Chapter 53

Starting today, there will be two updates a day, continuing until the second day of the New Year (because my holiday only lasts until the second day of the New Year, otl).

--------------------------------------------

"Is the wound healed?"

The first to run up and break away from the trio was Eve. Upon seeing this scene, Chao Lingyin, who was in a position where Levi could clearly see her, made an exaggerated expression of sudden realization.

Was she teasing? Levi decided to try his best not to let his gaze meet the girl with the two small buns on her head, to prevent the situation where the rescued person repays the rescuer with punishment.

"It's healed, couldn't be better. I can't even tell it's artificial; it feels like it grew naturally."

Levi pulled his right arm, which Eve had been pinching, and moved it around. Although the feeling of the girl's small hands touching him was quite pleasant, even to the point where he, who had never received a professional massage, deemed Eve's hands more skilled than a professional masseuse. However, considering Chao Lingyin was present, he didn't want to give her more ammunition, so he reluctantly chose to forgo the girl's tenderness. As for Yewen, with a century of shared bond, was there any need to fear any misunderstanding?

"Hmm? Really? It feels completely different from Chacha丸. Hey!

Did you cut corners on Chacha丸?"

This time it was Yewen's turn. The petite girl squeezed past Eve, and her small hands, moving without much control, could already be considered a harmful move like 'twisting.'

I should really get her to take a massage training course. Levi held Yewen's small hands.

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who, in Yewen's eyes, greedily seeks money and tries to cheat for funds at work, but then immediately flirts and pleases handsome guys? That really hurts, ugh."

Anyone familiar with Chao Lingyin wouldn't care about her boring, vulgar acting. Levi had already decided to ignore her, while Yewen automatically filtered out the previous statement, focusing on the main point: "I didn't cut corners on Chacha丸."

"No, no, that's not what Yewen meant."

Levi had forgotten Eve was still there. He looked at her helplessly, released Yewen's hand, and held the girl who was trying to mediate.

"She didn't mean that either. Just ignore what this guy says. If you really want to know, I can translate for you."

However, Levi was very pleased with Eve's performance. Perhaps the environment really can change a person. In just a few days in this world, Eve had changed more than she had in the long years she spent in space.

He had heard similar phrases many times: "The Golden Darkness has no human emotions, only mechanical killing."

But Levi had never thought that the girl's change might not come from the environment.

"Even Teacher Levi says so!"

Chao Lingyin was still enjoying her acting, but someone couldn't stand it anymore.

"Stop! Just give a brief account of what happened."

At that moment, the usual lazy aura that Yewen always carried was completely gone. She was silent, yet exuded an irresistible pressure.

Fortunately, Chao Lingyin, who had been her classmate and partner for over a year, was already used to it.

"I already told him. There was no treatment. The hand grew back on its own. If I had that kind of technology, I would have already replaced Chacha丸's body to make it like a normal human's."

At the end, the girl seemed a bit resentful, probably because Chacha丸 still showed differences from humans, which was a significant regret for her. Scientists always hope their work is flawless, much like artists.

"Grew back on its own? Are you talking about me?"

This topic made it impossible for Levi to continue ignoring it. How many patients, before the doctor explains their condition, would say, "Forget it, let me go home"? That's the line of someone with a terminal illness, ready to enjoy the rest of their life.

"Yes, just like a gecko's tail. I hadn't decided on a treatment method, and your hand just popped out! It's so interesting; I've never seen this in a human before. What's the reason? Were you modified? Implanted with something? Or are you not human at all?

No, if you weren't human, the test results wouldn't differ so much as to exceed the species range. What's the principle? It's all your fault for waking up so quickly. If you had stayed unconscious, it would have been... better, um, I mean, that would have been terrible."

Once she started talking about Levi's unusual condition, Chao Lingyin's mouth seemed to be under a speed spell, spewing out 152 words at a rate comparable to an MG-42 machine gun, into the ears of the other three present.

Due to the speed, she almost blurted out something she shouldn't have. Fortunately, she noticed the cold light in Yewen's eyes, wiped her sweat, and managed to pull back.

Glaring at the bun-headed classmate who had spoken out of turn, Yewen felt that the changes in Levi's body were more important. Mentioning regenerative abilities, that was her specialty. Vampires were always powerful and elegant undead beings, and her seamless regenerative ability was far superior to the muscle twitching of a Berserker, which looked like it had been over-dosed with growth drugs.

"Regeneration? I don't remember turning you into a vampire."

The issue was, although she often treated Levi's blood as a dessert, after learning that Levi also had an ancient life, the idea of turning him into a fellow and keeping him by her side gradually faded. When she occasionally thought about it, it quickly faded in her leisurely life.

"Don't look at me; I'm just as confused."

Seeing everyone turn their gaze to him, Levi quickly waved his hands. Even he found Chao Lingyin's words hard to believe, but this classmate of Yewen's, despite some issues with her ethics, was quite trustworthy. Levi believed she wouldn't make such an easily exposed joke.

"You were once injured, losing a limb, but that time it was a clean cut from a sharp weapon, and you received special treatment immediately. According to my sources, you haven't had any similar severe injuries since then."

Eve's "you from the past" probably referred to someone named Torre, but there was no time to debate that now. As for after meeting her, Levi indeed hadn't suffered such severe injuries until the period when he was separated from Yewen...

During that period, apart from the vague and unverifiable accounts from Al, Levi's memory contained no trace of it, making it impossible to use as a reference.

Although he had heard that Levi had suffered injuries severe enough to kill him a hundred times—according to Al.

"If you're willing..."

"I'm not!"

Perhaps seeing everyone's confusion about the healing, Chao Lingyin seized the opportunity to speak. Levi, being a perceptive killer, didn't give her a chance to make unreasonable demands.

"Since it's already healed, we can discuss the reason later. Let's go home first."

Yewen, who had a similar ability, wasn't as puzzled as the others. She quickly pulled herself out of her thoughts and held Levi and Eve's hands, saying,

"Sure, let's go back. Rest a bit, and it's time to go to work."

Levi stretched, having lain in bed for so long, even in a coma, his spine felt a bit uncomfortable. Just as he was about to get up, he noticed Eve hadn't moved.

"Eve?"

Hearing Levi call her, the girl walked over with an unusual, hurried movement. Following her gaze, he could see a pile of documents that Chao Lingyin had casually thrown on the table.

Eve, who was known for her literary prowess, similar to Nagato Yuki, didn't seem out of place. If Levi had taken a closer look at the pile of documents, he might have noticed the term "nanomachines" in the messy handwriting, a term that should not be overlooked.
