Rhode Island Park Project

However, even if that situation really happens, we can wait until later. Now is not the time to consider these issues.

"Kelsey sent me a text message, didn't she?"

Leaning against his arm and the guardrail, Alina's profile illuminated by the faint fluorescent light of the screen, she looked up with a faint smile:

"Not to mention the party's protagonist's disappearance, the deck isn't exactly a safe place. As the commander of Rhodes Island, someone should be more aware of the situation."

Luo Hang raised his eyebrows.

"Then why didn't she come to me herself and tell me that she wanted to send you a message?"

"Do you really want to ask me this question?"

The girl had a soft smile on her face and tilted her head slightly as she looked at him.

It seems like he knows everything, and yet it seems like he knows nothing.

"cough,"

He put the wine glass in his hand to Alina's lips, simply and directly temporarily sealing the girl's ability to speak. Or rather, the girl chose to accept the seal herself as she looked at him with a smile and then took a sip of the wine.

Then, he raised his hand excitedly and tapped the terminal screen that Alina was holding in both hands.

"Tell Kel'tsit that I'm receiving counseling as scheduled today. If it's not something important, come back tomorrow."

'Psychological counseling?'

The girl, swallowing the wine slowly, looked at him and blinked her beautiful eyes that reflected the starry sky, conveying this question.

"Anyway, just reply to her like this."

Luo Hang smiled and stretched out a finger to tap on the screen.

Although it was a bit funny, Alina, who was holding the terminal, still cooperated by moving her thumb on the keyboard on the other side of the screen. The two fingers of the two people entered text on the screen and finally sent it out smoothly.

"tomorrow."

After receiving the message, Kal'tsit simply repeated this key word expressionlessly.

***

early morning.

The bright morning light shines into the house from the window, and the cool morning air and rich musk float in the quiet room.

He opened his eyes drowsily from his sleep and climbed out of the bed.

"Um..."

The girl, wrapped in a warm blanket and with her head buried deep in the pillow, mumbled sleepily with her eyes closed.

The few remaining sleepiness was quickly dispelled by the abundant energy from a year of sleep. He smiled and leaned over to kiss the girl on the cheek.

"This morning is your leisure time. Don't worry. I'll bring you breakfast later."

There was a lively banquet the night before, so naturally there was no rush the next morning, and it was estimated that many people slept in.

"Guh."

The girl mumbled something vaguely in response, then seemed to remember something and muttered in a dream with her eyes closed, "Don't step on the clothes."

He couldn't help but laugh.

"it is good."

He moved out of the quilt and sat on the edge of the bed. After covering the girl with the quilt again, he picked up some of the clothes scattered on the floor, then stood up in his slippers and walked towards the wardrobe in the room.

"My clothes are still here! I was worried they might get moldy, but now they're practically smelling like girls."

The open wardrobe was filled with neatly folded and hung clothes. Apart from the girls' various clothes, including socks, his clothes were still placed in the familiar place, as if he had left yesterday.

However, when he picked up his clothes and sniffed them, Luo Hang couldn't help but look helpless.

If you wear this outfit outside, it may not look like anything from a distance, but you can smell the odor if you get closer, right?

After all, it's been sitting in a wardrobe full of girly things for a whole year.

"I take it out to dry and clean it regularly."

Alina, wrapped in a blanket, had turned sideways at some point, her sparkling eyes gazing at him. "After all, it would be truly pitiful if our doctor finally returned home with no clothes to change into."

As Alina said this, a slight smile appeared on her face exposed outside the quilt.

"Ha, then it seems I have no choice but to wear these clothes."

He smiled as he put on the clothes that seemed to bring warmth, and winked teasingly at Alina on the bed, "But when you were alone, did you ever use my clothes?"

Have you used it?

"Well--"

The girl's cheeks turned slightly red. Luo Hang changed the subject and joked with the girl while he put on his clothes and opened the door.

After saying goodbye to Alina who was still lying on the bed, before he closed the door, the girl's light voice slipped through the crack of the door.

“It’s used occasionally.”

What?

Unable to get back to the previous topic immediately, Luo Hang was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was answering the only topic that had been skipped, and his heart suddenly jumped uncontrollably.

Wow, I'm hooked!

Chapter 21: Don't Come Near My Beatrix

"It seems the psychological treatment you received last night was effective."

The cold Kal'tsit stood in front of him, but this still did not interrupt the light tune he was humming.

"Of course. If it hadn't worked, there would have been no point in making an appointment, right?"

He took out his terminal and dialed a special number. While waiting for the call to be processed, he continued to look at Kal'tsit in front of him with a teasing look.

"If you, Kal'tsit, care about the medical results, then I'll make an appointment with you for my next mental health appointment?"

"..."

As if she hadn't noticed the ambiguity in the words, Kel'tsit's expression and tone remained quite cold. "If you have such plans, I will formulate a comprehensive medical plan in advance."

It's really not unexpected.

He curled the corners of his mouth indifferently.

However, theoretically, this should have been a normal conversation that had happened many times between him and Kel'tsit. The only problem was—

Now, looking at the '?√' sign in front of him, and facing the cold and unapproachable Kal'tsit, he always felt a special and subtle feeling.

It's a pity that he just woke up after sleeping for a year and he still has a lot of things to deal with, otherwise he would really like to give it a try.

He opened his mouth to continue speaking, but he heard the sound of the communication being connected.

A deep, powerful voice with a distinct Victorian accent came through the communication.

"The phone rang at almost the exact same time you told me."

He curled the corners of his mouth.

"After all, I always plan things."

"Hmph. Victoria is already in chaos. If you hadn't told me beforehand, who would have thought that a group of foreign Sarkaz could occupy Londinium, where Victoria has always stood."

"So have you made a decision, old man? Your current condition doesn't sound like you can only survive."

"Don't call me that. I don't believe you're really as young as your face."

The other party paused. "None of us can forget what happened between Edward and Tallulah. If you can guarantee Tallulah's safety and teach that vicious snake a lesson for me, I will agree to your proposal."

"Oh, so we just wait to see Victoria then?"

"Humph."

He smiled slightly and was about to hang up when a voice came from the other end:

"Also, don't come near my Beatrix!"

Ah, I’m dead.

Under Kal'tsit's gaze, he put the terminal back into his jacket pocket and explained:

"Adams Swire, we went through Caldershire when we went to Victoria."

He inexplicably felt the urge to report his whereabouts to his wife at home.

"When Duke Shi Huaiya was critically ill, Victoria had almost forgotten the once fierce tiger. Calder County, having lost its leadership, also chose to protect itself amid Victoria's chaos, and its reputation remained obscure."

Kal'tsit narrated calmly.

He shook off the strange illusion in his head and answered casually:

"So I helped the old man. After all, Tallulah and I have a pretty good relationship. We're all acquaintances, so I couldn't just stand by and watch."

Tallulah's father, Edward Atelias, the last descendant of the legitimate heir to the Drake royal family of Victoria, escaped from Victoria to Lungmen with the help of the Shiweiya family represented by Adams.

The Tallulah sisters and Adams' granddaughter Beatrix played together since childhood and had a very close relationship.

As for whether the reasons Luo Hang gave were really all because of this, Kal'tsit did not comment, but only mentioned another matter.

"It seems our original plan is no longer useful."

"what's the plan?"

“Scrap recycling.”

"You really thought of that, didn't you?"

Kelsey didn't say anything.

Having a Grand Duke willing to provide them with channels and routes is naturally much easier than for them to deal with insurance on their own.

Of course, the premise is that they can solve the current troubles.

However, after taking a look at Luo Hang's relaxed expression beside her, she gave up the idea of ​​giving him too many reminders.

The girl in silver film, who seemed to be waiting in front of the door, had appeared in their sight.

"Okay, I still have to check on Rosemary. I'll see you later."

Luo Hang waved at her.

"Ah."

……

"Hey, is the doctor still a doctor?"

"Where are the doctor and the doctor?"

In the Rhodes Island cafeteria, Luo Hang, who was taking Rosemary out to buy snacks after her physical examination, happened to run into a few high school girls.

"The doctor is very good."

The petite girl with silvery white hair, who was standing almost right next to Luo Hang, said this with a charming smile on her face.

"I agree with that."

Sonya muttered after changing her clothes.

"Is it because of that device?"

Natalia looked at Rosemary's delicate neck.

From the loose collar of her coat, it is not difficult to notice the sci-fi silver-white semi-circular device on the back of the girl's neck.

"External Neural Network Type II can be used to store memories. Wearing it will give you a photographic memory, right? Want to try it?"

Luo Hang was joking.

"Is this kind of thing even possible?!"
