In the evening, Cyan planned to go out to eat. The credit card Erni left behind was enough to swipe until her hand cramped.
"Want to come along?"
Cyan looked at Asuka, who was about to leave.
"Me? I'll pass."
Asuka shook her head. It was getting late, and it would be better for her to head back to where she was staying. The security at night wasn't great. Even though she could handle however many people came at her, she didn't want to cause trouble.
"Too bad. Erni left this card and said it's fine to spend up to a million…"
Cyan took out a bank card. This was the credit card Erni had made for her earlier because she was worried Cyan and Nishi wouldn't have money to spend. There was no need to worry about maxing it out. She really was a rich tool person…
Asuka, who was walking toward the door, paused when she heard this. A slightly awkward smile appeared on her face.
"I suddenly feel a little hungry…"
"So, where are you staying tonight?"
Cyan looked at Asuka, who had stopped, and spun the credit card with her fingers.
"Can't I just stay here for one night?!"
Asuka said forcefully, "This mansion has so many empty rooms. Even ten more people could stay here!"
"You drive. The place we're eating is a bit far."
Cyan took the keys from under the table and threw them to Asuka.
"So you already knew I would stay. No, how did you know I can drive?"
Asuka caught the car keys. After hearing Cyan's words, she felt like Cyan had dug a pit and was waiting for her to jump in. But looking at that harmless little face of hers, it didn't seem like it.
"I guessed. If you can't drive, we'll just order delivery."
Cyan said calmly. She had even prepared what to do if Asuka couldn't drive — at worst, they would order delivery. And if they couldn't order delivery, they could just ride Unabi to buy food.
"You and Nishi can't cook?"
Asuka sighed while supporting her forehead. Coincidentally, she had once stupidly learned how to cook for a period of time.
"I can't cook, but I can eat."
Cyan said very seriously. Even the soft lines on her face became firmer because of it, giving off a sudden change in art style.
Nishi, who had changed into black short sleeves and shorts, raised her hand and said, "I can make rice balls~!"
The kind with laxatives added!
Nishi didn't say the last part out loud. In the past, she had done even more underhanded things just to survive. Adding something to rice balls was nothing.
...
Asuka raised her hand to support her forehead and sighed.
"We'll eat out. Good thing I learned how to drive. Let me check if I brought my driver's license…"
As she spoke, Asuka took out her wallet from her clothes and found her driver's license.
When the three of them were about to go out to eat, a resentful gaze stared at their backs.
"Uh…"
Asuka turned her head and glanced at Unabi. She didn't dare to meet that resentful gaze and looked at Cyan to ask, "What about Unabi?"
"Hmm…"
Cyan wanted to bring Unabi along, but the restaurant obviously wouldn't let it in. She comforted it, "Unabi, be good and watch the house. I'll bring food back for you."
Unabi nodded reluctantly.
At night, the lights of the beautiful city flickered.
The sound of brakes rang out. The car stopped in the parking lot outside a restaurant. Cyan and Nishi got out of the car.
Asuka pulled out the car keys, closed the car door, pressed the remote to lock it, and caught up with the two.
"You two didn't even wait for me. That's not very nice!"
"We weren't walking fast~"
Nishi said with a grin while looking at the surrounding restaurants and shops.
The three of them found a restaurant and had dinner.
Because their taste buds had been trained by the food made by Chef Mason at Humble Tower Residence, these ordinary-tasting dishes didn't feel as delicious anymore.
After the meal, Cyan packed three portions of vegetable salad to bring home for Unabi.
Bang!
A gunshot broke the peace here. Screams came from afar. Cyan, Nishi, and Asuka looked at each other, then turned and walked toward the car parked in the parking lot. This kind of thing should naturally be left to the police. What could they do even if they went?
Besides exposing that their physical abilities far exceeded ordinary people, they would only bring trouble upon themselves.
"Should we go take a look?"
Nishi said eagerly. When she encountered this kind of chaotic situation, her first thought wasn't to run away, but to go see what was happening. She even wanted to get involved. She was even crazier than a bystander.
"Go do what? Expose that our physical abilities far exceed ordinary people? Then get captured and sent to a research institute for experiments?"
Asuka looked at Nishi like she was an idiot and strode forward. This kind of thing clearly shouldn't be interfered with. She wasn't some superhero with underwear on the outside, nor was she Spider-Man in a spider suit.
As for the innocent people who might die there, that had even less to do with them. Who knew how many people died from gunshots in the United States every year.
After getting in the car, Asuka started the engine and was about to drive away when three men wearing black hoods, holding guns and carrying handbags, ran over. Gold and silver jewelry could be seen inside the handbags. It seemed they had just robbed a jewelry store.
Carjacking?
The car belonged to Erni. She couldn't let them drive it away. It was also possible that they wouldn't come over and would just steal someone else's car to escape first.
After a brief thought, Cyan came to a conclusion. She quietly opened the car window. Then, under the cover of night, her figure disappeared from inside the car like a ghost.
The three men were about to look for a car to drive away when they heard the sound of this car's engine starting. They immediately ran over. The black muzzle of a gun pointed at Asuka, who was sitting in the driver's seat.
"Get out! If you dare pull out the key, I'll blow your head off!"
"Hey, hey… calm down."
Asuka sighed with a helpless expression. She opened the car door. Before she could even step out, one of the men grabbed her arm and forcibly dragged her out of the car.
Cyan, who was hiding in the darkness, had cold light flashing in her eyes. She found the opportunity to make a move!
