Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

"Roy..."

"Roy..."

Roy, who was sleeping, vaguely heard someone outside the door calling his name. He wanted to stay in bed, so he pulled the quilt over his head and wrapped himself tightly.

"Roy... hurry up... we should go..."

Shining and Nightingale noticed that there was no response in the room for a long time, and they knew that Roy was staying in bed again.

Shining took out Roy's ID card, which Roy had given to Shining before he went on a mission. During his absence, Shining had helped to tidy up the dormitory.

The identity card was swiped across, and the cabin door slid open automatically. Nightingale saw Roy curled up on the bed.

Walking quickly to the bed, Nightingale reached out and pulled back the quilt covering her head.

"Roy, get up quickly, it's getting late." Nightingale pushed Roy's shoulders hard.

Feeling his body shaking, Roy tried to open his eyes, but his blond hair almost blocked his entire vision.

In the center of the field of vision was Nightingale's delicate face. She seemed to have put on light makeup today, and her usually pale cheeks were faintly flushed.

But she seemed a little angry now, and puffed up her lips again. Seeing Roy open his eyes, Nightingale moved closer, trying to use her weak sense of oppression to force Roy to get up quickly.

So close! Roy could even feel Nightingale's breath on his face, making him feel a little itchy. He couldn't help but reach out, hold Nightingale's shoulders, and push her away.

"Okay, Nightingale. I got it. I'll wash up quickly. You guys wait here for a while."

Roy kicked the quilt to the end of the bed, quickly got up, and rushed into the bathroom with a hunched back.

Damn it! How can they test old cadres so early in the morning?

Only Nightingale with a confused look on her face was left, and Shining, who understood everything, was left. As Shining had slept with Roy before, she knew that this was an inevitable physiological reaction of a normal man.

Nightingale found that it was so easy for him to wake up Roy, and he smiled at Shining with a smug look on his face, as if he was showing off how powerful he was.

It seems that I need to find an opportunity to give Nightingale some scientific education, as she is not young anymore.

Roy moved quickly, washing himself with cold water to put out the restless fire in his heart.

"Okay, we can go now."

"You're going out like this?"

Shining covered his forehead and looked at Roy in uniform helplessly. Who would go out in work clothes?

"Then I don't have any other clothes, should I wear this?"

As Roy spoke, he took out a black robe from the space, which was taken from those pardoners before.

"Forget it, you should just wear this one."

Shining secretly made a decision in his heart that he would help Roy choose some clothes later.

......

"I'm sorry, Mr. Roy. All the vehicles on the ship have been assigned tasks now. Because Rhodes Island was severely damaged, the operators from the engineering department drove out to purchase materials to repair the hull." An operator in the docking area said to Roy with an apologetic look on his face.

Roy was also a little surprised. When he returned to the island last night, the parking area was still full. He didn't expect that when he woke up, all the boats were gone.

The staff in the engineering department are really hardworking!

Roy looked around and found that there was not even a motorcycle.

This was a bit troublesome. Given the condition of Nightingale's lower limbs, she probably wouldn't have the energy to go shopping after walking to the mobile city.

Roy scratched his head, thinking about whether there was any solution. As he looked around, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a feathered beast flying outside the window. It was flapping its wings vigorously, and it seemed to be holding something in its mouth.

Yes, if even cities can fly, what’s wrong with people flying too?

Roy slapped his head and a new idea came to his mind.

"Nightingale, do you want to try the feeling of flying?"

"Is it really possible? Will it be dangerous?" Although Nightingale was very interested in flying, she had never had any experience in this area.

She had only tried to release a feathered beast herself and watched it fly into the sky. Now that she knew she might have to fly, she was looking forward to it but also a little hesitant.

Roy saw Nightingale's worry and patted his chest to assure her, "Don't worry, I brought the mobile city here. It's easy to bring two people."

Nightingale's eyes sparkled slightly, and she looked at Roy with admiration.

Shining also came closer. Although she still maintained a calm expression, Roy could see from her eyes that she was also interested in flying.

"Okay, let's go now."

In order to ensure the comfort and safety of the flight, Roy built a platform with rocks and surrounded it with guardrails. He also made three chairs, and after Shining and Nightingale sat down, Roy also sat in his own captain's seat.

"Roy, forward four!"

The rock platform slowly rose into the air, gradually accelerating towards the moving city. Considering Nightingale's purpose of experiencing flying, Roy finally kept the speed at a slower speed.

The breeze brushing across my face was very comfortable, and the scenery of the earth was in full view from the flying platform. The mountains in the distance, the bushes on the wasteland, and even the two moons hanging in the sky that had not yet set, were all so close.

Shining and Nightingale's seats were close together, and Roy's seat was in front of them.

Nightingale seemed very excited. He held Shining's hand and talked and laughed with her. From time to time, he pointed to some very strange scenes and shared them with Shining.

Shining also smiled and explained to Nightingale from time to time how those strange rock landforms were formed.

A hint of blue appeared in the sky at some point, and when he looked closely, it seemed to be a group of feathered beasts approaching Roy.

Roy knew that some dangerous Originium creatures might appear in the sky of Terra, but he didn't expect to encounter them so soon.

Just as he was about to free his hand to attack and knock it down, a slightly cold hand grasped his wrist.

"Roy, don't attack them. I know they mean no harm."

Nightingale shook her head at Roy and spoke seriously, as if she really understood Yu Beast's thoughts.

"Okay. But let's make a deal. If they show any signs of attacking, I will attack them directly."

Roy put down his hand that was casting the spell, but his eyes were still fixed on the group of feathered beasts.

As the flying platform got closer and closer to the group of feathered beasts, Roy could see their situation clearly.

They don't seem to be very aggressive. They are only the size of sparrows, but they look bigger when they gather together.

However, this was the most beautiful feathered beast Roy had ever seen, with feathers all over its body in sky blue. If it weren't for the white clouds as a contrast, Roy wouldn't have noticed their existence.

Such pure blue, as if they were born to fly in the sky.

Roy thought they just passed by him, but he didn't expect them to land on the platform. Some landed on the guardrail, and some landed on the side of Shining and Nightingale's chairs.

The spells in Roy's hand were ready to go. Once they showed signs of aggression, he was confident that he could destroy them all in an instant.

The nightingale seemed to be very close to these feathered beasts that landed on the platform. It imitated their calls and reached out to touch them.

A bold feathered beast flapped its wings and landed in the Nightingale's hands.

It tilted its head and looked at the nightingale. The nightingale gently stroked its wings with its other hand, but it did not run away.

Shining looked at the feathered beast in Nightingale's hand with a complicated expression, which reminded her of what she had done to Nightingale when she was the Pardoner.

How can I expect Nightingale to forgive me for things that I cannot even forgive myself for?

Shining never dared to tell Nightingale that she was the one who deleted her memory. She was afraid that Nightingale would not forgive her, and even more afraid that Nightingale would leave her.

After stroking the brave feathered beast for a few times, Nightingale picked it up with both hands and threw it gently. The feathered beast fluttered its wings and disappeared into the blue sky.

"Fly..."

Shining, who was closest to the nightingale, heard the nightingale's murmur, and his hands clenched a little. He turned his head away and dared not look at the nightingale.

Roy watched the feathered beasts fly away, then turned around and continued to concentrate on flying. Only then did he realize that Kazdel City was very close.

"Shining, Nightingale, we're here."
