Catherine wore an apron around her waist, skillfully holding two plates with one hand.
She briefly asked Ronald a question.
Then Catherine sat opposite Ronald, placing the two plates in front of them.
The food she prepared for both was the same.
Both had a serving of fried eggs and a dish of pasta with red sauce.
Ronald quickly estimated that the portion in front of Catherine was even less than his own.
"Thank you."
He nodded to the red-haired girl across from him, carefully set his manuscript aside, then responded,
"I am indeed quite interested in the content above."
"Especially the views on productivity."
Hearing Ronald's response, Catherine's expression subtly changed as she raised her eyebrows.
She took a bite of her fried egg before speaking earnestly,
"It's no wonder, at this time, someone could find their way to Barrier Mountain."
"You instantly figured out the core issue of my research."
Ronald nodded.
