I'm on the Ark, and I start out as Gretchen.

A moment after Gretsch asked the question, Rita's cheerful voice rang out quickly, and she answered gently.

"Let me handle this, Rita. You and Bianca have been quite busy lately. Compared to you two, Xiaoshi and I have it much easier."

Not long after Rita answered, Hua, who had been relatively quiet, suddenly spoke up in a calm tone.

'? '

"Hey! You old fogey, who are you calling 'Little Scholar'?"

With Hua's address, Xiao Shi, who had been "traveling and sightseeing" with her but hadn't really shown his face, also came out.

'Hello, Sister Xiaoshi...'

'?'

'Don't call me that! Call me the great Herrscher of Knowledge!'

'Okay, Sister Xiaoshi.'

'Gresh, you!'

……

"Alright, stop fooling around, Xiao Shi. I'll be there in a bit. You're free to do whatever you want this afternoon, but be careful not to cause trouble."

Looking at the childlike Xiao Shi in front of him, Hua's expression showed a hint of helplessness, and then he gave him some instructions.

"Hmph, I wasn't making a fuss!" Xiao Shi raised an eyebrow after hearing Hua's words, and retorted somewhat unconvinced.

"But, old timer, if you're going to leave, you should leave now! Traveling with you every day is so boring. How can anyone stay in one place for so long!"

At this point, Xiao Shi scratched his long hair, looking somewhat frustrated.

"Ugh……"

After hearing Xiao Shi's words, Hua shook his head helplessly and did not refute them.

Because it's true, compared to her slow-paced "old lady," Xiao Shi is a fast-paced kid... their travel rhythms are completely incompatible.

"Go sightseeing by yourself this afternoon, but be careful not to cause trouble." After giving this final, worried reminder, Hua Cai continued to communicate with the others in his mind.

'I'll be the anchor point. Rita, go help Bianca or rest.'

"That's fine, then I'll trouble you, Miss Hua."

After a brief discussion, Hua was chosen as the final candidate for this anchor point.

'Okay, then I'll summon Sister Hua right now.'

With a thought from Gretchen, Hua, who was originally far away near Lungmen, appeared before her in a faint light.

"Long time no see, Sister Hua. I'll be leaving the rest to you now."

Seeing the person who suddenly appeared in front of her, Gretchen greeted them earnestly.

"You can go ahead, I'll take care of things here." Hearing this, Hua nodded slightly and gave Gretchen a faint smile.

"OK."

Trimont, Colombia

After everything was ready on Gretchen's side, Sakura used the same method that Mebius had used to summon her, and summoned her over discreetly.

After successfully bringing the person over, Sakura didn't linger and returned to Rhine Lab in a reasonable manner.

As for why she didn't become the guide... the reason is simple: there's no need. After all, the memories are shared among several people, and no one necessarily knows more than the other.

"Well……"

Standing on the bustling street, Gretchen felt a little lost for a moment...

Although she possessed Sakura's memories of the streets and city, she was still somewhat unsure where to begin. Moreover, she had quite a few gifts to buy for her friends…

However, just as Gretchen was standing by the roadside in a daze, a familiar figure with beautiful colors caught her eye, making her eyes light up slightly.

However, even though she really liked that person's color, the little girl showed no intention of touching it, and even took a small step back.

If the reason is...

Because of possessing this touch

The person with beautiful colors is a silver-haired Vaiva woman with two pairs of dragon horns and a tail, nicknamed the Rhine Fist Queen.

Normally, Gretchen would have followed along, but today was special; she had a mission to complete… In order not to interfere with her Aunt Mebius's plans, she had to put the idea aside for the time being.

Thinking of this, a hint of regret couldn't help but appear in the little girl's beautiful violet eyes.

At the same time, Gretchen also experienced the wonderful feeling of a different perspective once again...

You should know that Mebius dislikes Saria very much, and could even be described as hating her.

However, viewing it from a little girl's perspective and way of thinking offers a completely new experience. For example, the pure colors surrounding Saria suggest she's a kind person, approachable, and one might even want to draw her...

"Well……"

After lost in thought for a while, and before Saria's figure had even disappeared from her sight, Gretsch gently shook her head and came back to her senses.

After regaining her senses, the little girl stopped worrying and decided to go to the nearest candy store first.

Although many people still haven't decided on gifts, there are quite a few children in the camp, including Alyona, so buying more candy is definitely a good idea.

While there are miniature dragons, Gretsch wants her friends and the children of the Reunion Movement to have one as well.

As for the candy flavor, the little girl plans to choose the same one that Muirsey recommended to Sakura before.

In the structural engineering laboratory—

Hamer looked up at the clock in the laboratory again, looking somewhat irritated.

And clearly, her appearance was also noticed by the others in the laboratory.

"What's wrong, Himer? This is the umpteenth time you've checked the time." Noticing his colleague's unusual behavior towards his friend, Albert walked over and whispered in Himer's ear.

"It's nothing... I just have an appointment at 2:00, and I'm still wondering whether I should go." Hemer gave her a complicated smile and explained in response to her colleague's question.

P.S.: Anyone want to see the little girl and Saria's intimate moments? If not, I won't write this part; I'll go straight back after I finish my business.

Chapter 126 Möbius's Actions and Himer's Fulfillment of the Appointment

"It's nothing... I just have an appointment this afternoon, and I'm still wondering whether I should go." Hemer gave her a complicated smile and explained in response to her colleague's question.

"I see... Wait, Himer, you didn't actually go to meet Director Seria, did you?" Albert's eyes lit up slightly as he said this, a hint of gossip flashing in them.

Although I haven't seen her in the last few days, anyone with eyes in the office could tell that Himer had a pretty good relationship with Seria, the director of the defense department next door, who was known for her strictness and seriousness.

"No...it's someone else."

Upon hearing this, Hermer gently shook his head.

“That’s true. If it were Director Seria, you probably wouldn’t be so conflicted, Himer.” After hearing Himer’s words, Albert nodded in agreement.

At that moment, Rami, who had been sitting with Albert, also came over and said with a smile, "It's rare to see our top student Himer so conflicted and distracted over a small date."

"However, we support your choice. It's fine if you don't go, but if you do go, we'll help you get a day off!"

Clearly, both Albert and Rami were showing signs of having the wrong idea at this moment. They were completely unaware that the person Hamer was going to meet was the "culprit" they had been discussing and wondering about recently.

"Yes, thank you. I'll let you know if I'm going..."

Realizing that her two colleagues might have misunderstood, Hermer gave a wry smile, but she wasn't in the mood to explain anything at the moment. She simply lowered her head and began to ponder.

And because of the person's renewed mention, the figure she had previously admired resurfaced in Hermer's mind... If she could, she really, really wanted to not believe what her teacher had said.

However, the evidence was there... Saria's large signature on that document had already pierced her heart and shattered her trust.

Möbius's laboratory—

“Pah, pah—”

In the empty and quiet laboratory, small, rhythmic popping sounds rang out.

At this moment, Möbius wasn't in the lab as usual, looking at data or conducting experiments. He was simply sitting on a small sofa used for entertaining guests, expressionlessly squeezing bubble wrap.

The only reason that made Snake abandon her experiments and start this project was that she had hit a roadblock and was feeling somewhat frustrated.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

"call--"

Mebius's frustration subsided only after he had completely squashed the bubble wrap in his hand.

She then slowly exhaled, threw the useless bubble wrap into the trash can, and stood up.

Of course, Mebius stood up at this moment not to throw himself back into the experiment, at least not for the time being.

Because compared to needing not

After a long period of experimentation, she now has something more meaningful to do.

If this succeeds, it will greatly facilitate Mebius's subsequent actions.

Thinking it over, Möbius picked up his personal data instrument from his desk, glanced at the empty laboratory, and then slowly opened the door and left, heading towards his dormitory.

The next thing was relatively important and formal, so Snake planned to go back and tidy up her clothes first.

……

After making some preparations and bringing all the "bargains," Möbius then sent his application to the chief secretary just as the lunch break was ending.

Finally, with her application approved, she calmly and unhurriedly boarded the elevator to the office of Chief Executive Christen Wright.

----------------

the other side--

Long before the appointed time arrived, Gretchen arrived at the place where Mebius and Himer had agreed to meet and found a corner to wait quietly.

As time passed, and the appointed time approached, the little girl still hadn't seen Himeru.

However, Greta wasn't in a hurry. She gave Himer an hour to deal with any unexpected situations that might arise.

In other words, the little girl will wait here for an hour, until 3 o'clock, regardless of whether anyone comes or not. Only if the person still hasn't arrived by then will she leave to continue shopping for what she needs.
