About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

Junjun concealed his figure and observed the port not far away. Perhaps because the surrounding hub towns were being built, Qie City had accepted fewer refugees recently.

And just then, she noticed the short light green hair that was not too conspicuous in the harbor.

"——!?"

It’s her, it’s her…!!

The King Slayer drew the dagger from his waist and rushed towards the figure without any hesitation.

Then it was given away for free.

"Ahem—Gu!"

The moment before the King Slayer touched the woman, a red shadow suddenly appeared from the blind spot and pinned the King Slayer to the ground with almost no effort.

“Uh…Guah, w-what’s going on—!”

The body was resisting the commands issued, resisting any commands to resist the "wolf cub" who was suppressing it at the moment.

It's just like how humans instinctively resist running towards a fire.

"Attacker, Kelsey. Kill or paralyze?"

The woman who suppressed the regicide's bland and brief question.

"No need for that. This is Ursus' territory, and—I understand why she attacked me. You are Ilya's daughter, Lyudmila."

The woman with short light green hair looked at the King Slayer and calmly said his name.

"You traitor...! It's you, it's you who framed my father, it's you who killed all those people!!"

The Kingslayer roared and tried to break free from the shackles, and the woman in red increased her strength, even preparing to remove one of the Kingslayer's arms.

"Traitor? Is this how you define me? Am I a coward who abandoned the lab and fled on my own? Am I an informer who wanted to pocket the profits? Or am I just a fool who was deceived by the Ursus government and betrayed everyone?"

"I don't care who you are...I'm going to kill you!"

"Like when you killed Sergei?"

"—"

"Tell me, did he resist? If not, do you think he received enough repentance before his death? What do you want me to do now, shut up and let you stab the dagger into my heart?"

"I……"

Whether it was his body or the rhythm of his conversation, the King Slayer was completely suppressed by the woman, and at this moment—

"Let Junjun go first, and then talk to me about how to deal with the use of violence in public."

"——!?"

The girl in the red coat widened her eyes, and a chill she had never felt before instantly spread throughout her body.

Orson walked up to the three of them at some point, and behind him were Amiya and her group.

"Hong can't sense this person's breath...especially, no, extremely dangerous--!" The Luper girl in a red coat looked at Orson nervously.

"Doctor Kelsey!?"

Amiya also ran over. She was confused about the current situation for a moment.

"Let her go, Red. She's not a Wolf, right?"

"Hmm... It's not a real wolf, but it has a scent."

The girl named "Hong" let go of Junjun, and the riot was temporarily stopped.

"Are you okay, Junjun?"

Orson checked Junjun's arm with some concern to see if it was injured.

"I'm fine... Compared to those, this guy——Kal'tsit, she's my woof woof!?"

Junjun looked at Kal'tsit with a cold expression, and then suddenly made a cute cry.

"Orson——!?"

Junjun blushed and turned to look at Orson.

"Yeah, yeah, the arms are fine. How about the ears? They're still fluffy as always. The tail needs checking too. Rub, rub, rub, rub, awwww!"

Orson had a good time with Junjun under the pretext of inspection, and then was used as a cat scratching post by Junjun.

Although Junjun used [Random Scratching] on Orson later, the explosive and tense situation was temporarily eased because of Orson's actions.

"Junjun, I know what you are going to say. She is the enemy who killed your father, right?"

After the fun, Orson asked Junjun while putting a bandage on his arm.

"That's right—Kal'tsit, the enemy who betrayed the institute and caused my father's death—!"

Junjun looked at the woman named "Kal'tsit" with short light green hair and wearing something like medical attire, and spoke viciously.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, the enemy you are referring to is...?"

Amiya also looked at Kal'tsit in confusion. She had never heard of this kind of interpersonal relationship.

"Your hair color is exactly the same as your father's. Can you understand the book 'Justice and Justice' now?"

"you--"

Kal'tsit did not respond to Junjun, and continued to speak in her own calm pace, and the honest Junjun was speechless again.

If it were Kira Yoshikage, he would say, "Don't answer questions with questions!"

If it were Cruze, he would say at this time, "Who understands what you are saying?"

But Junjun is stupid, so he can only suffer the consequences.

"That's enough, Junjun. Is she really your enemy? We'll have time to confirm this later, and I promise you—if she's involved in your father's death, then I will help you avenge her."

Orson interrupted the conversation.

"..."

Everyone on Rhodes Island and Kal'tsit fell silent for a moment. The oppressive feeling this young man felt at that moment certainly matched the information given by the Tuner.

Thanks to the incident where Junjun was suppressed by Red just now, Orson was no longer so "happy" about Kal'tsit.

After all, the other party at this time is not his "wife" or "ex-wife", but a terrifying lynx who knows what he is thinking and may use him as a pawn.

"So, you are Dr. Kal'tsit. You guys at Rhodes Island have something related to the sarcophagus that you want to investigate, right?"

Orson looked at Kal'tsit, who did not evade his gaze and took the initiative to move towards Orson.

"Yes, to be more precise—I'm investigating you, Orson."

"I……?"

While the two were confronting each other, Tallulah, who had just finished her meeting and was rushing towards this side, also arrived at the port.

"Orson, the Rhodes Island member you mentioned earlier—Ehhhhhhhh!!"

Talulah had just arrived at the port, and then she saw Orson, who looked confused, the people of Rhodes Island, who also looked confused, and Junjun, who also looked confused, standing at the edge of the port.

And - Kal'tsit used a scalpel to cut open Orson's clothes, then reached out to touch his skin, and put her head close to Orson's neck. Her posture was 1000% terrible.

Damn, someone comes to steal my house again! ?

78. Is this lynx in heat?

"What are you doing--?"

After a brief moment of confusion and stagnation, Tallulah immediately moved closer to Orson and Kal'tsit.

On the one hand, Kal'tsit's overly abnormal behavior, including the unique killer aura emitted by Red next to her, made Tallulah take these invaders seriously.

On the other hand, the posture of these two people is really too indecent! What are they doing in broad daylight?

Perhaps because Tallulah's "aura" seemed too oppressive, ACE and Lin Guang even took a posture ready for battle.

But the battle did not start, and Kal'tsit's voice interrupted Tallulah and the people of Rhodes Island.

"—Why are you infected?"

"……what?"

Kal'tsit withdrew her body from the Originium crystals on Orson's shoulders and neck, and looked expressionlessly at her palm that had just touched Orson's skin and the Originium crystals on the skin surface.

"Are you scared because you touched someone infected, young lady?"

Tallulah walked to Orson and took on the attitude of a leader, questioning Kal'tsit's recent actions.

Because Kal'tsit was wearing a shawl at the time, she did not reveal that she was infected.

"..."

Kel'tsit didn't respond to Tallulah. She seemed to be thinking about something. After a few seconds of silence, she returned her gaze to Orson's cheek.

"You have the authority to activate the sarcophagus, right?"

"Uh, I'm not sure. It seems like that was indeed the case at the time...?"

Orson was still a little dazed. After all, his clothes had just been violently ripped off by Kal'tsit and she was touching him all over. Although he knew that the other party was just diagnosing whether he had oripathy or a serious condition, Orson still couldn't stand it.

"I understand the general situation. I apologize for my actions just now. The development of the incident is greater than the three blueprint deviation values I set. I had to take this action to get the answer as quickly as possible."

Kal'tsit apologized in a flat tone, and there was no sense of apology in her tone at all.

"But I still don't quite understand, Orson, and—Dr. Kel'tsit, right? Could you please take the time to explain what's going on? I don't want Orson, one of the leaders of the Reunion Movement, to be dragged into some strange organization or incident while I'm arguing with the new nobles."

As Tallulah spoke, she reached out and pulled Orson to her side, using this small gesture to declare that she was the one in charge of this area.

As for Orson, his face was filled with joy, pretending that he was not burned by Tallulah's wrist which was burning for some reason.

"Don't worry, I'll take some time to explain the current situation to you, Duke Tallulah. For now, Rhodes Island doesn't have any conflict of interest with Che City, and we share the same aspirations in many areas."

"—You know me? A doctor from Rhode Island."

"This is just a necessary preparation. But it's obvious that my preparation still has many omissions." Kal'tsit said as she looked at the King Slayer beside her.

“Kal’tsit…!”

Junjun frowned and gritted his teeth as he stared at the "enemy who murdered his father". This action also made Hong beside him take a stance.

The lynx remained calm, which made Tallulah sigh. It seemed that the other party might be a similar type of guy to Kosice.

"Anyway, let's talk later. Chernobog needs Rhodes Island's assistance as a healer of oripathy. Lord Rostova has approved the docking of the Rhodes Island ship."

Because Orson had previously mentioned bits and pieces of information about Rhodes Island's "pharmaceutical company," Talulah wasn't particularly wary of Amiya and her group.

The only thing he was extremely wary of was Kal'tsit, the green cat head that appeared out of nowhere.

Should it be a woman's intuition or a similar feeling between the other party and Kosciuszko? Talulah always feels that Kal'tsit is a difficult enemy to deal with.

The most important thing is that Feilin, who always has a calm expression no matter who he looks at, has some fluctuations only when his eyes are focused on Orson.

"Thank you, City Lord, for the permission. Rhodes Island is a professional medical company specializing in the treatment and sheltering of infected individuals. We will be responsible for handling any incidents related to the infected in Che City. Specific support includes, but is not limited to, missions for Rhodes Island operators, medical supplies, and related follow-up. In return, we hope that you can grant Rhodes Island the authority to investigate the sarcophagus, as agreed, and the freedom to act within the legal framework."

Kal'tsit read out the verbal cooperation agreement as usual, while Tallulah frowned.

"Isn't Rhodes Island disguised as a pharmaceutical company's material processing line/mercenary dispatch/996 blessing factory?"

"—"

Kal'tsit was stunned for a moment.

"Although I don't care about rumors, Duke Tallulah, how did you learn about these rumors?"

"Orson told me."

"...Uh, I heard it on the TV commercials."

Orson on the side made a slightly embarrassed sound, and at the same time received a new CG portrait of Queen Kai: It was a bit like being glanced at by someone with a dirty look.

"I hope our subsequent cooperation will dispel your initial impressions. So, Amiya, Ace, Lin Guang, Scout, and Red, return to Rhodes Island and standby. Notify the medical department to prepare for the mission."

"Kal'tsit, don't you need guards? That fake wolf is still angry."

Hong asked Kal'tsit with some concern whether this choice was a bit reckless.

"I don't need a guard, Red. As for Lyudmila—I knew this day would come when I sent you to Syracuse."

“Syracuse—what? You were the one who sent me to Syracuse…!?”
