I don't want to be an elf!

During this month, Kikunojo Tendo did not send any more assassins, seemingly having become thoroughly wary of Nia Honjo's strength and the possible forces behind her.

Therefore, she had almost nothing else to do besides drawing comics.

Elder Matsuzaki is in charge of managing the shelter.

Thanks to his and the other cursed children's tireless efforts, more and more homeless cursed children joined the shelter and lived a life free from hunger, cold and sickness.

The asylum also welcomed some adults who did not hate the cursed children.

Teachers, doctors, and others who wanted to do their part for these poor children spontaneously came to the shelter after hearing about its establishment.

Everything was thriving.

The two sides are very satisfied with the current situation.

The requirement for side mission three is that the more Cursed Children you contain, the higher your final rating will be. And now there are more than fifty Cursed Children in the containment facility, so the final rating should not be low.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the Holy Emperor went to Osaka to meet with the leaders of Osaka.

However, Nia Honjo did not try to interfere, but let things develop according to the original story, making Rentaro Satomi her bodyguard.

Just as she had anticipated, after the Holy Emperor returned from the Osaka region and was assassinated, he once again became acutely aware of the dire situation of internal and external troubles.

With no help and surrounded by enemies, she unsurprisingly managed to contact Nia Honjo.

Thus, the two of them, without informing Kikunojo Tendo, officially established a cooperative relationship.

Using the ability of the whispered verses, Nia Honjo compiled three lists.

A list of clean government officials and a list of corrupt officials.

In addition, she even used the proclamation book to find several talented people in Tokyo who were capable of working in the government, and after compiling a list, she also handed it over to the Holy Emperor.

Whether it's through bribery, reasoning, or three visits to Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage, as long as the Holy Emperor holds these people in his hands, he can cultivate his own power.

The Holy Emperor expressed his deep gratitude for this.

The first side mission requires Nia Honjo to become the Emperor's behind-the-scenes advisor and purge the high-ranking officials of the Tokyo area government.

At this point, side quest one is half complete.

In return for the favor, Honjo Nia asked the Holy Emperor to intervene and try to recruit Susatsu Sei.

When the Holy Emperor saw this, he thought it was no big deal. He sent a letter to the company where Shou Xia Shi worked, and the company boss then sent a bewildered Shou Xia Shi to Honjo Nia.

Nia Honjo has been eyeing this little guy for a long time.

Elder Matsuzaki could be the person in charge, Hina Shiraishi could be the leader of the children, Kohina Hiruko could be the gatekeeper, and Nibelko could be a tool...

Isn't there still one person missing for logistics work?

So Shou Xia Shi was assigned to work as a financial secretary at the shelter.

Everything is going according to plan.

A month later, sitting on the company sofa, Honjou Nia put down the newspaper in her hand and looked at Satomi Rentaro, who was doing his homework next to her.

Side quest one and side quest three have already begun in an orderly manner.

After spending this time together, she and Rentaro Satomi had developed a mutual trust.

Shouldn't we start the second side quest?

Honjou Nia cleared her throat and said, "Ah, ah, ah, I really want to meet the Four Sages."

Rentaro Satomi looked up, but said nothing and continued doing his homework.

"It would be great if someone could introduce me to the Four Sages. I have urgent business with them."

Rentaro Satomi sighed, but said nothing.

"Ideally, it would be the one named Sumire Muroto. The other four sages are too far away, and I don't want to take a plane."

This time, Rentaro Satomi ignored everything else and focused solely on studying the classics.

Seeing that this guy was pretending to be dead, Nia Honjou stood up, walked to his side, and shouted, "Does anyone know Sumire Muroto? If you have time, please take me to meet her."

Rentaro Satomi raised his dead fish eyes: "There are only the two of us in the company now. If you want me to take you to see Sumire Muroto, just say so. Why beat around the bush?"

"Oh my, young man, you actually know about Sumire Muroto? What a coincidence!" Nia Honjou exclaimed with delight. "Would you still be willing to take me to meet Sumire Muroto? Waaah, you're so kind, young man."

Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Rentaro Satomi asked, "Aren't you omniscient? Why don't you just go see her yourself?"

"That depends on whether she's willing to see me. Isn't Sumire Muroto a shut-in? She doesn't see anyone except you."

"Who gives you the right to call someone a shut-in! You shut-in!"

"So what if I'm an otaku? Did an otaku eat a single grain of your rice? You lolicon!"

"I'm not a lolicon!" Rentaro Satomi argued. "Besides, the person I like is Kisaragi!"

"Not only did you win over Enju, but you also kidnapped the blonde little girl Tina-chan from abroad when you went to be the Holy Emperor's bodyguard last time. Suspect Rentaro Satomi, what else do you have to say?" Nia Honjou said seriously. "If you have nothing, then go and eat the same bowl of prison food as Lord Yaichi!"

"It's not my fault they like me! I'm just trying to please kids!" Rentaro Satomi argued, his face flushed. "And who is Master Yaichi? Don't suddenly bring up people I don't even know!"

"Haha, I'm getting anxious."

Nia Honjo laughed heartily, then patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Back to the point, so would you be willing to take me to see Sumire?"

"Jinjin? You've never even met her, why are you calling her so affectionately!"

Rentaro Satomi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He rubbed his temples, which were starting to throb, and sighed before asking, "What exactly do you want to see her about?"

"What else could I possibly want with a scientist who has achieved such high attainments in Gastrulation research? A romantic relationship?" Nia Honjou smiled mysteriously. "Of course, it's for serious business."

"Serious business? What serious business is it? Can you stop being a riddle?" Rentaro Satomi continued to ask with a hint of doubt. "Dr. Muroto is willing to see me because she trusts me. You'd better be able to come up with a compelling reason, otherwise even if I take you there, she won't see you."

"You know my ability is omniscience and omnipotence... at least most of the time, right?"

"Although I don't fully believe it yet, please continue."

"So one day I had a sudden inspiration and tried to use my abilities to find a formula that could completely eliminate the Gastrea virus in the bodies of the cursed children."

Nia Honjo's tone was relaxed, as if she were talking about some trivial family matters.

But Rentaro Satomi, who was listening, was struck dumb and looked up at the unreliable old lady.

"guess what?"

Honjo Nia said with a grin.

"I actually found the formula for the blocking agent."

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Wise Men and Fools

A blocking formula that can eliminate gastritis in the bodies of cursed children.

Upon hearing this word, Rentaro Satomi's breathing intensified instantly, and his eyes turned red.

It's not an inhibitory formula, it's not a relieving formula, it's a blocking formula.

The former already exists in this world.

Thanks to the improvements and innovations of countless scientists, erosion rate inhibitors have become a mature technology and have shown significant effects on the Cursed Children.

However, its drawbacks are also quite obvious.

First, it's too expensive; second, it can only suppress [the problem].

One of the reasons why Rentaro Satomi was unable to save money and lived a poor life every month was that he had to buy inhibitors for Enju Aihara every month.

If Nia Honjou didn't misuse her words, she meant that she possessed a formula capable of completely stopping the rate of erosion, or even returning it to zero.

If Rentaro Satomi had heard this from someone else, he would definitely have labeled that person a liar.

However, this second one is different.

Rentaro Satomi knew about her abilities and had witnessed them firsthand.

If she were to use her omniscient abilities, she might actually be able to find a way to stop the erosion rate.

If what she said is true, then this is absolutely a revolutionary formula that could greatly improve the social status of the cursed children.

Ultimately, the reason why humans oppress the cursed children is nothing more than the gastritis within their bodies.

Once the erosion rate reaches fifty percent, no matter how intelligent, gentle, kind, or lovely they are, they will all turn into man-eating monsters.

Even if they don't use their abilities, the rate of erosion will still increase, just at a slower pace.

The presence of the blocker will cause the gastritis virus in the cursed child's body to become inactive and completely stop.

This will be a discovery that leads to a new wave in society.

Rentaro Satomi had no reason to refuse Nia Honjo's request to meet Sumire Muroto.

Upon learning that she possessed such an amazing drug formula, he immediately took her to the most advanced hospital in the Tokyo area.

Upon entering the hospital, they arrived at a secluded ward. Rentaro Satomi and Nia Honjo went down the stairs and came to a locked basement.

"Don't move anything once you're inside."

After giving a reminder, Rentaro Satomi took out his key, opened the door, and went inside.

In the dimly lit basement, the incandescent light bulbs on the ceiling were covered with dust and cobwebs, various odds and ends were piled up haphazardly in the corners, and heavy books and notebooks were placed on the table.

A faint smell of decay permeated the air, making people feel depressed.

You can even see deformed organs soaking in containers placed throughout the house, just like plants that decorate a normal home.

If you live in a place like this for a long time, your mind might start to go strange.

The person who created this environment is absolutely an eccentric and outrageous individual.

And that's exactly what happened.

When Ayn Rand, one of the Four Sages, called Sumire Muroto a "pervert," it wasn't just an insult, but the truth.

Beside the operating table, a mature woman in a white coat dissected a corpse. After hearing the sound of the door lock opening, she turned around.

"Oh, isn't this Rentaro?"

Sumire Muroto put down her scalpel, a slight smile appearing on her previously gloomy face.

When he saw Nia Honjo behind Rentaro Satomi, he raised an eyebrow slightly and gave her a scrutinizing look.
