In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

The sea water began to become agitated, and Hai Si's voice suddenly stopped.

They raised their heads and looked around, whispering constantly.

The dense noise kept surging and they began to feel uneasy.

"Compatriots..."

But even at this point, the Hai Si still tried their best to convey the message to Maria.

"ocean……"

"war……"

"time……"

Sulfone——!

As the last words fell, Maria's vision quickly returned, and everything around her became bright again, but in front of her, the ghost shark had woken up.

"Ok?"

The girl blinked and looked at Maria infatuatedly, but this time, she did not move at all, instead her face was full of confusion.

"Laurentina? Are you awake?"

Looking at the shark girl who had really woken up in front of him, the doctor's expression was also extremely surprised.

She really didn't expect that the other party would wake up at this time.

"Um……"

After hearing the doctor's voice, the ghost shark did not turn around, but simply made a little sound from the tip of its nose, its eyes still staring at Maria.

She remembered the other person.

but……

She doesn't remember anything.

"..."

Maria didn't say much. She just looked at the girl who had just woken up for a few seconds and then nodded to the doctor beside her.

"Then we'll leave first."

The message that Hai Si just conveyed was too obscure... This might be related to their habits, but as a human being, Maria found it difficult to understand what such words meant.

This may require more time and information to think about and analyze.

But just as Maria opened her mouth and before she could take any action, Laurentina's hand suddenly grabbed Maria's fingers for some reason.

An inexplicable touch instantly passed through Maria's body like lightning.

but……

This is different from Lamaren's touch...

"Can you... tell me a story?"

The shark girl spoke, her voice rustling and filled with a hint of reluctance.

Maria looked down at the other person's hand that was tightly holding hers.

Without saying a word…

"..."

……

"I'm really troubling you."

Finally walking out of the ward, the doctor carefully looked at the girl who had fallen asleep again on the bed, then carefully closed the door and let out a long sigh.

Then he apologized to Maria embarrassedly.

Although Laurentina's mental and thinking abilities had been somewhat strange due to many reasons before, overall, she was not a particularly proactive person.

But now, she suddenly asked Maria to tell her a story...

Even as a doctor, this was the first time he encountered such a thing and he was a little overwhelmed.

But fortunately, Maria is quite easy to talk to.

Faced with the girl's pleading voice that sounded like a spoiled child, Maria actually did not leave in the end.

Instead, he asked the doctor to find a storybook and slowly tell it to Laurentina.

Laurentina, who usually looks cold, crazy and fierce, is like a shy little bride in front of Maria. She carefully grabs the bed sheet with her own hands to cover half of her face.

His eyes were fixed on Maria, almost blinking for several minutes.

To be honest, Dr. Zhang also admires Maria's condition.

Anyway, if it was her turn to come, she would be stared at like this, let alone finish the story.

Even just sitting there, she felt uneasy.

It's hard for Maria to finish the whole book without changing her expression.

"It doesn't matter."

Maria didn't really care.

Although both of his meetings with Laurentina were somewhat strange, there were no bad consequences from the two people's interactions.

Apart from the fact that the girl stole Maria's first kiss without any warning... there was nothing else to worry about.

This also led to the fact that Maria was not particularly resistant or dissatisfied with the girl's request.

On the contrary, she actually hoped that the other party could say something... At least Maria was still a little curious about what the other party meant by the word "mother" when he pounced on her when they first met.

But unfortunately, in the end, Laurentina didn't say it.

The doctor shook his head and thought for a while after looking at the late sky outside.

"The Rhodes Island cafeteria should be open for lunch by now... Kal'tsit probably just finished her meeting. If you don't mind, why don't we go get something to eat together?"

As the doctor spoke, he took out his meal card and smiled at Maria.

Although the process was strange and no one could understand it, the fact was that Maria successfully awakened Laurentina and helped Rhodes Island.

She had nothing to offer him in return, so she could only treat him to a meal.

"……Have a meal?"

This familiar yet unfamiliar word made Maria pause for a long time.

Although she no longer needed to eat, but...

"sorry to bother you."

Maria nodded slightly and decided to eat something to satisfy her appetite...

……

The Rhodes Island cafeteria is a relatively important part of Rhodes Island...

Of course, because Rhodes Island itself does not belong to any faction, all they have is their own ship, and every department on it is actually an important component.

As an area designed to ensure that all operators can fill their stomachs, the food here is usually of acceptable taste and the portions are usually very large.

All the people working in Rhodes Island can get a certain amount of money from their ID cards every month that can be used for spending in public institutions in Rhodes Island, but these things can only be spent in Rhodes Island... As for the rest, they still need to buy them with normal money.

This is also why Rhodes Island will trade with local people when it docks on some mobile platforms.

Because not every operator can accept field missions, most of them are just doing sewing and odd jobs.

Now, all the elite operators who were away have returned, so naturally they will get together.

Everyone gathered in the cafeteria, got their meals, and talked and laughed with each other.

Most of them were those who had persevered through the most difficult period in Rhodes Island.

They were also generally aware of several major events leading to the founding of Rhodes Island and had even participated in them.

Even when times were the most difficult, many people left but did not really give up on Rhodes Island.

Rather, they did not want to become a burden to Rhodes Island, so they went out to make a living on their own.

After Rhodes Island survives, they will return to Rhodes Island with all the gains they have made in the past few days.

As such, their relationship is naturally extremely strong.

Among this group of elite operators, only one person remained indifferent.

He was not particularly tall, just barely reaching 1.8 meters, but his body proportions were surprisingly good.

He was wearing a special blue-black costume, and his beautiful face looked almost the same as a girl's.

White hair, blood-red eyes, and small pointed ears hidden in the hair.

It all explains where he's coming from.

Banshee...

He is an extremely rare, even miraculous, male banshee...

The good manners seemed to be ingrained in his bones, and he was impolite in every move he made.

He simply walked to the window, ordered a meal, and then quietly found a seat that was temporarily occupied and sat down.

But he hasn't started eating yet.

On the side, several companions came over curiously.

"There are seats across the street."

Logos spoke, his words calm.

But the two companions were obviously smiling.

They are not asking for a seat just to eat.

"We heard that, Logos..."

A man hooked his arm around L Logos's shoulders with a grin on his face.

"Did your father come to Rhodes Island to see you last time?"

"Father?"

The unfamiliar noun made Logos silent for a while, then he put down the spoon in his hand and looked at his companion beside him strangely.

"Why do you think so?"

"Stop pretending, Logos~"

Another companion grinned, "We all heard that last time in Longmen, you called someone father, right?"

“…It’s true, but that doesn’t mean anything.”

Logos' voice was still as calm as ever, and his words were light and no emotion could be heard.

This attitude also made the two companions who came over out of curiosity a little confused.

After hesitating for a while, the companion who spoke first became a little hesitant.

"You... don't have a good relationship with your father?"

They had just recently returned to Rhodes Island and had been on missions outside, so they had no idea what happened when Logos saw his father in Lungmen.

But according to common sense, normal people should be very happy to see their relatives, right?

Why does Logos look... a little depressing?

"That's not the case."

"Is it because of the family?"

"Mother loved Father deeply... there is no doubt about that."

"Then what's going on?"

The two companions would also be confused.

They really couldn't understand why Logos had such a cold reaction in this situation.

And Logos also sighed slightly after being silent for a long time.
