"I'm technician number five, remember to give me a five-star review."
"Bah! Utterly shameless."
When Helen Cho woke up, she found her head hurting immensely, as if someone had punched her in the brain. At that moment, she saw Artoria's face up close, but felt a strange sense of relief—thankfully, she hadn't been picked up by some weirdo. But as her mind caught up, Helen Cho realized something was wrong; she didn't seem to be wearing anything.
But at that moment, Artoria also opened her eyes and said something nonsensical to Helen Cho with a smile.
After a pause of five or six seconds, Helen Cho finally remembered what happened yesterday. But she felt that her drunkenness was inseparable from Artoria and that mysterious woman. If that woman hadn't insisted on a drinking contest, she wouldn't have agreed given her personality. But with Artoria's egging on, her stubbornness flared up, and she decided to drink, not being afraid of anyone.
"Who told you to be happy? It's just a drink! And I don't know who was so proactive yesterday."
Ignoring Helen Cho's embarrassment, Artoria directly exposed how someone had gone wild after drinking. She even had Saturday record it; she would definitely have a good laugh at this woman later. But she hadn't expected that while playing around, she would actually stoke Artoria's 'fire'. That night was truly a wonderful night.
"With the regeneration cradle finally complete, I couldn't help but let loose a little. I didn't expect you to be for real."
Coiling up her shoulder-length hair, Helen Cho picked up her blue panties, which had somehow ended up in the water tank yesterday. For a moment, she was hesitant about whether to put them on. She still felt a bit dizzy even now. She wouldn't have drunk too much yesterday, but unexpectedly, Artoria brought out Russian liquor, 'Vodka'. She had somehow had a glass, lost consciousness, and the whole world started spinning and jumping. Artoria looked even more beautiful than usual, and then, she seemed to lose consciousness.
"I couldn't help it either. Who told you to be so'sultry' last night... ahem! So beautiful, how could I resist?"
Pulling Helen Cho into her arms with one hand, Artoria, like a feline, pinned Helen Cho beneath her. With her right hand on the mattress behind Helen Cho's left, Artoria gently stroked Helen Cho's right cheek with her left hand, speaking with a serious expression. The female doctor before her might not be the most beautiful in Marvel, but spending time together day and night, Artoria found that Helen Cho was indeed suitable to become a girlfriend—the kind that would never break up.
"You... you hooligan."
Her entire face turned rosy from embarrassment. Her usual refined appearance looked even cuter in Artoria's transparent eyes. No wonder people say women from South Korea are the best at acting cute and have a whole set of ways to seduce people.
"Alright, I'll stop teasing you."
Artoria affectionately kissed Helen Cho's forehead. On her snow-white back, the red Kaslana Family emblem was continuously emitting faint golden light. After waiting to get dressed, Artoria went to her training area. Using meditation, she instantly calmed down.
"So that was the reason for the loss of control last night."
The 'Touka' pony had already grown to the size of a human head. It affectionately rubbed against Artoria, and from the single horn on its forehead, a pure white light emanated. Artoria's blood calmed down. Recently, the Dragon Factor had become more and more active, especially when she came into contact with girls; her blood felt like it was boiling, and her heart would start beating faster. This situation made Artoria a little afraid of whether she would turn into a dragon. Fortunately, she hadn't grown any dragon horns or scales yet; otherwise, Artoria wouldn't even be able to cry.
"I need to find a way."
Stroking little Touka's wings, Artoria felt a bit worried. With Thanos slowly approaching and constant problems on her side, it was troublesome, truly too troublesome.
"What did we do yesterday?"
While Artoria was troubled, Hope was also troubled. She looked at the pile of messy documents at her feet, having no idea what happened yesterday. You should know, this was her first time drinking like this. It seemed like she was attending someone's research result launch or something? Maya seemed to have something to do and didn't come. Seeing Artoria chatting happily with an Asian woman, she felt a bit slighted and had a drinking contest with her. The other party seemed to be able to drink quite a bit, but the troublemaking Artoria finally brought out that bottle of 'Vodka'. She couldn't remember the rest, no matter how hard she tried.
"Where's Artoria?"
"Where is she? I'm going to break her legs."
She was thrown into a cold office while Artoria was sleeping in a warm, big bed. She had to kill this 'plastic' best friend to quench the hatred in her heart; her anger was about to hit the ceiling.
"An invitation from Hammer Industries. Looks like this guy is doomed."
While her main body was 'calming down' in the training ground, Artoria's clone came to the office and looked at the invitation that arrived this morning, a smile curling at the corners of her mouth. It seemed like her little treasury could gain a significant amount of activity funds recently. It was time to start making contact with S.H.I.E.L.D.... oh wait! S.H.I.E.L.D. now. She wanted to research the Kree first to see if these aliens could bring her some extraordinary gains.
