The fighting on the second night came to nothing.
The medical staff waiting on the side quickly carried Fleur and her canine automaton Rabbi on stretchers and sent them to the infirmary.
Xiao Lin also went together.
Fleur was not seriously injured, but her blood was forcefully extracted in a short period of time, causing her body to become somewhat anemic. With Kobayashi's magic to restore him, even if he is on the verge of death, he will be cured. But because she was exhausted, she was lying on a simple hospital bed and fell asleep.
The problem is the rabbi.
It is a wolf-dog type automaton. Even with Kobayashi's recovery magic, it cannot repair its damaged magic circuit. After all, it is not a body but an artificial machine.
Fortunately they have a master who knows how to make automatons.
——Hualiuzhai Glass.
Opening the door of the infirmary, a mature and coquettish beauty in kimono, accompanied by her guard Iruri, came into view.
Ignoring Krul, the only doctor in the academy who flattered her, she went straight to Xiao Lin.
With an aura of seduction, he whispered: "The reward will be discussed later, okay?"
"certainly."
Xiaolin is incompetent.
He is proficient in girl-type automatons like Liu Zi, but that doesn't mean he is also proficient in wolf-dog automatons, especially when Rabbi's body still uses a lot of biological materials.
Instead of using the three-legged cat's kung fu to create a mess, it's better to spend some money and let the puppet master take action.
At this time, Glass glanced at Kimberly who was standing aside and said, "Is it okay if I take action without permission?"
"I don't mind. It should even be said that I feel honored. After all, I can see the world-famous Hanayuzai-sama show off his skills."
Kimberly spoke highly of her, but her tone was full of reluctance. It seemed that she was very angry that she had to ask others for help when her student was injured.
After getting the consent, Glass put on the eye mask and looked at the rabbi through the perspective glass.
She once mentioned to Xiao Lin that the eye patch can directly see the flow of magic power. Although it is not as useful as [Five Vision Omnipotence], it is one of the ways she can grasp the current situation as soon as possible.
Xiao Lin, who had cooperated with her before, cut off a lot of Fleur's hair and used it as thread to suture Rabbi's wounds.
Then, Glass untied the chains tied around his waist and surrounded Rabbi.
It's a barrier.
Xiao Lin didn't understand the behavior of doing this, but it seemed to be used for defense and meditation, and it should be something to increase the success rate of the operation.
Incidentally, he secretly learned this trick.
Because I always feel that I will use it later.
Then, Glass's [hand skills] began.
Her skills are very refined, without any unnecessary movements. What's more important is that she didn't hesitate for a moment, as if she knew everything about what should be done.
These require a large amount of knowledge reserves, and they are also techniques that Xiaolin cannot learn secretly.
As if admiring the skillful fingering of a pianist, the onlookers seemed to have no time to breathe. In less than ten minutes, the operation was over.
Done in one go.
No matter how many times you watch it, you can't help but marvel at its technical prowess and profound heritage.
There is a reason why he is called the first person.
The last step was to suture the wound and bandage it, and Xiao Lin took over these tasks.
With the [God's Hand], he is very good at this. He can perfectly sew up the wound in three strokes, five divisions and two. At the same time, he used healing magic when wrapping the bandage to speed up the healing of the wound.
"pretty!"
Kimberly, who was watching, showed an expression of wonder from the bottom of her heart and praised: "You two are really a perfect cooperation. In this way, that automatic doll can survive."
"Not necessarily, maybe not possible."
"...What a surprising answer."
"After all, the internal organs are in a mess. If the heart (magic circuit) becomes like that, there is nothing I can do."
this answer
It makes one's heart sink.
Such outstanding skills and techniques can't save it...
"No, that's enough."
Xiao Lin interrupted loudly, causing everyone to turn their attention to him.
"I have used magic to restore Rabbi's internal organs. Miss Glass no longer needs to do carpentry to carve oak trees and repair the missing parts."
"……What did you say."
Hualiuzhai Glass narrowed his eyes slightly.
Subconsciously, she wanted to take a sip from the pipe, but found that she had extinguished it early because it was the infirmary.
Xiao Lin smiled and had no intention of answering.
The kimono girl stared at him closely, paused for a while and said, "I'll wait for you outside, let's have an in-depth discussion (about remuneration)."
After saying that, he twisted around and left.
After checking the conditions of Rabbi and Fleur, Xiao Lin stood up and said to the two of them: "Teacher, can you please take care of Fleur? I want to have an in-depth communication with that mature beauty."
"Ah——, it's such a hot invitation. I'm almost dying of envy."
Krul, the perverted doctor, sighed and had the idea of taking over for Kobayashi to have an in-depth exchange with Hanayusai Glass, but the in-depth exchange he wanted was a little different.
"Do you only have yellow waste in your mind?"
Before Xiao Lin could say anything, Kimberly grabbed his ears and angrily scolded the crooked Krul.
"It hurts, it hurts—"
The pervert doctor took a breath of pain and suppressed himself from letting out a painful howl to avoid disturbing Fleur and Rabbi who were resting.
In terms of professional ethics, he is qualified.
After walking out of the door, Hanayusai Glass leaned against the door. He only saw Xiaolin and then turned around to lead the way, walking down the corridor with steps that were incredibly familiar with his surroundings.
Finally, she came to the empty balcony and sat down.
He took the small box handed over by Iluli, took out the tobacco, lit it, smoked, exhaled, and poured out the ashes.
Glass looked very relaxed after finishing her work. Kobayashi, who had worked with her briefly, knew that she had this habit, but her silence made people feel uncomfortable.
It's so depressing.
Is he deliberately using silence to exert pressure so that he can dominate the subsequent conversation?
Xiao Lin raised his eyebrows.
Hua Liuzhai Glass blew out the smoke and said, "Boy, I have cured the wolf dog, should we talk about the reward now?"
"Oh, I thought Miss Glass had already received her reward...that little place. Although Miss Glass, your skills are very proficient and exquisite, but my eyes can see things that others can't see. You should You haven’t forgotten it.”
Xiao Lin also answered with a smile, not falling behind in the slightest.
"Ah--"
Hualiuzhai Glass did not cover up, and spread his hands openly.
In the palm of her hand, there was a small stone. The small stone engraved with mysterious patterns was the magic circuit. ap.
It’s obvious whose it is.
Hanaryusai Glass continued to take the initiative with words and said, "But you have to know that if you don't take it off, that little girl will still be at risk of being forcefully sucked out the magic power."
"That's why I took this magic circuit as a reward. This should be something you need, otherwise you wouldn't be kind enough to help Frey's automaton Rabbi repair." Not to be outdone, Kobayashi revealed her original purpose.
"But it's not enough."
"The magic circuit produced by D-orks Workshop. Miss Glass has seen its power just now. It's not good to be too greedy."
"Then I'll put it back on."
"…………"
The two looked at each other.
There was seriousness in Hanyuzai Glass's eyes, as if she was saying that she would really do that if the remuneration was not increased.
"Okay, okay, I surrender." Xiao Lin raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and spoke in a very relaxed tone.
Qi asked: "I wonder what kind of reward Miss Glass needs, if I can satisfy it."
"Asking knowingly."
"I'm the kind of person who doesn't understand something unless I explain it clearly."
"--magic."
"Ah, that..."
"Don't try to make excuses. You just deliberately showed your magic in front of me just to whet my appetite."
Hanaryushai Glass seems to have lost its patience.
Xiao Lin originally wanted to tease her some more, but knowing that adult women are like wolves and tigers, he simply handed over the healing magic he had compiled to her.
"Here's the thing. Whether you can use it on the automaton or not is none of my business."
"...Sure enough, you did it on purpose."
Hanaryusai Glass' eyes became even more dangerous, and then he looked into the distance and said this: "It's really unpleasant."
"Um?"
Xiao Lin raised his head and looked at her.
"I think you already know, kid, that Club D attended a night party to compare [Garm] and [Angel]."
"Well, I heard Yomi say it."
"But, that's a cover-up. It's just a fabricated excuse to take advantage of those two children."
Hualiuzhai Glass seems to have the intention of revenge.
Looking directly at Xiaolin, he deliberately said in a bad tone: "The purpose of Club D is not to compare the performance of the two machines. Although they really hope that Loki will sit on the throne of the Demon King. However, Fleur's existence is an experiment. ——That little girl’s heart was assembled with a magic circuit! Those baby limbs seen in the basement are actually [parts].”
Pause for a while to whet your appetite.
She expected to see the excited and angry expression of the young man in front of her, but her response was still expressionless.
"...It seems you already knew."
"Um."
There are not just two kinds of automatons that I want to display at the night party.
After being transformed, the hearts of Fleur and Loki are connected to their respective automatic dolls, and they can exert their strength far beyond that of ordinary puppet users. When applied on the battlefield, it can play a huge role, but the price is naturally the puppet user (Fu Lei)'s death.
In other words, Fleur is D's experimental animals, including the babies whose experiments failed, and they are nothing more than consumables.
"...It's really unpleasant."
Hanayusai Glass repeated it again, took a puff of the pipe, puffed it out and said, "It doesn't matter if it's them or you."
"I?"
Xiao Lin frowned slightly.
"You seem to have known these things for a long time, and you seem to have done something unknown to change."
"……What's the meaning."
"You wantonly mock others and treat them as pawns. Are you happy that everything is going as you expected? Do you think you can do it? Do you think you have already done it? Because these people don't "see" it like you do. Being distant and looking down on the other person? Do what you think is the most reasonable thing and ignore the feelings of others, always thinking that you can solve everything by yourself. Brat, remember this for me——"
For the first time, Huayuzhai Glass stared at Xiao Lin with eyes full of hostility and malice, and his charming voice was full of indifference.
"——This is the so-called "arrogance"! "
"…………"
He was left speechless for a moment.
He didn't even know when the other party left, so he just lowered his head and meditated silently.
The moon is getting higher and higher.
The moonlight shone on Xiao Lin's head, illuminating him, but the darkness around him enveloped him, making the silent boy seem to be rejected by the world.
"Lord Kobayashi..."
Liu Zi took a step forward with concern.
Without waiting for the pretty waiter to comfort him, Xiao Lin spoke first: "I'm fine. It's really an enlightening sermon. Is this the experience of adults?"
He laughed at himself and turned back to the infirmary.
Open the door gently.
All the teachers in the room were gone. Fleur, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, was now staring quietly at Rabbi lying on the bed. Her fair skin was covered with bandages and a large number of OK bandages.
Rabbi wrinkled his nose and lay limply, and Yomi didn't know where he ran.
"...Can you get up now?"
"——!"
Fleur trembled and turned back, her eyes filled with bloodshot eyes from fright.
"Well...you are."
"Don't look at me like this, but I'm actually quite confident in my body."
Xiaolin pretended to be a bitch, but Fleur didn't even laugh.
She looked very haggard, and Xiao Lin didn't know what to do, even though he could get along with her normally before.
Couldn't help but whisper softly.
"...Are you arrogant?"
"Eh?"
"No, it's nothing."
Xiaolin shook his head and said with a reassuring smile: "It doesn't matter. Rabbi will definitely recover, I promise you."
"...It would be great if I could be saved."
Fleur nodded, but her face was still pessimistic.
There was another moment of silence.
Xiao Lin opened his mouth, but said nothing, just apologized without any reason.
"Sorry, it's all me..."
"It's because I'm too weak...! Actually, I should be the one...who wants to go on stage...I'm so scared...that I cried...I was, canceled from the role...that's why...my mother..."
Transparent tears overflowed from the corners of Fleur's eyes.
For a moment, Xiao Lin thought she was insane and couldn't understand what she was talking about. After using [Five Sights and Omnipotence], I understood what she meant.
"Loki, that's why he hates me. It's because I'm too weak...I can't do anything, which makes everyone miserable..."
"wrong."
"Everyone was killed... I couldn't protect him. If I could cheer up... Loki wouldn't have to... become Gabriel's operator."
"wrong."
"I'm sorry, Rabbi...I'm sorry...I can't protect everyone...! It's all because I'm too weak...Everyone is going to die...I'm sorry...Mom...everyone...Rabbi!"
"wrong."
Xiaolin's low roar frightened the crying girl to the point where her body trembled.
Turning around and looking at him blankly.
It's not Fleur's fault.
It was those people who treated Fleur as an experimental animal, caused children to die, and made them into [parts].
He threatened Fleur with hostages and forced her to attend the night party, causing Yomi to almost die, Frey to almost die, and Rabbi to almost die. It was obviously not Fleur's fault.
However--
Now Fleur is crying, using her thin shoulders to take responsibility, bear the guilt, and pay for those who committed the crime.
Xiao Lin gently hugged her into his arms and whispered in her ear: "I'm sorry, I have been ignoring your feelings. I could have used a more tactful method, but I didn't expect that it made you blame yourself even more. I'm sorry, Fleur. "
"……Eh?"
The cute girl was startled by the sudden behavior of the man in front of her.
The body is stiff and the cheeks are hot.
I don't know if it was because I was crying just now, or because I was surrounded by a strong masculine aura.
"——Indeed, I was not fully prepared. I have always wanted to use my own methods to change the status quo. To achieve my goal, I can ignore other feelings."
Xiao Lin repented seriously.
But he said stubbornly: "But, should we say it is the bad nature of human beings? The method I thought of in this situation seems to be the only way I can save it."
Fleur's red eyes revealed great doubts.
"It doesn't matter, I will save you and your family
,I promise. "
After saying that, Xiao Lin kissed... on Fleur's forehead.
