"First Victim?" Tira raised an eyebrow. The big guy won't stop running towards her. And obviously, she panicked. She asked the fly on how to fight, but the fly doesn't know anything either. Tira wasn't really interested in fighting besides fighting games but that didn't really teach him to throw a punch. But doesn't muscle memory stay in your body despite the change of the user? So Tira tried that theory into practice. The first encounter strikes... And Tira was sent flying out of the building and into the next, crashing all over the place. The fly caught up in a rush, but Tira was heavily injured. I guess that theory doesn't work. She tries to stand up but her status isn't the best right now. The big scary man is coming his way. There's no way she could beat that guy. Trying to deliberate a plan, she couldn't think of one. Tira wasn't the smart one to be real. The man jumps onto the second building. His big, bulky body shakes the entire structure and also sounds like a warning to Tira. There's nothing she could do at this moment but wait for the end. The fly tried to calm her down but w no avail. How could someone relax in this situation? Thinking about asking for help is a mistake because you don't know if this person won't betray you or use you. Not everyone who survived the first day is innocent. She runs away to jump out of the window. It hurts but it's what she could do. Landing in another building, she parkoured her way to the next. The fly obviously tries to catch up. But that isn't enough for the man to give up. Taking in a big breath, he jumps as high as he possibly can with a huge grin on his face. "Think you can run?" Then he spat out fire. Fwam! It's all over the place. With nowhere for Tira to escape, she has to confront the man in a one-on-one duel. He landed inside the safe area and looked at her. "Didn't think someone with your looks can be so pathetic." He said. "What can I possibly do when I can't fight?" "Haha! Someone with those muscles!? Of course you can fight! Now come on!" The man takes his stance. In what looks like wrestling or sumo. But either one, she could die. Tira tries to look for the flu for some advice, but the fly couldn't catch up until the flames came. There's no way out or advice for her. Just a duel to the death. She looks at the man. That form and stance is obviously a good stance to use but is it mobile? She realized this and came up with a plan. This man is very prideful about his abilities, provoking him will be a nice plan to exhaust him. Telling the man that he is so weak that he can't even stomp hard. But the man comes back with a roast about how she can't even do it herself. That embarrassed her. She let out a loud roar of anger and stomped her feet on the ground, causing the whole building to tremble. Surprised as they, the man decided to not let another player surpass him in stomping. With his breathing techniques and his overall structure, he stomps the ground too. But this time, they fall through the building. The building's roof was weak, allowing the building to crumble to the ground. But what is Tira planning on doing? With the man trapped, she runs away to another building. He finds this getting a little tedious and ticks off. He breaks out and chases down Tira. Right on her tail, almost grabbing her. Suddenly her speed exploded. Shocked, he speeds up too. Now the two are dashing through the chaos that unfolds. With this war of odd mixtures of game characters, this country doesn't seem like it used to be anymore. The fly couldn't catch up with them anymore. Tira runs inside a building. The man bursts his way in, but Tira is not here. A surprise attack behind the man. Tira successfully gets into a mount position and locks the man into place. Thinking that this lock isn't enough, the man tries to break free. But a spear is right at his throat. She managed to get one since she stopped at a local weapon shop. Hard to come by these days. So this is the plan of the one who secluded herself in a room becoming a weeb? Who would've thought that someone like her could pull this off. The man surrendered, and admitted his defeat. "You got me." But those words weren't enough for her to trust him. "Become my friend." Tira requested. Confused is the man, and confused is the fly who just caught up at the wrong time. "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!? HE ALMOST KILLED US!!!" The fly let out in anger. But she disagreed. Having comrades in this game is one of the most important things in order to survive. Besides, Tira never had a friend after his boss left. The man stayed silent. This guy had never seen such a woman with the passion of a warrior. A person had almost killed you and suddenly you wanted to become his friend? Only a warrior who knows what he's doing could do that. In this case, only she could do that. Thinking that this woman is trustworthy, he breaks out of the lock and holds Tira up in the air like a stuffed toy. Tira became embarrassed because her lock wasn't good and he was just faking that it was a successful lock. If she didn't utter those words, she would've been dead by now. But the man sees something worthy of her. Amazing courage. Tira requested the man to put her down now but he burst out laughing instead. "A woman with the passion of a warrior could be so cute!? Fine, be my comrade and shall conquer these lands ourselves!!!" Then he continued to laugh but didn't put Tira down. Tira became grumpy. The fly could only watch this weird conclusion. Then night came. Same as the night before, it was quiet. It seems as though the players didn't want to go crazy and destroy everyone. Maybe everyone has a plan. But remember, not all players are innocent. The man roasts some ready to cook meat from a nearby store and devours it all. She could only eat a sandwich which he forgot to devour. The fly suggested to Tira that she shouldn't trust him, but he heard that and scolded the fly. As Tira eats her share, the man introduced himself. "Oops, haven't told my name yet. I'm Haro Takabe, or my game character's name, Buk Piamei. I like fighting a lot, so I played a lot of aggressive fighting games." Tira didn't really payed attention but heard most of it. "I'm Tira Mari. Or Yami Kanami. I like manga and anime." She introduced herself too. "So why are you a cute girl?" Haro asked. "Not really into games, but I found this character to be cute so I played the game." "Is that the reason?" "Uhum." She nodded. Haro was confused at first but quickly understood it. He went and boasted about how he really likes warriors and aggressive fighters a lot and how he played a lot of ganes like that. But Tira was too busy eating to pay attention. She was very hungry. They slept for the night. The next day, they decided to travel out of the hotspot of Shinjuku and go all the way to Okinawa. It's a very long trip but they wanted to see the beach. They didn't take the game so seriously after becoming close friends with each other. And obviously the fly, or the name they made last night, Fura wasn't really into the idea of treating this like a roadtrip. But what can it do when they're enjoying themselves. Off to Okinawa they go.
