The Little Devil of Sakaz

It's so warm...

69. A few things about Rhode Island

"dad……"

My body hurts.The area where the stone grew was hot, as if hot water had been poured on the body.

Where is dad...where is dad?

In pain, she only remembered hearing the piercing siren. What were the last words her father said to her?Covered by the sound of the explosion, she didn't hear her father's last words clearly.

"Worm, there's a child here. Pick her up."

Someone is coming...red...bright...

When Amiya woke up, her body no longer hurt.

She met the Doctor, a cold man who seemed to be rational all the time.

She met Theresia, that beautiful person with tender eyes.

She also saw...

"Brother Worm."

The boy who was only two years older than me.

"Amiya, there is a mistake here."

"Ah, sorry, Dr. Kelsey."

Little Carters, who had already started trying to access the files, apologized apologetically to Dr. Filming after being reminded.

"You don't need to apologize to me, Amiya. You are not focused today. What are you thinking about?"

"I...well, I'm worried about logos...operator logos. He has been away from Rhode Island for a long time. I don't know if everything is going well for him."

"Logos? You don't have to worry about him, Amiya. Logos is very good both in terms of his own abilities and his qualities as an elite operator."

"I understand, Doctor Kelsey. Next, I will study seriously."

But is it really the logos that she’s worried about?

Kelsey looked at little Carters who was reading the document carefully, but did not expose her little lie.

She knew what Logos took with him when he left.

But she couldn't control the personal relationships of the operators, and there was no need for her to.

At this stage, after losing Theresia, Doctor and Worm one after another, she has exhausted her energy trying to maintain the normal operation of the entire Rhode Island. In order to keep Rhode Island running for a long time, she still has to Do more.

"Go and rest first, Amiya."

"Dr. Kelsey...you must also remember to rest."

Little Carters bowed to her and left quickly.

Dr. Filling looked at the schedule.

Today...well, is it the day that logos comes back in the plan?

There are only enough manpower left on the island to maintain the operation of the ship. The other elite operators lead teams or go alone to designated locations to conduct exploration, setting up offices, recruiting personnel, and developing equipment for Rhode Island in the future. Prepare for advertising and other things.Among them, Logos's task is the most important, which is to detect the location and defensive arrangement of Chernobog's sarcophagus, and prepare to treat the doctor who now needs to hang himself in the medical treatment room.

"It is expected to arrive in Chernobog within three days..."

For your first business cooperation in Rhode Island, you must be prepared.

After rubbing her eyes and putting on two drops of eye drops, Kelsey once again immersed herself in writing the document.

"logos...logos operator...welcome back."

Banshee brought some packages aboard, most of which were Usa's specialties.

Askalon had already arrived in front of him and was talking to him.

"Amiya. Worm received your gift, and he said he liked it very much. This is a snack he gave you, so don't let Dr. Kelsey find it."

When the little rabbit arrived, the banshee stopped talking, handed her a pack of candied dried carrots, and conveyed Worm's reply.

"Really! That's great! Thank you, Operator Logos! Thank you too, Brother Worm!"

When he heard that his gift was accepted, little Carter's face finally lost its worry, replaced it with an expression of excitement, and hugged the bag of snacks tightly.

"Did Brother Worm ever say...when would he come back?"

"Is this... Worm won't be able to come back in a short time."

Seeing the sad expression on little Carters' face, the banshee still added.

"But if Rhode Island can continue to develop and realize Dr. Kelsey's vision, then Worm will be able to get help from Rhode Island no matter where he goes."

"Really...I will work hard to help Dr. Kelsey!"

After coaxing the little rabbit away, the banshee and Askaron picked up the topic.

"Is Worm related to the nobles of Ursus?"

"Yes. But it's just an ordinary mission...an escort mission. There should be no further contact."

For Worm's safety, they didn't want Worm to be associated with something like a "noble".But if you want Worm to grow, dealing with these things is inevitable.

"Maybe... I should have followed Worm away... at least I could have warned him to avoid some dangers!"

Askaron's self-blame did not diminish with the passage of time, but seemed to make her sink deeper and deeper.

"Don't think too much, don't hesitate, Askaron. Look how decisive you were in the past. Assassins can't hesitate at all."

logos delivered a snack to her.

"Worm bought this for you. The scarf you knitted is very comfortable and warm for him to wear."

"...As long as he likes it. As for me...I will adjust myself."

That scarf was the first finished product that she had knitted for a long time. Although it still had flaws, it was much better than those failed products that were nothing.

How about knitting Worm a sweater next time?

But it will be difficult to meet him after he leaves Ursus.Do you want to keep it until he comes back?But he must have grown taller by then...

"Don't mention me anymore. Let's talk about Worm's situation, logos."

Askalon wants to know how Worm has been eating during this time?Have you grown taller?Have you gained weight or lost weight?Are there any injuries on your body...

"Tell me one by one... Is there anyone else on the island? Let's have a small meeting."

"Okay. Let's go."

Ascalon took a few steps and looked back at logos.

"what happened?"

"I forgot to bring Worm's blood sample to Dr. Warfarin."

"...really forgot?"

Askalon didn't believe that the banshee had such a bad memory.

He even remembered the length of Worm's hair and the appropriate style of clothes. How could he forget this?

"What about her experiments?"

"Then there's nothing we can do. Since she said Worm's blood is abnormal, it's best not to conduct further research. It's best for everyone to stop at this stage."

"Perhaps with the name of our Dr. Warfarin, Mr. Blood. As long as she restrains her urge to suck blood, the remaining blood in her hand may not be able to support her in completing the rest of the research."

The succubus smiled and answered Askaron's question.

As for the secrets contained in Worm's blood?He believed his mother must know something.

70.Natalia’s changes

"You have to work if you want to eat. Do you think you are still a noble lady now? If you disobey, no one will care about you."

Natalia recalled the words of the girl of her own race in her mind, and the fear she had experienced these days swirled in her heart.

She felt very incomprehensible.It was obviously the father who hired these people, and they should ensure their own safety and food.Why did she have to do it herself now... work so she could have a place to sleep and food?

The Sakaz are really a bunch of weirdos, bad and weird.

But there is no way.Her stomach growled with hunger, and Natalia was really afraid of being left behind.So she could only put on clothes that the Sakaz children found for her that fit her well, and do menial work with the girl of the same race.

"Aren't you very powerful?"

Although she is a noble lady and not very young, Natalya is very strong thanks to Ursus' racial talent. She can do things like carrying ingredients, building pots and stoves, and fetching water.It's just that she doesn't know whether she should put down her status as a noble, whether she should let go of the noble dignity her father told her to participate in the productive life of civilians.

"Here, your dinner. Fortunately, we built the nest quickly, otherwise we wouldn't be able to deal with the prey brought back by the hunting team."

Sonia is very happy today.Because her request was responded to by Worm, although she was still unable to participate in the battle, she could go hunting with the hunting team.

"thanks……"

"Don't you know how to talk?"

Sonia looked at her with raised eyebrows, then sat down next to her and started eating her share of food.

Tonight's hunting results were pretty good. The hunting team brought back several wild beasts, a giant rock crab, and a basket of river scales, which were enough to satisfy everyone.

"Sonia..."

"Speak quickly if you have something to say."

Before she could swallow the food in her mouth, Sonia's voice was a little vague.

"Why...are you so happy?"

Natalia didn't understand why Sonia did such strenuous work and lived a barren life among such a team.She seemed to have a father and a mother and a stable life. How could she give up those things and come here?

Natalia couldn't even imagine how terrible her future life would be without beautiful clothes, soft beds, delicious food, afternoon tea, and a stable daily routine.

"Huh? I'm doing what I want to do. I'm free. Of course I'm happy! Shouldn't you noble ladies already know this? You can do anything you want."

Sonia felt that she could not have any mutual understanding with this noble lady.Originally, I wanted to praise her because she was willing to work and could speak, but now she suddenly asked such idiotic questions.

"Being free to do what you want...is not what you think, Sonia. We, we also have to do things according to the schedule arranged by our elders...singing, dancing, fencing...we don't have any freedom either. Word."

Natalia didn't know what civilian life was like, but her own life didn't have much fun, nor was it as arbitrary as Sonia said.

"Hey, at least you don't have to worry about food and clothing, unemployment, or not being able to make money without a job in the future."

Sonia remembered her father's worries.

"But the life of a noble is... very dangerous."

Natalia thought of her father's appearance when he was leaving, and her mother's reluctant eyes.

"How would I know such a thing? I'm not a noble lady like you. What's more, is there anything that is not dangerous?"

Sonia finished her meal quickly and prepared to report to the hunting team.

"yes……"

Natalia is not a civilian, so she doesn’t know what civilian life is like.

But now she knows how hard the life of a mercenary can be.And for Sonia to give up her own life and follow her here, is the life of a civilian inferior to that of a mercenary?

"What should I do?"

she thought.

What I should continue to learn and understand, if I have a lot of knowledge, like those scholars... maybe I can help my father, and maybe I can make Sonia no longer so indifferent to me.

But who should she learn from?

A figure appeared in Natalia's sight. Sonia, who had just run away, followed her like a bear chasing honey.

Worm.

The leader of this team, this boy not much older than himself... he seems to be also a noble?

Are there nobles in Sakaz?

Natalia didn’t know, but Worm must know more than she did.He is so kind to others, much easier to get along with than other Sakaz.

Could she ask Worm for advice?
