Thin drops of water rose up from the coffee cup, and the faint white mist painted something, and then immediately erased it again.
It's raining in Rhode Island.
The girl twitched her big ears twice, and after a while they relaxed and hung down. Her tail on the sofa behind her waggled slightly twice.
She didn't say anything, she just held her cup with both hands and looked out the window quietly.
Through another layer of mist, the man behind the table made no sound and looked at the girl quietly.
She has long white hair, red eyes, something between a girl and a woman, and a childish and delicate face.
The beauty is silent, as quiet as a stone statue.
My name is Doctor, and I am a Doctor... No, my name is Doctor, and I am a Tool... Forget it, this is whatever.
All in all, I seemed to be awakened from a deep sleep and lost almost all my memories for reasons that are still unknown. I was told that I was originally a mineral disease researcher affiliated with the pharmaceutical company "Rhode Island" and an important person in the organization.
He is also the combat commander of this armed organization. Now he has returned to the Rhode Island Maritime Mobile Base.
Rhodes Island provided me with a separate office and room - although the resources do not seem to be sufficient to allocate individual rooms to people at will. I am trying to adapt to everything I need to be familiar with including my original research work, command work, etc.
.
In order to get familiar with the people in Rhode Island and the work of each department, my assistants are now taking turns.
The person who is here to serve as my assistant today is the hard-to-reach former mercenary, the Volper fox girl, Frost Leaf.

I've been a little worried about this happening since the day I got the schedule. Well, as expected, Shuangye and I couldn't talk at all.
Should I say it's because she has too much personality, or is it because she is too cold and difficult to approach...
She came to report early in the morning, not too early, just when I opened the office door to go to work. In terms of punctuality, there is nothing to fault.
Then she got stuck outside the door - because of the giant ax gun she brought with her.
I have told the operators before that since I have an escort to protect me, I don’t have to bring my own weapons when I do my assistant work. But it seems that this does not completely prohibit the operators from bringing their own weapons.
Weapons were brought into my office. I had to take this issue as their own personality.
But most of the operators' weapons are not as...personalized as Frostleaf's. To put it more bluntly, her weapons are unusually large.
Although she later adopted the method of being carried in flat, she found that the room was a bit small. If she waved the weapon in it, it would not hurt the items, but I might be affected.
Just as she frowned, Bai Xue came out of nowhere. "I will be responsible for the security of the doctor's office, please don't worry." Then she put the weapon back in the room.
When she came back, she apologized politely and said hello again (to Bai Xue, who didn't know where she was). "The doctor's office is surprisingly small." "Did you think it would be bigger?" "I have always been there before.
I thought it would be about the same size as the training ground." "If that's the case, I will be exhausted from walking..." "...Um, I was joking." Shuangye seemed to be swaying in embarrassment.
Twice the tail.
"Ah...that's it." It was a bit of a joke that she didn't know how to reply to. What's more, she was so serious when she said it that no one would even think it was a joke.
"That's right." She nodded slightly.
Then there was no special exchange. No more.
Oops, how do you understand someone who can only nod and shake his head when answering questions? Now I really want to post a post on the Rhode Island forum and ask some gods to teach me how to operate... However, our company
There is no such loving and convenient internal forum.
She seems to be looking at the rain... However, I don't have the ability to start the topic from the rain.
Maybe it would be better to start the topic in terms of clothing and accessories?
Bandana, SINY's latest headphones, jacket, black skirt, metal kneepads, thick-soled tactical boots, eh.
What should I start with???
This kind of cool, flawless and even dressed up with combat practicality in mind, I can’t find a way to start the topic? I don’t understand anything about clothes, skirts, headphones, etc.?
I can only do that much work by myself. Damn it, for the first time, I expect to have a little more work today. If I finish the work, won't I just be in an embarrassing situation with nothing to say?
The trouble continues.
F
I originally wanted to lighten the mood by joking...but it failed.
I was such a failure because I couldn't liven up the atmosphere. For the first time, I discovered that I had no talent for comedy, and for the first time I felt sorry for it.
How should I speak...
I was holding a cup of hot coffee that the doctor poured for me in both hands. Maybe there was no change in my expression, but I was really worrying about this problem seriously.
I've been worried about this week's shift schedule since I learned about it. If anyone close to me can give me some advice on how to spend a day with people in the same room, I'd be really grateful. I'd be willing to help him three times. No,
Five combat missions.
But I don’t have anyone so close to me. If I want to talk about someone I’m familiar with...it seems like there’s only Instructor Robin, right? But I really don’t want to ask her this question. Ah, no, I don’t hate the instructor. She treats me very well.
It's not very strict. She said that because my combat skills have reached a relatively advanced stage, I only need to complete basic training every day. But I am still afraid of the scene where she teaches people, "How to get along well with others."
I don’t think it’s anyone’s turn to ask her this question.
I also thought about others, such as Miss Zilan and Miss Hemer. But Miss Zilan works overtime in the Human Resources Department every day, and I really can’t bear to disturb her work; Dr. Hemer... I know she is a worthy person.
Dear doctor and researcher, but she stays in the research laboratory most of the time, and takes care of Ifrit at other times. She also suffers from inexplicable daytime narcolepsy, so there is no way to trouble her. And there is
...
When I saw her and Miss White-faced Owl, I didn't know why, but I felt uncontrollably hungry.
My throat rolled down. I'm so sorry...
I put aside the idea of looking forward to lunch in advance and started thinking about this problem again.
I can't help the doctor with his work...after all, the doctor's work is very complicated, and I...
Although there is nothing that can be done about it, it is really strange that such an old person is still illiterate...
Otherwise, it would be good to give up communication and wear headphones?
No, no, no! Even I know this is very rude behavior.
What should I do...even the coffee is almost finished.
It would have been nice if I had asked someone to ask at that time. I even started to regret that I didn’t ask instructor Robin for consultation.
D
It's probably a lie that having a good-looking person next to you will improve your mood while working.
I don't mean to look down on Ms. Zilan who mentioned this issue to me. I believe in her attainments in psychology and various miscellaneous subjects. But now I really doubt the correctness of this theory.
When it comes to work, it is definitely something that makes people worry. No matter how much people love their work, they will definitely have negative emotions about their work even once.
Shuang Ye, who is sitting on the sofa, is probably the type who has more negative emotions about work. From now on, she has been frowning from time to time, and even sighing. The troubled expression is all on her face. Such a How can I be in a better mood to work when people are in front of me? It’s impossible not to worry!
But she doesn’t seem to be doing any work?
I suddenly reacted and touched the scar on my cheek with my fingers. Am I too ugly?
Well, I am definitely too ugly. Who would like this kind of face that is not strong at all and has scars... Haha.
Shuangye suddenly stood up, and I was so frightened that I suddenly sat upright. Wait, calm down, I am the boss now. I hinted to myself again. Speaking of which, why did I have such a subconscious action? I don’t understand. .
Isn't her movement too big when she stood up? And the steps were also sonorous and powerful... Shuangye walked straight to the largest bookcase in the room and took out one of the folders.
etc.
My memory went back to a month ago. Warfarin came to explain to me, who had just arrived in Rhode Island, the conditions of some operators suffering from ore disease. "...Then there is Xiao Shuangye, her condition also belongs to It's more serious, but I'm controlling it pretty well now." Warfarin, who had always looked pale, stared at me with her somewhat scary eyes, and then said as if she suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, tell me. Qi Xiaoshuangye, although some of her things have nothing to do with you, I think it's better for you to know first."
As she spoke, Warfarin drank the black tea with a complex expression. "How should I put it...that child always dresses up cool, right? In fact, she is more delicate and brave at heart. She has been a child since she was very young. A mercenary, so she has no formal education - she has never told anyone about this." Then she sighed deeply. "Maybe she even has problems with the spelling of some difficult words. The vocabulary is simply not enough. So, never ask her to handle paperwork - she will never refuse, but she will definitely be worried about not being able to do it for a long time. If possible, don't give her more professional books or old scripts."
"I understand." I nodded. "But I don't quite understand why I can't show her the old scripts?"
"...You are so awesome, why don't you go and read the complete works of Shakespeare?"
My thoughts return to the present.
I saw the label of that folder.
"Compilation and evaluation report of some advanced Originium skills".
F
The coffee was finally finished. However, I still didn't think clearly about how to speak.
I changed my sight from outside the window to indoors. Can I find any breakthrough from here...
I saw a large bookcase in the most prominent place in this office.
Although I am a little reluctant to read, but... maybe studying it will help?
Okay, I made up my mind, walked to the bookcase, took down a file at random, and returned to the sofa.
Come on, long lost study time...! I firmly opened the thick folder in my hand.
I gave up.
I've obviously learned how to spell, so why can't I even read the subtitles...
When I was in a daze, the doctor's voice came over.
"Shuangye, are you looking for some books to read?" The doctor's voice seemed a little complicated. "There are non-work books on the small bookshelf over there."
"......okay."
...He already knows that I am illiterate!!!!!
Why do I feel so sad inside...
I stuffed the file back into the bookcase and went to the small bookshelf at the other end of the room.
But I'm still embarrassed to say... "Actually, I'm not even very good at reading novels." How can I say this?
"...There are also comics."
Ah... In addition to comics, there is even a picture book...
"......Um."
Although I have spoken, this is not the result I want at all...
D
Then Shuangye lowered his ears, took a book and returned to the sofa with a red face.
...Why does it seem like I bullied her?
But this look is really cute, and it is completely different from her usual calm and silent look.
There's also something very cute about her straightforwardness.
I made the right decision to go to the coffee shop and bring my books back.
W
Although I seem to have expected it to develop like this, it's really a shame that they were able to do it without any communication.
Is this why the Doctor inexplicably brought back a lot of comics on Monday night?
...this subtle atmosphere...
"......thanks for treatment......"
Strange, why do you say that? I haven’t had lunch yet.
