22:07
this happened, don't worry about it
Image attachment
22:09
Anyways, the plot continues once you check your e-mails
Image attachment
22:10
So, there are three "Palaces" of the PVP arena. Haseo replaced Endrance as emperor of the "demon palace" which is the low level player arena
22:10
There are two more, for intermediate and high level players. Coincidentally, that will match perfectly with the level ranges we'll be in for Vol 2 and 3 respectively šŸ™ƒ
22:11
Alkaid, as you may recall, was emperor of the demon palace before Endrance beat her with his Avatar. Sirius, the weird dog guy, is Emperor of the holy palace. Given how weird he's acting, it's fairly reasonable to assume he somehow got infected with AIDA, like Endrance was.
22:12
when we log in, Alkaid is standing right there
Image attachment
22:13
Haseo: Oh, perfect, I had a question for y-

22:13
Alkaid joins your party without your consent.

We're going on an adventure with Alkaid(?)

Sirius has teamed up with uh, the weird guys who rescued Haseo when the server was being restart
22:31
blue guy and winged guy, who are on team Tri-edge
22:31
I'm just gonna call them the Azure Knights, collectively, cause that's what they're called
22:31
Image attachment
22:32
Alkaid reminisces on her friendship with Sirius, which mostly seemed to be composed of them arguing
Image attachment
22:32
Image attachment
22:32
Image attachment
22:33
Alkaid admits, somewhat surprisingly, that all her bluster and anger was because the idea of fighting Haseo again terrified her

22:34
Alkaid says because of this, she quit Icolo

She actually gets really embarrassed about requesting this and basically says "never mind, don't worry about it, it was just a prank bro ahahah"

Feel pretty bad for her, honestly
22:39
Image attachment
22:39
Image attachment
22:40
Haseo has his own reasons for investigating this anyways
Image attachment
22:41
Image attachment
22:41
in order to move on to a new arena, Haseo has to give up his designation as the arena emperor of the demon palace
22:42
he does this extremely casually, which is funny, because of what a big deal was made of being an emperor, even of the low level arena, in the previous game
Image attachment
22:42
Alkaid, who tried so hard to retake her throne as emperor, is kinda gobsmacked
22:43
Haseo: I literally didn't even care about that, I just wanted to beat endrance

22:43

22:43
And Alkaid joins the party, properly
