Night City, Heywood District.

This is Night City's largest residential area, which is where the general public live.

To the north, there is an open-air market and the "Reconciliation Park", which you know as safe and secure, and the "Reconciliation Park" is also a landfill for nuclear waste, and people over there may be affected.

To the south is the slums, with various gangs, which are more dangerous.

Gloria rents it here with her son, the price is not expensive, and it takes dozens of minutes to get to the school by subway.

"Sleeping on the couch again, why don't you go to bed?"

"It's so tiring at the end of the night shift."

Holding the overalls that were used as quilts, Gloria said with a laugh.

I knew that I had set an alarm clock before going to bed, and let David see that he was sleeping on the sofa, what a 'shameful' mother.

"The washing machine stopped and you forgot to top up again?"

Pointing to the bathroom, David asked Gloria.

"I'm sorry, I forgot again~, I'll get it later." After speaking, Gloria didn't wait for David to speak, and continued, "By the way, you said last time, when do you need to upgrade the equipment used in the academy?" ”

"It's okay, I'll find a prosthetic doctor to help me deal with it."

As he spoke, David turned his gaze out the window and put on his coat.

"'Processing'?"

"Uh-huh, that's been taken care of."

"Don't use those pirated copies, I'm paid, I can afford to pay, I must update with the genuine version, okay?"

Unable to help but grasp her coat, Gloria's tone gradually became serious, and even brought a hint of ...... Request.

"Mom, seriously? There's no money to top up the washing machine, that's all, it's okay. ”

I don't know how many times the washing machine is in arrears, he knows what his family's financial situation is, and his mother is tired enough to let himself go to Arasaka University.

Updating the Genuine? It's better to find a prosthetic doctor, as long as you can use it.

"I just forgot! Promise me that you will update with the genuine version. ”

Looking at her son, Gloria said seriously.

"Okay, I know."

He said he agreed, but David's tone was slightly perfunctory and helpless.

………………

Bite~

Dropping off David, Gloria answers Mann's call request.

"Mann, I'm Gloria."

"I'm almost there, when are you coming?"

Mann's familiar voice rang out, and he could be heard to be in a good mood.

"I'm sorry Mann, I just got up, I'll be over later."

She was so tired from the night shift last year that she fell asleep on the sofa as soon as she got home, and if it wasn't for her own David waking herself up, she would still be asleep.

"Don't worry, I'm free all day today, you can talk to me when you arrive, and Dolio and I can go and have two drinks."

"Well, thank you Mann."

A smile appeared on her face, and Gloria thanked her sincerely.

If you didn't cooperate with them, it would not be enough to support your own David after finishing Arasaka Academy with his own salary.

"Haha, Gloria, when did you become so delicate, this is not like you~"

After listening to Gloria's words, Mann teased with a smile.

In his acquaintance, his old friend Gloria is a strong woman who acts decisively, 'works' cautiously, and does not leave any horses, and it seems that the old friend has really been short of money recently.

"Haha~, it's really a little different."

Night City, Civic Center.

It's the safest place in Night City, where there are no dangerous gangs, where corporate celebrities gather, and where the rulers of Night City are all behind the skyscrapers.

The Civic Centre is home to the spectacular Corporate Square and the land-strapped "Downtown" area, which is home to a variety of upscale nightclubs and bars.

Arasaka College is located in the center of the city.

"My lord, this is our own academy in Arasaka, where ...... are gathered."

"Well, that's good."

In Kate's introduction, Xu Qingshan nodded casually while casually looking at the configuration of Arasaka Academy.

During this time, he used the Arasaka duo 'Douglas and Kata' as a first-order springboard to turn Arasaka Saburo into his little brother, and by the way, he also arranged a seat for himself in Arasaka.

Today is his first day as the head of Arasaka, the night city.

"If you want to, you can give ...... to the students here, and they will be absolutely very happy."

"Well, I'm not used to being an example, no more."

"It's me who was abrupt, forgive me."

"It's okay."

'Well, isn't that Gloria?' Is it such a coincidence? ’

While chatting with Kate, Xu Qingshan spotted a familiar figure.

It seems that she is in a hurry, not only is her face full of urgency, but the way she walks forward in small steps is also revealing her anxiety.

Boom~

The two collided together, Xu Qingshan stood still, and casually reached out to pull her backward body.

bumped into someone, Gloria was obviously stunned for a moment, and looked at Xu Qingshan who had pulled her in a daze.

"How did you walk, I don't know who the adult in front of you is, if ......"

Before Gloria and Xu Qingshan could speak, Kata just opened her mouth and said a lot of words to Gloria.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry. ”

was told by Kata, Gloria also reacted, and quickly bent down to apologize to Xu Qingshan, with a very sincere attitude.

This is the Arasaka Tower.,It's not for her to offend any person.,Especially this person is also called an adult by the people next to him.,At first glance, it's a very awesome big man.。

Although it was just a trivial matter like bumping into someone, she could only pray that the other party would not blame her, if that were the case......

"Does an apology work, you have to know ......"

“kata。”

Before Kata finished speaking, he was stopped by Xu Qingshan.

"It's okay, you don't have to pay attention to what he says."

Looking at Gloria, who was worried, Xu Qingshan said with a smile.

Isn't it just a bump, it's not a big deal, just apologize and it's over.

Even if the woman in front of him is not named Gloria, Xu Qingshan will not embarrass the other party.

"I see you're in a hurry, because there should be something, just apologize."

"Thank you so much."

With a deep bow, Gloria made a note of Xu Qingshan's face, and then left in a hurry.

'Son, my mother has been hurt by you. ’

She was going to connect with Mann when she went out today, but a phone call directly brought her to Arasaka Academy.

"Gloria Pacific, something happened to your son, if you have time......"

"Okay, okay, I'll be right over."

Hanging up the call, she immediately turned around and came to Arasaka Academy.

However, the misfortune is not alone, and it almost happened again.

But fortunately, the luck was not so bad that the other party was not angry.

…………

Arasaka Gakuin, Principal's Office.

Here, Gloria meets the headmaster and her troubled boy.

From the principal's mouth, she knew that her son was still using pirated programs, and that some subsystems of the school system had collapsed, which could be said to be a big disaster.

"I'm sorry for the trouble the dog caused."

Gloria sincerely apologized to the principal again.

"I don't think it's all about money, although it does cost a lot of money to maintain the academy's system."

"Of course, I will compensate in full."
