Not The Hero

"Hmmm. Which coat should I bring?" Kafka opened her wardrobe and looked at all the choices she had

"Is there truly something different between all those choices?" To Blade, Kafka's coat collection all mostly looked the same, he never had an eye for fashion

"Oh Bladie~ that lacking sense of fashion is the reason you're the only one without a phone case. Isn't it boring to just have a black phone?" Kafka soon went back to her wardrobe searching before finally picking out a coat "Even Jackie has a colourful phone case you know. Courtesy of Silver Wolf, naturally"

Jack soon peered around the corner upon hearing the mentioning of his name, just as he was about to ask what was going on

"You don't live by beatle juice rules, Jack. No need to spontaneously appear upon hearing the mentioning of your name" Silver Wolf looked up from her phone briefly to offer this snide remark before resuming her activities

"What's beatle juice?" Jack could swear that every strange and obscure reference Silver Wolf makes only serves to confuse everyone who heard it

"Anyways we need to go now" Kafka soon pulled everyone's attention back to her "Bladie, Jack, and I need to head out for that Xianzhou mission. And Wolfie, be a dear and make an algorithm for breaking the Luofu's gates"

"Aight, sure thing" Silver Wolf gave a thumbs up without looking up from her phone "Oh, Jack, mind borrowing me Rahu? I promise to give him back to you when you return"

"What do you need him for?"

"I wanna make some modifications, some upgrades. It's nothing serious if you're worried" Jack still looked skeptical "Come on, you can go a couple of days without your dear conscientous objector"

"You can't possibly be consideri-" Rahu's own words turned out to be his own downfall

"Sure" Jack tossed over Rahu's head which Silver Would caught clumsily

"Nice, he'll be better at hacking thanks to the teachings of master Silver Wolf" She pointed her thumb at her own face and had a teeth showing grin

"Should we go now?" Blade's proposition was soon accepted

"But before that~" Kafka quickly the black cat emanator before picking it up and petting it

"Put me down. I'm an emanator of finality, not a household cat!" Elio's deep disembodied voice soon rang out in the room but he sounded more distressed than his usual calm tone

"Don't miss me too much when I'm gone alright?" Kafka eventually set Elio down on the ground where it soon jumped and ran away "Now let's go"

Jack, Blade, and Kafka soon walked out the door and into the streets below

"Now, there is another reason I need you" Silver Would plugged Rahu's head into her computer allowing him to talk

"What are you trying to do?" Rahu's Cybervoid avatar appeared on her monitor screen

"It's for an upcoming mission. I need to make a deal with a masked fool, and you know how they are like" Silver Wolf blew some bubble gum before it popped "I plan on offering some credits but something tells me that isn't gonna be enough. I want you to dig something up, either an enticing stage for her to play or a dirty little secret"

She took a look outside onto the balcony and for the few times in her life, had a sincere look for the girl looking out onto the vibrant city below, likely counting the ships leaving the harbour

A recording of her own voice suddenly played from her computer "I guess you're pretty soft yourself, in more ways than one"

The hacker grew a slight blush at hearing her own retort thrown right back at her, literally "Never do that again"
