In Gionne's underground research institute, Rhine unceremoniously usurped the institute's No. 1 laboratory, and the researchers were not surprised at all. They had long been accustomed to the mercenary being in their research institute, and had tacitly left Lab 1 to her and their chief.

The silver-haired mercenary threw the space bag onto the table and threw himself into the soft chair. She leaned her head back in her chair, her mind staring freely at the ceiling.

Tracing traces through objects wasn't impossible, but it was much more troublesome than going to the scene to track them down. In the process of transporting items, it is inevitable that they will be affected by the outside world, which will disturb the truly useful information.

The reason why she couldn't go to the scene was naturally not the joke Hua Shao said, she had other things to do, such as how to get Gia Duo and Lieta to sign a contract with Morfi-Fili that could not be exploited. The people of the Goddess Continent are blessed by the Goddess, regardless of whether the people of the family believe in the Goddess or not, their vows will be valid under the witness of the Church.

But Guiado and Lieta are different. They are from the Demon King Continent, and they are blessed by the Demon King, so the contract applicable to the Goddess Continent may not be able to be applied to the two of them, even if they violate the contract, I am afraid they will not be punished too much.

The only thing that can be of greatest effect to both continents is the contract attached to the creator god. Regardless of how humans choose their beliefs, the creator god Olotha is the reason why humans can exist here. However, now that the creator god has not performed miracles for thousands of years, it is not easy to establish a contract with the creator god as the main body.

The Church can witness any covenant as a believer in the creation of God and guarantee their validity, but it will never enter into a covenant with the other as one of them, because they cannot create a covenant that is blessed by the Creator God.

Therefore, the mercenaries can only try their best to explore the content of the contract from all directions, and strive to cover both the goddess and the demon king. It's not an easy thing to do, but the good thing is that they already have a precedent to follow. The contracts given by the nobles of the Demon King Continent were quite thorough, allowing her to understand how the Demon King Continent abides by the covenants of the gods in writing.

— but it's still a headache for her.

Reins Feeley was a mercenary, not a clerk. If she was good at that, then the diplomatic responsibility for the Fili Mercenary Corps would not be on Ella.

The silver-haired mercenary took a deep breath, and she tried to calm her irritability, spitting the stuffiness in her chest out of her mouth along with the cloudy gas.

There was a "click" from the door behind him, and even without looking back, Reins could tell who it was by the footsteps - and in any case, there would only be one person who would enter without knocking.

"Another task that gives you a headache?"

A familiar, warm breath enveloped her upper body from behind, and Reins closed her eyes at the comfortable temperature.

"I don't even know who is to blame for this." The mercenary said lazily, "Blame my two Fili for not having the ability to investigate?" Throw the heavy responsibility directly to my Shao? Or do you want to blame those people from the Demon King Continent who brought the troubles here? ”

The large, calloused hands touched her head, and they pressed her head with just the right amount of force, allowing her to get some relief from her headache.

"I don't think I can agree with any of these ideas." "Because you're going to refute them one by one, even if it's your own words." ”

Reines was amused by Apaya's tone, and she chuckled and took Apaya's palm, looking up at his face.

"You know me so well." She said happily, "So, are you ready to help me?" ”

Apaya's expression of obvious surprise turned from his chair to Rheins, who also tilted his head back and tilted his head slightly to look at the other.

"What can I do for you that none of your Fili can do, my mercenary miss?" He half-crouched down in front of Reins, looking intently at Reins' face, "Since I don't have any options to refuse, why don't you just tell me what do you need me to do?" ”

Reins leaned down and rested her elbows on the armrests. She cupped her face in the palm of her hand and watched Apaya's performance with interest.

"There's a lot you can do, Mr. Chief Engineer." Reines smirked and said, "Isn't it a great and difficult project to keep me in a good mood from a tiresome job?" ”

Apaya raised an eyebrow, he straightened his body, pinched Rheins' chin and gave her a passionate deep kiss.

"I admit it's great, but I don't think it's tough." The corners of his mouth raised a smug arc, "As long as I'm by your side, you won't be immersed in those unpleasant emotions." Just as when you're next to me, I can always easily pull my attention away from the project I've been obsessed with. ”

Reins raised her eyebrows at the same height, and she lifted Apaya's chin, bobbing his head slightly from side to side.

"Who the hell are you, and where did you replace that rigid engineer?"

Appaya rolled her eyes, and he took Rheins' hand to stop her.

"How can you still make such a statement today?" He said sarcastically, "When we first started dating, you already felt about it. ”

"Because every now and then you forget all those nice, playful sweet words you've said." The mercenary immediately fought back, "Then I'll be so angry that I don't want to agree to your proposal, now or in the future." ”

The threat was quite effective, and Apaya's face changed visibly.

"Don't say that you still hate the people from the Demon King Continent before they came." He reluctantly softened his tone, "Now you can even accept going out to fight with those two people." ”

"What does that mean?" Reins asked rhetorically, "Just because I can accept them now doesn't mean I have to forgive you for not being on my side, you fool engineer." ”

Apaya sighed, smiled wryly and took her hand, placing her long, soft palm against his cheek.

"I just didn't give my opinion, Rhine." He whispered, "Anyway, it's not appropriate for me to intervene when the chiefs are discussing things—I've always been out of the family's business, except for research. ”

But it is clear that this level of explanation is not enough for him to forgive, because Reins is only playing on the topic and trying to make him angry. There is no reason to be angry for the sake of being angry.

"Can you only use your mouth to express your position?" The mercenary snorted angrily, "Won't you come to me?" I know that if we are on your Morfi side, we won't catch up after we leave. ”

Apaya's eyes widened as he looked at Reins condemningly, biting her finger with vengeance and not too hard.

"Touch your conscience before you speak, mercenary." He snorted hard from his nose, "Didn't I catch up?" Who said they didn't want to see me, and just sealed off Filly's station and didn't let anyone else in? ”

Reins rolled her eyes and looked into the corner of the room.

"It's definitely not the door I locked." "I remember it was Leanne, because Ganillo's nose was almost squashed by the door," she said. ”

The corners of Apaya's mouth twitched, and finally let out a feeble sigh.

"And you're sure to agree with them." Reins pursed, "Because you're a stubborn guy who doesn't care about your own safety in order to get what you want." So you're going to support Molfi's risky decision, or you're going to be told 'you know what danger is, why do you do it?'" ”

The topic has developed so far that it has almost become the "vexatious" of mercenaries. But Apaya knew that this must not be spoken, or he would be subjected to a new crusade.

"It's my fault." He quickly judged the situation and made the most correct choice, "In the future, I will stand by your side and support you clearly, how about it?" ”

"Not good." Reinth pursed her lips, "It's like I'm forcing you to do something you don't want to do, and you're the chief engineer of Morfi, and if you go against your leaders in a high-profile manner, you'll give your members a bad head on the head, and I don't want to make you unhappy in Morfi because of me." ”

Appaya closed his eyes, and he couldn't help but wonder how the conversation had turned to such a dangerous level - oh yes, it was inevitable. When his mercenaries first mocked him, he should have been honest in trying to please her, so that he could avoid the current series of intractable problems.

But after all, why is she so difficult today? Rossos's affair didn't make her so irritated that she struggled with such a trivial matter......

Apaya's thought of a possibility for a moment, and he tentatively looked at Reinse's face.

"Have you been menstruating lately, Rhine?"

Rossos just need the right knife and don't care if their "knife" is in the best condition. The mercenaries only pay serious attention to their own recuperation after meeting Kate and Mette, who are their guardians, but the long-term life as a mercenary has always made them less concerned about this aspect of the content - in Reinse's own words, it will not affect the length of her life, so she does not need to be treated as much as other aspects.

It wasn't until they had solved Rossos' problem some time ago that Apaya got a long list of checklists and do's and don'ts from Mette to oversee Rhine's life and routine and certain women's unique conditioning issues. But it was a long process, because she hadn't paid serious attention to it for too long.

"So what?" She twisted her head to the side, "Are you suggesting that I'm playing tricks on you?" ”

This is already confirmed. Since their initial quarrels, and with the growing intimacy between them, the mercenary has become accustomed to taking all his temper and petty temperament upon him. But that's not to say he hates this, in fact, on the contrary, he enjoys the feeling of being trusted by the other party without reservation.

"No, I didn't mean that." He said gently, "Since that's the case, you can find Shao to have some more time." It's not a good time to put a lot of energy into these boring things, is it? ”

Apaya stood up and turned on the temperature-regulating device in the lab. Underground research institutes are always a cold environment, and when researchers are immersed in experiments, no one remembers whether they are hot or cold.

Looking at the mercenary nestled in his chair thinking about his proposal, Apaya quietly breathed a sigh of relief. This is an effective way to divert attention, and if the other person is in a not very happy mood, if she gets entangled in those things that are not clear, it will only make her more and more unhappy.

This is the experience he has rapidly accumulated over this period of time.
