"..."X2

"Oh, you've come just in time." The doctor saw the two people whose faces had turned black, but he didn't seem to notice their expressions. He stretched out his hand to Chen Qi and said:

"Chen Qi, give me some money. I want to discuss some human body studies with Miss Feilin."

"..."X3

At this moment, not only Chen Qi and Amiya, but even Kal'tsit on the other end of the communication was silent. A strange atmosphere spread at this moment, but the doctor was immersed in the enthusiasm of the academic discussion that was about to begin and could not extricate himself.

Then, there was a sound similar to a heavy blow, and the doctor's consciousness was temporarily interrupted.

……

An hour later, on the beach of Xiosta, Chen Qi was already alone, sitting on the parasol and lounge chair that had been set up, wearing sunglasses and enjoying this rare leisure time.

It would take some time for the doctor to wake up, so Chen Qi asked Amiya to take the doctor to the hotel temporarily. Other operators who came with him would be responsible for the doctor's personal safety, so they didn't need to worry about anything.

In fact, Chen Qi would rather bury the doctor in the sand with only his head exposed, but considering the doctor's current outfit, being buried in the sand might kill him instantly, so he had to give up this idea.

"…Why are you alone?"

"Ok?"

The sudden sound in his ear made Chen Qi open his eyes, and then he looked to the side, at the film girl who appeared beside him at some point.

"...Amiya sent the doctor back to the hotel. Ifrit...she seemed to have gone with Saria and the others. She's probably at the other end."

"I thought you didn't like places with too many people."

“…It’s good to have a lot of people, it’s very lively.”

Wearing sunglasses, a black swimsuit, and a black towel-like pocket cloth to cover her buttocks, Jessica seemed a little unnatural.

“It’s just that sometimes, when there’s no one I know around me, I feel a little uneasy.”

"It's nothing. We're not the kind of people who are together all the time." Chen Qi chuckled when he heard that, but he took a closer look at Jessica's current outfit and couldn't help but admire her:

“It really suits you.”

"Don't, don't say that..." Jessica seemed a little uncomfortable being looked at by Chen Qi, and replied a little uneasily: "I'll be embarrassed..."

"You look a bit like the current Jessica now." Chen Qi couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, as if he was recalling the current Jessica he had seen before, and couldn't help but say:

"It's hard to imagine... the capable sister Jessica actually has this side."

"It was just the way I was when I was immature." Jessica shook her head. Speaking of this, she seemed less nervous and said calmly, "I have grown up and will no longer be as reckless as before..."

"Mr. Chen Qi?"

"!"

Suddenly, a sound came from behind the two of them. Jessica almost paused in her heart, and then pulled off the bath towel covering her buttocks.

"It is indeed Mr. Chen Qi."

"...Franka, Ms. Razer, and Ms. Jessica?"

Chen Qi looked at the three women who came around from the back and was a little surprised, but he quickly recovered and smiled, "Are you guys here to enjoy the Obsidian Festival as well?"

"Yes, it's a rare Obsidian Festival. It would be a shame if we don't enjoy it."

Wearing a hot red swimsuit, Franca showed off her good figure to the fullest. She didn't care at all about people looking at her and seemed quite generous.

"I didn't expect to see you guys here, and..."

"Isn't this Miss No. 2?" Razer, who was wearing a somewhat restrained swimsuit, obviously recognized Jessica in front of him. Seeing her using such a bath towel to cover her head and half of her face on the beach, he couldn't help but become a little curious.

The room temperature here is 34 degrees Celsius. Isn't that hot?

Or is it that Miss No. 2 has an Originium on her face, so she has been covering her face like this?

"...Long time no see, you two." Jessica's muffled voice also came over. Her hands were tightly holding the edge of the bath towel, her legs were tightly clamped together, and she looked uneasy.

"Wow, Miss No. 2, I didn't expect you to wear such a hot swimsuit!"

Franca on the side couldn't help but exclaimed. Although Jessica couldn't see the structure of the swimsuit shorts because she clamped her legs together, the two not very thick black lines showed that this style of swimsuit was indeed very hot.

As she spoke, Franca couldn't help but turn her head to look at Jessica behind her and couldn't help but laugh: "Cat head, look at Miss No. 2, I originally asked you to try this style of swimsuit, but you were still shy."

"Woo..."

Behind Franca, Jessica, who was very reserved and had a blush on her face, nodded timidly. However, when she looked at Miss No. 2, whom she had not seen for a long time, her pupils lit up slightly and she mustered up the courage to walk forward.

"Well, long time no see, Miss No. 2."

"I, I, I, I" Suddenly, at a point, Jessica's old problem started to kick in again, and she couldn't utter a word for a long while.

Razer and Franka on the side were also helpless. Looking at Jessica like this, they didn't know what to say.

They all knew that Jessica had changed a lot since the battle of Chernobyl. Not only did she put down her gun and replaced it with a sniper gun that looked very expensive, but she had also worked much harder in training recently and even complained less about the hardship and fatigue.

I thought Jessica was upset by something, but later Razer and Franka found out from the hesitant Jessica.

It turned out that she wanted to ask Miss No. 2 to be her teacher, but was worried that she was not qualified, so she had been strengthening her training during this period.

The reason for changing to a sniper weapon was also the same. However, it took some time for Jessica to adapt to the new weapon, which was completely different from the previous style. At least during this period of time, Jessica's performance did not seem to be as smooth as the gun she usually used.

Especially, he learned from somewhere that an operator named Graythroat in Rhodes Island had actually become his apprentice ahead of time. This made Mao Mao Tou depressed for a long time, and he couldn't recover for several days.

However, now, with a rare opportunity right in front of him, this cat-head couldn't say anything again.

"I--"

Jessica seemed to be unable to hold it back any longer and took a deep breath. However, before she could say anything, her tear glands broke.

"woo woo woo woo……"

"…Forget it, Jessica."

Franka and Razer both slapped their heads at the same time for their friend whose tear glands were overdeveloped. Finally, they supported Jessica and slowly walked to the side.

It was not until the three people from Black Steel International walked away that Jessica, who was beside Chen Qi, breathed a sigh of relief. She slowly put down the bath towel covering her head and looked in the direction of the three people who had disappeared with a strange look.

"…What on earth are you trying to do? You look like you're going to confess your feelings to me."

This time, Mao Mao Tou's road to becoming an apprentice still seems a long way off...

Chapter 31: The siege caused by Skadi

"Speaking of which, are we going today? Together."

"...Don't tell me you guys are going to a disco today."

On the other side, Chen, who was wearing very casual tourist clothes, was talking to a few people from Longmen who he met in Xiosta, but he said with a bitter look on his face:

"My body can't handle your torture. How strong are you?"

"Of course we came to Xiosta to dance! Miss C, you won't be able to support the Obsidian Festival concert like this!"

"…Forget it, I have to go back and get some sleep, you guys go by yourselves tonight."

In the end, Chen declined her companion's invitation. She was too tired. She felt like she was suffering from jet lag these days and her menstrual period was about to be disrupted. If she continued like this, she might not be able to hold on for much longer and would have to return to Longmen exhausted.

She did sneak out to relax, but she came to relax, not to use up all her energy.

Thinking of this, Chen also strolled towards the beach. She planned to buy a cold drink there. Recently, Chen has become a little fond of the cool feeling brought by this cold drink.

Here, no one knew her as Chen, nor did they know that she was the senior superintendent of Lungmen. She was just an ordinary female tourist C (Chen) with a slightly outstanding appearance.

There was no one familiar here, even in Longmen, there were few people. At a glance, except for the couple I saw on the beach, there was no one familiar...

…people walking on the beach?

"Ugh?"

Chen Na's gaze suddenly paused as he drank his cold drink. He noticed the two people walking on the beach that day. His pupils couldn't help but dilate slightly, but soon returned to normal.

"I didn't expect them to come too... Are they here to relax?"

"…I'd better not go and say hello. I also want to relax for a while."

……

"Have you thought about what to do after this?"

"…No, the war isn't over yet, is it?"

Jessica walked in front of Chen Qi. She bought a large piece of cloth from somewhere and covered her head, hiding her thin ears and most of her face. But on the beach, it didn't look so conspicuous.

After all, everyone is doing sunshade, and this kind of sunshade method is not unheard of.

"However, if it's over, I will probably go back to Black Steel International and continue to be a mercenary, doing some security work and educating newcomers. It's actually quite boring to do this every day."

"...Are you not considering coming to Rhode Island?" Chen Qi couldn't help but ask, "It's not suitable for you to stay in Black Steel International."

“That’s my promise to them.”

After a moment of silence, Jessica replied calmly. She turned around and looked at Chen Qi and said:

"I know you've always wanted me to join Rhodes Island. Now I am indeed no different from the operators of Rhodes Island."

"But, I won't officially join. I'm just a staff member of Black Steel International. In Rhodes Island, I will always be a reserve."

"I'm sorry, Chen Qi, but I can't betray these promises."

"...I understand." Chen Qi shrugged upon hearing this. He was just saying it casually. He had given up the idea of ​​bringing Jessica to Rhodes Island a long time ago.

In other words, if it weren't for what happened between Razer and Franka, Sister Jessica wouldn't have become so stubborn.

She wanted to move forward with the two of them. The agreements signed by Razer, Franka and Black Steel International were all quite long-term. Razer still had at least ten years, and Franka was about the same.

Although Jessica's backstage connections allow her to quit Black Steel International at any time and return home to inherit the family business, because of their relationship, Jessica will have to continue working at Black Steel International for at least 20 years before considering leaving.

At least, not now.

Jessica looked at Chen Qi's expression, and after a moment of silence, she didn't say anything.

...You are the only and most important person I have left. No matter what kind of difficulties, threats, or difficult tasks you face, I will help you.

for sure.

"Without you, I'd literally be nothing more than a dead body walking (Victorian)."

Jessica murmured in Victorian as if to cover up, but her voice was so soft that she could hardly hear it.

However, even so, she felt that Chen Qi's footsteps behind her slowly paused.

"Hey?" Did he hear it? I said it so softly? Jessica's voice stiffened unconsciously, and the cat's tail behind her stood up stiffly.

"…Skadi?"

"Ugh?"

"Skadi... I just heard the sound of Agor's killer whale." Chen Qi pricked up his ears and listened carefully. After a long while, he said:

"She's saying...she's approaching us?"

"...Can you even hear this kind of sound?" Jessica asked indifferently with an expressionless face. There was clearly no sound near her ears.

However, for some reason, she felt a little irritated in her heart. Even she herself found it difficult to explain this feeling, but she just felt a little off.

They didn't have to wait long, and soon, they saw Skadi not far away. She was wearing beach sandals, a white and light blue swimsuit, and her long white hair was fluttering in the wind.

However, next to her, there was a somewhat unfamiliar figure, wearing a very luxurious dress, a small hat and a flower umbrella, like a noble lady strolling on the beach.

However, she looked a little disheveled now, out of breath, and seemed to be extremely tired.

"Chen Qi." Skadi quickly came to Chen Qi's side, quickly let go of the hand of the breathless girl, and said to Chen Qi with a cold face:

"I found this person on the beach. There was a group of people chasing her. I feel like she might be the one you're looking for."

"You, is she your guard?"

However, at this moment, the breathless girl patted her chest hard, looked at Skadi who had been running for such a long time in sandals without taking a breath, and the girl who covered her face next to Chen Qi and seemed to have a similar temperament to her guard, and immediately turned her eyes to Chen Qi.

"Hello, my name is Ceylon, and I'm the daughter of Mayor Xiosta!"

"I'm in a little trouble now. If you are willing to help me, I can give you a lot of money afterwards!"

As she said this, Ceylon's face suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment. She was in a hurry when she came out and didn't bring much money with her. The most valuable thing on her was probably this set of clothes.

Her father was not in the city now, and no one knew where her guards had gone. It seemed that she had no credibility when she said this.
