Kicked out of Rhodes Island, a small quilt was covered in the hole of the Longmen Bridge

"What's the matter, Dr. Kelsey?"

Bai Hua asked curiously, pulling Kelsey back from fantasy time.

"It's nothing. What you said is a good thing. At least you can master and use the power of the giant beast, which can prevent you from being swallowed by backlash."

Kelsey shook her head as usual without showing much emotion.

"That's what I said... But there are still some bad things, let's have a cup of coffee and talk slowly."

Bai Hua sighed. He got up and went behind the counter to take out the coffee powder. After some ideological struggle, he decided to honestly follow the instant coffee brewing process instead of doing some "I'm thinking about" technology and hard work in it.

After all, no matter how I say it, I can bake and understand potatoes. As long as I follow the instructions step by step, this kind of fool-style brewed coffee should not be too bad to drink——

Not long after, Bai Hua came out from behind the bar. He held two cups in both hands, and handed the steaming coffee to Kelsey. Then, he sat by the sofa in the reception room, raised the cup and sent the black liquid to Kelsey. In the entrance.

"..."

Kelsey stared at the coffee in the cup, remembering what Warfarin said to herself before:

"Kelsey, although you have always acted for the interests of Rhodes Island and the infected people, and even sacrificed yourself. But this situation can't continue! You have to behave when the time is right. Show a slack and friendly attitude, and then give others sincere compliments, so that you can quickly get closer to other people? Or are you planning to spend your whole life with our old acquaintances in the medical department, and you will always be that person in the eyes of others? Strangers are not allowed to enter, and the Lafayette of the medical department that no one dares to communicate with?"

Although Warfarin said these words when she arrested the "medical department blood thief" and went to court, it more or less made Kelsey have some considerations of her own when she was hanging on the bridge.

If it was her former self, Kelsey really didn't mind other people's misunderstanding, even if they regarded themselves as evil spirits, it didn't matter.

But ever since he 'expelled' Bai Hua from Rhodes Island, Kelsey has been asking himself whether this way of handling it is correct, and is there a possibility that it would be better for him and Bai Hua to honestly say everything .

Fortunately, Bai Hua didn't go astray in the end (although she was not as cute as before except for the tail), when the gray wolf returned to Rhodes Island and understood what she had done, Kelsey only felt that her body was irritating. The heavy burden that I couldn't breathe finally fell to the ground.And this experience, to some extent, still made Kelsey start to examine her own way of doing things.

In the end, I just want to be the 'project test supervisor' next to Bai Hua, besides?Or, in fact, I hope to get along more easily with this gray wolf, like a partner, or even a family member?

—— Use this as an opportunity to praise Bai Hua frankly, and then try to get along with him more peacefully.

Holding the warm cup in her hand, which contained the coffee that Bai Hua specially brewed for herself, Kelsey soothed her eyebrows, and pressed the coffee cup to her lips, preparing to use this method to narrow the distance between the two.

Then--

"It's hard to drink...! In other words, this thing can't be defined as 'coffee' from the perspective of objective observation!"

The moment Kelsey swallowed the black liquid into his mouth, all the plans that Kelsey had planned were aborted, and the words he wanted to say were immediately thrown away, and even the hair on his temples was visible to the naked eye.

"Ugh!?"

Bai Hua, who was still cheerfully squinting and sipping on her "proud work", was taken aback by Kelsey.

"There is no aroma of coffee at all, and if you look carefully, even the coffee powder has not been brewed... No, this thing is not instant coffee powder at all! Even if this most intuitive and original mistake is put aside, on this basis, Why do whole coffee beans sink to the bottom?"

Kelsey got up and came in front of Bai Hua, holding out her coffee cup like a hell chef questioning a rookie chef why this 'garlic pork ribs' is so unpalatable that it can invigorate the blood.

"That, that..." I did improvise a little bit, but I can guarantee that I will never die from drinking it! "

Seeing that the matter was brought to light, Bai Hua immediately said in a French military salute that she did not suppress her chef cells, but she did not go too far either.

Bai Hua was a little confused at this moment. In Bai Hua's impression, Kelsey had always been calm no matter what, almost the endorsement of the word "reasonable". Pulling the crotch and a little fried hair.

Is it really that bad to drink?To be able to make Kelsey so angry, what kind of state must it be to be so unsatisfactory?

Facing Gray Wolf's feeble and pale defense, Kelsey just stared at him coldly, with that expression completely expressing one thing: 'the corpse is talking'.

"That, I, I, I was wrong, Dr. Kelsey...I'm going to make another cup right now."

Bai Hua, who knew she had screwed up, no longer kept her mouth shut, and immediately confessed that she wanted to make up for it.

"……follow me."

After a brief silence, Kelsey sighed, then grabbed Bai Hua without any explanation, and brought her to the rest bar of the office.

"Listen up, Bai Hua, the mistakes you just had in that cup of coffee are just like the history we have experienced itself—it's extremely absurd and unreasonable, but the amount is incomprehensible."

"Eh?"

Kelsey rolled up the sleeves of her usual work clothes, walked to the bar and said.

"First of all, instant coffee powder and ground coffee beans are two things. The former does not need to filter the residue, but the latter is different-as for you, you just used coffee grounds."

"This, is that so? I thought it was coffee with a sesame paste taste."

"...Forget it, sometimes ignorance is a kind of charity."

Hearing Bai Hua's response, Kelsey, who was about to say something, was instantly discouraged. She shook her head slightly, and at the same time took out coffee beans from the bag and put them into the grinder.

The developed powder is loaded into the groove at the front of the handle, compacted with a tamper, twisted into the nearby coffee machine and pressed.

Not long after, the dark brown liquid flowed into the cup, with a mellow aroma and a faint layer of oil on the surface.

Kelsey put the leftover coffee grounds in the handle into the trash can, then rinsed the equipment, wiped it with a towel, and then put it back to its original position. The movements were done in one go without muddling, just like Kelsey's usual operations.

"With sugar and milk?"

After completing this set of operations, Kelsey held a sugar bowl and a carton of milk in her left and right hands, like a goddess of the lake.

"That... can I add cream?"

Bai Hua swallowed her saliva, blinked her eyes and replied.

------

"..."

In the reception room of Rhode Island's Longmen Office, Kelsey held a coffee cup in silence.

- fucked up

The old green lynx wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to praise Bai Hua and ease the relationship between the two, but because of Bai Hua's coffee brewing skills, he rolled up his sleeves and showed the coffee from beginning to end. Correct brewing method.

Right now, Bai Hua would probably only think that he is a bitter and mean guy who even has to dictate how to make coffee——

"It's amazing, Dr. Kelsey! Although it's still a bit sour and bitter, it's very mellow, and it's very smooth to drink!"

"?"

Bai Hua, who thought she would be depressed because of this, now holds the coffee cup in both hands, staring at herself with admiring stars.

"Speaking of which, I always thought that you, Dr. Kelsey, were only good at medical matters. I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about coffee."

Shirakaba is not disappointed at all, but for some reason seems very happy to talk to Kelsey.

"It's just for work. I often drink coffee, and I have some experience over time. It's also because of this that I'm startled by your wild coffee."

Kelsey responded lightly with a coffee cup in her hand, but from the analysis of the pointy shaking ears on her head, it is estimated that Kelsey also felt a little happy and proud of Baihua's unreserved and sincere praise.

"I see, hehe."

Listening to Kelsey's response, Baihua smiled for some reason, which made Kelsey tilt her head curiously.

"There shouldn't be any joking elements in what you said just now."

"No, I was just thinking that Dr. Kelsey would also have his own hobbies. After all, I didn't know anything about Dr. Kelsey before." Bai Hua explained with a smile as she poured coffee into her mouth.

"I don't have many hobbies, because I don't have extra time to develop, not to mention that I don't need to use additional methods to relieve mental stress. Maybe when Rhodes Island is on the right track, after the things I should do are over, I'll take some time to think about it."

Kelsey responded with half-closed eyes, putting the coffee cup aside.

——This is considered to be in the planning and development

The process was somewhat different from the original estimate, but the result was at least not bad. Kelsey included this in her own plan of 'omniscient' without any burden.

"So back to the previous topic, Bai Hua, you signed a contract with the giant beast - the price is that you won't eat the green belt and the food you made yourself in the future."

Kelsey redirected the topic back, and when she recounted, she was still thinking about whether Bai Hua had just tore up the giant beast contract right under her nose.

"But you said that the disadvantages are not only that, are there other factors?"

"Well, because we have always coexisted in an isolated way, now Fenrir and I can communicate directly, which means that the thoughts of the giant beast itself will gradually invade my consciousness."

Bai Hua licked the cream on her lips and said, although the consequences sounded very serious, Bai Hua's reaction was not very nervous.

"Consciousness encroachment—no, there's nothing surprising about it. The side effect of sealing the power of a giant beast in a mortal body is predictable... Bai Hua, you said Fenrir, is that the name of a giant beast?"

"That's right, I also knew the origin of Fenrir before—it used to be the endorsement of power inherited from a certain Syracuse family, and I got this power only after signing a contract with it. It's just that I only know what Fenrir told me, about the Syracuse family, I still don’t have the slightest impression, it’s as if the memory itself has been completely formatted.”

Bai Hua tapped her head and said.

"The giant beast of the Syracuse family?"

Kelsey frowned slightly. She did vaguely know that there were giant beasts working in those powerful gang families in Syracuse, but because Syracuse itself was relatively closed, Kelsey knew only this, just like a snow mountain. It's about the same as the Holy Spirit.

"In short, how long does it take for the erosion of consciousness?"

"Well, about three months or so."

"...It seems that the crisis has not been resolved in essence, but the deadline has been changed to three months."

After Bai Hua learned of the existence of the giant wolf and signed the contract, the essence of the status quo has not changed.

Although the body will not be torn apart by the legacy of the 'Tail King', but three months later, Bai Hua will also disappear due to the devoured consciousness. The shadow of 'death' still hangs over the gray wolf.

"It's okay, Dr. Kelsey, isn't it three months—"

"You give me a little self-love!"

"Wow!?"

Bai Hua responded carelessly, but was frightened by Kelsey's yelling in the next second, and the dog barked.

Kelsey, who was just sitting opposite Bai Birch, put the coffee cup aside at this moment. She put her hands on the coffee table and stretched out her upper body. Her emerald green eyes met with Bi Birch's blue and golden pupils at close range, and her expression was extremely serious. He even scolded Bai Hua with anger.

"You are now loved and cared by many people. You can even say that you, Bai Hua, can easily control the situation in a region. So give me a little self-awareness, and pay more attention to 'self-life', understand?"

Kelsey's tone was not so much an inquiry as an 'order' at all.

"I... well, I'm sorry Dr. Kelsey, but as you said, I should have been a little more self-aware."

Bai Hua originally wanted to refute that 'I'm not that powerful', but after thinking about it for a while, I found that, unlike myself when I was in exile in Ursas and dawdling in Victoria, the 'Bai Hua' who is here now is indeed recognized by countless people. Concerned, and it is true that you can easily influence the situation in a region-as long as you are willing to sell your ass.

"After going through so much, I am no longer alone anymore. I really have to live well and try my best to survive!"

Bai Hua nodded in agreement with Kelsey's words.Looking at the gray wolf's crystal eyes, Kelsey knew very well that Bai Hua is no longer the little wolf cub who had to be given a goal before he could act. He has already taken the initiative to act for what he cherishes, but some Sometimes, his actions will 'lower' his life priority, which must be reminded him.

"I hope you will keep this in mind, Bai Hua. This has nothing to do with 'His Royal Highness's legacy', it's about you."

Kelsey patted Bai Hua's ears, and then sat back on the sofa.

"I will study the contract with the giant beast to find a solution. Bai Hua, you went to Shangshu before, how do you feel?"

Thinking of the previous 'Closer and Affinity Operation Plan', Kelsey decided to use a stick and a date.After reprimanding Bai Hua for cherishing life, let's chat about the daily life and come to 'get close'.

"Shangshu is very good! Not only is the scenery beautiful, but the folk customs are also simple, and I even became lovers with two year old beasts."

"Well, that's fine."

Kelsey nodded.

"……Um?"

Then his eyes widened.

------

"...I now know exactly what kind of miracle it was, Bai Hua, that you were able to move at the pace I arranged."

After listening to Bai Hua's trip to Shangshu and the story of how she met Xiling and the two year-old beasts, Kalsey was even a little numb. She responded softly without being surprised, and wiped the coffee spilled on her body with a napkin. .

Any situation that seems 'impossible' at first glance seems to happen as long as it is spread on this gray wolf, whether it is abducting a rich woman and a young tiger, the heir of the Dragon Gate, or a year old beast.

At the beginning, Bai Hua was able to follow the Ursas-Victoria-Longmen route honestly and without any troubles according to her own plan. Now it seems like a miracle.

Or... In fact, there are moths everywhere on this road?

"I'm a little worried about you and Amiya now, Bai Hua."

Kelsey sighed and threw the tissue in the trash.

"Amiya? Why do you say that, Doctor Kelsey, I will never, no matter what, hurt Amiya!"

When talking about the little rabbit, Bai Hua immediately swore that she would never hurt the little leader of Rhodes Island, nor would anyone else hurt her.

"I'm worried that one day you will be caught in the bureau."

"Uh……"

Bai Hua, who had sworn allegiance, suddenly became unconfident. At first, Amiya seemed to have a tendency of "sister affection" towards herself. Now since Snow Rabbit came to Rhodes Island, Amiya, under the influence of Snow Rabbit, gradually Running towards the direction of chaos...

"I never thought that, Bai Hua, you and Amiya couldn't get together for a long time, besides the 'power of the false king and the devil', there is also this level of relationship."

Kelsey glanced at Bai Hua, her eyes seemed to be looking at a trash can.

Although Bai Hua wanted to refute that she would not have messy thoughts about Amiya, she was afraid that such words would offend Amiya's "mother" in a real sense.
