Say go shopping, never hesitate.

No one thought that after two cruel wars, the business district of Sky City is not much more deserted than usual, the street is still full of people, although it is now daytime, there are not many customers in the entertainment venues, but there are a lot of customers in the sales places, and the endless flow of people enters and exits from the doors of various stores, and many people are still carrying various goods of considerable size towards the vehicle in their hands.

It was interesting to wonder why the residents would rush together to buy large volumes of goods, and that after the disaster, the houses could be rebuilt, and the furniture could not grow on its own, so they had to buy from the stores again, and as one of the vandals, the shadow chasers looked left and right, pretending not to see anything.

Walking around the business district, a group of people have a new look, all of them have changed into local clothes, although there is a cover of the power of the messenger, even if they wear Pavatiga's clothes, there will be no sense of disobedience, but the power of the messenger can only make the locals have a reasonable explanation for their behavior of wearing strange clothes, and feel that there is nothing wrong with this, but it does not make people see their clothes as the same as the locals, so that the characteristics are too strong, as long as they are described in detail, it is easy to be found, therefore, everyone simply dresses up as city dwellers, and then disguises a little, and a group of slightly strange locals appearAs for why these people have a lollipop in their mouths neatly, the answer is too terrible, and it is better not to dig deeper.

"Wow, uncle, you should give me this money. Delia also changed into a new dress, Mei Zizi lowered her head and admired herself, she hadn't worn such high-end clothes for a long time, it should be said that she hadn't worn much since she could remember, and now she put on new clothes, and immediately got rid of the image of a wild child in the West Outer Ring District. However, no matter how satisfied she is, the little girl muttered and complained, "A set of clothes costs more than 100 credits, which is enough for me to eat fresh meat for a month, instead of wasting it on clothes, it is better to let me improve my life." ”

"What are you afraid of, anyway, the money is given by someone, and it's a waste if you don't use it. ”

Indeed, when the president of the Black Market was about to break up, he felt that he had prepared a metal card called a currency card for the Shadow Chaser, which was used to trade when the rescued survivors were blackmailed by Delia. It is said that this card contains a 'huge amount of money' of 50,000 credits, and the limit will be reset every day, which is specially used for the daily consumption of these envoys from other worlds.

It seems that the president has also seen that these envoys have become a group of unscrupulous guys in the other world, and he doesn't want them to make any trouble because they have no money to spend, in case they really have no money to settle the bill after eating and shopping, and there will be a meteor shower in a rage, it will really become a joke. Anyway, with the status of the president, he doesn't care about the small amount of money with tens of thousands of credits, so he should spend money to buy a peace of mind, and he can also grasp the characteristics of some people from another world through the tendency to consume.

"I still think it's a pity. Delia pouted, she was used to being coquettish, "The idea I thought of before was to take that group of children with me, and the money I earned would be shared equally with everyone, and there was not much left in my hands. Wow, by the way, uncle, you see, this is the clothes that a young girl has just worn, and it's still hot, I'm definitely interested, I'll suffer a little loss, it's good to count you for a thousand credits, how about it, such a good business can't be missed. ”

Convulsions, the corners of the mouths of several shadow chasers twitched at the same time, just a few days later, this child has changed from the cautious and always defensive attitude when they first met to the current attitude, this world is simply terrible.

"Yo Yo Yo, it's useless, you give up. The elven form of Moria raised her finger and shook it in front of the little girl, "As I said, this guy is only interested in beasts, and you are not in the hunting range." ”

"Hey, fawn, weren't they beasts and plants the other day, why are there only beasts left now?"

"You see, he himself has admitted it, beasts and plants, as long as they are outside of people, he will ...... when he sees them Eh, Sasa, what are you doing, don't pull my hair, no, don't pull my hair, it's going to fall off the leaves, let it go. ”

Fortunately, the terrifying Moria was forcibly dragged aside by Saf with brute force to teach a lesson, really, what to say, how can I only be interested in people, what if that is the case.

"Alas. Shuer sighed deeply with a look of despair, pretended not to know the two women who were getting more and more headaches, and led Delia, who was trembling with laughter, and said as he walked, "You guy should be about the same as me, didn't this business say that you would be paid five pieces of gold?"

"Hey, I heard it all, uncle, as soon as you leave, the things you left behind will also disappear, and the gold or something will be gone with you, and I won't get anything. ”

"Really?" said Shul with a smirk, "I don't think you'll ask me for payment in advance, and then exchange it for credits while we're not leaving." ”

"Ha, ha, ha, uncle, look at what you said, ha, how could I do that kind of bad behavior of passing on the risk. The little girl smiled dryly and said, "I'm just pursuing the maximization of profits for the future life, hahahaha." ”

"Alas. Sighing again, Xiuer has made too many friends with people, how can he not see the hesitation and uneasiness hidden in the heart of the little girl's smile on the surface, different from when she first met, now she seems to be haggling nonsense, in fact, most of them are tentative, in this case, instead of letting her continue to worry, it is better to make it clear, "You really plan to continue with your previous life." ”

"What else can you do?" Delia's smile stiffened, "You can't stay, and you can't take me back." ”

"Heh, even if we can take you back, do you really plan to come with us?"

"No, that's your world, uncle, not mine. The girl shook her head decisively, obviously not the first time she had considered similar issues, "I belong to this world, although I don't like this place very much, and I don't like everyone here, but this is my home, I just want to stay here." ”

"So, we never intended to take you away, and even though it was not impossible to take you back after paying a great price. Shure shrugged, "But that doesn't mean you need to go back to your old life. ”

"You mean the people on the black market?" Delia pouted, "I hate them and don't want to accept their favors. ”

"You didn't say that before, because of your parents?"

"Well, I didn't know the truth before, but now I do. Delia's face was gloomy, and she bit her lip and was silent for a while before she whispered, "My opinion is the same as that of you, uncle, and I can understand what they do, but I can't accept it emotionally." It's not because of my life over the years, although it's really painful to be rejected from everyone's subconscious, but I don't really care, but they have put my parents on the stigma for so many years, and they have to carry it forever, and I will never forgive them. ”

"Heh......"

"Uncle, you are not allowed to laugh, you are not allowed to laugh. Delia glared at the shadowchasers protestingly, "Let's just think it's a little girl's willfulness, but it's strange that I'd rather live as hard as I used to than accept their handouts, but that's what I thought." ”

"No, no, no, it's not strange at all, on the contrary, it's strange that you don't think so. Shul patted the little one on the head, "But who told you that if you don't accept their favors, you must go back to your old life?"

"Huh?"

"Have you forgotten? I told you that once you sit in on that conversation, you can't go back, hehe, you can't live like you used to. ”

"Uncle...... What do you mean by that?"

"I ask you, you told us the other day that you wanted to see the Tower of Babel, yes, why, because your parents are missing inside?"

"Well, actually, on the day they left, I heard them say that they were going to the Tower of Babel, and I was very young, and I almost forgot all about them, but I didn't forget this at all, so when I heard the president talk about it today, I immediately understood that my parents were one of them. The girl muttered in a low voice, "I have always felt that they would never betray humans to believe in any kind of machinery, and it is so, it is so. ”

"Heh, that's it, for no other reason?"

"There's another reason, it's a child's fantasy. Delia's face was slightly red, and she said wryly, "There has been a legend from a long time ago that the Tower of Babel hides many pre-mechanical secrets, and once you master these secrets, you can become the greatest hero. ”

"Huh?" The Shadow Chasers were stunned for a moment, and Shure asked puzzled, "What is the greatest hero, save the Floating City, or defeat the mechanical beasts to save the planet?"

"I don't know. The girl said embarrassedly, "That's what the legend says, and I guess the person who made up the legend didn't think about it, but even though I knew it was just a legend, I always looked forward to it." ”

"I'm afraid it's not necessarily just a story made up. Shuer and Mia glanced at each other, if it was just Delia who wanted to go, it might just be a story, but since even the people in the black market solemnly mentioned it, I'm afraid it is definitely not such a story, Shuer pondered for a moment, showing a strange smile, "So, do you want to become a hero to change your fate?"

"Huh?"

"Become a hero of the city with us, and then be our ambassador here, hehe, the one who will never be controlled by us?"
