Chapter 147: You should’ve programed a burrito.
"Couldn’t thins wait until another time?" With pursed lips, Ramsay looked at the screen of his phone. "You still have to meet with Dr. Goodman before we depart."
"I will be done soon, don’t worry."
The living room of the VIP suite became somewhat cramped with an entire computer set up on the floor. There was only one outlet so an extension cord was connected to it. RGB lights glowed through the transparent case of the central processing unit, which gave a glimpse at the many components that went into the custom build. Two screens cast their light on the youth’s face, one displaying a lines of code while the other showed what appears to be a paused game screen.
Ramsay scratched the back of his head and turned to the other weirdo in the room. Kobayashi Kanna was transfixed, her pen continuously moving on the screen of her Ipad. Every now and then she would look up and observe the maid sitting in front of her before going back to scribbling.
"Are you sure about this?" Ramsay said. "We might still be able to catch up with the last refugee caravan."
It took a few seconds for him to receive a reply. The illustrator would turn slow whenever she’s focused on her drawings.
"Hm? I already said I’m coming along, didn’t I?"
"Yeah you did..."
The plan was to send her to the Overworld while they took care of their business in Amberwood but she insisted on coming along. The thought of bringing someone who is even more frail and untrained than a civilian on what might very well turn out to be a dangerous mission didn’t sit well with the Sergeant. Unfortunately for him, he got ordered to play along with whatever the Level 5 and his friend decide.
"And done."
Before he could voice more protests, Ramsay heard the announcement followed by a slightly louder click. Swallowing his complaints, he turned to Mark and saw him clap his hands in prayer.
