Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Cangjiao
Not long after, they also found the location of the tunneling machine. But they had only just gotten close when a sweet and clear female voice came from above. "Please don't come any closer! This is the private domain of me and my lover!"
"Uh, why is there a girl's voice in a place like this?" Ben was a bit confused. The group then followed the sound and looked up together, only to see that their target for this trip was now on top of the white, unfinished building in front of them.
"So it's you! The bad people who are trying to break up me and Mashiro-kun!"
"Wow! It's only been a few days, and the tunneling machine has already grown into such an outstanding young lady! Hehe." Grace was not at all concerned about the tunneling machine's warning. Instead, she was happy and proud of it. She even closed her eyes, holding the Bangboo-form Wise in her arms, faintly showing signs of going 'crazy'.
"Um, Grace, can I trouble you to calm down a bit? Over here, I'm feeling a little..." Wise, feeling a tightness in his chest, also reminded her. The others at the side were also a bit confused.
"This Mashiro-kun the tunneling machine is talking about, who is that? White... ah, could it be this unfinished building she's on?"
"What did you say?! I won't allow you to slander Mashiro-kun!" Ben had just finished speaking when the tunneling machine on the other side, hearing his words, immediately jumped down from the building excitedly. With a huge sound, it landed in front of everyone. "Hmph, I've already decided to spend the rest of my life with Mashiro-kun! So... take back your unreasonable words!"
As it spoke, the tunneling machine also transformed into a girl in love (at least that's how Grace described it), brandishing its Aether-hybrid electric demolition saw, which weighed up to 1400 kilograms. Then, because it wanted to drive away the Ethereal that had been attracted by the loud noise and were on 'Mashiro-kun', the tunneling machine accidentally demolished Mashiro-kun along with them. Although this should be considered her main job, she herself still felt very sad.
Fortunately, on their side, they had Grace, who was particularly able to understand and communicate with the tunneling machine. After a round of congratulations and promising to rebuild 'Mashiro-kun' on a new piece of land, and some other unhinged statements, the tunneling machine also agreed to go back with them. Although it was very unhinged, at least the result was good.
And with that, they had already completed 2/3 of the commission. As for the last pile driver, there was still no news of it yet. So, Belobog Heavy Industries also decided to first send the two recovered machines for maintenance, and then notify Wise and his team after they had news of the last machine.
"Phew, that was exhausting."
Wise, after his consciousness returned, also collapsed onto a chair, feeling tired.
"Oh? Is that so? But from what I saw, it looked like you were enjoying yourself very much, brother. Hmph..." Belle came forward with some dissatisfaction and massaged Wise's shoulders. Although she wasn't controlling a Bangboo, she could also see the visual feed that Wise saw, so she naturally knew about the treatment Wise had received along the way.
"Ha, that was just for the sake of moving more conveniently. Although it was indeed..."
"Hm?!"
"Ahem, just pretend I didn't say anything. Belle, what do you want to eat tonight?" Wise, knowing he was in the wrong, also wanted to temporarily skip this topic, but Belle clearly didn't want to let him off so easily. So after hearing Wise's words, she also curled her lips slightly. "Hmph, speaking of which, of course I want to eat my favorite food, brother..."
Belle gave a smug smile and looked down at Wise who was sitting in the chair. The latter, seeing this, also understood.
An hour later, Wise, who had finally prepared dinner, was also sitting at the dining table with Belle, eating. "Mmm, it's so delicious! It's a million times more delicious than what they make in restaurants outside! I'm so happy to have you, brother!"
As she spoke, Belle also took large bites of food. The delicious food, perfect in color, aroma, and taste, was shoveled into her mouth, covering up the taste of what she had just eaten.
"Mmm, as long as you like it."
"Then can my brother cook for me for a lifetime?"
"A lifetime? That's a bit too heavy."
"Mmph, is that not okay?"
"How could it be? Since it's you, Belle, then of course it's no problem."
After a happy dinner, the two of them also watched TV for a while as usual, and then went upstairs to take a shower and go to bed. However, the next morning, Wise, who had just woken up, received a message. The other party was Lei, with whom he had cooperated at the outpost before. The message this time was also because there was a new mission.
And for the sake of his identity as an independent investigator, Wise had no choice but to accept this commission. So after preparing the breakfast Belle wanted to eat, Wise packed his own portion and went to the outpost.
...
"Wuuu, I'm hungry... Sister Liu said there's a cafeteria nearby, do you know where it is? Oh, right, she also told me to come find an uncle named Roland." Cangjiao clutched her growling stomach. Even though it had already started to protest, she had not forgotten her main mission this time. "The person you're looking for should be Officer Roland. He's just ahead. But if you're looking for a place to eat, you have to turn right... By the way, which one are you looking for first?"
The guard Cangjiao asked also patiently pointed the way for her. The former, hearing this, also thought about it seriously. "Mmm, then I guess filling my stomach first is more important."
(Uh, shouldn't you be taking care of business first?) The guard complained in his heart. But just at this moment, Cangjiao seemed to have suddenly discovered something. She twitched her nose and began to sniff left and right. Then, as if she had found her target, her eyes lit up, and she ran straight towards Wise, who had just arrived here.
"Wow! You have a very, very fragrant smell on you! Can I have a taste?" Although Cangjiao asked politely, her action of getting close was not polite at all, as if she were about to bite Wise in the next second. "Uh, you're... Cangjiao? Wait a minute, please calm down first!"
Seeing her like this, Wise helplessly contributed his own breakfast. And Cangjiao, seeing this, also happily said thank you, and then began to eat eagerly. "Mmm! It's really delicious! Did you make this, big brother Wise? It's simply too delicious! This is the first time I've eaten something so delicious!"

"Excuse me, did something happen here?" Lei, who had commissioned Wise to come here, also walked over after hearing the noise, and happened to see Cangjiao who was eating with large mouthfuls. And seeing the uncle standing beside her, Cangjiao also finished the food in her hand in a few bites, quickly chewed and swallowed it, and then looked at the other party very formally. "Anti-Hollow Division 6, Cangjiao, reporting for duty! You must be Uncle Roland, right? Sorry, because I couldn't find the cafeteria and was too hungry. Fortunately, Wise happened to be passing by and gave me some delicious food!"
