How to Date Miss Lynx?

Her blood was boiling, as if her body had just gone through a fierce battle—she instinctively reached out, and Laevateinn's sword hilt fell into her hand.

"What's wrong with me?" she murmured, Theresia's words still echoing in her mind from the dream. She could understand most of it, the remaining parts were minor details. However, in any case, her heart should not be so agitated.

—Was it because you were too excited to see Theresia?

—That's possible... but something just doesn't feel right.

She shook her head, turned around, and saw that the clock on the wall was pointing to six o'clock in the afternoon.

—Did you sleep for so long...? Is it because I'm sleep-deprived, or... is the place where Theresia lives a bit unusual?

—Hmm, I'll tell Persephone the details later. After all, this was a conspiracy between her and Theresia, and Theresia didn't say it had to be kept secret... She's always been cautious; she couldn't possibly forget something so important. But besides this, she can't reveal it to anyone else.

She stood up, the boiling blood in her body gradually calming down. Perhaps her previous feelings were simply the joy of reunion, but now, she decided to temporarily put this little change into her mental to-do list.

—There are other things to do.

—It may not be more important, but it's something we can do right now.

A coordinate point appeared in the girl's mind. It was the location of the temporary medical center, and also Kal'tsit's current location—after all, there were still wounded from the Chernobog incident. And Rhodes Island's medical team was currently treating the critically ill patients there.

"Go see her," Miss Surtr said to herself.

There's another class tonight.

Chapter 81: How to Date Miss Lynx?

Some preparations are needed before meeting Kal'tsit. Miss Surtr has a wealth of experience and lessons learned from the past, and now is the time to put them to use.

I need to prepare a gift and a dessert so she can replenish her sugar levels after her arduous surgery. Of course, this comes at the risk of her getting hit on the head with a cake, so before bringing out the dessert, I'll prepare a bouquet of flowers that won't hurt too much even if they hit her in the face.

Bouquets should primarily be uplifting; lavender, magnolia, mint, Rosemary —these four colors of flowers can be mixed together to create exquisite patterns. Plus, these flowers don't have thorns, so there's no need to worry about them getting stuck on you if they fall on you.

Very good, the gift is ready. The rest is clothing—the style of the clothes doesn't need to be changed. But they must be clean, spotless, and lightly scented. The hem of the skirt must be wrinkle-free, and the clothes must be worn neatly without being crooked or creased; dust is, of course, unacceptable. Beyond that, the overall style should appear natural and soft, so that others can't immediately tell that you've dressed up.

—If I wear fancy clothes, Kal'tsit will say this isn't a place for a ball. If I wear plain clothes, Kal'tsit will say it will affect the Sarkaz Babel Tower... well, that's Rhodes Island's image now. So, I can only make a fuss about my everyday clothes.

So, with the gift prepared and your appearance taken care of, the next step is to prepare yourself mentally.

When meeting Kal'tsit, you need to maintain a good mindset. Be happy, but don't appear overly happy. Show a smile, but only a slight one; avoid making exaggerated facial expressions or body language.

—If I smile too sweetly, Kal'tsit will say I'm being pretentious. If I smile too weakly, Kal'tsit will say I don't need to force a smile. And if I don't smile at all, then I'll be accused of 'do you have a problem with me?' These are all lessons from the past, and these lessons should become experience.

When walking, you should walk at a moderate pace. On the way to the medical center, you shouldn't be too hurried or appear leisurely. However, this isn't very important, because compared to posture and demeanor, finding a mirror is the most important thing.

Why look for a mirror?

It's not about putting on makeup a second time or tidying up your appearance again. It's about using the mirror to give yourself a suggestion, thereby building a psychological barrier.

— Don't get angry if you're scolded.

— Don't get angry if you're scolded.

— Don't get angry if you're scolded.

Important words should be repeated three times in your mind. This way, even the harshest scolding can be endured. And once everything is prepared, you can leave from the starting point, taking a leisurely, unhurried pace—neither sweating nor so leisurely as to leave a chill—towards Kal'tsit's location.

Remember to keep smiling. Because smiling brings a good mood.

Since you're in a good mood, you should greet all the acquaintances you meet along the way.

When you run into ACE, say to him, "Good evening, Mr. ACE, it's been a long time. How about we grab a drink sometime when you're free?"

Then, without wrinkling his clothes, catch the shield that slips from his hands, set it aside, and adjust his sunglasses to prevent them from falling to the ground. Smile at him, then place this Elite Operator, who is inexplicably petrified on the spot, on the stool next to you.

Further on, when you encounter TOUCH, who has arrived with the second medical support team, you should greet this senior Medical Operator with horns in the same manner, "Good evening, Ms. TOUCH, thank you for your hard work in treating patients. I just saw ACE over there, and he seemed a bit tired. Could you please look after him?"

Then, reach out and catch TOUCH's cane when it slips from her hand. Return the cane to Laevateinn before she expresses her displeasure. Before leaving, give her a hand to make sure she doesn't stumble and bump into a lamppost. Then, call over a drone and make a call to Warfarin.

"TOUCH and ACE both seem to be feeling unwell. Could you come and check on them? They're located on Sixth and Fifteenth Avenues, respectively."

Warfarin was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but chuckle softly. From the sound, you could tell she was definitely clutching her stomach, perhaps even rolling on the ground.

"Hehe, did you... huh, did you greet them?"

"Is there a problem? I call this politeness."

"No problem... Hahaha, absolutely no problem, hahaha... Are you here to see Kal'tsit? She just finished a surgery and is going through medical records in her office. It's perfect timing for you to come."

"Yes, that's why I'm here. This way?"

"Leave that to me... I'll be there right away."

As soon as I hung up the phone, I could hear a burst of wild laughter coming from the other end of the line.

Baffling.

But that's not important; it's just a trivial little detail.

So, let's move forward.

Sometimes you'll encounter some strange little things on the road, like a lost animal, you don't know if it's a cat or a dog, but it's definitely a very unique little creature—you pick it up and clean the dirt off its body with a flame that won't burn you. Before long, a clumsy Feline will run over, her face flushed, thanking you as she takes her strange pet back.

"Thank you, miss. I thought I'd never see Phil again."

She held her pet, her face beaming with joy. Of course, she would want to pay for it. But there was no need to accept it now. After all, this Feline looked vaguely familiar—wearing a uniform that resembled that of a Victoria student, yet the stockings on her legs showed signs of being burned by flames. Clearly, she was a sorcerer who couldn't fully control her Originium Arts, and this character design seemed vaguely familiar.

—Heavenly Skyfire? It seems so. But it could also be an illusion. After all, to a boiling volcano, there's not much difference between a firefly and a candle.

In short, say a proper goodbye to her. Then continue on your way to where Kal'tsit is.

She's probably trying to repay a debt, which is why she's following behind. But this kind of thing can be easily handled by Persephone —look, a drone is flying over, isn't it? And given Persephone's ability to open a briefcase, this girl's personnel file will probably be on Kal'tsit's desk soon.

—Great, today is another day of increased combat strength for Rhodes Island.

With this pleasant feeling, the temporary medical center building where Kal'tsit was located came into view—it was quite normal to run into acquaintances here. Even if you didn't see Warfarin, you would encounter some other interesting people. And at that time, you should greet them.

For example—

Reaching out from the shadows, it precisely grasped a large, fluffy tail. Accompanied by a shameful 'meow,' a Little Red Riding Hood, blushing crimson from having her private parts caught, appeared in its hand.

Don't scare her. Pat her head and soothe her; most Lupo people respond to this. Once she's calmed down, give her the candy you prepared beforehand. And say to her—

"Good boy."
