Alright, alright—these should be enough. Can you tell us your classified information already? By the way, isn't this...
Right, I seem to recall... They're "red envelopes," aren't they?
That's correct! You're looking at it—Nanami's secret weapon!
...Red envelopes?
It doesn't really make sense, but we've collected quite a number of them...
Sure you did! Now, the next step of the plan!
And here comes the classified information!
What you didn't know is that—their name is "Xi"! I named them myself!
Yep, I named them after their habits!
Nanami was the first one to discover them, so she had the right to name them! Are you jealous?
Xi aren't our enemies! They're small "auto-mechanoid" that live underground. And they're very timid! They'll run on the faintest sound of battle. Y'know, like... "POW!" or "BOOM!", something like that.
But they're also really fond of relaxing celebrations... Anyway, they aren't going to hurt anyone...
They aren't aggressive—all they do is pretty graffiti. That's why I picked them a name from the database the moment I found them!
"Xi" in the past was also a small monster, just like them... It hated loud noises, it was a little greedy, and it was an absolute night owl.
And Nanami found them near Lunar New Year! That's why I chose that name!
As to why we're hunting them down—that's classified information until you've completed the next stage of our plan!
...Don't stop in the middle of the story!
I'm also very curious... Nanami, we just have to collect more of the red envelopes, right?
That's right! We'll trade!
You're out of information, aren't you? You're just tricking us into helping you!
Karey deary, haven't you learned? We're friends! Be nice to your friend!
What did you think I do? I thought you were in danger, and here I am! Don't push it!
Oh... Then I'll apologize after our big hunt? I'll do it properly!
I-I don't need your apologies! Just don't stir up any more troubles, alright? Now, get out of my way! I need to go collecting!
