"Well, all you need to do is mention that you're leaving early because you're disappointed in the Abes' suspicious choice of substitution. It's apparent that everyone who knows the sport knows that substitution was stupid and suspicious." Adam explained.
[OfficialMuriel (Aqua Primus): He makes a good point. I was just about to post on Xer-verse about how stupid that substitution was.]
[OfficialRowena (Oceana 7): This could work. If Lorelie herself mentions how suspicious that substitution was, it would definitely make people question why the Abes did it.]
"Of course, it's entirely up to you if you want to make your opinion on the subject known," Adam added.
"Considering how I reacted to the substitution when it happened and how I'm sure at least one camera has been constantly on this VIP area, I'm fairly sure people are aware of my opinion on the matter, so voicing my opinion to the press will only confirm their theory," Lorelie replied before thinking for a moment and then saying with a nod.
"Let's do that."
"Are you sure? I have heard that celebrities sometimes avoid commenting on subjects because they're afraid of the backlash they will receive and the possibility of losing fans."
"I'm not afraid of the backlash, after all, even a GOAT like Muriel thinks it was a stupid move."
[OfficialMuriel (Aqua Primus): I'm still not sure about being called this whole G.O.A.T. thing.]
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Too late, it's already been decided on. Kekeke.]
[LadyErkath (Oceana 7): Plus, when it comes to Water Sphere, you are recognised as the Greatest Of All Time.]
[OfficialRowena (Oceana 7): With Lorelie's current popularity, it's unlikely she will lose any fans over this.]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): It's not like she can't spare a few.]
"So do we go out the same way we came in?" Adam asked.
"Yup, the press are most likely already waiting in the garage outside the elevator," Lorelie replied as she stood up.
"So we would have had to face them regardless?" Adam asked as he also stood up.
"Better get used to it, Mr Bodyguard," Lorelie said brightly as she hooked her arm through Adam's again and led him towards the elevator.
"Thank you very much for your excellent service," Lorelie said to the bartender as they passed.
"It was my pleasure, Diva Lorelie, and thank you for the autograph." The bartender replied.
"When did you give out an autograph?" Adam asked as they entered the elevator.
"When we first arrived and I got us the drinks, the bartender asked me then."
"I see," Adam replied as the elevator travelled downwards, and Lorelie allowed herself to cuddle closer to Adam by pulling his arm between her ample breasts.
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Lucky sod, getting Diva Lorelie's attention like that.]
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): I want my arm pressed between those melons.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): I want to press his arm between my melons.]
[HackerSu (Trillion): Agreed.]
[Thewhitesoverign (Oceana 7): Maybe I should try that.]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palalxia): I wouldn't say no.]
[MerceadAnderson (Palaxia): 😭]
[Beczontop (Imperial Down): I will press his head between mine, since his arms are already taken.]
[Tessisdabest (Imperial Down): …]
[OfficialMuriel (Aqua Primus): Talk about popular, first Diva Lorelie and now all these other women.]
[OrangeeyedStace (Oceana 7): I can't decide if I should be happy that this popular guy is my man, or jealous that he is getting so much attention.]
[OfficialRowena (Oceana 7): 🤣]
[LadyErkath (Oceana 7): 🤣]
Soon, the elevator reached the parking garage level, where The Meteor was parked in and as soon as the elevator doors opened, Adam and Lorelie saw dozens of reporters waiting with microcams floating around them that suddenly started bombarding them with questions.
"Diva Lorelie, might we get a quick word?"
"Are you really here on a date?"
"Who is this man you're with? Is he your boyfriend?"
"What is your opinion on the match?"
"What is your opinion on Murphy and the Abes' substitution?"
"How soon can we expect your first show here on Oceana Seven?"
"How many shows can we expect?"
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Holy shit, I guess the press is the same on any world.]
[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Celebs always get hounded by the press.]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): Well, it is part of the job.]
"All right, calm down, calm down," Lorelie said with a smile as she held up her free hand.
As the reporters saw that she was actually going to answer some questions, they calmed themselves down and waited for her responses.
"Let's do this one at a time," Lorelie said before pointing at a reporter and saying, You first."
"Thank you, Diva Lorelie. Might I ask, what is your opinion on the match?"
"Disappointing," Lorelie replied simply before pointing at another reporter
"How soon can we expect your first show here on Oceana Seven?"
"That is dependent on how quickly the royal family can assist me in arranging a venue, but I anticipate around a week."
"How many shows can we expect?"
"That is yet to be decided."
"Who is this man you're with? Is he your boyfriend?"
"He is my bodyguard and future boyfriend."
[LadyErkath (Oceana 7): Ha, she admitted it.]
[OfficialRowena (Oceana 7): Well, she did admit it on stream earlier.]
[LadyErkath (Oceana 7): There's a difference between admitting it on stream and directly to the press.]
[OfficialRowena (Oceana 7): That's true.]
"Does that mean you really are here on a date?"
"Yes, it does. My bodyguard had never seen a Water Sphere match, and I decided it would make a good location for a date."
"What is your opinion on Muprhy and the Abes' substitution?"
"Suspicious, why would the Abes transfer out Ran when Murphy was clearly not playing well? It makes no sense."
"Are you suggesting that something else might be going on then?" A reporter asked.
"I can't answer that. All I can say is that the substitution they made was questionable at best, and I believe I'm not the only one who thinks so." Lorelie replied before saying, "Now, if you will all excuse us, we need to continue our date."
With that, Lorelie once again led the way towards The Meteor while the press parted to let them pass as the microcams continued to capture footage of them both.
[Justiceistruth (Earth): Dude, that's one nice hoverbike.]
[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): That's The Meteor, it's a limited edition model, only 10 were made.]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): Diva Lorelie must like her hoverbikes.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): She's admitted in the past that she is a collector of rare and limited hovervehicles, not just hoverbikes.]
The press and the viewers watched as Adam climbed onto The Meteor and started it as Lorelie climbed on after before wrapping her arms around him before he revved the throttle and The Meteor shot out of the parking lot.
"So where to?" Adam asked.
"How about we go get some food? I know a nice little restaurant not far from here." Lorelie suggested.
"Sure, just give me directions," Adam replied as he turned The Meteor towards the city, causing it to fly over the water.
[SciFifanboy (Earth): That's so Sci-Fi, it's almost like Back to the Future part 2.]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Hey, McFly, you bojo! Those boards don't work on water!]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): Unless you've got power!]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): What?]
[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): I think they're doing movie quotes again.]
[OfficialRowena (Oceana 7): It sounds like a quote from the sequel to the movie we watched before.]
[OrangeeyedStace (Oceana 7): Sounds like it.]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): You should really watch all three, though the second one is the worst of the three.]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): First is definitely the best.]
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): Nah, I like the third, old west baby.]
"Ok, I think that's enough for now since we are going to go eat, Beczontop. Make sure you send Lorelie that information." Adam said before adding, "End Stream."
[[Affirmative]]
[[Mission Complete]]
[[Stream Ended]]
💫💫💫
Xer-verse was once again going crazy about Lorelie, only this time it was about what she said to the reporters.
[[Diva Lorelie confirms she was indeed on a date and with her bodyguard no less.]]
[… Nooooo.]
[… Called it.]
[… Can't believe someone exists that can attract Diva Lorelie's attention.]
[…Right, I thought she was going to remain the virgin Diva forever.]
[[Diva Lorelie says she is disappointed with the Water Sphere match she attended and that she finds the Oceana Abes decision to substitute Ran and not Murphy suspicious.]]
[…Damn straight, that substitution was ridiculous.]
[… Agreed, even Muriel is posting on here that it was a crazy decision and that it makes no sense.]
[… There is definitely something suspicious about that substitution.]
[…Could it be like they said on the sportscast, that there is a clause in Murphy's contract saying that the Abes can't substitute him?]
[…No way. No team is crazy enough to agree to a contract like that, no matter how good a player is.]
[…Then what could it be?]
[… No idea, but it definitely needs investigating.]
[… Do you think the universal sporting body will look into it?]
[… Normally, I would say no, but now that Diva Lorelie has voiced her opinions, they might not have a choice.]
