Tomorrow's Ark, the Battle of the Sick

Chapter 53

Skadi sat on the bed with a baby shark pillow, looking a little idle.

Ceylon cleared away the teacups and dessert tray, then sat across from Skadi, watching her with interest.

"—what's wrong?"

Even Skadi felt a little uncomfortable with Ceylon's gaze.

At the request of the doctor, Skadi would take off the unique pointed hat when he was in the room, and his long gray hair was tied up at the tip, like a short tail, and compared with the towering chest, he looked slightly younger. The little face was expressionless.

"It's nothing~ By the way, the pillow in Skadi's arms is—"

"It was given to me by the ghost shark."

"So, sure enough, Skadi and Ghost Shark have a good relationship~"

For some reason, Ceylon felt that this conversation seemed similar.

"—It's okay." Skadi stroked the soft little shark pillow in his arms, his eyes softened a lot. "It is said that the doctor and she are coming back soon, as well as your bodyguard."

"I'm looking forward to it, because I feel very lonely during the time when Hei is not here." Ceylon straightened the hair on his right ear and coughed lightly, "I can only write letters to the doctor and play with Skadi~"

"Only—?"

"Of course it's fun to play with Skadi, um, chatting like this."

Sensing Skadi's strange expression, Ceylon quickly explained, but Skadi was not relieved.

"—I know I'm bored, Ceylon needn't push herself."

"Skadi-"

"Ceylon is my friend—I don't want you to push yourself."

The girl glanced away lightly, stroking the shark pillow, like a little girl in trouble.

"Skadi is also my friend, so I didn't force myself."

Skadi's appearance made Ceylon feel pity in her heart, so she approached her and hugged her gently, stroking her soft long hair.

"Since the tea party is over, do you want to go out for a walk?"

"—where to go?"

"Is there anywhere Scarty wants to go?"

"——I want to go to the training ground and practice fighting." Skadi looked up at Ceylon, "For the time being, it's the habit of bounty hunters."

"--Eh?"

Ceylon's smile gradually froze.

When Ceylon came back to her senses, the two were already in the infrastructure training ground. Since Skadi's physical strength rating was very high, the exercise equipment basically did not benefit her, and she also believed in the supremacy of actual combat, so the actual combat training ground almost became Her only designated training place.

"Won't Ceylon want to work out with me?"

Skadi stood on the court with his big sword in hand, looking at Ceylon who was standing outside the court.

"—Let's not say that fighting after the tea party is an unladylike thing. He is a medical staff. Is Skadi trying to kill me with a drill?!"

Ceylon reluctantly bent the corners of her mouth, revealing an ugly smile.

"It won't hurt Ceylon, probably."

"What is approximate! And even if my current level of rescue can save a dying person, being touched by that sword can't save me!"

Ceylon pointed to the great sword behind Skadi with the handle of the parasol. Only the enemy and his comrades knew how terrifying that weapon was with Skadi's indescribable physical strength.

After finishing speaking, Ceylon noticed Skadi's expression.

She was tilting her head slightly, with a slight smile in her indifferent eyes, obviously she was joking with Ceylon just now.

This made Ceylon dumbfounded, feeling helpless and spoiled by Skadi's childlike pranks.

"I really envy you for being so leisurely. Isn't it that only the Inspectorate is as busy as before?"

At this time, a helpless voice sounded from the side, and Shi Huaiya, who had just got off work, was standing behind Ceylon.

"Gui An, Shi Huai Ya and Chen."

So Ceylon politely greeted Shi Huaiya and Chen who was standing next to her.

"I received an invitation from Skadi, so we came." Chen held the handle of the sword at his waist, and slowly took off the work card, "Just as an exercise after work."

"What a mess—won't you go to the gym if you want to exercise!"

Shi Huaiya flicked her tail dissatisfied.

"After all, there are some things that cannot be experienced in the gym, are you right, Skadi." Chen walked up to the battle stage, and instead of looking at Skadi, he looked at Ceylon, "In addition, I heard from Shining that the recent medical The experiments in the laboratory have been suspended?"

"Yes, it seems to be the meaning of the doctor. It is said that there will be work adjustments in the future, so I will stop for now~"

"No wonder so many people are busy lately, although that's not a bad thing."
