As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

Hearing what the leader said, Abigail understood what they wanted to do: robbery.

But how should I put it? Their luck was pretty bad, they just had to snatch Abigail from him.

Abigail's lips curled up, and her entire demeanor instantly became harmless.

"Big brothers? This is my first time here, and I'm lost. Could you help me find my way out?"

Looking at Abigail, who seemed innocent and naive, the leader of the group seemed a little off.

"Boss, this girl's pretty!"

"Yeah, boss, what do you think, should we...?"

Although he sensed something was wrong, the leader didn't take it too seriously. After all, this little girl couldn't possibly be a match for the three of them, big and strong men.

However, this leader was clearly not a fool. Even if Abigail was truly harmless, a young lady dressed like that must have a powerful family backing her. At least, they were not comparable to these small-time thugs.

Never provoke a powerful force. — This is the secret to how this boss has been able to survive in such a chaotic place with his two underlings.

Snapped!Snapped!

The leader patted his two underlings on the head once each, then said to them in a somewhat reprimanding tone:

"Have you two forgotten what I told you before? Just rob people, those big powers won't care about such a small amount of money, but hurting people is absolutely unacceptable! You want to die, but I don't!"

"Yes, we understand, boss!"

Then, the burly man turned to Abigail and said to her.

"Little sister, stop talking nonsense and quickly hand over anything of value you have. Also, hurry back. This is not a place for a delicate young lady like you to stay!"

Seeing that this burly man seemed to have principles, Abigail found it rather boring.

"Sigh... I was hoping to have some fun. Fine, now it's my turn to rob you. Be smart and hand over all your money, and tell me how to get out of this area."

Seeing Bigel's sudden change in demeanor, the three burly men couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.

"Boss, what's up with this girl?"

As for the leader, upon hearing Abigail's words, he glared fiercely at her.

"Don't you understand the situation? Where do you think you are? This is the most chaotic neighborhood in Saike. Do you think this is your home? Hand over all your valuables, or we won't be so polite."

"Yes, if you know what's good for you, hand it over right now!" The two thugs next to the boss then threatened Abigail.

Why do you always fail to cherish the opportunities we give you?

As Abigail spoke, she shook her head with a hint of regret.

However, just as Abigail was about to take action to deal with the three small guilds, a girl suddenly fell from the sky.

boom......

The girl seemed to be piloting a rudimentary mechanical device, somewhat resembling a mecha, but it looked far too basic.

"You bastards, robbing people again! Let me tell you, as long as I, Jessica, am here, you won't succeed!"

The girl shouted at the three people in front of her. Although she didn't look strong, the simple mecha she wore was quite intimidating.

"It's you again. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have a mech that you dug out of the junkyard. Don't think I don't know that yours is just the worst kind of mech, only good for construction sites."

"Oh, so you want to test the power of my fist?"

As the girl named Jessica spoke, she shook the fist on her mecha.

Looking at the iron fist on this mech, no matter what, even the worst mech is still stronger than a mortal body.

"You'd better remember this!"

After uttering those harsh words, the leader turned and left with his two henchmen.

Jessica breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the three leave.

"That was close! Luckily, these guys were tricked and came out in a bit of a hurry. My mech doesn't have much energy left. If we had really fought them, the outcome would have been uncertain!"

Jessica then jumped down from the three-meter-tall mech and walked up to Abigail.

Are you alright?

Abigail looked at the girl in front of her with some curiosity. The girl wasn't particularly beautiful, but she wasn't ugly either. She had short, reddish-brown hair and wore a pilot's uniform. Overall, she looked very energetic.

“It’s alright, thank you. My name is Abigail, Abigail Williams.”

“Hello, Abigail, my name is Jessica, and I live in this area.”

Just then, a boy's voice suddenly came from the alleyway next to them.

"Jessica!"

"Hey, Budi."

Jessica waved her hand as she watched the boy walk towards her.

"What the hell! Do you know how dangerous that was? What if those three had discovered that your mech didn't have enough energy?"

"Isn't everything alright?"

Jessica scratched her head and chuckled foolishly, trying to get away with it this way.

Seeing Jessica like this, the boy named Buddy sighed helplessly.

"I can't do anything with you. Here, take this. Hurry up and put on the mecha."

Jessica happily accepted the rather large battery that Buddy handed her.

"Thank you, Buddy."

After saying that, Jessica went to the back of the mech, opened the cover on its back, took out one of the same batteries, and then installed the new battery.

"Oh, my baby, you're full of energy again."

Over here, Jessica was fiddling with the mecha, while Buddy came to Abigail's side.

"Hello, my name is Buddy, it's nice to meet you, Miss Abigail."

Clearly, Buddy heard Abigail introducing herself.

"Nice to meet you, Buddy. By the way, are you two a couple?"

Abigail's words were quite a confession, so direct that Buddy was stunned when he heard them.

"Miss Abigail, what are you saying? Jessica and I are just ordinary friends. Don't talk nonsense!"

Buddy seemed flustered when he answered, and this reaction immediately made Abigail understand their current situation.

"Young man, what you're doing is just burying your head in the sand. I'm asking you, do you want what I just said to become a reality?"

"??? Miss Abigail, what... what do you mean by this?"

"Just like the literal meaning, how about it, do you want me to help you?"

"This...this..."

Buddy seemed hesitant; such a thing was quite tempting to him.

What are you talking about?

Jessica, who had already finished dealing with the mech, walked over.

"N-nothing, Jessica."

Buddy responded somewhat flusteredly.

"Yes, Jessica, how's the mech? You jumped from that height, are you alright?"

"No problem. Although it's an industrial-grade mecha, it's still a mecha, even if it's a bit damaged and has been repaired..."

"Let's not talk about that anymore, Miss Abigail. Let me take you away from here now. Buddy, the mecha is yours now."

"Well, I see."

Buddy nodded, then sat in the mecha and drove away.

“Come on, Miss Abigail, I say, how did you end up here? This place is very chaotic; even if you're just curious, you can't just come here like this!”

As they walked, Jessica asked Abigail with some curiosity.

When faced with Jessica's question, Abigail couldn't very well say that she came from another world.

However, Abigail was unfamiliar with the situation in this world and didn't know how to answer. So she decided to simply remain silent.

"..."

Jessica didn't seem to care much about Abigail's silence.

"Miss Abigail, you must be from a wealthy family. I've heard that the Empire has recently released a very powerful new mech. I wonder if you've seen it?"

Abigail didn't know how to answer Jessica's question, so she shook her head.

"Oh, so you didn't know either! But that's normal. A young lady like you probably wouldn't be interested in things from the battlefield."

Abigail could only respond with a smile to Jessica's exclamation, but to be honest, she was quite interested in this mecha. Although she didn't know what the Empire's latest mecha looked like, it certainly couldn't be the same as the rudimentary one she'd just seen.

Jessica was just like her appearance; she was relatively outgoing. Along the way, Jessica told Abigail a lot about the world, or rather, the country.

Moreover, perhaps because he thought Abigail was the kind of naive young lady who didn't understand the ways of the world, he didn't question Abigail about various things.

From Jessica, Abigail learned that there are two main countries in this world: their current empire and a newly established kingdom.

Of course, a few years ago, there were many countries of all sizes in this world, but now only this one empire remains. All of this is because of the newly emerged king—Ivan the Great.

However, Abigail also learned something interesting from Jessica: this Emperor Ivan the Great did not seem to be the original heir to the empire, nor was he even a member of the royal family. Instead, he appeared suddenly and somehow became the husband of the empire's first princess.

Subsequently, through various means employed by Emperor Ivan the Great, he seized the imperial throne and led the empire to unify the world.

However, not long ago, about half a year ago, a new kingdom was established, and the name of this kingdom is Mead.

Jessica didn't know the specifics of the kingdom, so this was all Abigail knew for now.

In addition, Abigail learned about the technological situation of this world. To put it simply, the technology of this world is magical machinery. In particular, the mecha technology seems to be very advanced.

Jessica aspires to become a top-tier mech pilot, though she can currently only operate the lowest-level industrial mechs. However, according to her, she can take an exam every three months at the relevant department of the Empire, and those who pass will receive a mech pilot's certificate.

Once she gets her mecha pilot certificate, she can find a job operating mechas and then save up enough money to buy a real mecha.

Furthermore, operating mechs in this world doesn't seem as simple as it appears. Therefore, mech pilots are a highly sought-after profession.

Of course, what Jessica really values ​​is not the earning potential of mech pilots, but rather her desire to be able to operate the most advanced mechs. When she was young, she witnessed a mech battle that left a very deep impression on her.
