NO. 43: A Uniquely Styled Girls' Dormitory

I'm really grateful today, Mr. Aomo.

You flatter me, Miss Adel.

The youth who seemed to be standing by the stairs on the screen spoke calmly, while Adel sat in her company dorm, tightening the earphones pressed to her pointed ears, and added: "No, my gratitude is absolutely not an exaggeration."

You not only brought the Feng Shui Master who pacified the Renlong, but also personally assisted in controlling the negative energy; you know, those three guards were all amazed by your ability.

Really...

Yes, Mr. Aomo, they couldn't condense and guide the negative energy like that.

It seems they prefer to refine their directional skills.

Perhaps? But regardless, regarding your extra assistance this time, seniors and Miss Muel Sais have suggested I express my thanks again.

Indeed, those two's performance in interpersonal relations is flawless, but you don't need to follow their advice too closely, Miss Adel.

No, this is just a matter of expression—

I understand, you want to say you truly feel grateful and aren't just blindly following opinions, right? But my stance remains, and I must remind you...

Across the screen, the youth finally grew serious: "Since you proactively mentioned that we don't need to use surnames, this double thanks would be even more inappropriate. I guess you didn't tell those two about this, leading them to misjudge."

... Indeed, I think I understand now, sorry, Mr. Aomo.

No need to apologize; I'm not blaming you. In fact, I understand your feelings, but I also want to overstep a bit and give you a suggestion.

Please go ahead.

In trying to express emotions in interpersonal interactions, compared to those two who are adept at socializing, you could consult more with the Beast Lord beside you.

"You mean Dori?" Adel glanced hesitantly at her neat, empty desk.

In most cases, interpersonal dealings can't take shortcuts, because the human heart is more complex than volcanic stone; asking to copy others' methods isn't advisable, even if they handle their own affairs easily.

But... but... the youth on screen said, lifting his head slightly as if thinking, then lowering it again.

If you could directly understand the other's personality model, you could at least simulate the interaction you desire.

Hmm...

Then comes the final advice: treat it as part of consultation, don't blindly trust.

Eh? Is it because of changes in the human heart?

Yes, personality isn't eternal and unchanging.

Mr. Aomo, you're indeed very adept.

Just joking; I still often feel the human heart is fickle and unpredictable, with many corners I can't reach, so now I can only treat my gains as experience to talk about.

I feel like I have to express thanks again.

Then I'm truly humbled; how about Miss Adel brings up the salary again?

Eh? But bringing it up now would require a meeting with everyone.

"Just joking," the other also chuckled lightly, "the previous raise was already unexpected; if I may say, I already felt Miss Adel's gratitude back then."

Mr. Aomo is unexpectedly pragmatic in this regard.

Indeed, I think all ideals in this world must be grounded in reality; however, if Miss Adel has nothing else, I must take my leave, as I have two girls waiting for me to report their running timings.

Ah, sorry, I didn't expect you'd still be training at this time.

No problem, it's indeed hard to imagine; then I'll take my leave, see you next time, Miss Adel.

Goodbye, Mr. Aomo.

The petite researcher said, and after seeing the other end the call, she also took off her headphones, then noticed three girls with distinctive features surrounding her.

She wasn't surprised by this, after all, these people are her roommates.

Rhodes Island's company dorms standardly house four per room, though one can apply for a single room based on work or personal need; as a senior operator, Adel Neumann naturally has that right.

But she still had no intention of doing so.

This is both because she's satisfied with her current roommates, and because her past hearing impairment gave her a habit.

Although many disabled patients are overly sensitive to their flaws, even to the point of overcompensating to hide them, she is able to face her shortcomings.

She openly acknowledges the inconvenience of living alone and does not refuse necessary help.

So when her former Terra roommates also finally crossed over here and were assigned to the same room, she naturally saw no need to apply for a single room.

"How about it? Ayyafara, is that man the consultant you mentioned before?"

Although Rhodes Island Company now also follows local customs with 'true name liberation' for everyone, there are still many newcomers from the old country who habitually use codenames.

Thus Adel's codename, derived from 'Ayyafara Volcano,' often resurfaces in the dorm.

After all, two people in the house have only been here a few months; one is the wolf-eared woman with a huge fluffy tail who is currently calling her.

Her codename is Provence; in the geological survey field, she is a senior like the horned woman with the codename Geolinger.

But in terms of age... the other is only slightly older than her, so she will address her.

"Does Sister Provence also have interest in Mr. Aomo?"

When we're out on fieldwork and get bored, can't we just look at our phones? Puluowangsi's pair of purple ears twitched slightly, his golden eyes full of enthusiasm. "I saw several posts about him last month, and this month there's gossip from Penguin Logistics—I didn't expect he'd saved you last week, so it's hard not to be curious."

"Can't you read more professional material when you're on your phone?" The Earth Spirit beside him was somewhat speechless.

"It doesn't matter, Puluowangsi won't skip class." Code name Maizhelun, a woman with short brown hair streaked with white highlights, Weienta Maizhelun, who also had considerable achievements in geological fieldwork, just shrugged her shoulders, accustomed to her roommate Zhang Chi's composure.

Out of the four people in the room, three were formerly Heavenly Disaster Messengers, and the other is a full-time geological field specialist—who could really be slacking?

"You're already reading professional material and still call it playing on your phone! Earth Spirit, you've changed—you're clearly anti-overtime, yet you're trying to push me into overworking."

"... Stop messing around, you're not asking about Aiyafala's consultant, are you?" The Earth Spirit was somewhat speechless.

"Oh right, when I came back I heard Miumiu say that this thing is even similar to a collapsed entity?" Maizhelun also said interestedly.

"It's pretty far off……" Upon mentioning this, Adier immediately sat up straight and began to explain today's events.

The topic was once again diverted.

Compared to gossip, it's still more likely that bringing up academic topics will concern the people in this dorm.
