“Where are you going?” Right before the group made it to the hospital’s main exit, Patty stopped and asked with a puzzled face.

Dawn explained: “Where else? Of course we’re going to the bus stop to catch the bus. We live in the suburbs so it’s quite far from here. Didn’t you know this ahead of time?”

“Of course I didn’t know. The message only told me it’s in the city.” Patty raised an eyebrow and pointed to the left intersection, “If we’re going to the city’s outskirt then wait there for me… I’ll go get my car.”

“You have a car?!” Dawn exclaims.

“What’s so weird about that? How much do you think a car costs? It’s nothing much.” Patty waves her hand indifferently and hurriedly jogs over to the parking lot. Her air of a wealthy mistress was in full swing right now.

“Cars…” Shadow’s face showed a hint of longing before speaking, “Landlord, do I have enough for a car on top of the rent?”

“If it’s second-hand, then yes, with plenty of extra funds left over. If brand new though, then just barely and not the good models either.” Dawn blurted that out but quickly changed his tune after some thought, “You aren’t thinking of buying a car now, do you? The problem with your household registration isn’t even solved yet, and now you want to go shopping? Also, you won’t be able to get a license plate even if you do manage to buy a car. You won’t be able to drive it.”

“Awww… what shame.” The overflowing level of regret flooded the cat lady’s voice. As the guy said, Shadow had a lot of problems with her identification that needed resolving. Take the phone account thus far. Even that was registered under Dawn’s name to get it done. Anything more would be a lot of work for the time being.

It’s then Boink the hamsterling decides to chime in with his high and mighty voice: “What’s so good about a car anyways when you can experience so much more with an advanced AR set. Playing Need for Speed using a simulation machine will blow it out of the water if you ask me. You don’t need to watch the speed limit or pedestrians. It’s a straight path to anywhere you like. And if you spill blood in the game, no one will say a word about you.”

Dawn and Shadow immediately shut up after exchanging a look with each other. In their view, discussing this subject in front of a shut-in otaku was like talking to a rock. A waste of energy. On top that, how would a hamster sit in a racing simulator anyways? It’s not like he could morph into a human yet, right?

Thinking of this, Dawn looked at Boink’s figure with a little more sympathy.

“What are you doing looking at me like that?” The hamster puffed up and asked alertly.

“Uhhh…” Dawn didn’t want to hurt the poor guy and sighed quietly.

“???” Boink scratches his head, unable to understand why.

…

After a while, a car that appeared very high-end stopped in front of Dawn and company.

“Get in the car,” Patty says after rolling down the car’s window, followed by the automated opening of the rear doors.

“Thanks.” Dawn and Shadow happily snuggled into the back where the guy immediately got a sense of loss due to how lavish the furnishings were.

How to say this, hmm, imagine riding a piece of junk all your life and then suddenly getting thrust into a million-dollar race car. It’s only normal for someone not to know how to react.

“Wow! What is this car? It’s so pretty.” Shadow’s eyes were beaming with intrigue as she touched this and touched that.

“Lamborghini, and a limited edition at that. How rich are you?!” Boink was quite knowledgeable in this regard and couldn’t help but ask after careful observation.

Even for the cheapest Lamborghini, they could easily go for millions from retail, so imagine what a limited-edition version would sell for. In fact, for those car enthusiasts out there, paying a premium above retail was not unheard of. Dawn could not even begin to fathom the number towards this astronomical number.
