I like traveling the most

The second night's battle ended in vain.

The medical staff waiting nearby quickly carried Frey and her dog-shaped automaton Rabbi on a stretcher and sent them to the infirmary.

Kobayashi also went with them.

Frey was not seriously injured. Her blood was forcefully extracted in a short period of time, causing her body to be anemic. With Kobayashi's magic to recover, she would be cured even if she was on the verge of death. However, because she was exhausted, she was lying on a simple bed and sleeping.

The problem was Rabbi.

It was a wolf-dog-shaped automaton. Even with Kobayashi's recovery magic, it was impossible to repair its damaged magic circuit. After all, it was not a flesh body but an artificial machine.

Fortunately, they had a master who was proficient in automatons.

——Hanayusai Glass.

Opening the door of the infirmary, a mature and charming kimono beauty accompanied by her guard Iruri came into everyone's sight.

Ignoring Krull, the only doctor in the academy who was flattering her, she went straight to Kobayashi.

With a seductive breath, she whispered: "Let's talk about the reward later, okay?"

"Of course."

Kobayashi had no objection.

His proficiency in girl-type automatons like Ryuushi did not mean that he was also proficient in wolfhound-type automatons, especially when Rabbi's body was made of a lot of biological materials.

Rather than making a mess with his mediocre skills, it would be better to spend some money to let the puppet master take action.

At this time, Naturo glanced at Kimberly standing aside and said, "Is it okay if I take action without authorization?"

"I don't mind. I should even say that I feel honored. After all, I can see the world-famous Master Hanayusai show his skills."

Kimberly had a high opinion of her, but her tone was full of reluctance. It seemed that she was very angry that she could only ask others for help when her students were injured.

After getting the consent, Nataro operated the eye mask and looked at Rabbi through the perspective mirror.

She had mentioned to Kobayashi that the eye mask could directly see the flow of magic power. Although it was not as useful as [Five Visions], it was also one of the means for her to grasp the current situation as soon as possible.

Kobayashi, who had cooperated with her, cut off a lot of Frey's hair first and used it as silk thread to suture Rabbi's wound.

Then, Nataro untied the chain tied around her waist and surrounded Rabbi.

It was a barrier.

Kobayashi didn't understand why he did this, but it seemed to be used for defense and meditation. It should be something to increase the success rate of the operation.

By the way, he learned this trick secretly.

Because I always feel that it will be used later.

Then, Nataro's [Hand Skills] began.

Her skills were very refined, without any unnecessary movements. More importantly, she didn't hesitate for a moment, as if she knew everything about what to do where.

These require a lot of knowledge reserves, and are also techniques that Kobayashi cannot learn secretly.

Just like appreciating the skillful fingering of a pianist, the onlookers seemed to have no time to take a breath, and the operation was over in less than ten minutes.

It was done in one go.

No matter how many times you watch it, you can't help but be amazed by its superb skills and profound background.

There is a reason why he is called the number one.

The last step was to suture and bandage the wound, and these tasks were taken over by Kobayashi.

With the [God's Hand], he was very good at this, and he sutured the wound perfectly in a few seconds. At the same time, he used healing magic when wrapping the bandage to speed up the healing of the wound.

"Beautiful!"

Kimberly, who was watching, showed an expression of amazement from the bottom of her heart and praised: "You two are really perfect cooperation. In this way, the automaton can survive."

"Not necessarily, maybe it's impossible."

"... What a surprising answer."

"After all, the internal organs are already a mess. If the heart (magic circuit) becomes like that, I can't do anything."

This answer made people feel depressed.

Such outstanding skills and techniques can't save it...

"No, it's enough."

Kobayashi interrupted, making everyone turn their eyes to him.

"I have used magic to restore the rabbi's internal organs, and Miss Glass doesn't need to do carpentry and carve oak to repair the damaged parts."

"...What did you say."

Hanayusai Glass narrowed her eyes slightly.

Subconsciously, she wanted to take a puff of the pipe, but found that she had extinguished it in advance because it was in the infirmary.

Kobayashi smiled and didn't mean to answer.

The kimono mature woman stared at him, paused for a while and said: "I'll wait for you outside, let's have a good and in-depth discussion (about the reward)."

After that, she twisted her body and left.

After checking the conditions of Rabbi and Frey, Kobayashi stood up and said to them, "Teacher, can you please take care of Frey? I want to have a deep exchange with that mature beauty."

"Ah, what a warm invitation. I am almost jealous to death."

The pervert doctor Krull sighed, and wanted to have a deep exchange with Hanayusai Shoko on behalf of Kobayashi, but the deep exchange he wanted was a little different.

"Is there only yellow waste in your mind?"

Before Kobayashi could speak, Kimberly grabbed his ears and angrily scolded the indecent Krull.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts--"

The pervert doctor took a breath of cold air in pain, and tried hard not to let out a painful howl to avoid affecting Frey and Rabbi who were resting.

In terms of professional ethics, he was qualified.

Walking out of the door, Hanayusai Naoko leaned against the door, and only turned to lead the way after seeing Kobayashi, walking in the corridor with a pace that was incredibly familiar with the surroundings.

Finally, she came to the empty balcony and sat down.

Taking the small box handed over by Iruli, she took out the tobacco, lit it, inhaled, spit, and poured out the ashes.

After finishing the work, Naoko looked very relaxed. Kobayashi, who had worked with her for a short time, knew that she had this habit, but her silence made people feel uncomfortable.

Too depressing.

Was she deliberately using silence to exert pressure so as to take the lead in the next conversation?

Kobayashi raised his eyebrows.

Hanayusai Naoko exhaled smoke and said, "Boy, I have cured the wolfhound. Should we talk about the reward now?"

"Oh, I thought Miss Naoko had received the reward... that little one. Although Miss Naoko's skills are very proficient and exquisite, my eyes can see things that others cannot see. You should not have forgotten it."

Kobayashi also answered with a smile, not losing out at all.

"Hehe——"

Hanayusai Naoko did not hide it and spread her hands openly.

In the palm of her hand, there was a small stone. The small stone with mysterious patterns was the magic circuit.

It was self-evident who it belonged to.

Hanayusai Naoko continued to take the initiative with words and said, "But you have to know that if you don't take it down, the little girl will be at risk of having her magic power sucked away by force."

"That's why I took this magic circuit as a reward. This should be what you need. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so kind to help Frey's automatic puppet Rabbi repair." Kobayashi was not to be outdone and revealed her original purpose.

"But it's not enough."

"The magic circuit produced by D-works, Miss Glass has seen its power just now. It's not good to be too greedy."

"Then I'll put it back."

"…………"

The two looked at each other.

Hanayaki Shoko's eyes revealed seriousness, as if she would really do it if the reward was not increased.

"Okay, okay, I give up." Kobayashi raised his hand to surrender, and asked in a very relaxed tone: "I wonder what kind of reward Miss Glass needs, if I can satisfy it."

"You ask even though you know it."

"I'm the kind of person who doesn't understand unless you explain it clearly."

"——Magic."

"Ah, that..."

"Don't try to make excuses. You just deliberately showed magic in front of me, didn't you just want to whet my appetite?"

Hanayaki Shoko seemed to have lost his patience.

Kobayashi wanted to tease her again, but knowing that adult women are like wolves and tigers, he simply handed her the healing magic he had sorted out.

"The thing is here. Whether you can use it on the automaton is none of my business."

"... As expected, you did it on purpose."

Hanayaki Shoko's eyes became more dangerous, and then she looked into the distance and said, "It's really unpleasant."

"Huh?"

Kobayashi raised his head and looked at her.

"I think you should have known, kid, that D Club attended the night party in order to compare [Gamu] and [Angel]."

"Yeah, I heard about it from Yomi."

"But that's a trick. It's just a fabricated excuse to use those two children."

Hanayaki Shoko seemed to have revenge.

Looking directly at Kobayashi, she deliberately said in a bad tone: "D Club's purpose 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, Frey's existence is an experiment-the little girl's heart is assembled with magic circuits! The limbs of the baby seen in the basement are actually [parts]."

Paused for a while, whetting the appetite.

I had hoped to see the boy's excited and angry expression, but he still responded with a blank expression.

"...It seems you already knew it."

"Yeah."

It's not just the two automata that I want to show at the party.

The hearts of Frey and Loki after being transformed are connected to their respective automata, which can exert strength far beyond that of ordinary puppeteers. They can play a huge role on the battlefield, but the price is naturally the death of the puppeteer (Frey).

In other words, Frey is the experimental animal of D Company, including those babies who failed the experiment, but they are just consumables.

"...It's really unpleasant."

Hanayusai Naoko repeated again, pecked the pipe lightly, and said after spitting it out: "Whether it's them or you."

"Me?"

Kobayashi frowned slightly.

"You seem to have known these things for a long time, and you seem to have done something unknown to others in order to change."

"...What do you mean."

"You mock others and treat them as pawns. You are happy that everything is going as you expected, right? Do you think you can do it? Do you think you have done it? Do you look down on others because they don't "see" as far as you do? Do you do what you think is the most reasonable thing and ignore the feelings of others, always thinking that you can solve everything. Brat, remember this-"

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.

"Master Xiaolin..."

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 a shocking 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 am 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 me, I'm too weak...! Actually, it should be me... the one who wants to go on stage... I was too scared... I cried... I was, canceled my role... so... 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 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, other feelings can be ignored."

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.

I see many people say that this chapter is not well written. Please explain. It's like a parent who forcefully puts you on the right track and says it's good for you. The result is indeed good, but the process roughly erases your opinions and thoughts and completely ignores your feelings. Combined with the sense of superiority brought about by the time traveler's ultra-long-distance perspective, it turns into self-righteous arrogance... If you don't see this meaning, it's because my writing is not good, and I am deeply sorry for that.
