Tomorrow's Ark, the Battle of the Sick

"You don't care, I didn't say give it to her anyway."

Laplande snorted softly, took out another small piece of wood from his pocket, glanced at Hei who was resting aside, and began to carve.

"Is this the end, Doctor?"

Hei, who had been restless from the very beginning, folded his arms around his chest and wriggled his black tail slightly, showing an unexpected discomfort with this trade.

The Doctor and King of Propulsion looked at each other, and then affirmed Hei's question.

"I understand your feelings. After all, many things have happened, but don't forget our main purpose. We must continue to do what we should do." The doctor looked around the crowd, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

"The doctor is right, anyway, I'm almost used to it~." Platinum stroked the longbow, and her raised white silk thighs swayed casually, touching Laplande's knees from time to time. "Contacting, approaching, negotiating, signing an agreement, subsequent delivery and follow-up, repeated so many times, that's all we need to do."

"Work is work, just take it seriously, and follow the doctor's orders for the rest."

Ghost Shark sighed, closed the cover of the contract in his hand, and put it in the safe of the vehicle.

Not long ago, Rhodes Island and the Colombian Presidential Palace successfully signed a trade agreement on aggregates. Everything was as usual, and it was unnaturally smooth. After the short and enthusiastic signing ceremony, everyone returned to Whale Song Company.

Visiting various countries is a manifestation of Rhode Island's friendship. However, although they can experience the customs of various places, from Longmen to Columbia, the girls no longer feel novelty and excitement.

Although from the beginning, being able to be with the doctor was their main purpose, and the rest were secondary.

"how about this?"

Not long after, Laplande carved another piece of wood and stretched it out in front of Hei to ask her opinion.

The wooden sculpture has the ears and tail of the Filin tribe, holds a miniature version of the crossbow, and hangs a satchel on the right shoulder. It is a small and delicate doll.

Hei was silent, flicking his tail, and staring at the wood carving in Laplande's hand, the picture suddenly became a little warmer.

"Hehe, it seems that I should be quite satisfied, so I will give it to you."

Seeing that Hei did not object, Lapland gently put the one-finger-high wood carving on Hei's hand, hesitated for a moment, and Hei took the wood carving and thanked Lapland.

"Lapland's technology is getting better and better, why don't you carve one for the doctor?"

I got the platinum of the woodcarving a long time ago, and my eyes wandered between Laplande and the doctor.

"It's still early because I want to dedicate my best masterpiece to Dr."

Obviously, everyone didn't expect Laplande to be so attentive in this regard, and judging from her expression, she should be serious.

"It's enough for you to have this kind of intention." The doctor gently stroked Laplande's hair and ears, "While there is still time, help me make one now."

"PhD--?"

Laplande was a little caught off guard, and cast a puzzled look at the doctor, but the doctor nodded, emphasizing what he said just now.

"Even if it's the first time, sometimes you can do well." The doctor gently encouraged Laplande, "It's better to say that it is more valuable because of the first time."

However, the doctor's words made the girls show subtle expressions.

"Doctor—" the King of Propulsion said softly, "Didn't you really mean it? The first time or something—"

The doctor who got the unexpected reaction looked at the eyes of the girls, and shook his head hesitantly for a long time.

"—I feel that sometimes I can't keep up with your thinking, what's the problem?"

"No, since the doctor wants it so much—it's okay to let me give it to you..." Laplande shook his ears and curled the corners of his mouth, "But since you have chosen, don't regret it?"

Although the doctor didn't know why carving a wooden sculpture would be so serious, but since Laplande agreed to his request, it's hard to say anything more.

Although not quite used to it, it might be a good thing to sign the trade order quickly, and the group returned to the Whale Song company's resident in a gradually easing atmosphere.

Only Ghost Shark and King of Propulsion faintly noticed that in this sales negotiation of the polymer agent, it was not so much that the order was signed quickly due to fewer conflicts in various aspects, but that it was completed quickly under the impetus of the doctor.

From the two of them, it seemed that the doctor was making some kind of preparations, so he had to complete other tasks ahead of schedule.

After dinner, Ghost Shark walks in the door and sees the Doctor looking out the window.

"Doctor, a copy of the contract has been sent to Rhodes Island. Afterwards, the finance department of the production department will negotiate with the Colombian Presidential Palace and settle the expenses."

The doctor turned around slowly, and the moonlight cast a layer of silver on his coat.

"Thanks for your hard work. We have received so many orders. Will the pressure on the production department be too great?"

"There shouldn't be a problem with the production capacity, but the medical department seems to be a bit short-handed. If there is any problem, they will notify you in advance." Phantom Shark's slender fingertips caressed his forehead and said thoughtfully, "Also, may I ask if the doctor has decided on the next itinerary? Because of this temporary change of route, do you need to rearrange the order of Victoria and Casimir's visits?"

"I'll discuss this with everyone later. Anyway, with the current tight production speed, it is estimated that the production department also hopes that we will slow down the progress."

"--I understand."

The doctor looked at the ghost shark approaching, and stretched out his hand to tidy up her somewhat messy bangs.

"In this way, there are only two places left." Ghost Shark felt the touch of the doctor's fingertips, and pursed his lips. "When the interview is over, will the doctor still have a job as a mediator?"

The doctor looked at the expression of the ghost shark, and it was not difficult to see that she had the same thoughts as the other girls at this time:

When this visit and trade trip is over, will the Doctor remain in Rhode Island, or continue his official duties as mediator?

"Are you lonely?"

The doctor looked at the ghost shark seriously, as if the elder brother who often went out asked the younger sister who was looking after the house alone.

"Although many things happened during this trip, everyone is very happy because we can be with the doctor." Ghost Shark held the doctor's hand with his slender fingertips and said softly, "But if the doctor has more important things, Everyone will be patient, after all, it has always been like this—"

No matter what the doctor wants to do in the future, everyone will support him as always.
