Skadi, returning to infinity

Standing up with her coffee in hand, Kal'tsit walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass window and looked out at the bridge, a faint thought flashing in her eyes.

She's back.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, the things the PhD will have to do after returning will change a lot.

only...

"never mind.

He let go of the scene from the photograph that appeared in his mind.

In any case, at least the Doctor is back, and Rhodes Island has a pillar of support again.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, you've been working for fourteen hours straight today."

“Even if the doctor isn’t here, you can’t numb yourself with such intense work.”

"Besides, Rhodes Island is fine right now, so you can go and rest."

Footsteps came from behind, followed by Precys's voice.

"Prismus, why aren't you resting again?"

Looking back at her, Kal'tsit asked a question.

"The Hai Si are making moves, and I'm worried about the situation on the island."

Precys stood beside Kal'tsit, his hands in the pockets of his long robe, looking ahead with a slightly dazed tone.

"She's back."

Kal'tsit said softly.

Has the Doctor returned?

Why didn't I receive any news?

Precys was taken aback at first, then realized who Kal'tsit was referring to as "she".

"I should have given it to you."

"You weren't at the computer or looking at your phone just now, were you?"

Kal'tsit asked a question.

"Um....

Precys then took out his phone and looked at [Tai Xu], then let out a sigh of relief.

"She's back, so there's nothing to worry about on the island."

If the Sea Kings really revolt, as long as Skadi is still alive, then Rhodes Island really doesn't need to worry too much.

"What? Aren't you comfortable with the forces on the island?"

"Rhodes Island might not be as safe as there."

When Kal'tsit saw her like that, she laughed.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, it's not so much that I'm worried, but that you are."

Precys's words made Kal'tsit's smile vanish.

"What am I worried about?"

He turned his head away, refusing to look at her.

"Only Dr. Kal'tsit knows the answer to this question."

Precyth laughed heartily, and only Kal'tsit could understand the meaning behind her words.

"Humph."

With a snort, Dr. Kal'tsit didn't answer, but simply turned around, picked up her coffee cup, and left the office.

"Sometimes, facing your own feelings is a difficult thing."

Precys watched her retreating figure and took a deep breath.

It's unclear whether she was referring to herself or Kal'tsit when she said that.

Or it could be both.

PS: Note ①

In the official settings, Nightingale's two data points are: [Somatic cell fusion rate with Originium] 9% & [Blood Originium crystal density] 0.41u/L.

However, it is unclear when this data was generated, so we have shifted the timeline forward and reduced the amount.

Note ②

In the official information that can be found, Charmander has the highest stats.

However, Charmander has not yet joined Rhodes Island for treatment, so Nightingale is the highest rank.

Amiya was taller than Nightingale three years later, but that was three years ago.

There may be other high-scoring specimens than Nightingale, but they haven't been officially announced, so we won't worry about them for now.

Chapter Seven: If I could stay with Your Highness, that would be good too.

After finishing what I didn't know was either dinner or breakfast, I checked the time and it was already past five o'clock.

Skadi only rested for a short while before leaving her house and using her willpower to build several new small villas next to it.

Then, based on what Rize and the others said about her preferred style, she modified it, adding various pieces of furniture and functional rooms.

By the time it was finished, the sun had already risen from the eastern horizon.

Looking at the bright sun, everyone except for Kibu and Muzan, who frowned and hid behind their villa rooms, faced the rising sun and seemed to be enjoying it.

"Wow, the sea breeze here feels so good."

I closed my eyes, enjoying the sea breeze, my long hair swaying gently in the breeze.

Rize Kamishiro seemed to be enjoying herself, showing no signs of being a ghoul at all.

"You'll be living here from now on?"

After enjoying herself for a while, Rize Kamishiro looked at Skadi and asked curiously.

"No, we have a land battleship, the Rhodes Island."

"Here, the only time you encounter evil god followers and sea creatures is when you go out to sea."

"Nothing much happens at other times."

"If you want to fight and get missions, the Rhodes Island is a better fit."

"Unless you are willing to fight them on the home turf of the Haisi and the followers of the evil gods."

"Even I wouldn't really want to do something like that."

"Moreover, with the fleet in hand, ordinary sea creatures and believers of evil gods are no longer of any importance."

"They are basically used for training the ship girls and don't pose much of a threat to us."

At first, I was really annoyed by them. They would come every few days and each time would last for several days.

While it did provide a training ground for the members of Babel, it also significantly hampered Skadi's island development plans.

The impact of this slowed down the pace.

Fortunately, once the harbor was built and warships were constructed on a large scale, these attacks by the sea monsters were gradually repelled.

After all, modern warships with firepower are still very effective against these purely physical beings; their mental attacks are ineffective against intelligent systems that are completely unmanned.

As far as warships are concerned, they have absolutely no deterrent effect.

Under the massive firepower suppression from behind the fleet formation, Haizi's offensive was slowed down considerably.

After the emergence of ship girls, these "humanoid weapons" that are not only flexible but also have combat firepower no less than that of warships are simply a major headache for those sea monsters. Although ship girls are also living beings, they are still immune to mental attacks.

The temptation of the evil god is just gibberish to the ship girls; it won't affect them at all.

That's why the islands are very safe now, and marine life has not affected them for a long time.

Of course, there were also powerful sea creatures or followers of evil gods who came to cause trouble.

The problem is that on a 3,000-meter-high stone pillar five kilometers away lives a Sun Red Dragon with a true SSSS-level rating.

She may not pose a threat to the gods, but dealing with other sea creatures would be too easy for her.

Not to mention that after Skadi's upgrade, Skadi's true combat power has reached the SSS level, and Skadi is still here.

Even if some powerful sea creature did manage to climb up, Titi would kill it cleanly and efficiently.

For the Deepsea Hunter, this is her home turf. Those sea creatures are powerful, but she is even more powerful.

So while it's fine for Rize and the others to stay here, they'll have to leave if they want to improve and gain more power.

Is that so?

"So, dear captain, when shall we go?"

After Rize Kamishiro understood the situation, she wanted to know how long it would take them to get there.

"It's unclear at the moment. You should rest here for a while."

"After I've taken care of my own affairs and returned to Rhodes Island, I'll arrange some tasks for you."

"But that's not necessarily true..."

"If we can find something we can do in the Great Yan..."

Skadi did have her own plans, but as she spoke, her voice suddenly lowered. It seemed she had thought of something important.

"Hmm? Never mind, Captain, you can arrange it yourself."

"Phew, I'm going to the beach."

"Is it okay?"

When Rize Kamishiro heard her say that, she shrugged, not really caring.

Anyway, they'll just follow Skadi's arrangements for now, and they don't need to think about anything else.
