Someone knocked at the door of the apartment, and Bobby opened it.


Standing in front of the door was one of Andrea's siblings. Bobby remembered her as the one holding a rock when she first saw him. When she saw him, she executed a smart salute. "Bobby's Ewoks, reporting for duty!"


Bobby smirked and let the girl inside the apartment. He noticed that the girl was wearing the armor, pants, and boots he had given them the last time they met. Bobby look around outside suspiciously, saw that no one was doing anything strange or out of place, and then he walked back inside.


"You hungry? I can fix you some breakfast."


The girl looked at the table, saw the remains of the MRE, and wrinkled her nose. "No thanks," she said. "I got this." She showed Bobby a large sweet potato, steamed to perfection.


"Where did you get that?"


"Some guy in street 12th," She said. "The guy has a private garden on top of his rooftop. He only plants sweet potatoes and real potatoes, because he read some book. I think I remember he called it, 'The Martian.' Whatever that means."


Bobby asked if she is willing to buy those potatoes for him and the girl shrugged. "Sure," she said. He gave her a gold coin and negotiated with the little girl to buy him 75 silver coin's worth of sweet potatoes, and she can keep the 25 silver as her commission.


"What's your name again? I won't call you Ewok-2 or something." Bobby insisted.


"Actually, I'm pink Ewok. Anyway, my real name is Aimee, but my brothers call me Ling-ling."


Bobby grabbed several pieces of paper he had prepared just moments ago, and handed them to the little girl ."I want you to bring all of these to your big sister. She will know what to do with them, but just to give you a heads up, she will assign you and your other siblings to go to various places around the base to tell some people when and where to meet."


The girl just shrugged again. "We can do that," She said confidently. Bobby gave her a few more instructions, and then let her out of the apartment. Again, Bobby looked around the surrounding area for anything suspicious but found nothing. He slowly closed the door.


Inside, Bobby rearranged the sofa and the kitchen table to give him a small space in the living room. Then, he proceeded to activate a magic skill he still hadn't tried for days now.


He let the mana swirl around his body and then gathered it into one hand. Bobby noticed how easy it was to gather Mana these days, and he accepted the changes. He then recited the incantation that was now etched into his head, then slammed his hand to the ground while shouting "Minor summoning!"


A complicated pentagram appeared as golden light on the ground with various runes moving at the edges. Suddenly, a humanoid creature began to rise from the ground in a fetal position. When it was entirely out of the floor, it stretched itself out, including the creature's wings and roared in the small room.
