*Starfire's Pov*
Shirley, Little que, and I were a little far from the destruction I caused, Shirely still doesn't know it was my fault. She is so naive~
I paused when I noticed something.
"Fiona, what happened?" Shirley asked as she looked at me with concern.
"I just thought of something, let's keep going" I said as I started walking again.
She looked at me with suspicious eyes but continued walking with me.
'Little que, I just sensed Kyle's aura near this place'
[ What do you expect? He probably noticed the huge barren land that you caused and knew it would be related to you *His eyes rolls in annoyance*]
'I know that but what is worrying me is that Shirely is here with me, there is no way to escape with her slowing me down. I could carry her and run but she will still slow me down. Though I am a level 5, I just upgraded while Kyle has been in level 5 for a longer time, he might have even gotten to level 6 during this time which means he will be able to catch up to me easily especially with Shirley slowing me down.'
[Well, since I can easily program myself to be a level 7 air-powered human, I will be faster so I can carry her. The only problem is that I am too small and have to be dragging her]
'Then why don't you change your physical age to be able to carry her. Don't worry, I will knock her out'
I immediately hit Shirley in the head before she could suspect anything and she fell unconscious.
"You know you should really stop making her unconscious" Little que said rolling his eyes.
"Well, it is much easier~" I said as I laid her on the floor.
"Ok, I am changing now" Little que said and a light glowed from his body.
"Wow! You are so..." I trailed off looking at him.
He had grown taller and looked more manly but he still had his black hair and gold eyes. If he was cute before, now he is super handsome, he can easily get a job as a model.
"Did you finally realise that I am not a little kid?~" He asked with an amused smirk.
He came closer to me, bent his head down, and held my chin to face him.
"You might not look like a little kid now but you are still my little que~" I cooed as I raised my hands to pinch his cheek.
"Tsk! Whatever, I will just carry Shirley" He clicked his tongue in annoyance as he swatted my hand away and carried Shirley on his shoulder.
"Let's go before Kyle gets here or do you want me to carry you too?" He asked smirking as he jumped on a roof.
"Don't worry about me, I can keep up with you~" I said following him.
After 49 minutes, we stopped cause we were far away from Kyle and Shirley will wake up soon.
"Well, I am changing back, we won't want Shirley to wonder about me" He said as he dropped her on the floor.
"Sure" I said and he transformed back into his cute self.
"Huh! What happened?" Shirley asked as she woke up, rubbing her head.
"Someone was after us, I had to run together with you" I explained with a sweet smile.
"Why don't I remember that?" She asked confused
"You probably forgot or hit your head too hard" I said as I stretched my hand to bring her up.
She accepted it and got up while looking around.
"Well, we should be safe from them now" She said relieved as I smiled at her.
'Little que, how much longer till we get to the lab?'
[ Less than 1 hour host, mostly because of what happened now]
'Ok, I can finish my mission soon then~'
"Come on, we have to go and get shelter soon" I said as I started walking.
"Ok" Shirley said as she followed me.
1 hour later, we were in front of a building.
"Come, let's stay here for now, I am tired" I said to Shirley as I yawned.
"Oh! Ok" She said as we entered the building.
[Host, your excuse is lame.]
'Not that lame since Shirley accepted it~'
[...]
{Shirley is dumb, she would fall for anything, host doesn't even need to stress her brain}
Shirley looked around the lab in confusion as I grabbed some papers and started reading.
'This is pretty much what you have told me. Boring~'
[Host, just continue checking]
'I know, that's what I wanted to do anyway'
I saw a file that caught my attention and opened it.
"Jackpot!" I whispered under my breath as Little que came towards me.
'Someone was working on the cure but not in this place, the person is pretty dumb to have written the location in this file though'
[Well, I guess most people are dumb here?]
'Maybe'
"Hey, Shirley, we are leaving now, I am no longer tired" I said facing Shirley who was still looking at some of the equipments.
"Don't touch anything, let's leave now. Hey!" I said exasperatedly as she pulled a lever which opened a door where some zombies were.
I facepalmed in annoyance at how much problem this female lead brings. The zombies were probably some scientists that turned after being exposed to the virus and were locked there for safety reasons, and Shirley just let them all out.
"Ahh!"
As if that wasn't enough, she screamed which made all the zombies pay attention to us.
"Shirley, get out of this building now!" I commanded and she immediately ran out.
"Looking at the bright side, at least you can try out your new level" Little que said as he sat on the table, clearly having no plans to help me, not that I mind~
I destroyed all the zombies in less than 2 minutes and didn't even break a sweat.
"Well, let's go" I said and grabbed little que before leaving the building to notice zombies crowding around Shirley.
"I almost forgot that she is a zombie magnet, but why didn't she just enter her space?" I mumbled and killed all the zombies around her.
"Hey, why didn't you enter your space? You would have been safe in there" I said with disapproval in my eyes as a little smile hung on my lips.
"I... I didn't want you to think I left without you" She said shyly and apologised.
"No need, it's ok." I said dismissedly as I turned around.
"Come on, let's go" I said holding Little que's hand and gesturing towards Shirley.
She quickly followed me and Little que with a happy smile on her face.
'According to your map, that place should be around here'
[Yes host, it is hidden in a building though, take the building to the left to get there]
I entered the building to the left and went to the basement with Shirley still following me.
I knocked and heard someone in the basement move before coming near the door but didn't open it.
"No need to fear, we are humans like you and we have nothing against you. Please, can you open the door?" I asked with a friendly tone.
[And you think the person will just open the door? How dumb do you think they are?]
'Well, according to the file where he wrote his location, I would say, very dumb'
[...]
{She is actually right -_-}
The door opened to show a middle aged man in a lab coat.
We walked in and he closed the door before looking at us and widening his eyes.
"Shirley!" He said surprised.
"Father!" Shirley said as she hugged him.
'I told you the female lead will be connected to this~'
