NOVEL NEXT Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Estelaron Hunters
Silver Wolf and Nadie, our names gained worldwide renown in just under a year. We are famous for causing trouble in every corner of Punklorde and became "legendary" figures.
And my cell phone...
-*Why isn't there anyone who can fix it?
Well, your cell phone is a never-before-seen model. Besides, its components are terribly outdated, it's like working with stones for us, it's impossible to get a replacement.
-I know, I just don't want to throw these components away. What do I do if Herta's number is lost because of that?
-Tsk. That woman again, why do you want to meet with her so badly?
-In a way you could say she's my lover... and sugar mommy.
My past with Herta and Firefly is not a secret to Silver Wolf, I revealed everything to her without thinking too much. I mean, she is my partner now, we are an unstoppable duo.
By the way, now my body finally reached 16 and I must say, I'm getting better and better looking. It's a pity that, despite being the same age, Silver Wolf still looks just as petite.
-You just made fun of my height, didn't you?
-What? Of course not, I didn't even open my mouth.
-You don't need to open your mouth for me to know what you think. We're "soul mates", I know all about you.
-You're scary Silvie, you almost sound just like Herta.
-Excuse me?!
Oops. She got angry again.
For some reason, Silver Wolf has a one-sided rivalry with Herta. It's strange that she only gets worked up when I mention Herta, with Firefly she doesn't react like that.
Currently, we find ourselves bored, me lying on the puff bed inside the basement of the fast food restaurant and Silver Wolf lying comfortably on top of me.
At some point, the level of skinship between us rose to the point where we could comfortably bathe together. This kind of relationship was started by Silver Wolf, after I resisted for a while, at some point I accepted this as normal; I don't know how the hell it happened but Silver Wolf herself admitted to manipulating the situation into this.
What I wanted to clarify is, we are looking for a way to leave Punklorde.
In these lands, we no longer have rivalry or goals, we became "legendary".
Because of Silver Wolf, I ended up acquiring part of the Punklorde Lie and started to see the universe as a bit of a game.
For some more stimulation, for a moment I hesitated to call out the name of one of the Aeons that blessed me. At that moment, my instinct warned me not to do so as... they would most likely respond. At that very moment I also knew, the Punklorde Mentality affected me too much.
Luckily, the symptoms are lessening. It's not good to see life only as a video game, at this rate I'll become a second Aha.
-What shall we do? -You want to steal a ship to escape?
-No, let's stay a little longer, Silvie. If my memory serves me right, they should be here any minute.
-They? Who?
-The Estelaron Hunters.
Pam, pam... We heard footsteps coming from somewhere above and approaching.
One, two, three, four people.
A man, a woman, a metal humanoid and... a cat.
Slowly, Silver Wolf got off my lap and I got up from the puff bed.
-It's just like you said, Elio. The boy knows the future and, from Sam's reaction, he really is her fiancé.
After Kafka's comment, Sam, or rather Firefly, unequipped his armor and ran to me. We embraced deeply.
-Long time no see, Firefly.
-As promised, I finally found you.
Thus, we left the planet and... the game called Punklorde is over.

-How interesting, Emanator of 4 Aeons.... How do you manage to please the "gods" so much?
-I wouldn't know if I'd call that pleasing, but I guess it's because I don't belong to this universe.
-Hm... I see, I appreciate your honesty.
-Not at all, Mommy.
-Mommy?
Oops. It slipped out.
Kafka's interest in me was obvious, I can also see that he has a good first impression of my image. What did Elio tell him...?
-Nadie, I would like to invite you to be part of the Estelaron Hunters. Already knowing the future to some degree and already knowing our objective to some degree, your presence would be very helpful.
This cat really doesn't miss a thing.
According to Elio, I am destined to associate with the Estelaron Hunters regardless of the future, thus becoming a strong and reliable ally of theirs.
-Thank you for the invitation, Elio, but I already have a plan in mind.
When I blurted out those words, Firefly, who was refusing to let go of his embrace of me, visibly trembled.
-Hey, won't you stay with me?
-I didn't mean it that way, Firefly. Actually, I intend to stay with you for now. But in the end, I'd rather join the Astral Express if possible. I mean, it's my dream!
Hearing my genuine words, everyone smiled.
-I see, then I won't stop you. At least we can always communicate through our cell phones.
-Ah, about that. My cell phone is broken. After you destroyed that planet, Firefly, you broke my cell phone. That's why I can't get back to Herta Space Station.
-Eeeeeh?! Is it because of me?! Waaah! I'm so sorry! I'll pay for it out of my savings!
-No need...
It's well known Firefly's poor savings...
-On the contrary, I'll transfer half of my credits to you when I fix my cell phone.
-That's too much!
-It's okay, it's my savings and I do what I want.
At that moment, I could feel an increased grip strength in the other embrace.
-Silvie?
-Stop flirting.
-But I'm not flirting?
-Stop flirting.
-Auch auch auch auch! I get it, I'll stop so don't hug me so hard!
At some point, the serious talk that would decide the future of the universe turned into this.
-Ara ara ara, I see you are very popular, Nadie. What a sinful child.
-You're wrong mommy Kafka. I'm actually an adult in mind, it's just that my body is behind.
---Yeah, right.
For some reason, this is the only statement none of the girls believe. I wonder why?
So, for another year, I accompanied the Estelaron Hunters but without being part of their activities. I don't want to be seen as a criminal after all.
