"Alright, Silver Wolf, first don't play, we have found our target."
Kafka waved at Silver Wolf.
"Hm? So soon? Alright…"
Silver Wolf, slightly unwilling, stepped out of the range of these strange objects.
She walked to Kafka's side, coming into view was a girl with brown short hair wearing a jacket.
"Only her…? BOSS did not say to use the star core…"
"Plan changed, Elio obtained a new star core through another channel."
Kafka raised her hand, looking at the time on the watch.
"Should be about right…"
"Careful!"
Silver Wolf shouted. A phantasmal soldier, hidden somewhere unknown, suddenly appeared, swinging a blade toward the back of Kafka.
Silver Wolf was about to act, but her expression suddenly changed.
Quantum sea, how…
How could it be so violent!
Boom——!!
Quantum tides surged, the violent energy current exploded, and the raging air wave tore this unlucky phantasmal soldier into countless fragments.
"Ugh…"
Silver Wolf and Kafka clenched their teeth, mobilising the power of their respective Paths, to resist this suddenly arriving high-energy disturbance.
Kafka covered her eyes with her hand, through the gaps between her fingers, she saw two figures gradually becoming clear within the dark blue eerie light.
"Ugh~ Waaah~"
Kirara's face went pale, slid off from Kifu, collapsing into a cat-bun shape.
"Dizzy…"
"Sorry, the vehicle speed was a bit fast."
Kifu supported Kirara's arm, speaking with a slight apology.
He looked at the two standing cautiously in front of him.
"Hm? You are… Kafka and Silver Wolf? Looks like I did not arrive late."
Kifu pulled a black briefcase from the void, directly handing it to Kafka.
"Here, your boss Elio's package."
"..."
Meeting Kifu's gaze for a moment, in Kafka's rose-purple pupils, a faint imperceptible wave of light flashed.
Perceptual fragments collection, failed.
Suggestion effect, failed.
Multi-dimensional psychological analysis, failed.
Ugh…
Strange guy…
Where did Elio find this person?
From Kafka's perspective, Kifu's existence seemed like an unknowable black hole, crazily devouring everything in the real world.
"Hehe… interesting, how to say… truly worthy of Elio, always able to give people surprises and unexpected things."
Kafka lightly laughed, taking the briefcase from Kifu's hand.
Click——
The briefcase opened, revealing the star core placed inside.
Golden radiance poured out, illuminating every person's face.
"If the goods received are correct, please sign here."
Kifu handed a sheet of paper to Kafka.
Kafka first casually took it.
She saw the column marked for carrier.
"Komahoya Express Delivery Company? President… Kifu?"
"…Even daring to take dangerous goods like star cores, the strange companies in the universe are really increasing."
After silently sighing in her heart, Kafka prepared to sign on the paper.
Immediately, she noticed the column at the very end, labelled transport cost.
"One hundred billion credit points?!! What a joke!"
