About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

"Yeah, after all, as a target, it's easy to get."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...!"

Maria angrily retracted her head, while Platinum smiled as if he had succeeded in his mischief.

"Don't play a prank on Maria, she's serious. And compared to that, how are your legs?"

Orson walked up to Platinum and asked about his condition. Platinum, who was mocking Maria a second ago, suddenly felt his cheeks getting slightly hot.

"It's... okay. The lynx said there won't be any sequelae."

Bai Jin turned her head away and didn't look at Orson. She didn't know why, but when she didn't have any clear "feelings" for Orson, she could still make fun of Orson like she did when she met Frost Star before.

But now that I have clearly developed a liking for this little infected knight, I don't even have the courage to play pranks on him like I used to. It's really strange.

Not only that, but Orson didn't ask about Maria's injury first, but came to ask about himself. This trivial matter also made Bai Jin a little mysteriously happy.

"Maria, let me say this again. Don't take risks like this again. I just went to see Dr. Kel'tsit to inquire about the situation. Fortunately, the Corrupted Knight withdrew his Originium Technique early on, so your internal organs didn't suffer too much damage. You should be able to heal by tomorrow. But promise me, don't take risks like this again, okay?"

"……Um."

Orson lifted Maria's blanket and spoke softly and concernedly to the little pony, and Maria nodded shyly.

——But then again, the potion that the Corruption Knight injected into Withering should be the potion I gave him back then. It seems that they are also fighting against the Commercial Association in their own way... It hurts!

Orson, who was thinking about something, was suddenly kicked in the butt by Platinum with his uninjured leg.

"Ms. Shiro-Miss Platinum...?"

"Fool!"

After Bai Jin kicked Orson, he turned his back and ignored him.

"...?"

Orson rubbed his butt, looking confused.

"Aha……"

As a bystander not far away, Sofia, who had basically sorted out her interpersonal relationships, sighed at the scene before her.

If we were to say what advantage Maria has over Platinum in the bed next to her, it would probably be that she is "as stupid as Orson."

"You've got a rough road ahead, Maria. Anyway—I haven't seen you for a day or two, so let me give you a good rubdown!"

“Meow!?”

Rosemary, who was changing the potion nearby, was suddenly picked up by Zofia and rubbed hard.

——By the way, Rosemary seemed to have expressed her love for Orson before?

Zofia rubbed Rosemary in her arms, and suddenly remembered that Rosemary and Maria had been fighting for the right to use Orson in the mixed doubles a few days ago.

Could it be that Kitty Cat really has bad intentions...?

"Sister Zofia?"

Rosemary seemed to notice Zofia's confusion and she blinked and asked.

"it's okay no problem!"

Seeing Rosemary's look, Zofia instantly threw away the confusion in her mind. What bad intentions could a little cat have!

------

After briefly visiting Maria and Platinum, and confirming that the "Knight & Knight Slayer" pair of enemies did not get along well, Orson found Kal'tsit who was working in the office.

"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Kal'tsit. By the way, when did you set up this temporary base here?"

"Just a precaution. It's just a habit I had back when I was just starting out in Rhodes Island—stretch out your arms."

After noticing Orson's arrival, Kal'tsit put down the documents in her hand and motioned for Orson to sit in front of her.

"That time must have been very difficult... If I had only been able to contact you earlier—Aaaaaaaaaa!?!"

Orson cried out in pain before he could finish his words. Kal'tsit grabbed Orson's arm, forcibly rolled up his sleeve, and injected a special anti-inflammatory drug into the wrist that had been injured due to prolonged use of FEVER.

"There's no need to talk about what's already happened. Besides, you were probably just a kid back then. Look up."

After treating his hands, Kal'tsit gestured to Orson to raise his head, and she walked to Orson, stood up and treated the scar on his forehead.

"Well……"

Looking at Kal'tsit's breasts in front of him, which he could touch if he leaned forward slightly, Orson closed his eyes obediently.

I don't know what this female science doctor's dressing sense is, but putting a layer of plastic cover on the chest area, this meaningless decoration will only make people involuntarily focus on Kal'tsit's breasts, which are neither too big nor too small, and can be held in one hand.

Kal'tsit seemed unaware that the 'plastic protective shield' on her chest was already covered with steam from Orson's breath. While she was talking about her own experience, she was concentrating on treating Orson's wounds.

"The Chamber of Commerce's chief leader, Code, contacted me earlier. The good news is that Rhodes Island hasn't been exposed yet, but the bad news is that our efforts to rescue the infected have been discovered. We may not be able to continue helping those infected in the underground arena. I saw the intelligence you sent me earlier, and we can't save that many infected people on our own."

"I know. I've been completely targeted, but it's not a big deal. Now it's just the Business Association that wants to get rid of me, but they have no reason to manipulate Casimir's official statement to put pressure on me—it hurts."

Orson took a breath and opened his eyes and moved forward, which happened to cause his face to collide with Kal'tsit.

"Ugh!?"

Kal'tsit, whose chest was rubbed, made a seemingly cute sound for a moment, but Queen Mother Kai was a person who had experienced many ups and downs after all. She immediately stabilized her emotions and then said to Orson very kindly:

"If you move again I'll tie you up with mon3tr."

“No, no, no, I don’t dare…!”

Outstanding effect.

"Anyway, if my guess is correct, in a few days, when Senior Patriot and I fight again, the Chamber of Commerce will make a big move."

"In that case, what are you going to do?"

After stitching the wound, Kal'tsit returned to her chair and put on her white coat, intentionally or unintentionally, to cover her delicately dressed chest.

"Let's go with the flow. This is a good opportunity. Rhodes Island can just continue to 'kill' the Reunion Movement—provided there's no actual fighting..."

"How can it be."

Kal'tsit complained lightly, but then she thought about the time when they had been working together. It seemed that she and several operators had "fought" with Tallulah and others from the Reunion Movement quite a few times.

"So, what is your relationship with that platinum?"

After confirming that Orson had no other injuries, Kal'tsit asked Orson about the issue of death that Maria and Zofia had asked.

"So we're just colleagues... I guess."

Halfway through his speech, Orson himself felt a little lacking in confidence.

No matter how stupid he is, Orson can still feel what the girls around him think of him.

If it was at the beginning, it would be okay to describe the relationship between the two as "colleagues" or "being caught and exploited unilaterally".

But after experiencing the Qingjin Daiwei incident, Orson was certain that Baijin almost lost his life in order to help him, which was definitely not something that could be summarized by the word "colleague".

Of course, understanding is one thing, but in order to avoid losing his life, Orson certainly cannot tell Kal'tsit directly that "Platinum likes me".

"Ha... never mind. Our work in Casimir is almost coming to an end. You shouldn't be able to do anything weird in such a short time."

Kal'tsit sighed and said, at the same time Orson's phone suddenly rang.

"Hello--"

"Is that you, the cute and handsome little knight? Do you still remember me~"

A somewhat timid female voice came from the other end of the phone. Upon hearing this, the green cat head immediately entered standby hunting mode.

"Is that Miss Li? Wait, wait a minute, I'm not very convenient right now——"

"Ever since we met, I've missed you so much~ Have you thought about me? Hehe... Anyway, please come to our house this afternoon. Our master also wants to see you. By the way, do you want to eat first, take a shower first, or... eat me first~?"

Click.

The phone call was hung up, leaving Orson and Kal'tsit staring at each other.

After a brief moment of silence——

"Eat you first, Orson. Come out, mon3tr."

"Wait, wait a minute, Dr. Kal'tsit! I, I, I really can't figure out anything!!"

Perhaps because it has been a long time since he last played Orson, mon3tr seemed to be working particularly hard this time.

81. The precious video of Sister Shi Le taming Orson

"A gas leak occurred in a suburban building, and the number of casualties is being counted. Rhodes Island's civilian Sanity Restoration Potion was released on the market in limited quantities yesterday, and major companies snapped it up. The Sangster family's chief knight is still missing—"

On Casimir Street, Orson did not make any disguise at this time. He just walked on the street carelessly while reading the newspaper on his mobile phone.

Whether it was the Integration Movement or the Business Association, the conflict between the two forces could no longer be avoided. And with the previous arrangements, there was little they could do at this stage. So, they might as well just lay it out in the open.

"As of last week, the revenue generated by this year's knight competition was the lowest ever. Scholars believe this is closely related to the recent uproar over the "questioning of chivalry." The previous battle between the Corrupted and Withered Knights and Maria Linguang, through the actions of the Corrupted Knights, has caused more viewers to question whether they've abandoned the more important ancient spirit for the sake of so-called 'novelty seeking'."

——Although it’s not obvious along the way, looking back, what we have done has gradually changed some things.

Orson thought so as he read the news. Just like when they were in Chernobyl in the north, Orson and his team did not directly change anything important, but still relied on step-by-step accumulation to achieve unknown changes.

The situation in Casimir has gradually cooled down from the numb enthusiasm, and more and more people are paying attention to the problems of the Commercial Association and the "present-day" knight class.

But unlike the time in Ursus, this time his camp did not have an heir with a "formal identity" like Zaolu, and everyone had no blood connection with this land.

In other words, as outsiders, Rhodes Island and the Reunion Movement cannot interfere too deeply in the problems of Casimir. The future of this former capital of knights can only be determined by them.

"I believe everyone can choose a more correct path - what do you think?"

Orson stopped and turned to look behind him. Five or six assassins slowly walked out from both sides of the sparsely populated street.

"kill him."

The leader had no intention of talking to Orson, their goal was very clear.

"I thought that after the Wuzhou League's headquarters was destroyed by their own boss, the Commercial Union would not be able to provide extra assassins for a while. It seems that there is no such good thing after all."

Orson slowly summoned the Rest and took off the Scarlet Queen from his waist.

If there was one 'good thing' that happened now, it was probably that he had been completely targeted by the Chamber of Commerce and some members of the Supervisory Institute. He no longer had to hide his identity like before, using unfamiliar weapons or even wearing women's clothing in a fight.

——Six enemies, no problem... Wait, there's another aura?

Orson took a stance and sensed the ambushing enemies around him, when he suddenly sensed another more hidden aura.

Before he could determine the man's position, a killer who was about to attack him in the far corner was suddenly knocked to the ground.

"The master asked me to receive the guests, but I didn't expect there would be so many of them. No one without an invitation can enter, okay? Hehe..."

A pink-haired Zarak girl slowly walked out from the shadows, the double swords in her hands continued to knock down the enemies who rushed towards her.

"Miss Li?"

Orson recognized the most hidden 'uninvited guest' - Casimir's fourth-level knight, Li.

"Hehe... You really are popular, little knight~"

While Li cleanly and neatly knocked down the assassins who were chasing Orson, he walked towards Orson with a smile, the two swords in his hands stained with blood flashing with cold light.

——This feeling…!

Watching Li slowly approaching him, Orson, who had originally let down his guard, suddenly felt his hair stand on end.

No... I can't let her get close to me anymore, otherwise, otherwise she will definitely -

"Long time no see! Let me rub against you~~~"

"Sister Shi Le, don't want it!?"

A moment of hesitation prevented Orson from escaping the disaster. Knight Zarak came to Orson at lightning speed, pounced on him with both hands and started shouting "Yoshi Yoshi Yoshi Yoshi".

This is outrageous! I'm the leader of the Reunion Movement, the boss of Rhodes Island, the captain of the Rostov family security team, and the steward of the Linguang family. How could I be rubbed by this Zalak girl who's not even as tall as me?

It's always been Orson who gets to rub others (Rosemary only), and no one else gets to rub me! (But I can be lifted up by Patriot, chewed by Mon3tr, sharpened by Lynx, practiced ice sculpture with Snow Rabbit, learned barbecue from Tallulah, etc.)

"Miss Li, I'm seriously warning you. Please respect yourself. Even I would... It's unexpectedly comfortable..."

The strong-willed Orson was halfway through his words when Li found out his secret. Perhaps it was because he was previously trained by Maria and Rosemary, but Orson, who was not a Film Clan member, also particularly liked to have his chin and belly rubbed.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, little knight, you've become more and more adorable. It's a pity that now isn't the time to mess around, otherwise I'd really like to see you lying on the ground with your belly exposed. Oops, sorry, isn't it a bit rude to be so blunt?"

After stroking Orson for a while, Li stopped with a smile. On the contrary, Orson showed an expression of wanting more because of Li's sudden stop.

It seems that every time I meet Li, I will be defeated at the speed of light. Is it because of bloodline suppression?
