Meanwhile, student Mao An’an, who had just learned to roller skate, was knocked flying by someone from behind. She was rushing towards a pillar in terror with her eyes wide open, about to crash into it, “Yaaahhh!!!” … Huh? The air here was icy cold, completely different from the noisy and stuffy rink… Mao An’an slowly removed her hands from her face, looking left, right, up, took a deep breath, pinched her chubby thigh hard, glanced at the skates on her feet and the locker number tag on her wrist, then stood there bewildered. All around her was nothing but snow.
“@#¥%! (Who’s there!)” Startled by a sudden shout from behind, Mao An’an’s legs shook, and she screamed as she stumbled forward, crashing inelegantly into the ground. When Mao finally pulled her head out of the snow, she was surrounded by laser particle guns.
“!!!!!” Facing a group of fully armed, tall humanoid beings, Mao An’an waved her hands frantically to show she had no weapons, only the skates on her feet could be considered metal, but she wasn’t foolish enough to challenge their laser particle guns with roller skates. Thus, she was captured.
Planet Kino was ruled by the Austin Empire, where every task from surveillance to combat was executed with meticulous care. If Mao An’an hadn’t appeared in the legendary mysterious no-hunting zone, she would have probably been vaporized by particle guns by now. The no-hunting zone, a place of great renown, was established long ago by the founders of the Austin Empire. Now, it served as an important military and political base for Austin, accessible only to a select few nobles. Once an intruder was detected, they couldn’t be dealt with as casually as in other areas. To enter here, one not only needed noble lineage but also had to pass through the Aga radiation, which was extremely difficult for most life forms. So, generally, even if someone wanted to wander in, they wouldn’t risk their life so carelessly.
The mysterious creature Mao An’an wasn’t killed but was brought before Prince Lirben, who was just patrolling the area.
“@#¥% (It’s humanoid, seems like a higher intelligence being)…” Adjutant Ivan opened his eyes in surprise, examining Mao An’an with an exaggeratedly polite and restrained demeanor, “#¥%@ (My lord, could this be a lost noble of the Austin family?)”
