From Human to Skeleton: Revived with Infinite System Crystals Chapter 275: The Stage is set... Again

"A… A big forehead??" Rosa, taken aback, covered her head slightly, a mix of embarrassnt and surprise on her face.

Jade quickly interjected, spending the next few minutes explaining everything to Rosa, who listened intently, her curiosity leading to a barrage of questions.

After about fifteen minutes of further explanation, Rosa finally seed to grasp the situation. "Okay, I see, so the director had him sign so bonding vow to force him not to kill us anymore?" She was still trying to wrap her head around the concept.

"Can't say I fully understand it, but if the director did all of that, I guess I have to accept it." Rosa's acceptance ca with a hint of resignation

The sudden blare of the alarm interrupted their conversation, causing Rosa to grit her teeth in frustration. "A 5th ti?!" she exclaid, disbelief coloring her voice as the loudspeaker echoed through the room, "Jade, Rosa, please report to the debrief room."

Rosa's expression turned to one of shock. Having already been summoned twice before in the sa day, the reality of a third call to action was almost too much to bear. "A… Again?!?" she voiced her incredulity.

Jade, ever pragmatic, began to pack away her equipnt. "Well, let's get this over with. The sooner we do, the sooner we get so sleep, hopefully." She couldn't help but express her concern for Rosa's well-being amidst the continuous demands. "I'm surprised they are leaning on you so much, though.

I know the director stated they have a lot of people fighting and moving pieces, but still." Her words trailed off as she pondered the situation, a finger thoughtfully under her chin.

Rosa, showing resilience despite her evident exhaustion, nodded in agreent. "Yeah, I can't complain though. It is what we signed up for, and if it ans everyone gets to sleep peacefully, then I guess I have to deal with it. At least I will have you with ."

Jade offered a supportive smile. "Haha, yeah, I suppose so," she agreed, shifting the topic to a lighter note. "By the way, how is Oscar doing?" she inquired as they made their way to the debrief room.

"He's doing good; he still has a broken bone that's taking a bit longer to heal," Rosa responded, her voice tinged with concern yet hopeful.

"I see; well, I do hope to see him back to fighting soon—at least to give you a break," Jade replied, offering a slight chuckle to lighten the mood.

Upon arriving in the debriefing room, they were greeted by Victoria, who handed them a folder. "Here you go," she said succinctly.

Jade, flipping through the folder, noted its contents:

{Type: Unknown}

{Threat: Low}

{Open field. No humans nearby currently}

"This is pretty empty. What gives?" Jade asked, looking up from the folder.

"Sadly, we don't have much to go on for this one. The machine has only detected it a few tis, but it's never been a big threat, so this will be no different. You have twenty minutes until it arrives, so ensure you get the barrier set up in that ti fra," Victoria explained.

Jade and Rosa spent the next five minutes preparing, swiftly moving through their routine. Soon, they found themselves in the open field, where lush green grass swayed in the light wind, carrying a hint of rose water scent with it.

Rosa noted, "It sure slls nice out tonight; too bad it can't be a normal stroll and et so cute boys, ya know."

Jade chuckled as she pulled out her dagger, then traced her hand along the ground, finding a plot of dirt with no grass before plunging it into the ground fully. An invisible wall began to form around them, blocking the outside off.

"I have told you before I'm already taken by soone else, haven't I?" Jade stated, standing up fully and wiping her forehead. Rosa responded, "Yes, at so point, you did when you explained your backstory and all that good stuff, but nothing wrong with a window looking."

"I'm sure if he's off in this other vast universe fighting all these crazy stuff, I'm sure a few cute girls walk past him a few tis, you know?" Jade, a bit annoyed, stated, "What, and you think he's just out there flirting?"

"No, I bet he is super loyal, just like yourself, but if he had the opportunity to get back and he made a genuine connection with soone who could assist him to get back, it could cost him, ya know?" Rosa's voice held a hint of concern as she shared her thoughts.

Jade, confused, shook her head. "No, not really. Please elaborate on what you an?"

Rosa chuckled slightly. "It's just a guess, but if he t soone, particularly a woman with a lot of power who could assist him in getting back here, he might give them the cold shoulder out of loyalty, even if a genuine connection is there," she explained.

Jade pondered for a mont. "I suppose that is true, but there is nothing I can really do about that. However, when you say it like that, imagining all the friends he is probably making makes a bit happy. He always had a way of making people smile. If I do see him again, I will have to make sure to let him know not to hinder himself for ."

Rosa patted her hand on her back reassuringly. "That's the spirit. But even if more girls do show up, you have to let them know who's boss first and foremost."

Jade blushed slightly. "Uh, how do I do that?"

Before Rosa could answer, the portal began to crack and open in the center, signaling the imminent arrival of their foe.

Rosa stated, "Perhaps another ti. What do you think?"

"Yeah, let's take care of this creature," Jade stated with determination.

"V, let's show her the combo we used on Erebos!" Jade exclaid, her eyes flaring white for a mont as V nodded and detached from her shoulder, leaving a bit of frozen frost behind.
