Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

As the leader of the righteous clan, he naturally wouldn't make an exception.

but……

"Speaking of which, does that kid really need over a hundred million in medical fees?" Leila painfully calculated the family's wealth.

Although she was extremely reluctant to pay the fee, the youngest member of the clan had spoken up, leaving her with no choice but to comply. However…

One hundred million fali?

For the entire level 3 Familia, this is also an astronomical figure.

That's enough to buy 200 million potato balls, enough to fill the entire West Street.

Amid froze, and the saintess, unfamiliar with her own business, looked embarrassed. She nervously rubbed her fingers behind her back and stammered:

"Yes...yes, no...that's right. Our prosthetics are the best available, so their value is naturally much higher."

"So, there are also inferior products?" Leila was very perceptive.

"Uh...yes.

"Or perhaps, his injury doesn't actually require a prosthetic leg?"

“A complete repair might require more treatment costs.” Amid spoke much more smoothly this time…

"The old man said that treatment is too troublesome, so it's better to cut it out and be done with it. Plus...it can serve as a living advertisement..."

"It's an evil... evil god!" Ryu was once again shocked by this treatment center.

“That’s…that’s too much! We’re a legitimate medical institution!” Amid immediately retorted, then added hesitantly, “It’s just…a little…the old man said this is a normal business model! Yes, that’s the ‘business model’!”

"However, compared to the physical injuries, I think the patient's mental illness is more serious. I suggest you report this to his God. Having his friends come and take care of him might help with his recovery."

Alexandra looked at Leila: "Um, does this kid have any close friends or family? Like, loved ones, brothers or sisters?"

Laila stroked her chin: "Hmm, in large clans like the Soma Familia, the people who adventure together usually have the best relationships."

"They're all dead."

"..."

No wonder, no wonder you've become so strange. Are you trying to forget your best friend's departure in this way?

Liu thought to herself silently.

On her journey to fight against darkness, she had witnessed similar scenes countless times.

This time... it was because we arrived too late that so many people died, and we almost accidentally killed innocent people.

In the end, I still couldn't do anything.

She bit her lip and secretly resolved that next time, she would never let such a tragedy happen again!

Snapped!

Someone patted my shoulder hard.

Hey! What are you doing?!

Turning her head, she saw Alyssie's radiant smile: "Liang, are you blaming yourself again? Don't be discouraged, didn't we protect Xiao Ge very well? Although it's a bit of a pity, we will definitely make everyone smile again!"

Alexie patted her chest and said, "It's decided. Since our little brother has no friends, let's be his friends. While fighting against darkness, we won't forget to care for the people. Hmph~ That's me for you."

"Yes, Alexie!"

Just as the two idiots were feeling smug, Kaguya placed a list in front of Alisha:

"Hey, before you do something so generous, take a look at this first..."

"Leila ruled out most of the forced and excessive treatments, and while ensuring his basic ability to live a normal life in the future, the cost is still outrageous..."

“The tape, well, Leila was partly to blame, so let’s all return it together. It’ll be quick.” Alexandra took the list, glanced at the numbers, and rolled her eyes.

"2...2000 million Faris? Hey, Lyra, isn't it...better to cash it out?"

Chapter 17: Prison Break?

Back in his hospital room, Charles assessed his current situation.

Dean Kate had already left, and her injuries had been mostly treated. Only the incurable curse on her body required Amid's magic to remove.

"Once the severe injuries are healed, the flesh and blood will be able to recover in a short time, but..."

Charles looked at his almost exposed metacarpal bones. Perhaps because he was a "fragile college student" or because of the numbing effect of alcohol, he did not feel pain. Instead, his brain cells were stimulated, and his thoughts were unusually jumpy.

A bold idea popped into his head.

My magic... has a solution!

These injuries are crucial for perfecting his plan. To maximize the benefits of his current injuries, Charles decides...

"I'm going to escape from prison! No, that's not right, I'm going to escape from the hospital!"

Charles's method only has one chance to succeed; if it fails, his initial development will inevitably be hindered. Like a snowball rolling downhill, a good plan, utilizing all available resources to continuously enrich oneself, is essential to standing out in this turbulent era.

on the other hand……

It must be admitted that the humanity of the Astrea Familia is so dazzling that even Ciel, the fake wine, finds it blinding.

Just standing near them, he almost instinctively wanted to get away.

Even in his past life, when he encountered that guy who always liked to call himself a famous detective, Ciel dared to go up and say a few words, and angrily rub his head. But facing these young girls who put their lives and ideals on 'liberation', Ciel truly couldn't do the same.

Sigh...

Charles looked around. The infirmary was not a prison. There were seven or eight windows side by side on the wall. The evening breeze lifted the curtains, revealing the bright moonlight.

Charles poked his head out.

"Great, no one!"

He held onto the windowsill with one hand, leaped up, and landed easily with his legs slightly bent.

Blood seeped from the wound on his chest, staining the bandages red, but he was already numb. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: This fragile college student is really awesome!

He rushed out of the courtyard along the garden in a few strides, inevitably being spotted by passing nurses who would scream in surprise.

Charles gave an apologetic greeting and disappeared into the silent moonlight.

……

Russian qing.

outside the ward.

Amid, who was discussing future treatment arrangements with the Astrea Familia, heard a gasp from outside the room.

Immediately afterward, a dog-person girl with long brown hair and a pair of dog ears drooping from her head entered the room with a playful expression.

"Oh, Miss Tessanare. To let a patient escape right under your nose, it seems Dean Kate is nearing the end of her road..."

“What are you talking about, Orichis? I don’t recall ever inviting someone from an opposing clan like you into the faction.”

Kaguya was not surprised to see the person who came.

Naza Orihis, a leader of the Mih Familia, a healer family that shares its name with the Deankat Familia.

The 'grudge' between the two clans dates back to the celestial realm, and it has a somewhat love-hate relationship. Because of their similar clan management models, conflicts often erupt.

In the words of the gods, they are business rivals.

What did you mean just now?

"You...don't know yet?" Miss Nazha raised her eyebrows: "Everyone outside is talking about the rumors that the human statues in the laboratory have escaped."

"A human body... a statue?" Amid recalled the plaster casts covered with anatomical depictions of muscles, and imagined it moving, feeling a strong sense of déjà vu.

Three minutes later, having grasped the key point, Amid, her face frosty, violently kicked open the ward door. Looking at the empty room, and then at the gently swaying curtains, she suppressed her murderous intent and spat out through clenched teeth:

"Xia—! Er!~"

Leila leaned against the door, peeking her little head out. Looking at the empty hospital room, only one thought occupied her mind:

"Hey, Alexie. Do we not need to pay for our treatment anymore?"

thump—

Alexie punched Lyra on the head: "No way. This is a serious matter, and little Charles needs to rest. So let's go and bring him back."

"Hey~, but he clearly doesn't want treatment. Besides, Orario is so big, where are we supposed to find him now?"

Kaguya chimed in, "There are still many evils waiting for us to punish; let's not waste our time on people like this."

Alexie scratched her head: "But, didn't Amid say that little brother Charles isn't in a good state right now? What if he hurts someone? Wouldn't we be the ones to blame?"

Liu Xiaoji Zhuomi: "Alissie is right, it's all Laila's fault, we can't let Lady Astrea be smeared."

Kaguya covered her head with her hands, completely lacking in ladylike manners:

"Ah~ I'm tired, I'll go find you. I'm going back to enjoy the bath that Lady Astrea has prepared."

"Me too~" Leila imitated whistling while holding her head.

Liu put on a stern face: "Laila~~, whose fault is it anyway?"

"So, Leon, you're just being too serious. People are dying in Orario every day. Instead of wasting your time, you should conserve your energy to save more people." Kaguya waved her hand.

"Besides, if he hurts someone, wouldn't that make him just like those crazy lunatics from the underworld factions, proving that Lyra didn't kill the wrong person?"

"How can these be lumped together!" Ryu shouted in protest.

How tragic it would be if people fell into evil because of a misguided sense of justice.

"Enough! This is a hospital. If you want to argue, go outside!" Amid's icy voice interrupted the four people's bickering.

She took a deep breath and continued, "Also, it's our responsibility to lose the patient, and I will take responsibility for finding him. He must be cured before he leaves! Otherwise, it would be a disgrace to our reputation!"

"Is this also... business competition?" Leila glanced at Nazha, who had a smug look on her face.

“Yes!” Naza nodded, arms crossed. “The Mih clan would never allow such a thing to happen! Please entrust your patient to us with peace of mind. This kind of clan that only cares about making money has no humanity at all!”

"Hmph~" Amid completely ignored Naza's teasing and turned to give orders to the members of her clan.
