Aili, who was pulling Fu Hua through Sky Dome City, suddenly turned to look in the direction of Heliopos Life Science.
"What's wrong?" Fu Hua also turned to look with Aili.
"Nothing, it's just that our Serpent still hasn't calmed down yet ♬ ~" Aili shook her head and said.
"Then should we go back?"
"No, now is the time for shopping. Work can wait until tomorrow." With that, Aili pulled Fu Hua and walked towards the snack street she had just seen.
Fu Hua let Aili pull her along, and before long, their hands were filled with many snacks.
Sitting on a bench by the roadside.
Aili ate in small bites.
Seeing Fu Hua sitting motionless, Aili directly put the pancake in her hand to Fu Hua's mouth.
"What are you thinking about? Right now, we just need to eat ♬ ~"
Looking at the pancake by her mouth and Aili's gentle smile.
Fu Hua took a bite, then took the pancake from Aili's hand.
"Is it really okay for us two to be like this?"
"Which aspect are you talking about? Is it us leisurely shopping like this, or not caring about Heliopos Life Science?" Aili took out another skewer.
"Heliopos Life Science, will they really not evacuate directly?" Fu Hua still looked worriedly in the direction of Heliopos Life Science.
"Don't worry, Hua, the people within Heliopos Life Science are not very united," Aili took a small bite of the skewer.
"The Miss Raven we met right after getting off the battleship, her not leaving Heliopos Life Science directly is already considering her colleagues."
"Plus, their laboratory is very large. If they wanted to move, let alone one night, even if you gave them two more days, they wouldn't be able to finish moving." After speaking, Aili picked up an ice cream again, scooped out a spoonful, and handed it to Fu Hua.
"Do you know them well?" Fu Hua asked after eating the ice cream in one bite.
"Know them well? Not really. I only know a few of them, but this Miss Raven..." As she spoke, Aili scooped another spoonful of ice cream, blew on it by her mouth, and then put it in her mouth.
After the ice cream went down, "This Miss Raven, although not a particularly upright person, still has human emotions."
"So, for Heliopos Life Science, or the World Serpent organization she is currently in, she is just working for money."
"In short, Miss Raven is neither a good person nor a bad person." Aili said, nodding her head.
"What about the other people in World Serpent?"
"Others? The ones I've met are Raven, Gray Serpent, and a perverted woman named Jackal." As she spoke, Aili showed a disgusted expression.
"Gray Serpent is a follower of Kevin."
"That Jackal, the recent Honkai incident in Sky Dome City, should be her doing."
"After all, I just heard Miss Raven call Mr. Gray Snake." As she spoke, Aili pointed to her ear.
"Is that so? What did they say?" Fu Hua asked curiously.
What kind of person would make Aili use the word 'pervert'?
"Just like a normal mad scientist, unwilling to give up her experimental results, and then unwilling to listen to Miss Raven's advice to evacuate."
"Does Aili really hate scientists?" Fu Hua asked curiously.
"Eh? Why would you ask that?" Aili looked at Fu Hua strangely. Did her tone just now make people think she hated scientists?
"It's just the first time I've seen you dislike someone so much."
"( ´ ﾟ ω ﾟ )?" Aili tilted her head in confusion.
"I've never heard you use 'pervert' to describe someone, and with such undisguised dislike in your tone," Fu Hua said calmly.
"I see, but that Jackal is truly a pervert." As she spoke, Aili told Fu Hua about the time Jackal was lie on the healing pod, looking at her with hungry eyes.
"Otto's actions are much better than hers. At least, Otto wouldn't look at me with those lab rat eyes." As she spoke, Aili hugged her arms and rubbed them.
"Just because of this, Aili, you wouldn't dislike her so much, would you?" Fu Hua nodded and said.
After a moment of silence from Aili.
"Hua, do you remember Dr. Maji from our previous mission?" Aili said softly.
"Yes, I remember."
"If Dr. Maji hadn't defected from Schicksal because of the death of his family, I, Aili, would have disliked Dr. Maji just as much." Aili said, looking at the sky.
"Or rather, compared to the awakened Dr. Maji, I would rather Dr. Maji remain that mad scientist."
"In that case, even if I disliked him very much, I wouldn't say it directly, because I know that what he researched is very useful."
"But this Jackal, she's different. All of her inventions can be said to be for slaughter, or rather, to satisfy her twisted psychological state."
"I... really dislike this kind of madman, or pervert."
"Those who are pitiable must have something hateful about them, but on this Jackal, I only see the word 'madman'."
"Can you understand what I mean, Hua?"
After speaking, Aili looked at Fu Hua, wanting to hear what she would say.
"You're overthinking it. I just wanted to know why you dislike her." Fu Hua reached out and rubbed Aili's head.
"Hurry up and eat what you bought, it'll get cold soon." After speaking, Fu Hua looked in the direction of Heliopos Life Science.
'Jackal, what exactly have you done?' Fu Hua thought with a calm expression.
"Hua, honestly, I don't really dislike Jackal as a person, but rather... I dislike Jackal's disregard for life." Aili said while eating.
Jackal is undoubtedly a genius, a genius like Dr. Maji.
