I rely on myself

Chapter 814 Reunion after a long absence

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the inspection of the semi-metal mining site. Led by the Asmodeus Chamber of Commerce, the inspection team arrived at the semi-metal mining site and visited the various facilities on site.

On the other hand, the Tekkadan were on guard outside the semi-metal excavation site. Because of Olga's bad premonition, they dispatched a large number of people, including dozens of mobile engineers and even more than a hundred members.

Having said that, the result seems calm.

From the beginning of the inspection until now, there has been no attack, not even passers-by, and the surroundings seem very peaceful, as if no one wants to cause trouble. At least perhaps the nerves of the Tekkadan members who were on alert at the beginning were still tense, but now, because they have been facing the unchanging wilderness for a long time, and the inspection is nearing its end, many people have relaxed.

"Ahhh~~~~ With such a large force, I thought there would be some big battle, but in the end, nothing happened. It's such a waste of my expectations. By the way, how long will it take for the alert to end? I've been on guard for almost a whole day, and I'm almost dying of sleep."

A new member who had obviously just joined the Tekkadan, looked at the unchanging wilderness and his originally tense nerves completely relaxed, and he even felt a little sleepy.

The companion beside him couldn't stand it anymore and quickly reminded him: "Stop it, idiot, we are still on a mission, cheer up, the enemy may be waiting for us to fall asleep and suddenly attack, so cheer up."

"That being said, I have been on guard for a whole day. It would be too much for you to ask me to cheer up. Besides, what you said is just a possibility. Maybe there is no enemy at all, right?"

"……Well……"

It was impossible to refute it. It would be better to say that he actually had the same idea in his mind, but it was his first mission after all, so he wanted to perform better so that the higher-ups in the group would look favorably upon him.

With such a little thought in mind, this person reminded his companions.

The same situation is not uncommon among the people on alert in the surrounding area. These are basically the new members who have just joined. As for those who joined earlier, or even those who have been members of the Tekkadan since its establishment, they are still doing their alert work seriously as always.

Inside the semi-metal mining site, Olga was looking at the scenery outside with a frown on his face. Although there had been no attacks since the inspection began, for some reason, the bad premonition in his heart not only did not disappear, but became even stronger.

This contradictory phenomenon directly led to Olga's frowning look at this moment, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"Olga."

At this moment, a familiar female voice suddenly came from behind, calling his name. Olga immediately turned around and saw that it was Gudelia.

Seeing that the person coming was Gudelia, the tense expression on Olga's face suddenly relaxed, and she smiled and said, "Ah, it's you, Gudelia, long time no see."

"Yes, it's been a while since we last met, Captain Olga."

Looking at Olga, who had matured a lot but still had the same familiar face, Gudelia smiled with genuine joy.

But soon, Gudelia showed a hesitant look on her face. She wanted to speak, but she didn't dare to say it. Seeing her like this, Olga was puzzled at first, but soon he thought of something and said with a smile.

"Unfortunately, Mikazuki is not here. Some time ago, he went to Jupiter with his uncle to bring Barbatos back."

"Is that so?" After hearing this, it would be a lie for Gudelia to say that she had no regrets, but there was nothing she could do about it. However, she soon looked embarrassed and quickly covered up.

"Ah, that's not it. I just haven't seen you for a long time, so I'm so concerned about Mikazuki. There's nothing else to it..."

"I know."

Olga was of course very amused by Kudelia's hurried explanation, and at the same time she was sincerely happy for Mikazuki.

After all, as Mikazuki's brother, Olga was of course sincerely happy to see that Mikazuki was liked by a girl, and a good girl like Kudelia.

However, this matter ultimately depends on the two people involved, so Olga naturally won't say anything too much. Just a little teasing is enough now, and any more would be a bit tactless, so Olga directly changed the subject.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic. What brought you here?"

Hearing Olga's words, Gudelia's originally flustered and shy look immediately subsided, and she asked Olga with a serious look.

"No, the inspection team is going very smoothly and is currently holding their final meeting. I came to you because I wanted to ask if there was anything wrong with you. After all, I noticed that you looked frowned since this morning, so I was a little worried..."

Hearing this, Olga suddenly realized and smiled bitterly: "Is that so? It seems that I am still a little unqualified, since I have made my employer worried or something."

"No, I..."

Gudelia was immediately unhappy when she heard this and wanted to say something, but was quickly stopped by Olga.

"Okay, I know, I was just kidding. If I get depressed so easily, I'd be unworthy of being the leader of the Tekkadan."

"Please don't joke about that, it's not funny."

After confirming again and again that Olga was really just joking, Gudelia breathed a sigh of relief but was still a little annoyed. However, she soon remembered the previous question and asked it again.

Olga no longer concealed this and said frankly that she had a bad premonition before, and now the premonition has not only not disappeared, but has become stronger.

Gudelia did not deny Olga's premonition because she knew how reliable Olga and the others were during the journey to Earth four years ago, so she would not deny it casually.

"...In that case, Olga, have you thought of any problem, or is there anything you overlooked?"

After thinking about it, Gudelia couldn't think of anything, so she just asked Olga if she had overlooked anything, and Olga's answer was.

"No, I've thought of many other options, but none of them worked. So to be honest, I'm starting to wonder if I'm just being overly nervous."
