“Joyce, stand this way. Finn, you go over there.”

"Isn't this a bit much?! Miss Melutina."

"You smell terrible."

"Haha... Joachim is standing here too."

"Hey?! Wait a minute, Joyce! Am I the only one being rejected?"

"By the way, who is this guy?"

"Huh?!"

"You can tell at a glance that she's Finnish, Miss Edison."

"what……"

"You've definitely forgotten, haven't you?!"

……

"Haha, what a fun bunch."

Rianna posed for the camera, a smile unconsciously appearing on her face.

"Are you about to take pictures?"

"Eh?"

"Just kidding, just kidding. You should come over too, Fu Hua."

Leona chuckled and patted Fu Hua on the shoulder.

"one two Three……"

"Idiot, come over here too, what are you doing standing there shouting 'one, two, three'?"

Tesla, hands on his hips, said...

"I don't want people to think you're being ostracized."

"You're just saying one thing and meaning another, Dr. Tesla."

"Einstein said lazily."

"So noisy, you have this messy hair!"

Tesla was astonished.

Meanwhile, Melutina, who was standing nearby, took the opportunity to pull Tesla away from Planck's arms.

"Wait?! What are you doing, Melutina?"

Tesla, of course, cried out in alarm; she didn't want the messy-haired girl to be held by Dr. Planck alone.

"Our mature Dr. Tesla should learn to sacrifice himself for others."

Melutina remained unmoved, a hint of a smile in her eyes.

“Leanna, stand in the middle. Dr. Tesla has made room for you.”

"okay."

Leanna operated the camera for a moment, stood in the middle, and smiled at the camera.

"Everyone, one, two, three..."

"eggplant!"

…………

"Dr. Linnaeus, tonight's..."

"Don't be so formal, just call me Melutina, or as my nickname, Medi."

Melutina gripped the steering wheel, tilted her head, and glanced at the brochure in Walter Joyce's hand.

"And Joyce, you can decide on dinner, isn't that your job?"

"That's true, but it seems everyone has different tastes."

Joyce looked at the brochure in her hand with some annoyance.

"Melutina, drive carefully."

The Tesla behind them said with dissatisfaction.

"Oh, how sad, Dr. Tesla still refuses to call me Metti."

Melutina looked sad.

"Shut up, you old woman of unknown age! After all, it's 1955 now! Two hundred years have passed since the era you were active in! Two hundred years!"

Tesla snorted.

"Hahaha, this is really great! According to your calculations, I'm younger than that kid Otto."

Melutina laughed heartily.

"Oh, my glasses are crooked, Joyce, can you straighten them for me?"

"Oh well."

"Let's set aside Dr. Linnaeus's age. More importantly, you know that Valkyrie Fu Hua, right?"

Schrödinger began to speak.

"Although I don't know him very well, he doesn't seem like a bad person."

"He's just one of the world's few idiots, don't worry about him."

Melutina took a slender cigarette out of her pocket and put it in her mouth.

Just as Joyce was surprised that she was smoking, Melutina took a bite, making a "crunch crunch" sound.

"By the way, Joachim, would you like to play video games? They're quite popular these days."

Melutina suddenly remembered the strange gift she had received.

"I want to play!"

Tesla immediately came over.

“Dr. Tesla, I don’t think Miss Medie is asking you.”

Einstein began to speak lazily.

"What?! You've got a messy head of hair. You can't play a game alone."

Tesla pursed his lips and glanced at the silent Finn behind him.

"And what's the deal with that gloomy middle-aged man over there?"

"Because not only Miss Edison, but also Miss Leanna and Miss Fu Hua don't remember him. He perfectly hid his existence, Finn."

Schrödinger remarked.

"Well... since everyone remembers Joachim, it doesn't really matter, right?"

Planck spoke, but her words didn't sound like comfort at all. Then she looked at Tesla.

"Speaking of Nancy, isn't she with us?"

"Who knows? Anyway, it's that woman; she's definitely busy making money."

Tesla snorted.

"Money is also very important, which is why this American branch can stay away from that bastard Otto... Excuse me, that bastard Otto's control."

Melutina shrugged and said.

"It hasn't been changed at all..."

Tesla was speechless.

“These days, it’s really hard to find a place where you’re not exploited by Otto. Luckily, Nancy made room for me.”

Melutina took another gummy candy out of her pocket and popped it into her mouth. Joyce, standing next to her, looked at her strangely, feeling that the eccentric doctor's pockets were practically a general store.

"You talk like you're a white-collar worker."

Tesla rolled his eyes.

"The patent fees alone should be enough for you to live comfortably, you old hag?"

"Dear Dr. Tesla, your prejudice against me is truly profound. But compared to Dr. Tesla, who is a famous scientist but is always short of money, I am indeed living a very comfortable life."

As Melutina parked the car, she took out chewing gum from her pocket, only to have it snatched away by Planck behind her.

"You've been consuming too much sugar, Medie."

"Don't be so strict, Emma."

Melutina shrugged helplessly, but didn't take out any more candies.

"Since no one has any ideas, let's go to the beach for a barbecue."

Planck handed the candy to Joachim behind him and suggested it.

"I see. Emma's drunken madness is a signature act."

"No, I changed that habit ten years ago."

Would you like some alcohol?

"Idiot, how can you separate barbecue and beer?"

What about the grill?

"I want to eat meat."
