Chapter 59 - Chapter 59 Assistant

"....His name is Callum?"

"Yes. Wait, you didn't know?" Serina whipped around in shock upon hearing that.

"Well. We didn't really introduce ourselves, with our name that is. ...Correction, I introduce myself, but he didn't so I just went and call him Assistant"

"...." too stunned by this reveal, Serina could only say 'I see' before turning to check on Callum.

"....." who remains unconscious on the ground.

"Shouldn't we take him to the infirmary?"

"I saw him get hit in the head by a rock the size of my head once and still doing fine, so it's okay"

"That's...worrying"

Checking to see if there's anything that can support his neck, Serina began looking around the lab, careful not to get too close but keeping her eyes wandering around.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm looking for something to put under his head"

"There's no pillow here"

"Ah, is that so? Hm..., that's a problem"

Serina then ponder for a solution.

"I'm sure he will wake up soon so don't think too hard about it"

"Right, I understand" Serina nodded in understanding at Rualan's words.

"Great. Well then, what- What are you doing?"

"Hm? Giving him a place to rest his head?" replied Serina confused at Rualan's question.

"I meant....why there?"

"Because there's no pillow"

"....."

Currently, Callum is dragged by Serina who is about to place his head on her thighs.

Seeing this, Rualan couldn't help but feel conflicting emotions inside of her.

(...Didn't the two of them just met? How come she's comfortable enough to do this with him already?)

"Let me get you two a blanket then"

"? Oh, no that's fine"

"Its cold outside alright? Can't have my visitor this cold and stuff, and you should get off the floor, there's a bench over there you can use"

"Oh, okay", Serina thanked Rualan before lifting Callum up and carry him to the bench.

"Here you go"

"Thank you"

Rualan then take two steps and sit on the bench next to Serina.

"?"

"I also can't have my guests sitting here without someone to talk to as well"

"Oh, thank you~"

"No problem"

"So, head researcher, what is Callum like?"

(Seriously? Head researcher?)

"Well, he's diligent, hard-working, and surprisingly different than I thought. By the way, you can just call me Rualan, since you're not in my research group it is alright for you to just call me that"

"Okay, Rualan. About, Callum, I would have to agree on those three, I was surprised at first as well when I first met him"

"Was it really that surprising?"

"Yes, we were greeting and saying farewell back and forth even when we were already a distance apart"

"I can imagine that"

"Then we got into talking about how to catch Speedy"

"Yeah, he did say he was going to train with you to catch it"

"And it went on for days as well, we even have a meal together when we were training and hunting at the same time for too long"

Hearing that last part Rualan felt a pang of emotion.

(What is this?) she thought as she continue on listening to Serina's talk about her experience with Callum with a small smile on her face.

"Hm, it's quite cloudy out there" Alaine remarked the dark sky outside while in her room, lights out and in bed.

"Ah, well, it will turn sunny again, don't worry" Shin tightened the embrace, pulling her closer to him.

"Yeah, you're right" Alaine turned around in his embrace and faced Shin.

"What is it?"

"Thanks for staying by my side until I completed my work"

"No probs"

"Heh, your attitude certainly plays a role as well"

"And?"

"And?"

"That other thing also plays a huge role as well~"

"W-Well, ahem, yes it does"

On the 18+ route, there was the Research Competition Arc where Alaine, stuck in a researcher's block and had to find a way to fix it as soon as possible within two weeks!

And that's where the erotic element comes into play.

Alaine Gear can unlock the block inside her head if she starts doing erotic stuff with the protagonist!

"D-Don't think this is special! I-It's just a-a-a celebration that we've been dating for a while now"

'Isn't that the same thing?'

"No, it's not!"

And so the two get busy for a whole day where all sorts of sex scenes are displayed for the players to watch, Shin himself has to watch it while scrolling with one hand at the sight, the blushing face of Alaine, the angle and position of the game, and the length of it as well.

"Sooo...Wanna get some new ideas in your work?"

"Huh? Seriously? It's already perfect"

"No, it's not"

"Huh? How?"

"Because you're perfect"

"....Dammmit"

"Hehe"

"Fine", Alaine got up and push Shin to lie on his back.

"Make me the perfect genius then" she said so while her face turns red and steam came out of her mouth as she pant excitedly.

"You got it~!"
