Eli had been friends with an eccentric avatar user on Roblox for six months: a skinny, small-as-a-chopstick avatar with dark skin, messy blonde hair, and bold makeup—with the username Rinrin. Strange, ugly, ambiguous—but funny. Every time the avatar appeared, he couldn't help but laugh. Meanwhile, Eli himself looked dashing with the username ShadowWarrior, muscular and authoritative.

One day, Eli proposed a real-life meeting for the first time. Unexpectedly, Rinrin agreed and chose Café X as the venue—asking him to take care of some work. Eli was initially confused. Café X was no ordinary place. There sat businessmen and stockholders, busy people in expensive suits and deep conversations. It was too luxurious for two gamers accustomed to chatting and emoticons.

And when the day arrived, Eli froze in front of the reserved table. The figure waiting for him wasn't the goofy gamer he'd expected, but a mature man with a neat suit, a calm aura, and a piercing gaze. A great director of company—behind the most absurd avatar he'd ever encountered.

he mumbled, almost in disbelief “…you're…Rinrin?”

his silly online friend—with the username Rinrin....was a director of a company all this time?!
