Vulcan's Workshop

Kay.

What is it, Vulcan  ?

Need my help?

When was the last time you performed maintenance on your equipment?

Well...

Let me think.

One... Two...

(Ceobe counts on her fingers)

Fifteen days, I think?

It's about time. You'd better get to work on them.

Okay.

You still have that maintenance diagram I drew for you?

Yup! I hung it up in my room.

Are there sufficient tools and consumables in that room? If you've run out, you can take some now.

There's enough!

Good.

Let's clean up and pack up. Then we can head out when the fire dies down.

Leave? Are you going out?

Yes, I have to go check on the boiler room, then collect the materials I ordered from the warehouse  . Don't have time to worry about the fire.

I can watch the fire.

That's not a good job   for you.

You have things you need to do as well, right?

I guess.

Almost time. Let's go.

I made you a lunch, remember to take it when you leave.

I'll come find you when I finish.

Okay, Vulcan  .

Right, see you later.

Come back soon!

Oh... She's gone...

What... should I do...?

Hmm...

I'll go to my room to take care of my babies   then.

Dormitories

Ceobe's Room

This...  The picture   says vegetable oil.

Vegetable oil?

Is it... this?

The label says——Vege... table... Oil...!

I got it!

What's the next step?

Hmm...

Dip the cloth into the oil, then slowly rub all the shiny parts.

Yup, just like that!

I remember it super clearly.

Hehe.

I wonder what Vulcan will say when she sees how good   I did? Maybe I'll get a gift?

She made a top   for me last time. It's so fun to spin!

Maybe I'll get something even better this time.

Hm...

I've never tasted oil before.

Since it's food for my babies, it must taste good.

(Ceobe dips her finger in the oil and licks it)

Blech.

Looks like I can't eat the food my babies like.

And here I thought maybe we'd have something to enjoy together.

Hmph.

Back to work.

Hmm...

Okay, I'm done!

What to do next?

Oh, I have to wipe oil on other parts.

With different oils too.

Yeah.

A long, long time later...

I think I'm almost done.

I'm kinda hungry.

Okay, lunch time, lunch time.

Today's lunch is——

Grilled meatbeast chop! And mashed potatoes with sauce!

Wow!

Awawawa!!!

Ah——finished!

Vulcan is so good at crafting anything, even food!

But——I'm still a little hungry——

Hm, what time is it now?

Oh, eleven... eleven fifteen... It's noon!

It's time for everyone to eat!

Which means——

Yay!

Away!!!

11:30 A.M.

Rhodes Island Cafeteria

Wow, there's a lot of people here!

Let's see what food they have.

W-Wow!

Wow!!

Hello, Ceobe. What do you want to eat?

I'm looking.

(Since there's so much good food here, there must be more inside!)

(Okay, let me think how to sneak inside.)

Are you going to order?

No, I don't need to  .

Bye!

See you.

Courier, the food for your counter is almost here. Be ready.

Okay.

(Whisper) She's here.
