About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

"This isn't going to work... Let's put our work aside and catch up together."

After a moment of confrontation, Tallulah made a suggestion.

"Well, that sounds feasible. So, let's put it aside for now—"

"What are you going to put on hold, you two?"

"Wow!!"

A girl's voice suddenly came from behind the two of them, and they were both startled.

"Uh, Natalia... City Lord?"

Frost Star looked at the white-haired Ursus who was standing behind her with a smile on his face, and showed an embarrassed expression.

By the way, as mentioned before, one of the reasons why the two skipped work was that they were scared by Orson’s ability to “pick up girls”.

So the second reason...

The conference room at this time——

"Where are the people!?"

Junjun, holding a file that was almost as tall as himself, placed the document on the table with great effort and then shouted loudly at the empty conference room.

------

"Then this will be the headquarters of the Reunion Movement. Although there are still many imperfections, we will gradually complete it in the future!"

After walking around with Skadi, Orson and Skadi came to the edge of the city. There were only sentry posts around, and no one else was there.

“Moving toward a goal together with my comrades…it’s a great feeling.”

Skadi nodded and continued to rub Orson.

"Right, right~ Come on, is there something you want to talk to me about, Ms. Skadi? There's no one else here, and please don't mind, we're already friends, right? You helped me before at Longmen, so please say puwuwuwu..."

Orson asked Skadi with a smile what was wrong, but halfway through his words, Skadi put her hands on his face and rubbed it.

I don’t know if it was Orson’s straightforward words that made Skadi a little shy, or if it was simply because she was addicted to Chimaera. In any case, it seemed that the little killer whale was no longer satisfied with rubbing her head, and started to rub her face.

"Thank you, Orson."

After the enjoyment, although there was still no change in Skadi's expression, Orson vaguely felt that this killer whale was probably in a much better mood than before.

"As for the reason I'm here, it's actually... related to the ghost shark."

After a brief silence, Skadi finally told Orson the purpose of her visit.

"Ms. Ghost Shark... I don't know what's going on, but I understand. Please leave it to me! We'll go now—"

"Where are you going, Orson~?"

"Whoa whoa!"

"—!"

A gentle and kind voice came from behind the two of them. Orson was so scared that his hair stood on end, and even Skadi trembled inadvertently.

"Ah, Alina...?"

Orsen turned around and found that Miss Yinlu, the chairman of the committee, was standing behind him with a smile on her face.

2. City Lord and Political Commissar, Killer Whale Mascot

In the meeting room of the Integration Movement——

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Well, I feel like the atmosphere is a little off. Let me tell you a crosstalk first—"

"Orson, shut up!"

'Now is not the time'

"What is crosstalk? It's a song from the land."

—Wow…

Sitting in the middle of the conference room, Orson originally wanted to find some reason to liven up the atmosphere and give everyone a job, but his suggestion was refuted by Alina and Zaolu as soon as he said it. Instead, the little killer whale sat next to Orson and rubbed Orson very naturally, while slightly tilting his head to explain what crosstalk was.

Although Orson really wanted to perform the skills he was most proud of in front of Skadi at this time, the current situation did not seem to allow him to hold a crosstalk conference.

After hearing Skadi's invitation, Orson agreed to it without asking what was going on, and was ready to go to Rhodes Island to see if he could help Miss Ghost Shark.

As soon as the two arrived at the port, they were caught red-handed by the political commissar, Johnny Silver Deer. The deer smiled and escorted them to the second conference room. Alina asked them to rest for a while, saying she had some things to deal with. After a while, Alina returned to the conference room with Zaolu, the Streaming Rock Crusher Bear.

It was said that Alina had rushed over during a break after discovering Orson had been "abducted by a strange woman," while Zaolu had just finished dealing with the events of the previous two weeks in Che City, so she had nothing else to do to reunite the movement and visit Orson. Then, she heard Junjun complaining about someone running away. Zaolu, who had a good relationship with Junjun, decided to use her position as the Lord of Che City to enforce justice—commonly known as calling Alina.

After Xiaolu settled Orson and Skadi, he dealt with the two outrageous leaders, the Red Dragon Snow Rabbit. Zaolu, who had learned about Orson's situation from the two and had nothing else to do, followed Alina back to another meeting room where Skadi was settled. In the end, the situation became what it is now.

The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely weird at this time. Zaolu and Alina both wore very standard business smiles, their eyes fixed on the uninvited guest Skadi who suddenly broke in. However, the person involved, Didi, looked indifferent, still happily rubbing Orson with an expressionless face, completely unaware that she had been targeted by the two.

Because Skadi had a blank expression and looked a bit dazed, Zaolu and Alina couldn't figure out what this mysterious deep-sea hunter killer whale was doing. Even if Skadi said, "I'm just here to ruarua Orson," it didn't seem impossible...

"Anyway, welcome to the Reunion base, Ms. Skadi. Due to the special circumstances, we haven't been able to prepare a proper reception for you. I heard about you from Orson before, but before that, could you please let Orson go? He seems to be in some trouble."

It seemed that Skadi was completely unaware of the hints she was giving him, so she had to resort to force. Alina sighed and softly told Skadi, "Orson is very troubled by your rua."

"No, actually... uh, that, it does bother me a little."

When Orson heard Alina's words, he smiled first. He was about to tell Xiaolu not to worry, that he was actually quite comfortable. Skadi's palm was slippery and cool.

However, the moment Orson and Alina met each other's eyes, Orson saw from the deer's eyes the scene of Skynet destroying the earth and himself being pressed into the magma by Alina and won't be back. He swallowed his saliva and said that he was indeed very troubled.

"Is that so? I'm sorry, Orson. I always thought you also liked the feeling of touching each other like this. Maybe this is just Agor's arbitrary decision. Um... I'm sorry."

After hearing from Orson that the other party actually didn't like this, Skadi immediately loosened her hand, showing a somewhat lost expression, and apologized to Orson seriously.

"No, actually I always feel very comfortable!"

Seeing that Skadi looked more lost than expected, Orson grabbed Skadi's hand without thinking and rubbed it on his hair, saying that what he had just said didn't count, and that he felt quite comfortable when she rubbed it.

"Really?"

After hearing Orson's change of heart, Skadi's eyes became brighter than before.

"Really?"

Watching this scene, Alina and Zaolu nearby asked the same question. However, Alina gently retracted her robotic arm, and a laser charging sound emanated from it, capable of piercing even the standard army gunships. Zaolu, beside her, clenched her fists, compressing the air into dry ice. If you dropped a piece of coal into her hands right then, Miss White Bear would likely crush it into a diamond in a matter of seconds.

During this time, Zaolu has been constantly training her physical fitness and her management skills. She is no longer the weak girl who could only run and hide in the face of the army, now racing cars through the town to demolish buildings and piercing the enemy with steam siege spears.

After a period of training, Zaolu is now able to achieve the level of "achieving the same damage with or without a siege spear", which means that firing a shot and throwing the spear can basically easily pierce two walls.

Orson initially suggested that Zaolu exercise, thinking only of letting her learn some self-protection techniques in the face of adverse situations. However, when Zaolu ran over excitedly and threw the spear to the other side of the horizon in front of him, Orson could only wipe the sweat off his face while wondering whether he should not have entrusted the task of "training Zaolu" to the Patriot.

In a nutshell, although the old Patriots no longer strap themselves to spears and use single-person disposable rockets, it seems that their successors have already perfectly taken over the mantle of this aerospace industry...

Of course, in addition to her martial prowess, Zaolu also put a lot of effort into politics. Although Junjun has become extremely reliable due to his intense overtime work in domestic affairs, he himself is a bit socially anxious. In addition, Zaolu is still the legitimate city lord, so Bai Xiong is still responsible for dealing with various occasions and people.

With Miss Black Snake's occasional tutoring, Zaolu was now able to engage in lively conversation with people of all kinds and personalities, and control the flow of conversations at meetings and dinners. She had become a thoroughly qualified ruler.

But Orsen also noticed that when he occasionally used rests, Zaolu would always stare at them in a trance, even with a mysterious blush on her face. Orsen always wondered if Miss Black Snake was telling Zaolu something strange besides teaching...

All in all, Zaolu has changed a lot. This youngest mayor has been constantly moving forward. Everyone praises her as the most responsible mayor so far. However, only Zaolu herself knows that everything she does is not for fame, wealth or power, but for an extremely simple hope: "I can become a person worthy of Orson."

But precisely because of this goal, many people often notice that City Lord Natalia, who has clearly done everything to the best of her ability within her scope, always has a solemn expression on her face.

Although he was moving forward, Orson's pace was even faster... Casimir, Longmen, and even now Xiosta. In just this short period of time, he had accomplished one impossible feat after another, constantly strengthening the power of his team and friends. Even without realizing it, he had secretly connected to a network of connections that belonged only to "Silence."

But even so, Zaolu still didn't give up. She only made herself work harder, because everything was already decided. The moment she truly became a "woman", she would launch the "offensive" she had been preparing for so long against Orsen.

------

Back in the conference room, Zaolu was already "launching an attack (physical threat)" on Orson with her grip strength that could squeeze graphite into diamonds. Orson was trapped between these three people and was in a difficult situation. He could only wipe the sweat off his face while shouting in his heart, "Kamen Rider, save me!"

Fortunately, the sound effect of Alina's laser charging finally subsided. The deer sighed and stopped scaring Orson.

"Ms. Skadi, can I ask you a question? Why do you like Orson so much? From what I know, you're a Rhodes Island operator who prefers to act independently and doesn't have much connection with Orson."

Alina asked Skadi, her actions were indeed a bit too "familiar" from common sense, but the problem was that her personality should not allow her to be "familiar" with anyone.

"The reason is that when I'm with Orson, my body feels very happy, and I even have the urge to dance and sing. And when we touch and interact with each other up close like this, I can feel the nostalgic... warmth from Orson."

Skadi responded almost without thinking. Although her face was expressionless as usual, one could feel that she seemed to be in a very happy mood.

"Hmm...I see."

Alina nodded. Skadi's overly sincere and thoughtless answer made Alina feel the same way.

"That's true. Orson's body is warm, and his reaction when hugged is also very interesting. I understand how you feel, Miss Skadi."

Alina blushed and smiled as she nodded in response.

"Eh?"

Zaolu on the side looked at Alina, staring at the most honest-looking little deer with an incredible look, and made a surprised sound.

"Miss Zaolu is probably not old enough to appreciate this warmth, but... ahem, I still hope you can respect yourself, Ms. Skadi. This is the Reunion's reception room, and the person you are caressing right now is the Reunion's Jixiang... one of our leaders."

"You just wanted to say mascot, didn't you, Alina?"

Alina coughed twice and pretended to be serious, but she almost said something wrong accidentally. Fortunately, she changed her words immediately and ignored Orson's somewhat angry complaints.

"Really... that group of people who came to participate in the recruitment selection before were also like that. Do I really have no dignity at all?"

Orson complained in a low voice, somewhat unhappy.

"That's not true, Orson. To me, you will always be a reassuring, shining presence like a knight, no matter when or where. So please look at me with your chest held high."

Zaolu's voice came out, and Bai Xiong gently encouraged and praised Orson, which made the latter feel a little embarrassed.

"Well, well... there's no need to be so serious..."

Click!

Zaolu's mobile phone captured Orsen's expression as he blushed and rubbed his hair shyly.

"Well, after all, the blushing and shy Orson is the cutest."

"Taking secret photos in this way is too despicable!"

"..."

Skadi looked at how Orson, Alina and Zaolu were getting along with each other, and was a little dazed for a moment.

She recalled her past, the past that could never be returned to, the past when she stood shoulder to shoulder with her "comrades-in-arms".

On the other hand, Skadi was confused about the power structure of this organization called the Integration Movement.

It seemed like everyone had shown a fondness for Orson after seeing him along the way, but this fondness, including Alina's early attitude towards Orson, felt more like "everyone cheering on a mascot" than "admiration for the leader"...

All I can say is that in the Reunion Movement, if something happens, everyone will unconditionally obey Orson's command.

But if there is nothing going on normally, people basically don’t regard Orson as a leader, but as a walking teddy bear.

"Anyway, where are Tallulah and Froststar? Since this is a Reunion meeting, why aren't they here?"

After being angry for a while, Orson returned to his normal self. He looked around the conference room and found no trace of Tallulah and Frost Star.

"Ah, so those two leaders are currently doing what they're supposed to be doing, right? After all, to be a qualified leader, sometimes you have to undergo more rigorous training yourself, right?"

Alina responded with a smile, but when Orson saw that smile, he almost understood instantly that the Snow Rabbit Red Dragon was probably in great danger.

There's a saying in the Reunion Movement that if Miss "Political Commissar" Alina smiles at you, you only need to be prepared for two things.

The first option is to accept the kindness of this little deer, who is gentler than anyone else, respond with a smile, and then accompany Miss Alina to slowly fight against this cold and cruel world.

The second way is to count your sins, think carefully about what you have done during this period, desperately beg the other person to write a will for you, call you, and then prepare to leave this world.

Of course, the second one has been processed a lot in the process of being passed down, but the general meaning is still correct.

It is obvious that Alina's smile at this moment is a "will-making" smile.

Conference Room 1, one kilometer away from Conference Room 2:

"Why has the Yeti Squad been on so many patrols recently... This is too hard to manage..."

"The business contract at Xiosta is too detailed...! Black Snake, Black Snake? Come out to work—"
