Talos provided information on the personnel and information movement within Rossos on the matter, while Epivos Crado, the pillar of Prosoia, provided information on the actions they had carried out as part of the transport and cooperation.

Considering that the current operation has involved many people and also needs the assistance of Molfi, Reins informed Hua Shao of the matter of Alka.

"Alka? Arka ......," Hua Shao pondered, "I seem to have seen its record before, but at that time it was just reading for amusement, and I didn't pay close attention to it. ”

Reins originally wanted to tell her that she had already read the relevant books and had mastered everything she could learn, but when she saw the unchangeable expression on Hua Shao's face that she had made up her mind to turn over her library, she silently swallowed those words back.

"I'll check this matter again later, but why didn't you tell me about it before?"

Hua Shao pretended to be angry and stretched out his finger to poke Rhine's forehead, while Rhines pursed her lips and tilted her head to the side.

"I haven't figured it out yet, and it's still a matter that can't be determined to be true, so I can't just tell you casually and say sorry I made a mistake, right?"

Hua Shao sighed faintly, suddenly opened his arms, and hung himself directly on Rhine's body. This sudden movement startled Reins, who almost lost control of her instinct and threw Hua Shao out.

"What are you doing—"

"I know you're worried about something, and I can't say you're wrong. Since I am serving as a military advisor to Molfi, I will have to give priority to Molfi when I encounter some things, which is a true fact, and I have nothing to refute. But——! ”

Speaking of this, Hua Shao's voice rose in an instant.

"You don't need to tell me about this as a mercenary or an ally of Murphy." She distanced herself from Rhines a little, and looked at Rhines with round eyes, "You're my sister!" The younger sister is in trouble and wants her sister to help her, which is a purely personal matter and does not need to rise to the family and mercenaries. ”

"I—I know, don't yell like that, right? Your door is still open, and you are not afraid of being heard and affecting your image......"

Reins shrank her head uncomfortably, even if she was forced to admit this sister by the other party in the way that completely ignored her indifference and just wanted to stick to her, she could never get used to this relationship, and it was more natural to get along as friends

"As long as you can remember, of course I won't yell at you."

Hua Shao let go of Rheins, and after standing firm on the ground, he reached out and nodded Rheins's nose again.

"Anyway, the more people there are, the faster things can get started, right? Fortunately, with Apaya by your side, you won't be too tired. ”

Rhines glared at Hua Shao, but the other party was unmoved, just smiled and walked around her back, pushing her in one direction, and the silver-haired woman could only follow her strength, but still turned her head to glance at her dissatisfiedly because of her abrupt behavior.

"Okay, don't stare at me." Hua Shao said in a rather brisk tone, "You should take care of your affairs, for example, deal with the guy who came to pick you up?" ”

"What?"

Reins subconsciously straightened her head back, and when she saw the blonde man at the door of Hua Shao's office, her expression froze for a moment.

"Well, I'm going to ask you to find another place."

Hua Shao pushed the reluctant Rheins all the way out of the door, and at the same time pushed Apaya out at the door, and then "snapped" and simply closed the door.

“……”

Is this the person who still claims to be his sister before?

Rhines secretly scolded the woman who was not so reliable at certain moments, but she refused to look at the person standing next to her, knowing that she had not yet forgiven him—he had not even done anything seriously for his sins!

So, without much thought, Reins decisively turned and took a step in the other direction.

But she didn't make it.

At the same time that the heat came from her right wrist, the heat source came to her side, making her feel the air around her become warm.

Hell, that's hell. Reins thought. Now that it was close to winter, she couldn't understand why the other party could always maintain such a temperature.

Ella once complained that Bora was as difficult to keep warm as an ice cube when it was cold, and Shuka and Imi would nest next to the stove in winter and refuse to leave, and the only person in the entire mercenary group who could dissipate heat all year round was Lilian, who only liked to use her limbs rather than her brain, which made Reins laugh at one point, this kind of physique is only possessed by fools.

But obviously, regardless of the rest of the engineer, at least his tech brain can't be classified as stupid.

"What are you thinking?"

Apaya's gentle question pulled Rhines back into her distant thoughts, she glanced at the other man's face, then looked down at the bony hand on her wrist, she didn't try to walk away anymore, only turned her face away from the direction where she couldn't see Apaya, and pursed her lips.

She seemed to hear a sigh behind her, and the heat on her wrist drained from her skin. She withdrew her right hand in front of her, and gently stroked the part she had just grabbed with her left hand, the temperature as if it was still on her wrist, making her feel a little burning.

Then, without any surprise at all, the cheeky engineer once again stuck to her like a kraft candy, making her feel as if she had entered a space surrounded by a stove.

Well, the behavior of the other party is not so annoying in this season either.

"Rhine, haven't you lost your breath yet?"

Oh, that's. This engineer clearly hasn't done anything, so why should she be angry?

"Obviously, I said it at the time, don't be angry with me because of what I said, right?"

Reins couldn't help but grind her teeth.

Who promised him? It's clear that he has been talking to himself all along!

“……”

Apaya didn't continue to speak, and Reins had thought he would say something to make her angry.

Don't think that she doesn't know what the other party's intentions are, isn't it just deliberately provoking her to make her willing to talk to him? Since you haven't achieved your goal yet, why don't you stop it?

"I'm sorry I pushed you too much."

Apaya's sudden apology made Reins feel a little dazed, no matter how much the other had changed since the two were together, she always believed that the other party still had a hard stubbornness in her bones.

"I just think that way you can realize the problem more quickly and solve it most effectively...... But I realized that this isn't an engineering problem that needs to be solved urgently, and it's not a machine that doesn't need to think about how the process will affect you. ”

Although she felt a little angry that Apaya was only now aware of the problem, Apaya's ability to think of this without her reminder made her feel softened inside.

No, you can't cheapen him so easily, otherwise he will still revert to his old ways after apologizing this time.

"We still have a lot of time to slowly change, right?"

They still have ...... For a long time.

This sentence touched her again.

They would spend their lives together, and they wouldn't need to worry about Apaya leaving, as long as she looked after Apaya's safety. And no matter what she asks of Apaya, she doesn't have to worry about the other party getting irritated and losing patience.

Thinking of this, Reins once again spit on her soft-heartedness, but she still decided not to get along with herself.

Of course, only to a certain extent.

The silver-haired woman glanced sideways at the man behind her, only to see that the other person was looking intently at her face, and when she turned her face back, those light brown eyes seemed to light up.

However, the mercenary still refused to open the haughty lips, she just looked into the engineer's eyes again, and did not smile, but relaxed her body slightly, leaning into the warm embrace in the direction of the other party's force.

Reins squinted her eyes and thought for a moment about Apaya's tentative face, but finally raised her chin and did not refuse the other party's closeness.

As Morfi and Fili made further progress, Smofa was not reduced to an "idle clergyman" again, and consciously provided what he could find.

"Based on the information you have so far, it is believed that the branch of Rossos where Talos stayed before has received a general order to retrieve certain supplies and books, and has brought Prosoia to this branch to transport the supplies. There should be no problem at this point. ”

Smofa spread out a partial map on the table in the conference room, drawing out the locations of the branch and Prosoya.

"According to the information provided by Mr. Crado, it is still the headquarters of Roses, not the people of that branch, who are in contact with Prosoia. The only way the branch communicates with Prosoya is to go to the designated location to obtain supplies and transport them to their destination. ”

Epivos Clado nodded, and picked up the topic.

"We can't actually see what it is, we can't even know the route. Everything is in a hard case and doesn't make any noise, and the weight is consistent. The route we walk will always be obscured by the yellow sand, and as soon as we return to Prosoya, our memories will be blurred. I've also tried to leave markers on my path, but they've all been cleaned up. ”

Reins raised an eyebrow, her chin in her hand, and asked in a long voice.

"So—what information do you have to provide? Since you don't remember anything, you don't know what? ”

Epivos looked at her cautiously, as if he wanted to twitch the corners of his mouth, but held back.

"Even if we can't see it, we can find some traces. After we worked together a lot, in order to appease us, they showed us a certain 'benefit'. ”

He still couldn't control his expression and gave a mocking smile - though he chose the timing to make it seem like he was targeting Roseos.

"It's so large that you can even buy the amount of spar in a country, as well as ...... Ah, that's right, I was left alone with the 'honor' – I visited the research plant where their supplies were transported. ”

Epivos looked directly at Rheins, his eyes subtly revealing a hint of malice.

"I think the scene in that factory is no stranger to His Excellency Fili, who was one of them. A stout cylinder enclosed by glass walls, filled with humans, and some of them with ...... limbs"

As Rhine's face darkened, the corners of Epivos's mouth rose in an upturned arc in bad faith.

"It's already a part of a monster."
