LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 8: CHAPTER8
(The Genshin ship stops at a planet’s atmosphere.)
JAX
I guess this is where the ship was heading huh. What’s the name of this planet?
(Mist types on the hologram keyboard which displays the planet’s name.)
MIST
The name of the planet is Grand Bell.
JAX
Grand Bell huh. Well, let’s go. Adventure on a planet awaits us.
MIST
Before we go, we must turn the ship invisible so that it can’t be raided or stolen by space pirates.
JAX
I think you’re right about that. Where’s the button for that?
MIST
Oh, I found a button for that
(She presses the button which turns the ship invisible.)
MIST
Now no one can find out where our ship’s location is.
(Jax had already gone of the ship.)
MIST
Hey, wait for me!
(At the planet, Jax is amazed how developed the planet is. There are tall skyscrapers. Magnetic roads and hovering cars. He almost gets hit by one.)
DRIVER
Stay out of the road, you fucking bastard!
JAX
Whoa! Everything here is almost as similar to Mandarin.
(Mist grabs him by his hoodie and drags him to the sidewalk.)
MIST
What are you doing standing on the road? Are ya going to get yourself killed?
JAX
Nope. And you do know that physical attacks won’t work on me. The cars will just get damaged.
MIST
And would you have money for insurance?
JAX
Nope.
(His stomach grumbles.)
JAX
I’m getting hungry. How about we stop by somewhere and get something to eat?
MIST
That sounds like a good idea.
(They’re at a Burger restaurant munching on some cheese burgers.)
JAX
The cheese burgers here are quite delicious.
MIST
I totally agree with you.
(He takes a sip of the cola and looks at the hologram TV. It displays the news on The Destruction of Mandarin.)
JAX
They’re airing that huh.
MIST
Yeah. It was a shock to us that Mandarin was destroyed by a Goddess.
JAX
She called herself a Goddess. But she was no Goddess.
MIST
Then what was she?
JAX
I think she was a Schneider.
MIST
A Schneider? You mean those beings known for destroying planets.
JAX
Yeah, those ones. And the Watchers must’ve sent her to destroy the planet.
MIST
Do you have any clues where she is?
JAX
Nope. After transporting me, and my friends away… she kinda disappeared.
MIST
I see.
JAX
Anyways, let’s order more cheese burgers.
MIST
And who’s gonna pay?
(Jax presses buttons on the Menu tablet.)
JAX
Who cares about payment. A pirate never pays for his meals. That was the Number rule that I was taught back in Mandarin. [Or Kanpai taught me that.]
MIST
Hahahaha! I see. Then that’s means we can leave if without paying. You Mandarinians are so carefree. And it’s kinda admirable.
(She chomps on her burger leaving some mayo on her cheek.)
JAX
You got some Mayo on your cheek.
(He wipes it out from her mouth.)
MIST
Thanks.
(She shies away.)
MIST
It seems like we’re on some date.
JAX
Huh?!
MIST
The way, we’re sitting together. Chatting together. And not mentioning that you took away my 1st time.
JAX
Do you want to do it again?
MIST
What?! Not at this place
(Jax lifts his leg to and presses it between her legs.)
JAX
Hmmm… why not? It will be fun.
MIST
Let’s do it somewhere private.
(Just as they were busy talking, some pirates enter the fast food place and shoot in the air with their guns.)
PIRATE 1
Everyone get down! It’s a robbery!
(The civilians do as they told. The pirate then points the gun at the cashier.)
PIRATE 1
Hand over the money in the register to us before we blow your brains up!
CASHIER
Yes?!
(He does so.)
