Otaku City: New World Rising

Returning

{Fuji Game Store, Otaku City}
Narumi returns to find Dylan sipping on his grape green tea. In her arms lies the unconscious girl from the truck. Narumi lays her down on a nearby sofa. "I need to analyse her" Dylan says suddenly, Narumi turns to Dylan "Perv..". Dylan's face doesn't change "You know what I mean. We need to see if she's a Witch. If not, try and see if that stuff she's been injected with is the Crystalis Drug". Narumi looks down at the girl, her body lying there, helplessly. Narumi grabs a syringe packet at takes a sample of her blood. "Here" Narumi says while throwing the capped syringe at Dylan, he catches it. Narumi continues "I already ran her face through all facial recognition softwares", "and...?" Dylan asks.
"She didn't come up"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean her face isn't in the facial recognition database. She doesn't exist"
Suddenly, the girl rose up and looked around "Whats going on, where am I?". Narumi quickly tends to the girl "It's okay" she says "Can you tell me your name?". The girl looks confused "LE-417" she says, Narumi is hit with a sense of confusion herself "I'm sorry what?" She replied. "I don't know" The girl said "That's the name the people I was with called me..." she pulls her hair up to reveal a Tattoo on her neck with the same code. Dylan becomes intrigued by this "Who are they?" he asks. The girl starts burying her face in her hands "I-I don't know" she replies "It hurts to remember". Narumi starts to comfort her "it's okay, it's okay...". Narumi looks at the code on her neck "L-E huh" she says to herself "I'll call you 'Ely' then". The girl looks up at Narumi "Ely... that sounds nice..." she start blacking out and falls onto Narumi's lap. Narumi responds to this with a small yelp. "It's okay" Dylan says "She seems to be exhausted", Dylan stands up and starts setting up some equipment on a table "I'm going to analyse this blood and see if her DNA matches anything in the ShivaCloud. Until then, I'm going to need you to take care of her". Narumi stares at Dylan in confusion "What do you mean by "Take care of her" ". "I don't know" Dylan says "Give her a shower, give her some clean clothes. She looks like she could use a girls day out". Narumi looks back down at Ely "Fine. I guess I will".

After a shower. Narumi sits down with Ely and starts doing her hair. "So Ely.." Narumi says "Do you remember anything yet?". Ely looks around the room "Not really, I do remember that they used to inject me with something though...". Narumi now realises what the marks on her arms are "Is it the Crystalis Drug?" She asks, "I'm not sure" Ely replies "All I remember is... it felt cold when it went into my arm. And it hurt every time it happened aswell". Tears start to drop from Ely's eyes, Narumi decides not to touch into the subject quite yet. While brushing Ely's hair, Narumi notices something small on Narumi's neck. After close inspection, Narumi realises exactly what it is, A first generation ShivaNano. Narumi pulls her wrist out to reveal a watch, she presses on the watch. The following message appears on her field of view from her ShivaNano.

{Estimated Wait time: 7 Hours}
"7 HOURS!" Narumi says. "Umm, Narumi?" Ely says "What do you mean by 7 Hours?". Narumi looks down at Ely, realising what she just did."Oh nothing" she says "Just a notification from a game I'm playing".

Afterwards, Narumi let Ely gives some of her old clothes and tries them on. Half an hour passes and Ely doesn't seem to like any of the clothes given to her by Narumi. So the two of them decide to go out shopping for new clothes.
Within the shopping centre, Ely goes to numerous clothes stores to see which clothes she likes. The two of them are inside a Uniqlo™️. "Ely" Narumi says in a annoyed voice "not to be annoying, but it's been hours. Can you just pick something and go!". Ely turns back to Narumi "But none of these clothes seem to match me... they seem too...", Narumi is confused "Too what?!?", Ely blushes "Girly...". Narumi facepalms herself, she is quite surprised by this however and ponders about it for a while. When she looks up, Ely is completely gone. Narumi suddenly starts panicking "Ely!".
Narumi suddenly senses the presence of someone behind her, she turns around to see none other than Yoshisawa Aoi. "Hello Neko!" Aoi says "Haha, get it. It rhymes". Narumi pulls her arm out to materialises her weapon, "uh uh uh" Aoi cuts in "You don't want to make a scene here". Narumi lowers her hand, Aoi continues "How's your new friend?. What do you call her again?, Ely?". Narumi doesn't want to play Narumi's game "Who is she?", Aoi smiles "She's special, and both of us need her if we wish to make it come true". Narumi is confused "Make what come true?" she asks. Aoi giggles "Our new world". Aoi suddenly disappears. "NARUMI!" Ely shrieks from a distance. Narumi instantly dashes towards where she heard the voice. She finds herself in the changing room, the curtail is pulled aside to reveal Ely's new clothes. A stylish fitted jacket with black tracksuit pants, A pair of designer sneakers and a hat on top of her head. Narumi is relieved that nothing bad happened to her "Where did you get this stuff?" Narumi asks, Ely shyly looks away "The men's section..." she says quietly. Narumi starts laughing at this response, Ely begins to laugh as well. The two search for some similar clothes and begin walking to the checkout. After looking at Ely in these clothes, Narumi becomes reminded of someone with a similarly bland fashion sense, Taiyou's fashion sense.

The two arrive home after getting some ramen for dinner, Ely retreats to her newly made room inside the housing unit.

Narumi begins to read the information, her heart sinks. She starts running out of the house and into the Fuji a Game Store. Narumi makes it into the Secret Room beneath the store. She finds Dylan siting on a chair.
"Dylan!, you need hear this. While brushing Ely's hair, I found a First Gen ShivaNano on her neck. I hacked it and you won't believe who's data was on it".
Dylan stares at her grimly "It was Taiyou's". Narumi is shocked to hear this from Dylan
"H-how did you know?"
Dylan looks towards the table with the testing equipment "You know that vile of blood we got from Ely earlier today" he says to Narumi "When I ran the test and did the DNA match... The only person in the world who shares close enough of a match... was Sakura Taiyou". The two of them look at each other, both wondering the same thing. Who was this girl...
