I Became a Raid Boss-Chapter 220: And the opening (3)

The girl with pink hair, a very unique hair and eye color.

Of course, pink is unique, but it’s not an impossible color to see.

It’s a color you might occasionally see among celebrities who need to flaunt an outstanding personality or people who enjoy styling themselves.

So, the public, accustomed to all sorts of hair colors, didn’t pay much attention to the girl...

...Well, they really shouldn’t have.

People who had clicked on the post casually found themselves admiring the attached photo.

Her hair, flowing down to her waist.

The light pink hair, which became lighter towards the ends, was bathed in sunlight, and the rays scattered, making the hair shimmer brilliantly.

Even though the photo was still, the hair seemed to gently ripple, giving the illusion of movement, with a mystical charm that couldn’t be created by mere dyeing.

Then, people's eyes were drawn to her eyes.

Like her hair, her pink eyes were full of life and vibrancy, and anyone who saw them couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

And once they saw that, they couldn't avoid noticing her face.

A cute, petite face, with delicate eyes, nose, and lips all coming together perfectly.

The lazy, half-closed eyes, the baby fat that hadn’t fully disappeared, and the round face came together so perfectly that no one could deny she was cute.

And then, as a finishing touch, when she slightly revealed a faint smile under her cold, expressionless face...

"...Should I look a bit longer?"

Anyone who had clicked on the post, even without thinking, found themselves wondering that.

And as they looked further, those who had never played Celia Online, or those who weren’t interested in game-related issues, began to wonder who the girl was.

"Who’s in the picture??""Is she a child actor?""Wow, she’s got some vibe...""If my little sister looked like that, I’d even give up my chicken leg."

They soon came face to face with the truth.

What? Celia Online? What’s that?

...A virtual reality game? And she’s an NPC from that game?

What was her name again? Kanaria? Isn’t that a bird name?

They found the idea that she was an NPC in ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) the game made her unrealistically beautiful seem more understandable, but still, a hint of regret lingered in their hearts.

However, the interest didn’t disappear completely. People, swallowing their regret, focused on the post’s content.

The video attached with the photo.

The girl in the video was undoubtedly the same as the one in the photo, Kanaria.

She was holding a sword as big as her body, or even larger, battling strange, monstrous creatures.

It looked so dangerous that it seemed like she could be devoured in one bite, but...

Swoosh!

Surprisingly, the winner of the fight was always the small girl, Kanaria.

Each time Kanaria’s sword scattered pink sword light, the monsters' heads flew into the sky, and the sharp claws that could easily tear her delicate skin remained eerily silent.

Her movements were light, like scissors cutting paper, but the outcome was anything but light.

As people watched Kanaria’s overwhelming skill in awe, a strange thought crossed their minds.

‘...I’ve seen this somewhere before.’

Déjà vu, that feeling of experiencing something as if you’ve already lived it, even though you never have.

The reason they felt that way was not because of déjà vu.

It was because they had seen it before.

"Huh?""Wait..."

The strange phenomenon that occurred in the sky over Seoul.

A giant arm, emerging from the darkened sky, was casually turned into a cube steak by someone.

Thanks to that, the people who had been watching from below were unexpectedly hit by pieces of meat falling from the sky, but no one could complain.

As soon as the incident was over, the figure disappeared, and no one even knew who to ask about it.

People wanted to ask about the phenomenon, but they couldn’t.

And this person became a hot topic along with the strange occurrence...

"Wait... doesn’t this seem kind of familiar?"

At first, I thought it was fake...

But... something about it feels like I’ve seen it before...

"You watch too many animes." ┗(Author): No, seriously; ┗(Author): Am I the only one who feels this way?

"What feels familiar?" ┗(Author): I don’t know either; ┗(Author): Just, it feels like I’ve seen it somewhere before...

"If you’re going to talk nonsense, at least put some effort into it." ┗(Author): Why is this nonsenseㅡㅡ ┗Woof woof! Grrr...

"This guy is talking to himself and looking for validation."

Without any clear reason or proper explanation, the post was met with criticism.

The majority opinion was: if you’re going to write a diary, write it in a diary.

But before long, the public opinion began to shift, not completely, but to some extent.

It was due to a post that replaced the deleted one after much criticism.

"Is this the thing you were talking about?"

Anyone watching the community would immediately understand the reference.

The post showed the familiar pink-haired girl from Celia Online.

And from there, the flames began to spread.

"Well, how about you?"

As I began to get up to leave, Edel, watching me, casually asked.

"What are you going to do?"

"Well... I’ve been thinking about it."

I shrugged my shoulders.

"For now, I’ll try talking things through."

Just like how Edel has the Manager, I also have my excellent ally, Da-eun.

"...Heh!"

When I answered, Edel burst out laughing for some reason.

"...What’s so funny?"

"It’s nothing. Heh heh..."

Edel couldn’t stop laughing for quite a while, even though she said it wasn’t a big deal.

When I gave her a dissatisfied glare, her laughter slowly began to fade.

"It’s just that, hearing you say that made me think, you really do rely on her a lot."

"...I’m not relying on her. I’m just asking for her opinion. Maybe she has a good idea I haven’t thought of."

"Yeah, yeah."

"It’s not like that."

"I got it. Who’s saying otherwise?"

"...Hmph. I’m leaving."

"Take care~"

Edel waved her hand in a teasing manner.

I snorted and turned my back to ignore her, leaving the office...

"...Wait."

She poked her head back in.

"Do you happen to have a car I can ride?"

Thinking about it, I had come here empty-handed.

I could leave the same way, but somehow, I felt like it would be troublesome.

It’d be awkward to take a taxi in this situation.

Doesn’t the company have a corporate car or something?

So I asked, but...

"...Ahaha!"

What I got in response was a grand laugh.

...I really don’t like this.
