Ark Undead

After hanging up the phone, Kal'tsit turned to the operator behind her and spoke.

"Prepare the reception room and brew a pot of hot tea; we have distinguished guests arriving."

"Yes!"

...

"Hey, the immortal."

At the entrance of the cafeteria, the Undead, carrying a dazed Kroos, encountered Ace.

"Ace, get up, it's early."

"Haha! I'm used to it, I'm used to it. You got up so early today, are you planning to come for dinner?"

Ace looked at the Undead in surprise and asked.

"That's quite rare, Mr. Undying. Have your symptoms returned?"

What Ace was referring to was whether the Undead had drunk the Emergency Rational Elixir again.

But the Undead hadn't had a chance to collect his reward from Kal'tsit, nor had he drunk the stuff.

"No."

The Undead shook his head, while simultaneously lifting the furry dog ​​he was holding in his right hand.

"Keopatra, you're hungry, time to eat."

"what!"

The dog being held suddenly straightened up and yawned.

Then his head drooped down again, and he drifted off to sleep.

The Undead shook the Kroos he was holding in his right hand, and the fleshy part of Kroos's face twitched twice in response. But she still didn't react, and after a while, she even started snoring as if she were asleep.

"I'm still half asleep."

The Undead shrugged at Ace, indicating that he couldn't do anything about it either.

Ace watched the interaction between the Undead and Kroos, his cheeks twitching as he tried his best to suppress the urge to laugh.

The impression that the people of Rhodes Island have of Ceobe is probably that of a cute and silly girl with high combat power.

But this silly girl was very wary of strangers; no one had ever seen her being carried like this before.

The three of them went into the cafeteria together. The Undead first put Kroos on a seat, and then they went to buy food with Ace.

"After I got back yesterday, I wrote my performance report and gave it to Dr. Kal'tsit."

Ace and the Undead started chatting while waiting in line.

"Dr. Kal'tsit is still awake; she's still worried about the Doctor's situation."

"Doctor, no, is everything alright?"

"It's really nothing, but the fact that the Doctor has lost his memory is a big deal for all of us. Especially for Dr. Kal'tsit, it's an even bigger deal."

Speaking of his doctorate, Ace couldn't help but sigh.

"I was hoping that the Doctor's return would help Dr. Kal'tsit with the island's operations, but it seems we can't count on him now. Oh well."

Ace flashed a hearty smile.

"The fact that the doctor is back is already a cause for celebration for all of us. We can't ask for too much from him. The doctor has made a great contribution to our current life."

It seems that the long-time members of Rhodes Island are all unanimously very grateful to the Doctor.

“Amiya has deep feelings for the Doctor, and so do we. The fact that the Doctor came back with us and is willing to cooperate with our examinations shows that the Doctor has a very good impression of us.”

Ace handed over his employee card and ordered a standard Chinese-style breakfast.

"Steamed buns, fried dough sticks, sesame balls, and soy milk, want to try some? These are things that Yan people often eat. I think Andercher or someone else is on duty today. They like to make these kinds of main meals that are like desserts."

Following Ace's advice, the Undead also sent a portion to Kroos, but requested a three-person serving.

Upon seeing the Undead hand over Kroos's employee card, the operator serving the food immediately narrowed his eyes.

He added two more servings to the original three-person portion, and then solemnly told the Undead.

"Mr. Undead, believe me, this much food is pretty much Miss Krobe's normal ration. If she's in a good mood today, remember to come back for a little extra food later."

"?" The Undead was silent for a moment, then could only nod.

Have these operators been keeping track of Kroos's food intake every single day?!

Following Ace back to the table, the Undead patted Ceobe's head again.

The aroma of food and the hand of the immortal completely awakened Kroos.

The Undead placed the chopsticks and fork in front of the Ceobe table and said.

"Eat. I'm done eating, I have something to do."

...

On the other side, after seeing off the visiting guests, Kal'tsit rubbed her head, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Just then, Kal'tsit's office door was pushed open.

She looked up and saw a person in a black protective suit standing at the door.

He couldn't help but shrink back when he saw Kal'tsit's exhausted appearance.

"Did I... arrive at the wrong time?"

"No, you've come at the perfect time. Sit down. What would you like to drink? Coffee would be fine."

"all good."

Kal'tsit gestured for the Doctor to sit on the sofa next to her, while she herself stood up and went to the coffee machine next to her.

How would you like your coffee?

How do you want to drink it?

The doctor paused for a moment, then asked.

"How else can we drink it?"

"Perhaps you could chew the coffee beans first, swallow them, and then pour hot water over them."

"Are you crazy?! Such a high temperature?!"

"But you used to do this when you were too busy. By the way, you also did it when you were eating instant noodles."

As she spoke, Kal'tsit brought two steaming cups of coffee to the Doctor and placed one in front of him.

"Two spoonfuls of milk, one spoonful of sugar. I don't have any cocoa syrup here, I'll have to go to the cafeteria. Just make do with this."

Kal'tsit sat down with her plain black coffee, instinctively crossing her left leg over her right, curling up her upper body, and taking a sip of the scalding coffee.

The doctor carefully picked up the coffee, tried to open his mask, and took a sip.

"It's so hot!"

"Then drink slowly."

When Kal'tsit saw the way the person who had burned themselves hurriedly put down their coffee, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve slightly, but she quickly smoothed it out.

"Is the taste to your liking?"

"It tastes pretty good, just a bit too hot."

The doctor was in a panic, and as he was about to put down the coffee, his hand trembled again, and the scalding coffee spilled all over his clothes.

Kal'tsit looked at the flustered Doctor and a sense of novelty arose within her.

She pursed her lips and asked calmly.

“The Ursus ambassador came this morning. They talked to me about Chernobog and informed me that the core city of Chernobog had been separated from the main city early this morning.”

The large white cat looked at the doctor beside it.

"Doctor, what do you think?"

The Doctor was still frantically cleaning up the coffee he had accidentally spilled on his clothes when he heard Kal'tsit's question and looked up at her somewhat blankly.

"what?"

"..."

Kal'tsit sighed.

"Fine, you drink it, I won't ask you anymore."

Kal'tsit picked up her coffee, straightened up, took two more sips, and then stood up.

"I made an appointment with the Undead for you an hour ago. He'll be here in about twenty minutes. You can organize your thoughts and talk to him when he arrives."

She glanced at the doctor.

"Is everything alright?"

"No problem."

The doctor nodded.

I can't explain why, but I just feel that the woman in front of me...

Their relationship was probably not bad before.

196. Unravel the mystery, and discover more mysteries.

First of all, congratulations.

The first thing the Undead said when he entered the room was to the Doctor.

"Congratulations on your return to Rhodes Island."

"Heh, forget it. To be honest, I don't really feel any reality right now. On the contrary, the sounds of fighting on the battlefield are still echoing in my ears, which makes me feel that's the real thing."

Their eyes met, and a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere arose as they talked.

Kal'tsit, standing to the side, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, looking at the Doctor with a strange expression.
