Chapter 73: Return To SFO Part 2

After putting her VR gear on with the help of Trisha, Yuki was pulled right into the game when the VR gear was turned on. 

Ryu stared at the room for a few seconds, blinking a few times as the colors in front of her came into view. "It worked!" Ryu was happy. He could now see normally again, and even his voice was working. He stood up and jumped up and down a few times before doing a full three hundred and sixty degree spins. "I never felt so alive before!"

"Ryu!" Chi hugged Ryu from behind. Tears rolled down her cheek. She was so happy. Ryu, her Ryu was able to have a normal way of life in game.

Ryu grabbed Chi's hand and pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly. "Chi, thank you so much. You have no idea how much your care and love means to me. Thank you for not abandoning me." Ryu buried his head into Chi's neck, his grip on her body tightening slightly.

Chi's tears rained down more as she hugged him back, nuzzling her nose into his chest. "I would never abandon you. You are the person I wish to be with for the rest of my life. How could I ever abandon you?"

"Mmm… Chi, no Trisha, when I am fully healed, I want to get us a new place and get married. What do you think?" Ryu was nervous. This was a big step, and they had only known each other for a short time. But he wanted to always be with Trisha. 

"Mmm... Married is good! MMm! MMm!" Chi jumped up and down and wrapped her arms around Ryu's neck, pushing her lips against Ryu's.  When their lips parted, Chi had an idea come to mind. "Let's get married in game too! This way, we will be bound in both worlds." 

"Okay!" Ryu nodded in agreement. He gazed down at Chi. His hand raised up and cupped her cheek as he lowered his face stealing her lips again. The two's tongues intertwined as their breathing slowly started to become heavy. Just as things were starting to get hot and steamy, Yuki began getting spammed with private messages.

*Bing!* *Bing!*

Ryu sighed and broke the kiss between them, causing Chi to look up at Yuki in confusion. "Someone is spamming me with messages."

"Oh..." Chi frowned slightly. She was upset that they were interrupted. She hadn't been able to kiss her lover like that in so long…

Ryu looked at the private messages, each one was from WhiteLotus. "Where the hell have you been!?"

"Hurry up and come to the inn Roland Village."

"Rose and Violet are with me. We already secured a private room, so be quick!"

Ryu sighed and looked at Chi. He leaned over and kissed her lips lightly before saying. "Seems WhiteLotus and the others have been waiting for us to come back on for the past month and want us to meet up." 

"Okay…." Chi pouted her bottom lip. She kinda wanted to slap WhiteLotus to death.

"Don't worry, we have plenty of time. Plus, I really should get some more funds going for us, and you still need to learn your crafts as well. " Ryu also wanted to continue as before, but first they needed to get the things that should be done, done.

"Mm… Don't worry about prices. I have kept an eye on the market, and your items have not been replicated yet. Actually, there has been a lot of begging on forums for you to make more. Luckily leveling is slow for normal levelers. We are still the top players. Oh yeah, they made the forums accessible in game after a petition was sent to the devs to make it happen." Chi explained.

"That's good to hear. How is the silver to crowns market going?" Ryu hoped the ratio is still about the same, if not more. She wanted to dominate the market once more.

"It's almost  12 crowns to 1 silver right now. So we should be able to make a killing."  Chi answered. She kept a sharp eye on everything since she knew Ryu relied on the game to make him money. Plus, she needed an understanding of the market for her own things. 

"That is very good news!" Ryu's eyes lit up. "We will make a killing. Chi, we will be rich in and out of game. We will show your family that you, Trisha, the ex-princess of the Evergreen family, will be able to be just as rich if not richer than she was with her status and title." Ryu was not exaggerating. He wanted to use the game to be as rich as possible and give Trisha a life free of worry.

"Mmm! I will help with that.  With runes and arrays, I should make a pretty penny as well." Chi put her hands on her hips and raised her cute little face. Her ears twitching and her tail wagging. She also wanted to make as much money as possible.

"Sounds good to me!" Ryu grabbed Chi's hand and touched the lotus flower on his neck. This teleported them out of the mystic realm. They then headed to the inn. 

When they reached the inn, Ryu sent WhiteLotus a message to find out which room they were in. When they entered, WhiteLotus stood up and walked in front of the two. "You two! Thank god you're really safe."

Her words caused both Ryu and Chi to be very confused. WhiteLotus realized her words seemed off so she quickly explained. "Ahh, sorry. You see, we kinda know who you are. Well, at least we think we do. If I am not wrong. Then Chi here is Princess Trisha Evergreen, and Ryu is not a boy but a girl named Chisaka Yuki..." 

Ryu quickly pulled Chi behind him and glared at WhiteLotus as he pulled out his sword. "Who are you!?"

"Wait! We mean you no harm!" WhiteLotus yelled out and took a few steps back. "Look, we only know this because of Violet here."
