It looks quite old.
She seemed completely listless and weak, and said listlessly, "Hello."
"Hello."
Shi Chen nodded slightly, feigning ignorance as he asked, "Who are you?"
"...I am Murasame Reine, who serves as an analyst here." Murasame Reine seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then replied softly.
"Ms. Murasame? Hello." Shichen smiled slightly.
"Um......"
Looking at the time, Murasame Reine was a little lost in thought, but then she came back to her senses and turned around: "Come with me, I'll take you to see someone... You probably have a lot of questions right now, but I'm not good at explaining them."
As Murasame Reine spoke, she started walking, and Tokishi quickly followed, standing beside her.
"where is this place?"
He was in a narrow corridor, surrounded by light-colored, mechanical-style walls and floors, just like the passageways of a spaceship in a movie.
Pretty much the same actually.
"This is Fraxinus... Ah..."
Murasame Reine was speaking when she suddenly stumbled and almost fell over. Tokishi quickly caught her.
"Are you OK?"
Murasame Reine leaned weakly against Tokimitsu's chest, a hint of happiness appearing on her face, but it vanished in an instant.
She replied softly, "Ah... I'm sorry, it must be due to lack of sleep."
"So, how long has it been since you last slept?"
“Hmm…” Murasame Reine tilted her head, as if she was thinking seriously, and then she held up three fingers.
"Three days?" Shi Chen asked to confirm.
"No...it should be thirty years, right?"
"real or fake?"
"Hmm... I can't remember when I last slept. I just have a bit of insomnia."
"I see. Sufficient sleep is essential for maintaining good health."
“I know, but… you don’t seem to doubt what I’m saying? You believe I haven’t slept for thirty years?” Murasame Reine suddenly asked.
"Huh? Oh, I thought you were joking," Shi Chen explained with a smile.
"Oh, I see... Oh, I almost forgot, it's time to take your medicine."
She suddenly pulled out a bottle of pills from her bosom, opened it, tilted her head back, and prepared to gulp down all the pills in one go.
Hey! What are you doing?
Shi Chen was startled and quickly covered her mouth. The pill hit the back of his hand and then spilled all over the ground.
Crackling.
"What are you doing?" Murasame Reine asked in return.
The dampness settled on his palm. Shichen withdrew his hand and asked in a reprimanding tone, "What are you doing?"
“I’m taking my medicine,” she replied matter-of-factly.
"...Then why are you taking so many pills? And what kind of pills are these?"
"It's just sleeping pills."
"But? I'm afraid we'll eat ourselves to death."
"Don't worry, it won't work on me."
"This isn't about whether it's effective or not; no matter what, you shouldn't be taking so much medicine!"
Shichen knew that Murasame Reine was special and that she wouldn't have any problems, but her attitude towards him just now made it impossible for him to ignore it.
"It's really okay, and it tastes sweet and delicious."
"You think that's candy?!" Shi Chen couldn't help but slap her on the head.
"Huh?" Murasame Reine stared blankly at Toki, her eyes seemingly filled with memories.
"what happened to you?"
"No, it's alright... I won't eat, okay? We've been taking a while, please come with me."
Murasame Reine suddenly broke free from Toki's embrace, then swayed as she stood up, put away the empty medicine bottle, and staggered forward.
Shi Chen frowned as he watched her retreating figure, then started walking to catch up.
The two did not exchange any more words. Their soft footsteps echoed throughout the corridor, and it took them quite a while to reach their destination.
"This is it."
At the end of the passage, Murasame Reine stopped in front of a door with a small electronic dashboard on the side. Immediately afterward, the electronic dashboard emitted a light sound, and the door opened automatically.
"go in."
Murasame Reine walked in without looking back, and Shichen followed her in.
"It's truly spectacular."
The interior is very high-tech, resembling the bridge of a spaceship. Starting from the door through which the time passes, the floor extends into a semi-elliptical shape, with a chair in the center that gives the impression of a captain's seat.
On either side of the captain's seat, there are gentle staircases leading down to the lowest level, where several crew members can be seen operating sophisticated instruments.
Shi Chen was inexplicably excited, not only because he was seeing this place with his own eyes, but also because a spaceship is one of the romantic things for men.
"I brought him here," Murasame Reine said to the back of a man next to the captain's seat.
"Thanks for your hard work."
The tall man turned around and bowed slightly like a butler.
He was very handsome, with long blond hair, and didn't look like a Japanese person.
"Nice to meet you. I am the deputy commander here, my name is Kannazuki Kyohei. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Tokimatsu."
"Oh~ you know me?" Shi Chen raised an eyebrow.
"Yes." Kannazuki Kyohei smiled gently.
"is it?"
It seems that, just as he thought, his future self will go back to the past and do something.
"Commander, the Murasame analyst has returned." At this moment, Kannazuki Kyohei respectfully reported to the captain's seat.
"Ah."
A rather childish yet serious female voice rang out, followed by a deep sound from the captain's seat, which had been facing away from the hour, as he slowly turned around.
"Welcome! Welcome to Ratatosk."
The commander revealed her true appearance: a cute girl with a dark red military uniform draped over her shoulders. She crossed her legs, her long red hair tied into twin ponytails with wide black ribbons, her petite body, and her round, acorn-like eyes. She grinned menacingly, exuding an imposing aura.
However, her face was too cute and childlike, and she had a lollipop in her mouth, which made it hard to feel any sense of authority.
She took the lollipop out of her mouth, stood up, smiled sweetly, and pounced on Shichen.
"Long time no see, Brother Chen!"
"Ok?"
Shichen hugged her, a little confused: "Kotori?"
“It’s me!”
Kotori... Kotori Itsuka happily rubbed her little head against his chest.
"..." Having seen Chizuka's example, Tokimatsu was no longer surprised, but it still felt a bit abrupt.
"How long has it been since we last saw each other?"
"It's been five years! I've missed you so much, Brother Chen!" Kotori Itsuka hugged him even tighter.
"Five years..."
"Brother Chen? What's wrong?" Kotori Itsuka looked up at her, puzzled.
"Although I'd like to explain, it doesn't seem like the right time now." Shi Chen smiled and gestured for her to look around.
"Huh?" Kotori Itsuka was taken aback for a moment, then looked around and realized that everyone was looking at her with affection.
"Ugh!" Her face flushed red. Coming to her senses, she immediately let go of Shichen and walked back to the captain's seat.
"Hehe~" Shi Chen couldn't help but laugh.
Although he had only just met Kotori Itsuka and wasn't yet the "Brother Chen" she referred to, he already knew her well and wasn't a complete stranger to her.
"Cough cough."
After Kotori Itsuka sat down, she coughed twice to cover her embarrassment, and then said in a serious tone, "Welcome again, Brother Chen, to Ratatosk."
Is this place called Ratatosk?
"Yes, this is an organization specifically set up for Brother Chen."
"Established for me? What about Itsuka Shido?"
"Itsuka Shido? Who is that? How come he shares the same surname as me?" Itsuka Kotori frowned and asked.
"You don't know? Then...?" Shichen looked at Murasame Reine.
"Hmm?" Murasame Reine tilted her head, equally puzzled.
"This is really..."
"Brother Chen still likes to say nonsense. Let's not worry about it. Brother Chen, let's get started with Ratatosk!"
"What action do you mean?"
“Brother Chen doesn’t know about AST yet, but that’s okay. You just need to know that the elves you’re protecting are in danger, and all of us in Ratatosk will help you protect them.”
"The spirit I should protect?"
