A Community with a Shared Future in a Multidimensional World

"...little mouse, has no one taught you not to intimidate an opponent you have absolutely no strength to resist?..."

Immediately, Latti felt the feeling of falling into an ice cave again, and bowed her head in submission.

After noticing Ratty's surrender, the alchemist looked away.

"……now it's right……"

"Alchemist, don't scare her too much."

Here, Lightning also sighed, and then persuaded the alchemist in a discussing tone.

But the alchemist didn't pay attention to OTs-14, he just raised his hand to signal her to continue.

OTs-14, who knew the eccentric character of the alchemist, could only sigh, and then asked Latti who was sitting on the ground.

"Miss Ratty, let me repeat, we don't accept...'outsiders' here, and we are not interested in your 'repayment'."

OTs-14 thought for a while, and finally chose the description "outsiders".

But as if he didn't hear it, Latti continued to insist.

"If I go back to my tribe now, they won't accept me. I can do anything!"

Facing Ratty's answer, OTs-14 sighed lightly, and then looked at the alchemist.

After noticing OTs-14's gaze, the alchemist spoke in her lazy voice.

"...Little mouse, my companion should have made it very clear that we don't need you here, and it doesn't matter to us whether you can work or not."

While speaking, the alchemist glanced at Letti who was watching her cautiously, and Letti immediately had a cold convulsion on the spot as if she had been electrocuted.

Afterwards, the alchemist turned his eyes away, and continued to eat the chocolate on his own.

The scene fell into speechless embarrassment for a moment.

But here, Latti, who was originally looking at alchemy, slowly drifted to the chocolate in the alchemist's hand.

After the alchemist noticed Ratty's gaze, he also looked at her.

"...Do you want to eat?"

A few minutes later, OTs-14 watched the inexplicable development in front of him while drinking tea with great interest.

After the alchemist asked Letti if he wanted to eat chocolate, Letti nodded for some reason.

Afterwards, it became what it is now. Ratti carefully sat beside the alchemist like a kitten, holding a chocolate wafer biscuit in both hands and gnawing on it.

As for why it is a chocolate wafer biscuit, the reason is that Ratti tried the alchemist's sugar-free chocolate at first, and was immediately distorted by the bitterness, but she dared not complain that it was not delicious.

However, after the alchemist noticed Letti's expression, he quietly snatched the remaining chocolate from her hand, and stuffed her with a pack of chocolate wafer biscuits.

"...This is bitter, you can't get used to it."

Then it became what it is now.

What's more interesting is that the alchemist would occasionally help Letty wipe the biscuit crumbs all over his face.

But while OTs-14 was still thinking about what would become of this interesting development, AK-12 also came in.

"AK-12, good morning."

However, AK-12 didn't respond to OTs-14's greeting first, but just looked at the alchemist and the alchemist and Ratty beside her and asked.

"Huh? Isn't this a little mouse?"

Lettie raised her head in protest when she heard someone calling her a little mouse again.

"I'm not a little mouse! I have a name!"

But he didn't put down the biscuit in his hand, and his mouth didn't stop.

And AK-12 greeted OTs-14 while Ratty was protesting, and took a sip of the tea that OTs-14 handed her, before continuing to speak in a calm manner.

"I know your name, but Little Mouse is more suitable for you, isn't it? I have to say that the alchemist gave you this name at the time, it was pretty good, so you might as well change your name to Little Mouse."

Ratti, who was blocked by AK-12, suddenly choked.

So, while reaching out to pat her on the back, the alchemist handed Latty a drink.

"...don't talk while you're eating."

Seeing the performance of the alchemist, AK-12 also stood beside OTs-14 with a look of interest.

【...Lightning, are alchemists so good at taking care of people? 】

[It seems that the bottom of the iron blood are quite good at taking care of their companions. 】

【So, now the alchemist regards this little mouse as a companion? 】

【...Don't you think it's more like feeding small animals than your companions? 】

While muttering on the communication channel with AK-12, OTs-14 put down the teacup.

[Also, she seemed to be teleported here on the way to feed FAL's Mayfair the day she first came here. 】

[ Mayfair?what is that? 】

Facing AK-12's question, OTs-14 thought for a while before suddenly realizing.

[Oh, I forgot 12, you haven't been to the base much, Mayfair is FAL's pet, a ferret. 】

[Fair...FAL...hahaha is the same as her name. 】

Just when AK-12 was inexplicably poked and smiled happily, UMP9 also ran in.

"Good morning! ~ Oh, is the alchemist feeding the small animals again?"

"I have a name! My name is Latty!!! Latty!!!"

But Ratti's protest was once again ignored by UMP9, and AK-12 also looked at UMP9 with great interest.

"UMP9, did you just say 'again'?"

"Yeah, yeah, haven't you noticed that there have been more birds around us recently? They were all fed by alchemists during this time. And..."

"...UMP9, you talk too much."

The alchemist interrupted UMP9's breaking news with a slight frown, and turned his head and said to Latti, who was eating slowly.

"...Little mouse, have you eaten enough? You should go back if you have eaten enough."

However, facing the alchemist calling her that, Latti did not refute but slowed down the speed of eating, and then replied while chewing.

"I can't go back. You saved me. If I don't return my favor, I will be ridiculed by the tribe."

"...Listen, little mouse, you won't be able to help you if you stay here, and do you know how much the stuff you just ate is worth?"

Hearing this, Ratti's hand, which had been eating well, froze.

"...Are these things expensive?"

Before the alchemist could answer her, UMP9 jumped to her side.

"Actually, it's not that expensive. The chocolate wafers you ate cost 50 Gallian dollars a pack, which is not too expensive compared to others."

"5...50???? This pack of biscuits is half a month's income for an average Gallia family??"

Hearing this number, Latti's face was covered with biscuit crumbs, he was entangled and reluctant to put down the delicious biscuit he tasted for the first time, and felt that the price of this biscuit was really too expensive.

But in the end, after struggling for a long time, because the biscuit was too expensive, Latti could only reluctantly put down the biscuit in his hand.

"...I...I'll give the money..."

Seeing Letti's tangled face, the alchemist squinted at Letti, which made Letti tremble again.

"...It doesn't matter if you give the money or not. Anyway, the commander I give you will be counted as eating. But you should leave."

"...but...but I can't go yet..."

Hearing this, the alchemist raised his hand and knocked Latti on the head.

"I didn't tell you!..."

Seeing Latty covering his head with tears in his eyes, the alchemist covered his face and sighed again, then changed into a less severe tone.

"...you can't help here."

"I really can do anything! It hurts..."

Before he finished speaking, Leti was hit hard by the alchemist again, but this time the alchemist stood up impatiently.

"...It's too troublesome, you can figure it out."

Then, the alchemist pushed away UMP9 in front of him and walked out.

"Oh...hey! Alchemist, you almost made me fall, be careful!"

After finally maintaining his balance, UMP9 immediately waved his fists at the alchemist who was going downstairs and complained.

While UMP9 was protesting, OTs-14, who had been watching the interaction between the alchemist and Ratty, a group of snakes and little mice, could not help but smile softly, while AK-12 beside her kept a forgiving expression. The interested smile asked in the communication channel.

【Is this how the alchemist operates? 】

[Hoohoo, it seems to be so, for people who are not enemies or who are not hostile, they are surprisingly gentle. 】

Afterwards, OTs-14 coughed dryly and controlled his smile, then looked at Latti who was still reaching out to touch the spot hit by the alchemist just now and said.

"Miss Ratty, you have heard my companion. You can't help here, and we don't need slaves."

"But... I really can do anything..."

Seeing Ratty persist, OTs-14 glanced at the AK-12 beside him.

After AK-12 subtly sensed the fun, he spoke with a hint of cunning.

"Little mouse, if you insist on this, we can give you a chance."
