"Oh my, you must be Mr. Phaethon—Wise, right? While Ellen and little Corin were waiting, they were constantly mentioning you."
"Lina, don't say unnecessary things. I was just giving a normal introduction." As Ellen defended herself, her gaze was still focused on Wise's body. It seemed she wanted to ask something, but was hesitant to speak because there were other people around.
And Lina, in response, just smiled without speaking. At the same time, her smile was also a bit meaningful. But little Corin didn't understand these things. She only knew that she felt very happy after seeing Wise.
"Big brother Wise, I'm very happy to see you here. Corin never thought... that I could actually work with you."
Looking at the obedient Corin in front of him, Wise couldn't help but reach out and stroke her little head. "Mmm, then from now on, I'll be counting on you too, Corin."
Hearing this, Corin's little face turned slightly red while she also happily nodded. To have Wise's trust made her feel very satisfied in her heart.
"Oh, right, Mr. Wise must also be a bit tired after rushing all the way here, right? Do you need something to eat to replenish your strength?" Lina at this time took out a small box that seemed to be for holding snacks.
And after hearing her words, both Corin and Ellen's expressions changed. The former was more fearful, while the latter was worried. As for what she was worried about? Everything became clear after Lina opened the snack box.
The snacks inside the snack box... this thing could no longer be called a snack. A fish head attached to the cream, as well as octopus tentacles. Looking closely, there seemed to be something jumping in the jam?!
"N-no, that's not necessary, right? I'm actually not very hungry."
"Mr. Wise, you don't have to be polite. It's no problem to eat as much as you want. Or at least try a little. Corin and Ellen have told me that your cooking is very good, so I wanted to ask you to comment on it."
Hearing her tone, it seems I have to eat this thing? What is this? A test?
Wise looked at the lump in front of him with a grave expression. After hesitating again and again, he still reached out his hand towards the relatively normal-looking snack in the box. Lina, seeing this, immediately smiled even more happily. Even her favorability increased by 5 points. And Corin, while afraid, also cast a look of admiration at Wise. As for Ellen on this side, when she saw Wise reach out his hand, she had thought of eating all the snacks on his behalf, but after thinking about it, she did not act. She thought that Wise would ask for her help in this life-or-death crisis, right? But the result was that he picked up the snack in front of everyone and put it in his mouth.
Under the astonished gazes of Corin and Ellen, he chewed and swallowed it, and even gave a comment at the end. "The taste is acceptable, but there is still room for improvement. If Miss Lina needs it, we can find some time to exchange ideas together."
As Wise said this, he also silently put the indescribable snack that had been taken into the system space in the corner, lest it contaminate the other things in the space. It's just that Lina didn't know these things, and was even happy because of Wise's words.
"Really? That's great! Thank you, Mr. Wise."
And Corin at the side, at this time, showed a look of wanting to say something but hesitating. Wise, seeing this, also immediately added, "Of course, there's also Corin and Ellen. You two should also join us at that time. Ellen will be responsible for trying the finished products we make."
Hearing this, Corin happily agreed. And Ellen said it was a lot of trouble, but then turned around and said that for the sake of free delicious food, she still agreed. Wise looked at Ellen's panel. Actually, she's clearly very happy. What a tsundere little shark. So cute.
Afterward, Ellen said she wanted to go to the side to rest for a while. And Wise at this time received a call from Belle. Going to the side to answer the phone, he happened to see Ellen curled up in a chair, sleeping. The latter did not have the habit of sleeping while hugging her tail, so Wise, seeing this, couldn't help but make a move. And Ellen, in response, instinctively wanted to slap him with her tail. However, after the first attack was blocked by Wise, the latter seemed to have calmed down after sensing a familiar aura. It's just that her breathing seemed a bit strange, as if she were deliberately trying not to be discovered, so she was pretending to be asleep.
And Wise did not care about these things, just explained the situation to Belle, and at the same time also said a very important thing.
"Belle, I want to go into the Hollow this time to take a look."
"What?! No, I don't agree!" Hearing Wise's idea, Belle's voice became much louder. She then, like a little wife who was concerned about her husband, explained many serious consequences, such as Wise getting injured after entering the Hollow, which would cause inconvenience in his future life, and even make him unable to satisfy her (referring to daily living expenses).
"Don't be so worried. You know my strength. Besides, this is also to find Wrench faster. Her situation is probably not very good right now. What's more, I'm not alone."
Hearing this, Belle also fell into deep thought. Thinking that the members of Victoria Housekeeping were not weak in strength, there shouldn't be any big problems. So after weighing it over and over, she finally reluctantly agreed. "Hmph! If it weren't for you insisting on going, brother, I definitely wouldn't have agreed! Also, just in case, remember to bring a few more anti-Aether corrosion agents."
Belle not only repeatedly instructed Wise to bring good things, but also emphasized that he should not be reckless when encountering danger. The latter could only nod in agreement. After hanging up the phone, Wise looked at Ellen beside him, who seemed to be still sound asleep. From the panel, the other party was not asleep. It seemed she had already woken up when he touched her tail.
In fact, when Wise said he wanted to go into the Hollow together, he had already felt Ellen's body tremble along with her tail. Is she worried about me? So cute. But don't worry, I'm not the type who needs protection.
Wise thought so in his heart. However, what was Ellen thinking on her side? Let's take a look.
Tsk, Wise actually chose not to possess a Bangboo this time, but to enter the Hollow in his real body? This way, wouldn't I not be able to hold him openly? Damn it...
Ellen's real thoughts made Wise's mouth twitch a little. But he also wasn't worried that his displayed strength would make the other party worry. What's more, there were so many people this time. But because his original fantasy was shattered, it made him feel a little unhappy. So Wise decided to do something.
Looking at Ellen in front of him who was still pretending to be asleep, he then deliberately spoke. "It seems Ellen is already sleeping very soundly. In that case, then I won't be polite and will make my move."
