When Rita caught a player killing a Mechanoid—and saw that the Mechanoid's Player Relic vanished along with it—she knew she had no choice but to follow the rules.
She asked calmly, "What's your condition?"
Y128 suddenly pointed toward L175246, who was hiding behind a tree with its tiny violin on its back, nervously peeking at her.
"Kill L175246," Y128 said, "and I'll return your Player Relic."
Rita repeated softly, "As long as I kill L175246, you'll give BS-Rita her Player Relic back?"
"Yes," Y128 said coldly. "I don't play word games."
Rita nodded.
Her hand, which had been resting lazily on her knee, lifted slightly. Two fingers extended, aimed straight at Y128. And in the brief shock that crossed Y128's eyes, Rita triggered two skills in rapid succession.
The first was a skill she had stored in her Send Me the Link cart—Outside the Program. She had only been able to save it after confirming 7777 had successfully altered the Happy New Year item's ownership.
