Being able to make the church aware of what Nolan has underground is already a huge gain for Jenkins. Since last year, the activities of the [Gear Craftsman Association] have been worrying Jenkins. Seeing that the last moment is not far away, he will do everything possible to prevent the recovery of the oldest difference engine.
It's difficult, but he has to try.
Jenkins has many acquaintances in Beldyland, but for various reasons, his injury cannot be publicized. Apart from colleagues from the Church of the Sages, only Hathaway and Britney came to visit this morning.
Last night, the three of them made an appointment to go to the concert together, but Jenkins completely missed the time because of Kamel's incident. The two girls only heard about it from their father later, so they waited patiently until dawn. Just came in a hurry.
When they opened the door of the ward with the fruit basket under the guidance of the nun, they happened to see Miss Capet sitting on the chair by the bed talking to Jenkins. Jenkins didn't want to recall the embarrassing atmosphere at the scene at all. He only knew that he had done nothing wrong, but he was so guilty that he even forgot to introduce each other.
Both Hathaway and Britney came to visit Jenkins today after dressing up carefully. Although both of them were surprised to see a strange woman in his ward, they concealed their emotions very well. Only then did Jenkins react and introduce their identities to the two parties. Miss Capet probably saw that the relationship between the two ladies and Jenkins was very unusual, so she quickly found an excuse to leave the ward and gave up the space to Jenkins and his friends them.
"I heard from my father that when you were cooking at home, you ate something wrong and caused food poisoning. Are you feeling better now?"
Food poisoning is a good reason, since it's hard to detect with a visitor, and Jenkins had no trauma at all.
Britney asked while peeling an apple for Jenkins, and Hathaway bent down to sort out the gifts brought by the two by the cabinet. When Britney was around, she rarely seemed very close to Jenkins, giving the chance to the blonde.
"It's much better now. I thought I could eat anything chocolate can eat, but now it seems I was wrong. I'm much better now, don't worry."
He said with a guilty conscience, and at the same time touched the feigned cat lying next to the pillow. Chocolate meowed impatiently, and twitched his wrist with his tail.
"Why are you so careless? You don't have to cook your own food during this time, it's better to eat at church. Speaking of Jenkins, you are also an adult in your twenties, and you have your own successful business, why don't you What about hiring someone to cook for you? You obviously lack a woman who can cook in your family."
The blonde girl said with something in her words, since that night, this was the first meeting between the two, but the relationship has already made a qualitative leap. Because Britney was sitting on the edge of the bed with her back to Hathaway, her hand was actually holding Jenkins' hand, and Hathaway just couldn't see this scene.
"I won't stay in Beldyland for a long time, and I will probably return to Nolan with you, so there is no need to hire others. As for this period of time, my father said that my own life will always be in trouble, so I suggest that I don't do it in a short time. Leaving the Holy See... ”
In fact, the church believed that Kamel would find an opportunity to retaliate against Jenkins at any time, so he suggested that Jenkins not go away easily before this matter is over.
"Why didn't you see Dad? We all thought he would come to take care of you, but we didn't expect Miss Capet to be here."
Hathaway finished tidying up the cabinet, and pulled a chair to sit beside the bed. Jenkins understood the hidden meaning in her words, so he emphasized again that his father was busy with things, and Miss Capet, a reserve nun of the [Church of Everything and Nature], happened to have time as a friend.
"We are just friends, please don't think too much."
He even said it bluntly. Hathaway thought it was explained to her, and Britney also thought it was explained to her, so he felt relieved.
"Are all nuns so beautiful now? I noticed that Miss Capet's hair color is very attractive, which is very similar to your hair color."
Britney joked that Jenkins was taken aback, worried that Britney would see something. Hathaway also joked at this time:
"When I saw the lady's back just now, I also felt a little familiar. After Brienne said that, I remembered that she was very similar to you."
Because there was not enough information, even if they were aware of this, the two did not guess the deep meaning behind it. Jenkins smiled and tried to muddle through the subject, but all he wanted was to hope that the succession issue would be over soon. He had had enough of it. Jenkins just wanted to live in peace.
While Britney went to the bathroom, Hathaway finally seized the opportunity to be alone with Jenkins. After confirming that Britney disappeared behind the door, she opened her arms and hugged Jenkins. Jenkins vaguely heard her sobbing.
Britney didn't know everything about Jenkins, but Hathaway knew how powerful Jenkins was, and what kind of power the identity of the Son of God gave him. In this case, Jenkins was admitted to the church because of his injury, which is enough to show how bad things happened to him.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
He hugged the red-haired girl and comforted him softly, Hathaway shook her head lightly and let go of Jenkins, not letting Jenkins see her wiping her tears.
"I know you're fine. Dad told us you were fine when you were injured, so I knew you probably wouldn't be seriously injured. So, what happened to you?"
To explain what happened yesterday from the beginning would have to start with Dad letting Jenkins go out with him, but Britney will probably be back soon after going to the bathroom. So in order to speak briefly, and to prevent Hathaway from worrying too much, Jenkins just vaguely said that he had encountered a demigod who was hostile to the church, and lied that the demigod had already been dealt with.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true, it's absolutely true that there can be no false..."
He said that although he was worried that Kamal would trouble Hathaway and Britney, he didn't let Hathaway and Britney pay attention to safety, because Kamal would die today.
In order to cover up his big lie, he missed Hathaway's eyes and looked down at his cat. It happened that Chocolate was also secretly looking at Jenkins, and suddenly stared at him to startle the cat. In order to prevent Jenkins from noticing that he was peeking at him, Chocolate It flicked its tail and lay down, hiding its face under its paws.
