Friend, I Have Been Waiting For You

If you two are just friends, then I do not have a single friend in this world….

The Hunters user Andrealphus fell for the NPC Azrael from the neighboring game Knights of Dark Ages during a collaboration event.

Andrealphus spent over a year pining for Azrael because their game styles did not match.

One day, he is forcibly moved into the neighboring game as his character from The Hunters and cannot log out.

Then, the very person he longed to see, Azrael, appears before him….

He is trapped in a game, but since he is with his favorite character, is it okay?

However, only about five minutes after I started running again, I found myself unable to move.

“Who goes there! Stop!”

I looked down in bewilderment from atop my unicorn at dozens of knights pointing their swords at me.

I opened the status window and saw they were NPCs with health in the eight thousand range.

They had the highest health among those I had encountered in this event so far.

I could move past them if I just ignored them.

I calculated whether it would be better to fight these NPCs or just ignore them and run to shake them off.

Since they looked like humans, I felt a sense of reluctance about fighting them.

It would be okay to change my class to one that could inflict sleep or paralysis, but combat had already begun.

In other words, a class change was impossible.

It seemed better to just run away.

Since their health was around eight thousand, the damage they could deal would not be that great.

A Summoner was a specialized class for boss raids and did not have skills for fighting multiple enemies.

Okay, let is run.

I was measuring the angle to escape.

Until I heard someone’s voice.

“Andrealphus?”

I was so startled by my nickname being called that I almost rolled off the unicorn.

I really almost fell, and the knights pointing their swords at me even pulled them back in surprise.

The person who called my nickname was wearing full body armor similar to the other knights.

He wore black armor, but unlike the others, gold patterns were engraved on his helmet.

It was easy to tell he was the one leading this order of knights.

“Wh-who are you?”

The words that escaped my mouth were shaky enough for anyone to tell I was flustered.

Who is it?

It was rare for a first-time NPC to know a user’s name, so I was even more flustered.

The man let out a laugh from inside his helmet.

I felt a bit annoyed because it felt like I was being treated as an idiot.

The man soon took off his helmet.

The face revealed beneath that helmet was one I knew very well.

Blue eyes, bright blond hair, and a kind smile.

“Friend, I have been waiting for you.”

And even the words I had wanted to hear most in this world.

Regardless of any judgment about this situation, I had no choice but to smile and answer him.

“I missed you, Prince.”
