Chapter 145: Homies gonna help his homie's love life.
Even though the situation turned in their favor, Tomo Homies' friends were still fighting against enemies.
It was not a time to blush and stay still.
However, he knew the lady before him. He was her underclassman, and he had even talked to her a few times because of her status in-game.
Yes, he had just approached her because she became the dungeon conqueror! Tomo Homie wanted to learn more about the game and world, his hobby bringing him closer to Dancing Shadow.
She was a weird lady as no one saw her with someone. She was alone despite her wealth and fame from the game.
Tomo Homie even invited her to a party, but she refused by shaking her head once. And then, she disappeared as if Tomo Homie disgusted her.
That was what he thought, but the reality was different.
Dancing Shadow found it hard to talk with people due to her shyness. She was that kind of a lady that required attention. And Tomo Homie was enough to reach her heart with his constant attempts to learn about her class and gameplay.
And now that she stood before him with a scarlet blush, Tomo Homie couldn't help but blush as well. He thought of this situation as weird, but was it perhaps his time to get a girlfriend?
'Why at the end of our last year then?! I won't have a cute school time with her! No… What if I am misunderstanding? I am not Alex who can see through people's hearts!' Tomo Homie lacked some confidence.
He liked to calculate and gather information, but everyone had their weaknesses. Tomo Homie had made many girls look at him with weird eyes as he often got agitated with his hobbies. He could talk and talk selfishly about them.
Because of that, Tomo Homie kinda couldn't see through girls' feelings toward him. But it was much easier when it was about other people's love lives.
And he, in fact, really believed that Alex could see through people easily. Otherwise, how could he know that Olivia was 'the best girl' and date her for more than four years now?
He gulped, "Thank you for your help, but my homies need help too! Let's help them and then have some talk, okay? I mean… Do you want to talk?"
Dancing Shadow nodded before disappearing.
Her skills left Tomo Homie speechless. He barely managed to assist his homies as his nerd tendencies took over him. He wanted to see more of her and even read her skill descriptions.
One particular skill caught Tomo Homie's eye. The lady could keep people from dying to snatch more of his stuff.
That skill gathered everyone's attention as even Alex and others noticed the cute lady appearing between their ranks.
She killed… No, she bullied their enemy, so they took her as an ally. Besides, they also knew about her as Tomo Homie sometimes mentioned Dancing Shadow's nickname.
At last, Team Homies won another battle, gaining a lot of potions as the reward.
And they also got a new ally that raised their interest.
"Hehe," Zhen laughed.
"Hehe," Alex grinned.
"Haha," Josh amiably smiled.
"…" Pedro stared menacingly.
"Tomo Homie…" Dancing Shadow faced the person she had taken a liking for.
She couldn't say what had been dwelling in her heart for a long time. In fact, she wanted someone else to read her heart and convey those emotions to Tomo Homie.
But that was simply impossible. Therefore, the lady searched for help in popular search engines. She read so many articles about overcoming her shyness that Dancing Shadow was pretty knowledgeable about it.
Alas, she still couldn't overcome it.
She opened the system, clicking on it a few times.
[Dancing Shadow wants to add you to her friend list.]
[You have accepted the friend invitation.]
[You have invited Dancing Shadow to your party, Team Homies.]
Tomo Homie wouldn't refuse her invitation. He found her cute, too, and his interest in her was already huge. However, that interest was mostly about her skills as Tomo Homie couldn't believe in himself yet.
No matter how he joked about getting a girlfriend when the reality became close to his words, he was as clueless as possible.
Dancing Shadow smiled as Tomo Homie's nickname appeared in her system.
"…" Tomo Homie blushed for no reason.
And then, Zhen and Alex patted his shoulders, "You two look like good friends already. Let us introduce ourselves too.
Zhen chuckled, "I am Zhen. You might have seen me a few times in school. Thanks for helping us today! And good luck!" He raised his eyebrows a few times to Dancing Shadow's confusion.
Alex smiled from ear to ear, too, "I feel like you two will become great friends. Tomo Homie likes to talk a lot about his hobbies, and now that the game has become his main hobby and your skills have caught his interest, he might bother you too much, so don't hate him, please.
There's an ignore button in the system. Just below the chat."
"You make me look weird, Alex," Tomo Homie spoke with dead eyes.
The other two members introduced themselves to their new friend too. Forced by Josh, Pedro nodded a few times. But when he was about to say something, Josh covered his lips, not letting him say anything.
He just smiled brightly and took their gloomy friend away.
"We should find a safer spot to camp and check our new loot. Some other players might lurk around-" Tomo Homie quickly changed the subject.
But his new friend shook her head, "No one's around us."
"I see," Tomo Homie nodded, "So you have even high awareness! That's so awesome! But I would like to know more about that resurrection skill!"
Dancing Shadow blushed, faintly replying to him, "It's called Loki's Curse."
"Yes! What does it do?" Tomo Homie brightly smiled, rubbing his hands for new information!"
Dancing Shadow trembled as everyone stared at her, "Resurrect…"
"Alright! We have to move forward a little faster! Tomo, explain more about our abilities and skills to Dancing Shadow! If someone is around, tell us through the system!" Alex noticed the girls' shyness and communication problems.
He wanted to help her, so he took everyone away.
And as they moved toward a safer location, everyone opened their systems for their own matters.
Alex decided to read Elias Deathwill's diary.
The beginning made him stop moving.
[I have never loved my wives.]
His face scrunched, and Alex unconsciously clenched his fists.
