Kisaragi's Long-Strange Collection Notes

The hospital is not a legitimate hospital, but the East District Clinic is indeed a legitimate medical institution that treats and saves lives.

Ward 505, 5th floor.

Chen Meimei and tide walked in carrying fruit and drinks.

There were only two people in the ward.

A blond, red-eyed boy lying on a hospital bed, and Cassan sitting beside him.

When the boy saw a stranger enter, he was initially puzzled, but then seemed to realize something and showed a slight look of fear.

Cassan didn't mince words with the two men and went straight to the point:

"You want to find Dawn to be your teacher? But I think you're a troublemaker and will ruin her future."

In this mysterious circle, people keep secrets from each other, and there aren't many close relationships. Partners are one, and teachers are almost another.

If the relationship is good, teachers will generally lend a hand when their students encounter problems.

Chen Meimei fears riddle-makers who keep their thoughts to themselves, but is least afraid of those who speak their minds directly.

"Master's wife, if you agree to let me become your apprentice, I will help you create opportunities in the future, and you will also be a teacher."

This statement contained so much information that the people in the ward were momentarily speechless.

"Don't talk nonsense. I don't care about you, but if you ruin the reputation of the Dawn, forget about becoming its disciple. The Dawn might even hunt you down."

Cassan spoke harshly, but remained seated as still as a mountain, showing no intention of getting up to deal with the person.

Chen Meimei immediately understood: I admit that what I said just now was a bit of a gamble, but now I see it clearly.

"Master's wife, there are no outsiders here. Master Fuxiao's excellence cannot be hidden. There will always be admirers flocking to her. She is focused on improving her strength. How can she be distracted by such trivial matters?"

Chen Meimei paused briefly, and seeing that Cassan didn't seem to intend to stop her, she continued:

"It's not a good situation if my teacher's wife always has to step in and stop these things, and then there are always people gossiping behind our backs. But if I were there, it would be different; I'd be responsible for driving them all away!"

A smile flickered across Cassandra's face, but she quickly masked it.

"You're young, but you're quite cunning."

"No, I was just stating the facts."

"Yes, this is my younger brother, Kavi. He's never been a good student since he was little, and he even gets into fights like other kids."

Chen Meimei raised her eyebrows: "Kavi, who hit you? They hit you so hard, it's outrageous! Fighting is okay, but losing is not. I'll help you."

Lying on the bed, Kavi said weakly, "I won. I had a fight with my classmate, and I beat him into submission."

"That's alright. It seems you've killed ten thousand enemies but lost eight thousand of your own."

"I barely got hurt when I hit my classmates."

"So what are you doing?"

"My sister got me into the clinic."

Chen Meimei and tide: ......

Cassan blushed slightly: "Just lie down and rest. Why are you talking so much? I'm here to take care of you."

Then she turned to Chen Meimei: "Remember what you said, you can leave now."

Chen Meimei and tide walked out of the clinic.

"Is my master's wife really this violent? She's so ruthless even to her own people."

tide shook her head: "No, Cassan is the gentlest person in the whole company. She never hits anyone."

"Oh?" Chen Meimei became interested. He had always thought that this obstacle on his path to becoming an apprentice was a violent person.

"Kathan's codename is [Critical Point Dancer], do you know what that means?"

Chen Meimei shook her head.

"The so-called critical point is the 'threshold' for perceiving everything; it's the point at which a slight push can turn a 99% success rate into 100% or 0%."

Could you explain it in simpler terms?

"She always whispers 'just a little bit more' at crucial moments, followed by either success or failure. Outsiders call her a 'jinx' or a 'miracle worker'."

It seems that Kavi was taken to the clinic after she said, "Thank goodness, you almost got seriously injured in the fight."

"It's probability again, which feels a bit like your abilities."

"The differences are quite significant, but it's a bit complicated to explain."

"Forget about the complicated stuff. By the way, let's go find my real teacher, Dawn."

"I won't go with you. Just a friendly reminder, you mentioned violence earlier. This guy, Dawn, is one of the most violent people in our entire club."

"Never mind then, I'll go see her tonight. Where are you going? I'll take you."

"Okay, take me to [Faded Gallery]."

Chen Meimei's ahoge (cowlick) turned into a question mark.

Of course, he wasn't curious about everything; he didn't ask any questions about a gallery that was clearly geared towards the profession of painters.

"Let's go to [Faded Gallery]." Chen Meimei said to the sedan chair, but she didn't get in with Xi.

What Chen Meimei didn't know, the sedan chair, being an experienced driver, did. According to the sedan chair itself, there were very few places it didn't know.

"Huh? Aren't you coming up?"

"No, I ran into an acquaintance and had something come up. You go ahead, this sedan chair will be waiting for you where you got off, and I'll take you home after you're done."

"Okay, goodbye."

Following the direction of the figure she had just seen, Chen Meimei went back into the clinic.

The patient activity center in the clinic's backyard.

A young patient sits in a wheelchair, sunbathing on the grass.

The afternoon sun shone warmly on people, and a gentle breeze made the patient in the wheelchair feel so comfortable that he wanted to take a nap.

Just as the patient closed his eyes to rest, he suddenly felt as if the light was being blocked.

She opened her eyes.

Her pupils suddenly contracted.

Chen Meimei stood in front of her, blocking the sunlight, and greeted her with a smile:

"Ashes, it's been a long time."
