It's Doctor Kono!

At least in Eileen's mind, Cong Yu's current status on the side of the monsters is pretty much as it is.

Otherwise, it's hard to explain why she received VIP treatment after chatting with Cong Yu on Linx and gaining Cong Yu's approval.

"Crackling and popping--"

The flames burned in the magnificent fireplace, accompanied by the ignition of fine wood, filling the spacious room with a musky aroma.

The furnishings in the main hall were also quite exquisite, with swords, murals, and flags hanging on the walls on both sides...

This is the west wing guest room of the Snow Woman's Residence.

It is said that this was the room that belonged to Cong Yu when the Snow Woman had just become queen and before Cong Yu went to live in Wind City.

Of course, just like the Snow Woman who doesn't live in the Snow Woman's House but in the Administrative Office, it's said that Cong Yu hasn't rested here very often either.

Even so, servants here still regularly clean and check the storage time of supplies... and replace any expired items promptly.

For example, the firewood in the fireplace, or the high-end red wine in the wine cabinet.

Therefore, it seems that after Snow Woman became queen, she really put all the best things she could find into Cong Yu's room.

However, at this moment, the four demons of the "Anti-King" benefited.

She's a French girl.

The four of them, including Eileen, stayed there, enjoying the rare warmth and comfort—a good rest before continuing their journey.

For these exhausted futurists, this could be considered a rare moment of enjoyment...

"Huff... huff..."

"Hahoo..."

"Huff... huff huff huff--"

"..." Apart from Eileen, the other three were already asleep on the extremely long and wide leather sofa.

A sofa of this size can already be classified as a bed.

I wonder what the purpose is of placing such a large, unusual sofa in this warm spot so close to the fireplace...

Eileen, who was kept in the dark for the time being, was now unable to sleep peacefully.

It's only 8 PM now, which is still quite early for her, given that she has some Vampire blood and only needs to rest for about two hours a day.

Even when she was sleepy, her thoughts kept swirling in her mind, preventing her from falling asleep.

First, you need to clear your mind.

The "Epochal Urban Heating System Based on the Circulation of Spirit Vein" requires the use of Spirit Vein to be realized.

The tributaries of the Spirit Vein are gathered together to form a "pool," and then special methods are used to establish controllable, constructable, and dismantling pipes to guide the veins within the pool.

Heating will be provided downstairs in each household.

Therefore, tomorrow we need to investigate which tributary of the Spirit Vein is most suitable as the main node of the heating system.

If not, it might be necessary to work directly on the Spirit Vein Nodule.

In addition, let the three of them investigate the composition of the residents of North Capital and their specific settlements.

Understanding these points is essential for setting up a good heating system.

The location where a heating system is built should definitely be as close to residential areas as possible.

"..." Thinking this, Eileen Greneau then recalled the conversations she had overheard among the residents on the streets of North Capital earlier that day.

His words were filled with complaints and helplessness.

Vegetable prices remain high, the water pipes at home are frozen, gas costs are rising, and it seems the child doesn't want to go back to our North Capital... and so on.

North Capital has vegetable greenhouses, but due to the costs associated with the greenhouse environment, prices are naturally high...

Vegetable growers also need to make a living.

In Japan, the prices of vegetables and fruits are already high... and relying on transportation from other cities is unlikely to last long.

Therefore, farms and vegetable greenhouses also need to be included in the basic considerations of "Spirit Vein Heating Formula".

Even if she has the necessary qualifications and a solid foundation in education, she still has some headaches about her future plans and the foreseeable hard work.

I'll probably be very busy starting tomorrow...

By the way, Miss Frost Fairy said that if there are any difficulties, you can tell Cong Yu and ask him to arrange for the Magical Girl Association here to help.

I don't know why we have to go through the Cong Yu step.

But surely it's not like the Snow Woman and the Magical Girl Association aren't close, and she only asked the Magical Girl Association to do things for Cong Yu's sake, right?

It shouldn't be that bad.

After all, that would mean that Snow Woman- onna values Cong Yu more than her entire North Capital... Even if they were very close, it wouldn't be to that extent.

The King of North Capital must have her own considerations.

Is it a test?

To see if the Magical Girl Association branch, which received Cong Yu's request, will bypass the Snow Woman faction in its operations, that's probably the case.

With this guess in mind, Eileen Grenault tapped away on her phone, sent a message to Cong Yu, and casually mentioned her own thoughts...

Hopefully, the King of Wind City won't go to sleep so early.

[Eileen Greneau: That's how it is. I suspect the Snow Woman is testing the Magical Girl Association's loyalty to North Capital.]

[Eileen Greneau: After this, I think it would be better to have the Magical Girl Association of North Capital continue reporting to the Snow Woman.]

[Cong Yu:...]

[Cong Yu: I understand, your guess is reasonable, but... sometimes, it's best not to overthink my relationships with others.]

[Eileen Grenor: What do you mean?]

[Cong Yu: Snow Woman and I were childhood sweethearts, inseparable since we were little... Those who understand, understand; if you still don't understand, there's nothing I can do.]

Chapter 581 Doctor. Kono!

[Dear Doctor:]

Happy birthday! I send you my sincerest wishes and praise your wonderful daily life lately.

[You have plenty of coffee, and I usually bring lots of cakes. As for a birthday gift, I haven't decided what to use instead.]

[If I send you flowers again, you don't seem to like them.]

[Thinking about it, you seem to be a little bothered by the hair clip I gave to the Rabbit Man... So, shall I give you the hair clip instead?]

[No, that would seem too perfunctory. Giving you a ring or other jewelry might be misinterpreted, so I chose a very interesting gift for you.]

[As Doctor, I feel there's something always missing around you... maybe a bit of a prank.]

In short, may your life be filled with joy and happiness, and may you achieve your dreams without being overly busy.

[Happy birthday to you.]

"..." Looking at He

Doctor. Ka was quite emotional, because this year's birthday present wasn't flowers... or rather, "At least it wasn't flowers."

Last year, she directly refused Cong Yu's birthday gift.

Just by looking at the Doctor's rather shapeless buttocks, you can imagine what kind of gift Cong Yu would have given last year...

It's definitely that damn flower.

If not, the Doctor would simply lie on Cong Yu's body and suck out three pounds of blood.

Before I knew it, another year had passed. This year has been quite fulfilling for Doctor... I hope next year will be a bit easier.

With this in mind, the Doctor set aside the greeting card from the gift box that Cong Yu had brought.

The Doctor couldn't help but look into the gift box, curious about what kind of "gift" Cong Yu had given him.

Sigh, if possible, a ring would actually be quite nice.

Moreover, the Doctor didn't think the hair clip was perfunctory... at least it was more meaningful than the sunscreen that Big Shadow received last time.

Big Shadow, sunscreen...

It's hard to imagine what Cong Yu's considerations were when she gave the gift, but Big Shadow herself seemed very happy... which is quite speechless.

Then, the Doctor, anticipating something, reached into the red silk spread out in the alley, searching for his gift.

Unfortunately, the result was fruitless.

After a brief silence, the Doctor considered the possibility that the cloth had been forgotten, but then she touched the raised area on the red cloth.

It appears to be silk thread that has been embroidered on.

For some reason, the Doctor had some suspicions...

"Hiss... No way?"

After taking a deep breath, the Doctor twitched his lips and pulled out the red silk lining the box.

The "gift" was then presented to the Doctor.

A silk banner.

Or rather, there are two banners, and one more is in the box.

Yes, Cong Yu's birthday gift was a banner... just like the card said, it was a "somewhat prankful" gift.

The banners bear embroidered characters in gold foil.

[The cutest Doctor in the world]

[Miraculous Healing]

Well, banners are indeed something that Doctor, as Doctor, often lack.

Many Doctor' offices have banners hanging in them, but "Doctor's " office didn't. Now, that missing piece has finally been made.

Today's words were completed with Cong Yu's help.

It has been perfected; one can now attain Buddhahood.

Are you kidding me, you bastard?!

Doctor: orz

The Doctor was utterly speechless, her body bent forward in despair... If she could, she would rather have a hair clip than a banner.

I'm not expecting a ring or anything! A hair clip would be fine with me! Just give me a hair clip, I don't feel like I'm being perfunctory at all!

While inwardly groaning, the Doctor showed absolutely no intention of hanging up the banner... which was rather strange.

Are you kidding me? Would anyone hang a banner that says "The World's Cutest Doctor" in their office?

Although Cong Yu probably considered this point, hence the "miraculous cure," isn't that just awkward?

And she's a Western medicine doctor, a Western medicine doctor!

"Ugh, really."

As he said this, the Doctor sighed and leaned back in his chair, "I was actually hoping for something..."

In the end, all they did was send two silk banners.

The Doctor didn't want to be forever defined by the word "Doctor," especially by Cong Yu... as if the gift was merely an expression of gratitude for her medical skills.

And regarding the Doctor's quiet complaint...

"And now? Has the expectation disappeared?"

As she said this, Cong Yu leaned halfway out from behind the wall. "And it's impossible to make up for it? Not even if I come to celebrate for you?"

As Cong Yu asked the question with a smile, the Doctor merely glanced at him coldly and said, "I've never been interested in celebrating my birthday."

As he said this, the Doctor, who seemed completely unenthusiastic and sat comfortably in his chair, happily shook his leg. "The reason I'm slightly looking forward to your gift is because I'm already used to it... that's all."
