About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, Orson finds himself puzzled in a room after a mysterious noise and is soon joined by Kelsey, who has just experienced an awkward moment that leaves her feeling flustered. Kelsey is trying to maintain her composed demeanor, reflecting on her plans and emotions regarding her relationship with Orson. Despite her carefully laid plans, Kelsey realizes that unexpected changes might lead to her feelings being revealed. As they prepare to leave, Orson grabs a modified guitar-like weapon known as the Red Queen, equipped with a "HYPER flash grenade" that produces a blinding light. Afterward, Kelsey unexpectedly showers Orson with various coupons from an innkeeper, revealing that she has taken out her frustrations on him. They decide to head to the beach using one of the coupons for lunch. While walking along the beach, Orson tries to engage Kelsey in a conversation about oceans, which leads to a discussion about the metaphorical "deep sea" and its dangers. Orson contemplates his connections with Scati, a deep sea hunter, and struggles with his feelings about gift-giving. As they share their time at the beach, Kelsey grapples with new emotions that arise when being with Orson, subtly observing couples and relating it to her inner thoughts about their potential relationship. They reach a beachside restaurant, where Kelsey takes a phone call related to business, leaving Orson to peruse the menu. Just then, Orson spots the mayor's daughter, Xi Lan, and her entourage, along with the quiet Filin woman named Hei. Hei confronts Orson directly, instructing him to leave the city, disrupting the moment he planned to share with Kelsey. The interaction between Orson and Hei introduces tension into the relatively relaxed day, setting the stage for potential conflict as they navigate the complex relationships and unforeseen challenges they face.
