Evening.
Baimu stood before Liu Ge's brightly lit villa and sighed regretfully.
"So he came back after all."
"Why not come clean and tell him you're with the Rescue Organization too? Or move somewhere else? Aren't there plenty of empty houses around here?"
The Porygon Phone offered two different suggestions.
Baimu shook his head. "Forget it."
He would not be staying long. There was no need to have too much contact with acquaintances from the future, lest they notice something off later.
As a Special Investigator, he did not actually need to worry about accommodations.
There was a high-end hotel in central Pyrite Town specifically for guests from Silicon Beryllium City. He had avoided it before because he disliked having the mayor secretly keep people watching him.
After making an example of the River Association today, there should be far fewer minor annoyances if he went to stay there now—

The onlookers wore all kinds of expressions. Some were wildly excited, while others looked as if their parents had died.
