Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 48 Dinner in Night City ([-])

Lucy and David's upscale place late at night.

The spacious space, tall floor-to-ceiling glass windows, LOFT-style double-layer structure and the location overlooking the entire Night City all reflect the luxury of this residence.

Lucy opened the door to the living room gently, fearing to wake David, who should be asleep at this point.

She took off her off-shoulder coat and threw it on the sofa, getting ready to take a shower.

"You're back." David's voice came from the second floor.

Lucy was startled and looked up at him.

"It's late. Have you had dinner?" David walked down the stairs.

"No, I'm not hungry." Lucy gently sat on the sofa opposite the TV.

"What's wrong? Did you encounter anything when you went out this time?" David sat next to her and asked.

Lucy thought of the Arasaka hacker who was torn to pieces.

"Yeah." She lowered her head and responded softly.

"Can you tell me what happened?" David hugged her and said softly.

".Later, okay?" She couldn't tell David the experimental plan of the Cyborg King Kong, because such detailed and confidential information could not be obtained casually. If pressed, the cause of Mann and Dorio's death might be revealed - —She cherishes this hard-won relationship very much.

"Hmm." The boy from Santo Domingo nodded gently.

"By the way, how is Tommy doing in the team?" Lucy took the two bottles of wine from the low table in front of the sofa and handed one to David.

"How is he?" David took the bottle. He didn't quite understand why Lucy suddenly mentioned the cyber demon.

"That's it. How's the performance?" Lucy opened the bottle cap and looked at the bottle, which read "BROSEPH".

"Still as awesome as ever, in every aspect, and he taught me a lot." David took a sip from the bottle, and then said, "But recently he quit the team."

"Why?" Lucy looked at him.

"I don't know. He said he was busy with something." David paused, "Just like you."

Just like me. What do those hackers really care about in their minds?
"What about Rebecca, has she left the team too?"

"No, I have been doing commissions with us recently."

"That's it." Lucy stood up and put the undrunk beer back on the table, "I'm going to take a shower."

In the afternoon, Tommy and Rebecca were in the elevator of the building where they lived.

The sky was red, and the Arasaka Tower in the distance shone brightly under the setting sun. The golden light shone into the elevator and made people blind.

Tommy looked down at the glittering Night City and felt in a good mood.

[Ellie, what information do those hackers have in their heads? 】The last hacker has also been solved, and Ellie is now busy deciphering and integrating these scattered intelligence.

[It’s too fragmentary, and the information vaguely points to a certain company. 】

"Ding dong~" The elevator arrived.

【Arasaka?Or military technology? ] Tommy stepped out of the elevator.He dealt with these two companies the most.

[No, I think you need to go find Jefferson again to see what progress he has made. Maybe he can connect this series of clues together. 】

[Let’s do it tomorrow, it’s a bit late now. ] Tommy had arrived at the door of his house and was about to open the door when two different girls' voices came from inside.

The door slides open to the side.

"Huh?" Kamano Nana's little head poked out from the kitchen door, her black hair hanging down, and when she discovered that it was Tommy, her eyes turned into crescent moons.

She trotted for a while, then rushed over and hugged Tommy, "You're back, brother~"

Tommy touched her head and said, "Becca didn't stop you from the door today?"

"She forced her way in. I couldn't stop her." Rebecca's voice came from the kitchen.

oh?When did Nana become so capable?

Nana Kamano patted him in her arms to attract his attention, and then shook her head with a smile.

It seems that they didn't stop her. When did their relationship become so good?
"Hey! Your food is going to burn!" Rebecca urged, obviously Kamano Nana had just come out not long ago. "What's the rush?" Nana Kamano muttered dissatisfiedly, then turned to look at Tommy, "Brother, let's go and rest first."

She pulled Tommy towards the living room. When she passed the kitchen, Tommy glanced at Rebecca. It was bustling inside. Rebecca was busy at the sink. She mainly helped Kamano Nana.

"The food will be ready soon, just sit there and wait~" Nana Kamano's figure flashed into the kitchen.

Tommy put the weapons and equipment he carried into the metal box he brought back from the Long Sword, and then took off his "Thunder Hammer" armor.

[Caller: Jefferson Peralez]

Tommy's hand paused as he was about to take off his helmet.It came just in time and saved him from calling again.

[Hello, Tommy. 】

[Hello, Jefferson, do you have any clues about that? 】

[I have a clue. Not only that, I also need your help with some personal matters. 】

[Private matter? 】

[I told you on the phone that it was inconvenient. Please come over tomorrow. When we meet in person, I will tell you the story from beginning to end. 】

【no problem. 】

【Thank you. 】

The call ends here.

"Brother, it's time to eat. Take off the iron knots on your body." Kamano Nana and Rebecca took out the food and placed it on the dining table.

"Nana, is there any follow-up to that dream?" Tommy watched Kamano Nana fork a piece of cut fish onto his plate.

"Mom took me to see a doctor. The doctor said it was some minor problem with the prosthetic body. He gave me some medicine and let me go." Nana Kamano blinked at the piece of fish on Tommy's plate, and then He forked it and brought it to Tommy's mouth.

"Ah~" The popular female voice actress's little mouth opened slightly, as if she was coaxing a baby.

The smell of fish penetrated Tommy's nose. He looked at Rebecca, who was staring at the two of them with a bulging face, and then at Kamano Nana, who looked expectant. He was unsure whether to eat or not.

"My arms are sore~" The fish meat suddenly became sweet.

Tommy was heartbroken and unnaturally opened his mouth to eat the fish.

"Is it delicious~" Kamano Nana's eyes were shining.

"Yeah." This was the first time in his 40-plus years of life that he was being fed, and with Rebecca staring across from him, he felt even more embarrassed.

"Hehe." Appreciating Tommy's embarrassment, Kamano Nana showed a sly smile on her face.

Rebecca stared at Tommy for a while longer, then looked away at the dining table, then she also learned how to fork a large piece of barbecue, stood up and tilted her upper body to bring it to Tommy's mouth.

"Becca, it's too big, I can't eat it." Looking at the huge barbecue in front of him, Tommy struggled to open his mouth. Biomodification did not include expanding the oral volume.

"Eat it!" Rebecca glared at him, as if she was going to swallow the Spartan whole if Tommy refused.

Tommy sighed helplessly and had no choice but to take the piece of meat away.

"Then again, my doctor hasn't changed since I was 8 years old." Nana Kamano said.

"Eight years old? Did you say that you haven't been afraid of anything related to this since you were eight years old?" Rebecca sat back and asked her strangely.

Thinking about it carefully, Nana Kamano seems to have never shown any timidity, whether it was the time when she wanted to kill her fanatical fans or the two assassinations against her. This is somewhat different for a eldest lady in the company. Ordinary.

"Yes, this emotion seems to have disappeared since then." Nana Kamano tilted her head in confusion. She encountered this kind of situation that may cause fear. She only recently realized that she was missing something. kind of emotion.

"Do you remember exactly when it disappeared?" Tommy asked in a vague voice as he chewed the large piece of meat in his mouth.

"I don't remember clearly. The events of that year are all vague in my mind, but I was still young at that time, and it's been so long."

"That's right." Tommy still remembers the experience of crawling and groping in the jungle of Reach when he was 8 years old. One day that year, he was severely beaten by John relying on his good luck. This memory It seems like it happened yesterday.

"When I was eight years old, I was already picking up rags in Night City." Rebecca was also reminiscing about the past.

"Well, no matter what, eat quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold." Nana Kamano urged, what should I think about the past? She is the happiest now.

　Thanks to "rouna" for tipping Rebecca 100 starting coins~
