Slowly and confidently, I entered the building called 'Mana Research Laboratories' and was greeted at the reception desk by the same woman as the first time I came here, nostalgically.
"What are you here for?"
She didn't recognize me...
"I'm going to Professor Ulka's laboratory."
The woman raised her eyebrows for a moment and looked at me.
"Professor Ulka DeLaor?"
It must have been surprising to meet someone wanting to see a maniac who had never had visitors before, who had completely locked himself in his laboratory and focused only on his research...
"If you let him know, he'll give his approval."
The woman eyed me skeptically, typing something on the screen in front of her without taking her eyes off me. After a few seconds, her face became even more puzzled, like a rabbit in headlights.
"W- wait a moment please..."
"Sure."
