Mobius and Sakura stayed at the old lady's place for a few days and left after dealing with all the "threats" around the village.
When they left, they both tacitly left some money for the old lady.
...
After a period of travel, the two arrived at the Kawalerielki, which can be called the most prosperous city in Kazimierz.
However, because they had just arrived, the two had no plans to explore the city yet. Instead, they spent some money and found a hotel to stay in temporarily.
Because of the 23rd Major, the current traffic in Kawalerielki was extremely heavy.
This led to Mobius and the other person spending a lot of money on accommodation alone.
It can only be said that it was fortunate that Sakura had made some money in advance before coming. Otherwise, they might not have been able to afford accommodation for these few months, let alone betting.
Although Sakura herself doesn't like to go out to "make money," there was no other way, as life necessitates it. The people she dealt with before were not good people in the strict sense.
However, after this period of action, Sakura sometimes sighed that it would be better if [Calico Reviere] Pardofelis were unlocked now.
In this way, this kind of "free purchasing behavior" could be handed over to the cat with not very clean hands to complete... What a pity.

"Dr. Mobius, I'm going out to collect some information." Sakura looked at Mobius, who was lying on the table in the room and deeply immersed in various materials, and greeted her softly.
"... Go, go, I'll look at the information again."
After listening to Sakura's words, Mobius raised her head after a while and then waved to her casually.
After accessing the Internet and being able to search for information, Mobius had been in a state of excitement in a sense. Although she had guesses and ideas before, when she actually came into contact with all kinds of knowledge here that she had never seen or learned before, she couldn't stop being excited.
After all, many times, new things and new knowledge also mean more new possibilities. How can this not make Mobius excited?
So, since coming here and getting in touch with the Internet, she started to stay up late with excitement... and it was the kind that Sakura couldn't stop.
In the end, there was no way. Sakura had to let it go helplessly. If it were someone else, she might still worry about whether she would die suddenly.
If it was Mobius, then the problem would not be big. After all, she was also a MANTIS.
"Well, Doctor, you should pay more attention."
After hearing Mobius's reply, Sakura nodded gently and left the hotel.
The two now had a clear division of labor. Mobius was responsible for learning all kinds of new knowledge in this world and then finding a way to enter Rhine Lab.
And Sakura was responsible for activity funds and information collection. For example, now... her main purpose of going out was to investigate Maria's current news.
...
Finally, after some effort, Sakura found the workshop where Maria usually forged things and where she lived.
However, because the people around here had a good relationship with Maria, plus some trivial reasons, Sakura did not choose to contact her rashly. Instead, she chose to return to the hotel after collecting enough information.
...
Hotel Room
"Huh? So fast... Oh, it turns out that it's dark. Time flies so fast."
After seeing Sakura coming back, Mobius slowly raised her head from the "knowledge" and said suddenly.
"Yes, it's dark. Doctor, didn't you order dinner?"
Looking at Mobius, who was a little dazed but with bright eyes, Sakura held her forehead and asked helplessly.
"Oh, I forgot~ The things here are so interesting." Hearing this, Mobius put down the information in her hand, supported her chin with her hand, looked at Sakura with a helpless expression, and said happily.
Because Klein was not here, after spending some time together, Mobius actually liked to tease Sakura.
If it were the real "Mobius" and "Sakura," they would definitely not be very close.
But since they were the same person, then "Sakura" could be considered someone who understood "Mobius", right?
"Let me order you dinner."
Listening to Mobius's words, Sakura shook her head helplessly and then took action.
Of course, Sakura was very clear about the thoughts of a certain Serpent, but she had no choice even if she knew it. She had to spoil her herself.
After Sakura ordered the meal, Mobius narrowed her eyes and asked with a smile:
"So, what did Sakura gain today~"
Although it seemed like she was asking, in fact, Mobius already knew the news that Sakura had inquired and investigated today...
No, to be precise, she already knew everything.
Thinking of this, Mobius had actually wanted to complain for a long time. She found that the way they got along with each other was really like the Seaborn, or it could be called a hive consciousness.
However, no matter how much she wanted to complain, from Mobius's point of view, there was nothing wrong with this kind of thing.
After all, having more alternative people who understood Mobius's life is also a great help to her.
"Doctor, don't you know it? So, next I will try it, but what about you?"
This time, after hearing Mobius's question, Sakura did not answer but raised her doubts.
"Well, Sakura, don't you think it's not good for me to stay in the room all the time? In that case, let me go to meet the little white mouse this time."
As she said this, Mobius showed a sly smile to Sakura, and a hint of interest flashed in her eyes.
"Little white mouse... I hope you will be restrained then." Sakura, who already knew Mobius's plan through telepathy, whispered.
"Hehe~ How could I, such a cute little girl, do something terrible to others~"
When she was halfway through her speech, Mobius's voice suddenly turned childish and crisp.
At the same time, her originally mature appearance also became cute and childish with the change of her voice.
"..."
Looking at this scene, Sakura sighed softly in her heart and silently lit a candle for Maria again.
