Looking in the direction pointed by Obert, one should have been able to see the white bear Elaine soaking in the water to cool down, but Hal could not see anyone at all.
Elaine seemed to suddenly disappear into the pool, or as Obert said, "melt into the water."
But how is this possible? This is reality, not science fiction. How could someone suddenly melt in a pool? Such a ridiculous thing...
"Uh... is it Uncle Elaine, meow?" Palem No. 2 (Hal) asked in a low voice full of doubt, "Are you... okay, meow? Where are you, meow?"
"Of course it melted. Look, it's a slime monster!" Obert, the naughty guy on the side, replied in a rough voice, imitating Elaine's voice.
"This is not funny at all, meow." Hal rolled his eyes at the tiger boy and complained in passing: "And Uncle Elaine has a serious stutter, so it's impossible for him to speak so smoothly, meow."
"Who stutters so badly?" At this moment, a young man with snow-white hair and pale skin slowly crawled out of the pool and complained angrily.
And it was a human boy, who looked about ten years old and was rather short. Aubert and the others thought there was no one in the bath just now, but that was not the case, just because the boy's whole body sank into the bath.
And because he is small, he is not easy to see.
"Uh...who are you, meow? Where's Uncle Elaine, meow?" Hal was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. As soon as he came to his senses, he immediately asked: "Where did you hide Uncle Elaine, meow?"
"What the hell." The boy with white hair and fair complexion said, "I am Elaine."
"Huh?" Now not only Hal, but also Obert groaned in confusion.
"How is it possible? Uncle White Bear is doing magic. Are you cooperating with him?" The tiger man grinned casually and said: "Hey, I know, there is a hole under the pool. Uncle White Bear just came from the hole."
I’m going to get out and run away, and then switch contracts with you, right? I’ve seen through it all!”
(What the hell is the pattern? Why does this kid always speak a dialect that no one understands.)
"What's wrong? You're yelling." At this time, Lawrence, who was responsible for watching over the children, also heard the noise and brought Kate over. Obert was so naughty that he was afraid of causing trouble if he was not supervised for a while. Lawrence was actually under pressure
Very big.
"Uncle White Bear disappeared by magic." Obert still stubbornly insisted on his hypothesis.
"ha?"
Lawrence then turned around and looked with suspicion, and what he saw was indeed not the big white bear taking a cold bath to cool down in the bathtub, but a white-haired boy: "This..."
He didn't know what to say for a moment, and he didn't recognize this young man: "My child, who are you? Did the boss invite you to board the ship?"
"I am Elaine!" The young man said with a dumbfounded look on his face, "Don't you all recognize me?!"
"Hmm..." Lawrence frowned: "Stop it, it's not funny at all. Are you an acquaintance of Mr. Elaine? But where did he go?"
"I told you I am Elaine!!" The white-haired boy became even more helpless and shouted.
"Well...child, I suggest you look in the mirror before you say this. ------Eve?"
"The equipment used for optical reflection is ready." Eve, the ship's artificial intelligence guidance system, replied. At the same time, a golden scarab golem flew over and turned into a mirror-like mirror in front of the white-haired boy.
Thing---Although it is quite different from a real mirror to be precise, its surface is at least a mirror and can accurately reflect everything in front of the person looking in the mirror.
"Uh..." The young man saw his reflection in the mirror and was suddenly shocked: "This is...me?"
"Huh?!!!" He seemed to have been greatly shocked. He stretched out his hand to touch his face in disbelief, exclaimed, and then began to shake the mirror in front of him like crazy: "Nonsense! How could that be possible?
!Eh?!"
"Well, stop fooling around. Where did Mr. Elaine go?" Lawrence was a little impatient. Normally, he was very patient with children, but now the situation was a bit urgent: "Elaine
Sir, you have a high fever and you need to use this bath. If you keep having a fever like this, it will burn out your brain------"
"So I have said that I am Elaine!!!!" the young man roared angrily.
"Wow, ah, ah, ah, I'm so scared!" Obert took the lead in escaping, and the other children ran away in a hurry.
"Uh." Seeing the young man getting angry and frightening other children, and the real Elaine missing, Lawrence couldn't help but get angry: "Sir, I don't know who you are, but you are obviously not Mr. Elaine--"
----Not only the appearance is different, but also the habit of stuttering when speaking is gone------Do you really think that I am a fool and will simply believe that you are Mr. Elaine? Unless you can produce any actual evidence.
Prove that you are Mr. Elaine, otherwise------"
Lawrence, who always had a sunny face, rarely looked gloomy: "Otherwise, I will issue an expulsion order and kick you out of this ship."
"Eh------" The white-haired boy sat in the bathtub again and said with a confused look on his face: "Can you help me contact Mr. Bedivere? As long as I can talk to Mr. Bedivere, he will definitely
Believe me."
"Eve?"
"...The communication connection attempt failed. The location of [Combat Module] is subject to strict communication control, and conventional communication channels cannot be used normally."
"Wait a minute, Eve, isn't your host in the [Combat Module]? Then------"
"This is the spare navigation system branch in the [Life Module]. It temporarily takes over the management system of the [Life Module] in split mode, and re-exchanges information with the host after the ship is docked again." Eve replied.
"So now you are like Miss Eve's clone...temporarily." Lawrence hummed.
"Correct." Eve replied without emotion again.
"And there is currently no way to contact the boss." Lawrence frowned again and turned to look at the white-haired boy in front of him: "See? There is no way to contact you. Unless you have other candidates who can prove your identity---
---"
"Constantine." The white-haired boy sitting there was obviously thinking faster than the real White Bear Elaine. At this time, he had already come up with a backup plan: "Please help me contact the Knight of the Round Table, Constantine, in Great Britain."
Ding is a relative and friend of mine. As long as I can talk to him, there will be a way to prove my identity."
"Hmm------" Lawrence hummed doubtfully: "Under normal circumstances, there seems to be no problem in contacting people in Great Britain as the boss. His Majesty the King of Great Britain is an acquaintance of the boss. But now that the boss is not here, I have no problem.
I can’t guarantee that I can contact the other party so easily. What should I do if they ignore me? I can try to contact them, but I can’t guarantee anything.”
"Okay... just contact me quickly!" The white-haired boy got up from the bath: "And... can you get me some clothes?"
Lawrence looked up and down the teenage boy's body: "We only have clothes for smaller children and clothes for adults, but none of your size."
"Eve can use air and water to make clothes." The other party said without thinking.
"The living module of this ship is currently in a low-power operation state, and the production of synthetic products will be suspended." Eve said.
"You must be kidding me------" The white-haired boy covered his head with an annoyed look on his face: "Anyway... at least get me some clothes, okay? Unless you
You want me to walk around naked in the boat."
"Even though it doesn't fit well, I will lend you my clothes first." Lawrence also said with a troubled look on his face: "Stand there, don't move around, don't cause trouble, and just wait for me to come back."
"Whatever you say------" the other party sighed.
Ten minutes later, in the Gothic Cafe on the outskirts of Edinburgh, Constantine's cell phone rang while he was still busy cooking.
"Oh my god, can't I enjoy a day off?" Constantine couldn't help but said angrily when he saw that it was a formal business call from the Knights.
"They won't contact you on vacation without reason." Black Cat (Charlotte) came over and took the pan from Constantine's hand and took over the half-fried vegetables. "I'm still in the store."
Support me. Others will come over to help in two hours. It’s none of your business here. Go and do your official business.”
A drop of sweat broke out on Constantine's forehead: "I'm so sorry, I promised I would come over to help..."
"I'm very happy that you are willing to take your precious time to come and help during your vacation," the black cat patted Constantine on the shoulder and urged in a child-like tone: "Be good, go, go, go, here.
You don’t need to worry about anything."
"I told you not to talk to me in this tone------" Constantine and Charlotte are actually about the same age, almost the same age. He will definitely be angry if he is always treated like a child. He
A little unhappy, I took off my apron and walked out of the back door of the coffee shop. As soon as I left the shop, I picked up the vibrating phone: "What's wrong? Really, have you forgotten that I'm on vacation!?"
This was the second time he was interrupted in one day (the first time was by Daniel). Because he was angry, he said in a very rude tone as soon as he answered the phone.
"Sorry to disturb your vacation." King Arthur's voice came from the other side of the phone: "But someone insisted that he must talk to you, so we took over the communication."
"Uh, Your Majesty!..." When Constantine heard that it was King Arthur on the other side of the phone, Constantine was startled, and his attitude immediately softened: "Sorry, I just------"
"Okay, even I would be furious if I was interrupted during my vacation." King Arthur didn't seem angry, but said in a theatrical tone: "Anyway, you talk to this person first. This must be
It will be fun."
"ha???"
Click. Before Constantine could react, after a sound that seemed to be switching lines, about ten seconds later, another voice, a little unfamiliar and obviously childish, suddenly shouted: "Constantine?"
