In the end, Yuki picked a light armor that was designed for dancers for Chi. It seemed more of a wuxia style dress with long flowing sleeves but with Chi's body and build, it really suited her. When Chi first tried on the new armor, Yuki couldn't help muttering how she thought Chi was cute, causing Chi's face to turn bright red and instantly deciding to buy the armor set. With the armor set, Chi bought two new swords as well. Everything cost her 1 gold 60 silver.

"Okay, since everything is set, we should head out and start getting you leveled." Yuki said as the two stood outside the store. The NPCs and players around them, both men and women, were staring at them as they stood under the hot sun. This was an understandable thing since both Yuki and Chi looked very beautiful. Yuki's male avatar took her original looks that were already very cute and made them more manly, making her male avatar extreme eye candy for girls. While Chi did the same thing with her avatar with a few tweaks to her face to make her originally already beautiful face even more exquisite and hard for people to recognize her. When the two stood side by side, it was like looking at a painting that drew in the looks of those around them.

"Ryu, am I holding you back?" Chi asked. She felt bad because she felt that Ryu was doing things to accommodate her when Ryu had things he had to do himself.

"Hmm? I said before that I need to level up. This area is already full of level 5 and up monsters. My quest is to kill Droggers at the edge of the Forgotten Gorge. So it will be a while before I can even make it there since we are at least one real world day's journey from there. Plus, we will be walking around town first to find quests."

Yuki felt this was also a good chance to test if the information she read was correct. If things were as stated, then her gaining levels would speed up a bit. She looked over at Chi, whose ears were dropping and tail was sagging, and sighed. She reached over and scratched behind Chi's ear, causing Chi to blush, but you could easily tell she was happy when her ears twitched and tail began wagging. Chi even leaned her head on Ryu's shoulder and closed her eyes. Yuki chuckled and indulged the little imp a bit before withdrawing her hand. "Come, let's go."

"Mm..." In a much better mood after being pampered, Chi followed along next to Ryu as they walked around town.

In the end, they got 5 quests that were for the surrounding area, one of which was a quest to kill 30 Plains Rollers. Yuki frowned when she received this quest. Mainly because it was a pain. Although the Plains Roller was weak to the point that a few stabs would kill it, the main issue was the fact that it all came down to timing. Even so, she still took the quest, and with these quests, in hand, Yuki and Chi worked on completing them.

"Ryu, it's getting late. I should get up and get ready." Chi suddenly announced. She had been keeping a close eye on the clock since she had to hurry to the college showers and hope Yuki would show up.

"Alright, I guess I should log out as well. I didn't even realize it was so late." Yuki had once again lost track of time. "Do you want to meet up later?" Yuki asked.

"Mm I can, but it won't be until late. I have some things to do in the evening." Chi's expression did not look too good. This was because she had to meet people from the palace in order to get her monthly allowance. She had to show she was still doing well in college and what all her expenses went to. It was not exactly something she wished to deal with, but she had no choice since she still relied on the Evergreen family.

Yuki could sense whatever Chi had to do she did not want to do. She could only hope it wasn't anything bad. "Then I will mess around for a bit. I have been wanting to make some new potions to sell anyway. Message me when you come on."

"Mm I will I will see you later, Ryu!" Chi forced a smile and logged off. Yuki felt bad for seeming uncaring, but there was not much she could do for a person who she only knew in game. And there may not be much she could do for a person in real life right now either, especially if that person was dealing with the nobles.

Yuki let out a sigh as she brought up her system window to log out. "Hopefully, she will be okay."

After exiting the game, Yuki did her normal routine and headed to college to take a shower. When she arrived at the shower room, she noticed she was there by herself and let out a sigh. "I guess she must have changed her mind..."

*Bam!*

The door to the shower room slammed open, and in came Trisha breathing heavily. Sweat was even starting to bead up on her forehead. When she saw Yuki standing there frozen with her shirt half off, Trisha smiled and walked over to her. "I'm sorry, Yuki, I was held up with a phone call this morning. Umm..." Trisha began fiddling with her fingers as she lowered her head. "Since you are here, does that mean you are willing to be my friend?"

"I would have been here anyway since I am always here at this time to take a shower. But if you really want to be friends, I do not mind. Just know I am one to speak my mind, so if any of your little followers' talks shit, I will smack them." Yuki warned.

Trisha smiled a true smile as she let out a laugh and nodded her head. "Mmm! That's fine! I hate those fake people the most! But I am kind of held to keeping up the royal image, so I have no choice but to deal with them with a fake smile."

"Then I guess that means we are friends from now on then." Yuki replied as she took her shirt off and undid her pants. But before she could even fully pull them off, Trisha suddenly hugged her while shouting. "Yay!"

Yuki was frozen in place and feeling kind of awkward since she only had her bra on and her pants were around her knees. She stood there with her hands by her side for a few seconds before raising them to lightly pat Trisha's back. "I don't mean to spoil the moment, but I think people would misunderstand something if they saw us right now."

Trisha's cheeks flushed red as she let Yuki go and backed away. "Sorry, I got a little ahead of myself..."

"No, it's fine. I just don't want people to think the College Princess was taking advantage of a girl in the shower room." Yuki joked, causing Trisha's cheeks to turn a deeper shade of red.

"We should shower..." Trisha said as she quickly began to undress. Yuki also finished getting undressed. But when she looked over to see that Trisha was caught in her clothes, she couldn't help but let out a laugh as she flipped her towel over her shoulder as she walked towards the shower. Trisha saw Yuki walking away She pulled hard on her shirt almost ripping it in the process before finishing getting undressed and running after Yuki with a towel in her hand. "Yuki, wait for me!"

Yuki's first thought when she found out Trisha's true personality: "She is kind of cute."
