Giving up on the idea of resting, Shirou carried the still sowhat dazed Rosmontis on his back and walked out of the room together with Blaze.
What just happened needed to be briefly explained to Kal'tsit and Amiya… but his mind was still a bit chaotic right now, so he would wait until he sorted out his thoughts before saying anything.
As for that bullet from earlier, he had left it in the room. He would take it out to study when he had ti.
Having Rosmontis around was fine, but if Blaze was there, Shirou felt like he would go insane first.
This person was far too talkative, on the sa level as Taiga.
No, she might have already surpassed Taiga.
In every sense, Blaze was basically an upgraded version of Taiga.
Of course, this "upgrade" referred to the bad aspects. Whether it was drinking or being noisy and annoying, Blaze far exceeded Taiga.
Though she still could not compare to Penguin Logistics. The main issue was that Shirou had a headache right now and could not handle noise.
Just now, he did not simply exchange a few blows with the opponent and learn techniques. He had concentrated all his attention, using his body to feel, his magic circuits to resonate, his eyes to morize movents—
And most importantly, using his brain to think.
He also had to deal with those fragnted and scattered mories.
As for everything else, although his first impression of that person was not great, it was still better than soone who swung a blade at him the mont they t.
"Sigh…"
Thinking of this, Shirou could not help but let out a sigh.
As for whether he was sighing over his rare chance to rest, or sothing else, no one but Shirou himself would know.
"What are you sighing for? You should always keep a smile and greet people with one! And you are carrying Rosmontis too! You cannot show a weak side in front of a little kitty, you know?"
Hearing the sigh from behind, Blaze imdiately turned around and walked backward while speaking to Shirou.
"Right, right. Also, stop walking like that. It is dangerous."
After being lightly lectured by Blaze, Shirou did not think much of it. Right now, he was like Exusiai after finishing work, in a completely lazy state.
No, saying that would be unfair to laziness. At least sothing lazy could still be useful, but Exusiai just stayed on the sofa all day besides constantly talking about apple pie.
If she did not at least keep up so exercise, she might have already turned into a chubby angel.
…For so reason, Shirou felt that his thoughts had beco more aggressive?
It must be an illusion. Even if it was true, it had to be forced out of him. It was not his problem.
"Hehe, do not worry! I am a professional—ah!"
After being corrected by Shirou, Blaze did not get angry and remained cheerful.
Shirou's reactions were just too interesting, which was why she kept following Rosmontis.
Of course, the premise was that the little kitty was there. Otherwise, she still did not quite understand how to get along with Shirou.
Be a bad friend? Shirou clearly looked like the type who hoped others would behave properly, so that would not work.
Be a normal friend? He seed easy to talk to, but actually interacting with him felt a bit strange.
Only when he was with Rosmontis did that strange feeling disappear. If not for occasionally noticing Shirou deliberately shifting his gaze upward, she would have already reported this to the Lungn Guard Departnt.
Blaze had not listened to Shirou's warning and was thinking about other things, and that was when the accident happened.
She felt like she had bumped into soone, and the impact felt especially bad, as if it was a child.
"I told you it was dangerous."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Shirou sighed helplessly. Blaze had been walking along the edge of the corridor, which happened to be a blind spot in his vision. Previously, he had warned her in advance to avoid accidents, but this ti he could not see, and sothing happened.
It could only be said that being overly confident was not a good thing.
Quickly moving past Blaze, Shirou saw the victim sitting on the ground.
"Ugh…"
It looked like a child, with golden hair and green eyes. Judging from the ears, she should be a Vulpo.
After all, he had only seen this type of ears on Sussurro who was a Vulpo.
What stood out even more was the tail behind her and there were nine of them in total.
This was probably the most unusual trait Shirou had seen since coming to this land.
But it was also the most familiar, since before coming here, such things were often shown on television.
Although none of them were this small.
"Are you alright?"
He adjusted Rosmontis slightly on his back to make sure she would not fall, then crouched down to help pick up the things that had fallen.
"I..I am fine! I can do it myself!"
Even after suddenly being hit by a large figure halfway through walking, the other party did not cry or make a fuss, and instead calmly began picking up her things.
Still, Shirou could see that she was a little flustered.
"Sorry, sorry! Little Suzuran, are you okay?"
Blaze, who had been stunned for a while, finally snapped back to reality and felt extrely embarrassed.
Just a mont ago she said she was a professional, and the next mont she knocked soone over and it was Suzuran.
At this mont, Blaze could only hope that Suzuran had not been hurt. Otherwise, the fanatics in the dical departnt would definitely start targeting her.
Days without alcohol are sothing she simply cannot accept!
"I am fine, Sister Blaze, but please be more careful when walking next ti. It would be bad if you bumped into a doctor or another patient."
Facing Blaze's apology, Suzuran replied with a smile.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Shirou found himself wondering why, even though Blaze was older, it felt as if Suzuran was the more mature one.
Though Blaze had brought it upon herself, and Suzuran was not wrong. If she had bumped into those people, it would have been a real problem.
"I know I was wrong… stop lecturing , please stop!"
Being lectured by soone younger than herself was indeed painful, especially when the fault truly lay with her.
And Shirou had already reminded her earlier… co to think of it, Shirou also seed much younger than her.
On top of that, the little kitty had been woken up. At this mont, Rosmontis was lying on Shirou's back, looking at her with a puzzled expression, making Blaze feel an intense sense of guilt.
Sorry, she was guilty.
Being lectured by a group of people younger than herself was truly heartbreaking.
In the end, she could only cover her two pairs of ears, pretending she could not hear anything, trying to escape reality.
"Sorry about that. She is a bit careless. Here are all your things."
Watching Blaze escape from reality firsthand, Shirou silently finished picking everything up and handed it to Suzuran.
As for Blaze, he had already given up on her. He would just leave her to Amiya for judgnt later.
"I understand. Sister Blaze is quite famous in Rhodes Island, and compared to those rumors, she seems much more approachable in person."
After taking the items and tidying them up a bit, confirming nothing was damaged, Suzuran finally let out a sigh of relief and responded to Shirou.
"…What rumors?"
Hearing this, Shirou beca interested. Nothing was more uplifting than hearing gossip about soone he knew.
Right now, he really needed sothing to lift his spirits.
"Let think. She can climb a forty-story building with her bare hands, jump from four hundred ters without injury, scare Originium Slugs to death with a roar, drink ten liters of strong alcohol, is three ters tall, and can dance on the antenna at the top of the Rhodes Island bridge… there are many more, but I cannot rember the rest."
Seeing Shirou's interest, Suzuran raised her hand and began listing them, folding a finger with each point.
It was like reciting sothing from mory.
Though what she was reciting… was not exactly useful.
"That is impressive. I cannot believe you rember so many."
Aside from admiration, Shirou could not think of any other words.
After all, even after hearing it once, he could not rember much. He only felt that the "ultimate creature" she described must be unbelievably powerful.
Oh, it was Blaze? Then never mind.
"Hehe… I just hear people talk about it often, so I naturally rembered."
Hearing Shirou's praise, Suzuran felt a little embarrassed.
"By the way, are these being delivered to the dical departnt for Doctor Kal'tsit?"
Noticing her embarrassnt, Shirou decided to change the topic to the items in her hands.
From the outer packaging, they looked like docunts, and Kal'tsit's na was written on the outside, so Shirou assud they were ant for her.
"Yes, I think they are last month's budget docunts."
Suzuran nodded obediently.
"That works out. I happen to have sothing to discuss with Doctor Kal'tsit. We can take these over for you. Consider it compensation for Blaze knocking you over."
Although it was Blaze's fault, Shirou felt that he was also partly responsible for not stopping her in ti, so he made the suggestion.
It was on the way for him anyway.
"Alright… then I will trouble you!"
After considering the other docunts she still had to deliver, Suzuran accepted Shirou's proposal.
This way, she would not be late for class!
And with Blaze and Rosmontis around, there would definitely be no problem.
"Be careful on the way! Do not get knocked over by another big cat!"
After taking the docunts from Suzuran, Shirou watched her leave in the opposite direction and reminded her.
Of course, he was mostly teasing a certain overconfident big cat who had just knocked soone over.
"We could still have a good conversation if you did not bring that up."
Blaze had recovered a bit, but her face was still slightly red from embarrassnt.
"If I do not ntion it a few more tis, how will you rember… Oh, Rosmontis, you are awake? Do you want to get down and walk?"
While muttering about Blaze's behavior, Rosmontis on Shirou's back tapped his shoulder, drawing his attention.
His previously stern deanor softened instantly, making Blaze feel like she was being treated differently.
Well, fair enough. The little kitty was just too adorable. Even she herself spoiled Rosmontis a lot.
Faced with this, Blaze could only console herself like this.
After getting down, Rosmontis seed to notice that sothing was off with Blaze. She imdiately ran over, grabbed her hand.
"Waaah! As expected, you are the best, little kitty!"
Noticing Rosmontis' small gesture, Blaze was deeply moved.
It was the kind where even the surrounding temperature seed to rise by a few degrees.
"Let us go. Blaze and I will wait for you outside."
Rosmontis was already used to Blaze acting like this.
Seeing her like that, Shirou could only sigh at how difficult everyone's life was. After picking up the docunts and checking that nothing had been left on the ground, the three of them headed toward the dical departnt.
As for why Shirou wanted to see Doctor Kal'tsit, Blaze was curious but did not ask. After all, that was Doctor Kal'tsit.
She also did not know when Shirou's relationship with Kal'tsit had beco so good. If she rembered correctly, back in Lungn, Kal'tsit had been quite wary of him.
It could only be said that Shirou was the kind of person anyone could get along with if he wanted to.
After watching Shirou enter the dical departnt, Blaze and Rosmontis sat outside to wait.
"Why… why was it not Miss Suzuran who delivered this?"
On the other side, after Shirou explained his purpose while holding the docunts, the dical operator in charge of reception suddenly looked grief-stricken.
"…I happened to run into her halfway. Since I also had business with Doctor Kal'tsit, I brought them along."
Seeing her expression, Shirou decided not to expose Blaze.
Although it might have been amusing, he was not that twisted to seek entertainnt from that.
If he did not already know what the docunts were, Shirou might have suspected that Suzuran was delivering confidential materials.
"Go inside. Doctor Kal'tsit is in there."
After her brief mont of grief, the dical operator returned to calm, as if the person who had just cried out was not her at all.
"…"
Even though he was already used to the strange people on this land, Shirou still found it odd no matter how many tis he saw it.
After getting permission, Shirou knocked on the door before opening it.
He had been here a few tis before, and Kal'tsit had said that when she was busy, she might not hear the knocking, so he could enter directly after knocking.
Efficiency above all.
"Shirou? Why are you the one delivering these docunts?"
Hearing the door open, Kal'tsit noticed Shirou and the items in his hands.
She had been waiting for these materials, and also wondering whether there would be any follow-up issues on Shirou's side. She did not expect both to arrive at once.
"I got these on the way here and I also have sothing to discuss with you."
Placing the docunts on the table, Shirou sat directly across from her.
"Why do you look like soone who has seen through the aning of life? Did Amiya's mories flow into you?"
Noticing his unusual state, Kal'tsit took a closer look and gave her assessnt.
After all, she had seen more people than Shirou had als, so she could make such judgnts.
