This pink-haired thing sure does like to yell about angels a lot. At any rate, I now had a new place. Now, the hard part was actually moving. I was not looking forward to this part. I still had plenty of daylight, so I should probably get it done today. Moving by myself was not going to be easy. While I did not have much. Just the thought of carrying everything was just…. I looked at the pink-haired thing, and an idea came to mind. I wrote down a few words in my notebook: “If you help me move, I will call you Angel.”

“Okay!” Immediate answer. This girl’s head bobs up and down like a bobblehead. Her wide smile and starry eyes as she looks at me makes me feel as if I am taking advantage of her. But this is good. To have help would mean less to carry on my own. 

“Then pink-haired angel thing….” I wrote down but did not get to finish because the pink-haired thing yelled out: “Just Angel!” 

I pursed my lips and let out a reluctant sigh as I wrote: “Fine then… A.N.G.E.L…. Thanks…”

“Why do you write it and sigh as if calling me by my name is the worst thing in the world!?” This pink-haired thing really has a lot of complaints. Shouldn’t I be the one complaining? I mean, why does a pink-haired thing even have a name? Don’t they spawn like crazy in the game? 

“You are thinking too much…” I wrote before looking up at her. I had to admit this was quite fun. She was really an amusing character in game, and out.

At any rate, I now secured help in moving. After Robert returned with the contract, I read it, signed it, and paid what I needed to pay. Power was already on in the apartment. So I could move in at any time. The only issue was the internet. Thinking of this, I realized I would not get to move in right away. “I will be moving in after the internet is switched over. I can’t play without it.”

“You can just use mine. No need to spend money. I have a full two terabytes, so you can just hook into my wifi.” The pink-haired thing seemed to be quite rich. Two terabytes was a crazy amount of speed. I did not even know they had such speed available!

“The-then… tha-thanks….” This time I spoke…. I find it funny how readily willing this pink-haired thing is willing to jump through hoops to help me. Someone this willing to go out of their way for me deserves to be told thanks at least once by mouth, right?

“So cute!” I wish never opened my mouth. Why was she now hugging me and pressing her cheeks against mine? I mean, what is so cute about me, to begin with? I look homely.

I pried myself from her grasp and wrote: “Let’s go. We need to do this all in one go.”

“Ah, right! Hold on, I will get someone to get a truck to make things easier.” The pink-haired thing replied. 

Truck….?

Not more than twenty minutes later, I was standing in front of my house. Next to me was a pink-haired thing, and behind us were a few people from the moving company that the pink-haired thing called. I wonder if this girl knew that I only have like five bags worth of stuff?

I let out a sigh as I wrote: “Only you come in for now. Have these people wait outside until I get my things packed.” 

“Okay! Don’t worry, they get paid by the hour, so I am sure they won’t mind.” The pink-haired smiled brightly, hopped over to the people, and began explaining things. I watched as they nodded and went to rest by the side of their truck.

With the pink-haired thing trailing behind me, I walked into my apartment and flipped on the switch. My dimly lit little cave was being invaded. The pink-haired thing seemed to be very interested in everything she saw. Like the cobweb in the ceiling. The plant that seemed to have died ages ago. The fact that there was nothing but empty top ramen packages all over the place or maybe the fact that the nicest thing in my house was the headset for the game. 

“You really have nothing….” She was right. All the furniture in this place was not even mine except the computer desk with the old PC. I got a new apartment, but I would need to sleep on the floor until I bought a few things. 

“I tried to tell you….” I wrote as I pouted slightly. It was kind of embarrassing.

“It’s fine!” The pink-haired thing smiled brightly once more. A smile that was even brighter than the light bulbs that lit up the room. “Let’s get your personal effects packed. And your Mortal Online gear. We will set that aside and then pack the other things for the movers to take with them. Even if it’s only a few boxes, it’s fine. I will go get some boxes. You start organizing things.” 

I could only nod at the pink-haired thing’s suggestion. I guess this is kind of what being friends with someone feels like. I was not always like this…. I mean, I grew up normally at one point. I used to be more outspoken and could talk with others. But when I started school…. Things slowly started to change….
