Takatsuki, of course, was unaware of the small interlude that occurred beside him during the meal.
Seele's internal dialogue with herself in the Stigmata Space was something even an omniscient and omnipotent god could not interfere with.
After the two finished eating, Takatsuki took Seele to Natasha's clinic.
"Mr. Takatsuki and Little Seele are here."
Every time they came, Doctor Natasha seemed very busy.
"Good morning, Doctor Natasha."
"Good morning, Sister Natasha."
Natasha smiled at them: "Hello to you two. Big Seele just went to find someone for me; she should be back soon."
"Has Big Seele already been here?"
In fact, Takatsuki had guessed it from Natasha's address when they entered.
"Yes, she even told me she met new friends yesterday, and about you two treating her to a meal and giving her a nickname. I haven't seen that child so happy in a long time."
Natasha covered her mouth and chuckled: "You two sit and wait for a bit; she should be back very soon."
"Sister Natasha, do you need any help from us?"
"No, Little Seele. It's not as busy as yesterday. I'm just checking on the patients. You two just rest."
Since Natasha had said so, Takatsuki and Seele naturally couldn't say anything else.
After waiting for a while in the clinic, Big Seele returned.
As soon as Big Seele entered, she boisterously exclaimed, "Nata! I'm back! I've found all those patients."
"Welcome back, Big Seele. What did they say?"
"Big Seele?"
Even if she was a bit slow, hearing Natasha suddenly change her address, Big Seele realized something. She looked around and saw the two people sitting by the wall, waving at her.
Just as she was about to go say hello, Natasha stopped her.
"Seele, finish my matters first, then go find your friends."
"Oh, oh, right. You two wait a moment."
Big Seele then remembered she still had a task. She turned to greet the two of them, then began to report to Natasha on the task Natasha had given her.
Takatsuki listened to their conversation from the side and understood roughly what had happened.
It seemed some of Natasha's patients hadn't come to the clinic for a long time, and Natasha was a bit worried, so she asked Seele to inquire.
The patients who didn't come mainly fell into three categories: those who had no money for treatment, those who felt that treatment was useless even if they sought it, and those who, for unknown reasons, felt they didn't need treatment anymore.
"Seele, did you tell them that I can provide medicine for free in advance?"
"I did, but they just felt they couldn't pay it back."
Natasha shook her head: "In that case, there's nothing to be done. I clearly told them they didn't need to rush to pay it back."
"But those who feel they don't need to come to the clinic, why is that?"
Big Seele shrugged: "I don't know about that. Do you need me to interrogate them?"
"Sigh, no need. I'll find someone else to help me ask about this."
Natasha shook her head at Big Seele's violent idea and said to Seele: "You go find your friends."
"Okay!"
After receiving Natasha's approval, Big Seele ran over to Takatsuki and Little Seele.
"You're here! Sorry, I was just running errands for Natasha."
"It's fine, Doctor Natasha told us. But more importantly, did you manage to inquire about what we discussed yesterday?"
Takatsuki waved his hand indifferently. More than that, he was concerned about clues regarding the Stellaron and Astral Express. This was the first time he had experienced a dungeon with no leads.
However, it was actually normal. If he hadn't watched the anime of the previous worlds, he probably would have been in such a predicament.
His previous foresight had made him a bit overconfident, and encountering such an unknown situation left him unsure how to proceed. This experience was also a good training.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Oleg said he hasn't heard of the Stellaron or the Astral Express either."
Big Seele scratched her head, a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, it's not your fault. Perhaps our direction is wrong."
Takatsuki shook his head: "Both the Stellaron and the Astral Express are related to the stars. Perhaps they are not in this Underworld, but rather in…"
Takatsuki pointed upwards.
"A train that connects to the stars in the sky. If we're talking about definitions, perhaps they don't exist on the ground, but rather in the universe beyond the planet."
"Universe? What's that?"
Big Seele asked after hearing Takatsuki's words.
"Uh…"
Takatsuki hadn't expected Big Seele not to even know what the universe was, but he quickly realized. She had always lived in the Underworld and hadn't received a formal education, so it was normal.
"It refers to the place outside of the planet we are on."
"What's a planet?"
Even Little Seele smiled awkwardly on the side.
"Why is she so stupid? She doesn't know this, she doesn't know that? And she even has the same face and name as us, what an idiot."
Little Seele did not respond to Veliona's grumbling.
"A planet is…"
"A planet is where we are right now. Hello everyone."
Takatsuki was just about to explain when a somewhat playful male voice suddenly interjected.
Everyone turned to look at the blue-haired, green-eyed man who had appeared at some unknown time. Takatsuki originally thought he was just an ordinary patient, but it seemed...
Not quite?
"Sampo, you scoundrel, why are you here?"
Big Seele said unhappily as soon as she saw him.
"Oh, Miss Seele, didn't I come to deliver medicine for Natasha? I, Sampo, am a very trustworthy merchant."
Sampo wasn't angry at all about big Seele's unwelcoming tone; instead, he smiled.
"I just heard you all talking about something interesting?"
"Something interesting?"
Big Seele looked at Sampo and then at Takatsuki before remembering: "Takatsuki, this guy is called Sampo. In the Underworld, he's someone no one likes, but he always manages to get things others can't."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't say that. The Wildfire is my good client. We've been cooperating for so long."
Sampo rubbed his hands, then said to Takatsuki and Little Seele: "Who are these two?"
When he clearly saw Little Seele's appearance, he gasped, then looked at the two Seeles amidst big Seele's 'What are you looking at?' tone.
"Miss Seele, is this... your younger sister?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask! Why do you care so much!"
