You Have a New Job (Continued)

"That means there's dissatisfaction."

The priestess's pink animal ears trembled, but her clear and gentle eyes seemed to pierce through Otto's mask.

"Tsk!"

Otto curled his lip, thinking to himself, "This is troublesome."

Yae Sakura is becoming increasingly accustomed to modern life and her Valkyrie, but at the same time, her intelligence is also becoming more apparent. Unless it's a carefully crafted deception, it's easy to see through it at a glance.

How the hell did Kallen manage to get such a beautiful and intelligent girl like that?

Oh, right, Kallen is a very genuine person. Even if you see right through her, it only makes her more endearing. Unlike Otto, who harbors a deep darkness, this is Kallen's strength. Never mind then.

Otto was preparing some comforting words for Yae Sakura when he heard her sigh softly:

"Sigh, if it weren't for the base monitoring Benales right next to me, I probably would have had to stand in the snow until I was completely buried by the blizzard before the plane that was supposed to pick me up arrived. After all, I don't know the way."

"Ahem! Speaking of which, Little Theresa has been asking about your recent situation quite a bit lately. How about we arrange for you to visit St. Freya sometime next time, and you can also meet those children you like?"

Otto decisively betrayed his beloved granddaughter.

Yae Sakura blinked innocently, then looked at Otto with an indescribably subtle gaze, uttering words as sharp as a sword:

"Mr. Otto, you scoundrel."

"Cough cough cough!!!"

"Then we'll forgive Mr. Otto."

Yae Sakura stuck out her tongue, her resentful expression vanishing, replaced by a touch of playfulness, making her as innocent and adorable as a girl next door.

LOL, this is clearly a good thing.

Careful consideration and meticulous attention are needed when dealing with outsiders who require both vigilance and exploitation. Conversely, it's easy to overlook certain details when dealing with people you can truly trust.

Otto's oversight suggests that he has placed Yae Sakura on a list in his mind that is different from most people. At least, compared to Delta, whom he both uses and guards against, their closeness is definitely quite different.

Seeing the little witch sipping her tea with a gentle smile, Otto exaggeratedly patted his chest, displaying a dramatic expression of relief, and said:

"That's wonderful, thank you for your generosity, Sakura-sama."

"Pfft! Mr. Otto, that's enough. There's a limit to being extravagant."

"Hehe, alright, let's get down to business. Sakura, after actually interacting with them, what are your impressions of the World Serpent executives?"

Otto suppressed his smile and asked seriously, trying to get more information.

Yae Sakura also dropped her joking expression, thought seriously for a while, and then slowly replied:

"That Doctor. Jackal is very strong. I don't know how to describe it specifically, but I can feel her power and confidence, so she should be difficult to deal with. As for the other Miss Raven, she is obviously well-trained and has a good mentality, but she shouldn't be too difficult to deal with—well, it might be a bit rude to say that, but I think she's about the same level as Rita?"

It can be described as quite vivid and lifelike.

At least Otto understood Raven's exact level immediately.

"Very strong, not easy to deal with... It seems they are not the two pure researchers from Anti-Entropy."

Otto pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"Never mind, it's not important. They're just pawns after all. What's important is their overall organizational decisions and actions."

"That is, that Venerable Lord?"

"Yes, Venerable Lord Kevin, he's similar to Su, whom you've met, a warrior left behind by the Previous Civilization. The difference is that, according to the information I've gathered, Su was just a member of the Previous Civilization, while Kevin was the strongest of the Previous Civilization. Judging from Skyfire's performance, he's probably the strongest in the Current Civilization as well, so strong that he's unbeatable."

Otto sighed, rubbing his forehead in distress.

This is what they call a scholar meeting a soldier. No matter how much he schemes or reasons he uses, if the other side is stubborn enough, then nothing he does will work.

"Mr. Otto, are you troubled?"

"Of course, it should be a monster stronger than Skyfire in theory, but the thing I need is in its hands. How can I not be troubled?"

"Well, I don't really understand, but just call me if you need anything, and I'll do my best."

"Heh, you can't beat him. You'll be even more powerless than when facing Skyfire. Aren't you afraid?"

"Even if we can't beat them, we have to do our best. If we're already entangled with Mr. Otto, then there's really nothing we can do!"

Yae Sakura teased with a smile, but her gentle, watery eyes were full of seriousness.

Otto had no shortage of people willing to die for him, and he genuinely respected those who were brave. But in the end, none of them could compare to the obsession in his heart, like fleeting traces in the snow, gone and gone, rarely leaving a true mark on his soul.

But at this moment, he gazed into Yae Sakura's eyes for a long time before revealing a genuine, lighthearted smile.

The North America headquarters of Anti-Entropy boasts an extremely high level of mechanical automation.

On this day, the roar of fighter jets grew louder as they approached. What should have been a normal scene of people coming and going was instead marked by the presence of almost all the most important figures in the base at the welcoming area.

"Gah~~"

Iserin sat on a movable stool with mechanical tentacles that she had recently handcrafted, similar to those of Mobius. She slowly sipped her coffee, her head nodding slightly, with dark shadows around her eyes, making one suspect that she might fall asleep at any moment.

"Haha~~"

Tesla yawned too.

These past few days they've been busy with various re-examinations in the Abyssal City, and their rest time hasn't been very long.

However, no one can get involved to the extent that Doctor. Iserin did.

Tesla wiped away the tears of sleepiness from the corners of his eyes, leaned to the side, rested his elbow on Iserin's head, and said:

"Seriously, can you even stay awake? Was it really necessary to rush over to pick up that woman? She's not some big deal."

"Cocolia is a bit petty; she might not remember who came to pick her up, but she'll definitely remember who didn't."

"Small-minded? Hahaha, that's true... No, why are you afraid of her? You're under our protection now!"

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that it's unnecessary. Cocolia is too troublesome when she's being so calculating."

Iserin rubbed her sleepy eyes and said listlessly.

Seeing that Tesla still had a defiant expression, Iserin naturally added to the setting:

"Although Cocolia is domineering and dictatorial, she is actually quite easy to get along with. As long as it makes sense, she will keep sending funds, materials, equipment, and manpower. The only bad thing is that she likes to control me. I have to listen to her when I sleep and rest. If I violate her rules, she will knock me out at best, and shut down my equipment at worst... Sigh, I have complained to her many times, but she just can't understand the difficulties of researchers. She always tells me to listen to her."

Iserin lives up to her persona as a reckless, fanatical scientist.

After a moment of silence, Tesla said blankly:

"Although it's rare, I feel she was right this time."

"Hey? Dr. Tesla, how can you say that? Don't you understand the value of inspiration, or the importance of coherent thinking?"

"Don't look at me like that! You're the one who's being unreasonable, Iserin! Even the most precious inspiration is useless if you ruin your health!"

"Dr. Tesla, I thought you and Dr. Einstein would be my confidants, but it seems you also have the flaws of mediocrity!"

Iserin puffed out her cheeks and stared at Tesla and Einstein with a pained look in her eyes.

Einstein silently looked away. She had already understood Iserin's unusual behavior, and on this issue, she simply gave up arguing. After all, Ninti's tail was effective, so she let it be.

Tesla raised an eyebrow in annoyance and pinched Iserin's cheek.

"Mediocre? Are you provoking this genius's intelligence? Don't forget who helped you solve 1,200 engineering problems these past few days!"

"Even if... even if violence is used! I will stick to my point of view! Inspiration and coherence are the most important things. As for the body, just give it some stimulants. Anyway, we'll all be sleeping sooner or later, so what's the point of sleeping now!?"

"Believe it or not, I'm here right now... Hey, we're here!"

The playful banter between the two came to an abrupt end with the sound of the fighter jet landing.

The group started to go and greet them.

Amidst the clamor of the wind and waves, the ruler of Siberia, the master of the East Sea Base, the semi-emperor of the Far East, the most powerful and ruthless executor of the Anti-Entropy organization, the controller of Anti-Entropy's wealth, Ninti's adoptive mother, the great La Signora Cocolia, stepped off the plane with elegance and grace.
