For You This World I'll Destroy

The White Snake Gremory (3)

— 31 —

The arrow of light shot out right in the middle of its target, followed by arrow after arrow after arrow. The nurse judging my performance in panic stopped me immediately and said,

"C-Enough, Lady Chrysant, if you go on we can get our diagnostic tool damaged."

"O-Oh, I'm sorry, I was daydreaming until I didn't realize" I sent down the bow that the hospital lent me.

"Even when daydreaming, your sense of ability is amazing. Quickly within 3 years of being a Hunter, your career immediately startled to become Pathfinder," praised the Nurse while writing on my medical record.

... become a Pathfinder yes. I should have been a little happy to hear that. But. ever since my meeting with Liam just now, my heart is raging.

"Three more months, the Black Company will raid the White Order headquarters. This is a dangerous mission and all the Knights and Hunters must follow it," Liam said in the kitchen of Seraphina's apartment, refusing to drink the coffee I made for her this morning.

"Three months...?  It coincided with Brother's wedding" said I who glanced at Seraphina who was still fast asleep in her room.

"Yes, but I have submitted a proposal approved by the Black Company parliament. Before the big mission, we will send out an expedition to survey the area" said Liam, who also gave me a familiar gold hulungan,

"If you wish, I can include you and Saber in the expedition team. If you successfully complete the mission, the Black Company will grant you and Seraphina special permission not to take part in the raid."

The offer is interesting. In other words, Liam gave me a choice. If I don't follow that mission, Seraphina's marriage will be annulled. Not to mention, the raid of the White Order headquarters was a very risky mission. It's possible that on that mission, Saber and I could fall.

But on the other hand, by following the survey team, I was able to prevent all of that from happening. It's just, what kind of bad feeling is raging in my chest? The survey mission should be easy to do but...is it that simple? Why of all the Pathfinders, Liam chose me?

"...sant... Lady Chrysant, oiii?"

"U-Uwaah! " my chirps were shocked to see a nurse calling me in the waiting room. Laughs at the nurse.

"Jeez, Lady Chrysant was thinking what else. What about Prince Arthur and Princess Nuwa's recent engagement?" said the nurse who turned to the TV broadcast, which showed Arthur and Nuwa exchanging rings on the official show.

"Well, they're very compatible. Princess Nuwa is not only beautiful and charming, but also smart and talented. Together with the Prince, he dismantled a huge mattress of corruption that almost endangered many people at the Festival Mentari Terbit.

More suitable than the installment girl who always comes back full of wounds, right?"

"U-ugh, I've told you many times. The rumors about me and the Prince are fake. The two of us have nothing to do," I said, who shortly afterwards felt the void that had struck the chest.

The Nurse laughed, "Sure, sure, every check-up, Lady Chrysant always said that. But what you say doesn't mean what you feel, does it?"

"N-nyebelin, ih. I'm Amanda, tell me, when it's my turn to get in the poly!" my reproach.

"Oh, now,"

"... I didn't say it."

"Well, Lady daydreams until she doesn't hear the call, hihihi."

After being satisfied with me, Ms. Amanda also led me into the poly room. A bushy aroma of tea greeted me, accompanied by a cryptic classic song that calms the soul. The shades of white greeted me with a touch of sweet greenery in the eyes. Of all poly, indeed the room of the doctor Rizal is most comfortable in the eye.

"Please enter..."

... Wait, the voice of doctor Rizal is so feminine. I swallowed my mouth and peeked behind the closet. I found a pale blue haired girl reading an article in her tab. His trbal glasses shot up to his nose, but added to the elegant impression of the doctor. Weakly gulped his hands, raised a cup of tea and inserted it perfectly.

Sh-shit, why is Nuwa here?

"U-uh, Miss Amanda, today Chrysant is not so check up," I whispered, but unfortunately Miss Amanda idly pushed me in front of Princess Nuwa.

"Doctor, the patient has come, if anything, the doctor just call me in front yes," said Ms. Amanda who forced me to sit in front of the doctor's desk.

"OK, thank you, ma'am" said Princess Nuwa who also turned to me and immediately glared. A stiff smile was curled on his face, where in as professional a tone as possible, Nuwa greeted me with,

"Whether healthy people come here, hmm? Ah, maybe Lady's lost huh. Then, there, the exit awaits Lady."

U-oh, the sarcasm is so spicy.

"Hahahaha, waduh, who does Lady mean? All I know is that there's a prank hamster coming into the Blue Tower. Fortunately the hamster was useful enough to buy time, so I was able to capture the enemy of the Black Company perfectly.

Ah too bad, the hamster turned out to be quite stubborn as well."

"Bas based on a cunning white snake!"

"If I'm a snake, then you want me to 'lep' all here?"

Ms. Amanda cleared her throat and realized we were still in the hospital.

Princess Nuwa sighed and opened my medical record, "Post-ranap control right... Hmm, let's see... Haa?" his murmurs were shocked.

"Leukocytes 1 million, erythrocytes 5 million, platelets 1 billion? I-this is not polycythemia vera anymore, but your blood is like a mud kentel" he continued who read the results of my other examination.

"M-M-Magical SSS output rank? Wait, this parameter is. No, it's impossible. You're the most junior Pathfinder, right? Why is your magic parameter equivalent to Lady Nadja?” nuwa.

I don't understand what Nuwa is talking about, but the point is I'm great, right? Heh, it feels so satisfied to see that the snake was surprised to see my incredible potential.

“Please your clothes,” said Nuwa suddenly.

“He?”

Freelance…? Ha?! Immediately I crawled away and hugged myself, terrified to see the perverted Princess who wanted to strip me of it.

“No want!” my yelling.

Nuwa pinched her forehead, “Why do you make me like a pervert anyway. I mean, lay in bed so I can check on you. You want to go home quickly, right?” ask Nuwa.

Doubtful, I followed the strange doctor's orders. I opened one by one the buttons on my shirt and lay down on the bed. Nuwa gently examined my chest and nails, then placed her stethoscope on my heart. Surprised himself to attach his stethoscope to the various corners of my chest.

“No...”

“Uuuhh... If the Princess is looking for my heart rate, it is not there,” I said awkwardly.

“Ha, what do you mean? How can any human being live without a heart?” princess Nuwa asked confusedly.

I scratched my cheek awkwardly, “... Because, Chrysant is not a human being,” I said who then woke up and looked into Nuwa's shocked eyes.

“... Chrysant was one of the victims of Emillia Fairchild's research. E-Ehem, Battle-type Homunculus, CH003. Reporting to duty,” I said while buttoning my clothes again, “Yeah, I just found out after the expedition. No, I've clearly written it in my report huh?”

“Report…? Wait.. Homunculus Emillia, this magic parameter.... No way, you are a child who ten years ago—” said Nuwa who retreated while holding her face pulling her words, she cleared her throat awkwardly and continued, saying,

“Actually, your entire report falls into the highly classified category. Only the Prince and a few Pathfinders could access it. I also can't access it at all.”

“Really? O-oh, is it because Chrysant's writing is too ambiguous? Duh... really embarrassed,” said I held my reddened cheeks.

Suddenly Nuwa clasped my shoulders tightly, “This is no time for shame! You don't know what's going on with you?”

E-eh, why is he so aggressive? Awkward, I shook my head too.

“You're dying!”

“Masa? Chrysant is healthy like this,” I say soon.

Suddenly my bag fell and a golden scroll from Liam was seen in between. Like seeing a ghost, Nuwa looked deathly pale as she picked up the golden scroll.

“Hey, Rancid Hamster.... Don't tell me, you're going on this mission?”

I raised my eyebrows in wonder, "If I go, what will happen?"
