Poverty makes me capable of anything.

An Ran raised her head and suddenly realized that she was being watched.

That strange, questioning look was clearly not Heloise's.

Heloise's gaze was either as deep as the sea or as scorching as if it wanted to melt her.

So Anran put on the auxiliary mask.

Because she had a camera installed near her ear, An Ran was able to spot the person staring at her on the screen even without turning around.

She's a very attractive older sister.

He sat at a table by the roadside, seemingly chatting with others, but would occasionally turn his head to glance at An Ran.

Why am I being targeted? Have I shown any signs of being different from others lately?

Anran compared herself to other Star Hunters.

The only difference is that she's prettier?

Emmm...

Okay, enough with the narcissism. If the person she was following was a male NPC, Anran would continue to fantasize.

That could be due to something like the task she posted or her identity being exposed.

It's a pity the detectors are too big, otherwise Anran could have sent two over to scout.

She combined nanotechnology with blueprints for a bee-like detector, and after several attempts, the result was blueprints for a nanomaterial bee-like detector robot.

Steamed bun slices.

It hasn't gotten any smaller, it's just a bit harder.

Anran pretended nothing had happened and waited outside the door for a while before Heloise hurriedly came out.

"How about it?"

"I found a message that wasn't recorded online."

"What news?"

"The Mannstone Mine first appeared more than 800 years ago, in the vicinity of the present-day Nagria Border Region. This timeframe is not far from the founding of the Mechanicus, only 6 years ago."

"..."

Anran couldn't help but admire Heloise's keen insight.

If she were the one investigating, she probably wouldn't have even considered this possibility.

With a meticulous housekeeper at home and a thoughtful and capable "secretary" outside, life suddenly becomes much more leisurely.

Maggie is a reliable assistant when fighting, and we'll see how An Qianqian grows up...

The team is gradually becoming more complete, which is a good start.

“It’s a very delicate timing. It seems that the significance of the Main Stone Mine to the Mechanicus is far greater than we imagined. However…” Anran put away her auxiliary mask. “What I’m more concerned about is why they would issue such a mission at this critical juncture. I don’t see any difference between now and before. If it’s because the Emperor is critically ill, that doesn’t seem to make any sense at all.”

Compared to this kind of guessing game, it's definitely more fun to just blindly rush through.

An Ran took two steps forward: "Let's wander around a bit more."

"Aren't we just going back?"

"Let's go to the shopping street, buy some food, and I'll also buy you some clothes while I'm at it," An Ran said.

Heloise only had two sets of clothes, which she got from Maggie. They didn't really fit her well; at least in terms of bust size, Heloise was more well-endowed than Maggie.

It's quite normal for a mature woman in her twenties to be better than an 18-year-old girl, so Maqi still has hope.

“Actually, it doesn’t have to be that complicated.” Heloise quickly waved her hand.

An Ran raised an eyebrow: "Don't you feel uncomfortable being constricted? Big Rabbit must be feeling very repressed right now."

"..."

"let's go."

An Ran pulled Heloise, whose face was slightly red.

My skin has gotten thicker than a city wall after adapting to my current body.

……

"They've already left the archive. What should I do now?"

"Hmm..." After a moment of hesitation, the person on the other end said, "Keep following them. If you get discovered, just turn in the mission. It's best to find out why they issued this mission in the first place."

"no problem."

The young woman from the Western Wind stood up.

……

The shopping street in Dessett is still quite popular.

The various ring-shaped and floating-style buildings are not much different from those in other places.

Clear road signs make it easy for even those with poor sense of direction to find their destination.

Anran took Heloise to a lingerie store and did some shopping, but she didn't buy anything for herself because she didn't need it!

This is not a mournful howl.

Honestly, when it comes to breasts, you can have any size you want, as long as you want.

It rose up with a bang.

This level of security is actually quite good; it's convenient for combat, and Anran doesn't intend for anyone else to touch her, so it doesn't matter how it is.

"..."

Heloise was a little shy.

When buying clothes, you always have to try them on and listen to Anran's opinion. Inevitably, there will be some contact. Heloise, who has always lived alone, has not had much of this experience.

She tried to find another topic to talk about.

With a quick glance, I spotted the person on the lower level...

"under……"

"Shh—" An Ran gestured to Heloise to stop talking.

"The ones she's wearing below are also quite nice."

With that, An Ran directly sent what she really wanted to say through the bracelet.

"..."

drop.

Heloise launched the message.

“That person has been following us.”

It turns out we discovered it a long time ago.

Heloise turned around: "How do you know if it looks good or not if you don't even go around to the back to see it?"

Emmm...

What the hell is this?

Is this a temptation?

An Ran rested her chin on her hand, and as she thought of the word "flanking around," she suddenly realized something.

So they were exchanging secret codes. I knew it!

"No need for that. If it looks good from the front, it's sure to look good from the back too. Let's go explore other places and see if there's anything else interesting."

My god, these two are standing on the street and already talking about whether wearing panties looks good. They're so perverted!

Then, the young woman was led around the shopping street by An Ran and Heroine, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. After a while, she felt she couldn't take it anymore.

It's not that my body can't take it, but rather that I'm mentally exhausted.

Wow, those two are really good at lasting!

She can go shopping on her own with the same interest and it lasts just as long, but the experience is completely different when she's being led around by someone.

It's impossible to make her lie down and enjoy it; that's simply not a possibility!

"If you get caught, just hand in the mission!"

This sentence flashed through the mind of the young woman he was following.

In this situation, is it possible to make a slight exception?

"Shall we continue shopping?" Heloise asked.

"It seems he's nearing his end."

Although she didn't say her name, Heloise knew that Anran was referring to the woman she was following. She was already sitting on a roadside chair, looking exhausted.

It's definitely not as comfortable to stay at home as it is outside.

The young woman stared dejectedly at her chest, caught in a moment of internal struggle.

To go or not to go.

If the object is breasts, most people would probably answer "go for it."

Climb to the top!

Enjoy taking on challenges.

Let's go for it then, but we can't make it seem too deliberate.

Thinking of this, the young woman who was following her got up and left the commercial street. After walking quite a distance in the direction of the guild, she brought up the guild's application software and contacted Heloise directly in the background to tell her that she knew the location of the Forgotten River Pirates.

At this point, Anran and Heloise thought she had given up the pursuit and were about to return directly to the Anran.

"We've received a message from the back office saying we should meet directly at the guild entrance."

"Then let's go."

Generally, if necessary, both parties to a task will choose to hand over the task at the guild entrance for safety reasons.
