I ruined Tyra.

W, holding her head with her hands and holding a piece of wild grass that she had found from somewhere, was wandering aimlessly in the corridor. From time to time, well-trained soldiers passed by her, and occasionally the sounds of children playing could be heard from the distance.

Ines was right. The room they stayed in did look like the best one, because along the way she saw many rooms that were closed and had labels saying "under repair", and the few rooms that were available were also in a dilapidated state.

Herag, who was also with her, had been to Rhodes Island before. Now, seeing that the entire Rhodes Island ship looked dilapidated, he was also sighing.

Soon, she, who was unfamiliar with the road, walked along the corridor and came to a crossroads deep inside.

Just as she was marveling at the size of the ship and how some of the facilities looked brand new while others were shabby, a petite Carters girl blocked her way.

Looking at the Sarkaz who was taller than her, the Carters girl mustered up her courage and said:

"Ah! Sorry, the facilities ahead are still under construction.

Doctor Kelsey said that we should not go to deeper places casually, as it would be very dangerous. "

W looked at the exposed wires and unknown cracks on the road in front of him and felt that what she said made sense.

"Hmm, okay, I'll try another route then." "Thank you~thank you."

After saying that, W picked a place that looked pleasing to the eye from either side and continued to move forward. That seemed to be the place where the Carters girl appeared, so it must be safe.

Just as she was walking and thinking about what happened to the Carters girl, a girl's desperate scream suddenly came from another intersection ahead, successfully attracting W's attention.

"Why is it stuck again!!!"

W trotted a few steps to the intersection, stretched out her two flexible tentacles and the tuft of hair on her head to observe the situation for a while, and then she heard a gentle voice, which seemed to be comforting the other person.

"Calm down, Kluchil, this is only the seventh short circuit today."

However, her attempts to comfort her seemed to have the opposite effect.

"Seventh Short Circuit!

This is an absolute disgrace to such a talented engineer!"

Then I heard the other party say, "Why don't you consider buying a new batch of doors? That way it will be faster!"

The gentle voice uttered an "ah" when hearing this, and then began to think quietly.

W stuck his head out and saw a Sarkaz woman in white clothes looking down at something, while an equally petite Sarkaz girl who looked like a vampire was squatting in front of the door in front of them, checking the situation with a screwdriver.

Soon, the woman understood what was going on, then lowered her head and said a little embarrassedly:

"Because there are so many more injured people, their food needs to be purchased urgently, and both manpower and budget are limited..."

“Guwuwuwu~”

The woman didn't finish her sentence, but the vampire girl obviously knew what she meant.

She covered her face in pain and cried out, then looked at the line of the door in front of her and said through gritted teeth: "Then! Your Highness!

Give me three days! Three days! Since it can’t be fixed no matter how hard we try, we might as well just dismantle the entire security system and rebuild it!”

"Re-reload? Is it possible?"

Facing His Highness's doubts, Klucil patted her chest and said confidently:

"Although I don't know who created these incomprehensible systems and they are still buried deep in RemBit, since I can't figure it out, I might as well just replace it with something that can be understood. It's a very simple principle."

His Highness, W, and Hellagur, who relied on his spiritual advantage to openly watch Kalciel research the security system, all felt that what the other party said made sense.

His Highness gently pressed the other's shoulder, and said seriously, as if entrusting him with an important task: "Then~ I'll trouble you."

Klushier seemed to be fully charged instantly. She said "Yes, sir" with full energy and ran to the other side, leaving His Highness standing there, staring at the door and sighing.

"Alas, Rhodes Island, it looks like it will take a long time before it can be put into use."

After hearing this unfamiliar word, perhaps because I was infected by His Highness's friendliness, I became less wary.

W, who had been eavesdropping, subconsciously recited the word, and then her voice was heard by the other party.

"Who! Ah~ You are... I remember you were with Hedley..."

His Highness was startled, turned around and saw W peeping, and quickly recognized him.

Then she remembered that the other party was seriously injured and should still be lying in bed resting.

Thinking of this, His Highness became concerned.

"Are you awake? Why don't you take a rest? I remember you were seriously injured before."

Faced with the other party's concern, W, who has always been fearless, could not help but lower his head, not daring to look into the other party's eyes.

She just put her hands behind her back, like a child who had done something wrong, and said timidly:

"Mercenary W, I was looking for Captain Hedley, and I accidentally got lost—"

His Highness immediately reminded the timid girl of the same tribe.

"Be careful when you're investigating. Some areas are still under construction and wires are exposed. Be careful of electric shock. But this level of caution is probably part of your nature as mercenaries, right? I didn't even notice you coming over here just now."

Faced with His Highness's self-mockery, W rarely spoke and remained silent.

His Highness was not angry when his concern was not responded to by the other party. Instead, he confirmed the other party's name again.

"W, really? Call me Theresa."

Hearing the name, W subconsciously wanted to look up, but then he suppressed it and continued to keep his head down in silence.

Theresa was not in a hurry. Instead, she placed one hand on her chest and supported her chin with the other hand, thinking seriously.

"As for Hedley, he had a brief chat with the doctor after the meeting and should have returned to the temporary ward now."

After confirming that her recollection was correct, Theresa happily persuaded W, like a girl who had finally gotten the answer after several calculations.

"Don't let your companions worry too much. You should go back too."

After hearing this, W finally looked up, but still didn't dare to look at the other person's face. The voice was so soft that Theresa almost didn't hear it clearly.

“Theresa…Your Highness?”

"Hmm? Ah~ This is not Kazdel, no need to be so reserved."

"Then Theresa... Your Highness, why are you fighting with a door here? That little guy just now was an engineer, right? Such a small matter..."

W tried several times but still called the other party by a respectful title, and then asked somewhat stiffly, but her question was quickly answered seriously by the other party.

"This is no small matter."

“Is… is it?”

“How many things are really not worth paying attention to?”

Theresa said seriously. Just like her character, she always paid special attention to small things.

After hearing this answer, W was silent for a while, and then he cautiously asked:

"Then... what about Rhodes Island?"

"Eh? Did you hear that?

This is the name of the ship. Although it has not been officially named yet, I like to call it this way. "

Theresa was a little surprised at first, but then she shared her joy with her friends like a girl who had discovered something she loved, and then said a little embarrassedly:

"Of course, this is just my wishful thinking. Maybe the Doctor and Kal'tsit would object to using its 'real name'."

"Huh? Real name? This ship's?"

W couldn't believe it. She didn't even have a real name, only a code name.

Theresa nodded seriously, like a girl who had finally gained recognition from others, and happily shared her experiences of discovering the name of this ship.

W listened carefully, and suddenly the image of the other party and the engineer struggling with a door emerged in his mind.

Her Highness Theresa, who fought against the regent who usurped Kazdel and almost single-handedly reunited most of the Sarkaz royal court, is personally repairing an automatic door that has lost power. Doesn't she know how to do it?

When W thought of this, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Theresa, who was recounting her adventures on Rhodes Island, felt a little strange. The other party looked like she wanted to laugh but didn't want to. Was there something wrong with what she just said?

"What's wrong with you? You look a little weird."

W tried hard to hold back his laughter and tried to explain, fearing that the other party would misunderstand him.

"Is it considered presumptuous to laugh in front of His Highness?"

Hearing this question, Theresa thought for a moment, then said seriously:

"No, it doesn't count. But Kal'tsit and the Doctor don't seem to like to laugh. The soldiers also have a lot on their shoulders, so it's not easy for them to open up.

But if possible, I still hope that you can all smile. "

Having said that, Theresa subconsciously glanced in Kazdel's direction, and then continued: "But this is just an irresponsible wish. I cannot ignore the burden that is placed on you all."

W let out a breath. This topic was too heavy and she didn't know what to say.

After holding it in for a long time, she finally uttered: "Then it should be okay for me to laugh for a while, right?"

Theresa was stunned. Do I need to ask permission to laugh in front of her? She has made me lose the ability to laugh.

"Uh? ...please?"

W couldn't laugh anymore. She could only lower her head again and said, "No, this won't make me laugh anymore."

“I always feel like it’s my fault.”

Theresa tilted her head. Was what she just said wrong? Then what should she say?

W suddenly started coughing, fearing that he had overstepped his authority in some way.

"Ahem, I don't dare."

As she coughed, Thearesia seemed to have discovered something she had missed, and asked earnestly:

"how about you?"

W stopped coughing, wiped the corner of his mouth, and asked in confusion: "Ah? Me?"

Theresa nodded seriously, then pointed at herself and said "Theresa", then pointed at the ship under her feet and said "Rhodes Island", and finally pointed back to W. The meaning was very clear.

Faced with Theresa's question, W opened his mouth for a long time, and in the end, only "W" could come out.

Theresa shook her head. This was not the answer she wanted.

"That's not the point. 'W' just stands for a mercenary. Your name should represent you.

Don't let this disguise full of the atmosphere of war continue for too long. Not only the name, but also my meddling in other people's business."

Theresa wanted to preach something, but when she saw the other person's lost look, she finally reacted.

"Ah~ sorry, don't you have a name?"

This time W raised his head again, but still didn't dare to look the other person in the eye. His voice as thin as a mosquito said something that broke the defense of both Hellagur and Theresa.

"For the Sarkaz who were born in Kazdel, this is a common thing, right?

Few Sarkaz would care so much about...names. They are forgotten so quickly. It is very tiring to spend so much effort to remember the real names of so many people."

Theresa wanted to retort because she was the fool who took the trouble to remember her real name, so she mustered up the courage to refute.

“No, I don’t want to forget them, and I can’t forget them.

Wait until the dust settles in Kazdel, until you are no longer 'W', and we still have the chance to talk like we are today?

Maybe you will have a better name that suits you better.

Just like Rhode Island, it sounds a lot warmer if it has a name, right?

If you don't have a name, I'll give you one myself, how about that?"

Faced with Theresa's concern, W suddenly wanted to cry. She lowered her head and tried hard not to let the tears flow out.

"Your Highness... I have never thought of this."

Just when Theresa was about to say something else, someone interrupted her.

(This foreshadowing, planted long ago, came back like a boomerang and hit us hard four years later. When Theresa named W Vishdale, our defense was broken.)

Chapter 201 Born in the Night (8) W is like a different person

"Theresa, communication, Kazdel has made new moves, the doctor is already making arrangements."

Kal'tsit interrupted the conversation between the two. Now is an extraordinary period and the matter is urgent, so she can only do this.
