Rise of the Phoenix - Apocalypse Rebirth

Chapter 26 - Art Collecting Samples

May 18, 3031 - Country C, City AD

Aria woke up and ate some dumplings for breakfast and got ready. Her schedule has been pretty messed up these few days so waking up at 9am is a nice change. But today she has two purposes.

Take S5- oops, Art- to the mineral market to pick stuff he likes so they can upgrade the mech later on. Thinking about all the gold and silver in her possession right now worth billions of dollars is not enough for the little buttface, Aria felt like she's raising a little fat spoiled child.

Whatever, this will benefit her in the future so just do it.

Perhaps she should rob more of the Li's properties? Hmmm. Nah, she'll hit them again once they rebuild and right before the ZA break out. Oooh, maybe she'll encounter more enemies that she can rob from in the next two years!

Then afterwards, she needed to head back to the park in City H to find the energy source that Eros suspected might be there.

Asking S3 to coordinate with Art to find a good mineral market between City AD to City H, Aria drove towards the nearby mall to buy Art a cute outfit for shopping. All the clothes she had copied were adult clothes which would not fit him.

Going into a high end store with the iconic brown checkered pattern, she saw a cute outfit Art's size. It was a light brown sweatshirt with brown checked elbow patches. She got a white shirt and a pair of jeans for him too. Then seeing the adorable outfit, she went and scanned something similar in her size. Grabbing a few face masks and sunglasses as well as copying pretty much everything they had in their inventory from socks and undies to jackets and ties in every size and gender. Aria paid and then jumped into the G Space to change.

Wearing a pair of dark blue jeans with a white t-shirt and white sneakers, she draped the sweatshirt over her shoulders and put on the mask and sunglasses.

Art: "Sister, do I look good?"

Aria looked at Art in his mini me outfit. He looked like a little young master attending a high class private school in his outfit. But the sweatshirt over his shoulders looked a bit obnoxious. 

She can look that way, but a baby can't.

Tossing the sweatshirt and tugging the shirt underneath aside, she pulled out a thin white long sleeve shirt and a navy blue short sleeved vest. Raising his arms she tugged the 2 tops down and adjusted his clothes.

Giving him the child sized mask and sunglasses, it completed the look.

Ahh! Cute!~

Little Eros: "Are we going to go look for minerals for Art?"

Art: "Yes."

Art turned to Aria for confirmation. She nodded. Art turned back toward the fluff ball and confirmed again.

Art: "Yes. Why?"

Little Eros: "Can I come out too? Not to play! But I need to touch the mineral to confirm if it's good quality to copy."

Art: "How can you come out? People will capture a fluffy ball that moves and talks by itself. Then you will be experimented on and Sister Aria will have to come rescue you because you're useless and have no defensive powers."

Little Eros: "I can- I can disappear! If it's dangerous, I can disappear back into the G Space! And- and I can turn into a ring! So you can wear me and I can sample each stone that you touch. Um. I can also tell you which one to buy for the purest and best growth."

Art looked up at Aria inquiringly. Aria nodded.

The fluff ball can disappear so she's not worried about it.
