Daphne hums cheerfully as she cleans up the experimental tubes. They are now being assigned to take part in the medical laboratory. Joy sparkles inside her heart. When she graduates, she will not only become a half-assed bachelor - she will graduate as a real, credible doctor.

"We truly appreciate Jupiter government for the kindness in helping our country's biomedical researches. The Jupiter government is also very helpful in accelerating the reduction of the Fuxa pathogen transmission rate," The Advisor laughs with excitement.
281Please respect copyright.PENANAmmVsaZYdtD
"And we also value the professionalism of your government. The beneficial researchers have straightened the partnerships between Jupiter and Pluto," Stairmount chimes in.
281Please respect copyright.PENANArXUvmnrXg7
The Advisor laughs aloud, his laughter is so loud it can be heard to the back of the laboratory, on the other hand, Stairmount's chuckle is masked by the Advisor's laughter, hence the sound that Daphne can hear is only the Advisor's laughter.
281Please respect copyright.PENANAWx4B0YBTSV
"But I heard that Neptune isn't happy with our partnership..." Stairmount suddenly cuts off the Advisor's cheerful laugh with a serious tone.
281Please respect copyright.PENANAK0et2WCtsv
The Advisor stops laughing, his expression turns serious. "...let alone Neptune, even the Sapphire people themselves don't like this..."
281Please respect copyright.PENANAPmIRZ0kCOR
"I heard that the majority population who inhabit Sapphire is ethnic Neptunian, not indigenous Plutonian, is that true?"
281Please respect copyright.PENANAFbuc2sd53o
"It is true." The Advisor immediately lowers his voice. "And one of them is Daphne Yalle." He glances at Daphne who is still busy cleaning the experimental tubes.
281Please respect copyright.PENANAOMhonadaIw
"What?..." Stairmount raises an eyebrow in surprise. "But..."
281Please respect copyright.PENANAl9Mmz4xn3i
"After all, Plutonians have the similarity in figures with Neptunians. Since then, we need to be careful about the topic we discuss. Not all Sapphire people like what we are talking about."
281Please respect copyright.PENANA5aPD6c5e9Y
The Advisor makes a wrong guess. Daphne hears everything, but actually, she does not feel antipathy at all. In fact, she is not interested in whatever they are talking about. Daphne's family chooses to be ignorant of every kind of political matter or anything related to it. Especially Daphne. Although looks taciturn from the surface, but Daphne's hobbies are not different from every common girl in general - browsing the internet, watching movies, traveling, and other similar petty things. The unusual thing she likes is only biology and medical science. And she really doesn't care about her blood. Whether she is Neptunian, or Plutonian, it doesn't matter to her. Because all she wants is just to become a beautiful woman, liked by everyone, and of course, to be a smart doctor.

The Advisor clears his throat, then goes out of the classroom. Meanwhile, Stairmount moves closer to Daphne.
281Please respect copyright.PENANAJP99QbqTRm
"Hello," Stairmount greets kindly. "If I'm not mistaken, you are Daph... Daph..."
281Please respect copyright.PENANA3lNfx2cFfM
"Daphne, Sir." Turning her head, Daphne greets respectfully.
281Please respect copyright.PENANAJtdcmk9sMz
"Yes, Daphne. Hmm, you come so early. You really like medical science, then."
281Please respect copyright.PENANApbfncCBH6t
"Yes, Sir. I really like it."
281Please respect copyright.PENANAhdQOqQUjPN
"Can you explain the reason? Because the girls in your age are usually interested in things like fashion or music."
281Please respect copyright.PENANAQJIVY0xpac
"My father is a doctor. I admire him so much."
281Please respect copyright.PENANAhDmQiwKFLQ
"Really? Wow, your father is so cool. Can you tell me the name of the hospital your father is working at?"
281Please respect copyright.PENANAGtB5Waqa73
"Now he has passed away."
281Please respect copyright.PENANAOOz1xkh3hI
"Oh... I'm sorry to hear that..."
281Please respect copyright.PENANAvipvkMjk8p
"Thank you for your sympathy." Daphne turns quiet. She is now wiping her hands after she finishes the experimental tube cleaning. Actually her laboratory class is finished, and her task of tidying up the experimental tubes has also been completed so that she may leave the classroom, but it seems that something odd has happened here. And that oddity now holds her back tightly.

She keeps silent, while having her eyes stare at Stairmount for a few seconds.
281Please respect copyright.PENANALkdPy2GuOr
This gaze, without her realizing it, makes Stairmount blink. That 27-year-old young man suddenly feels uneasy.
281Please respect copyright.PENANACegOyKiHZu
"Sir, actually what is your ethnicity?"
281Please respect copyright.PENANAfUWo1xCv7k
"Eh, of course, I am Jupiterian..."
281Please respect copyright.PENANAeldFT3JRf7
"But, your face shows that you are Lismesan? And your surname is like the Saturnians?" Daphne's glare turns sharper. "Do all Jupiter people have Lismesan faces? But is it different from everything I know? All I know is that, the majority of Jupiter's ethnicity is Jupitune?"
281Please respect copyright.PENANAqay4wnvR8j
In response to Daphne's curiosity, Stairmount curves a wide smile. He drags a chair, and then sits on it.
281Please respect copyright.PENANAQGXC1uZN7r
"Jupiter is a multicultural country. Jupiter is not inhabited only by the Jupiterians, you can also find many other kinds of ethnicity in Jupiter. You can even say that all races around this planet can definitely be found on Jupiter, because Jupiter is very open to immigrants."
281Please respect copyright.PENANAHhjBEcgmAu
"So, you are Jupiterian?"
281Please respect copyright.PENANAprTMP8urGr
"Yes, definitely. Since my identity card and my passport writes my nationality as 'Jupiter' ."
281Please respect copyright.PENANAmiXgHdB9XP
"Based on ethnicity, what kind of race are you?"
281Please respect copyright.PENANAfJMTeF4sZJ
"I am a Saturnian-Jupiterian."
281Please respect copyright.PENANANdMZr504bH
"Born in Jupiter?"
281Please respect copyright.PENANA0l1qNgIQ3w
"Yes. Born and grow there."
281Please respect copyright.PENANADHvJg3nnju
"Can Plutonians be found in Jupiter?"
281Please respect copyright.PENANAmKh35cKrkB
"Sure."
281Please respect copyright.PENANAxW5vYlT0jK
"Wow." Daphne's sharp gaze wanders in awe. "I've never left Pluto. No, I even rarely leave Sapphire. So, if I get a chance to study for a master's degree, I want to study at Amethyst University in the capital. I want to see the world from a wider perspective."
281Please respect copyright.PENANA27ftAJE8Bk
"And if possible, to Jupiter?"
281Please respect copyright.PENANAk9QKL0hzNS
"Ah, if I can reach that dream... I will be very happy!"
281Please respect copyright.PENANAjZd5Vae65P
"Well, how about you, Daphne?"
281Please respect copyright.PENANAPVu2xSkKeo
"Eh, me? I am Plutonian, of course..."
281Please respect copyright.PENANAdQHPpRjD8w
"Not by nationality. But by ethnicity."
281Please respect copyright.PENANAu480gAAfhS
"Oh, as for ethnicity, I am Neptunian."
281Please respect copyright.PENANAd6FaEp80Mv
Looks like Stairmount is going to ask about something, but suddenly he turns silent. It is as if something is holding him back from asking the question. Thus, he keeps silent for a moment.
