Professor Lisha seemed eager to promote all-around cooperation between the two laboratories, and she kept coming over whenever she had a free moment.
Though today seemed to be about administrative matters.
She seemed to have come to check in with the acting head about Spirit Ash Institute's latest moves.
One had to admit she had a strong sense of collective pride. She wasn't even afraid of those in power—
"...You just got back?"
For example, when faced with a dean returning from some expedition, she didn't even bother with an honorific.
Seeing Cas leisurely drinking tea with Fu Qian, Lisha's eyes widened. She strode over without the slightest hesitation and sat down with them.

Cas had clearly grown used to this. His smile never wavered as he picked up a cup and poured her some tea.

"It's all Professor Fu's doing. I haven't done anything."

That was probably why no such rumors
