Bab 96: Finally Home

Arriving at the apartment area, Noa compressed his motorboard and walked towards the front of the elevator.

When the elevator door opened, he was surprised to see the blue-haired girl standing in front of him.

"Noa! Where have you been? I was looking for you, but you couldn't be found anywhere," So-Rin said, her eyes sparkling.

Noa took a deep breath and replied, "I was on duty." He stepped inside the elevator.

"Really?" So-Rin's eyes narrowed at Noa with a hint of suspicion. "If you were really on duty, your status would still be online in the system, and I would still be able to contact you."

Noa nodded, raising both hands in the air. "Okay, I know I can hide things from you. But there's nothing to worry about. I'm fine now. I'm still alive."

So-Rin's eyes looked glazed, but her voice seemed to choke in her throat. She sighed. "Don't give up," she said in a trembling voice.

Noa nodded and asked, "So, what have you been doing lately?" He pressed the elevator button.
