Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Koleda: If Wise Wants It, Then of Course I Have to Give It to Him...
"Phew... stupid dad, the current Belobog Heavy Industries hasn't let you down, has it?"
After doing all this, Koleda also collapsed into the chair. And Wise on the other side also re-entered the cockpit at this time.
"Koleda, how are you? Are you okay... eh?"
Just as he had opened his mouth to ask about her condition, the latter actually directly had him pick her up. Koleda didn't say much, just holding him and looking out through the cockpit's glass at the other three members of Belobog Heavy Industries outside. Some words only had meaning when said face-to-face.
And so, the commission for Belobog Heavy Industries was finally over. It was also worth noting that the three machines that had been swallowed by the monster had not disappeared. Their logic cores were still very much intact. Therefore, it wouldn't be long before Grace could get them back to work.
...
A few days later, in the video store.
Wise, who was originally attending to customers in the store and enjoying a quiet time, suddenly saw a red figure. "Hm? Koleda, long time no see. Have you been to the hospital? How was your physical checkup?"
"Don't worry, Wise. The results were all normal. You and my big sis insisted that I had been exposed to Aether corrosion, which led to me being taken to the hospital for a whole round of checks." Koleda smiled with her hands on her hips. Compared to before, her words seemed to have shed a lot of burden. She was no longer as heavy-hearted as before, but had become a truly lively and cheerful girl.
"It's normal for us to be worried. After all, you were driving the Prototype and fighting a monster at close range for so long at that time. Who knows if there would be any harm." As he spoke, Wise also led Koleda into the room on the first floor. The latter, seeing this, also looked around with some curiosity.
"That's true. Also, I came this time to thank you all properly. And especially to thank you, Wise."
"Hm? Me?"
"Yeah! Thank you for talking so much with me before, and thank you for your help, which allowed me to avenge my father. And also..." Speaking of which, Koleda seemed to have thought of the idea she had decided on before, and couldn't help but blush shyly. "Ahem, in... in short, thank you very much."
And seeing Koleda just say this one sentence after half a day, Wise also deliberately acted a little disappointed. "Sigh, just a special thank you in words?"
"Wh-what's wrong? Then how about the commission fee..."
"It's not about the commission fee."
"Then what is it?" Seeing Koleda looking completely clueless, Wise could only be a little more direct.
"It's just that after going through so much together, shouldn't we celebrate with a hug or something? After all, that's how it is in movies and novels."
"Eh?! Th-that's just in movies and novels, after all! And, didn't I also hug you at that time?" What Koleda was referring to was naturally when Wise was a Bangboo.
"Is that so. Alright. Actually, compared to that, I'd rather hug you in person. After all, Koleda is so cute..."
As Wise said this, Koleda on the other side was already blushing with shyness and at a loss for what to do. "C-c-c-cute or whatever, there's no such thing!"
Although Koleda said this, from her inner thoughts, Wise could see that she was still very happy.
"Alright, I was just kidding..."
"Oh..." As expected, besides my dad and my big sis, no normal person would call me cute. Koleda appeared a little dejected.
"But my last sentence was the truth, you know."
"Mmph! You don't have to say it specifically! I-I don't care at all!" Actually, I still care a lot. After all, her favorability had also increased by 1 point, reaching 92. It was precisely because of such a high favorability that Wise had dared to say that before. Otherwise, it would probably only have the opposite effect.
However, just as Wise was thinking this, Koleda on the other side made a move again. She swung her small legs, quickly took a few steps forward, and then forcefully hugged Wise's waist, pressing her cheek against his chest. Although he couldn't see her expression, from the warmth of her breath he could feel through his clothes, it could be seen that Koleda's heart was not calm at this moment.
At the same time, Belle on the other side, who had just opened the door and was preparing to come in, resolutely retreated after seeing this scene, pretending not to have seen anything, and planning to go in again two hours later.
And Wise on this side was also very surprised by Koleda's actions. But thinking about her favorability already being as high as 92, it seemed reasonable. Afterward, Wise also very naturally put his arms around her in return. Although she usually looked very tough, when he hugged her, she was still as fragrant and soft as a normal beautiful girl.
Taking this opportunity, Wise also reached out and stroked Koleda's fluffy hair. It seemed she had specially washed her hair before coming. Oh, right, I think I forgot something. What could it be...
As Wise was thinking about this question, he suddenly felt something bite a piece of his clothes. He looked down and saw it was Koleda, whom he was hugging. And his clothes were now being held by her canine teeth. At this moment, her eyes were hazy, and her state, it couldn't be said to be unrelated to Anby and the others before, it could only be said to be exactly the same.
"K-Koleda?"
"Huh? What's wrong, fa... ahem, Wise... huff..."
Alright, Koleda was already starting to talk nonsense now. Seeing this, Wise also wanted to distance himself from her first. Although he could already be considered a scumbag now, he still had his principles. In this kind of sudden situation, and when he wasn't sure if the other party was willing, Wise would definitely not act rashly. After all, if he really messed around, he really didn't dare to think about the consequences.
"Koleda, your state is a bit off right now. Do you want to drink a glass of water to calm down first?" At this moment, Koleda had not been in direct contact with him for long, so she still retained a certain degree of reason. Wise also wanted to take this opportunity to persuade her.
But Koleda clearly did not buy Wise's suggestion. Instead, like an angry little red panda, she pouted and took a few more steps closer to Wise. "What do you mean my state is not right? huff, I already said my state is very good! Mmm, and why did you suddenly step back, Wise? Is it because you dislike the smell of sweat on me? Don't worry, I took a shower when I came. You probably didn't smell any strange smell when we were hugging just now, right?"
Koleda came to Wise's side with a red face, and then reached out to grab his clothes to prevent him from running away at this time.
"To be honest, Wise, I'm really grateful to you. You helped me and Belobog Heavy Industries get through a difficult time, and you also helped me and my big sis reconcile our relationship, and you even made me continue to believe in my dad before."
