Aside from the old Grammer Knights and the Star Core Hunters, Firefly had never received so much care before.

Liu Ying didn't like to cry, but a pang of sadness still welled up in her eyes. But quickly, the girl suppressed her emotions, leaving only a sense of melancholy in her heart:

Spall, at first glance, seems like a warrior... but I never expected him to be so kind-hearted and capable of understanding things we don't know.

Thinking of this, Firefly glanced at Spa again, only to see that the other man's brows were slightly furrowed and his gaze was directed towards the depths of the cave.

"What happened?" Firefly asked.

"That Sambo guy slipped away into the depths of the cave while we were consuming the memory essence. Luckily, I still have a signal, though it's a bit far away."

Having said all that, Spah was not willing to linger. He waved his hand, took a step, and sped straight into the depths.

The cavern was winding and twisting, like a long, contorted serpent. Spah made several turns and then stopped.

He shifted his gaze, fixing it on the ground. There, a series of footprints appeared again; judging by the shoe size, they clearly belonged to a minor.

Someone has come here.

Spa rolled his eyes, observing the footsteps.

But suddenly...

pat!

The sound of falling rocks rang out, and Spa looked up toward the source of the sound, only to see a figure flash by.

Chapter 44 The Shameful Things Fireflies Did

Spall gazed at the figure from afar, but did not immediately give chase.

The man had dark blue hair, a beard, a slightly bent waist, and staggered as he rushed toward the cave.

Strangely, the other person's foot stomped on the ground with great force, yet it made no sound at all.

Something is wrong!

Even when a child walks, it's not like this.

Moreover... the footprints on the ground belonged to a minor, but this guy, no matter how you look at it, is an adult male.

Spare pondered, observing the other person again, and noticed from a distance that the man's shoe size was a full circle larger than the footprints on the ground.

What's even more chilling is that there wasn't a single footprint left in the snow where the man had walked.

Is this guy... a ghost?

No! It should be an unformed meme!

Spall shook his head. He wasn't a coward, but considering the strange environment, he slowed down and followed.

Even so, Spare, relying on his leg strength, soon got close to the man from behind.

He reached out and grabbed the other man's shoulder, but before he could finish, he saw the man's body tremble slightly, turn transparent, and disappear without a trace.

It seems this meme won't stay stable for long.

Spah shook his head, half-closing his eyes, feeling the surrounding memory essence growing denser and denser, like a tide pressing down on him layer by layer.

However, for him, this level of impact was no different from a massage.

Spa simply stretched, casually pulled out a potato chip, popped it into his mouth, rested for two seconds, and continued walking towards Sambo's location.

However, after walking only a dozen meters, he suddenly saw the red flames transform into waves, surging towards him.

[Fire (7) Erlin 4 Launch Umbrella IV Firefly Type 4! Activate! Initiate the total annihilation plan.]

Sam spread his green wings, rode the heatwave, and charged toward Spa like a raging bull.

Although he didn't know why the fireflies were attacking him, Spah instinctively dodged to the side.

Bang!

He felt a slight pain in his shoulder, and when he shifted his gaze slightly, he saw that his body had crashed into the rock wall, causing a loud splash as layers of snow fell off.

Spah realized that the passage was narrow and there was nowhere to hide, so he had no choice but to use the power of destiny to set up an energy shield.

Sam had already rushed up to them and swung his iron arm.

Snapped!

The iron arm crashed into the energy shield, but before it could even create a ripple, it turned into bubbles and vanished without a trace.

Sam's body gradually disintegrated, turning into blue butterflies that fell to the ground.

Spah caught a butterfly and sensed that within those mere centimeters of wings lay a memory substance large enough to materialize.

Unfortunately, the moment that memory fell into the palm of his hand, it turned into tiny specks of light, like boiling water, and scattered in all directions.

Spa raised his head and gazed at the points of light filling the cave, like fireflies drifting in the wind.

The memory essence here... is so intense!

Even our memories become the fuel for the birth of memes. If we continue to delve deeper, will even stronger memes emerge?

Spall pondered this, but did not stop. Instead, he continued deeper into the snow, munching on potato chips as he went.

After finishing half a bag of potato chips, he saw the Sam mech again.

The silver mech stood alone in the snow, its back straight, like a long spear.

But her gaze was fixed on the distance, as if she were waiting for something.

Before long, Sam turned his head, and Spah followed suit, watching as a small gray dot rushed out from the depths of the cave.

Spall saw a short gray-haired girl with a blank expression approaching Sam.

Huh? That's... a star?

She actually knows the Star Core Hunter?

Spa had intended to bypass Sam and head straight for the depths of the cave, but upon seeing the star, he couldn't suppress his curiosity and stopped.

Crunch!

As soon as the firefly removed its mecha and stepped onto the ground, before it could even stand firmly, it rushed towards Xing like a rabbit.

"Welcome back, Ah Xing."

Liu Ying blinked, a smile playing on her lips, revealing rosy dimples.

Her shy demeanor, a stark contrast to her usual aloofness, left Spa speechless, her lips agape.

This...%月/漪-咎另鹨s^i榴旗爸倭岲橘势 is a bit interesting.

Spah was very curious, and when he encountered gossip, he didn't want to leave anymore. He immediately produced some sunflower seeds and started munching on them.

Since Sambo has already been marked, he can't escape.

Spah rolled his eyes and saw the star and the firefly close together, separated by only ten centimeters.

The two walked hand in hand in the snow.

Although he couldn't make a sound because he was a memory-type being, Spa still imagined the soft, rustling sound of footsteps on snow.

After walking a few steps, Firefly stopped and sat cross-legged. Star also sat down, shoulder to shoulder, leaning against Firefly.

The two looked up, and Spa followed the girls' gaze to the sky. He saw that the snow wall, which had been empty, was now twinkling with stars, like floating blue fireflies.

"What a nice view……"

"It's firefly," Liu Ying whispered, moving closer to Xing.

Xing nodded, and a silence fell between them. Neither of them spoke, but they simply watched Xing flicker.

After a long while, the firefly lowered its head, its eyes sparkling like stars in the sky, staring intently at Xing's face, and said:

"Um...didn't you say last time that you wanted to play with Silver Wolf?"

"Huh? Did I say that?"

Xing scratched his head, an innocent look on his face: "It doesn't matter, I just prefer romantic things anyway."

"romantic?"

Liu Ying tilted her head and pouted her lips.

"Romance is simple. Watching the stars with a beautiful girl is romantic, playing with mechs is romantic. Being with you, Liu Ying, is double... no! Dozens of times more romantic!"

Xing glanced away, gazing intently at Liu Ying.

"Woo..."

Liu Ying's cheeks flushed. She stretched out her right index finger to brush her hair aside, while her left hand slid to the hem of her skirt, wrinkling the edge before slowly smoothing it out.

The two fell into silence.

Suddenly, Firefly stood up, raised her arm high, clenched her fist tightly, and shouted, "Star Knight! Transform!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl put her Sam armor back on.

"Galaxy Batman! Charge! Even though I don't have a bat..."

Xing also stood up, hands on her hips.

The girls exchanged smiles, their cheeks flushing. Liu Ying took two steps, walked to the center of the passage, and struck a wing-like pose.

She shouted, "To prevent the world from being destroyed!"

"To protect world peace!" Hoshino stepped forward, pressed his finger to the bridge of his nose, and shouted in response.

Embrace love and your authentic self!

"A cute and charming popular idol group!"

"Liuying!"

"star!"

"We are the Star Core Hunter duo who traverse the galaxy!"

"White hole! A white tomorrow awaits us!"

Firefly raises its right hand, Star raises its left hand, and the tips of their palms touch to form a heart shape.

"puff!"

Spa looked at the girl from afar and, seeing their spirited demeanor, couldn't contain himself. He opened his lips and spat out the sunflower seeds he had just eaten.

He straightened his clothes, brushed off the sunflower seed shells, stood up, and tried to leave the place, but felt the temperature around him rise.

"You...you, you saw it all, didn't you?"

Spah turned around and saw that Firefly's cheeks were flushed and her fists were clenched so tightly they were making a squeaking sound.

The girl gritted her teeth, and before Spa could explain, she put on her Sam armor and punched him in the face.

when!

Spah summoned a shield to block the impact, and observed the fireflies through the edge of the energy shield.

All that could be seen was the flames on the mech growing ever stronger, and the girl pounced on it like a hungry wolf, swinging her fists wildly at Spa.

Oh my god... I'm so angry and embarrassed!

Although Spah didn't like running away, he knew that explaining himself to an angry girl was useless, so he had no choice but to avoid confrontation for the time being.

He turned around and ran into the depths of the cave, navigating many bends, his body transforming into a whirlwind, yet he could not shake off the fireflies no matter what.

Spare had no choice but to keep running, waiting for the girl to calm down.

Suddenly, he saw the blue-haired man's ghostly figure again. The man had his back to him, limping as he continued deeper into the cave.

"Sam! Wait! There's a ghost ahead!"

Spah shouted, summoning an energy shield to stop the fireflies.

I'm not afraid of ghosts!

Sam raised his hand and swung it at the shield.

"tsk"

Spall clicked his tongue, removed his shield, and dodged to the right. Sam, propelled by inertia, fell headfirst to the ground.

Before the opponent could adjust, Spa took the opportunity to grab the mech's arms with both hands and pulled gently.

At the same time, he stretched out his left foot, trying to trip it.
