Chapter 61: Calmness
With everything resolved, the group dispersed and went their separate ways, with AA doing the same.
Although she was still a little worried about the boss, the sight of her account showing a balance of 3@ filled her face with a grin she couldn’t hide.
She now had a job—a well-paying one, at that. While it was a bit dangerous, just having a job in The Metropolis was something that made her incredibly happy.
More than the new job, she was eager to integrate herself into the group. Four Ai, Tapai, King Kong, Song 6PUS—she looked forward to getting to know every one of them.
There was one thing she hadn’t told the boss: why she wanted to be a mercenary. It was because she had been alone for a very long time.
From leaving the factory, finding work, being scammed, and even killing—all of it she had done alone. She was utterly lonely.
She craved friendship and didn’t want to be by herself anymore, but no one wanted to be her friend. Everyone was too busy making money, focused only on their own affairs, like soulless money-making machines.
Even in cyberspace, it was the same. In games, everyone only cared about making money.
