[Moonshine]
"…" He(Godspeed) seemed to be sitting in silence, his head down, with a hand still on his mug.
"Hey." I(Moon) pushed his shoulder from across the table. He swayed a little bit across, and promptly fell on the seat of the booth.
"...."
----------
It was about mid-afternoon, around a week irl since the training started, and me and Godspeed were preparing to set out for my training.
"Hey… sorry to ask this again, but are you sure that I didn't say anything embarrassing earlier today?" God asked in a nervous voice.
"*sigh* I already told you: You didn't say anything out of the usual. You just talked about how you loved this game so much and how I should embrace it, plus other crap like that."
He~y, that stuff isn't crap!" He grabbed his chest as if he received a wound at his heart.
Haaah. Why am I even keeping up this ruse? Of all the things for him to tell, it was something so... personal, and painful. Even if it is embarrassing, I should still say it. All of the things he told me seemed to be extremely important and secret for him, so as not to tell him…
'Yet, it kind of makes me feel something warm. Even if he was drunk, after hearing what he told me, and choosing to confide in me, I guess I couldn't help but keep the secret.' In the end, instead of choosing to wake the sleeping Player up, I just left him at the booth and sent him a whisper later, saying that I would be going around making my rounds. I didn't want to dwell on what God said for too much longer, as I didn't see it was my place, so I left to try and find something to keep myself busy and distracted.
'Jeez… where was the guy even getting at. Like, seriously: I don't even know you outside from here, so like, just spilling all of that stuff out just… Just why!?
And yet I'm the one feeling indebted or something, haha.' Hah. I really cannot tell what brought such a thing on. It seems as if he himself is a glass cannon, personality wise. And for as why he confided in me so much, although they've only known each other for weeks, I know neither.
Yet I couldn't help but smile a little bit when thinking about.
"Yo. Why're you smiling like that?" God suddenly asked, taking the Moon(me) out of the clouds.
"Oh, just… reminiscing on things."
"I did say something didn't I!?! Just go ahead and tell me!"
"Hehe." My white smile began to widen.
"Hmph." It seemed that he would start pouting. "Hmmm… you know, you gotta killer smile."
Eh! What kind of comment is that?
"How many girls have you gotten with that white flash, huh?"
"…" x2
"…ha."
"Hm?"
"Hahahhahaaha!" Paha! How utterly ridiculous! That's what you thought? Seeing how much you were staring at me, I started to feel a bit red. But if its that...
"Ahahahahaha!" Ohh! now that's hilarious.
"Woah woah. What's so funny? What, you've slid into so many DMs you can't even count anymore?"
"GAHaahahahaha!!!" Damn! It hurts, not going to lie! I'm doubling over now, clutching my stomach as I barely keep myself from falling over.
"Hahaha hehehe!"
I continue to laugh until even tears began to flow out. My guffaw kept going for over a minute, until I was left gasping for air.
"Uh, ya good?" bent over, God asked.
"He…he…hehe....haaaaa. Yeah… yeah I'm good."
"Alright." He lent out a hand and pulled me up. "So why so goofy?"
I wipe a tear from her eye. "You could never imagine."
And now the both of us.
Flash our white smiles.
----------
"Ay. So like how much have your stats gone up so far?"
It was a couple of irl days after the confessions incident. I just got finished killing my first Hobgoblin of the day.
"Um, let me check," I answered wearily. The sudden change in my schedule is still affecting me a bit, which is shown by the bags under my eyes in real life, but in exchange, I will admit: I am smiling and enjoying myself more and more.
'Let's see.'

A lot has changed. First off, I have risen by 8 levels compared to last time. That right there is eighty stat points to put into the main stats of mine. But if you really count the increase in stats itself then… it is a lot more than just eighty.
'Adding up the totals, it should be about… ninety-nine points, plus the ten in reserve.' Yes, the rigorous training that the drill sergeant(Godspeed) has been putting me through has been doing its work correctly. Of course, it is raising relatively slowly, and I can already tell that the increase is about to slow down as well. But, I am still happy to see such a process still work. With these extra points, and the training I receive in various other matters, my Primary Class Change job's hunt is going good as well.
"So? You go up any? No way you're gonna tell me that you've seen no progress! We're already a month into the training, ya know?" the sergeant said exasperated.
*Creak*
I was sliding my teeth against each other. I will admit, that when he(Godspeed) gets a plan going, he does well by it. But his personality does NOT make this training any easier. The flipping between each tempo of his changes so fast, that it is sometimes hard for me decipher his present mood. Yes, ME, the one who lives off of identifying someone's feelings and playing along with them.
...
'After thinking that out loud, I just realized how bad that sounds.' I rub my chin with my left thumb.
"So??"
"Heh." I suppose I should go ahead and communicate the results with him.
"I am currently level 128. I have received 109 stat points in all, and 39 of them are from the training regimen," I reported.
"Ahah!" He rubs his hand in excitement. "I see you're progressing huh? Then tell me this: How far are you in to your [Knight] Class Change job?"
"Let me bring that up." I have been hunting about 3 Hobgoblins almost every day since we began the training. I imagine I am about done with that portion of the quest.
