1115 Words
I called Dooma over, asked him to show Drusilla around the base, he agreed well, good boy.
After Drusilla toured the base with Dooma, I went to the bathroom to wash up.
The cold water rushing into my body made me more awake, I thought about the long day.
After showering, I put on my simple everyday clothes and went out to find some breakfast.
An exhausting night of action, I was also very hungry.
- At the base dining room -
I cleared my throat and said: "Azure, are you here?"
"Next...Edge..." - The sound echoed along with the engine's start.
Azure said: "Good morning master! Pleased to serve you, here is the menu this morning."
Having said that, in the air appeared an electronic board of various kinds of food.
I stared at the screen for a moment, determined to order a croissant and a hot espresso.
After ordering, I took out my phone and decided to call Dooma to bring Drusilla here for breakfast.
Before I called, Dooma pushed open the door of the dining room and entered, babbling in introduction: "This is the dining room of the base, the menu changes every day. Our Miss Azure cooks very well, absolutely not. inferior to chefs of large restaurants."
Dooma seems very excited about the kitchen and the chef Azure.
"Ohhh, that's great!" - Drusilla exclaims.
Noticing my presence, Dooma and Drusilla greeted me with a smile.
Dooma: "Annette, are you hungry, it's breakfast time!"
Drusilla looked down at her stomach, then back at me, then gave Dooma a casual signal.
She happily took Drusilla to the kitchen to look at the menu.
Drusilla glanced at the menu, seemingly wanting to choose something new.
However, she chose waffles and a glass of hot chocolate.
Dooma is the same as always, it orders a part of the melted ingredients to eat.
At this moment, Azure also brought my food: "Have a good meal master."
"Thanks!"
Azure quickly returned to the kitchen to prepare the meal that Drusilla and Dooma had just ordered.
I turned to Drusilla: "How do you see the base?"
"Hmm, very modern." - replied Drusilla.
"After breakfast, I arrange a room for you, do you have any special requests?"
Drusilla: "Arbitrary."
Drusilla neither salty nor bland replied to me, Azure also brought her food.
I seemed to understand, our brief conversation ended.
After breakfast, I was much more relaxed.
I took out my phone and called the housekeeper to arrange an empty room for Drusilla.
After instructing Dooma to lead Drusilla to her room and some essentials, I also returned to the main office of the base.
- In the main office -
Entering the room, the first thing that caught my eye was the console with a large screen that was reflecting complex data that was constantly updated without stopping.
Around the main screen are small screens, these are monitor screens from cameras scattered throughout areas of the base.
Sitting at the office is a young man who is constantly working on the console, looking lifeless.
Yes, this is a very difficult job and requires a lot of energy and intelligence.
I said hello: "I'm back, where's the processing report?"
After a long time, a lazy voice broke out slowly: "Progress is about 45%, expected to be finished before 14:00."
Althone: "The quest I did last night failed."
"..."
About 15 minutes later, the man cleared his throat and replied: "Oh, is that so."
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet as if no one was present.
The boy who had been sitting on the new office chair on the main street turned around, his name was Zero.
Looking at him, he had white skin that seemed to be able to see the rhythmic pulsation of his blood vessels.
The slightly long black hair, dotted with a few outstanding silver strands, appeared to have not been trimmed in a while.
Although the hair partially obscured the face, it was still vague to identify this person's five senses extremely delicately, like a doll made by a skilled craftsman.
His posture was extremely lazy, his eyes closed and opened slowly, a rare light gray color.
Grey slowly removed the lollipop he was sucking, and said: "Do you know how many missions Benny has missed this month?" - The voice sounded very calm, without much emotion.
Althone: "I know."
Zero: "Yes, I know! So why fail?"
"..."
"Handling these things is troublesome, I'm lazy."
Althone: "This is a special case, I'll talk about it in detail later tonight."
Zero: "I see, ask Dooma to bring me breakfast."
Althone: "Okay, is Melona here?"
Zero: "It's been over a week and I haven't come back."
Althone: "I'll be back in the evening!"
Seeing that I was about to go to the front door, Zero lazily called out: "Pain au chocolate and Au lait!"
"If you eat a lot of sweets, you'll probably die soon, Zero!"
"..."
With that said, I told Dooma to bring breakfast to Zero's office.
Well, at least he had breakfast.
After finishing work at Zero's, I went back to my office, opposite the main office.
Resolving myself, I dialed the phone and called the housekeeper to the room.
"Knock knock." - There was a knock on the door, I looked through the controller to know it was the housekeeper, pressed the button to open the door.
A middle-aged man wearing a tailcoat entered, walking with poise and sophistication like a butler.
"Hello master, what are you calling me for?" - Viktor spoke up.
Althone: "Is there no problem with what I gave you?"
Viktor: "I've completed the master's assignment, no problem."
Althone: "Then report the situation when you're not at home."
Viktor: "Recently, the rats have been prowling around the base area, I got rid of them. The security system of the base was also upgraded by Mr. Zero 2 days ago. The tasks that Mr. Benny did. I did not finish it, I finished it. Ms. Melona has been out looking for parts for more than a week, she just called to say that she will be back tonight or tomorrow morning..."
Althone: "Very well, continue like that. As for the new guest, keep an eye on her for the time being. If she has any requests, please respond and then report back to me. At the same time, I need you to find out. all the vampire material and then send it to me. That's all, during the time I'm not here you did a great job."
Viktor: "Understood, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first, master."
I waved my hand in agreement, Viktor bowed to me and left the office.
