Digital Tricksters

Day 2 - Minutes

     ---Luther: Hi Naomi. I'm from this country too. Sorry about this but the one you're talking in front of you is Trent Alpha. He's also called as Phic as his shorter name... Anyway, I really need your help related to him.---

     Right now, Naomi has so many thoughts on this. Of course, she needs to act fast as she is trying to converse to the driver... who is called "Trent Alpha" (or Phic) according to Luther from the sudden electronic message. Naomi now wonders why she was targeted even though she blocked every track of her... Anyhow, Naomi needs to investigate as possible---

     For five seconds later, Naomi finally looked at the driver. As she looked at him, he's already beside her. "Wha!?" Naomi gasped as she backs away a little.

     "Ooh~ Your boyfriend? Girlfriend? Hmm? ...Hmm?" the driver asked as he wiggled his eyebrows.

     ...Honestly, Naomi wants to avoid that question... and wanting to ask the driver with so many questions... but in Naomi's situation, she'll stick to her basic directions as a con artist. As a different identity. She smiled instead, then chuckled. "Haha. Don't be like that! I'm a tourist here, and a traveler! I want to travel new things so I don't have time for relationships. And one of my travels is Country G! A dream come true actually." she optimistically replied.

     While Naomi looks back as she was going to reply to her phone, her phone turns out that it's only the main wallpaper with a secured password and without any new electronic messages. Naomi knew it was coded. She felt that another skilled programmer is about as skilled as Naomi's. For now, Naomi puts her phone back to her bag.

     "Wow! A tourist! No way! You're good at speaking G-ian. Very fluent. Hehe, I thought you're G-ian too." the driver happily said.

     "Um... haha. Thanks." Naomi replied. Then again... "I just learned the words last night as I can to the common way as I speak to foreigners... but I'll keep quiet about it." Naomi thought.

     "Oh. Haha, thanks to you too." the driver replied back. And... there was a short silence between them. Then, the driver starts laughing. Naomi... starts laughing too. Just for the sake of joining.

     Naomi (pretends) finally calms down from laughing. "Hahaha... Hah... It's nice meeting you by the way. I'm Eure. Eure Riano." Naomi said as she introduced herself with her new fake identity.

     Before the driver replied, he... makes a proud yet strange gesture. Almost a move from a kids action show. "...I'm! Angel from Disaster 10th dimension! Phic!!! Just call my name and I'll be there in your imagination!!! ...Uhuh!" he said before he makes an evil laugh. Naomi has no comment.

     "...What the actual f***!? What is that name? It's so obvious that it's not his real name at all!!!" Naomi thought.

     Then, again. Naomi smiled. "...I-Is that your name?" she asked.

     "Ahaha... It's Trent Alpha. You can call me Phic." the driver (Trent) replied.

     "You son of a... You should've said that earlier..." Naomi thought. Honestly, this encounter doesn't surprise Naomi anymore (about finding out Trent's name). She experienced this with her other missions too, about privately telling her some clues. To find out more, Naomi decided to contact "Luther" some other time.

     Naomi continues to act as Eure Riano, the friendly foreigner. "Phic... what an interesting name. I like it. Well... can I still call you Trent?" Naomi smiled in reply. Trent smiled back. "Oh. Sure!"
