If we ever make it out of Southern Plains, I promise I will bring you to the best hospitals, to see the best doctors, and to eat the best medicines!

“I’m sorry but I don’t drink. Also, I’m a guy!”
I made sure to emphasize that last part, though judging from his expression, he probably did not believe me.
During the time we were arguing over my gender, his partner, armed in an exosuit as well, arrived and called out, “4511, I’m here.”
“In that case, let’s start escorting these beautiful ladies out of this warzone.”
Just like 4511, 3007 was immediately taken aback by the pile of corpses in the restaurant. “4511, was there some kind of battle just now?”
“Not at all. These zombies had already been taken care of by this beautiful lady over here by the time I arrived.” 4511 pointed in my direction. “Not only is she beautiful, but she’s strong as well… perfection at its finest…”
“Ke… No way… it’s Goddess Ke!!!” As if it was even possible, 3007 was more surprised by my presence than even 4511. “What is the Goddess doing in Southern Plains? It’s dangerous…”
Wait… she’s a fan of mine?
“You know me?” I stared blankly at the imposing exosuit. Because of the armoring, I couldn’t see her face… but now I could.
3007 quickly turned on the holographic projection on her helmet, allowing me to get a glimpse inside. She was a beautiful girl, young and probably below the age of twenty.
Honestly, she could be the belle of the police department with looks like that.
“If it wasn’t for that urgent mission last week preventing me from taking leave, I would have already been in Phoenix City, taking part in the War for the Goddess!” 3007 excitedly prattled on about herself. “I even prepared a million fan points for that. If it wasn’t for the team leader dragging me off to catch some smuggler… blasted team leader… and curse that smuggler too… Of all the times he could get caught, he had to choose then…”
So she’s not just a fangirl, she’s a rich fangirl as well.
Seeing her so bothered, I gingerly asked, “So… did you catch him then? The smuggler.”
“I did. I made sure to knock his teeth out as well!” She continued on to explain the exhilarating details of her chase, finally ending as such, “Even so, I can’t believe that guy had the nerve to cause me to miss the War for the Goddess. Of course I had to teach him a lesson!”
Really? That violently, though. Maybe I shouldn’t point that out to a violent cop girl… I bet her family has issues!
“And because of your brashness, you almost injured some innocent civilians. Your unrepentant attitude afterwards even got you an offense…” Judging by how 4511 was more than happy to tease 3007, the two were probably quite close. “Also, you’re not supposed to reveal your face during a mission. That’s against the rules.”
“Tsk. Mind your own business!”
“I am. I’m just reminding you not to commit another offense.”
Watching the two police officers bicker with each other without a care, or at the very least they had forgotten about our current situation, I was both a little annoyed and amused at the same time. “I say, shouldn’t we be leaving this area first? You two are all nice and comfy in your exosuits, but we don’t have an air filtration system on us… and it stinks here!”
I was extra careful to emphasize that last point, at which point both of them finally realised as well.
3007 anxiously apologized. “My bad, Goddess Ke, I’ll get right to it.”
Having said that, she slowly extended a mechanical arm to me.
