Hyperdimension Neptunia - A Time Soldier's Final Mission

Chapter 9 - Molly and Purple.

Molly had walked back to Purple's location as she hoisted the Gun back into her inventory. She couldn't be seen with her weapon... At least, not for the time being. By inventory, she meant she put it in a hidden pocket in her coat. She wore a leather jacket for a- REASON.

As she entered into her home, she came with the view of a very sick looking Purple lying on her couch.

Purple turned her head left to right. "Guh..."

She then spotted Molly. "Mornin...Molly..."

Molly rose her eyebrows in surprise.

"Did you just go head to head with a Fenrir or somethin'? You look awful."

Purple sighed. "Sorry...head hurts...a lot...And I...puked in your toilet...sorry..."

Molly offers a smile.

"Don't worry your pretty little head about it Purp. It was inevitable."

Molly walks to the side of Purple and kneels down next to her.

"Need some water?" Molly asked her.

Purple nodded. "Please~"

Molly nods and gets up - Heading for the sink, to get the water. And maybe some mints would help as well...but those could wait a bit.

Molly thought to herself, 'Note to self - Never get her near alcohol again.'

After a few minutes, Molly returns with the water.

"Here, you may need to sit up."

The demi-Goddess used all her strength to sit up properly.

"Thanks for...the water..." Purple managed to get out. She was weak, Molly could tell.

Molly nodded and tood a seat across from her Lilac coloured friend. "It is no problem. You were out of your HEAD last night."

As Purple took the glass of water, she raised an eyebrow as her head hurt more.

"What happened...last night?" Purple whispered.

Molly tilted her head to the left. "You want the simple explaination? You danced after drinking ALCHOHOLIC lemonade"

Purple took another sip. "...Did I make a fool of myself?"

Molly offers a slight reassuring expression. "... A little. But, you were HOT on that dance floor - I haven't seen such skill in a LONG time"

Purple smiled absentmindedly. "Thanks"

She kept drinking the water, the pain slowly fading away.

"Note to self: Check the contents of every drink presented to me..." A few seconds later she blinked. "Wait...you think it was hot the way I danced?"

Molly slightly blushes for once in her whole time of being with Purple.

"Well I... Kinda, yeah"

Purple blushed a bit as well at the same time her eyes were darting around the room.

"I see...eh, thanks for, eh, thinking nice of me?" Purple whispered.

Molly nodded. "It's not an issue... You were quite the hotty in that club last night, if I had been some criminal I'd have taken advantage. But I didn't. I brought you home the instant I noticed you were off your head."

Purple smiled. "Thanks for that, you really are a nice person"

She saw Molly's smile and then smiled warmly back at her.

Molly blushed bright red.

"I... I try. Now, don't you think you should rest more? I have a meeting with Lady Histoire soon, so, I'll come back to you shortly, ok?"

Purple frowned. "No can do, I'm not really a fan of staying in bed too long, and..."

She took out her wallet, which was literally a small bag with dogoo design.

"...I need to do some quests"

Molly rose an eyebrow. "I can give you money if that's what you're after."

A fly came flying out of the empty bag as Molly finished her offer.

"..Was that thing always there?" Purple muttered.

Molly chuckles, her blush gone. "Here." She then pulled out 300 credits and puts it in the wallet - thus - filling it to full. "I know it ain't much, but its a step forwards. Where do you stay currently, as a matter of interest?"

Purple blushed madly. "I-I can't accept this money! I've done nothing to earn it!"

Molly smiled sweetly at her friend. "Argue with me, in my house, and I'll trap you here for all eternity."

There was something haunting behind her smile.

Purple felt her mouth open and close of its own accord. "..."

"Thanks for this gift"

Molly stood up and brushed herself down. "No problem."

Purple looked at Molly. "I'm currently staying in a small abandoned apartment in the edge of the city, rent is free, due to it being abandoned, and electricity somehow makes it there so I decided to live there"

Molly goes quiet for a few moments, thinking.

"...That's it"

Purple blinked. "What's it?"

Molly looked to the window. "You can stay here. I can't risk you living on your own. You want me to be happy, right? Then I want you happy also, it WAS a deal, remember?" She headed to another side of the room and brushed several pieces of dust away. She giggles softly.

Purple nodded as she put the glass down on the side next to the couch she was sat on. "...Okay, but, I will need to go for my stuff, and I will need some time. I can finish by tomorrow night"

Molly looked over to her. "Just make sure you don't get hurt- I don't want you to be harmed while you're getting ready to live here."

Purple scoffed. "Please, don't worry so much. It may not look like it but I tend to do A-Rank quests on my own! I doubt I could get hurt that easily"

Molly blinked as she headed back over to the side of the room where Purple was as Purple stood up and stretched. "/A-Rank/? The standards have lapsed a bit since I did them, then. They used to be S+ when I did them."

Purple smiled. "Oh, please, I'm not ready on level to do even an S-Rank, I'm not that tough. Like the CPUs or the legendary Makers who are constantly helping them out"

Molly chuckled. "This is true. Although..." She mumbled, "Some CPU's are more pathetic then others..." She smiled at Purple. "Not you though."

Purple nodded. Thanks, oh, and where did you go earlier?"

Molly stops for a moment before responding.

"Just out for a, walk, and to meet with someone. Nothing special."

Purple blinked. "A friend?"

Molly shook her head. "Not really. Someone who needed a, lesson, be taught. so I instructed her and spent a bit of energy doing so.

She stops for a moment again.

"...No I didn't, kill, anyone" She put emphysis on the "kill" phrase.

Purple nodded. "I wasn't going to think that"

Molly hummed. "Just being sure"

Purple hummed also. "But, wow, they must have done something bad for you to get angry at them"

"... You don't know the half of it-" Molly trailed off. "Anyway, you need to get your stuff. Are you feeling any better?"

Purple smiled widely. "Yep!"

She stood up with a jump and fell with her hands on the floor before doing a backflip and, BARELY, landing on her feet.

"Good as always!"

Molly watched her for a few moments. "Stop."

"I want to make sure you can OPERATE without stumbling. And talk properly, so, repeat after me. As fast as you can - MynameisPurpleandIamahyperactivekid"

Purple smirked. "MynameisPurplaandlaamahypertivekd"

"...Was I close?" She blinked.

Molly giggles.

"Almost"

Purple nodded. "Okay, no more showing off what I can just barely do, I understand"

She did understand...in part.

Molly hummed. "Glad to know you understood me"

Purple smiled. "And glad to know I'll live somewhere with actual AC~"

Then, she frowned. "Mine got destroyed during the Rei Ryghts thing and I couldn't fix it...and I don't know how to install a new one so whenever I felt hot I simply bought some ice-cream."

Molly sat down and nodded. "Well, now you can have, ice cold Air Conditioning or if that fails, my magic'll keep you sustained."

Purple stood up. "Cool, I couldn't use ice magic either because...I can't really control it. See, last time I tried to use it... I kinda froze myself...in the most literal term"

"It was too cold" Purple shivered to show her point.

Molly nodded. "I can help teach you sometime. It isn't hard, you just have to know what you're doing."

Molly stood up and walks closer to Purple, so they are literally feeling each other's breath.

"Next time you want to go out, we go somewhere, without, alcohol. Okay? I'll even make sure of it."

Molly pecks Purple on the cheek and turns, heading for the door.

Purple smiled as she watched the girl before sighing.

Purple nodded. "Welp, time to go for my stuff - Have fun with Lady Histoire!"

Molly looks at Purple as she leaves the house.

"Make sure you don't do anything RISK-KY, Or I'll drag you back, kicking and screaming if I have to." She winks and exists the house.

Purple nodded. "Yes, ma'am"

With some sweat falling from her forehead, she opted for her best option, it would tire her out a bit but it would let her end quickly.

"Time for a short-cut."

In an instant, she had teleported herself out of Molly's house.
