Skadi, returning to infinity

"Did you deliberately linger in the storage room for so long?"

Skadi was confused by the sudden question, but that's exactly what she did.

"Yes, I was worried that people would misunderstand me again, so I waited until you left for about ten minutes before I left."

I was doing it for her own good.

"And then we were still discovered. Your furtive behavior made everyone think we were...we were..."

Kal'tsit was speaking, but she didn't finish the sentence, her face turning slightly red.

What are you doing?

Skadi couldn't immediately figure out what it was; hadn't she done it to clear up the misunderstanding?

"Everyone says we're in the storeroom... in..."

He repeated the sentence, then stopped talking.

Skadi looked puzzled as her virtual screen appeared above her head.

[?????]

A series of question marks appeared, and Skadi really didn't understand what Kal'tsit was trying to say.

"Adultery." He said the word through gritted teeth.

Kal'tsit didn't know whether Skadi was genuinely clueless or just pretending, but she felt like she was being teased.

"Huh? That's not true. How did they spread it like that?"

Skadi shook her head quickly; she was truly annoyed by those who spread rumors.

Why focus so much on my relationship with Kal'tsit?

She knew that she and Kal'tsit were completely innocent and had no improper relationship whatsoever.

Hmm... I wonder if seeing each other's genitals counts as a special relationship?

In many works of art, isn't it depicted that seeing the body is a very serious matter?

Kal'tsit's previous reaction also proved this, but she didn't do it on purpose.

But even if it's not true, only the two of them know the truth, so why are outsiders still discussing it?

"How would I know?" Kal'tsit rolled her eyes.

Are these people really that idle? They do nothing all day but gossip about themselves and the PhD.

Even though they have absolutely no relationship, rumors are circulating that he and Skadi are getting engaged.

How can anyone accept this? If this continues, she'll really get angry.

Catch those who spread rumors, hang them on top of the Tower of Babel, and let them bask in the sun for a few days before we talk about it.

"Okay...should we go explain?"

Skadi glanced back at the group, noticing their shifty eyes.

She also knew that they were among the people who were watching her and Kal'tsit's "relationship" from behind the scenes.

There are fewer people around now, so if I explain it, it should be clear, right?

"No, the more you explain, the worse it gets. They won't believe you so easily now."

Shaking his head, amidst numerous coincidences and the deliberate instigation of someone.

The more you talk about this kind of thing, the more complicated it becomes, and in the end, even if it's the truth, no one will believe you.

"arrive."

As they talked, they walked to the pit, which was more than ten kilometers away from the Tower of Babel.

"This place... feels more dangerous than before."

She had already visited the site when it was first discovered.

Now it has returned, and an even more dangerous atmosphere hangs over the entire area.

This made her hair stand on end, and her ears twitched slightly.

"Be careful." p6ny

As Kal'tsit said this, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck out of the pit.

Skadi reacted instantly, moved close to Kal'tsit, pulled her into her arms, and turned her body to take the blow with her back.

Are you alright?

Kal'tsit was protected by her, but she could still sense the impact of the lightning.

Skadi's body was trembling, clearly indicating that she had also suffered a serious injury.

As soon as the lightning subsided, Kal'tsit immediately crawled out of her arms and walked behind her, looking at her back.

She wasn't seriously injured, and her clothes weren't damaged, but it was true that Skadi's body was trembling.

This made Kal'tsit want to take Skadi back to Babel immediately, make her take off these cumbersome clothes, and see where she was hurt.

"No...it's nothing..." Shu

Sure enough, those scenes in dramas where someone protects a girl in danger aren't something you can just do on a whim.

This lightning bolt possessed a peculiar energy; even Skadi was severely shocked by it.

Although there was no injury, the pain was still very clear.

However, she didn't want to go back for a medical check-up; she knew her condition better than anyone else.

"Are you really alright?"

Kal'tsit was pacing anxiously; was this person just putting on a brave face?

"It's really nothing, Kal'tsit, don't worry about me."

Skadi patted her arm, and a virtual screen appeared in front of her, displaying a smiley face.

【0(><2)】

"If you really get injured, remember to tell me, I'm a doctor."

Since she's already said that, what else can Kal'tsit do?

He sighed softly and gave another word of advice.

She then looked up into the pit, where attacks were coming from, indicating the presence of enemies.

This is not a good thing. Fortunately, Skadi insisted on coming here to deal with it. Otherwise, if she had come later, it would probably have been too late.

"Kal'tsit, give me your hand, and never leave my side. Let me protect you."

Skadi held out her hand and offered it to Kal'tsit.

Looking at her, he spoke in an extremely serious tone.

"Hmm." Why be so stubborn at a time like this?

Kal'tsit hesitated slightly, but finally placed her hand on Skadi's, letting her hold it.

To those behind, this scene was heartwarming.

Is this doctor really that strong? He withstood a bolt of lightning several tens of centimeters thick with his bare body and was completely unharmed?

As expected of Dr. Kal'tsit, her eye for people is truly remarkable.

PS2: The Doctor's solo storyline is coming in July, is he going to get betrayed?

Chapter 20: If you encounter danger, run! - Kal'tsit

"Da~Da~Da~"

In the empty cave, only the sound of footsteps could be clearly heard.

Skadi walked ahead, holding Kal'tsit's hand, and slightly expanded her senses to a range of twenty meters.

"The deepest part is the spacetime rift, right?" p6ny

Sensing the surge of energy, Skadi turned to Kal'tsit and asked a question.

Kal'tsit, who was somewhat dazed, didn't answer immediately, but after a while she came to her senses and looked at her.

"Yes, you need to be careful, there might be an even more dangerous enemy coming."

She didn't dare look Skadi in the eye, and simply nodded.

"Well, if anything dangerous happens later, you go first."

"Let Mon3tr carry you away."

"Remember, don't look back."

Skadi gave the order, and without waiting for her reply, slowly walked into the cave.

Water was dripping from the stalactites above, and there were slight burn marks on the ground.

That was the result of lightning strikes, and not just once or twice.

This indicates that something here has been there for some time.

It's likely that either the people from the Tower of Babel weren't found last time, or they didn't dare to search further, or they only came out after the others had left.

Whatever the reason, Skadi needs to handle this issue properly this time.

A clear, sharp "whoosh" of blades rang out as several throwing knives hurtled towards Kal'tsit behind Skadi.

"Don't even think about hurting her." Raising her hand, she activated the Rinnegan's ability, [Universal Pull], causing all the throwing knives to freeze in mid-air and float towards her.

before.

"Who are you... why... are you stopping me?"
