A journey of seven souls escaping from the basement

1Chapter 16 It’s so slow, I can’t even get a bite of the cake.

If Yabu's use of the pendant this time has brought something particularly practical to the people here, it is probably rest and calmness. As of now, at least two directors have had a good sleep because of him. If we include being a tree hole for people to vent, and telling stories to soothe the anxious hearts of some employees, the number may be a little more.

Buy candies, go visit Ifrit, and finally, return to your home to clean yourself, lie down on the bed, and evacuate your consciousness.

That's all Ceria did yesterday afternoon.

I went to sleep from [-]pm to [-]pm the next day. After waking up, my whole body and mind felt completely cleansed, and even the blood flow felt smoother than before.

Ceria, who had never asked for help from others, experienced this feeling for the first time. This feeling of leaving things to others and then letting her mind rest.

Really, this has never happened to me before, not even my own family has ever given me this feeling.

From a young age, all her concepts were based on the idea that she had to do everything by herself. She had to learn knowledge and solve puzzles by herself, repair broken toys alone, and exercise every day to prevent being bullied.

The carefreeness that belongs to children has been missing in her childhood.

But as if it was a joke, this missing thing was filled in by a friend who was sent to her by her future self when she became an adult. I don’t know if this was a compensation for her unhappy childhood.

The sudden leisure even made her feel a little uncomfortable. Even though she was already in the position of director, she did not distribute the work to employees to reduce her workload. When something happened, she was almost always the first one to deal with it. After confirming Only when there is no danger will you let your employees go.

Today, the schedule was unusually tight and there was still some time before she needed to go to work. For a moment, she even didn't know what people could do after stopping. The only thing she could think of was where to sit and feel in a daze. Feel.

But even if it was just a simple daze, this feeling made her feel comfortable, like a gear that had been running crazily for half a life and finally had the opportunity to stop and take care of itself.

This calmness lasted for a long time, until the phone received a message and issued a clear tone, which brought Ceria out of her daze.

[Zhao Bu: I have basically figured out everything you need. If Ceria sees this message and is free, you can come to me at any time. I am here with Dorothy. 】

In fact, when buying candies before, Mulseth also asked Ceria something she couldn't understand.

Without Celia watching, there should be no way for Jabu to get out of Rhine's life. If he stays with Dorothy by himself, how can he find anything that the two of them who can move around freely can't find anything.

But you don’t trust those who employ, and you don’t trust those who doubt. Since you chose to let Yabu come, then Ceria will also choose to believe what Yabu said.

[Ceria: Okay, I'll be there soon. 】

【桠Bu:?Didn't you sleep well?]

It's only 06:30, sister, are you in a hurry to go to morning reading? Get up at this time.

[Seria: I had a good rest and went to bed early yesterday. 】

[桠Bu:...Okay, have you had breakfast? If not, come to my place to eat. 】

[Seria: Okay. 】

Faced with Yabu's invitation, Seria did not refuse. After all, it was quite novel for Seria to wake up and have breakfast waiting for her. In the past, she would buy something outside to deal with the couple. , or simply don’t eat until lunch.

This feeling of accepting help from others is quite good.

-------------------------------------

"Director Ceria."

I don't know whether it can be arranged or is simply a matter of allocation. Most directors' offices are built outside the assistant's room, and the corridor connecting the assistant's room and the outdoors is one-way, and the rooms are divided into the deepest parts of the corridor.

In the past, Seria had never had this sense of déjà vu, but now she felt inexplicably as if the director's office was the security guard in the assistant's room. She didn't know whether she was watching people coming in from outside, or whether she was watching people coming in from outside. Prevent people inside from getting out.

But no matter what, if you want to get to Yabu's room, you have to pass by Dorothy's office.

"I have something I want to talk to Director Ceria." Dorothy seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Ceria passing by, Dorothy hurriedly stopped her very politely.

"Ok?"

"Yabu is now my employee and assistant." Dorothy's words seemed to be a request, but it gave people the feeling of clearly stating the ownership of her belongings to others. "I need his help in many things. I hope Cere Director Ya, please don’t take my employees away without saying a word for a whole day, okay?”

"...Your employee and assistant?" Ceria frowned slightly.

The director does have the power to choose his own assistants. Ceria has always considered that she could help him gain some freedom by letting Yabu be his assistant, but this matter has been delayed by the investigation. , until today she had a little free time.

After experiencing the feeling of being helped by the other party, Ceria actually wanted to try to ask Yabu if he was willing to work here.

But unexpectedly, Dorothy had already poached him first.

"When?"

"It will be the day after Yabu comes."

"... After only getting along for such a short time, you decided to let him be your assistant?"

"Well, I know it's not good to act based on feelings, but at least for now, this is indeed correct. Yabu suits me very well." Dorothy's voice was still soft.

But to Seria's ears, it sounded like she was proud of herself for making the right decision quickly.

"yes."

Seria always thought that Dorothy arranged for Yabu to live in the room where the assistant lived just because she had asked her to take care of Yabu before.

"......I understand."

But it turned out that the things he had temporarily deposited with others seemed to have changed hands without him knowing.

-------------------------------------

*Things... were taken away

-------------------------------------

1Chapter 17 I regret not carving my mark earlier

Faced with the current situation where Yabu has become someone else's assistant, maybe for other people, even if the boss of the person involved has made suggestions, they can still find ways to poach someone.

What's wrong, hey, he's right there, can't he take a bite of the good stuff?Dig, keep digging, keep digging as long as you have the opportunity.

But for someone like Seria, it was almost a sure blow.

I don’t know if Dorothy saw this clearly. Her overly upright character prevented Ceria from engaging in unfair poaching behaviors, and she would not open her mouth to hint or guide Yabu to change jobs.

In other words, unless Yabu suddenly offers to go to Ceria's department, Yabu's appointment as Dorothy's assistant will basically not change.

"Your request is very reasonable. I will do as you say." A long-lost feeling, like the feeling she had after her childhood car was taken away, made Ceria feel that her body, which had become relaxed, began to feel a little uncomfortable. Shen.

And the difference is that there is no way to solve this feeling, because she has never left her mark on it. The ownership of what was taken away this time is not in her hands from beginning to end, and she cannot go Carry out what is called "snatching back".

"But... it is also true that Yabu suddenly entered Rhine's life. The Defense Department has the right to call and supervise him."

"Well, I know, but if Director Ceria wants to take Yabu away later, can you tell me in advance?"

In fact, both of them knew clearly that Yabu was not in any danger from the beginning to the end. He would never do anything malicious to harm others. He was here just for Ifrit and there was no need for anyone to supervise him. he.

But since Ceria has used this kind of official talk to take a step back in exchange for the power to call Yabu in the future, Dorothy will not continue to press forward aggressively to prevent Yabu from being poached.

"Okay." Ceria didn't want to waste too much time here, so she gave a short and straightforward answer.

Seeing Ceria nodded in affirmative, Dorothy didn't say anything. She leaned aside and made a gesture of invitation, making way for Ceria to go to Zhanbu's room.

"Director Serena."

But Ceria almost took a few steps past Dorothy, and Dorothy seemed to suddenly remember something and called out to Ceria, causing Ceria to stop and turn her head to look at Dorothy again.

"Anything else?"

"Yabu is very important, very important to me." Dorothy was shorter than Celia. She raised her head slightly, looked seriously into Celia's eyes and said, "It is very important to everyone. "

"I know."

Even if the important things they care about are not exactly the same for the two of them, at least they have made the judgment that the cloth is very important in their own cognition.

"I will protect him."

-------------------------------------

"You eat what's on the table first. If it's not enough, tell me and I'll make it again. The pot is still on it. It won't take too long to make another one."

"......it is good."

There is no separate room in the kitchen of the staff room. It is just a row of sinks, gas stoves and other equipment next to the wall. Sitting on the dining table, Ceria can clearly see the people who are busy working for her inside. cloth.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Ceria looked at the sumptuous breakfast on the table, which mainly consisted of eggs and dairy products. It seemed that it was all prepared for herself, with only a pair of tableware placed in front of her.

"I have already eaten."

Before Seria came, Yabu had already made the same thing for Xingyuan and Dorothy, but after all, it was the first time to make this kind of Western-style breakfast. Before that, all the failed products used for practice were secretly used by him. eaten.

Yesterday, Yabu asked Dorothy to advance some of his salary on the ingredients and recipes, and asked Xingyuan to bring them for him.

"Come on, the milk is warmed up, or should it be called tumor milk as you call it? It sounds weird."

Grandma Liu is looking for milk to buy liu...,,,milk.

"I'd better order milk. Anyway, drink less coffee from now on and rest on time."

"understood......"

During the meal, the parents kept giving instructions again and again. This is a kind of concern that may be familiar to ordinary people and may even feel a bit nagging, but it is a particularly novel experience for Ceria.

She could naturally say that she had a lot of work to do, and she could give many reasons to convince the other party that it was difficult for her to always rest on time, but in the face of this advice that was purely out of concern, Ceria found it difficult to reconcile this aspect with her heart. The other party fights for their right and wrong ideas.

He just responded to the other person from time to time while letting the warmth of these foods fill his body.

This warm atmosphere made Ceria feel that if breakfasts could be like this in the future, it would be good to make some time to include this in the daily scheduled events.

But this seems unlikely.

He was Dorothy's now...

"Tell me about the information you found, Yabu." Ceria abruptly brought the topic back, not letting herself think too much about Yabu's appointment.

"Okay, there is nothing to monitor in this room. Ceria, you eat first. I will tell you everything I know. If you need anything, you can ask me."

"can."

"First of all, there is the issue of my identity. I have never had the chance to talk about it before, but Ceria probably guessed that I came here from the future."

"Yeah." Ceria was not surprised that the time traveler's guess was confirmed.

In addition to the information attached to the piece of paper, Yabu's own understanding of Ifrit also allowed Ceria to vaguely feel that Yabu wanted to know a lot of things.

For example, when she went to visit Ifrit yesterday, the child's favorite food was indeed strawberry candies, but Ifrit could confirm that she had never told anyone about the candies before, and had never even eaten strawberries at all. Taste of candy.

"According to your request, Ceria, I came to help Ifrit. This is the purpose of my coming. As for my Origin Stone skills, you can understand it as...forget it, you can understand it as something similar to a search engine. Can you understand the things like this?"

In response, Ceria nodded and motioned for Yabu to continue speaking.

"This is about me, and then...well...about the investigation of Haydn Pharmaceuticals." At this point, Yabu suddenly stopped, put his hands on the table and hugged each other, in a moment of silence Then he slowly said, "This result, how can I put it... What I am going to say next does not have any personal meaning, and I do not have any purpose. This result all comes from my ability. There is no No evidence whatsoever, but I can be sure of my ability.”

Just like a disclaimer, Yabu didn't know what was going on. It seemed that he was preventing some misunderstanding from happening, and he put up layer after layer of language shields.

"Speak directly, Yabu." Ceria put down the tableware in her hands and looked at Yabu and said, "Whether it is me now or me in the future, since I have chosen you, I will not doubt what you said."

"Okay." Yabu stood up, dragged the chair to sit next to Ceria, took out the terminal and opened the map showing the entire mobile city.

"Based on Seria's investigation and speculation, Hayden Pharmaceuticals must have someone behind the scenes, right?"

"Yes."

Hayden Pharmaceuticals is only a small company and does not have enough funds to support a laboratory of that size. This means that there must be something larger entrusting it to carry out this matter secretly.

"The person behind the operation, or which organization, one of them, is in this place." As he spoke, Yabu pointed to one of the locations displayed on the map on his mobile phone.

"I checked the translation and went online to get a rough idea of ​​what this place is, but to be on the safe side, I still hope that as a local here, Seria, you can tell me personally what this place is."

"..."

Looking at the position of Yabu's finger on the map, Ceria frowned slowly and silently.

"Colombian Ministry of Defense..."

It's very abstract. I've never played such an abstract game.
