S3C Chapter 71: Next Generation

Elizabeth POV

Liz was sitting on her bed, sighing at her own negligence.

Liz: Okay, so maybe I forgot you were coming today. Maybe!

She spoke defensively to the Inkling boy.

Liz: But look, if I did, it's because I'm real busy around here with my work.

The Inkling boy did not say anything, just gave her a skeptical glance with an eyebrow raised.

Liz: It's a real job this time! Stop looking at me like I'm doing something shady. I've got more than one thing on my plate, even.

As if she knew what he was thinking, she spoke up with retorts before he could openly question her words.

Before this song and dance could continue, though, a perfect distraction arrived as a knock on the door.

Liz: Oh, I've got to get that, it's important.

She said with a smile as she quickly made her way over to the door to open it.

Upon opening the door, she was greeted by (Y/N).

(Y/N): Hey, Liz, how- uh... Am I interrupting something?

Liz: Huh?

Liz asked confusedly, before looking back at the Inkling boy in her room.

Liz: Oh, you mean him? That's my little brother, Tript.

(Y/N): You have a little brother?

Liz: Did I never mention him before?

Tript: I'm not surprised she didn't, with how forgetful she is. She didn't mention she had a boyfriend either.

Liz flicked her younger brother's forehead.

Liz: Not my boyfriend.

Tript rubbed his forehead where she flicked with a disgruntled look on his face while she turned back to (Y/N).

Liz: I forgot he was coming over today.

She told (Y/N), motioning toward her little brother.

(Y/N): Right, then should I go?

Liz: No, if you're fine with him being around, you can stay. I could even use your help still.

(Y/N): Sure, so what's up here?

Liz: Well, my little bro isn't just here to visit his big sis, he also wants to try out some turf war in Inkopolis. Which, you would also be perfect help for.

(Y/N): Oh, turf war? Yeah, I'm the expert who can help you out with that one!

(Y/N) said with pride, boasting his skill.

(Y/N): I'm even better than your sister is.

Liz: Watch it...

Tript: You are?

(Y/N): Sure am! I'll have you know, I'm an X rank, while Liz only ever got to S+.

Liz: X rank wasn't even a thing when I played!

(Y/N): And I was one of the first people to reach it.

Tript: Whoooa, that's pretty cool.

(Y/N): Sure is, but Liz is still pretty good to ask advice from.

Liz backed down from what looked like she was gonna hit him when he complimented her skills rightfully.

(Y/N): So, this is your first time in the city?
