After the three of them left the security screening hall, they immediately felt as though they had entered another world.
Sunshine, beaches... If not for the virtual screens around them and the aircraft taking off and landing from time to time, this place would have looked exactly like a vacation resort.
"Welcome to Miracle Island, travelers! A world-class space trading port, a sightseeing destination in the Solar System, and a showcase for Ghost Series technology beyond imagination now open their doors to you. Atlantis will take you on a journey around the world..."
An Atlantis promotional video played on a virtual screen over a dozen meters tall nearby. Although the visuals were exquisitely rendered, the three of them, already well acquainted with the Virtual World, were not particularly surprised.
Just then, a blonde girl in a bikini walked over. She looked only thirteen or fourteen, with a delicate, angelic face, fair skin, and a radiant smile. Most striking of all were her azure eyes, so clear they seemed capable of reflecting the entire world.
"K-ka... kawaii!!! Oh! God, have I already reached heaven?" The fat man looked utterly entranced, with "flowers in full bloom" as his backdrop...
"Kawaii, my ass! The sentence starts at three years, you know!" The skinny man smacked the fat man on the head, then darted over to the girl with a whoosh. "Hello, miss. Could I ask you for directions?"
The fat man: "..."
Chris: "..."
"Heehee! My name is Alice. Are you three here on vacation? Would you like a tour guide?" the girl asked them with a giggle.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The two nodded like chickens pecking grain, leaving Chris speechless.
*At least ask the price first! Besides, there's obviously something strange about a girl this young working as a tour guide! Are
