Chapter 184,Coolest Girl in Town
Seeing his idol, KK was the first to move forward. ‘Ellimane, I’m so happy to see you! I never thought that you would invite me for a game! Don’t worry. I’ll do my best not to drag you down.’ Elise was speechless at KK’s torrent of messages but responded to him, regardless. ‘Don’t be so nervous. It’s not our first time playing together.’ It was KK’s turn to be surprised. Danny also stared at the words on the screen in disbelief.
He felt that he had missed something huge. “Ellimane, have we played together before?” Danny couldn’t help but ask. Elise found Danny’s behavior funny, but she didn’t hide the secret for long. “Come on, Danny Griffith. It’s me!” Danny was startled as he read the six words. He was even surprised that he had linked Ellimane to Elise subconsciously. He stared at the screen in disbelief, his hands trembling as he asked, ‘Who… Who are you? How did you know my real name?’ ‘Elise Sinclair!’ She didn’t bother to explain and merely replied to him with her name.
This time, Danny threw his phone away in shock, then he quickly got up and walked toward Elise’s room. He didn’t even bother knocking as he opened the door and walked in. The first thing he saw was Elise lazing on the couch. When she saw the intruder, she waved her phone at him. “What’s wrong? Let’s start the game!” Danny hastily walked forward and snatched Elise’s phone. When he saw her player ID, his eyes grew as wide as saucers. “You… You… You’re actually Ellimane?!” Elise grinned. “What, do I not look the part?” Danny felt his legs give way, and he almost fell over.
He started recalling snippets of his interactions with Elise concerning the game. Elise was supposedly a newbie when they last played together, but her skills far surpassed his, so it would make sense that she was already skilled at the game, but she had simply used a new account to play with him. Also, it was no wonder that she looked so calm when he ranted about Ellimane to her. He thought she wasn’t interested, but that was only because she was Ellimane herself. Danny immediately fell to his knees. “Boss, I’m so glad I’m your underling.” Seeing him act like that, Elise quickly said, “Come on, get up.
I have nothing to give you, even if you do this.” Danny stood up in glee. “Wait for me, boss. I’ll take my phone here so we can play together.” With that, Danny ran out. As soon as the door closed, he jumped up and down in excitement, shouting, “Yes! Yes!” Alexander was passing by when he saw Danny, so he asked, “What happened?” Hastily, Danny gathered himself and feigned calmness. “Nothing, I just wanted to play games with Boss.”
Alexander thought that Danny was brushing him off, so he wanted to say something, but Danny had already left. Danny came back soon enough and walked right into Elise’s room. He looked like a smitten fan as he said, “Boss, let’s start now. Please carry me!” Elise was speechless. Meanwhile, KK was so overcome by emotions that he could barely function. He kept spamming Danny with messages. ‘I literally cannot! I feel so nervous every time I see Ellimane. I know I will mess up!’ Danny looked at Elise, then replied calmly, ‘It’s fine. Just do your best for the game, and you’ll be fine.
Ellimane is an ordinary person, just like us.’ KK took a deep breath to calm himself, then asked, ‘Right, where’s your Boss? We were going to play together, right? Why isn’t she online?’ With that, KK pinged Elise in the group chat. Danny wasn’t quite willing to break the news to KK just yet, so he made up a quick excuse, ‘Boss won’t be coming today. We’ll just play with Ellimane today.’ KK didn’t think too much as he hastily followed Ellimane into the game.
Danny caught up as well, and they formed a team of three. Then, they were quickly matched with another group of players. Due to Ellimane’s sudden return, the players in the game were already in a frenzy, and they all poured in to watch the match. Soon, the match had gained more than 10,000 viewers, hence proving Ellimane’s massive influence. However, Elise didn’t care much. She had agreed to play with Danny, so she would give it her all. 3 matches down, and they were still winning by a large margin. Danny, on the other hand, was in awe as he exclaimed, “You’re awesome, Boss!”
Elise kept her eyes focused on the screen as she replied, “Watch your back. Surprise attack incoming.” Danny was nonchalant. “It’s fine. With Boss around, I’ll be alright.” However, as soon as he finished talking, Danny’s character was slashed by the opponent. He immediately lost a third of his HP, also losing his nonchalance at the same time. “Boss, why didn’t you help me?” Elise didn’t even raise her head. “Play properly and focus on the game.”
Danny knew right away that Elise was doing it on purpose. He was a revengeful person, so he immediately countered the opponent in the game, and he soon finished them off, after which he put down his phone in glee. “How’s that, Boss? My skills aren’t too bad, are they?” Elise was calm as she replied, “Not bad.” Danny took it as the best encouragement ever. “Boss, with your encouragement, I’ll keep working hard and catch up to you in the future!” Is it me or is this boy here a bit adorable today? “I wonder why I’ve never seen such an adorable side to you before.”
Hearing her words, Danny moved closer and acted cutesy as he said, “Then, Boss, do you like adorkable underlings like me?” Elise didn’t know what to say, but she didn’t forget to reach out and slap his head. “I’ve already done my part of the deal. Don’t bug me to play with you anymore, okay?” Danny immediately put on a pitiful look. “Boss, we’ve only played one round! Look how hard I’ve worked and how much I’ve improved!
Another round, please?” Considering his plea, Elise could only shake her head in exasperation. At the same time, countless private messages were flooding her inbox, all from other players. Elise didn’t bother replying to the messages as she said, “I’m going offline now. We’ll play together next time.”
