Chapter 108: Trust (Ask for the first order)
“…… Don't trust him completely. ”
Inside, the magnetic voice was once again like a wake-up call, warning Firena.
But contrary to the treacherous and sinister feeling that Reif gave Firena before, the doctor Roman in front of him, who was constantly scratching his head and smiling like a child, looked harmless to humans and animals.
And despite the fact that there was a voice that kept reminding Firena not to trust him. But her sixth sense can't help but want to get closer to this doctor she has never met.
"Ahh That's right, that's right. I don't know if you like coffee or not, I'm going to make you a cup to wake you up. ”
Seeing that Firena's face still seemed a little groggy, Dr. Roman decisively walked to the counter and brewed a refreshing coffee for her.
"Presumably Firena, this is the first time you have experienced the transfer of the spirit child, that thing does make people feel like sleepwalking, but it doesn't matter, I'm the head of the medical department, and it's still easy to deal with this matter."
Looking at Dr. Roman's chattering back, Firena couldn't sense any danger in him. However, as the man in the dream said, it added to his suspicions.
"Hey, it's a blend of coffee, please try it."
Just as Firena was considering whether to test Dr. Roman, he was already holding a steaming cup of coffee in front of Firena.
"Actually, I'm still a little more confident in my blended coffee blend, and I use five kinds of coffee beans to make the aroma and taste better. In order to make the most of the flavor of each coffee bean, I worked it over and over again, and finally my signature craft was born. Of course, I am also very particular about the location of coffee beans, and I specially send people to the origin to purchase .........."
After taking the coffee, wisps of fragrant fragrance instantly penetrated into her nose with the heat, and she took a sip, and the rich coffee aroma occupied her entire taste buds after a faint bitterness. As she savored the lingering aftertaste of the coffee, Firena's spirit seemed to be lifted by the aroma of the coffee.
"Delicious!"
"Hahahaha, right! This is Dr. Roman's special craft, and ordinary people can't enjoy it. ”
Although it was only a simple two-word evaluation, Dr. Roman was as excited as if he had heard the voice of an angel after receiving this evaluation.
"Well, it's the best coffee I've ever had! I guess you've spent a lot of time studying it, Dr. Roman! ”
"Of course, I spent most of my time skipping work studying how to brew this coffee!"
Dr. Roman, who was not ashamed of his skipping work, completely ignored the white of Firena's eyes and patted his chest and said proudly.
"Fu~!
And Fufu, who had been standing by and watching the play just now, shouted at Dr. Roman a few times in a mocking tone, and then jumped onto Firena's shoulder.
"Huh?! Is that the strange creature of legend on your shoulder? It's the first time I've seen it! Although I also heard Matthew say it, I didn't expect it to really exist, let me see if I can tame this little guy! ”
With that, she reached out and tried to grab the strange squirrel on her shoulder.
"Fu~!"
Just as Dr. Roman's hand was about to touch Fufu, the little guy on her shoulder seemed to bark in anger.
Fufu then kicked Firena's shoulder and leaped into the air. With Firena's exclamation, after completing a 720-degree spin with a high degree of difficulty, the huge tail swept into Dr. Roman's face like steel.
"Whew~~!!"
"Fu!"
At the wail of Dr. Roman, the little one landed firmly on Firena's shoulder like a proud princess. Then he tilted his head and stared at the wailing doctor with a kind of pity.
"Uh...... Doctor Roman, you're all right! ”
"Hahaha. It's okay, it's okay — shhh ”
Where she was slapped by herself, now that she was slapped by Fufu with a steel tail, Firena, who has always been hard-hearted, began to sympathize with this Roman doctor from the bottom of her heart.
Is he really untrustworthy?
Looking at Doctor Roman, a guy who can only play the role of funny and complaining in the anime, Firena can't help but put a huge question mark in her heart. After all, it is really difficult to equate this kind of guy with the evil boss behind the scenes.
"Hiss~! I seemed to see that it had just stared at me with a very pitiful look......"
"Hahaha, Doctor Roman, don't underestimate Fufu, it's a very grumpy little guy."
To prove her claim, Firena flicked her index finger on Fuf's head, causing a wave of displeasure from the little one.
"And Doctor Roman, your strength is too poor, otherwise you wouldn't have been beaten by Fufu so easily."
"Hahaha, after all, I'm just an ordinary person who only knows how to work hard and doesn't have any talent for magic, and it's normal for me to have poor strength."
However, when he saw Firena's contemptuous gaze, he instantly lost his smile, scratched his head and shrugged his shoulders, and said a little weakly and helplessly:
"I know you don't believe me, but I'm really an ordinary person who works very hard."
"No...... I believe it! ”
As soon as the words ended, Dr. Roman was stunned for a moment, and then stared at Firena with an incredulous gaze. After confirming that he had heard correctly, Dr. Roman's face suddenly bloomed with joy.
Although Firena's heart repeatedly reminded that Dr. Roman should not be trusted, and she also confirmed that Dr. Roman had a huge secret in the conversation just now. But Firena still chooses to believe in Dr. Roman, if nothing else, because of his persistence in pursuing to become an ordinary person. Because in his eyes, Firena could see his yearning and desire for ordinary life.
"Haha, thank you so much for your trust, you know that in Chaldea you are the first person to believe me. But then again, the first Lingzi transfer is about to begin, isn't all the staff dispatched, why are you still here? ”
"Uh...... Well...... this."
A somewhat embarrassed Firena, she wanted to refuse to answer this question about her black history, but considering that Dr. Roman, as the head of the department, it was very easy to really know, so she twisted and told him the truth.
"Hahaha, that means you angered the director, so you were removed from the list of the first mission?"
After listening to Firena's account, the doctor immediately laughed. After taking a sip of coffee, seeing Firena's delicate and angry expression, she couldn't help but comfort her kindly:
"To tell you the truth, I was also scolded by the director and am on standby. In other words, the two of us can be counted as one type of person. ”
