Early in the morning, before the sun was up, Elfrid opened his eyes and sat up straight. He glanced at Xiao Ran, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. He stood up unhurriedly and put the quilt and the mattress aside before walking out of the bedroom.
In the living room, he saw Law snoring on the sofa. One of his feet was hanging off the sofa, and he was fast asleep. The coffee table in front of the sofa was full of small probes that Law spent the whole night making. After taking a look at those things, El Erf went to the horizontal table next to the window sill, turned on the monitor on the table, and put on his headphones.
From the monitor, he could see that Chidori was still lying on the bed. Her posture was different from when El Erf went in at night, which meant that Chidori had returned to her normal sleeping state. Other than Chidori's steady breathing, there was no other sound.
After nodding, El Erf took off his headphones and went into the bathroom. He took a leisurely shower, then changed into a set of casual clothes and went into the kitchen. He skillfully took out the ingredients for making breakfast from the refrigerator and began to work in the kitchen.
As a professional intelligence and agent, El Erf's skills are quite complex and varied. Not to mention making breakfast, even if El Erf was in charge of three meals a day, it would be more than enough. And the quality of the food is far more reliable than Xiao Ran, who has never been in the kitchen since he came to Prometheus.
First, he washed the rice and put it into the rice cooker. Then, he washed the other ingredients with water. His hands moved, leaving afterimages behind as he began to perform his tasks in the kitchen. For a moment, the kitchen was filled with the sound of the knife swinging and the crisp sound of the knife swinging. He kneaded the dough and cracked the eggs, boiled or boiled the vegetables, and even took the time to boil a pot of delicious soup. His movements were so nimble that it seemed like he was a veteran for many years.
No one knew when Xiao Ran had woken up. With a toothbrush in his mouth, he looked at El Erf, who was busy in the kitchen. Luo, who was snoring, also opened his eyes. He sat on the sofa and stared blankly at the busy figures in the kitchen. When the two saw this scene, they once again felt that their cognition had been overturned. It was as if they had not woken up from a dream, but the fragrance at the tip of their nose told them that this was all reality.
By the time Xiao Ran returned to the living room after brushing his teeth and washing his face, El Erf, who was wearing an apron, had already placed a stack of side dishes on the table. Together with soup and rice, it looked like a sumptuous breakfast. El Erf, on the other hand, continued wiping the stove and washing the tools in the kitchen. Then, he unhurriedly took out a clean lunch box and placed the lunch he had prepared for himself into it.
Xiao Ran shook his head and patted Law, who was still in a daze. "Go wash up, then go to bed and rest."
Law rubbed his eyes to wake himself up. He stood up and stretched. He yawned and said, "It's okay. It's actually quite comfortable to sleep on the sofa."
Elelv took off his apron and walked over. He didn't seem to find it strange that he went into the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous breakfast for the three of them. He still had that indifferent expression on his face. In fact, it wasn't that Elelv didn't have feelings. It was just that his own experience had made it impossible for him to express his feelings properly. Often, he would think of things with a higher success rate and better feasibility in mind. Therefore, it was true that his EQ was lower, which led to some problems in his values, but he definitely wasn't the kind of person who didn't have any values and feelings.
When the three of them sat down at the table, Xiao Ran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after taking his first bite. To be honest, Elelv's food was definitely better than what he had imagined. In fact, it was much better than the food he had made. At the very least, it was like heaven and earth compared to the food he had made.
Luo, like Xiao Ran, first tried a bite, and then found that the taste was really good. He ate in big mouthfuls, and while eating, he took the time to give Elelv a thumbs up, "I didn't expect you to be so good. It seems that we don't have to eat takeout every day."
In response to Law's compliment, Elelv said flatly, "I know how to make 32 dishes, 15 types of fried rice, and 8 types of stew. Because I may be exposed to related missions, I was trained when I was young. Each dish is made after a long period of training. I've learned the exact size and quantity of the ingredients, the amount and type of seasonings, the time and temperature of the stir-frying, the ingredients, the seasonings, and the contact area of the tableware. It's just like how you make a batch of missiles. If you're willing to learn, I can send the detailed information to your computer. As long as you're a normal person, the dishes made according to the information should taste exactly the same."
"Well, at least in the group of people who trained with me, everyone's food tastes the same."
"Cough, cough, cough …" Law suddenly coughed with a red face. Xiao Ran rolled his eyes and handed Law a glass of water, then patted him on the back. After drinking the water, Law let out a long sigh and said to El Erf helplessly, "Phew, I almost thought I was going to die here. How can you cook like this? This is not making tools. To make delicious food, you need to put in your emotions, you know?"
"Sorry, I don't understand what it means to put in your emotions while cooking." After putting down his chopsticks and bowl, he returned to the front of the surveillance equipment. Coincidentally, the target mission, Qianniao, had already woken up. At this moment, the scene of Qianniao taking off her clothes and preparing to change into her school uniform appeared in the screen. However, she aimed her back at the camera that Elelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelel
Even so, El Erf could clearly see Chidori's smooth and tender back on the screen. It seemed to reveal a faint feeling of crystal. The curve of her body may make people feel hot, but all this fell into El Erf's eyes as if he was looking at a blank piece of paper. It did not arouse any emotions at all.
"The target has woken up and started to change her clothes. It is estimated that she will leave the residence in 30 minutes." El Erf reported to Xiao Ran with his back facing her, then stood up and went straight into the bedroom.
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and looked at Law, "What did he just say?"
"The target has woken up and started to change … clothes?" Law repeated El Erf's words, then repeated the last four words with Xiao Ran, "Change clothes?"
In the next second, the two of them found a deep smile in each other's eyes at the same time, but they did not move to admire the beautiful scenery on the screen behind them. Neither of them was a real pervert, otherwise, Law would have had a real woman until now. Even the straightforward girl in the SEED world had not completely opened up to him yet.
Of course, Xiao Ran may not be confident in this regard, but if he really wanted to do it, he would only do it to the people he liked. And now, he was not like some people who could not control themselves. He really had feelings for Sherry Dew and Mary, so it was impossible for him to let them go. Even if Xiao Ran was aware of Ryukino's feelings for himself, he was not really sure if he had the same feelings for her. Xiao Ran maintained a normal relationship with them, so a Chidori who he had never met before, even if she stood in front of him naked, would have no interest in Xiao Ran.
As for El Erf, Xiao Ran and Law, of course, did not think that El Erf would do anything when he saw Chidori's body. Except for the fact that El Erf had a normal view of women, other women were probably no different from white pigs in his eyes.
While Xiao Ran was eating with a smile on his face, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind. 'There's also the promise I made to Elelv. It seems like I can't delay this matter any longer. With the current strength and income of the army, with a stable logistics base and a territory of my own, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for me to provide for one person for free.'
After putting down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, a card suddenly appeared in Xiao Ran's hand. At this time, El Erf came out with a shoulder bag and a paper bag. When his eyes fell on the card in Xiao Ran's hand, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flashed a few times and finally returned to normal.
El Erf, who did not say a word, was not as calm as he appeared to be after seeing the card. There were some fluctuations in his heart because of the card, but at least for now, El Erf was able to control his emotions very well. After putting all the things on the coffee table in front of the sofa into his backpack, he sat on the sofa and took out a pistol, a submachine gun, two daggers, a few grenades, a smoke bomb, and a flash bomb. From time to time, his eyes would look at the several screens of the surveillance equipment.
When he saw the figure on the screen open the door and walk out, he quickly put away all the things he had taken out. The pistol was tucked under his armpit, the dagger was hidden behind his back, and the grenade and submachine gun were put into his backpack. Carrying the paper bag and the lunchbox, he hurriedly opened the door and left.
After El Erf left, Xiao Ran also nodded to Law, then took the initiative to clean up the things on the table and put them back to their original position. After rushing Law to the bedroom to rest, Xiao Ran sat on the sofa and thought.
"From today onwards, Elelf will be able to officially come into contact with Chidori. For a short period of time or even for a long period of time, he will be able to follow Chidori as a guard. He will not be able to leave at all, and the mission of protecting Chidori only requires Elelf alone. Then, the only ones who really need to arrange the next step are me and Luo."
"Law is currently the only combat power among the three of us, and he also serves as the technical staff. The latter is far more important than the former, but once Law leaves, we will be in a situation where we lack combat power. If we need to use the mech in a battle, it will be a tragedy if Law is not there. It seems that Law will be restricted here."
"In the end, the one who has nothing to do here is still me?" Xiao Ran rubbed his head and thought, "The key is, what can I do? Sneak into the military like in the previous mission and find a way to get more power? But I have no understanding of the military in this world, and I don't have the opportunity to experience the world before. And this world doesn't seem to have a suitable opportunity for me to get involved in the military. "
"No identity, no support, no background, and more importantly, no opportunity. In order to keep a low profile, I can't rely on the mech's ability to quickly climb up the ranks after joining the military. Even if I choose to join the military, I won't be able to achieve some of my goals in about three months. And the military here in Japan is too weak to really help us effectively."
"In the end, it's better to have a relationship with Mithril, but to have a relationship with Mithril, I still have to wait for an opportunity. But if I can accumulate more advantages in these three months, it will be more beneficial for the next mission. Now that I'm at a disadvantage and can't be exposed, it's best to follow the development of the plot and establish a relationship with Mithril. But the sooner the better to analyze the AS technology of this world, the better. And it also needs Law to do it himself. So I still have to get Law into Mithril first?"
"Then at least … I need to get a mech that I can pilot."
Xiao Ran had a headache over the arrangement of the main mission for the next three months. El Erf, who had left the door, followed Chidori and began to head towards the school.
Compared to the real bodyguard Sagara Sosuke, El Erf was more familiar with some of the concepts and habits of ordinary society. He was also not like the guy who had never been in contact with normal society before. He was a little neurotic in the face of everything, and often made some funny things happen.
