"I don't need to be called cute, nor am I'Sister Kaltsit'—how is it, Rosmontis still only remembers you?"
Holding Rosmontis in her arms, Kaltsit glared at Goki. She sat on the edge of the bed, ignoring Skadi, who was glaring back at her.
"Yes, she can only remember me, but at least her common sense and knowledge are not forgotten—cute is cute. No matter how ambitious you are or how much you care for the world, it doesn't change the fact that you're a beautiful Feline."
Meanwhile, Goki simply picked up a small beaker at the experimental bench, lit a gentle flame in his hand, and began to brew a blend of coffees from various countries—Sargon had no shortage of plantations.
"If you don't want to be called'Sister,' next time Rosmontis wakes up, I can tell her you're her best mom? See, same hair color, similar eye color, same race—what a perfect mother-daughter pair, right?"
Hearing this, although she was only eight years old, Rosmontis's little face still flushed, and her cat ears couldn't help but twitch.
Kaltsit, on the other hand, had long adapted to Goki's way of interacting and chose to ignore such remarks—what could she do? Beat him up?
"That won't be necessary. Rosmontis and I will wait at the messenger station here. Saria and Kafka will arrive in a few days and travel with us to Kazdel to begin related research."
Kaltsit's ears unconsciously tilted in the same direction as Rosmontis's in her arms, and her gaze was fixed on the coffee Goki was brewing.
"As for the Oripathy artificial organ in Rosmontis, I will find a way to remove it. If it causes her harm, then I will try to help her coexist with it—as for why she can remember you, if you are unwilling to provide a reasonable explanation, then I will find the reason myself."
Looking at the man in the black trench coat, Kaltsit said seriously.
Kaltsit admitted that Goki was an excellent hunter, and their daily interactions were exceptionally pleasant.
But at the same time, Kaltsit still maintained a minimum level of vigilance.
Goki seemed to hide little from her, but the more Kaltsit learned about him, the more confused she became.
He was so mysterious, so transcendent, always able to pull out one new method after another, and it seemed that a series of things he encountered could always have some subtle connection to him.
Especially before, at Rhine Lab, he skillfully resolved an impending divine disaster.
This was completely different in nature from the small incident on the Aegir coast. If a disaster had truly erupted, the entire city would have been severely damaged.
Goki had indeed hunted a kin of a god, but for this Old Hunter, it seemed to be a commonplace occurrence.
However, in Kaltsit's view, this was already a remarkable achievement. In her long life, she had only encountered such crises a few times.
And... most of the time, the results were not satisfactory.
Previously, Kaltsit had dismissed Goki's goal of "hunting gods," but now it seemed... he might genuinely intend to do so.
Similarly, why did Ifrit's body emit similar power fluctuations to his? Why could both of them manipulate the power of the God of Burning Wind? One mystery after another left Kaltsit completely bewildered.
However, although these questions were extremely perplexing, they also sparked a rare glimmer of interest in the somewhat numb Kaltsit—she somewhat wanted to delve deeper into understanding this man.
Kaltsit decided to confide this confusion to her old friend after they reached Kazdel—she believed that her understanding friend would definitely be interested in this Goki fellow.
"Please do. Ifrit possesses power of the same origin as mine. You and Silence can also try to find the essence of the power within me by treating Ifrit. Of course, you need to be extra careful. Great Ones are never kind; in a sense, they are even beyond their own control—their power needs to be watched."
Goki shrugged, gently twisting the latte art machine he bought over the finished coffee to create a heart pierced by an arrow, and presented it to Kaltsit.
