Station Center /

Adam's Root Station is three times larger than West Station, with more variant ranking Hunters passing by.

Elisa and Ars sat on a bench at the Central Station. By sitting far from each other.

It happened because they had not resolved the problems related to Birdcage before. If Ars didn't disappear, he could have stopped Birdcage easily, but he didn't want to be blamed.

Elisa previously kept pressing Ars so that at least he wanted to say sorry, but it's not that easy to make Ars say sorry to you.

Bird Catcher, the main culprit in the previous crime, told the two of them to wait for him at that spot. They don't know what he wanted to do, but he said he would meet them after some business.

At first glance, the view between Ars and Elisa who sat far apart was like two strangers sitting on one bench. This invited two interested men to hit on Elisa.

"Hey, girl, just sittin alone here?"

"Why are you alone? Waitin for someone?"

At that time, Elisa returned to her full ego self. That's why they won't bother her.

The two random boys realized that Ars was reading a book on the same bench. Think Elisa knows him.

"Hey, ur not with this guy, right?"

"Yeah, because it's not good for being with such a nerd!"

After that, they both laughed at the same time. They are satisfied that they can make fun of Ars. But who would have thought Elisa was also interested in the joke.

"Hey, this gurl just smilin!"

"Yeahh, maybe this nerd dude is a laughingstock just like we think!"

After that they laughed again. Elisa also smiled, despising.

The atmosphere becomes the laughter of those who feel they are on the top. Even so, the victim, Ars, used to such an atmosphere. Plus, there is already someone who will solve the problem.

"U guys havin fun here, yea?"

The deep, feminine voice dimmed the smiles of those laughing.

"Shit, it's her!"

"Run!"

The bullies run, but in midair. The two of them got picked up by someone behind.

"How many times do I have to tell you to stop?"

"No-no-no, please, not that!"

"I'm sorry! Hey, dude! We are just joking?! We are actually friends, right ?!"

That question is also a request for help for Ars.

Ars is actually a good person. He will give good people his kindness.

"Sssh, u two r, Kid and Bred?"

Kid and Bred see face to face, then nodded loudly.

"Yea-yea! Glad u notice us!"

"U heard'im! Now, please put us!"

Ars is a good person. But of course, not to anyone. "Is that really their name?" asked Ars to the person who lifted Kid and Bred.

"What?!"

"Hey dude, ur joking, right?"

Kid and Bred feel that the woman that catches them will do as usual.

"No," said the woman. "You are Dick!"

"Nooooooooooooooooo!"

The woman threw Dick far west.

"No-no-no!"

"And you are Asshole!"

"Moooooooooooomm!"

The woman threw Asshole farther east.

The two friends being thrown far away in different directions. The action invited many people's eyes to see. Especially for people who know the woman.

"Way to go, Diana!"

"That's our SJW for you!"

The one standing up to save the day is a tall, dark-skinned woman with caramel-white hair. One word to describe her body is, thick. Plus, a tough-looking-pretty face, and a big brings-happy smile.

If their world was a fantasy world, and Diana had long ears, she was a very suitable incarnation for the Dark Elves.

At first glance you will definitely judge her with:

"Wow, you're so -" "Sexy." "- beautiful."

A man's lecherous mutter interrupted Elisa's words.

Diana had heard that compliment many times. So she just smiled happily in response.

"Thanks, I guess."

Elisa feels honored to be saved by such a beautiful and strong woman.

"Um, thank you for helping us. But I don't think you have to go that far. Because this guy actually enjoys being insulted like that."

"Damn, are you a man like that?" asked Diana to Ars.

Being looked at as disgusting by a girl, and astonished by the dark elf woman, Ars smiled disparagingly.

"Judge me as you like. Just wait until I get my revenge."

Elisa shivered at Ars's threat. She jumped, then took cover behind Diana.

"Please help, he's going to molest me!"

"Hah! A flat girl like you? No, thank you."

That sentence hurt Elisa. She is angry, and will turn into her fierce lion side.

Responding to the threat, Ars stood up. Then direct his right hand forward. For one reason, his two eyes glowed red as he glared.

They both prepare to fight.

That situation confused Diana once again. Why are they hating each other that much?

"Hey-hey, how about we do a ceasefire first? I know a restaurant that sells good food! My treat!"

Ars was the first to lower his hand. Then Elisa followed, though still not taking her hands off Diana.

"Alright, follow me."

They started walking with Diana as their guide.

Floor 2 / Afternoon

That afternoon, the Station getting so busy. You can see that many Hunters have just returned from hunting. Some walk away laughing cheerfully, or annoyed that they don't get the results they expected.

"But, it's so cold over here."

Despite that busy road, due to the previous quarrels, the atmosphere during Diana's group trip is cold.

Diana couldn't stand being in a group that gave off such a cold aura.

"H-hey, you two from Floor 1, right? Is it your first time going down Floor 2?"

"Actually, I'm from Shield City, so, no. It is not my first time." "I will own this entire floor within half a year."

"Oh, that's good to hear -"

The atmosphere turned cold again because a man destroyed the atmosphere with his words.

"Ok, here we are."

They have arrived.

"It is ..." "Chinese restaurant?"

"Yes! They have the best food in the world! Let's go in!"

"My mom's cook is no.1 in my heart."

The three of them go inside. The atmosphere inside is so crowded with the voices of the Hunters.

Elisa amazed by the beauty of the restaurant and the atmosphere. Next to her, Ars showed an expression of disappointment that he never showed during the story.

Diana approaches the reception desk. The Chinese-dressed receptionist smiled at her arrival.

"Hey, Ling. Is my favorite table still up?"

"We always keep your table ready for your use, Lady Diana."

"Great! Let's go guys!"

Diana led the three of them to the 3rd floor. To a table on the west side. There you can see the phantasm sun starting to set.

Elisa immediately ran to look out the window. "Wow, we can see almost everything here!"

Ars sat in the same chair as Elisa. Meanwhile, Diana is in the opposite chair.

"Ok guys, don't waste your time. We have to order quickly before we get the last number served."

Elisa and Ars did as told. Take the menu book, then look at the food they will order.

Everything feels natural because Diana's attitude is so friendly to them. But at that moment they realized that what Diana had done was too kind to do to strangers.

"Um, I'm sorry, Miss Diana."

Elisa opened the conversation.

"Yes, what is it? You don't like Chinese food?"

"No, that's not it. I don't want this to sound harsh, but, why did you this kind to us? We don't even know each other."

Elisa's question made Diana aware of something.

"Oh, my god! I'm so dumb. I'm sorry. I forgot that I'm not wearing my battle suit. But I thought you already know me."

Ars and Elisa stared at each other, asking silently, then they finally realized who Diana is.

"Wait, you are-!"
