When Leo followed Emilly and the others into the room next to the garage, he was immediately deeply attracted by what he saw. The entire space was both practical and exuded a warm feeling of home. The clever combination of the living room, kitchen, and bar area created a comfortable and intimate environment. Every corner of the living room revealed delicate care, from the decorations on the walls to the vivid paintings, every little item made the space more lively. The bar was filled with all kinds of drinks and snacks, evidently indicating a high degree of freedom in living here, filled with a relaxing atmosphere.
Jim seemed particularly proud of everything here, constantly interjecting his own opinions and comments during the introduction. He enthusiastically told Leo that the food in the kitchen could be enjoyed freely, and the game console under the TV was their common tool for relaxation. However, halfway through the introduction, Jim suddenly switched to an unexpectedly serious mode. He solemnly emphasized to Leo a seemingly strange rule - absolutely no watching the rainbow channel in the living room, as doing so would be considered extremely rude behavior. Leo couldn't help but feel a little confused upon hearing this sudden rule.
At this moment, Sarah and Emilly almost simultaneously took action, pushing Jim aside from both sides. It was clear that they didn't buy into Jim's remarks. Emilly quietly said to Leo, "Don't mind him, there are no strange rules like he said here. You can do whatever you want, as long as it makes you happy." Sarah added, "Yes, the most important thing here is to make everyone feel relaxed, just like at home."
In this relaxed and slightly playful atmosphere, Leo felt a warmth of home. This new home, despite being full of unknowns and challenges, was also filled with warmth and care, making him look forward to the new life about to begin.
When Emily brought Leo to the seemingly ordinary wall next to the kitchen, she precisely searched the wall and eventually found a cleverly hidden button. With a gentle press, the sturdy wall began to silently slide apart, gradually revealing the secret space behind it. This scene left Leo feeling both surprised and curious, his eyes widened as he tried to capture every detail of the moment.
As the wall completely opened, a high-tech command center was displayed in front of them. Its interior equipment and design were not only modern but also exuded a strong sense of technology, featuring various advanced communication and monitoring devices. In the center, there was even a huge tactical display screen that could show various tactical maps and real-time data. The atmosphere of the entire command center was both serious and professional, demonstrating that the Valkyrie mercenary group was not just an ordinary mercenary team, but possessed strategic and tactical planning capabilities that matched the war conference room of the Star Alliance.
Leo's heart was filled with respect and a hint of pressure. Every piece of equipment here, every flickering data on the screens, represented the challenges and dangers that might be faced in future missions. But at the same time, it was also an opportunity, a chance to prove oneself and contribute to the team.
Emily looked at Leo's shocked expression and smiled as she explained, "This is our heart, where we plan, discuss, and command all operations." Her voice carried a hint of pride, clearly showing deep trust and reliance on this operations center.
As Leo and Emily were exploring this hidden operations center, immersed in their amazement and curiosity about the new environment, a sudden rush of footsteps broke the brief silence at the staircase. Soon after, Alex's voice cut through the air, filled with anticipation and concern: "Have you brought Leo back?" This unexpected greeting caught Leo off guard, and his response seemed overly formal as he loudly replied, "Yes!"
Hearing Leo's militaristic response, Emily and the other team members couldn't help but laugh, which made Leo feel a bit embarrassed. In this relaxed environment, such a formal response seemed particularly out of place. Seeing Leo's reaction, Jim couldn't help but pat his shoulder, half jokingly and half seriously reminding him, "This isn't the military, we're mercenaries, you don't need to answer so formally!" Leo nodded, silently taking note of this little reminder.
At that moment, Alex walked up behind Leo, his voice carrying a hint of warmth and welcome: "Welcome back, Second Lieutenant." These words warmed Leo's heart, making him feel that this mercenary group was not just about combat and missions, but also about strong team camaraderie and mutual support. In that moment, Leo deeply felt that he had become an indispensable part of this team, and that in the face of any challenge or danger in the future, he would stand shoulder to shoulder with his comrades to face it together.
Alex stood at the forefront of the operations center, his gaze sweeping over each member present, and then solemnly suggested, "Since everyone happens to be here, let's have a briefing for the upcoming operation." His voice was firm and powerful, showing his determination and sense of responsibility as the team leader.
Jim immediately showed his usual complaining mode when he heard this, half-jokingly and half-seriously retorting, "Hey! We just got back! Can't we at least let Second Lieutenant rest for a bit?" He looked at Leo with a hint of concern and reluctance in his eyes, seemingly thinking about Leo's fatigue.
"Hey, take it easy, Alex. We just got back from outside, haven't even had a drink of water yet!" Jim said, taking a deep breath loudly as if to prove his fatigue. Then he turned to Leo, speaking in a seemingly caring tone, " Second Lieutenant just recovered from Douglas, his body hasn't fully adjusted yet. Shouldn't we give him more rest time?" However, Leo shook his head, showing his determination and readiness to engage in battle at any time, firmly answering, "I've rested enough at Douglas, I'm good to go!" There was no hesitation in his voice. Leo's firm attitude made Jim's excuses seem even more strained. Seeing this, Jim sighed reluctantly but didn't give up, attempting to change the subject, "Do you guys know, the weather outside is really nice today. Why don't we go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air? Sitting here in a meeting is so stuffy!"
Sarah and Emily are both fed up with Jim's procrastination tactics. Sarah bluntly responds, "Jim, stop making excuses. We all know you just don't want to have the meeting. But this mission is important, and we need to take it seriously." Emily adds, "Yes, and Leo said he's ready, so stop finding reasons not to participate."
Jim eventually gives in reluctantly, but still tries to lighten the mood with humor, "Alright, alright, for the sake of your sincerity, I'll reluctantly attend this meeting." With that, he theatrically adjusts his chair and takes his seat.
Alex smiled slightly and thanked everyone for their cooperation, then immediately began to move into the main topic of the meeting. Despite the initial awkward atmosphere, with the collective effort of everyone, the meeting gradually got on track, discussing the upcoming tasks and challenges. Jim's resistance and procrastination added a bit of a relaxed atmosphere, but also reflected the strong team spirit and mutual support within this mercenary group.
