Nepgear x OC: World's End (Hyperdimension Neptunia fanfic)

Chapter 17 - A new beginning

Author's Note

Just as promised. Here's Chapter 17! And tomorrow I will release chapter 18.

The sudden appearance of Magic is still bugging me until now. What was she doing there in the graveyard? What was her purpose? Was she the one who caused the sudden eruption? I really don't know, but I must seek these answers soon. I have a great feeling that something bad will happen very soon. Very soon.

Lowee - 12pm

Today is another day off for me. Back at the basilicom upon visiting Nepgear in the Planeptune Laboratory, since all of the CPUs are resting from their fight with Magic a few days ago, Nepgear is here in the lab working on something. The lab is full of Nepgear's contraptions and some of her other inventions. She asked of me to grab some robot parts since I am going to Lowee that Blanc asked of me to go there, and the necessary parts she needs are in Lowee, so pretty much a good timing. And I accept her request.

Arriving at the rendezvous which is what it looks like. Some sort of a book convention which is also crowded. Don't tell me I have to take part in this book hunt for Blanc.  At the distance, I can see Noire is with Neptune, and also Vert at my right with Blanc. Weird, that Neptune is already here before me. Maybe it was a coincidence that both Noire and Neptune are already here in Lowee and they were called out by Blanc. Good grief.

Neptune: Yahallo! Perseus!

Noire: Oh? You're here too?

Vert: Oh my, you're also here.

Blanc: Good timing.

And the 5 of us regroup, Blanc gave us some credits and a map. I knew it. She's forcing us to take part in this little book hunt of hers. I can't believe this. And this convention has not only books but also video games too. I did hear about Vert being a gamer and I'm sure she got hooked by this one.

Neptune: Ehhh?? Do we really have to do it?

Yes <
Of course 

Neptune: Ehh?? Mr. Author! Can you please remove those text choices?

Blanc: Come on, Neptune, help me out once in a while.

Noire: Well, I don't really mind, but we don't have any choice as of now since we're already here.

Neptune: But the only choices are Yes, and Of course.

Noire: Say, Blanc, why don't we wait till night time? There are a lot of people and the place is cramped.

Noire does have a point. Why not wait until night time? And it will prove us beneficial and it will be easy for us to buy the books that Blanc wants. But looking at Blanc, I think she doesn't like Noire's idea.

Blanc: If we do that, then there won't be any good books left! And of course, the limited editions of the game will also be out of stock if we waited.

Vert: Oh my! I can't let that happen!

Blanc: *clears throat*Anyways, I want you to go to different stalls and ask for their latest book. Of course, I'll also take part in this mission. We shall meet here in an hour or so.

Vert: All right! I'll be off then!

Blanc: Same here. I need to get my hands on those new fresh books.

Neptune: Oh well, see ya!

Noire: Neptune! Wait!

And with that, they all left and go on their separate ways, except for Noire and Neptune. It looks like Noire has a soft spot for Neptune, chasing after her not wanting to be left alone, but instead, here I am all alone. But I don't mind, I guess I should have a move on or else I won't be able to get those books that Blanc wanted.
