"You know Kafka"
Then she grapped the square and then stands up while blowing a bubble gum in her mouth
*Sighs*"Yeah, yeah. Where did you send it. Sliver wolf?" I said while being done with everything
"Some random coordinates, not important. You care about where that Voidranger ended up?" Sliver wolf said with a I don't care face
"Of course not- I'm just amazed at this fancy technique of yours as usual" I said while being impressed
Sliver wolf walked near me then looks at me
"Just a little trick of tampering with the data of reality. I wouldn't call it fancy" Sliver wolf said being lazy as usual
"What were you looking at so intently just now? Let me see" I said while being curious of the littl- I mean a young adult looking at
"A hom- Herta's toys. a catalog featuring the space station's collection of rare items. They've got alot of interesting gadgets" sliver wolf said while smiling
"What were you about to say before you said Herta's toys?" I said while teasing the girl
"NOTHING B-back to the topic" Sliver wolf said while hiding something
'I'll ask her about it when we're back' I thought
"Like what" I asked her the about the gadget before asking her that question
"There's this gun, it can rate any creature within it's crosshair as a score from 0 to 100" she said while smiling
"..Doesn't sound interesting." I said while not giving a shit
"Aren't you curious about how much you would score? I kinda wanna know mine" Sliver wolf said while being interested
"Fine. I guess we can swing around with it if it's not too far, what's our destination?" I give up seeing her childish behavior
"Go down the corridor behind the door on the left. There's a room where some kind of rare item is stored." She pointed to the direction she was talking about
"So that's where the stellaron is?" I asked sliver wolf
Then Sliver wolf turned her head to me
"That's where we can find out where the stellaron is" Sliver wolf said while smiling
Then we went to the door where the stellaron is and Sliver wolf used the door controller to open the door
The the door open
"The central area of the space station is up ahead. There will be lots of legion Voidrangers there" Sliver wolf said
"Ok" I said not caring
Time skip
After me and Sliver wolf finished fighting the Voidrangers then we went to the door where the stellaron was kept then we got ambushed by the Voidrangers
"Looks like we're the ones getting ambushed"Said sliver wolf jokingly
"But they're the ones getting besieged" I said while smiling
Time skip
Then we finished them off
Then there was a controller to open the door then we entered
"Not a single soul here. Impressive evacuation work. Did Herta organise it herself?" I asked
She then clicks some buttons on her wrist with a holographic screen
"According to the access history, she hasn't logged in here for our six months. The evacuation was directed by the acting lead researcher -- a girl named Asta" answered sliver wolf
"Doesn't right a bell. Oh right, Elio said we wouldn't run into Herta, it seems she really isn't here" I said while remembering what Elio told me
Sliver wolf put her hands on her hips
"Where's the Stellaron?" I asked sliver wolf
"Elio's script doesn't include any info about the location of the Stellaron, which means in the future he forsees..." sliver wolf answered me
(When are we going to see the astral express trio run into the unconscious mc?)
"...We would find the Stellaron in a non-physical way?" I questioned Sliver wolf
"This space station is packed with extraordinary objects, I wouldn't be surprised if there's one that can make it happen." Sliver wolf said
"Hiding something extraordinary with something extraordinary... This is pretty Herta. I assume you know what to do? I mean, you've reading that catalog for quite a while." I said
"I got all the clues we need. The only piece is missing is a simple trick.. Help me investigate the terminal in this room, our items might be inside" Sliver wolf said
"Okay the stage is yours~" I said teasingly
Time skip
After I tried to investigate but couldn't find anything
"I can see the whole space station on the surveillance screen.... But not the stellaron" I said
"Even if you could it'd be a trap. Herta doesn't display her collection *sighs* make your way over here then, there's no point in trying to search like this." Said sliver wolf while being tired of life
She turned to me
"So, got a master plan? I'm all ears" I said
"It's a matter of hacking the surveillance system directly" said sliver wolf
"Aha, I see. Herta's collection aren't in the system, so anything unaffected should be our target" I said
Then Sliver wolf hacked all the system's computers
"Simple, crude, but effective. Look found it" said sliver wolf then looked at the unaffected computer
The I went near the computer
"Huh, what's this?" I asked
"Item number 211, "Blind spot: A simple light deflecting Field. It allows the an object in it's field to pass unnoticed, but if a different item ceases to be obvious. The object gets revealed" sliver wolf explained
"So Herta hides her collection with something as simple as this?" I said
"The simplest method is the hardest spot. Isn't that our motto?" Sliver wolf said
Sliver wolf pressed something on her wrist and the entire room turned blue and black the the big screen turned colorful and there was a circle hole in the screen where sliver wolf was standing at, I went to her
*Whistle*"Strange thing number two"
I said
"The data suggests it's just an ordinary hologram. But it has an added layer" said Sliver wolf
"Let's take a look. Don't worry this place won't be our grave" I said jokingly
We then inter the circle hole then we saw the stellaron in the center of the room with a controller
"Interesting, she's a member of the Genius Society alright" I said
"The Stellaron is up ahead, let's hurry" said Sliver wolf
I then used the control panel or whatever it is called
"It has its own security system... I guess even for Herta, a Stellaron is no ordinary rarity" said Sliver wolf
"Can you get it?" I questioned Sliver wolf
"Of course even the genius Herta can't compete with me when it comes to hacking" said Sliver wolf
"Good. Then I'll also count on you with the preparation of the receptacle" I said
Then I went near the stellaron
Then I looked at it and then grabbed it then I went to Sliver wolf who was preparing the receptacle
"The receptacle is ready" Sliver wolf said
"Your decision" she said again didn't want to choose
Then Sliver wolf give the hologram then I grabbed it and saw two receptacles one was a female and the other one was a male
Then I looked at the both of them then choose the male receptacle then the receptacle got printed the I looked at him
"How much does he remember?" I asked sliver wolf
"He'll remember you" said sliver wolf
"Time to get up" I said while I put the stellaron in his body
The gray hair male's pov
I woke up and the saw a plum wine haired woman and sliver haired girl standing or sitting near me
"Kafka?" I said to the plum wine haired woman
"Great you remember me" Kafka said
"Listen: You are in a daze right now. You don't know who you are. Why your here or what your going to do next. You think I look familiar, but not sure if you should trust me—... None of that matters. All you need to know is that I'm leaving and youwill be all alone on this space station. From now on you needn't think about your past or doubt yourself. Listen: In the near future. You will encounter all kinds of perils and hardship. But you will also have many wonderful experiences. You'll meet companies who treat you like family and embark on surreal adventures with them...At the end of your journey, all that perplex you and troubles you will be resolved, this is the future that Elio forseen. Do you like it? She asked me gently
"Where are you going?" I asked
"The next stop to pave the way for the future is written, it's like a weaving brocade — you and I can only add gold thread each time, but eventually. We will make a gorgeous pattern" she answered me
The gray haired girl interrupt the moment
"How long do you think you need? According to the script. The astral express crew is arriving soon. We should avoid being seen by them" said the gray haired girl
"I know Sliver wolf. Just give me another minute" Kafka said
She then stopped looking at the gray hair girl and then looked at me
"I must leave now. Listen: Someone will come and find you very soon, just go with them. You won't remember a thing except me" said Kafka
"Kafka" I said
Then Kafka stood up
"When you have a chance to make a choice, make one that you won't regret" Kafka said
Then both of them left while I started losing consciousness
