Obviously, none of her teammates knew about the fact that Emilia had made a secret 'deal' with Darryl. Or the fact that Colman was just trying to establish a reliable communication channel between them.
After all, while people could chat with each other within the ga regardless of the distance between them, they had to be mutually added as 'friends' first. And the only way two people could do so was for them to have so form of 'physical contact', then 'accept' each other's request.
While there was no limit to the number of friends one was allowed to have, the fact that there was no 'search' function, and Arcadia didn't enforce a unique naming policy either, made it difficult for people to keep track of too many friends.
The mont they shook hands, Colman couldn't help but grin. "Miss Emilia's palm is even softer and smaller than it looks."
Of course, in sharp contrast to his words and expression, his real feelings at that mont were incredibly complex.
Every player in Arcadia had a unique ID number assigned to them when they first logged in, and… Emilia's ID number was fifteen zeros, followed by a one.
That is to say, she was the fastest player to finish her character creation when the ga launched… even faster than his boss!
Darryl had specifically asked him to pay attention to this detail, and it wasn't without reason.
Being a close friend of the genius who 'created' the ga, aside from knowing that the 'spawn' location could be changed based on where soone physically was, Colman was naturally privy to many other secrets as well.
Although the ga had technically opened its gates for everyone at the sa ti, the amount of ti it took for a person's soul to sync with the ga world actually varied a lot when they did it for the first ti.
It might only take around five minutes or so, but that was more than enough ti for soone who got there first to rush through the character creation process.
What Emilia's ID showed, therefore, wasn't just the fact that her soul was incredibly 'strong' and compatible with Arcadia, but also that she was incredibly reckless and uncaring of how her character creation impacted her later.
'Will such a girl really be a good wife for the boss?' Colman frowned. 'Even if she's gorgeous, if all boss wanted was a pretty and dumb girl, there are already thousands waiting for him to choose one.'
Unfortunately, his sharp-eyed stare was interpreted as a look of perversion by Emilia's teammates, and before Colman even realized it, he'd been scolded bloody and left in the dust.
Shaking his head with a helpless smile, Colman could only log out first. 'I'll just leave these things for the boss to decide.'

Darryl didn't show much of a reaction to the fact that his 'friend' had managed to convince Emilia to join his side, and added her as a friend within the ga for easy communication.
However, when he learned her player number, the genius couldn't help but frown. 'Am I thinking too much, or is this girl… really unusual…?'
Obviously, he'd had her investigated to the best of his ability, and she seed to be soone born in a remote community near his hotown who'd just recently moved to the city.
Her being a little silly and naïve seed to be quite natural, and the only two things that stood out about her were her beauty and her luck.
Having already pulled her to his side, Darryl should have had no reason to worry anymore. But for so reason, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
'It seems like… I have to et her in person, just to be sure.' He sighed.
Unfortunately, he wasn't really as free to travel around the world as so of his friends, and he couldn't just rush to the Fire Kingdom in Arcadia either. It was too troubleso and ti-consuming, after all.
But thinking about the fact that he could feel a change coming to the 'world' soon, Darryl's expression soon eased into a smile. 'Forget it, when the ti cos… I'll definitely know what this feeling is.'

Emilia naturally had no idea of the hero's internal struggles, and continued to lead her team to make rapid progress while pretending to obediently listen to their lectures on how not to deal with her 'fans'.
Obviously, she also understood that most of the people claiming to admire her only did so out of so form of greed, and very few might actually like her genuinely. But since Danielle explaining it all so seriously looked unexpectedly cute, Emilia didn't bother to interrupt her.
The [Minor Tentacled Plant Demons] that were usually avoided by other players could only feel wronged while being slaughtered by this uncaring team again.
As proud monsters near the capital region, did they not deserve even a little bit of dignity?
Unfortunately, the Crimson Witches had long since gotten used to dealing with them, and now they couldn't even leave a single trail of sli on Emilia's thigh despite her being the team's sole vanguard.
Of course, their mission this ti wasn't to deal with these monsters on the outskirts, they just happened to be in the way.
"How much further do you think we have to go to encounter these so-called [Ravenous Rabbits]?" Robin frowned.
Danielle humd thoughtfully as she checked the mission details again, then shrugged. "Since it ntions that the rabbits are also in the outer regions of the forest, I don't think it should be too much further in."
In fact, if not for Emilia leading them and pointing out the fact that they'd never encountered such beasts despite hunting the tentacled plants for so long, Danielle and the others might even have spent so ti going through the outskirts first.
They couldn't be blad, since the forest really was far more vast than it appeared on the map, and even dashing straight towards the center for nearly an hour would barely get them through the outskirts.
Just when they were worried that the mission might have to be put off for the next day, however, Robin abruptly paused, and the rest of the team quickly turned their attention to what had caused her to freeze.
A few ters ahead of them, peeking out from a particularly lush bush, was an incredibly fluffy rabbit butt adorned with a colorful pink scut.
'We found it…!'
