, Cherry and Zen were shocked...
"... How can he play well without one eye?" Stated Zen
And shocked Ai replied, "... By both eyes, we can see at 180° vision but with one... 150° only... Is that the reason?"
And Cherry couldn't hold it anymore and started typing and sent a comment to Aqua on his live stream which he was almost going to end.
> Hey! This is me, your sister, Cherry... You are looking good with sunglasses.
And Aqua was stunned by the comment, at least one was out of topic that he can't play the same any longer.
"... Sister?"
And Ai started typing.
> Hey!!! We were waiting for you on server from a hour! Come on the server!
And Zen smiled and started typing,
> Oye! Come on the server! Or... I will expose your real name!!!
And Aqua was shocked and scared by Zen's threat and immediately ran to server.
"Oye!!! To whom are you threating?!"
And when Ai, Cherry and Zen heard this voice from the server, they immediately ran to server and saw angry Aqua in front of the screen!
And Aqua had ended the stream and his whole audiance were stunned that Aqua's friends came to pick him up.
And Zen laughed and apologized to Aqua who was actually scared by his threat.
And Aqua looked at Ai and she smiled and shaked his hand and murmured, "Hi"
And Aqua blushed on seeing her smiling and saying hi and he took his face off and replied, "... Hi"
And Cherry and Zen started laughing that how much Aqua is blushing on just saying hi and Ai smiled more brightly and Aqua blushed more with anger on their laugh.
"By the way," Ai remarked, "You are looking hot by the sunglasses."
And Aqua was knocked by with a arrow passing through his heart and he was completely blushed and shy, '... What Ai just said?'
"Summer is going to come and your this looks with sunglasses will need me two table fans with air conditioner, all because of you."
And Aqua was shocked that what is Ai saying?! And he couldn't stop blushing and hid his face with his hands and continued blushing.
And Cherry and Zen couldn't stop laughing and Ai couldn't stop smiling, '... Can you always be like that, Aqua?'
"My one eye was spoiled so I can't use it. So maybe that's the reason that my gameplay has dropped all of a sudden." Explained Aqua when Ai, Zen and Cherry forced him to tell the reason of his gameplay, but he still lied that his eye is spoiled, it's destroyed.
But Ai, Zen and Cherry didn't wanted to be exposed that Ai knows Aqua's identity and accepted the lie as a truth even if they are aware that he is lying.
"So..." Aqua showed his decision with looking down, "... I guess that's it, I am leaving gaming--"
"You are going to join a tournament Aqua." Uttered Zen strictly shocking everyone.
But Ai and Cherry smiled.
Cherry started, "You are coming with us, Aqua."
But Aqua confessed his fate, "But--"
"You are coming, Aqua." Ai with anger proclaimed, "You can't deny to the majority, you will play in the contest. And that's it."
"Then I have one condition," Now Aqua expressed his condition, "Once that is over, then I will leave and no one of you can stop me. That's it."
And Cherry and Zen were shocked by Aqua's condition but Ai remain calm and serious and murmured, "Give it one condition, otherwise we will deny. One condition on which you will never retire from gaming, give any and all of us will accept it."
And Zen and Cherry gulped with sweating on the serious situation.
"Fine," Aqua showed the condition on which he will not leave, "If we came first, then I will never leave. No excuse or anything, take it or I will leave today only."
And Zen and Cherry were shocked.
And Ai got a sweat on her forehead and she smiled, "Fine"
'... We are gambling this time.'
