My Arknights Life Diary

Chapter 172 Red: You are more human than a human.

And Red, who was driven out of the tent by Tu Fang, was in a state of having nowhere to go in a sense...

In the end, he had no choice but to go back to his teammates to spend the night. After all, where else could he go?

.............

The next morning, Red got up from his bed. He still had to perform the escort mission. Even though Tu Fang had explained it to him, his mission had not actually started yet.

Red, who got up early, did not alarm his teammates. He chose to go to Tu Fang's tent alone quietly.

Wear a mask, wrap a scarf around your neck, and carry a long knife on your back.

I picked up a few cans of food and put them in my pocket as breakfast later.

Red set out again.

Red got up very early. Except for some people on duty, no one in the entire camp got up earlier than him.

Of course, it was also because he got up very early, so...

"Ah~ I slept so well...

"What the hell are you doing here, Red?"

Tu Fang, who had just woken up, opened his eyes and saw Red sitting beside him, looking at him, with flames coming out of his long knife, and heating canned food...

"Ah? Sir, are you awake? Would you like some of this? It tastes pretty good!"

Reid was a little surprised to see Tu Fang wake up. He thought Tu Fang would sleep for a while longer, but he soon returned to normal.

Then, he handed the heated can of food in his hand towards Tu Fang.

"Don't change the subject. Why are you in my tent?"

Tu Fang, sitting on the bed, waved his hand to refuse Red's canned food. He now wanted to know why Red appeared in his tent.

"Oh, sir, I got up very early today and came here very early. Protecting you is my duty and the leader's order, and I will naturally obey orders and follow instructions!"

Listening to Red's words, Tu Fang felt speechless.

"Oh, forget it. You don't have to come so early next time... Oh! By the way! You don't have to call me sir, just call me Tu Fang!"

"Got it, sir!"

Tu Fang looked at Red and didn't know what to say. He knew that Red was a new recruit and had just joined the camp not long ago.

Full of passion and longing...

At the same time, some concepts have not changed, such as certain hierarchical concepts, because Tu Fang was not very active in the camp and had been away for a while.

So most newcomers like him don’t know Tu Fang. But yesterday, after he knew that Tu Fang was actually a senior cadre, he kept calling Tu Fang "Commander".

Just like he always called Tallulah Chief...

To be honest, there is no clear rule on how to address someone in the camp. Everyone in the camp is called Tallulah, so you can just call her by her name, and of course you can also call her the leader.

The same is true for the Patriot. The Shield Guards still call him Captain, the Snow Monster Squad calls him Big Daddy, and more people call him "Patriot"

The same goes for Tu Fang, but since he is used to the name Tu Fang, he is a little uncomfortable when he is asked to change it all of a sudden.

That’s why he corrected Red’s way of calling him, but as for the result… Judging from the current situation, we can only wait for the subtle influence of the camp…

Tu Fang, who had already woken up, naturally couldn't just stay in bed all the time. He quickly put on some of his clothes and then got out of bed.

Red, who was watching all this, then reached out and handed over the heated can again.

Tu Fang did not refuse this time and took it. However, he did not eat it immediately. Instead, he chose to put the still slightly hot can into his pocket.

And you know what, this hot can is not only not hot, but also quite warm because it is separated from the clothes.

After doing all this, Tu Fang left the tent and prepared to get some water to wash up, while Red stayed in the tent alone, waiting for Tu Fang.

As for why he didn't follow...

Of course it was because he was thinking about something, something that aroused his curiosity. Of course there was a more important reason, which was that when Tu Fang left the tent, he specifically mentioned that he didn't need to follow.

In this case, his choice is of course to obey orders and follow instructions!

As for what Red was thinking at this moment...

What race is Commander Tu Fang? He doesn't have a scaly or hairy tail, no animal ears or horns on his head, and there are no scales or anything like that on his body...

Red, who was sitting on the stool, thought so. It was not surprising why he had such an idea.

After all, guessing the other party's race is, in a sense, a habit of some Terran people.

You know, there are still some Terrans who can’t tell the difference between Rupert, Pero and Volper!

It is not surprising that Redd, who had looked at Tu Fang's entire body, had such thoughts. Of course, as for how much he had seen...

It can only be said that he saw everything that Tallulah saw, and he also saw things that Tallulah didn't see. After all, they are both men, so Tu Fang didn't hide anything too much.

But of course some private parts were definitely not visible, after all, Tu Fang slept with clothes on.

As for why he didn't ask directly just now?

Of course, this is also because in the eyes of some Terrans, directly asking about the other person's race is a very offensive behavior. After all, in their concept, it is very offensive.

Asking about his race means you have identified the wrong race. After all, the characteristics of many races are quite obvious.

To give a simple example, you say a Luper is actually a Pelo......

The most likely result of his behavior is that you will be scolded by that Rupert, and then he will correct your statement and make you understand that it is not the uneducated thing like Pero.

Even many, many years ago, before there was a "Rupert," they were actually considered to be Pelo.

(Let’s take a simpler example. You are a citizen of country C, but a person from country M thinks you are from country R…)

Red had this concern at the moment, but after washing up, Tu Fang returned to the tent.

He also noticed that Red seemed to be thinking about something at this moment, and was looking at him from time to time.

So he spoke with some doubt.

"Red, what are you thinking about? Is there something wrong?"

"Um...I want to ask you a question, which may be a little presumptuous."

"What's the problem? It's okay, just tell me!"

After hearing Tu Fang's words, Reid's concerns were barely dispelled, so he spoke.

"Uh.....what is your race, sir?

You don't have horns on your head, a tail behind you, or scales on your body, but no matter how you look at it, you look...

A feeling of being too normal? How should I put it? Sir, you give me the feeling that you are more human than a human…”

After hearing Reid's question, Tu Fang had already guessed something. After all, he had lived in Terra for such a long time and naturally knew some of the culture.

But he actually didn't care about it, so he habitually gave the same unchanging answer.

"Pitram, this is my race."

Tu Fang said so.

But to be honest, he was also quite curious about why this race was more human-like than Agor. Tu Fang was very sure that there was nothing on the turtle's body that shouldn't be on humans.

However, despite such doubts, Tu Fang still uses this race as his own alias.

However, when Red heard Tu Fang's words, he fell into deep thought again, and then spoke in a low voice as if talking to himself.

"Pitram... is there such a race? Why haven't I heard of it?"
