About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

In fact, Kal'tsit also thought so. She explained to Amiya that she and the Patriots actually didn't have any particularly deep connection, but because she doted on Amiya, she still agreed to her request.

"..."

"..."

"..."

In the room where some vases, snacks and drinks were temporarily placed, Kal'tsit was silently holding the teacup, while Patriot was sitting upright without saying a word.

Amiya, who was sandwiched between the two, looked embarrassed because the two had already talked about some topics before, so there was nothing worth talking about between them during this meeting which was not long.

——What should I do? Did I mess it up...!

Amiya was in tears, the scene was so awkward.

The little rabbit looked around, trying to find some topics that could open up the situation. Coincidentally, her eyes swept across two acquaintances passing by.

"Rosemary, Orson!"

Amiya greeted Orson Rosemary as if she saw a savior.

——If it's Orson, there will definitely be a way! If all else fails, let him tell a crosstalk!

"Amiya? Rosemary and I were about to go study combat footage for PRTS. Something... uh, I remembered I left the door open, so I'm leaving now."

"Don't go, Orson!"

Orson greeted Amiya with a smile, but when he saw Kal'tsit and Patriot in the room, he immediately made up an excuse and prepared to run away.

"Amiya, Dr. Kelsey, and... um?"

Rosemary tilted her head slightly when she saw the Patriot. She didn't seem to have any memory of this huge Sarkaz.

"This is Patriot Senior! Anyway, come sit here for a while. We'll talk about the PRTS simulation training later!"

Amiya patted the chair beside her, and Orson could only walk into the room cautiously as if he was clearing mines in a minefield.

"Dad, did you put your phone on silent again? The shield guards just called me, asking if you used their ID cards to buy discounted vegetables again—huh? There were so many people."

Orson Rosemary had just been tricked over here, and Frost Star also came to find Patriot in the conference room.

"Ahem, Yelena, let's talk about this later."

"It's better not to take advantage of small profits, Dad. A lot of people are complaining about receiving all kinds of weird micro-loan text messages every day..."

Frost Star sighed and sat down next to Patriot. Before he knew it, the conference room was already full of people, and they were sitting in groups of two in a strange way.

Amiya sat next to Kal'tsit, Froststar sat next to Patriot, and Rosemary sat next to Orson.

In this situation, it was hard for Orson not to think of a word: parent-teacher meeting.

"Well... since there are so many people here, let's chat!"

Amiya clasped her hands together in an attempt to liven up the atmosphere.

"Amiya, not everyone has enough topics to talk about when they get together."

Kal'tsit took a sip of tea and said lightly.

"The scars of the past are not something worth savoring over and over again."

The patriot also spoke calmly, and it seemed that neither of them was prepared to continue the conversation.

———30 minutes later————

"Our Amiya was only 14 years old and already capable of leading Rhodes Island. While my teachings were very important, it also had something to do with Amiya being an exceptional heir. In other words, our Amiya is gifted in every aspect."

"By the time my Yelena was 20, she was already able to lead a team on sabotage missions behind enemy lines. Even though I was incredibly worried... Yelena still did a great job! My Yelena is a rare genius, Carters."

"Doctor Kal'tsit...don't, don't say anymore..."

"dad……!"

Patriot and Kal'tsit, who had been silent before, were now talking to each other about how outstanding their daughters were, while Amiya and Froststar, the parties involved, sat together with blushing faces, trying to stop the stupid father/mother from bragging.

"My Rosemary is also very hardworking! Today she was able to control her mind and change the lightbulb by herself! Although it has something to do with my training, Rosemary is still very capable, right, Rosemary?"

When the topic came to this, Orson also started bragging about how cute, hardworking and talented his own Rosemary was.

"Orson...I finally succeeded after crushing over 20 light bulbs..."

Rosemary also blushed and said, "Don't brag."

"But then again, young people these days are getting worse and worse. I've seen many young people show no respect for martial ethics. They take advantage of people's unpreparedness and sneak attack them. They stole the daughter of my 200-year-old comrade. Is that good? It's not good."

"That's right. They're so young, but they can't read the atmosphere. They just mess around and act rashly without thinking things through. The purity of the young people of the recent generation has greatly decreased."

After bragging about their own children, Patriot and Kal'tsit suddenly expressed their feelings about the younger generation, but the words between the lines sounded like they were indirectly criticizing someone else.

"And their physical condition isn't good enough either. In the past, being able to carry a crossbow on one's belly was the minimum requirement for Ursus citizens."

The Patriot looked at Orson.

"He doesn't even understand professional knowledge. His tactical planning is excellent, but his grades in various subjects are not even as good as Huang's."

Kelsey looked at Orson.

Orson stared down at the floor. Although he wanted to refute Kel'tsit, "At least my oral expression score is higher than Huang Maomao's!", even the energy to do so was gone...

"Please stop saying bad things about Orson. Orson has many advantages. I like Orson now!"

Just when Orson was being pointed at by Queen Mother Kai and the deer-headed man, Rosemary stood up.

"rosemary……"

Orson was deeply moved, then he looked at Frost Star who was smiling beside him and swallowed.

——Although I’m touched that you spoke up for me, I always feel like you’re pushing me into the refrigerator…

Orsen was thinking again whether he should buy some hand warmers or something like that in advance.

"That's right, Dad. Don't bully Orson all the time in the future, otherwise I will really be angry."

Fortunately, Frost Star did not drag Orson into the small dark room to play with broken ice, but agreed with Rosemary and spoke for Orson.

"Yes, yes, Orson has tried very hard. Dr. Kelsey, please don't be so harsh!"

Even Amiya asked Kal'tsit to stop persecuting Orson.

"Uh... uh, I get it." "...Okay."

Patriot and Kal'tsit felt as if their daughter was rebelling, so they agreed to their request and stopped persecuting Orson in the future.

Later, Kal'tsit and Patriot talked about parenting again.

"Amiya was even shorter when she was little. One time, she wanted to cook but couldn't reach the stove, so she brought three cardboard boxes. She accidentally fell and nearly burst into tears. Everyone comforted her for a long time. It was really funny back then..."

“Dr. Kal’tsit…!!”

Kal'tsit sighed with relief as she walked on, while Amiya, blushing, kept pinching Kal'tsit's ears to signal her to stop talking.

"Yelena was very stubborn when she was little. She forgot to eat lunch and refused to admit it. Then at night her stomach growled and she went out to look for cabbage—"

"dad!"

The Patriot spoke of Froststar's past with a nostalgic look on his face, while Froststar kept poking the Patriot's head with his staff.

"Rosemary sometimes has a habit of saying 'meow' when she's still half asleep! I never told her because it's so cute. Before, Rosemary was like, 'Pu ...

Orson was halfway through his words when Rosemary, with a flushed face, used her mind's hand to choke him up with the Force.

Later, Patriot and Kal'tsit discussed the past, Kazdel, Ursus, Colombia, and Yan Country.

The other people who didn't understand the topic gathered together to play mahjong. By the time the two people over there had almost finished their conversation, Orson here had lost so much that his underwear was almost taken off.

In this way, the "tea party (parent-teacher meeting)" hosted by Amiya was quite effective. Kal'tsit and the Patriots understood each other's goals and intentions, and clarified some ambiguous parts of the contract between Rhodes Island and the Reunion Movement.

The most important thing is to show off your daughter.

After the tea party, everyone left. Orson was about to send Rosemary away when he was suddenly stopped by the Patriot.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it, Patriot-senpai!"

Orson, who was called, didn't say anything, but just apologized as a patriot.

"Why apologize?"

"Is it because I blocked you in the Reunion Movement chat group (name: A Group of People Who Love Each Other) that you're angry?"

"I didn't mean to question you, but it turns out you blocked me. No wonder there are always so few people trying to get discount coupons. You're doomed, Orson."

"Ahhhh!?"

Orson deeply understood what it meant to "dig one's own grave."

"...But that's not what I'm talking about, Orson. I have something important to tell you."

The Patriot sighed and put away his intimidating aura.

"I was indeed too harsh on you before, Orson. I wasn't ready to entrust Yelena to anyone else. But... in reality, I know very well that Frost Star was able to meet you... no, it's the [Reunion Movement] that met you. This is a [miracle] that I've never experienced in my life."

The patriot took off his helmet, revealing a face that was weathered, tired but unwavering.

"..."

This was the first time Orson saw the Patriot take off his armor, and he knew very well that this meant that the Patriot was extremely serious at this moment.

"Every era must come to an end. I once had a group of brothers. We fought together for Ursus, to protect our motherland from being eroded by the tide of time."

"But it was us, the guardians, who were the first to bow out. My former comrades were devoured one after another. When I finally came to my senses, only an empty shell remained. Like a lonely soul abandoned by time."

"That's when I met Yelena, my everything, my new faith."

"I protect her seriously. I can't protect my family, so I must at least protect this adorable girl."

"Senior Patriot..."

Orson vaguely knew what the Patriot wanted to say.

"Frost Star—I leave it to you, Orson. Although I don't want to admit it, this era is slowly leaving me behind. I must find someone new for her to rely on—and that person is you."

The Patriot nodded to Orson and then replaced his helmet.

A heavy sense of mission instantly clung to Orson. He felt that the patriots' centuries of hardships and hardships were all condensed in Frost Star's body and then passed on to himself.

"I won't let you down, Patriot Senior. But... can you——"

"You're right, my life is coming to an end."

The patriot looked toward the distant horizon, his tone calm and sad.

"About 30... no, 50 years from now, I will return to this land."

"Senior Patriot...wait, how long?"

"About thirty to fifty years."

"I see, the immortality seed is really convenient—in that case, stop creating such a scary atmosphere, just go for the checkup and live a good life—rua!"

Orson was halfway through complaining when the Patriot speared him and sent him flying.

"Although I agree with you reluctantly, I still have to beat you up, Orson."

The patriot rubbed his shoulders and lamented that time is unforgiving.

108. The conflict between Reunion and Rhodes Island!

After yesterday's mysterious parent-teacher meeting, the relationship between Orson and the Patriot has eased a bit. At the same time, due to the complaints from Amiya and Frost Star, there have been fewer incidents of "being suddenly stabbed into the ground by a spear flying from nowhere while walking" and "helping Mon3tr with oral care".

"The simulation training is over, and the results... are perfect. That's amazing, Orson."

In the control center, Rosemary sighed as she recorded the data displayed on the screen not far away.

"That's okay. The real battlefield may not be so ideal."

Orson took off his glasses, unlinked the PRTS system, and glanced at the very familiar task settlement interface.

"But to be able to complete a battle with a team of less than ten people, Orson is truly incredible."

Rosemary did not have a PRTS synchronized perspective. In her eyes, Orson had just perfectly judged the course of the war from beginning to end, deployed the formation with minimal commands, and perfectly defended the position with only a few operators.
