When you walked into the venue, you could clearly feel the gazes of the crowd on you, intentionally or unintentionally, like a little sheep falling into a pack of wolves. The venue that was originally filled with whispers suddenly became lively.

But you didn't care about these gazes, you just calmly talked to Rias beside you. Occasionally, when you talked about something interesting, you would reveal a faint smile, which was even more eye-catching.

Most of the people in the venue were secretly staring at you, whispering to the people around them.

"Why is there an Omega here …"

"Could it be that an Alpha brought his own Omega here?"

"The one beside him is obviously not the Alpha of this Omega."

"Could it be that some big shot's child sneaked out …"

"This Omega …"

Omega, Omega, Omega, every sentence couldn't be separated from the word Omega.

You turned a deaf ear, completely ignoring these contemptuous words, but Rias beside you heard it, his scarlet eyes glared at the people staring at you, there was coldness in the blood, the black pupil in the middle was like a whirlpool, full of malice and indifference, like a demon in the world.

Those who were glanced at by Rhea all turned their gazes away. Only a few of them met his eyes. Some were filled with disdain, some were filled with arrogance, and only one of them was filled with confusion.

When Rias noticed the owner of that pair of eyes, his eyes darkened.

While you were talking, you noticed that Rias' gaze stopped at a certain spot, so you looked over curiously — —

Champagne colored hair, and dark green eyes.

At first glance, you only noticed the other person's hair color and eyes color, then you saw the other person's face. Although it was unfamiliar, you still silently turned around in your mind, and found that there was no corresponding person.

Eh, it seems that …

Should be someone who adjusted their appearance online?

When you saw Rias, you thought that there were many people like him and you, with their appearance not adjusted much, but there were still differences between online and offline, and they couldn't be recognized at a glance, and the hair color and eye color were not adjusted.

But when you entered the venue, even though you were chatting with Rias the whole time, there was basically nothing within your line of sight that you could match.

While you were still thinking about whether to initiate a conversation, you noticed someone walking up to you from the corner of your eye, seemingly wanting to talk to you.

"Hello."

The other party had a polite smile on his face. He was wearing a suit, and his platinum hair was tied into a ponytail. There wasn't a single strand of hair in front of his forehead, and his slender eyes were like those of a fox. He bowed politely.

"I am Auxerre Hagrid. Do I have the right to ask this beautiful lady your name?"

He gently lowered his head, and his eyes seemed to be filled with spring water. It was as if he was looking at his lover, lovingly looking at her.

You blinked your eyes and smiled at him, your eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Sure, I'm Eretta Waltz."

When Rias saw Auxerre's expression, he felt a sense of déjà vu. That was …

She had the same expression as him before.

***

"Rias!

I didn't expect you to not change your appearance online. But … it sure feels different offline. I almost couldn't recognize you. "

You smiled and shook your legs. After you finished speaking, you took a bite of the ice cream cone that was left with the outer shell. You chewed it in your mouth and swallowed it.

"… Yeah." Rias responded in a low voice. He lowered his eyes, and you couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"Ah ~ You're just as quiet offline as you are online. But you've been chatting with me recently. Is it because it's your first time meeting me, so you're nervous?"

You bit off the last bit of the shell and folded the ice cream cone into a square. As you spoke, you aimed at the trash can and threw it in.

It was a perfect parabola. It went in!

You giggled as you turned around to look at Rhea, who had his head lowered beside you. However, you noticed that he had curled up his body. His shoulder blades were wrapped in a thin layer of clothing, and they were slightly protruding, just like a butterfly.

How beautiful.

You stared at his shoulder blades and exclaimed in your heart.

Rias, who was being stared at by you, seemed a little embarrassed. He moved slightly to the other side. His fists were clenched tightly, and his ears were a little red.

You didn't understand why he moved his position. You pondered for a moment, and then moved slightly to his position. So, you two became close to each other again.

When Rias was pressed against you again, he seemed to be shocked. His whole body trembled, but he didn't say anything. He just moved to the other side.

You tilted your head and continued to move to his position.

So what happened next was like a primary school game. He moved, you moved, he moved again, you moved again …

Until Rias moved to the edge of the sofa. He had no choice but to accept his fate. He turned his head and stared at the elevator door on the other side.

You looked at the teenager who hadn't answered your question. You thought for a moment, and then stood up. When he turned his head, you suddenly moved closer to him.

Rias's pupils shrank instantly, like a hunter who had encountered his prey. His scarlet eyes reflected your face, as if he wanted to swallow you whole.

"Hey hey, since we have time, why don't we go to the public entertainment area next door and fight?"

***

Then, Rias felt the gap between the first place and the twelfth place on the leaderboard. He was three places ahead of you on the leaderboard, but for the first time, he felt what it meant to be suppressed and beaten, and what it meant to be aggrieved.

Your mind and tactics were perfectly reflected in the battle. When it came to the use of the terrain, no one could use it more perfectly than you. It could be said to be incisively and vividly, and you were very good at taking shortcuts.

This kind of feeling of being at a disadvantage in every aspect despite having a higher combat strength and often not being able to see the other party's shadow and being suppressed by the other party was really sullen.

His original contempt turned into mockery after a battle. The target of mockery wasn't you, but him. When he was beaten down by you, Rias didn't know what he was thinking, but when he saw you walk out of the Mech Hold before going offline, his cold eyes were blue, but they were frozen.

A thought suddenly appeared in his mind. He thought —

How could there be someone who dared to look down on you?

If it was you, even if you were an Omega …

So what.

***

Rias on the side remembered what happened before. His eyes were filled with disdain, and his thin lips curled into a mocking smile. His gloomy face didn't get any better because of his smile, instead it became even colder.

On the other side, you started chatting with Auxerre. The seemingly flirtatious Auxerre was unexpectedly talkative. He could talk about any topic, and as a person who didn't have many talkative friends, you naturally chatted with him about many things. After talking about some interesting recent events, Auxerre casually asked a question.

"May I ask, who is Eretta looking for in the offline tournament?"

Just as you were about to drink the milk on the table, you heard this question.

You blinked and calmly drank the milk. Then, you tilted your head and looked at him.

"Looking for someone?

I don't think you're looking for anyone … "

Halfway through your sentence, you thought of someone.

"Oh right, I remember now. Actually, I'm here to look for someone. I don't know if you know him, but his online name is Yu Qiu."

After you finished the last word, you lowered your head to drink the milk. But when you found that the other party did not reply, you raised your head in confusion. As a result, you saw that Oseer, who was originally gentle and polite, had a broken expression. His slightly narrowed eyes widened in shock. You even thought that his heart was playing The Scream.

Then, you heard him stutter.

You frowned and looked at him innocently.

He seemed to be trying to identify your face. Then, his gaze drifted to your hair and eyes. He seemed to have confirmed something in his heart. You saw him swallow a mouthful of water with difficulty.

"Can't be …"

Auxerre furrowed his brows tightly, as if he had received a huge shock. He even took a few deep breaths and closed his eyes. Then, he suddenly opened them again and stared at you.

You heard him ask in a voice as soft as a mosquito's. There was a bit of anticipation, a bit of fear, and nervousness.

"Qiu … Yu …?"

As soon as he said that, you felt more and more people looking at you.

The people in the venue began to whisper again.

"What's going on? I think I heard the name Qiu Yu …"

"It's that Omega … Could it be that Qiu Yu brought her here?"

"So where is Qiu Yu? Which one is he?

Could it be that Qiu Yu is next to that Omega?

Why do I feel like he's still underage … I remember someone saying that Qiu Yu is at least 30 years old … "

"Qiu Yu is really romantic. He even brought an Omega to an offline event. Is he showing off?"

"If that's really the case, then it's too …"

With malice, curiosity, and envy, all kinds of gazes were cast on you. If you were a normal person, you would have felt like there was a thorn in your back. However, you still had a relaxed and calm expression on your face. You even started to smile.

"Could it be that you're Yu Qiu?"

You didn't answer the question in front of you. Instead, you asked a question of your own.

When Auxerre heard your question, he seemed to have misunderstood something. He instantly let out a sigh of relief. He muttered in a voice he thought was very soft, "Thank goodness it's not … That scared me to death … Then it must be someone's little brat …" After muttering to himself, he raised his head and looked at you with a charming and affectionate expression.

He smiled gently at you and said, "I am indeed Yu Qiu. I'm very sorry that I misunderstood you. I don't know which family's daughter you are. It's my honor to —"

"You didn't misunderstand me." You interrupted him.

"…?" Auxerre's expression froze for a moment.

You looked at him and tilted your head. You smiled sweetly and said,

"I am Qiu Yu."

Auxerre's expression instantly turned blank.

The atmosphere in the venue also froze.

The air seemed to have stopped for a moment.

Under everyone's stiff and frightened expressions, you smiled and drank the last mouthful of milk. Then, you raised your wrist and opened your personal information in the optical computer. You projected it for the other party to see.

"Here, look."

In the information you projected, under the name column, it was indeed written —

Qiu Yu.
