So I’m still a terminally ill patient who could drop dead at any moment?
“Good morning, Mrs.
Bianca.” Gwyn also waved with a smile to greet her.
“Mhm, good morning.
You look like you’re in good spirits today?” Bianka greeted him with a smile and asked curiously.
Mobius hadn’t given her the details, only saying that Gwyn’s condition had improved and that she was preparing to perform a comprehensive examination herself, asking Bianka to bring him over.
“Yes, thanks to the treatment from everyone at the Institute, my condition has significantly improved.” Gwyn nodded with a smile.
Although his ability to jump around right now was basically entirely due to Little Butterfly’s gift and the System’s ability, he also owed his survival up to this point to the treatment from the First Research Institute.
“Really?” * 2 It wasn’t just Bianka who was surprised; so was Elysia, who was sitting opposite Gwyn.
The surprised pink-haired girl couldn’t care about anything else; she grabbed Gwyn’s arm, rolled up his sleeve, and looked—sure enough, the iconic purple veins were nowhere to be seen, not even a trace!
“This is truly…
a stroke of luck within misfortune…” After carefully examining Gwyn’s arm, which showed no trace of the purple veins but still had patches of needle marks, Bianka let out a long sigh of relief, her face full of emotion.
“It actually really healed!” The uncertainty on her pretty face was replaced by surprise and joy.
Elysia, while carefully stroking Gwyn’s arm and repeatedly checking for any reaction to Honkai Energy, broke into a sweet smile— “That’s great!
Gwyn, you’re okay!” “So, I have to say it’s thanks to all of you; otherwise, I wouldn’t have lived to see this turn of events.” Watching Elysia, who was even more excited than he was, Gwyn stood up with a smile, preparing to follow Bianka for the examination.
As for Elysia, Bianka had originally intended to let her stay in the lounge, but a very excited Elysia simply used a set of incredibly practiced coquettish tactics to tag along.
“Mobius, you’re truly amazing!” Seeing Mobius in her protective suit, Elysia quickly rushed up to her and gave her a big hug— “You actually really cured Gwyn’s honkai sickness!
This is a milestone in humanity’s history of facing the Honkai~!” As someone who had once ended the Second Eruption, Elysia had seen many warriors who didn’t die directly on the battlefield, but rather died of honkai sickness after the war, so she was naturally incredibly excited.
“First, it hasn’t been confirmed that Gwyn’s honkai sickness has been completely cured, and we don’t know if there are any side effects.
Second, even if it is cured, it was just a coincidence— his condition suddenly worsened last night, and I had to take many extreme measures to barely save his life.
The fact that the surface symptoms of the honkai sickness suddenly disappeared is something that still needs to be investigated.” “Finally, let go of me!
If you mess up my protective suit, I’ll have to change it again!” Mobius pushed Elysia away with annoyance and looked at Bianka: “Leave the examination work to me.
Bianka, go observe the progress of the ongoing experiments and keep records.” After Mobius, who had already prepared the equipment, finished instructing Bianka, she turned her gaze to Elysia, who was still looking at her with a smile— “As for you, go back as well— I don’t want to be disturbed while performing the examination.” Mobius was willing to believe that Elysia wouldn’t play double agent just because of a mission from the higher-ups, and besides, Gwyn’s previous value wasn’t worth those people sending Elysia, but everything still needed to be handled with caution— As a veteran of the Flame-Chasers, she only had nominal influence; unless she was willing to risk mutual destruction, she basically had no means of counteraction.
“Then I promise I won’t say anything or do anything, okay?” Elysia wouldn’t have it; she pressed her hands together in front of her chest, ducked her little head, and looked at Mobius with big, blinking eyes, full of expectation.
“No.” Mobius said, straight-faced and unyielding.
“Fine…” Elysia pouted slightly and sighed in disappointment, but immediately, as if changing her face, she looked up with a smile, “Then I’ll wait outside for your good news!” Saying this, she looked at Gwyn with a face full of expectation, “You must complete all the examinations safely~!” “The examination results aren’t up to me; everything depends on the actual results.” Faced with Elysia, who seemed like a child, Gwyn could only smile helplessly.
“That may be true, but one must always have hope, right?” Elysia’s smile was sweet, and her eyes were clear.
“Then I’ll take your kind words.” Gwyn nodded with a smile and followed Mobius through the door.
“Phew…” Elysia walked lightly to the window and stood there, looking at the warm sunlight outside, and whispered— “It will definitely be okay…
definitely!” Gwyn, who didn’t know that Elysia was praying for him, was being lectured by Mobius— “Did she find out?” “The physical characteristics are hard to hide, so I simply didn’t cover them up and just tampered with the aftereffects directly.” Gwyn nodded.
“…Forget it.” Mobius glanced at him sideways but didn’t say much more, just sealing the special pigment on the table— “Forget it, then.
I was planning to use special pigments to help you cover it up later.” “There’s such a thing?” Gwyn was a bit surprised, then stopped Mobius’s action, “There’s no need to give up directly; we can use some later and just say the symptoms recurred.” “Mhm…
take a look at this—” Mobius stopped what she was doing and handed the examination report at hand to Gwyn.
“Is this my examination report?” Although he couldn’t read all the text, the numbers and arrows were very clear, and Gwyn quickly discovered an abnormality— “What are all these similar items on this page?
They are almost all on the high side.” “Those are special items affected by Honkai Energy—” Seeing that Gwyn quickly noticed the key point, Mobius nodded slightly, her gaze solemn— “Simply put, the culprit that caused you to contract honkai sickness— the energy currently internally named Honkai Energy— has not disappeared from your body.” “In other words, the bacteria or virus that caused you to get sick hasn’t changed, but your own resistance has become stronger, so the symptoms of the illness have disappeared.” “So…
I am either experiencing a final burst of energy before death, or I have increased my tolerance to the so-called Honkai Energy for some unknown reason.” Gwyn put down the report and looked at Mobius— “In other words, I am actually still a patient with honkai sickness, and my condition is extremely serious, and I could die from an episode at any time?” “…” Mobius originally wanted to correct his misconception, but looking at the faint smile on Gwyn’s face, she immediately understood what he meant.
The corners of her mouth curled up, but she still shook her head and said— “As long as your resistance to Honkai Energy does not decrease, you will not easily relapse, let alone die suddenly at any moment.
But…
saying it like that is fine too—” At least that’s how it can be written in the records.
