"So, she''s sleeping." Rea sighed. "Of course, you wouldn''t be with us if she was awake, huh?"

    "Are you about to throw a tantrum?"

    "No, of course not." She rolled her eyes. "And I assume the moment she wakes up, she''s supposed to make it beep."

    "Yep."

    "And then you''ll go to her."

    "Yep."

    "Great. I love being the replacement for the main girl. But what are you gonna do? That''s the condition of us side pieces."

    Cero frowned and made her yelp with a flick of his index finger to the forehead.

    "It''s easier for you here. This is your home." He explained. "Can you imagine her going outside alone? When she''s used to calm forests and all? It would be very stressful for her."

    "Yeah, right..." Rea let herself fall onto the pillows by their side. "You call that a calm forest?"

    "Well.. With the lights and all here."

    "I''m surprised she''s still asleep though." Liz said as she took off the headset. "When did you leave her yesterday?"

    "It was already late at night. She''s... Very energetic these days."

    "Wasn''t it weird though? Leaving her to sleep alone while you slept at Roka''s?"

    Liz frowned at Rea''s words, and the latter realized.

    ''Oh, right. That kind of applies to all of us. Whether he sleeps at Roka''s, or at someone else''s...''

    "Hm." Cero scratched his cheek for a moment. "Not really. We had fun before she got sleepy, had the whole spaceship to ourselves. I did think that she would wake up earlier though. Would have picked her up before coming."

    "You know you can sleep anywhere you want, right?" Rea scratched her head. "There are plenty of hotels and even whole buildings you can rent for yourself, or for her. For free, too. I have the plugs."

    "She''s probably attached to the ship." Liz muttered. "I asked if we could keep it, but the government is keen on making it some kind of... I don''t know, a symbol or whatever."

    "So it''s just going to be placed somewhere like a statue?"

    "Yeah, pretty much. I''m sure I can bother them some more, but I don''t think it''ll help. Eventually, she''s going to have to leave it."

    "Oh, who cares?" Rea exclaimed, quickly getting on her knees behind Cero and wrapping her arms around his neck. "We''ve used it enough. It''s all broken and fucked now. I got the perfect ship for us."

    "You got one already?" Liz asked.

    "Well... They''re here for me to see. I haven''t decided on which yet. Those I really want aren''t available... Not unless I get into some shady black market business."

    "Better to just stay out of trouble." Cero nodded.

    "Geh!" Rea exclaimed as the back of Liz''s head hit her arms. "What''s wrong with you? Can''t we be civilized?"

    "So this is how you move, and this is how you shoot..." Liz explained, and Cero nodded continually.

    ***

    "Hey, who is that?"

    "Who are you talking about?"

    "Her! Right there!"

    "Wow... Do you think she''s a tourist or something?"

    "Maybe. She''s... Oh, my, god. She is so hot!"

    "I didn''t think people like that even existed!"

    "She''s so tall too..."

    "I know, right? Plus, those abs and those arm muscles... They''re definitely the kind that''s just natural."

    "Right? It''s so lame when people try to build muscle by working out. If it''s not genetic, then it''s worthless!"

    "For her, it''s definitely natural and genetic! Who knew god could make people like that? And why aren''t the women of our planet like that?"

    "Tsk, I know right?"

    On every street, every corner, everywhere she went, all eyes were on her. The guys went crazy for her, and the gals eyed her up and down, sizing her up.

    "Hey, boss. Think you could take her in a fight?"

    "Are you joking?" The female Worka delinquent gulped. "M-Maybe."

    Having decided to surprise her mate, she roams the streets freely.

    Beep!

    Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire

    She lowered her gaze towards the bracelet around her wrist.

    A holographic map appeared in front of her.

    The bracelet picked up on a close-by signal, and a red button appeared.

    "Uwo!"

    She was close.
