Before she completely succumbed, Kal'tsit finally remembered to struggle and reached out to push Skadi.

When she said something and didn't get a reply, Kal'tsit looked up at her face.

What they found was Skadi, who had already closed her eyes and was gently dozing off.

Her sleeping face was so peaceful and moving, unlike anything I had ever seen before.

This scene made Kal'tsit feel very strange.

She didn't know where the courage came from, but suddenly she stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Skadi's lips.

After the kiss, she realized what had happened and her heart started racing.

Fortunately, Skadi didn't react at all, which relieved Kal'tsit but also made her feel a little disappointed.

"It's really weird to sneak a kiss while someone is dozing off."

Just as Kal'tsit was lost in thought, Skadi's voice suddenly came through.

Then, her chin was gently lifted by a hand, her small mouth opened, and another pair of rosy lips came close and kissed her cherry lips...

Chapter 41: I shouldn't have been at the door; I should have been behind it.

“Hmm…” Prissis, who was standing at the door wanting to come in, was stunned when he saw the two people kissing.

She then took a deep breath and stepped aside next to the door.

Normally, an alarm would sound in the office if someone came in.

The problem is that Precys is a high-level member, with authority only one level lower than Skadi.

So even if you open the door, there will be no notification, which is normal.

If you can sense it, that's fine.

The problem is that Kal'tsit won't be aware of this information.

So only Skadi knew she had come.

But if the kiss has already begun, stopping too easily would hurt Kal'tsit.

"Whoosh..."

After a long, deep kiss, they slowly released each other's lips.

Skadi pursed her lips as she looked into Kal'tsit's eyes, which seemed to hold a mixture of anger, shyness, and tender affection.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, it smells like coffee."

Kal'tsit just had coffee, so it's perfectly normal for it to have a smell.

"I didn't ask you to kiss me; it was your own choice."

Kal'tsit frowned, seemingly a little angry.

"I don't blame you."

"But don't drink too much coffee in the future."

"I know you're trying to stay awake, but it's really unnecessary."

Kal'tsit's body wasn't that bad.

Although she herself is not strong, she relies entirely on the M3 to fight.

The body's strength is at most around level D.

But that was in the past.

Over the past few years, Skadi has helped her recover her health and has been working to improve her physical fitness.

Unbeknownst to her, Kal'tsit's physical attributes had already reached A-level.

Because the improvement is gradual and subtle, there have been small changes every day over the past four years.

She didn't tell Kal'tsit about this, and Kal'tsit wouldn't be so idle as to test her own strength.

Even if she might be aware of why her body is so healthy.

But at most, one might think it's because Skadi is taking care of her.

Her long-standing habit led her to drink something to stay awake after working late into the night.

Coffee is one of them.

Of course, this is mostly due to habit; even if I'm not sleepy, I'll still have a drink.

"Hmm?" Kal'tsit frowned.

"It seems I need to get my body checked out."

Skadi had been the one to examine her body, and Kal'tsit had witnessed the entire process. She would also review the final test reports.

However, she felt there was no problem with any of these things, so she never asked about them.

Even though she felt that her body seemed to have improved a lot, she only attributed it to Skadi's treatment.

But now that Skadi has said this, Kal'tsit is starting to have doubts.

My body is in such good condition now, and there are no signs of being affected by Oripathy at all, so there must be some other reason.

"I've raised your physical strength to an A-level relative to the Proxy."

"The reason you don't feel it is because it changes every day."

"It's not like you suddenly feel like you can lift a boulder."

Skadi pinched her cheek and told her the truth directly.

"Hmm? Then it seems I need to check more carefully."

"It's not right that it went undetected for several years."

"I suspect you have used some kind of ability to deceive my senses."

Kal'tsit was suspicious of Skadi's feelings.

It wasn't that she thought she would give her something bad, but rather that she wanted to know what was really going on with her situation.

"If you want to drink something in the future, drink this. 99"

After releasing Kal'tsit, Skadi exchanged a special type of tea from Xiao Ai and placed it on her desk.

[Calming and Mind-Soothing Tea - Grade D: 100 packets per can, each packet can be brewed with 1000 grams of water. After drinking, it can restore mental energy and maintain high alertness for a long time. However, there may be side effects, which may occur after the body's functions have been running smoothly for more than 1 hour.]

Six hours later, unless in a dangerous situation, the body will enter a deep sleep within thirty minutes. Entering deep sleep allows bodily functions to recover rapidly. If danger arises during this period, the body will immediately emerge from deep sleep.

Awakening in the middle. Exchange requirement: 100 Willpower.

"Is this the effect?" Skadi showed Kal'tsit the effect panel, clearly telling her that she could only work for a maximum of 16 hours and then need to rest.

"Doctor, are you giving me an order?"

Kal'tsit walked around to the table, looked at the box of tea bags, and then at Skadi.

"I don't want you to stay up late every day, it's bad for your health."

Skadi shook her head; her meaning was clear.

"Is that so domineering?"

"also."

"Anyway, you and His Highness have already trained several teams that can completely take over these matters."

"From now on, I just need to focus my attention on the research of Oripathy. I don't think the doctor will have any objections, right?"

Kal'tsit slowly brewed herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and looked at her.

"You don't need to worry too much about Rhodes Island."

"And we can also train Amiya."

"She is a very promising child and will be Rhodes Island's best leader in the future."

Even though she is young, even though there are many things she may not understand.

"But I believe she will do what we expect."

Skadi's words made Kal'tsit tilt her head and look at her.

"Have you placed too many expectations and burdens on Amiya that are not appropriate for her age?"

“I know you are very clear about what will happen in the future.”

“I also know that Amiya can become the leader of Rhodes Island.”

"But that was formed after all the extreme conditions."

"Amiya is now just like Rin, Sakura, Kallen, Fujino, and Anna."

"They're just kids."

"They can enjoy their daily lives."

Why should Amiya bear responsibilities that are not appropriate for her age?

“Tell me, Skadi.”

“Tell me, Doctor.”

Kal'tsit's words immediately silenced Skadi.

She looked up at the ceiling and closed her eyes.

"I see."

"Let Amiya enjoy her life now."

"As for Rhodes Island, leave it to me."

"Even if Amiya were to inherit Rhodes Island in the future, it should be after she comes of age."

"Yes, it's my problem."

Skadi realized that she had clearly made a parental mistake.
