Adopted Soldier

Due to the area being the place were the FPS tournament is being held, a lot of people who were originally gathering for the tournament, were now gathering for Emily .

"We stand by our Queen! Let the eternal night descend upon us all!" The people were really getting into the role of being Emily’s minions . Emily had created a group of fanatics, after a few minutes . Some people who were watching from the side, really thought that they’re was really a filming for some anime’s live action series .

"Emily it’s almost our turn to play . " When Emily heard Alex calling her, she elegantly bowed to her audience .

"My lovely peons it would seem that there are those who wish to challenge me . They foolishly bare their fangs towards me . Kukuku, I shall show them the warm embrace of the eternal night . So watch and see the graceful form of your Queen . " Emily smiled like a mischievous little devil, as she showed a cold glint in her eyes . Her audience felt a chill ran down their spine as they saw that look in her eyes . It was only Alex who knew that she released a bit of her bloodlust at the audience . Which made Alex wonder if this too was part of the act for a more authentic feel, if so Emily was truly good at this .

"For the eternal night!"

"For the Princess!"

The audience was in a total uproar as Emily left, and they started to chant some weird things . Alex was confused at the whole thing, sometimes they say Queen, then they call her princess . Even the title of the anime is called Bloody Princess, so what is her actual rank? He simply couldn’t understand no matter how hard he thought about it .

Alex asked the one with the most knowledge about this topic, which was Shin .

"Oh that’s part of the feel of the anime . Evangeline Cromwell’s actual title is that of a princess . Her subordinates simply call her Queen because of her atmosphere . " Even though Alex heard the answer, in such a concise way he still couldn’t understand it .

’She was a princess, but her subordinates call her Queen? What does that even mean?’

While Alex was trying to comprehend the meaning behind the Queen thing, Emily was walking towards Alex’s group with a happy smile on her face . Her demeanor had return to normal, it was such a great change that Alex truly thought of her as amazing .

"That was really fun . " Emily happily reported even though no one asked her about it .

"Hey Emily, you’re so awesome! Where did you get those clothes? I want to try cosplaying too . " Sayaka asked with her usual cheerful tone . Even though her house was littered with clothes all meant for disguises, they were all normal kinds of clothes for different professions, none of them were like the clothes Emily was wearing which caught her interest .

"Oh this thing, I made it myself . If you want I can make you one as well . We can go to events as a duo cosplayer team . " Emily responded excitedly, since she finally found someone with similar interest .

"Really!? Sure let’s go cosplaying together! You’re really amazing Emily since you’re even able to make your own clothes . I bet you can even cook nicely, and are good at cleaning . " Sayaka responded really impressed by Emily .

"That’s right, I can cook and clean . " ’Since that’s part of my job’ Emily didn’t say the last part, since she didn’t feel like telling them what her current part-time job is like .

"Oh my, what’s with your girl power it’s off the charts! Rachel, you and I really need to learn from Emily, especially you Rachel . " When Rachel heard Sayaka’s comment, she quickly looked at Alex and denied Sayaka’s statement .

"I don’t really need to learn anything . I’m good at cooking and cleaning as well . " Sayaka who saw the frantic reaction of her best friend, smiled mischievously .

"You are good at cooking? If I remember correctly you actually mistook sugar for salt, and you even failed to cook a simple egg, like multiple times, and the one success you had was extremely burnt . You’re good at cleaning? Doesn’t your mother do all the cleaning? Not once have I seen you clean . "

Rachel who heard Sayaka say all those things in front of Alex, wanted to deny all her claims, but before she could do so Kim Suho cut her off .

"Sorry if I’m interrupting your embarrassing conversation, but we have a tournament we need to win . " Kim Suho with his irritated tone, finally stopped Emily, and the other girls conversation .

"We’ll continue this talk later . " Rachel looked at Sayaka with a glare, who then responded with sticking her tongue out .

. . .

The group had entered the venue, which looked like a arena of sorts . In the middle of the arena were a bunch of computers, at first there wasn’t much people sitting on the seats were the audience was suppose to be . Yet the moment Alex’s group entered, a bunch of people followed them into the venue .

There was a fee needed to be paid to become an audience but the people didn’t care, since they wanted to see their Queen, a . k . a Emily win, so they paid the entrance fee without hesitation .

Noticing the increase of the audience, some players got a bit unnerved . Oliver, Rachel, Sayaka, Shin, Luvia, Richard, and Kei headed towards the audience area, seeing as they weren’t going to play .

Alex and the other players of his team proceeded to the lane of computers that they were going to use for this tournament . The preliminaries were about to start, but before it did Emily stood up and waved at her fans . Which responded with a roar of cheers .

"QUEEN! QUEEN! QUEEN! QUEEN! QUEEN!" The stadium felt like it trembled for a bit with Emily’s fans thunderous cheer .

The other players looked at Emily with disdain .

’What’s the use of showing off like that? You’re going to lose real fast . ’

’Can this cosplaying girl even play?’

’Is she lost? Maybe she thought this was a cosplaying event . ’

’Hmph! I’m so much prettier than her, they should cheer for me instead . Well they’ll learn the name the shooting Goddess once they witnessed my skills . ’

Since this is the first time Emily had physically attended a gaming event lots of the players, didn’t know she was the gamer in the urban legends . So most of the players in the venue thought Emily was simply a poser . Little did they know that most of them will be crushed without even being able to do anything .
