[Comprehensive] Akashi Haruo of a certain science

Chapter 34

Jin Mu was silent for a long time, and finally told Qingshi everything that happened to him these days.

Accompanied by the soft narration, the listener remained quite calm from the beginning to the end. She narrowed her eyes slightly, stretched her eyebrows, and rested her fingertips casually on her loose long hair, because her concentrated thinking showed a unique silence. beauty.

Including meeting the lady in the coffee shop, showing her fierce face on the way to send her home, being rescued by the steel thrown from the high mouth at the moment of life and death, and being transferred into the organ of the lady when her life was hanging by a thread. Continue to live... tell me everything.

But while [continuing his life], he also lost his qualifications as a [person].

"Jin Mu-jun, what do you plan to do in the future?" Qingshi went straight, she raised her head, met Jin Mu's blank eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Simply put——Jin Mu-jun wants to continue living with such an [inhuman] body, Or self-exile?"

Jin Mu smiled self-deprecatingly, "I am like this now, it is not much different from [death]."

"Forgive me for not agreeing with such a statement." While speaking, Qingshi's eyes fell all the way down to Kaneki's jumping heart. It’s not optimistic, but the Jin Mu-kun who appeared in front of my eyes at this moment is indeed... cut, cut, real, real, real—[alive].”

"I also know that it is not necessarily [lucky] to be alive. Even sometimes, [living] is much harder than [dead], but if you are not [living], you have no way of feeling. So... "

Qingshi paused, "If possible, I hope Jin Mu-jun will not give up so early."

In exchange for such righteous words, Kaneki laughed more and more clearly, he covered his eyes with his hands behind his back, "Is that so?"

"I know what Miss Akashi said, but I can't help it..." His panting gradually became cloudy, and he couldn't even raise his voice consciously, "I can't swallow human food. When hunger comes, I will feel like losing Just like a rational beast, I can't bite everyone I meet, just like just now-that person may be my classmate, it may be my friend... I am biting them, I am swallowing them, I am eating them. kill them..."

"And they were calling my name while being hurt by me, trying to wake me up, trying to make me let them go, trying to turn me into me...but by that time, [I] should have nothing I don't know...it can't be helped."

Kaneki tried his best to calm down his voice, but the vague cry still exposed him, "So there is no way to do it. Like this...Miss Akashi, you must not understand?"[1]

"Well, I don't understand."

Qingshi turned a blind eye to Jinmu's pitiful face, she brushed her long hair and responded softly, and said unhurriedly, "To be more precise, I can't agree with it, because for me, there is nothing more important than [surviving] Important thing. Here I can say without shame, even if Jin Mu-kun’s incident happened to me today, no matter how embarrassing it is, I will swallow the meat of the same kind without hesitation—live!”

"It's just a slight deviation in the food chain. It's not a big deal, is it?"

Just like some animals eat herbivores, some animals eat meat, and the carnivores feed on the herbivores again - the weak and the strong.The strong are respected, this is an eternal law of nature.

Now there is only one more thing about devouring the same kind, but hasn't human beings been doing this [cannibalism] since ancient times?

—So...it's not a big deal at all.

These bold and absolute words made Kaneki raise his head to look at Qingshi unconsciously. The girl confined in this simple room seemed to be shining brightly from head to toe, too dazzling to look directly at.

As if she hadn't realized what was wrong with her sophistical remarks, there were countless lights in her strange eyes, and her tone became harsh in an instant, "Everyone's life doesn't come out of thin air, So we should be more grateful to show him weakness and treasure, Jin Mu-kun just give up the life bestowed by [mother]...wouldn't it be too rude?"

——For my mother... I would do anything.

——Whether it's turning into a monster, or violating the principles... I will never allow myself to fall before my mother.

This almost interrogative tone made Kaneki at a loss for a while, "Miss Akashi, I am not..."

"Really? But... it doesn't matter now."

Qingshi smiled, and her golden eyes were lit up at the same time, bewitching others to go deep into it.

"Jin Mu-kun's life, if Jin Mu-kun doesn't want it..." She stretched out her hand towards Jin Mu and invited in a seductive tone, "Do you mind giving it to me (to control)? ——I will definitely cherish it to the utmost."

Kaneki unconsciously raised his hand, trying to put it into Qingshi's palm bit by bit, the girl's smile deepened, and she supplemented very earnestly.

"So, please be sure to allow me to... [raise] you——Yan, Jun."

The moment his fingertips were about to touch the ground, Jin Mu quickly withdrew his hand and pulled it out of the trap at the nick of time, his eyes were still dazed after being absent-minded.

"Miss Akashi...? Just said..." He paused for a while before retrieving his memory, "Miss Akashi, it's not that I don't respect the life my mother gave me, it's just...that's [cannibalism], It's against human ethics—”

Kaneki's memory finally stays where Qingshi mentioned "mother".

Actually... failed?

The short-sighted ability is only maintained at the stage of simple instructions. It is really too much to achieve this level (to win over people's hearts), or is it because of that person's firm will?

Sure enough, you shouldn't pay too much attention to this, it can only be regarded as icing on the cake, and it is far from enough to rely on this kind of thing to achieve your goal.

But no matter what the ending is, I want to [hold (have)] this kind of you more and more... Jin Mu-jun.

Suddenly, Qingshi burst out laughing, and at the same time, she also calmly suppressed the strange brilliance in her golden eyes, and said in her usual tone, "It's so cute, I didn't expect... Jin Mu-jun actually took my words like that seriously."

Kaneki was stunned, "Miss Akashi just said..."... Are you just kidding me?

——If you are in such a hurry, don't make jokes, okay? ! !

After using [mother's] nurturing grace to bring back Jinmu's idea of ​​survival, Qingshi didn't want to get too entangled in this issue.Recalling the anecdotes that [teacher] had mentioned to him before, Qingshi's eyes fell on Kaneki.

She thought deeply and said, "According to Jin Mu-jun's previous description, the coffee shop where Jin Mu-jun and that lady met is very suspicious. With our current strength... let's avoid it for now."

If I accidentally let Jin Mu-jun merge with the same kind, wouldn't I become a super existence? —want to take [my] things away?Such a thing... I absolutely, absolutely cannot allow it to happen!

"If there is anything else... Mr. Jin Mu can think about what that person ate when he was talking to you. You can try to be normal, maybe the taste is not that good-even the vampires can drink food other than blood, Knowledge is not as delicious as blood, but it is not too unbearable. Besides... If there is really no other way—"

Qingshi's eyes darkened, "Jin Mu-jun, I may have a way to help you get [legal] human flesh - not by [killing], but legal [meat] obtained through [natural cultivation], so maybe It can temporarily relieve your hunger problem."

Kaneki had seen Qingshi's frighteningly strong adaptability before, but at the moment when the other party was talking to him about food intake, Kaneki still couldn't help being speechless.

He didn't expect that Akashi-san, who was the victim, would accept this faster than him, and the other party directly jumped to how to temporarily relieve hunger, but...

Kaneki's voice trembled, "That, that kind of thing..."

"Is there no way to accept it?" Qingshi helped Jinmu finish the second half of the sentence, "It's a bit forced, but even if it's difficult for others, I still hope that Jinmu-kun can maintain his rationality first, and then we can better discuss what to do. Solve the problem at hand. And if that person really exists..."

Qingshi kept her gaze on Jinmu, "It's not impossible to restore Jinmu-kun to his original state."

"Miss Akashi, are you saying..." Kaneki raised his outstretched hands tremblingly, he lowered his head, as if trying to hide his overly fluctuating emotions at the moment, "I still have the possibility of becoming... [human]... again? "

Qingshi nodded, with a calm and unconvincing expression, "Didn't Jin Mu-kun become like this because of the transplantation of the internal organs of that young lady? If, if you can convert those [inhuman] The internal organs are taken out and turned into [human] internal organs... Maybe Kaneki-kun can change back to his original appearance. But there is also a great risk in doing so..."

"As long as I can become a human again, no matter what price I pay - I'm willing to accept it!" Kaneki swore impatiently.

Qingshi raised her eyebrows, smiled slightly and said a horrible guess, "Is this so? If the operation fails, I will never see Jin Mu-kun again, and I will be sad for a long time. Maybe I am a little lucky One point, the operation went smoothly all the way, but after the end, Jin Mu-jun mutated into a more terrifying and unknown [monster]—”

Kaneki, who had a little sense of Qingshi's temperament, also hooked the corners of his lips and smiled, "Don't scare me anymore, Miss Akashi." His gaze suddenly became distant, and he passed through Qingshi without knowing where it fell, "It's already There's nothing worse than this..."

Qingshi was noncommittal, and just talked about the story she heard from the teacher, "The doctor's medical skills are very good. She once rescued a girl who was crushed by a car accident, but her body was completely damaged except for her head. There was no way to use it, so when the girl woke up, she found that her head had turned into [worms].”

Kaneki's face turned pale, "Miss Akashi, are you joking?"

Qingshi smiled and cast a rhetorical look at Jinmu, "Since she is a worm, she can transform into a butterfly. The girl who loves beauty finally got a more beautiful body than before. During the whole treatment process, there was an ugly girl who was rejected by her earlier. The young man has been encouraging her. By the way, the chance of the girl being rescued was also begged by the young man. After the young girl's body recovered, the young man wanted to leave silently—as long as she changed back, he knew clearly that he was not worthy of her. .”

"and then?"

Qingshi's description wasn't wonderful, but the story was too bizarre and terrifying, so Kaneki was still brought in.

Qingshi showed a rather sweet smile, "The girl accepted the boy on her own initiative, and they are together, becoming one."

The word "two into one" was used a bit ambiguously, Kaneki lowered his head to cover the blush at the base of his ears, and patted his chest in relief, "Isn't that good?"

"Is it really good?" Qingshi tilted her head, the corners of her lips were still raised, but she was innocently puzzled, "In the end, the boy was [destroyed into the belly] by a girl with butterfly wings... yes Is such an ending good for Jin Mu-kun?"

Kaneki was taken aback, and it was too late for the three views to stick together, "Yes, is this a combination of two? But..." He seemed to be stumped by such an illogical ending, frowned deeply, and asked, "Why does the girl want to Do something like this?"

"Because she's a [worm]." Qingshi seemed much calmer.

At that time, when the doctor with excellent medical skills was mentioned, the teacher told her the story. Qingshi, who was only in the fifth grade of elementary school at that time, just frowned, and after a little thought, she figured out the meaning of the girl's behavior .

Her voice was as light as drizzle, "The reason why insects become metamorphosis is ultimately for the purpose of mating and laying eggs, and even some races will risk their lives in the process. So whether it is accepting a show of love, or progressing to The last step—what she wants is to cannibalize her spouse into nutrients for the next generation, so she will be eaten... Isn't it a matter of course?" [2]

"I will never [eat] Miss Akashi!"

Kaneki suddenly said loudly, when he saw Qingshi looking over with a half-smile, he couldn't help but blushed again, lowered his head and squeezed it very strongly, and said, "If Miss Akashi disagrees... Then I don’t have to do the surgery to turn back into a [human], as long as, as long as it allows me to eat something other than [human flesh]. That’s right——if Miss Akashi doesn’t like it!”

He repeated it at last, as if with some great resolution.

It was noticed from the beginning.

Knowing that it is very dangerous, Ms. Akashi still can't help approaching, this kind of approach... It's not just a relationship between friends, I know it all... There are many things hidden under those dark eyes that I can't see.

Including the brief loss of consciousness before, not letting me go to the coffee shop to search for evidence, and then telling that somewhat scary story...

I can feel that Akashi-san has a deep interest in the current [me], and even has a feeling that she won't let me go unless she dissects the whole [me] and studies it thoroughly.

I know, but it's okay...

--Great.

Even if I cheat like this, the feeling of being cared for is wonderful, because I am being cared for tenderly, and I am desperately needed... I like to see myself appearing like this in Miss Akashi's eyes and in everyone's eyes look.

——That is the proof of my existence.

The deep emotion in Kaneki's eyes receded, "Anyway... Miss Akashi told me these things. Without Miss Akashi... I wouldn't be here at all." Kaneki, who had made such a big step back by himself, comforted him. Ji Asaharu smiled shyly and warmly, "It's good to make Ms. Akashi happy—anyway, it's great to know Ms. Akashi."

Kaneki's delicate eyebrows were deeply arched, and his bright smile instantly filled the entire small house irresistibly. He exuded a soft and indulgent feeling that is rare in men, but it would not make people feel feminine.Then, he bowed slightly—

"Thank you very much, Miss Akashi."

Qingshi's heart trembled, as if being pricked by a small thorn, she trembled involuntarily, but more than fear was the comfort she couldn't bear.She pursed her lips slightly, as if she was resisting the emotion that overwhelmed her, but finally she closed her eyes and gave up.

"What..." Her voice was no longer as gentle as before, but a bit cold and resentful, "It is obvious that I have not had time to do anything, and you have directly positioned me as a tyrant..."

"Hey~ Kaneki-kun. I've been very concerned since I heard you mention it..."

Jin Mu raised his head upon hearing the sound, and met Qing Shi's deep and swamp-like eyes, who was still speaking slowly and coquettishly in an indifferent tone.

"Why does Kaneki-kun call the woman he met for the first time [Miss Rishi] intimately, but...he always uses [Miss Akashi] instead of [Miss Akashi] to me who is already a friend? This name can be used by many people, right? .”

Jin Mu was taken aback, then smiled, "I'm sorry, I won't get confused next time."

"——It's...Miss Qingshi."
