Upon hearing that, Debbie was amused.

"I'll take you up on that offer then," she replied. Since Niles had been quite insistent, Debbie stepped foot into the car and proceeded to sit in the passenger seat.

After asking Debbie where she was gonna be heading, he drove over to the place she mentioned.

For a little while, none of them said anything to each other as they were on their way. Some relaxing music was being played on the speakers, and one of the songs caught Debbie by surprise.

"By any chance, do you like this song?" she asked Niles the second the song started.

Glancing over at the video player, Niles answered, “Yes. I've actually been Listening to it for a couple of days now. Unfortunately, the artist's name isn't indicated anywhere in that video. It's just so heart-breaking. Whenever I listen to it, I feel like crying, as though

I'd just broken up with my girlfriend. But truth be told, I've never fallen in love before."

That last part cracked Debbie up.

"Maybe you should give Irene's songs a listen then. They are uplifting and energetic, much Like the style you prefer. I think you might Like them."

“I've heard of Irene. She is a well-known singer in Zugrurg, isn't she?"

Debbie quickly nodded in agreement, “Yes, indeed she is. And on top of that, she is a really nice person as well." As she told him things about one of her closest friends, she had a smile on her face.

“Do you know her personally?" Niles asked, looking at her with curiosity written all over his face.

“Yeah, I sure do. She's a friend of mine," Debbie told him straight away. For some reason, she felt at ease being around Niles, so she learned to trust him.

“Really? The two of you are friends? Then what is your Line of work?"

Niles wasn't expecting that at all.

Pointing at the title of the track that was currently playing, Debbie replied, "The song you've been Listening to, Loner of the City, I'm the singer."

“Wow!" Niles blurted out.

"So you are a superstar. I never would've thought of that. You just seem so modest. Your name is...

Debbie...Debbie Nelson, am I right?" At that point, Niles suddenly recalled that there was a singer who went by that name.

“I'm pleased that you've heard of me." A smile crept onto Debbie's face. She enjoyed having this conversation with Niles.

The man sitting quietly in the back seat didn't utter a single word throughout the ride as he leaned back into the seat with his eyes shut.

However, his face turned pitch black as the two in the front seats continued chatting.

"She is definitely one promiscuous woman. Just a minute ago, she was claiming that she loved me, and here she is now, getting all over another man. *

The conversation had been going on so well that Niles thought of asking

Debbie out to grab a drink or two.
