The dust settled, and the they saw a silver-white armor standing between the two. The armor's two hands stretched out, blocking the attacks of Lin and the Giant Spider.
"Who are you! Do you want to save them?!"
Seeing the Giant Spider's attack blocked, the man shouted fiercely at the silver-white figure below.
What he hated most was variables appearing in his plan. Originally, he was sure he could at least keep one of the people on the other side, but now everything had become an unknown.
"I told you, I'm here to ask for directions. Where is this?"
Facing his questioning, the person inside armor simply asking once more.
At this moment, Yui was the first to react. This strange guy in front of her seemed to have effortlessly blocked the attacks of Lin and the Giant Spider, so her strength must be formidable. Thus, she quickly answered Firefly's question:
"This is one of the outermost cities of the Europa Order Alliance. This city is called Grenource, and where we are now is outside of it."
"I see. It seems I didn't run to another world."
After hearing Yui's answer, Firefly released Lin and the Giant Spider's leg. Then she turned around and continued to ask Yui:
"Do you know the Pan-Pacific?"
"I know, I know!"
Yui nodded quickly, she was eager for this guy to ask more questions; the longer it dragged on, the more advantageous it would be for them.
"That country is a relatively extreme place. There are no individual cities there, only three large districts, There..."
"Enough." Firefly waved her hand, interrupting Yui's narration. "I know all of that. I just want to ask, if I want to go back there from here, how far is it?"
"How far..."
Upon hearing this question, Yui was momentarily stunned, then began to ponder the distance.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, she shook her head and answered with a hint of disappointment:
"I'm not sure. I've never specifically looked into the Pan-Pacific, so I don't know how far it is from here."
But very quickly, Yui looked up at Firefly, "However, I have a world map at home. As long as I go back and get the world map, I'll definitely be able to answer."
Firefly found it somewhat amusing to see Yui looking at her with a nervous, worried, yet hopeful gaze.
Although she didn't know if the person in front of her was being truthful about not knowing, one thing she was certain of.
That is, Yui knew that she would make the opposite man wary. If she agreed to this, then he would not dare to act rashly, and they would be saved.
So, would Firefly, who knew all the truth, fall for it?
"Okay, lead the way, and call your companion over as well."
Of course she would! After all, that's what she had intended to do from the start.
Only a second had passed since the four consecutive explosions, and she had already arrived at the scene.
Afterward, Firefly had been hiding not far away, listening to their actions and conversations, just like watching a movie, thoroughly enjoying it.
It wasn't until she saw that the two seemed to be unable to hold on any longer that she stepped in to stop the big spider.
"Okay! Please follow me!"
Upon hearing Firefly's reply, Yui's eyes instantly lit up. She then quickly jogged over and pulled Lin, who was still standing there, clueless about the situation, closer.
"Wait a minute!" Just as they were about to leave, the man on the spider's back suddenly spoke, "These two were already within my grasp. Isn't it a bit disrespectful for you to just take them away without a word?"
"The spider beneath me is at least A-class, and the organization I belong to, the Beast Cult, has considerable strength, at least A+ class. Are you sure you want to be our enemy?!"
"Be your enemy? I don't care." After hearing what the Black Robed Man said, Firefly turned and looked at the Black Robed Man, "You only need to consider one thing: if you want to be my enemy, then you must be prepared for your organization to be annihilated by me."
Under the concealment of the sam armor, Firefly's voice at this moment appeared both calm and indifferent, making Yui, who stood beside her, feel a chill.
"You!" Upon hearing this, the man's hand, hidden beneath his black robe, instantly clenched into a fist and trembled slightly. He had never suffered such a humiliation.
He wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth for a long time without speaking. In the end, he could only leave a harsh threat:
"No matter how strong you are, you can't be stronger than the entire Beast Cult! Since you're so arrogant, then prepare to face the wrath of the Beast Cult!"
With that, he directly controlled the Giant Spider and began to walk deeper into the forest.
Watching him gradually depart, Firefly also turned around, no longer bothering with the Giant Spider.
'Hmph, is this the confidence that comes with the raw strength? It's so exhilarating!'
'There's no need to consider the consequences of causing trouble, because I am the truth! Trouble is just a seasoning for life!'
Watching him look at her with displeasure but unable to do anything, she felt a bit excited.
No one could tell that beneath this cool, silver-white armor, there was actually a somewhat chuunibyou girl who just wanted to show off.
"Let's go."
Soon, Firefly adjusted her mood, then spoke to Yui and the other girl.
"O-okay..."
Yui swallowed, then quickly agreed, pulling Lin and heading towards home.
This person seemed really difficult to get along with. She hadn't just escaped one danger to fall into another, had she!
...
"Oh, right." Halfway there, Firefly suddenly remembered something, "Do you know where the fastest place to earn credit points is?"
"credit points?"
Hearing Firefly's question, Yui stopped and took out a badge from her bag.
"The Mercenary Association is a very fast place to earn credit points, and we are from the Mercenary Association."
"There, mission rewards range from tens of credit points to hundreds of thousands of credit points. As long as you have strong power, it can be said that the Mercenary Association is the fastest place to make money."
After speaking, she turned and pointed in the direction they had just come from.
"For example, that A-class Giant Spider, if you can bring back the crystal core from its, then it could sell for at least a million credit points at the Mercenary Association. If most of its body remains intact, it could sell for an even higher price."
...
"That? What's wrong with you?"
Looking at the silver-white armor that suddenly stood still, Yui asked cautiously.
"Nothing, I suddenly remembered something very important I haven't done. I'll be right back."
With that, Firefly also turned and looked in that direction. Then, with a push of her legs, the ground instantly cracked, and after a strong gust of air accompanied by scorching fire, her figure instantly vanished from the spot.
