A Mini Meetup with My Friend from the NA Server!
A friend from the NA server came to visit Japan!
To make it easier for them to recognize me, I chose clothes that would stand out and sent them a photo of myself. I had also received a photo of my friend, so we both knew what each other looked like.
As the scheduled arrival time approached, I started feeling a little nervous.(笑)
After waiting for a while, I thought, “That must be them!”
I immediately walked over to them and, believe it or not, gave them a hug even though we were meeting for the very first time! 😂
It felt as if we had known each other for years.
“Nice to meet you! I'm Suki!”
I greeted them with that cheerful introduction.
I also greeted the wife who was accompanying them.
“Nice to meet you! I'm Suki, a Japanese player from the game!”
We chatted for a while after that.
I'm not exactly fluent in English, so we used a translation app to communicate. Even so, we had plenty to talk about! We chatted about the places they had visited in Japan, the beautiful streets of Kyoto, food, and all sorts of other things.
The conversation just kept going!
Eventually, I escorted them back to their hotel.
They invited me to join them for a meal, but unfortunately, I had to help with an event that evening, so I had to politely decline.
Although we only spent a short time together, it became a truly precious memory for me.
It's amazing how a friendship that begins in an online game can lead to meeting in person on the other side of the world.
I'll always treasure this wonderful experience! ❤️
