Firefly looked uninjured, which relieved Anby.
Although she was nowhere to be seen once the battle started, fortunately she had found a safe corner to hide properly.
Seeing everyone looking somewhat disheveled, Firefly wore a worried expression.
However, the three members of the Cunning Hares didn’t care about this at all.
As Hollow raiders and investigators exploring Hollows, getting minor injuries inside a Hollow was only logical.
Firefly was very worried, but unfortunately she had no healing methods.
However, mere worry was useless; Firefly noticed the Bangboo loading its progress bar.
“What is wrong with Bell?” Seeing Eous spacing out while loading, Firefly expressed great puzzlement.
Afterwards, Anby came over to explain what had just happened at the Video Store.
Hearing this, Firefly felt somewhat guilty.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t expect such a thing to happen.
If I had come out a bit earlier, I could have led everyone out of the Hollow.” “It’s not your fault.” Anby grabbed Firefly’s hand, wondering if this could comfort the girl a little.
Anby hadn’t thought of Firefly’s ability to calculate Hollow data in the first place, and usually clever Bell hadn’t suggested letting Firefly lead them out either; they had all overlooked the seemingly frail Firefly.
Not long after, the Bangboo finished loading, and those blank eyes reappeared on its display screen.
Clearly, it was not under Phaethon’s possession at this moment.
Then it began to act on its own, a situation that made even Nicole frown upon seeing it.
Billy and Anby also turned their gazes towards Nicole, but as the boss of the Cunning Hares, she wouldn’t hesitate for too long.
Nicole followed closely behind, after all, Phaethon had said they could be completely trusted.
Fortunately, there was no slip-up this time; Eous led the way completely bypassing Ethereals.
Finally, the Bangboo passed through a fissure, and the group followed without hesitation, finally reaching the outside of the Hollow.
“Phew, we’re finally out.” Only then did Nicole show a hint of fatigue, while Billy and Anby also put away their weapons.
And the battlefield-slashing aura that Billy had just exhibited vanished instantly.
“By the way…
that silver guy is seriously way too cool!
He actually dropped straight from the sky—for an entrance like that, I am willing to call him the strongest true starlight knight!” Billy couldn’t stop thinking about that tall mecha.
Although it clearly wasn’t the same concept as a starlight knight, how could anyone say it wasn’t a starlight knight when they were both partners of justice?
“The silver guy?” Firefly muttered quietly in the back.
Knowing that Firefly certainly hadn’t seen that scene, Anby explained it to her.
A silver-white mecha descended like a deity, killed Dulahan with three punches, and left without saying a word, just like a passing starlight knight.
However, what made Firefly somewhat embarrassed was that Anby compared SAM to the Meteor Knight, bringing hope like a meteor and then leaving.
This made Firefly somewhat embarrassed; a title like Meteor Knight and all that.
However, after hearing this, Firefly wore a pensive look, whispering under her breath: “A silver-white mecha, could it be…” “What’s wrong?” Anby noticed Firefly’s small action and asked with concern.
“No, it’s nothing.” Firefly glossed over it to let the matter pass, but Anby gave her a few extra glances.
At this moment Firefly seemed very happy, and of course she was happy—as expected of her, Firefly’s acting skills were on point.
She had to act, she must act; she could be connected to SAM, but she must never be the same person as SAM.
HQ had explicitly mentioned creating good memories, and Firefly deeply knew that combat was definitely not a good memory.
If these friends of hers knew that she was SAM, how could she refuse when they invited her to explore Hollows together?
Therefore, it was fine for everyone to just get to know SAM instead.
Just looking at Anby’s gaze, she knew she had succeeded.
However, whether Anby would tell Nicole about the possibility that she might know SAM was uncertain.
Right before getting into the car, Anby suddenly asked Firefly.
“Firefly, what do you plan to do next?
Where are you going?” “As for me, I want to open a shop in Sixth Street to sell desserts like cakes.” Firefly answered with a smile.
Anby nodded and pulled Firefly into the car.
Nicole’s street-racing skills were truly not bad, and Firefly was almost getting used to them.
When they returned to the Video Store, only Firefly got out of the car alone.
Holding Eous in her arms, Nicole’s voice came from inside the car window.
“Firefly, we still have business to attend to.
I believe the store manager will definitely take good care of you.” Nicole quickly started the car and left.
In the car, Anby leaned against the window, looking at Firefly standing lonely by the roadside.
Her mouth opened and closed as if she was saying something, but the car drove away quickly.
This time Nicole had really taken a huge loss; the commission couldn’t be submitted, Phaethon’s debt definitely couldn’t be repaid either, and the commission target had been given to Phaethon.
Surely she couldn’t just dun for debt whenever she caught her, right?
Phaethon couldn’t, but the store manager could!
Therefore, Nicole ran off without even looking back.
Seeing Nicole leave in such a flurry, Firefly felt somewhat helpless.
Holding Eous with one hand and dragging her suitcase with the other, she entered the Video Store.
“I’m back.” Firefly instinctively said, only to find that neither of the two store managers was at the counter.
What was going on?
Thinking back, she realized the two store managers had been far too quiet all the way here, and even Eous hadn’t reacted much, yet E18 behind the counter was very calm, even greeting Firefly after she entered the door.
Firefly didn’t think E18 could converse, so she just gave a crisp response, then sat on her suitcase and took out her newly acquired phone to check it.
However, inwardly she began communicating with HQ.
“If I open a shop, should I go greet the official authorities of New Eridu?” “Definitely.
If you want to open a shop in New Eridu, you must gain the approval of the official authorities.
Before that, you also need to apply for an ID card and a New Eridu residence permit.” “Evaluated as: take this green card well, today you are an American.” Did she really need to process paperwork after all?
A young girl from Star Capital wanting to settle down in New Eridu shouldn’t be a big deal, right?
Surely it wouldn’t be so bad that she couldn’t even get a single piece of identification processed?
Firefly was still somewhat worried; after all, as everyone knew, HQ was an unreliable thing.
If Star Capital didn’t conform to New Eridu’s rules and laws, getting it processed would probably be very difficult.
“Rest assured, HQ is absolutely reliable.
The New Eridu authorities will definitely help you get it sorted out; if they don’t, I’ll eat it.” “You’d better not eat it.” Firefly already knew HQ’s tricks, and since she wasn’t entirely at ease, she decided to confirm it after meeting the two store managers.
Right at this moment, the door to the inner room of the Video Store opened, and a grey-haired guy walked out from inside.
He saw Firefly sitting on her suitcase playing with her phone.
Firefly also saw Wise, and smiled slightly as she said: “Wise, did any accident happen just now?
Where is Bell?” Unmoved by Firefly’s smile, Wise spoke up: “Bell fell asleep.
I’m going out to buy some dinner now; maybe eating when she wakes up will make her a bit happier.” “I see, then I’m relieved.” Firefly was a friend who had slept together with Bell.
Thinking of this, taking care of her sister’s friend seemed like a good idea.
“Firefly, you must have just come to New Eridu.
You don’t have a place to stay yet.
I know a few landlords whose character is pretty good and prices are cheap.
If you need it, I can have a word with them for you.” “Eh, is that okay?
Thank you.” Perhaps because they had communicated more, seeing the other person’s appearance, even Wise couldn’t help but pause his thoughts to take a closer look.
She truly was a very cute girl; he had never seen anyone cute to this extent in New Eridu.
Cough cough, Wise, what are you thinking about?
Please be serious.
Giving himself a mental slap, Wise was about to head out.
At this moment, Firefly suddenly stood up and blocked Wise’s path.
“Please wait a moment, I have a request.” Suddenly being stopped, Wise didn’t show any dissatisfaction either.
“Please go ahead, Miss Firefly.
We will help with whatever you need.” Wise only smiled slightly, yet still took a small step back to maintain a distance.
Firefly was quite tall from Wise’s perspective, and the two could look at each other eye-to-eye, so Wise certainly didn’t think Firefly was completely powerless.
At least she looked more powerful than himself.
“You must have lived in Sixth Street for a long time.
I want to settle down and open a shop in Sixth Street; getting some experience from you shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Wise frowned slightly.
Could a girl who was still somewhat shy yesterday communicate fluently with the opposite sex in just a single day?
After a brief thought, Wise answered: “Of course you can.
If Miss Firefly has any needs, I can help introduce some good storefronts to you.
However, several advantageous storefronts in Sixth Street have already been rented out, and the remaining ones might not satisfy you.
Miss Firefly won’t mind that, right?” “Of course not.
Rather, thank you, Wise.
I’m very glad to have your help.” Now Wise finally understood why his sister had been so eager.
This wasn’t something an ordinary person could hold back against; with Bell’s personality of being unable to take her eyes off beautiful girls, meeting Firefly meant her life was set.
