National Destiny: Starting with a gender-swapped role as Artoria

Suddenly remembering something, Eriri sat up abruptly in bed.

The room was large, with easels and paints of various colors, which were haphazardly placed to one side because no one was taking care of them.

"Grandma...Grandma seems to have gone to the Celestial Empire...I wonder how she is doing now...Is Wu Yue...I! I wasn't expecting anything! I just...—cough—cough—There's really no other way. If Wu Yue really wants to come, then I'll have no choice but to welcome you!"

Eriri sat alone on the bed, her eyes closed and looking serious, talking to herself for a long time.

"Yeah, yeah! There's just no way around it!"

Yingli slowly opened her eyes and realized her current state.

"—Waaaaaa—waaaaaa—"

She let out a meow like a kitten, then her face turned red instantly, and she fell onto the bed as if she had lost her weight, turning to her side and hugging a life-sized body pillow.

She buried her face deeply in it.

"I...I didn't..."

at this time

Outside the door, a group of maids were peering through the crack in the door to observe what was happening inside.

Seeing their princess talking to herself and then hugging the pillow tightly in the end.

You look at me, I look at you.

They all burst out laughing at the same time.

The maids, who had gone through puberty, understood this feeling all too well, and they immediately felt empathy, letting out maternal smiles.

Very tacitly, no one went up to disturb them.

Eriri hugged the pillow tightly, tossing and turning incessantly.

Just then, I heard a sound. I got up and looked, and found that the huge LCD TV had suddenly turned on by itself for some unknown reason.

And the screen was completely blue.

Chapter 49 That person?! He's in love?! Baki Hanma! Resurrected!

Sakura Country International Hotel Building

In a room on a high floor, on a large bed, sat a man, the strongest man in the world.

Yujiro Hanma

At this moment, Yujiro Hanma was hugging his knees, curled up in the corner of the bed like a young girl.

I stopped thinking.

"How long has he been like this?"

Outside the door, a government official from the country of cherry blossoms asked a hotel waiter.

"Hmm... It's been like this ever since the end of the War of National Destiny. I've never left the house, and I haven't eaten anything."

Upon hearing this, the official turned his head and secretly peeked at Hanma Yujiro through the crack in the door.

I never imagined that Yujiro Hanma, who single-handedly forced the Free Nation to sign a peace treaty, would turn out like this.

This posture, this atmosphere, has an indescribable pink hue, it's just like...

"Um... Your Excellency, please allow me to say one more thing."

The waiter asked cautiously from the side.

"You said."

"Um, don't you think... this..."

Sweat beaded on the official's face. He cleared his throat and then leaned close to the official's ear. The official cooperated by turning his body to the side and lowering his head.

The waiter spoke cautiously.

"I think... Yujiro Hanma seems to be in love..."

Upon hearing this, the official was immediately shocked and looked at the waiter with a look of astonishment.

“He is really like a teenage girl just beginning to experience love. I used to be a high school teacher and I have seen many girls like that.”

"Wh...what?!"

Yujiro Hanma is in love?! But... that doesn't make any sense at all...

"Then...who was he talking to...?"

The official looked at the waiter, his expression quite interesting.

"—Ahem—Ahem—Of course, it's that representative of the Celestial Empire… Wu Yue."

The official gasped in shock, realizing everything.

So that's how it is. Yujiro Hanma, being the strongest man in the world, is only born to give orders to others.

However, during a live global broadcast, he was forced to give orders by a woman he perceived as a woman.

This feeling must be quite strange...

Just then, the television in the room suddenly and inexplicably turned on, displaying a completely blue screen.

----------

Meanwhile, in the intensive care unit.

A person lay sickly in a hospital bed, thin and pale.

You can even see with the naked eye that it's all skin and bones, with no fat left and only dehydrated muscles.

His skin was dry and pale.

This person is the son of Yujiro Hanma, the world's strongest man.

The world's strongest high school student

Hanma Baki

He barely survived that 4K-level monster brawl.

At this moment, two people were standing beside Baki's bed in the ward.

One!

He's a master of Chinese martial arts for 5000 years! He's got a braid and wears a red Zhongshan suit!

Retsu Kaioh!

And the other one!

Those are red leaves!

When he was teleported, Baki was already on the verge of dying, but then he encountered Momiji.

Who is Hongye?

Renowned doctor!

Even if all your ribs were stripped off from your upper body and you were turned into boneless chicken strips!

I can definitely save the red leaves!

The human body! It's truly amazing!

"Dr. Kureha, could you tell me what Baki's current condition is?"

Hongye looked at the medical record in her hand and nodded.

"Baki's body is now mostly fine, but..."

"only?"

"It's like something's missing. For example, it's like a brand-new car is missing its starter key, or a newly bought piece of clothing is missing its buttons. It's not a big thing, but it's crucial."

Hongye paused for a moment, then said.

“Baki’s body should have returned to normal by now, after all, he has Hanma’s blood and the power of the demon god flowing through his veins. But…”

"—Hahahahahahahahahaha—"

Upon hearing this, Retsukai burst into laughter, while Kouye looked at him with some confusion.

"Dr. Hongye, let me handle this."

Without waiting for Hongye to speak, Lie Haiwang rushed out of the intensive care unit in a hurry.

About half an hour later, Retsu Kaioh returned, carrying a jar in his hand.

"Lie... what's wrong with you...?"
