I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Proswan looked at the Penguin Logistics uniforms that Exusiai and Croissant were wearing and said:

"Huh? Are you Penguin Logistics operators here to deliver orders from Lungmen?"

Upon hearing Proswan's words, Exusiai and Croissant nodded and said:

“That’s right, it’s us. You mean Miss Provence, the Rhodes Island contact person Angelina mentioned earlier?”

Proswan nodded, patted his chest, and said to Exusiai and the others:

"That's right, I'm the Rhodes Island contact person for this order. Just call me Provence."

Exusiai nodded and said:

“I understand, Miss Proswan. However, the Lungmen order is with our team leader in Texas. We need to go to the hotel where Texas and her team are staying to get the order.”

Hearing Exusiai's words, Prosper didn't pay much attention and said to them:

"Hmm, it's alright. After all, it seems like you've only just arrived in this mobile city, so there's no need to rush."

Chapter 108 [New Commission]

In the hotel room where Texas and her group were staying, Texas, Yuhaka, and Provence were sitting on the bed and chairs.

"Stare-OwO"

"Uh... that..."

Proswan looked at Yuhaka, who was staring at her big tail, with an embarrassed expression and said to her:

"Want to touch?"

"Hmm~OwO"

Then Yuhaka, with his short legs, came to Provence's side, took the fluffy tail that she handed him, and hugged it, nuzzling against her.

Texas looked at Proswan with an embarrassed expression and said:

"I'm sorry, my daughter Youyou has caused you trouble."

Proswan quickly waved his hand and said:

"It's okay. After all, my fluffy tail is more attractive to children. There are quite a few kids on Rhodes Island who like my big tail, so I don't mind it."

Then Proswan took out his tablet and said to Texas:

"Miss Texas, did you bring the order from Lungmen?"

Texas nodded, took out her tablet, and said to Proswan:

"Of course I brought it, please accept it."

Texas transmitted the order information from the companies in Lungmen to Proswan's tablet via Bluetooth. After receiving the order information from Texas, Proswan nodded and said to Texas:

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Texas."

Texas checked the inventory list on her tablet and said:

“This is our job, Miss Provence. By the way, I have some questions I would like to ask Miss Provence, may I ask you?”

Upon hearing Texas's words, a puzzled Prosven nodded and said:

"Sure, as long as it involves questions I can't answer."

After receiving Provence's reply, Texas thought for a moment and then said to Provence:

"Those orders are all commissioned orders that require the production of certain materials. Can Rhodes Island also receive and manufacture weapon materials and industrial materials?"

Upon hearing Texas's question, Proswan smiled and said:

"Well, it's normal for Texas to ask that question. Although Rhodes Island is officially a pharmaceutical company, we actually outsource a lot of work."

Proswan then told Texas about the work Rhodes Island outsourced. In addition to producing weapon and industrial materials, they also produced chips and extracted Originium fragments from piles of solidified Originium and discarded mechanical parts.

Another thing is to create some skill summaries.

Texas was also surprised when she heard Proswan's words. She had thought that Rhodes Island was a pharmaceutical company with a group of powerful operators, which was already impressive enough, but she did not expect that Rhodes Island would outsource other work.

Proswan explained to Texas that Rhodes Island couldn't make much money just by selling drugs and getting other patients to pay their medical bills. You have to know that Rhodes Island has to spend a lot of money every month, such as the maintenance of research ships, the funds for drug research, and the salaries of operators.

Rhodes Island must find other ways to obtain more funding.

After hearing Proswan's words, Texas broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Proswan, saying:

"Is Rhodes Island really that short of money?"

Proswan scratched his cheek and said to Texas with a forced smile:

"Well... it's less about lacking money and more about Rhodes Island having many expenses. Oh, by the way, Miss Texas, is Penguin Logistics going to Letania on their next journey?"

Upon hearing this question, Texas nodded and said:

"Yes, we do need to go to Letania. Is there a problem?"

"Hey, Rhodes Island's HR department has a job application to send to two people living in Letania, hehe."

As he spoke, Proswan rummaged through his backpack, and under Texas's watchful gaze, he handed her a folder and continued, "..."

"I hope you in Texas can hand over the documents to them and escort them to Rhodes Island. This way, you can also send the weapons and industrial materials that Lungmen just sent over back to Lungmen after they are made. Is that alright?"

After listening to Proswan's words, Texas thought for a moment, then nodded and said to Proswan:

"Yes, no problem, but it might take a little longer. Is that alright?"

Proswan nodded and said:

"Well, that's not a problem. After all, you'll always encounter all sorts of problems in the wilderness, so it's fine to be a little more stable."

After signing the order, Proswan said goodbye to Texas and Yhaka.

Goodbye, Yu-Yu-chan~

"Bye-bye, Big Tail, um... and Provence."

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Provence looked at Yuhaka with a bewildered expression, thinking:

Why is my big tail in front of my name?!

As the elevator doors closed, Provence, who had been calling out, "Call me Provence, sister!" disappeared from Texas and Yohaka's sight. Texas, standing next to Yohaka, patted Yohaka's head and said to her:

"Well, let's go back."

"Hmm~OwO"

After Texas and Ehka returned to their room, they saw Exusiai emerge from the bathroom, having finished her shower. Exusiai, drying her damp, burgundy hair with a towel, said to Texas and Ehka:

"Hey Texas, how's work going? By the way, where are Croissant and Sora? Aren't they here?"

Regarding Exusiai's question, Texas handed the clean penguin logistics uniform that was placed to the side to the naked Exusiai and said:

"They took the clothes down to the laundry floor."

Upon hearing this news, Exusiai nodded and said:

"Oh, I see. Speaking of that big tail just now..."

“Prosven! OwO,” Yuhaka reminded Exusiai of the name of the big-tailed wolf that had just left.

"Hmm, Provence mentioned Letania, a city that seems to have quite a few scholars, right?"

Texas nodded and said:

"Yes, that's the city. We need to pick up two people there and take them to Rhodes Island. If that's the case, we'll have to change our transport vehicles in Letania."

Exusiai pulled her panties up over her legs and said to Texas:

"Well, the boss will reimburse our expenses for this operation anyway, so getting a better vehicle shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Chapter 109 [Preparing to Head to the Volcanic Region]

After getting a good night's sleep at a hotel in the city, Texas and her group resumed their cargo-delivering journey to Letania.

Inside the transport vehicle, Yhwach looked out the window at the volcano on the distant horizon. Seeing Yhwach's reaction, Exusiai smiled and said:

"What's wrong, Youyou? Is this your first time seeing a volcano?"

Upon hearing Exusiai's words, Ehaka turned his head, staring at Exusiai with wide eyes and a confused expression, and said:

"Youyou, I've been there, to the volcano."

Hearing Yhaka's words, Exusiai immediately became curious and leaned close to Yhaka's face, saying:

"Hmm? Has Youyou ever been to a volcano? Can you tell Exusiai-neechan about volcanoes?"

Croissant and Sora, and even Texas in the cockpit, all perked up their ears when they heard Exusiai's words. After all, Yuhaka rarely talked about his past, which made the girls present very curious.

Yuhaka first appeared to be thinking (－」－…), then started talking about what happened on the volcano in the Monster Hunter world before he was transported to this world.

The Penguin Logistics members present were stunned by what Yuhaka said. Although Texas and the others had never been to a volcano before, they had at least read or heard about volcanoes online and in books.

"The volcanic chili peppers are delicious...we can make them into chili sauce~"

“???×4”

Do volcanoes grow chili peppers? The Penguin Logistics members present looked completely bewildered. Although they knew that some volcanic areas could grow vegetation, they had no idea whether chili peppers grew there.

"Volcanic herb, gunpowder grass, can't eat it, disgusting ò?ó."

“???×4”

They might recognize chili peppers, but they wouldn't recognize gunpowder grass. By the way, do volcanoes have such plants?

They really didn't know.

This is quite normal. Gunpowder grass is a plant found only in the Monster Hunter world. It's a plant that looks a lot like a cactus (a member of the cactus family). Because its roots are very deep underground and grow in all directions, hunters can't really pull it up by the roots. Usually, hunters just use their hunting knives to cut off the part that's above ground.

Because of their tendency to explode when exposed to open flame, hunters are very careful when placing gunpowder strawberries in areas where they have placed them.

(The above information was found in the Monster Hunter artbook.)

"There are volcanoes with round, chubby monsters; they're really fun!"

"Uh... x4"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, the three people present and Texas in the cockpit all thought of a certain round thing, which was the Originium Bug. Although the Originium Bug was not very threatening to ordinary people, a large number of Originium Bugs and their snail-like teeth were a terrifying existence.

After all, teeth that can gnaw on minerals and Originium are not to be trifled with. Of course, in addition to ordinary Originium bugs, there are also various subspecies of Originium bugs that are not to be trifled with, such as those that can spew strong acid or explode.

Of course, they didn't know that the round monster Yuhaka was talking about was the Red Armor Beast.
