Chapter 3 - Another guest

*Tin...tin...tin....access verified. Please wait a moment...please do an iris scan to confirm further

Agh, this is why I hate to go to the monitoring room. The verification takes a long time. I still have a pile of papers waiting. That damned research team leader, you just put all the work on me because I'm the youngest there. While you? All you do is chatting and disturbing other researchers. Worst part is, you take all the credit from me! What a scumbag, I hope your day will always be Monday, your feet get stubbed on the table, and bird shit dropping on your head. Thank you very much!

*Shinggg...*

*Welcome, researcher Asta. Please take a note, you have 10 minute to go to Monitoring room. If there any-*

Shush. Just let me in okay, have a nice day. My precious time will go waste for your 5-min explanation.

"...Hey you, how can you got here?"

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Hmm...? What is that sound? I feel like I've heard that sound before, but where? Hm....

[ That sound is sound of system verifying the guest. You heard that before^^ ]

!!! Oh crap...Why didn't I think of this earlier? If someone goes missing, they'll definitely go to the monitoring room to find the trace. I have to teleport again, but this monitor took a long time just for making a copy.

[ Trailblazer may try to buy some time^^ ]

[ System will inform Trailblazer if the process finished! ]

Hmm...why I feel like you have prepared all of this? You know that Asta will come don't you?

[ System is system, not a fortune teller ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ ]

Are you sure? You look like-

*Shingg.....*

"...Hey you, how can you got here?" Ah here she come. Because of that system, i didn't have time to think of a good reason. Just if-

"I will ask you one more time. How can you got here?" She ask menacingly. Huft....I just raise both of my hand in resignation.

"...of course through the door, didn't you come in through there too?"

"Don't joke with me. This room cannot be entered by people who are not registered at this station. All the record was written on the front screen, who and what time they entered. Today, I was the first to enter this room. There is no one above my name. So, how can you got here?"

Hmm...what a good reason to bluff her eh?

"Ehem! It's natural that there are people who don't know me. Because of my mentor worriness, I couldn't leave her supervision. But here I am now!" When I said that, Asta was immediately confused.

"Huh? Who are your mentor? What does this 'mentor' have to do with the station?"

"Khe-khe-khe. Nice to meet you, researcher Asta. I am a student of Herta, the owner of this station!"

"...what?"

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

*Crack...Boom!*

"Huft...another failure. Maybe I should go with Herta's suggestion to ask the boy to help me with this research."

"Hey Sara, connect me with Herta."

-Connecting to The Herta.... searching the device.... connecting..... connected!-

"Hmm...it's rare for you to call me first. What happen?"

"I think I need that boy's help. Please arrange that matter for me."

"Hmm~ Okay. I like helping people after all~ I'll send you the detail tomorrow."

"Thank you."

{ Loading... Copy files (1/2) }

[ Trailblazer, 1 file successfully copied ]

Just finished one file? Why the progress is so slow? I feel like it had been an hour.

[ From the time Trailblazer started copying files, 3 minutes had passed. 3 minutes is considered fast. Moreover, this station is a place- ]

Hushh. Don't give the explanation now. Don't you see my situation now? All I need know is information about The Herta.

[ Sorry, Trailblazer. System cannot give the information ]

Huh, why? I need the information so bad.

[ Because Trailblazer level is too low. Trailblazer need to level up to unlock more detailed information about the character ]

Hey, why didn't you tell me sooner!

"...stop." She muttering.

"Huh?" what did she say?

"Stop....stop all the bullshit you're spouting! You think I can be fooled? You think I'm stupid? Why does everyone look down on me?!" She shouted breathlessly.

"Oh, calm down girl. I don't understand what are you saying..."

"You! How dare you even think of tricking me? Do I look stupid to you? Don't think that just because I didn't shoot you straight away, you can do whatever you want. Argh, why is everyone the same!"

Uh...system? Please give the information about Asta.

[ Character Information: Asta

Job: Herta Space's researcher

Notes: (1) She is stressed because of the pile of work given by her team leader. (2) She is often talked about by other researchers behind her back because of her temperament. (3) ??? ]

Aww...You poor girl. Now I feel bad for fooling her. She is just stressed because of her mountain of work. Now she sees me, she just snapped all her annoyance. Huh, if it's me, I'm not only going to end up skipping work, but I'm also going to beat up the team leader. How could they do this to other member? Now I feel like taking revenge on Asta's behalf and taking her out for a walk.

"Why are you so quiet? What are you thinking ab-" Before she could finish speaking, the sound of the door opening was heard again. We both fell into confusion. Who might it be?

*Shingg....*

*Click...clack...

"Look who is here~ We got a guest huh?"

Dear Aeon, please forgive me.
