Amethyst was being entangled by Einstein on this side, while Siegfried and Cecilia on the other side were enjoying their sweet time.

"Isn't it delicious? The specialty of this town is delicious sausages. The curry sausage made with high-quality sausages is delicious that you can't experience anywhere else~"

Siegfried supported the table with one hand and proudly introduced the food to Cecilia with a proud smile on his face. It was obvious that he was very confident in the special food of this small town.

"Siegfried, thank you."

Cecilia put down her fork, and a happy and satisfied smile appeared on the corners of her mouth with food residue stuck on it. "I've never tasted anything like this before... Thank you for treating me to such delicious food, and thank you for taking me to various stores today... Especially the game arcade, it was so fun."

"Today... is the happiest day of my life. I will cherish this memory." Cecilia looked up at the sky, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in her eyes.

"..."

This sentence made Siegfried, who was also immersed in the happy atmosphere, suddenly silent. He came to his senses, and when he thought that after Cecilia returned to her destiny, she would still live a life like a bird in a cage, he felt an indescribable heaviness in his heart.

He reached out and wiped the food residue from the corner of Cecilia's mouth, and said with a casual smile: "If you like, I will take you out to play again in the future."

"No... I can't..." Cecilia was obviously not so optimistic. After all, she was the Valkyrie directly under that lord, and she also had other values. It was impossible for her to enjoy a free life like a normal person.

"Hey, I know that headquarters is very strict, but you have to relax once in a while."

Siegfried held the back of his head with both hands, leaned back slightly, and tried to ease Cecilia's worries with a relaxed tone, "My family was very strict when I was a child, so I ran away from home several times. I'm not bragging, but I have a lot of experience in how to escape from home."

"So, maybe I can help you sneak out of the headquarters in the future." Then, Siegfried told Cecilia about the various wonderful sights and experiences he had seen in this world after running away from home. His voice was full of yearning for freedom and love for life. Each story was like a shining gem, connecting his colorful life.

"I will take you to various interesting places to play when the time comes... I lost to you in the game hall before because of my poor physical condition..."

Siegfried extended his hand to Cecilia, as if inviting her to dance with him. "Let's fight it out again when the game comes out next month!"

"..."

“Puff—cough cough!”

The atmosphere between the two was tense, but the tightly wrapped guy next to them suddenly made a noise.

The two turned their heads to look, but the suspicious person was not looking at them at all, and was still talking to the blue-haired lady next to him.

In fact, Zijing didn't mean to disturb the two people. It was just because Einstein was too persistent and even said some shocking words to satisfy his curiosity, which made him unable to hold back.

"Are you really unwilling to cooperate...?"

Seeing that the other party would not agree to any of his conditions, Einstein hesitated for a moment and said, "In that case, you should come with us."

"...?"

"It's the same whether we tie up one or two, so why don't we take both you and Cecilia away together?" Einstein said this seriously. She didn't mind making some changes to the original plan for Amethyst.

"I advise you not to make trouble. After all, I am not a pushover. If you lose both your wife and your army, don't blame me for not warning you."

Amethyst clenched her fist as if in protest to Einstein, making a crackling sound.

"You can't defeat my partner with pure physical strength, so if we fight, you will probably expose your abilities. Why don't you cooperate with me while there is still peace?" Einstein remained calm. Even at such a close distance, if Amethyst was forced into a corner, even Walter wouldn't be able to help him.

"Ain, what's wrong?"

Walter’s concerned voice came from the headset, and he seemed to have noticed that the atmosphere between the two was not right.

"It's nothing, just a little quarrel, don't worry about it." Einstein said he was fine.

"…The target is leaving soon, we have to follow."

At the table next to them, Siegfried and Cecilia had already stood up.

Einstein took a look, then looked at Zijing, only to find that the small ball that he had been holding in his hand had disappeared. The boy smiled at her provocatively.

Now the only sample that can be studied is gone.

Einstein remained silent until Cecilia and Siegfried walked out of the restaurant. Then she took out a small piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Amethyst.

"This is……?"

Amethyst glanced at the big word "free" written on it and raised an eyebrow.

"I'm giving you the free cafeteria ticket for Anti-Entropy in advance. If you change your mind in the future, you can bring it to me." Einstein's tone was very serious. She really wanted to take Amethyst back with her. Perhaps out of some kind of scientist's intuition, she felt that the boy in front of her must have enough research value.

However, her intuition also told her that it would not be easy to bring the purple crystal back, and there would be a risk of failure even with Walter's support.

After making some decisions, Einstein chose to retreat temporarily.

Seeing that the other party was not going to leave unless she accepted it, Zijing reluctantly took the useless little piece of paper as a peace agreement between the two.

"Remember to come to Anti-Entropy. I will prepare the most comfortable experimental bed for you." Einstein looked back every few steps, like a treasure hunter who was reluctant to give up his jewels.

"If possible, please prepare a normal bed for me..."

Zijing waved goodbye to her. Of course, he had no plans to visit Anti-Entropy for the time being. After all, he was still a man of destiny on the surface... Oh, no, he was originally a man of destiny, but he just had another part-time job.

"Who is he?"

Einstein caught up with Walter, who asked as he kept an eye on the two people in front of him.

"A friend, a very good friend," said Einstein.

"If I'm not mistaken, what you just gave him was... a free cafeteria voucher for fifty years of Anti-Entropy?" Walter asked uncertainly.

"Ah."

"It seems like they are really good friends..."
