Book 4: Chapter 25: Facing a Catastrophe Head-On

“It can’t be helped. Nightingale felt much better after eating your medicine and insisted on coming with me. However, don’t worry. Although I am just a Medic, I can protect myself.” Although Shining said that, she looked at Nightingale with doting eyes.

“So, it is my fault?”

“Actually, He Who Knows Fate, you don’t have to blame yourself—although it is indeed your fault.”

...” If you weren’t my waifu and I didn’t know you were joking, I would push you to the ground and smack your breasts.

“I’m just joking. He Who Knows Fate, you don’t have to take it seriously.”

“I did not think you were serious. However, you seem to be in a good mood.” Over the past two days, the Shining Chen Heng had seen was not a facetious person. However, she was joking with him now. Does this mean our friendship has advanced further? Or is she just in a good mood?

“Shining, is this He Who Knows Fate?” Chen Heng looked in the voice’s direction and saw a squirrel. Alright, that was rude. It should be a fully armored squirrel. Look at that person’s large tail.

“Indeed. This is He Who Knows Fate.”The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

“Hello, He Who Knows Fate. I’m Nearl. Thank you very much for treating Nightingale and giving her the secret medicine. If you need help, you can come to me. I am quite confident in my defense.” Upon saying this, Nearl patted the thick armor on her front.

“It looks like Shining, Nightingale, and you have a good relationship.” Based on Chen Heng’s understanding, most operators were part of teams before joining Rhodes Island. Some operators even joined as a team, so these cliques were quite normal. However, what’s up with two Medics and one Guard?

That means they truly treat Shining as a Vanguard? Also, Rhodes Island truly has a high ratio of females to males...

“He Who Knows Fate, don’t underestimate Nearl or her promise. Nearl is the Radiant Knight. She is very strong, and her promises are very precious.”

“Radiant Knight, this title sounds incredible.” This time, Chen Heng sized Nearl up with a serious gaze.

Nightingale did not immediately accept, turning her head to look at Shining.

“Take it.” Although Shining did not want to owe Chen Heng more, Nightingale was about to enter the battlefield. It would be better if her recovery advanced further.

“Alright.”

“Mister He Who Knows Fate, you are finally here.” Amiya, who had been busy for quite a while, brought over an operator who gave Chen Heng the impression of a hunting dog.

“Dobermann, this is He Who Knows Fate. Kal’tsit said you could take his opinion during this operation. Kal’tsit mentioned him to you already, right?”

[TL Note: Dobermann’s profile: /wiki/Dobermann/Story.]

“Kal’tsit told me.”

Dobermann? A Doberman Pinscher? No wonder.

[TL Note: Here is more information on the Doberman Pinscher breed of dogs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dobermann.]

“He Who Knows Fate, this is Dobermann, one of the people in charge of this operation. She is also the drill instructor of Rhodes Island.”

“How do you do, Dobermann.”

“Hello, He Who Knows Fate. Since Kal’tsit said that, it means you have some special ability. After all, Kal’tsit never says anything unnecessary. However, please do not disrupt my arrangements on the battlefield if there are no special circumstances.”

“I might not fully understand all this, as my tactical acumen is only Flawed; however, I will not do anything I’m not good at. I will only provide some help during the operation. Don’t worry. I’m a very good teammate to have.” The kind that can face a catastrophe head-on.
