Colonia Storm Tour

"Nothing special, I just wanted to come and see you. After all, it's been a long time since we've had a real-life meeting like this."

The reason Alice arrived on Jostvandal Island via time travel is that simple.

"So it wasn't something so important that I needed to come here in person after all..."

Gardenia thought Alice had come to Jostvandal Island for some important matter.

"Wasn't my original body in the underground base in Antarctica? There's no way we haven't actually met in a long time, right? How did Odin let you come here?"

Lin Haiyuan followed Alice's words and spoke seriously.

"That body sitting on the toilet isn't you. The one using Artemisia's body now is you, Lin the Madman. Odin let me come here because he wanted to catch up with you tonight."

Alice did manage to persuade Odin by using the excuse that she wanted to catch up with Lin Haiyuan that evening.

"You were allowed to come here for such a reason. If you want to say something, you can say it through a holographic projection, right? Neither Odin nor Walker AI has let anything slip."

Lin Haiyuan didn't quite understand Alice's behavior of leaving her safe place to come to a dangerous place.

"It's not as fun as talking to you face-to-face with someone through a camera or holographic projection. If you want to catch up, you have to sit in a chair and talk to each other."

Alice persisted.

"Um, Chief Alice, may I ask you a question?"

A gardenia asked a question.

"May I ask a question? Don't be so formal, just say what you want to ask?"

Alice waved her hand and looked at her.

"Chief Alice, are you lonely?"

Gardenia stated her question directly.

Am I lonely?

Alice was taken aback by Youhua Zhizi's question, and then she thought about it seriously and realized that she really did feel lonely, just as Youhua Zhizi had said.

"You don't even know if you're lonely... But with Odin around, how could you be lonely?"

Lin Hai couldn't understand why he and Walker.com's AI hadn't felt lonely at all during the long period when they were stationed together in the air base on the flank of Colonia.

"Emmmmmmmm, Lin the Madman, do you know that Odin, like Walker.com's AI, isn't good at joking around? Sometimes it's really sad to be lectured with a serious tone when you're trying to make a joke."

Alice covered her eyes with her hands and smiled awkwardly as she spoke.

"Hmm, you're right. Sometimes even Walker's AI can't understand my humor. Okay, let's chat tonight."

Lin Haiyuan wasn't exactly a male protagonist with zero emotional intelligence; he could tell that the young woman in front of him was indeed lonely.

"Should I excuse myself at that time, Chief Lin?"

Youhua Zhizi asked—Youhua Zhizi and Lin Haiyuan originally lived in a dormitory room alone.

"No need. Alice and I will just talk in the command room of the Fenfeng Construction Site. We won't disturb your rest, Youhua."

Lin Haiyan shook her head to indicate that she didn't need it.

"I see."

When Hua Zhizi heard him say that, she remembered that Lin Haiyuan, Alice and the Burning Wind Construction Site had the option of reminiscing.

Meanwhile, Charlotte and her companions turned to look at Lin Haiyuan and the group with Hua Zhizi.

"Huh? Why is Commander Alice sitting on Battalion Commander Artemisia?"

Charlotte stared blankly at that side.

"what?"

Her companion followed Charlotte's gaze and, just like Charlotte, saw Alice sitting on Artemisia's lap, and Artemisia holding her in her arms.

"Huh? I don't remember Battalion Commander Artemisia saying that she had such a good relationship with Chief Alice. When did that happen?"

The Wind Magician watched in utter confusion as Alice, Artemisia, and Gardenia chatted together.

Compared to the harmonious and peaceful chat scene on Lin Haiyuan's side, the atmosphere on DEM's side was quite different.

"Those people in Ratatosk are so lax, they're even having tea parties in groups, it's really...enviable."

The magician's words initially carried a hint of anger at being looked down upon, but ultimately took a 360-degree turn and became one of envy.

"It's just that we were unlucky enough to draw the patrol team ranking. Otherwise, we could be leisurely drinking afternoon tea like those Foehn and Ratatosk magicians."

The DEM magician sighed.

"What bad luck. Should we go over there and scare those magicians from Ratatosk and Foehn?"

The DEM magician's suggestion was clearly a bad idea.

"Are you an idiot? The Foehn's defenses have been staring at us the whole time. If we go over and scare them, they'll just scare us back."

The DEM magician criticizes his unreliable companions.

"Okay, but speaking of which, have you noticed that the large plasma cannon on Jostfandark Island has been completely silent since it fired last time?"

The DEM magician looked at the three plasma fortress cannons aimed at Ellington Piris Island in the distance.

"I guess there's something wrong on the other side. Anyway, it's best if there's no movement. We all know that these three cannons are capable of destroying our base, but we don't know why that shark didn't order the cannons to fire and destroy our camp."

This wasn't just the idea of ​​the DEM magician; it was also a question shared by other DEM personnel stationed at various locations.

Why aren't the three large plasma cannons of the Foehn Wind firing at Ellington Piris Island? The people at the Joint DEM couldn't figure it out, but just because they couldn't figure it out didn't mean they wouldn't take any action.

That is, to leave only the necessary machinery and personnel at the original encampment on Ellington-Piris Island, and to move the rest to a sheltered location on Ellington-Piris Island.

This means that the three large plasma cannons set up by Foehn could not directly attack their camp without destroying the entire northern part of the island.

Therefore, the captain and vice-captain of Team Norman were able to leisurely play chess.

However, when the two men were playing chess in their office, William Hansen and Cormier were unusually serious and methodical as they faced off against each other on the black and white squares.

The atmosphere around the two was like a deadly battlefield, and the two magicians used the chessboard as their battlefield and the chess pieces as their weapons to wage a bloodless war.

I won't go into the details of the chess game here, because it doesn't seem very interesting. Both sides have already given away all their slave pieces, but the castle, knight, and bishop have not been removed from the board. In short, Cormier and William Hansen are locked in a stalemate.

This stalemate was expected to last a long time, and so time quickly passed as the game of chess continued.

"Emmmm... Forget it, this chess game is never-ending, let's get this straight! Let's do it!"

Komir put down the chess piece he had mentioned, then bent down and picked up two bottles of vodka from the side.

"I'm thinking we should see who can outdrink whom, and then the two of us can have a one-on-one fight with Artemisia!"

Komier slammed the vodka in his hand onto the chessboard.

“Okay, Cormier.”

William Hansen readily agreed and immediately took the vodka bottle with the cap already pried open.

"Ton ton ton".

Komir put the bottle neck into his mouth and gulped it down.

"Ton! Ton! Ton!"

William Hansen, like Cormier, put the bottle neck into his mouth and gulped down the liquor.

"Dry!"

After the two finished two bottles of vodka, Cormier took out two more bottles and continued drinking to see who could hold their liquor the longest.

"Ton! Ton! Ton!"

"Ton! Ton! Ton!"

This showdown between drunkards began at an astonishing speed.

Back on Jost Vandak Island, the atmosphere between Lin Haiyuan and Alice was completely different from the drunkard's duel.

Instead of reminiscing in the general command room of the Foehn Construction Site as they had agreed during the day, they met in the commander's bedroom inside the Foehn Construction Site.

"それでも人は、UGHくも生きようとする、それをprivateは、とてもThe beauty is the thought, the memory is the sound and the wind is the wind.

Following the sound of the music and the soprano, Alice began to sing: "Rain's hit is a good thing, a free dance is a free dance, and a short life is a song!"

"Why sing songs about the dead in the middle of the night?"

Lin Haiyuan, dressed in casual clothes, pushed open the door and walked in. "Ou Ting, could you please turn off the music?"

"No problem, Master Lin Haiyuan."

Odin's voice came through the communicator.

Then the instruments that played the deathly resonant notes and the exquisite final notes were cut off.

"Hey, Lin the Madman, I was just about to sing a song to welcome you, why did you cut it off like that?"

Alice looked at Lin Haiyuan, who walked in, with slight displeasure.

"How can we catch up properly if you keep the music on? A quiet environment is more suitable for catching up."

Lin Haiyuan crossed his arms and looked at her. The electronic door behind him closed automatically with a slight sound under Ou Ting's control.

"I think we need to play some music to liven up the atmosphere of catching up. Judging from your expression right now, Lin Dafengzi, you don't like Youyouzi's songs."

Alice said with a regretful expression.

"I'll say it again, why are you playing dead people's songs in the middle of the night, and why do you have to sing them out loud? I'll make the dead come up and run for their lives."

Only then did Lin Haiyuan speak to Alice in his original way without any hesitation.

"Lin the Madman, do you know the saying 'A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days' separation'? My voice is no longer that broken gong it used to be; it can now produce a beautiful, lingering sound that is like heavenly music."

Alice proudly puffed out her pitifully small B-cup breasts.

"Yes, yes, I've never seen anyone boast like you before. I don't recall Archer and Elite-level genetic modification enhancements having the benefit of giving people a beautiful singing voice."

Lin Haiyuan complained.

"Emmmm... Lin the Madman, you need to think about this. We're all two-dimensional characters now, so isn't it natural for us to have beautiful singing voices?"

Alice said matter-of-factly.

"My voice, which sounds similar to a bald man's, was something I developed by accident; it wasn't something I automatically acquired when I came into this world."

Lin Haiyuan neither confirmed nor denied Alice's statement.
