Early in the morning, before the sky was completely bright, El-Elf opened his eyes and sat upright from the bed in the bedroom. After taking a look at Xiao Ran who opened and closed his eyes on the bed, he stood up unhurriedly, folded the quilt and the floor and put them aside and walked out of the bedroom.
When they arrived in the living room, they saw Luo snoring on the sofa, with one foot hanging out of the sofa, sleeping soundly. The coffee table in front of the sofa was filled with various small probes that Luo spent an entire night to make. After taking a look at those things, El-Elf walked to the horizontal table next to the window sill, opened each of the displays on the table, and put on headphones.
Through the screen, you can see that Chidori is still lying on the bed at this time, with a different posture than when El-Elf went in at night, indicating that Chidori has transitioned from a coma to a normal sleep state, and there is no other sound in the headphones except Chidori's steady breathing.
After nodding, El-Elf took off his headphones and walked into the bathroom. After taking a bath and taking care of his personal hygiene, he put on a set of casual clothes and walked into the kitchen. He skillfully took out the ingredients for breakfast from the refrigerator and started to get busy in the kitchen.
As a professional intelligence agent, El-Elf's skills are quite complex and numerous. Not to mention just making breakfast, it is completely enough to leave all three meals a day to El-Elf, and the quality of the food is far more reliable than Xiao Ran, who has never been in the kitchen since coming to Prometheus.
First, wash the rice and put it into the rice cooker, and then wash the other ingredients with water. After the knife is lifted and dropped, the afterimages start to appear in the kitchen. Suddenly, the whole kitchen is filled with the light of the knife and the crisp sound of clicking. Kneading the dough and beating eggs, boiling or stir-frying to make stacks of side dishes, and taking the time to cook a pot of delicious clear soup. The deft movements look like a veteran who has been there for many years.
Xiao Ran woke up at some point, holding a toothbrush in his mouth and looking at El-Elf who was busy in the kitchen, looking a little dull. Luo, who was snoring and sleeping, also opened his eyes and sat on the sofa blankly looking at the busy figure in the kitchen. When the two saw this scene, they once again felt that their perceptions were subverted, as if they were dreaming and did not wake up, but the fragrance coming from the tip of their noses told them that these were all facts.
And after Xiao Ran came to his senses, brushed his teeth and washed his face and returned to the living room, El-Elf, who was wearing an apron, had already put stacks of side dishes on the table, and paired them with thick soup and white rice, making it look like a sumptuous breakfast. El-Elf, on the other hand, continued to wipe the stove and wash the tools in the kitchen quickly, and then he took out a lunch box that had already been cleaned and put the lunch he had prepared for himself in it.
Xiao Ran shook his head and patted Luo, who was still a little confused. "Go and clean up, then go to bed and rest after eating."
Luo rubbed his eyes to wake himself up, stood up and stretched, yawning and said, "It's okay, it's actually quite comfortable to fall asleep on the sofa."
El-Elf also took off his apron and walked over at this time. It seemed that he didn't feel anything strange at all because he walked into the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous breakfast for three people. He still had the same indifferent expression. In fact, El-Elf didn't think there was anything strange about it. Regarding feelings, it's just that his own experience has made him unable to express his feelings well. He often considers everything he does with a higher success rate and better feasibility. Therefore, the emotional intelligence is indeed lower, which leads to some problems with the three views, but he is definitely not the kind of person who has no three views and emotions.
When the three of them sat at the table, Xiao Ran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after taking the first bite. To be honest, the food made by El-Elf definitely tasted better than he imagined, and it was much better. At least compared to the things he made that were inedible, it was a world of difference.
Like Xiao Ran, Luo tried to take a bite first and then realized that the taste was really good, so he ate it with big mouthfuls. While eating, he took the time to give a thumbs up to El-Elf: "I didn't expect you to have such a skill. It seems you don't have to eat takeout every day."
In response to Luo's compliment, El-Elf said with a calm expression, "I can cook a total of thirty-two dishes, fifteen kinds of fried rice, and eight kinds of soup. Because I may be exposed to related tasks, I was trained when I was young. Each of them is accurate to the size and quantity of ingredients, the amount of condiments, and the amount of condiments after long-term training. The type, stir-frying time and temperature, the contact area of the ingredients, condiments, and tableware are all made using a standard process just like making missiles in batches. If you are willing to learn, I can send the detailed information to your computer. As long as a normal person makes the dish according to those information, the taste will be exactly the same."
"Well, at least among the group of people I trained with, everyone's food tasted the same."
"Cough cough cough..." Luo suddenly grabbed his neck and coughed with a red face. Xiao Ran rolled his eyes and handed Luo a glass of water, then patted Luo's back hard twice, and Luo let out a long breath after drinking the glass of water. He took a breath and said helplessly to El-Elf: "Huh, I almost thought I was going to die here. How can you cook like this? This is not a tool. To make delicious food, you need to invest your emotions, you know?"
"I'm sorry, I don't understand what it means to invest emotions in cooking." After saying this, El-Elf also ate all the rice in his bowl. After putting down the chopsticks and bowl, he returned to the monitoring equipment. It happened that the target mission, Chidori Kaname, had woken up. At this time, the picture happened to show Chidori taking off his clothes and getting ready to change into his school uniform, but he pointed one side of his back at the camera installed by El-Elf.
But even so, El-Elf could clearly see Chidori's smooth and tender back on the screen, which seemed to have a vague feeling of crystal clearness. The slim and curved figure made people look like their blood vessels were swelling, but in El-Elf's eyes, all this picture was like seeing a blank piece of paper, and it did not arouse any emotion in him at all.
"The target has woken up and started changing his clothes, and is expected to leave the residence within thirty minutes." El-Elf reported with his back to Xiao Ran, then stood up and walked directly to the bedroom.
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and looked at Luo: "What was he talking about just now?"
"The target person has woken up and started to change... clothes?" Luo repeated El-Elf's words blankly, and then repeated the last four words with Xiao Ran: "Change clothes?"
In the next second, the two of them noticed the deep smile in each other's eyes, but they did not move to appreciate the beautiful scenery on the screen behind them. Neither of them were really lustful people, otherwise Luo would not have a real woman until now, and even the straight-tempered girl SEED World had not yet fully talked about it.
Of course, Xiao Ran may not have the confidence in this regard, but if Xiao Ran really wants to attack, he will only attack the people he likes, and now he is not like some people who can't control themselves. He has really devoted his feelings to Sheryl and Mwu, so he cannot let go, and even Xiao Ran noticed that Saki Maski had different feelings for her, but before he was really sure whether he had such feelings for her, Xiao Ran also maintained a normal relationship between the two parties. Therefore, a Chidori who had never been in contact, even if he took off his clothes and stood in front of him, I am afraid Xiao Ran would not be interested.
As for El-Elf, Xiao Ran and Luo certainly wouldn't think what would happen if El-Elf saw Chidori's body. In addition to El-Elf's normal views on a woman, other women are probably no different from a white pig in his eyes.
While Xiao Ran lowered his head to eat with a smile, a thought suddenly popped into his mind, "There is also the promise given to El-Elf. It seems that this matter cannot be delayed any longer. With the current strength and income of the legion, with a stable logistics base and a territory of its own, it is not a big problem to raise one person for free."
Putting down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, Xiao Ran suddenly had a card in his hand. El-Elf happened to walk out with a shoulder bag and a paper bag at this time. His eyes fell on the card in Xiao Ran's hand and he was stunned for a moment. Then his eyes flashed several times and finally returned to calm.
El-Elf, who didn't say a word, was not as calm as he appeared after seeing the card. There were still some fluctuations in his heart because of the card, but El-Elf was able to control it well at least at this time. After putting all the things on the coffee table in front of the sofa into my backpack, I sat on the sofa and took out a pistol, a microflush, two daggers, a few hand grenades, smoke bombs and flash bombs, and started checking them, and my eyes would look at the screens of the monitoring equipment from time to time.
When he saw the figure on the screen opening the door and walking out, El-Elf put away all the things he had taken out. He put the pistol directly under his arm and the dagger behind his back. He put the grenades and micro-charge directly into his backpack, picked up the paper bag and lunch, and hurriedly opened the door and left.
After El-Elf left, Xiao Ran also nodded to Luo, and took the initiative to clean up the things on the table and put them back in their original positions. After driving Luo to the bedroom to rest, Xiao Ran sat on the sofa and started thinking.
"From today onwards, El-Elf will be able to officially contact Chidori. In a short period of time or even for a long period of time, he will be able to follow Chidori to protect him completely. And the task of protecting Chidori only needs El-Elf to do it. So the only ones who really need to plan the next move are Luo and I."
"Luo is currently the only combat power among the three of us. He also holds the responsibility of Technicians. The latter is far more important than the former. However, once Luo leaves, we will be in a situation of lack of combat power. Once there is a battle that requires the use of the machine and Luo is not around, it will be a tragedy. It seems that Luo will be restricted here."
"Am I the one who really has nothing to do here?" Xiao Ran rubbed his head and thought to himself, "The key thing is what can I do, and sneak into the military to try to get more rights like I did in my previous mission? But I have no understanding of the military in this world, let alone the opportunities I have experienced in the world before, and this world seems to have no suitable opportunities for me to join the military."
"I have no identity, no support, no background, and more importantly, I have no chance. In order to keep a low profile, I cannot rely on my ability to operate the machine to quickly rise to the top after joining the army. Even if I choose to join the military, it will not take me about three months to achieve some expected goals and completely control an army. Moreover, the military strength in Japan is too weak to really give us effective help."
"After all this, it is more appropriate to establish a relationship with Mithril, but to establish a relationship with Mithril, we still have to wait for the opportunity. However, if we can accumulate more advantages in these three months, it will be more beneficial to the next task. Now that it is a disadvantage and cannot be exposed, it is most correct to follow the development of the plot and establish a relationship with Mithril. However, the analysis of AS technology in this world is naturally better sooner, and Luo must do it personally. In the end, will Luo still have to get Luo into Mithril first?"
"Then at least... I have to get a machine that I can pilot."
Xiao Ran was worried about the arrangements for Main Mission's first three months, and when El-Elf left the door, he followed the target Chidori and started heading towards the school.
Compared with the real bodyguard Sousuke Sagara, El-Elf is more familiar with some concepts and habits of ordinary society, and unlike that guy who has never been in contact with normal society, he seems a little nervous when facing everything, and often makes some ridiculous things.
Although Chidori was also regarded as the target of protection, El-Elf's approach seemed more cautious and normal. There was no deliberate or strange feeling during the action, but he paid attention to keeping the distance between himself and Chidori. It was completely outside the alert range of normal people, but it allowed him to appear next to Chidori as soon as any situation arose.
