Nero, The Legendary Hunter

Not far away, close enough to be able to see and hear what was said, there was a little boy of 8 to 10 years old and an older man who, by their similarities, must be the boy's father.

The boy held two love apples, one in each hand.

The man approached and asked with a beautiful smile: "Son, could you give daddy one of your apples?"

The boy looked up at his father for a few seconds and then suddenly bit into one of the apples. Soon after, he bit the other one as well.

The father felt his face go cold and lost his smile, he tried not to show disappointment when his son took one of his bitten apples.

The little one looks at his dad with an angel smile and says, "That's the sweetest daddy~"

"Wow."

Nero found this scene quite interesting. She saw the whole process, and she had a slightly bad judgment of the boy, but when she heard what the boy said at the end, she muttered: "That's why it's important to give the other a chance to explain himself, if you jump to conclusions, you can end up causing a misunderstanding..."

"It is true." Jana agreed.

This scene wasn't missed by Jana and the rest, they noticed when it happened by being too close.

"Nero, for you." Yui handed her a very generous skewer of meat.

"Thanks." Nero smiled as he took it.

The succulent taste of meat exploded in her mouth the moment she bit into it. It was very tasty, no wonder there was such a long line and it smelled so good.

'Is it made from some kind of rare meat?' Nero asked himself doubtfully.

Of course, although she was enjoying herself, she didn't forget about the enemies lurking. She placed the map in the lower right corner and looked at the map quite often.

"Tasty?" Yui asked expectantly.

Nero thought she was cute and rubbed her head with his free hand: "Yes, tasty."

"Hehe~" Yui giggled like a bell in a deeper tone.

Choko pouted, she said in a coquettish tone, "And me, I don't win, Yui?"

"Ahh, yes, yes." Yui was shocked, so she went to the seller and bought another one for Choko.

"Hahaha." Choko saw this and chuckled quietly.

Nero held back not to laugh out loud.

"Zero Nine, think of a way to separate her from the pack." A little impatient, a man in colorful clothing and clown makeup on his face said as he approached a man wearing green and black camouflage clothing.

"Mm, why don't you go there." Zero Nine suggested in a low voice, "Stive, use the tricks you've learned and try to entertain them. When that happens, I'll think of a way to get the two girls' attention."

"...okay, I'll try." Stive joined the crowd, walking past them, he walked towards a certain group.

.

"Oh..." Nero opened his eyes wide. She was surprised by the man who appeared in front of them. 'A clown enemy?' There was a hint of amusement on her lips at the thought of it.

"Hello, young people~" The man said almost humming, "My name is Pepper, and I'm going to tell you a short funny story, okay?"

"Well..."

Nero and the rest did not refuse.

The man with a smile on his face said: "The drunk was staggering down a large slope, clutching a bottle of cachaça, when he suddenly stumbled and rolled down the slope. Upon reaching the end of the slope, he gets up a little worried, groping himself when he discovers that his shirt was wet. - I hope its blood...!"

"I don't understand, degozaru," Jingu looked quite confused to see them laugh.

Honda sighed and explained, "It's because the drunk didn't want it to be the cachaça."

"Ohh, hahaha, it's a little funny, degozaru." Jingu laughed.

Meanwhile, the man who appeared to be dressed as a clown saw his partner and continued to distract them.

The man approached Nero and Choko and caught their attention and asked regretfully, "Did you two happen to see a 10-year-old girl pass by?" He looked like he was about to cry.

"Mmm?" Choko scratched her head and thought, "I don't remember seeing any 10-year-old girls alone."

A glint passed through Nero's eyes and she said, "I haven't seen it either."

"Ohh, I see..." The man looked pitiful, he sighed helplessly and hesitated.

Choko became suspicious when she realized that the man was still there, and didn't go looking for the girl who says she lost him.

The man smiled awkwardly, and said, "Anyway, thanks."

After the man left, he felt confused.

He had used obedience powder. It was too expensive, and he didn't want to use it if he didn't have to. However, when he used it on Nero and Choko, he soon realized that it had no effect.

'How can this be?' The man was confused and angry. He's used this powder before... This wasn't supposed to happen.

"Nero, what was that, exactly, do you know?" Choko didn't know why, but she felt that Nero knew something.

"Yes, this man tried to use some kind of trick to trick us," Nero said slowly.

"Bastard!" Choko wanted to run after the man but was stopped by Nero.

"Take your time," Nero whispered something in her ear.

Amazed, Choko exclaimed, "Is this for real?!?"

"Shh! Don't alert them," Nero muttered.

"Ohh..." Choko forced herself to calm down. She then looked strangely at the man dressed as a clown who was telling jokes.

Around the man, besides Honda, Jingu, and the rest, there were more people who were interested in the jokes told by the man.

"What do we do?" Choko came to understand that she and Nero were the target.

"Nothing for now." Nero whispered, "Now that their first attempt didn't work, it's possible for them to communicate with whoever is behind this, if not, we'll keep trying to see if they get in touch with the person behind this."

"I understand, I will cooperate with you, tell me what I need to do," Choko said in a low voice.

"And so..."
