Chapter 102

She genuinely believed that Huang was the kind of person who would actually do that.

"I understand, I understand. Um... would it be convenient for you to leave your contact information?"

After indicating to Minmin that he understood, Huang turned to Shirou and said...

"Won't that be too much trouble?"

Shirou felt that happiness had come quite suddenly, but after thinking about it, he was a little worried that he might cause trouble for the other person.

"Don't worry, that's what Rhodes Island does: treat infected people and improve their situation."

Having solved the problem, Huang relaxed completely, leaned back in his chair, waved his hand, and said.

"Just like Miss Huang said, as long as you let us know beforehand, it's fine. After all, this place isn't operational yet, and we might not be here every day. I'm a medic from Rhodes Island, you can call me Minmin. May I ask your name?"

Compared to Huang, Minmin added a few words and introduced herself.

"My Shirou is Emiya! Don't get me wrong!"

Shirou introduced himself, but since Rosemary had been calling him by the wrong name, he emphasized it.

"Eh... Oh, I get it."

While Huang was still pondering why Shirou had emphasized this matter, he understood after silently repeating the other person's name a few times in his mind.

"Okay, Mr. Shirou, please contact us beforehand."

After handing over the contact information to Shirou, Minmin went on to attend to her own business.

After all, her main purpose was to let Huang collect Originium Arts, and having others treat her was just her duty.

The vast majority of Rhodes Island's medical operators become medical operators with the intention of saving other infected people.

"Hmm... does this count as a return?"

Rosemary, who had moved to sit next to Shirou, looked at the contact information in Shirou's hand and asked a question.

Although it wasn't quite what she expected, the result seemed to be better.

"Of course it counts, you did me a huge favor."

After putting away what he was holding, Shirou smiled and gently patted Rosemary's head.

"That would be great."

Rosemary squinted her eyes, looking completely blissful.

"Sigh... the kitten has grown up."

Looking at Rosemary from across the room, Huang felt that she had really grown up and reached this age.

Girls in this age group always have a few little thoughts.

The person in front of her, Ami... oops, Shirou, seemed like a nice person, but her hairstyle and appearance reminded her of someone who was difficult to get along with.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. It's getting late, and I need to go back and prepare dinner."

Shirou glanced at the clock on the wall and said.

If I run back now to get my bicycle and then go back to prepare the ingredients, I should still be able to make it in time.

"Hmm..."

Rosemary was a little reluctant, but there were still people waiting for Shirou to return, so she couldn't be willful.

"I will come again tomorrow."

Looking at Rosemary's expression, Shirou recalled that when he was about to leave Fuyuki Store some time ago, most of the children had the same expression.

"We have to leave Lungmen today."

Rosemary shook her head and said that there might not be many chances to meet Shirou again.

After all, she is an operator of Rhodes Island, and there are many things that need to be done by her, and she also needs to receive treatment on Rhodes Island.

The reason I came to Lungmen this time was because Huang found an excuse to send something over and brought her along as well.

They said it's not fun to go out alone.

"I see... Well, there's nothing I can do about it then. I'll probably stay in Lungmen for a while. You can come find me again later."

Upon hearing Rosemary's words, Shirou thought for a moment, then borrowed a piece of paper, wrote down his contact information, and handed it to Rosemary.

"Um."

Rosemary nodded and took the note.

However, she knew very well that the chances of her coming to Lungmen again were slim.

"Don't worry, I'll bring you here again sometime. The wine in Lungmen is pretty good."

Looking at Rosemary's expression, Huang could naturally guess what she was thinking, so he promised to bring Rosemary with him next time he escaped to Lungmen.

The wine here in Lungmen is cheap and plentiful, so she wishes she could come here to restock every time instead of buying from that unscrupulous merchant, Bloodfiend.

"Real?"

Upon hearing Huang's words, Rosemary's face was filled with anticipation.

"Really, but don't tell anyone else, or it'll be too late once it gets to Dr. Kal'tsit."

"Okay, I won't tell anyone else."

Two cats, one big and one small, successfully completed a transaction.

The reason it's called a transaction is that as long as the promise remains, the big cat can pet the little cat a few more times.

"Then we'll contact you then. If you can't reach me by phone, you can ask Penguin Logistics."

Seeing that Rosemary had released her grip on him, Shirou said goodbye to Rosemary, Blaze, and Minmin before leaving.

After watching Shirou leave, Huang hurriedly grabbed Rosemary and pressed her into a chair.

"There were outsiders around, so I couldn't deal with you. Now that they're gone, you should be asking me why you were wandering around alone."

Huang's expression was different from his previous playful smile; it was now quite solemn.

After all, Rosemary's behavior was very dangerous, but considering that this was not a mission, Huang did not overly criticize her.

But the questions that need to be asked still need to be asked, since Rosemary has never disappeared without a word before.

"I sensed the presence of Wuming."

Rosemary blinked and said.

"Sigh, although they look very similar, they're not the same person. Besides, that guy is already..."

Upon hearing Rosemary's explanation, Huang sighed and said...

It's no wonder Rosemary was mistaken, since she had just thought the same thing, only about the appearance.

Moreover, Rosemary and that guy have some connection, and they have some similar memory problems. It can be said that besides Amiya, Rosemary is the person on Rhodes Island who is most familiar with him.

However Wuming had already left more than four months ago.

She learned of this from Amiya had witnessed the other person's departure.

Huang could understand that Amiya must be feeling very upset, after all, they had been companions for almost two years.

Rosemary was somewhat discouraged by this and was depressed for a while, but she trained even harder afterward.

Although Huang was a bit too blunt, she didn't want to hurt Rosemary's feelings, so she didn't say what she wanted to say later.

"I know."

Rosemary understood what Huang wanted to say, whether it was said aloud or not; she knew it all.

As Dr. Kal'tsit said, try not to treat the Rhodes Island operators as family, because they may leave at any time, just like flowers in a vase, which will wither if you are not careful.

But they were all she had left.

So at that time, she just suddenly sensed a very familiar aura, which is why she chased after it.

Upon seeing the owner of the aura, she knew it was merely a similar aura.

She didn't treat Shirou as a substitute for Wuming. Shirou was Shirou, Wuming was Wuming. Although their auras were similar, she could tell them apart.

"But if Shirou knew you associated him with that gloomy and dark guy, he'd probably hate you, right?"

Seeing the atmosphere gradually becoming heavy, Huang quickly changed the subject.

"Um?"

Rosemary tilted her head in confusion.

"Little kitty, you don't want to be disliked, right?"

Huang's smile gradually turned wicked as he stretched out his wicked little hand.

"Huang, a bad guy."

Rosemary, after hearing Huang's words, pouted and ran over to Minmin, who was busy nearby, trying to rely on the strength of the only adult present to stop the big cat's conspiracy.

But it's not very useful; there's basically no suspense when a combat-type Elite Operator faces off against a regular medical operator.

115 Shirou, are you heartbroken?

Evening, Penguin Logistics dormitory.

Shirou rode his bicycle back to his dormitory quickly within safe driving limits. Although it was a little late, it wasn't too late.

"Shirou, you've been staying out late lately. Are you... * Laterano- sama* Is it an enemy attack?... Ah? It's you, Shirou!"

Upon hearing the door open, Exusiai stopped playing the tower defense mobile game she was playing and said...

But when she turned her head and saw Shirou carrying a large bag of ingredients at the door, a question mark appeared above the halo above her head.

Exusiai's first reaction was that someone wanted to come and cause trouble for Penguin Logistics.

Then, after calming down a bit and seeing the other person clearly, I felt relieved.

"* Longmen Curses * Shirou, are you heartbroken? Why did you get this haircut?"

Croissant also reacted very Croissant, just like Exusiai.

After all, Shirou's current hairstyle... is a bit avant-garde?

It doesn't really suit Shirou at all. I wonder what triggered Shirou to cut his hair like that.

Sora and Texas, who were standing to the side, were not as excited as the two, but their eyes were still full of curiosity as they looked at Shirou.

"I said I'd cut it shorter, but when I came to my senses, it turned out like this."

Shirou felt that his head had been the subject of much criticism, and silently added that store to his blacklist in his mind.

If one person says there's a problem, you can take it into consideration; if two people say there's a problem, you can question yourself; but if three people say there's a problem, unless it's intentional sabotage, then there really is a problem.

However, he was the only one who didn't go, since he was the only one who was traumatized by the incident.

"Eh... is this the shop I recommended before?"

Upon hearing Shirou's words, Sora assumed that there was a problem with the barbershop she had recommended.

"No, I went to a smaller shop. It seems like all the owners there cut their hair like this, so it's just a habit. Let's talk later. I'm going to make dinner now."

Shirou explained briefly, putting Sora at ease.

He knew that Sora could be quite sentimental at times, and even if the incident was indeed caused by the shop Sora recommended, Wei Tigong would claim it was caused by another shop.

After the explanation, Shirou hurriedly entered the kitchen with a bag, and soon everyone at Penguin Logistics could hear the sound of water and very fast chopping.

Do you believe it?

Croissant turned to ask her teammates.

However, when she asked the question, she already had the answer in her heart.

She definitely believed what he said, after all, Shirou didn't seem like the type to lie.

"If you don't believe him, there's nothing you can do about it, it just feels a bit strange."

In response to Croissant's question, Exusiai rolled her eyes.

This question is meaningless; it's just a hair. Why make it sound like some kind of internal conflict within the team?

Is the Penguin Logistics Texas team facing a crisis of trust simply because one of its members cut their hair?
