Chapter 139 - Who Is Eggy? (1/2)
”What? Do you want to fight them or something?” Hecathe asked with a small chuckle.
LeiLei pursed her lips and shook her head as she heard this, ”But wouldn't it be too easy?”
”Do you have a problem with it being too easy?” Marvin tilted his head as he questioned.
Hecathe, ”It would be easy only if the mecha-suits listen to us.”
”Which is surely not going to be the case,” Marvin added with a sigh and Hecathe simply nodded his head as he agreed with the boy.
LeiLei frowned as she heard this, ”Then what do we do when they don't listen to us?”
Hecathe's lips curled up in a thin smile as he heard this question which had a clearly obvious answer.
”We might need to use force. It's not something completely out of the equation.”
LeiLei gulped but said nothing to that.
Marvin, ”Instead of worrying about something that hasn't happened yet, shouldn't we be focusing on finding these mecha-suits first?”
Hecathe nodded his head with a sigh, ”Not only do we need to find the mecha-suits but we also need to make sure that the ones we find are the ones causing trouble. The last thing we would want is to accuse the wrong person and cause more problems.”
”We'll go with the original plan and wait for the sunset. Once we have divided up, we'll need to be careful,” Marvin added as he seriously thought about it.
Hecathe looked at the two and spoke, ”If you sense danger then act before you think. It would be best to avoid any fights. Engaging in combat must be the last option left on the plate.”
LeiLei and Marvin nodded in understanding as they heard the man.
They started to plan out the paths that each of them would use and when they were done planning everything, they decided to head out in order to find a perfect waiting spot for them individually.
While LeiLei headed north, Marvin headed East and Hecathe headed west.
These three spots were said to be the ones with the most cases of this mecha-suit incident so it was only natural that they had to check it out.
They lazed around for the rest of day while keeping a close eye on every mecha-suit that they saw on the road.
When the sun had gone down and the sky got dark, all three got serious and waited for the culprit to show himself.
They were in completely different areas inside Ocasia, but they could still connect and talk to each other through the use of QMS.
LeiLei originally didn't own a QMS but Marvin eventually ended up giving her a spare one that he had with him.
”Is there any lead?” Hecathe questioned as he sent the other two this message.
After every twenty minutes, Hecathe would open the QMS just to check up on the other two.
A few hours passed just like this and it was nearly 1 a.m., however, none of them got to meet the mecha-suits who were said to come out at night just to question random people.
”Sir, there are not even that many people here,” LeiLei sighed as she sent Hecathe a response, ”I don't think there would be any chances of them coming here. If the mecha-suits want to harass a person, shouldn't that area actually have people around that are freely roaming outside as preys that could be harassed?”
Hecathe didn't know if the girl was being sarcastic or not, but he still sighed nonetheless as he heard her words.
”Just wait and don't use your head too much,” Hecathe clicked his tongue as he replied, ”Why would you want to harass someone in a crowded place...? A desolated place is clearly much better.”
LeiLei was silent for a few minutes before she sent a response, ”You're right...! That makes sense!”
”...”
”I think the sleep is getting to you,” Marvin chuckled as he commented and Hecathe couldn't help but agree with the boy.
”LeiLei, are you tired?” Hecathe asked with a sigh and the girl responded a bit faster this time.
”Sir, I'm not tired. I'm just sleepy.”
”...”
Weren't they both the same thing...?
Hecathe opened his mouth to say something as a response but before the words could roll out of his tongue, he heard another message from LeiLei.
”I wish Eggy was here to keep me company. It's so creepy being alone here.”
