Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

This was just a brief mention. After all, the only people who really needed to listen were the three people from the Guards Bureau.

In this conference room, operators from Rhodes Island account for the largest proportion, followed by Penguin Logistics, and finally the Guards Bureau.

All the things she said before were said to the people in the Guard Bureau.

It's just a formality. As for whether the cooperation with the Imperial Guard can be deepened, it all depends on whether Rhodes Island can gain their trust.

Anyway, it seems that Sir Chen below doesn't trust them very much.

"…This is roughly what Rhodes Island has done in Longmen."

After saying that, Kal'tsit looked in the direction of Chen, Shi Huaiya, and Xingxiong, waiting for the three to ask questions.

"Almost the same. Not much different from what we already know, just a little more detailed."

Flipping through the information in his hand, Xingxiong said to Chen.

"That's it then... no other questions for now."

Hearing Xingxiong's words, Chen nodded.

She couldn't offer too many suggestions on this aspect. After all, apart from the three of them, few people in the Guards Bureau would pay attention to the slums.

You mean Emiya?

That's the guy from Penguin Logistics!

And Kal'tsit's explanation was very detailed, and combined with the information the Guards had, they naturally had no problems.

Then the meeting ended and everyone went back to work.

While Chen was packing up all the documents for today's meeting, Kelsey on the stage suddenly said:

"Then the next one is... you, Mr. Emiya Shirou."

"Ah? Um? Me?"

Emiya, who had just recovered from Kal'tsit's talk about those incomprehensible data, was stunned for a moment, then pointed at himself and asked.

"Well, taking this opportunity, Rhodes Island... or should I say, we want to talk to you."

Looking at Emiya's expression, Kal'tsit said.

Now comes the main topic.

"Here?"

If Emiya remembers correctly, this should be the meeting room of the Imperial Guard Bureau, right?

Is it really okay to use this for private chat?

"I have to go back to the ship to perform surgery. I don't have much time. If the Guards think it's inappropriate, we can go to Penguin Logistics to discuss it in detail."

Kal'tsit said directly, knowing what the other party was worried about without having to guess.

"Just talk here! Don't act like we're being petty."

After hearing what Kal'tsit said, Chen directly agreed to the other party's request.

If we don't lend it, wouldn't it make the Imperial Guard seem stingy?

Damn, I feel like I'm being completely controlled by this doctor.

In addition to these concerns, Chen was also very curious about what the two sides would talk about.

She knew that Emiya had cooperation with Rhodes Island, but the cooperation should only be between the office and not the headquarters, right?

Why does it feel like Rhodes Island seems to be paying close attention to Emiya?

Chen had vaguely noticed this since yesterday.

It's just that she was busy directing the operation yesterday and didn't think too much about it.

Then "Let's get straight to the point. Do you need a private conversation environment?"

After getting Sir Chen's permission, Kal'tsit asked Emiya.

"Ah... just say it directly. It's okay."

Originally, Emiya wanted to agree to the other party, but he had no choice but to give up because there were suddenly two hands on his shoulders, and Chen Sir's gaze was quite piercing.

Anyway, it shouldn't be anything too private, right?

"I see. I wonder what you think of Rhodes Island, Mr. Emiya?"

After looking at the four people behind Emiya and then at the somewhat piercing gazes from the Guards, Kal'tsit felt that Emiya seemed to be quite popular.

But these have nothing to do with her.

Holding the terminal in her hand, Kal'tsit began her questioning.

"Just call me Emiya. What else do you think of Rhodes Island?"

Faced with this question, Emiya thought about it for a while.

A mercenary company that employs child labor?

Emiya felt that if he dared to give this answer, he would definitely be beaten up by all the Rhodes Island operators present.

Other answers...

"Is it a pharmaceutical company that will help the weak and fight against the strong, and fight for living space for those infected?"

He himself didn't have many impressions of Rhodes Island, and most of them were a bit strange.

However, this was the only thing he remembered clearly, and it was one of the reasons why he had a good impression of Rhodes Island.

Fighting against the strong and helping the weak... just like a righteous partner, isn't that good?

"Besides that?"

After hearing what the other party said, Kal'tsit continued to ask.

"Huh? Uh... a pharmaceutical company with armed forces?"

When asked, Emiya thought for a long time before giving his answer in a more tactful way.

"..."

After hearing Emiya's answer, not only Kal'tsit and the people from Rhodes Island fell silent, but even the people from the Imperial Guard and Penguin Logistics fell silent.

This kid seems to be a nice person, why does he sometimes say things so hurtfully?

218 Three parties fight for Emiya

The meeting room was very quiet, with only the sounds of Kal'tsit's questions and Emiya's answers.

Most of the questions Kal'tsit asked were about the infected.

And Emiya would always answer the other person's questions based on his first thought.

After a little joke, Wei Gong would think for a while before answering each time.

Forgive him, he had just experienced two sessions that required thinking, and suddenly there was an additional question-and-answer session, which made him a little confused.

However, the other party also said that he had to rush back for surgery later, and it had been discussed before, so Emiya was answering the other party's questions here.

"Um...what's the purpose of asking these questions?"

After Kal'tsit finished asking a question, Archangel Nero beside her vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

How can this be called a chat? It's more like an interview, right?

Even the dumbest person should have noticed the problem, right? The three members of the Royal Guards, Texas, and Sora's eyes were already very dangerous!

No! Croissant! Croissant, cheer up! We'll need you to lead the way later!

Noticing that Croissant seemed to be the only one who didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, Exia could only keep giving him hints.

If a fight breaks out, only Croissant can handle it at Penguin Logistics!

"…There's nothing special about it. After all, Emiya and our Rhodes Island Longmen Office have a medical partnership. As the director of the Rhodes Island Medical Department, it's only natural for me to be concerned about it, right?"

Kal'tsit left her evaluation of Emiya on the terminal in her hand and answered Exia's question at the same time.

As for the real purpose...it will definitely not be made clear.

Having a constitution that won't be infected with oripathy is not something that can be said casually.

"Oh...I see."

After hearing what Kal'tsit said, Exiah felt it made sense.

After all, they are partners, so it is reasonable to want to know the other party's situation.

Can understand.

"Fool."

Texas on the side snorted. If the other party just wanted to understand Emiya, then the questions he asked should revolve around Emiya.

But those questions just now were basically just asking for Emiya's opinion!

In addition, since Emiya had suddenly proposed the idea of ​​going to Rhodes Island, Texas was sure that these people were definitely coming for Emiya.

As a result, Angel was fooled so easily, and Croissant hadn't even gotten into the situation yet.

Resisting the urge to take Pocky, Texas narrowed his eyes and looked in Kal'tsit's direction.

The main reason is that this is the meeting room of the Guard Bureau, and food and drinks other than water are prohibited.

She didn't want to be caught and kicked out of the meeting room.

"Um...are you done with the questioning?"

Feeling that something was not right at the scene, Emiya had already started thinking about whether he should leave the meeting room first.

Although it was rude to say this, he always felt that it would be dangerous if he continued to stay here.

"One last question. Are you interested in continuing to cooperate with the Rhodes Island ship in another way? In return, we will provide better medical services to the children you take in."

After a series of assessments and evaluations, Kal'tsit determined that Emiya in front of her indeed met Rhodes Island's cooperation standards.

Or should I say too much?

Rhodes Island is indeed short of talent, but it doesn't accept everyone.

Character and belief are the first requirements. No matter how capable a person is, if he has bad character, they will not recruit him no matter how strong he is.

Their purpose is to improve the living conditions of infected people, not to make them more vulnerable.

But that is a requirement to become a Rhodes Island operator, and you don’t need to care so much about your partner.

Although Kal'tsit offered to strengthen the treatment of those children's oripathy as a condition, the matter was already on the chopping block after the office's equipment was upgraded.

In other words, no matter whether Emiya accepts or rejects the proposal to deepen cooperation, Minmin and the others will still use the best treatment methods in the office to treat the children.

But Emiya didn't know this, so she offered it as a trade-off.

Of course, Rhodes Island would definitely not treat Emiya unfairly, but after the conversation just now and the information obtained previously, Kal'tsit deduced that Emiya was the kind of person who would care about others more than himself.

Altruists... She had met many people, and this kind of people were not uncommon. She knew how to deal with them and negotiate with them.

"Doctor Kelsey..."

After Kal'tsit finished speaking, Amiya behind her pursed her lips and called her name softly.

She was still a little hesitant, but what Dr. Kal'tsit said made sense.

Even if they don't come to Emiya, Emiya will come to them one day.

"Aha! I knew it!"

Then, Angelica pointed at Kal'tsit and said with an expression as if she had seen through it.

As for everyone else?

They were well prepared and rushed forward to carry Emiya to the back, separating him from Kal'tsit and Amiya in the front.

“…Um, it’s not that serious, right?”

Seeing those people guarding Amiya and Kal'tsit as if they were protecting their food, Emiya just found it a little funny.

"You can be hooked by just a few words from others, okay? Don't forget how you came to the Guards Bureau."

Sir Chen on the side added that as she knew why Emiya came to the Imperial Guard Bureau for an internship and later cooperated with the Imperial Guard Bureau, she was very aware of the dirty deal between Emiya and the two people above her.
