1. Training

25 lines

Awakener arrived at the Preparation room and saw Sova and Snezhana training.

Snezhana

Look, Sova, the captain is coming back over there!

Sova

The same trick has been used too many times! Snezhana!

Watch this!

Snezhana

Ouch ouch ouch!

It's true! The captain really came back.

Sova

Do you still want to use this trick to launch a sneak attack?

Awakener

Well, Sova, Snezhana, I'm back.

Sova

Captain?!

When did you come back?

Awakener

Just now, when Snezhana said I was coming back, I had just arrived.

Snezhana

So, I didn't lie this time, Sova, you just ambushed!

Sova

This is the punishment for your previous pranks on me.

Awakener

By the way, why haven't I seen Eriri?

Snezhana

Aiken has several research projects that are short-staffed, so they took Eriri away, saying they would borrow her for a few days.

Until now, it hasn't been returned. Looking at the current situation, it seems that Eriri won't be able to come back in a short time.

Sova

How is the captain's stay at Panther's place? Has he been treated unfairly or suffered any grievances?

Snezhana

Look at that big banker's appearance, the captain must be more comfortable living there than in Teslovik~

The life of the rich is really good.

Awakener

It's not like I've completely lost my freedom. Apart from the time spent on trading massages, I can manage the rest of my time freely.

The main issue is that I'm not sure how to face Dr. Aiken, after all, I initially agreed to support her, but later chose Fenriru.

Sova

Have you seen Dr. Aiken?

Awakener

Not yet, I just came back.

Sova

So that's why, no wonder you have this kind of mood.

Snezhana

In fact, Dr. Aiken...

2. Stage 163-10, after the battle

Ratatoskr

Dr. Aiken, long time no see.

Aiken

Oh, it's the little squirrel, long time no see.

Why are you here in Teslovik... Is there any news from Bifrost?

Ratatoskr

Ah... I originally planned to tell Fenriru-sama after she finished her work, but I didn't expect Dr. Aiken to notice it.

I do have some news.

Aiken

Let's go find Fenriru then.

Ratatoskr

In fact, I have already looked for Lord Fenriru, but she seems to be too busy and not very willing to communicate with me...

I didn't expect that after offending her in the past, she would hold a grudge for so long.

Aiken

Have you offended Fenriru?

Ratatoskr

Well, in the past, Lord Fenriru had conducted some dangerous experiments, and I was responsible for assessing the risk level of some of these experiments...

Aiken

You rejected Fenriru's experiment? That's not enough to make her hold a grudge for so long. Is there anything else?

Ratatoskr

Well, at that time, I didn't have the ability to persuade Lord Fenriru, so I took out the photos of the children Lord Fenriru took care of at the orphanage.

I know I went a bit too far, but after all, it was my mission.

Aiken

...You actually dared to threaten Fenriru with the children, that's really bold of you. The fact that she didn't kick you out on the spot is already a display of restraint.

Alright, just let me know if there is any intel.

The relationship between you two might be difficult to mend.
