Chapter 228

Upon hearing Amiya's words, the group stopped.

Huang, meanwhile, picked up his chopsticks and began devouring the remaining dishes on the table.

It has to be said that the restaurant Shirou chose is pretty good; it's almost comparable to Rhodes Island's cafeteria.

The price was a bit steep, but thankfully it was paid for by the company; otherwise, we'd probably have to tighten our belts for the next month after that meal.

Actually, after a night of activity, I was quite tired, especially since Rosemary is now sleeping very soundly.

After all, the other party is young and Originium Arts consume a lot of resources, which is understandable.

Besides, it's actually getting late now.

"Speaking of which, didn't you say you had some questions you wanted to ask? Why don't you ask them now?"

Shirou, who was checking every now and then to make sure the Rosemary wouldn't fall, suddenly remembered that Amiya seemed to have mentioned during the operation that they should have a proper talk about this.

"Oh? We're not in a rush for that. We need to prepare some things... and it's not really appropriate to talk about these things at the dinner table..."

Upon hearing Shirou's question, Amiya's rabbit ears perked up briefly before she answered and then slowly slid back down onto the back of her head.

Towards the end, Amiya's words became somewhat unclear.

"I see, I understand."

Seeing the other person's appearance, Shirou knew that the other person was tired and was just forcing himself to cheer up.

So he didn't press the matter further, but instead quietly observed the people at the table.

The trio wanted to drink but couldn't, and FrostNova started bothering her colleagues because she had no alcohol to drink.

A sleepy Amiya and a sweetly sleeping Rosemary.

It's hard to imagine that people like these would travel such a long distance to deal with something that has nothing to do with them.

Minmin seemed to have said that Rhodes Island was working hard to improve the treatment of infected people on this land.

It is not through violence, but through more moderate means.

They traveled extensively to treat infected individuals and assist with matters concerning both locals and those infected...

Even though it's a small thing, if it accumulates over time, it will eventually succeed, right?

Just as Shirou was quietly contemplating these matters, a new group of customers arrived at the shop.

"..."

Upon seeing the new guests, Shirou's first thought was that some of them looked familiar.

Two Lupo, a Fluorescent Lamp Person, a croissant... aren't these the Penguin Logistics team!?

Why are people already here!?

"Yo yo yo, Shirou, you're doing pretty well! We're starving in the dorms, and you're out eating and drinking well with a kitten by your side?"

With a malicious smile, Exusiai stepped forward and patted Shirou on the shoulder.

However, upon seeing the kitten lying on Shirou's lap, she deliberately lowered her voice.

"Exactly! Shirou, you can't do this! You should be leading us to eat!"

On the other side, Croissant also joined in.

"..."

Sensing the two guardians behind him, Shirou turned his gaze to the void.

Only Kong knows what happened to him here...

In other words, he was betrayed by Kong Chu!?

"Um... I accidentally let it slip."

He noticed Shirou looking at him and tapped his two empty index fingers together as if he were talking.

"I was pulled up and made to drive."

Texas, standing to the side, had "I want to sleep" written all over her face.

"Sigh... you guys find a seat, don't order too much, we're going to bed soon."

What could Shirou say? Since they'd all come knocking on his door, he couldn't just send them all away, could he?

Anyway, as long as the Shirou can't stop them from eating it.

At most, we'll start with tomorrow's lunch and dinner.

I heard that some kind of healthy meal is really popular in Lungmen lately?

A set meal consisting of chicken breast, salad, and vegetable and fruit juice.

How about we eat these for the next few days? Desserts and the like are all off-limits.

Anyway, compared to everyone at Penguin Logistics, he is quite accepting of these ingredients.

Croissant and Exusiai will probably be the first to find it unbearable, right?

After all, one of them can't live without meat, and the other feels that nothing tastes good without dessert.

212 Was it pushed into the abyss?

In the end, what Shirou feared still happened.

The four members of Penguin Logistics were completely drunk, which forced him to contact Isv to help find someone who could drive over.

It's his own fault for not having a driver's license.

Honestly... I heard Isv say that the group never got this drunk before when they were out.

Could it be that he's become addicted to alcohol?

That's not good. Becoming an alcoholic will only make you poorer!

Your already meager wallet will become even emptier!

While silently complaining in his heart, Shirou didn't dare to move an inch.

After all, Exusiai, Texas Croissant, and Izumi were already quite drunk.

Don't be fooled by how impressive he seemed after teaching Rhodes Island three a lesson; he's no match for Penguin Logistics' four members.

As for why he dared not move...

Aside from a kitten lying on his right leg, there was a black Lupo on his left leg and a golden Lupo Fluorescent Lamp Person leaning against him from behind.

If there hadn't been no seats left, there would probably have been a croissant joining in the fun—no, that croissant had already fallen onto the Fluorescent Lamp Person's lap.

"You're really popular!"

After seeing Shirou's lifeless expression as he finished the call, Huang said with a smile.

No wonder they reacted that way; they're clearly very experienced!

Although there weren't as many people as on Shirou's side, Amiya was still there to rest with.

If Rosemary were here too, her life would be perfect.

Unfortunately, I was busy drinking and missed this opportunity.

"Stop making sarcastic remarks..."

At this moment, Shirou felt his whole body stiffen. After all, it was not an easy thing to not be able to move his feet or his back.

Besides, we just had a high-intensity battle today...

So, can Isv come to rescue him quickly?

"Hehe, Ace, Scout! Time to make our move!"

Because her right hand was being supported, Huang extended her left hand and pointed at Shirou, summoning her teammates.

"?"

Upon hearing Huang's words, a question mark appeared above Shirou's head.

Then he understood what the three of them wanted to do.

Ace and Scou both held their phones and started taking pictures in this direction.

What Exusiai?

"It's Penguin Logistics, right? The photos will be sent there later, so please keep them safe!"

Huang added a sentence to dispel Shirou's doubts.

This isn't Exusiai's behavior anymore; this is Sarkaz's behavior.

Do all Rhodes Island players go to such lengths?

Oh, Scout seems to be Sarkaz. Oh well, never mind.

"Smile?"

Although Ace felt it was very unfair, she found it quite interesting.

It's fine to relax when you're not working, and it's worth recording how the other person is doing right now.

Perhaps looking back many years later, we'll find this to be a nice memory, won't we?

"I can't laugh, so stop fooling around, and so can you all."

Faced with the other party's unreasonable request, Shirou stared with dead fish eyes and said.

He also spoke to the Rhine Lab International group standing to the side.

FrostNova's amused look had already betrayed her thoughts.

Shirou now deeply regrets attending this dinner party.

The awkward atmosphere was finally relieved when Isv arrived in his car.

This was already the Shirou time Isv had sincerely thanked Is.

The large vehicle the other party deliberately drove was not only for delivering Penguin Logistics, but also to give everyone on Rhodes Island a ride.

It might be a bit crowded, though.

Besides putting the four of them, who were completely drunk, in the front row and fastening their seatbelts, Shirou also leaned Croissant's head against the car window to prevent her from poking Exusiai with her horns.

Amiya and Rosemary sat opposite the group, still somewhat drowsy, but now they were awake.

It's just that the two of them have to endure this strong smell of alcohol.

After settling the group down, Shirou looked at the seven adults sitting in the back.

"It's a bit crowded, sorry."

Looking at the somewhat cramped back seat, especially with Ace and Scout squeezed into a corner, Shirou felt a little apologetic.

However, this is not something he can control.

"It's alright, it's good enough that they can give us a ride, and it's even more comfortable than when we're on a mission."

"Rhine Lab International, who was standing to the side, said while shrinking his legs."

This is much better than when we're on a mission normally; at least the Penguin Logistics trucks are quite large.

Since it's for delivering goods, it's only natural that the vehicle is large, right?

"Shirou, aren't you going to come and squeeze in with us? It's so boring being all alone in front."

A certain Vulpo, in high spirits, chuckled and asked Shirou, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"No need for that. There are no seats left in the back, so I won't squeeze in with you guys."

After considering the density involved, Shirou rejected FrostNova's suggestion without hesitation.

Besides, the group was about to get off the bus, so there was no point in him going to the back.

"Sent to the Rhodes Island office, right?"

"From the driver's seat, "Isv Is asked.

It was precisely because of this situation that he drove this car over.
