章 173: Regret and Distrust

"You don't….trust them?" Match asked, while staring into my eyes. "We've fought a lot of battles together….We defeated bad guys, monsters, and animals...We even ate together. Why did you betray them?"

"Those two people are players, Match. They do what they want without losing anything. And when they do those things, who do you think would be affected the most? Not them, but us, non-player characters or NPCs! We are just nothing to those players and game developers. Nobody would care if we die, because we are not real! THEY MADE US….IF THEY DIDN'T MAKE US, WE WOULD NOT BE HERE IN THIS WORLD!"

Match fell silent when she heard my explanation. That girl's eyes remained glued into mine, while watching my reactions. It was as if this little girl waited for me to take those words back and apologise to her. 

However, I couldn't. Match needed to know the truth, which she probably should have had an idea with.
