About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, Orson grapples with the uncertainty of hosting a future two-person stand-up act alone while attempting to contact Mostima, only to find the line busy. He feels a lack of direction regarding the mysterious box he found, which may be linked to the Stone Coffin, and contemplates a dangerous journey to Yi Bi Li Ya. Meanwhile, he reflects on his recent past with Talula and her urgent need to return to Qie City. Orson encounters a playful medical cart that tries to persuade him to flee Rhodes Island with it, but he declines, leading him to the R&D department where he meets Clouphiel, who informs him that the knight's sword he was waiting for has been repaired. Orson names the sword "Red Queen" at Clouphiel's prompting, who then expresses her desire to lure over a talented individual named Snow Partridge. The interaction is interrupted by Kelsey, who playfully insists Orson join her on a trip to the coastal city-state of Xista, where they could experience the Obsidian Music Festival. Despite her initial hesitations about the trip's spontaneity, Orson’s easy acceptance reveals his openness to adventure and support for Kelsey’s need for relaxation. Their conversation shifts to Kelsey’s concerns about the true purpose of their journey. She reveals they intend to gather data on a volcano in Xista, prompted by a natural disaster scholar named Ai Ya Fa La, who has encountered issues. This revelation contrasts Kelsey’s earlier emphasis that the trip was not merely for enjoyment but held professional significance. Orson, confused by the apparent deviation from Rhodes Island's focus on treating Oripathy, questions Kelsey about a commercial order she needs to attend to. This leads to tension as Kelsey tries to deflect the inquiry while acknowledging the organization's struggling finances, hinting that adaptability is necessary for survival.
