Chapter 020 Onward to Biotope 01

After leaving Heavy Hole, I immediately went back to World Kitchen to see old man Roman. Due to the fact that Rapp knew about me might have been his doings. Although we are only business partner I know Roman wouldn't betray me. As I walk closer I can see Roman waiting outside expecting someone to arrived, I called out to him and he suddenly pulled me into the warehouse and close it.

"Old man, what do yo.." (Satou)

"Shssss. Keep quite and follow me." (Roman)

Roman went to a side and opened a secret door below and went in. I followed him behind and saw a collection of different ingredients preserve. I saw Roman entering an office an followed him. There Roman is sitting on the table with few papers on him, he invited me to sit down and started to talk.

"I know you have a lot of questions in you but let me talk first." (Roman)

"Okay. I trust in you old man." (Satou)

As I said that Roman started to talk about six months ago about the day I went out to the Melk Mountain and a certain someone visited him asking questions about me telling everything that happened.

"So Rapp came here 1st huh, it's no wonder he knows me. But old man aren't you a tight lipped person telling him about me? What if he's lying? Do you know that I might be in danger?" (Satou)

"Well, with his power he can make me talk just by a little tor.. I mean a little pain. And also I have lived long enough to discern people, in my business there are a lot of dirty people doing dirty deeds." (Roman)

"Well, if I'm in your position I would do the same. Enough of this depression talk. I have some Ruby Crabs and Melk Stardust. Want some?" (Satou)

"What!? You got some Ruby Crabs and Melk Stardust! Of course I want some. Sell it to me." (Roman)

"You can have it as a souvenir. I'm not in need in money." (Satou)

"Thanks kid. Oh.. By the way, that guy named Rapp went here and left a message for you." (Roman)

"What message did he left?" (Satou)

"He said, you should go to Biotope 1 to meet the IGO President. He also said you should be able to train there." (Roman)

"Hmm.. I guess I should meet him as soon as possible." (Satou)

"Oh by the way. I received some information that next year Century Soup is about to mature. I heard that many are preparing for that." (Roman)

"Really? Hmm.. I should make preparations." (Satou)

"I can help you with that. Food and equipments should be easy since you gave me a nice souvenir." (Roman)

"Yeah.. Help me with that one. Ice Hell is not an easy place." (Satou)

"After you trained remember to come here and pick the equipment and ration I prepared. Since your going to Biotope 1, bring some presents to this old man." (Roman)

"Sure. Then I'll get going. I need to buy a ticket to South since Biotope 1 is there." (Satou)

"Bye kid. Bring me something delicious next time." (Roman)

"Oh sure I will." (Satou)

After saying my goodbye, I went to the airport and bought a ticket to Regal island where the Biotope 1 is.
