After a whole week, the brothers built a camp near the ship to settle in temporarily. Luckily, they were near a lake, which made many things easier for them, such as food. They ate fish there, and as for bathing, they bathed in the river. Whenever Sunny needed something, Lilith would go to the city and steal what she needed without telling her brother.
"Well, here's not much left. Maybe we'll be able to go in two days."
Sunny said this while they were eating dinner.
"Really!!"
"Yes, there's not much left. All I need from you is to go to the city tomorrow and bring me some supplies only."
Lilith stands up with joy and stretches her hands up.
"Yes, we'll get out of this place!!"
After saying this, Lilith is silent and sits in her place
With a bright smile in the middle of the night, Lilith says
"Well, it's been a fun week, I'm not going to lie"
Sunny smiles in turn
"Yes, it's been fun, it's good to see you happy"
Suddenly, Lilith reminds her of something
"Speaking of going, what about Carlos and Lisa? Is Lisa waiting for us at the Waringor station?"
"Don't worry, I sent them a message with the vehicle's communication device. It's good that it didn't break, but unfortunately, we'll have to carry out a robbery on Banjima"
Lilith takes a bite of the fish calmly
"I missed them, you know Lisa, it was a wonderful thing, I don't know what it is, but I'm sure it's wonderful"
There's silence for a second
"Yes, I forgot to tell you, Lisa and Carlos are dating, you know?"
Lilith opens her eyes, they were filled with sparkle and curiosity
"WHATAAA!!"
"Haha yes it's crazy right"
Without realizing it, Lilith started asking Sunny about everything, where the confession was, who confessed first, and everything with eyes full of curiosity and excitement
Sunny in turn answered her with a smile splitting his face
Later in the morning, Lilith set off to steal the items Sunny needed as usual
Today there were a lot of people, it was difficult for anyone to steal, but for a professional thief, this is nothing
With skill and agility she steals everything she needs
"Huh, that was easy"
Some children rushing in front of her bump into her, causing everything she stole to fall, and at the same time the store owner notices this
"Hey, stop there!!!!"
"Oh, shit"
Lilith runs at full speed and the store owner kicks her out as well
"Police, she's a thief!!!!"
Some police turn around and start chasing her too
Lilith keeps running until she reaches a dead end
"Oh shit what do I do now??"
And without warning a ladder comes down from the top of one of the buildings
Without thinking Lilith climbs up it
"Hey secret agent get out of here quickly!!!"
Oh it's the boy with the beautiful shoes from that time
"Are you okay spy?"
"Woah, thank you."
Lilite smiles a small smile.
"Oh, I guess I didn't introduce myself in the last corridor. I'm Near. Nice to meet you."
"Oh, right. And--"
Before she can say her name, Near interrupts her.
"Wait, is it okay for you to tell me your name? I mean, are you a spy?
"Oh, no, no, no, I trust you ,anyway I'm Lilithe."
Lilith turns quickly.
"Well, I have to go anyway. Bye."
Lilith turns to leave.
But she feels someone grab her shoulder.
"Hey, I need you. Can you come with me to the festival?"
"Festival???"
"Yes, a festival with the return of Mayor Holl, the man who saved this city from destruction every time you know him?"
Lilith is a little surprised, but she doesn't rush to control herself.
"Oh, of course, Mayor Holl, of course. How did I forget him?" S-Sure I will come..."
Lilith smiles a foolish smile as usual but it seems that Near is much more foolish
The two go to the festival and Lilith wears glasses with a mask to hide her identity
The festival can be described simply in one word as great there is a big vehicle in the middle and it was shiny and beautiful
Lilith's eyes widened from this display
"Wow this is really great!!!"
There were restaurants on the right and left and as usual Lilith was eating without paying
"Umm spy why are you stealing food without paying money? This is a crime"
Near asks her while she tries to swallow a chicken leg
"Umm ahem well as you can see I am a spy I have to eat this food to gain energy to complete my secret mission and everything I took will definitely be returned to its owners..."
As usual Near believes her like an idiot
They spend a nice and enjoyable time together
Lilith stops to play a game because she saw a cute bear
"Yes I won!! look at this, Near."
Lilith turned with a big smile, but... she didn't find Near?
"N-Near?"
No, not just Near, everyone there, everyone at the festival disappeared as if they weren't there.
"Near ... Everyone?"
What's going on here??
Lilith wipes her eyes to make sure this is real
"W-what's going on here?"
Lilith's whole body shudders, her eyes widen and her tongue is unable to say anything
Lilith starts running like crazy, she doesn't know where to run but she just runs, she doesn't have a specific destination but she just runs
She ran until she stumbled and fell to the ground and she is exhausted
What is this strange feeling?
A feeling that Lilith feels for the first time
Is this loneliness??
Being always with her brother, of course she has never felt this feeling before, but just 3 minutes, can it really make you lonely?
No, definitely this is another feeling
She ran and grabbed a knife in one of the huts and tried to cut her hand with it, hoping it was a dream
Her hand holding the knife trembles
Lilith closed her eyes hesitantly with the determination to cut herself
"Lilith...Lilith..."
Her train of thought is interrupted by Nir's distant voice for some reason
"Lilith... Lilith... Lilith!!!"
Lilith opened her eyes in shock
What happened for a moment?
Everyone is back?
Lilith looks into Near's eyes and sweat fills her face
"Lilith you won!!... Lilith??"
Lilith falls on her feet from exhaustion
Seriously what happened now??
Near rushed towards her in panic
"L-Lilith?? What's wrong with you?? Are you okay?"
Lilith's sudden fall caused the residents to panic towards her to check on her
In the back there were two policemen who noticed the gathering and went to check the situation
"Hey, what happened here?"
Lilith's eyes meet the policeman's
"...."
"Hey, you're the thief!!!"
"Oh, shit!!!"
Lilith tries to stand up and run away but she feels tired so she falls to the ground again
"Hey, Near, hurry--"
Before she can finish her words, she is surprised that Near has been arrested by the police
The police catch Lilith and take her to jail
"fack you I was infected!! If I wasn't infected you wouldn't have caught me you bitches!!!"
Lilith screams while holding onto the prison bars
"Huh I knew this would happen"
Near sighs as he says this
"Oh right why did you get caught too??"
"Hmm well you see do you remember the shoe from that time...well it was stolen"
"Ahhh that's why the police chased Near last time"
"I'm really sorry because of me your secret mission failed I'm really sorry"
Near apologizes to Lilith sincerely
"Huh don't worry what happened has happened now we have to find a way to escape"
"Huh???"
Near is surprised by what Lilith says
"Are you serious? Running away? And out of all the days you chose the day Mayor Holl came?"
Lilith turns to him with a little nervousness
"Seriously what could happen? Who is this Mayor Holl??"
Near looks at Lilith with serious eyes that Lilith has never seen before
Lilith shudders from the sight of eye contact with Near
"Lilith you're not from this planet right?"
Lilith gets a little nervous
"W-Who am I? I'm from this planet of course how can you-"
"You're still that stupid even an idiot would know you're not from this planet"
"....."
Silence falls for a few seconds
"Yes I'm not from here"
"I knew that even the story of Linky being a spy I have a little suspicion about"
So he's still really stupid for a moment I thought he was smart
"Okay you are right now tell me about this Mayor Holl or whatever his name is"
"Okay I'll tell you"
