"Rosaliya, wake up, it's morning. You're still hugging Shen Gonglin so tightly. It's not good for your health."
Tesla, who had been sitting by the bed all night, finally couldn't stand it anymore. She had been studying the blueprints all night, and now she was finally done. She had also taken the opportunity to observe the three people sleeping on the bed. Rosaliya was sleeping with her arms around Shen Gonglin, and Liliya was sleeping with her head on Shen Gonglin's chest. It was fine for Liliya, but Rosaliya was hugging Shen Gonglin too tightly. If she continued like this, it would be bad for Shen Gonglin's health. She had to wake her up.
"Mmm… Mm…"
Tesla's voice woke Rosaliya up. She opened her eyes and looked around in confusion. She was still in Tesla's room. She had fallen asleep here last night. But why was she hugging Shen Gonglin so tightly? She had no memory of this. She was just sleeping, and then she woke up. Rosaliya's mind was a bit confused. She looked at Shen Gonglin and then at Tesla. She finally remembered what had happened last night. She had been ordered by Mother Cocolia to stay away from Shen Gonglin, but she had forgotten about it. She had been too focused on Shen Gonglin and hadn't heard Mother Cocolia's words at all. She had even slept with Shen Gonglin.
"Rosaliya, you're awake. You're hugging Shen Gonglin too tightly. It's not good for your health. You should let him go."
Tesla looked at Rosaliya, who was still hugging Shen Gonglin tightly, with a frown. She had no choice but to remind her again. This girl was too careless. She had been hugging Shen Gonglin all night. If she continued like this, Shen Gonglin would suffocate. She was a bit worried about Shen Gonglin's health. He was a captive, after all. If he died, it would be troublesome.
"Mmm… Mm…"
Rosaliya, who was still in a daze, finally woke up. She looked at Shen Gonglin and then at Tesla. She finally remembered what had happened last night. She had been ordered by Mother Cocolia to stay away from Shen Gonglin, but she had forgotten about it. She had even slept with Shen Gonglin. Rosaliya's face turned red. She quickly let go of Shen Gonglin and sat up. She was so embarrassed. She had even slept with Shen Gonglin. She had to find a way to make it up to Mother Cocolia.
"Rosaliya, what's wrong? You're blushing. Did you have a nightmare?"
Tesla noticed Rosaliya's strange behavior and asked curiously. She had never seen Rosaliya like this before. Rosaliya was usually very energetic and never showed any signs of embarrassment. She was a bit curious about what had happened to her.
"No, no, no, Rosaliya didn't have a nightmare. Rosaliya just remembered something. Rosaliya has to go now. Rosaliya will come back later."
Rosaliya quickly shook her head and denied it. She couldn't tell Tesla about this. She had to find a way to make it up to Mother Cocolia. She had to go and find Mother Cocolia now. She quickly got out of bed and left the room. She didn't even look at Shen Gonglin again. She was too embarrassed to face him.
"Mmm… Mm…"
Rosaliya's sudden departure woke Liliya up. She opened her eyes and looked around in confusion. She was still in Tesla's room. She had fallen asleep here last night. But why was she sleeping on Shen Gonglin's chest? She had no memory of this. She was just sleeping, and then she woke up. Liliya's mind was a bit confused. She looked at Shen Gonglin and then at Tesla. She finally remembered what had happened last night. She had fallen asleep on Shen Gonglin's chest. She was so embarrassed. She quickly got up and left the room. She didn't even look at Shen Gonglin again. She was too embarrassed to face him.
"Mmm… Mm…"
Shen Gonglin, who had been woken up by the two girls, finally opened his eyes. He looked around in confusion. He was in a strange room. He remembered being knocked out by Anti-Entropy's troops, and then he was here… Wait, why were there two girls sleeping with him? He had no memory of this. He was just sleeping, and then he woke up

The Anti-Entropy headquarters, ME Company, was bustling with activity. The sudden return of the mech action team had caused a stir among the researchers and staff. The team's leader, Tesla, was a well-known figure in the company. Her return meant that the mission had been completed, and the captured target had been brought back. Everyone was curious about the situation and eager to see the target.
In the restaurant, Tesla and Shen Gonglin were having a meal together. The delicious aroma of the Cream Stew filled the air, making Tesla's appetite soar. She couldn't wait to taste it. However, just as she was about to take a bite, the restaurant's door suddenly burst open. A group of armed guards rushed in, led by a stern-faced woman.
"Tesla, what are you doing? The Alliance Leader has ordered that the captured target is to be kept under close surveillance at all times. How could you bring him here and let him move around freely? This is a serious breach of protocol!"
The woman glared at Tesla, her voice cold and stern. She was one of Anti-Entropy's Executors, responsible for maintaining order and discipline within the organization. Seeing Tesla's actions, she couldn't help but reprimand her.
Tesla sighed inwardly. Just as I thought, the Alliance Leader would find out eventually. But I didn't expect her to react so quickly. She turned to face the woman, her expression calm and collected.
"Executor, I understand your concerns. However, I believe that the target is not a threat to our organization. He is currently under my supervision, and I can assure you that he will not cause any trouble. I apologize for any inconvenience caused by my actions."
Tesla's response was polite and respectful, but firm. She was not backing down from her decision. The woman hesitated for a moment, then nodded reluctantly.
"Very well, Tesla. I will report this to the Alliance Leader. However, I must warn you that if the target causes any trouble, you will be held responsible. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Executor. I understand and accept full responsibility for my actions."
Tesla nodded, her expression serious. The woman turned and left, taking the guards with her. Tesla let out a sigh of relief, then turned to Shen Gonglin, who was watching the scene with interest.
"Sorry about that. It seems that the Alliance Leader is taking this matter very seriously. I didn't expect her to react so quickly."
Shen Gonglin shrugged, a faint smile on his face. "It's fine. I understand that you have your duties to perform. I'm just a captive, after all. But I must say, your organization is quite strict. I've never seen such a strict hierarchy in Schicksal."
Tesla chuckled, picking up her spoon and taking a bite of the Cream Stew. Her eyes widened in surprise as the rich, creamy flavor filled her mouth.
"This is delicious! I didn't expect you to be such a good cook. You've really outdone yourself this time, Shen Gonglin."
Shen Gonglin grinned, pleased with her reaction. "Thank you. I'm glad you like it. I must say, it's quite rare for me to have the chance to cook for someone. Usually, Mei or Rita won't let me near the kitchen."
Tesla raised an eyebrow, curious. "Mei and Rita? Are they your teammates in Schicksal? I must say, they sound like quite strict people. But I can understand why. After all, you are an S-rank Valkyrie. It's only natural that they would want to keep you safe."
Shen Gonglin nodded, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. "Yes, they are my teammates. Mei is our team leader, and Rita is our maid. They are both very important to me. I miss them very much."
Tesla smiled sympathetically. "I see. Well, I'm sure you'll be reunited with them soon. After all, Schicksal won't just leave you in our hands, will they? I'm sure they're already planning a rescue operation as we speak."
Shen Gonglin's expression turned serious. "Yes, I'm sure they are. But I must say, I don't want to be rescued just yet. I want to find Mei and Wendy first. I can't leave them behind."
Tesla looked at Shen Gonglin, her expression thoughtful. "I see. Well, I can help you with that. After all, I have access to the company's records and surveillance systems. I can find out where they are being held."
Shen Gonglin's eyes lit up. "Really? That would be a great help. Thank you
