Ignoring Gokawa Kotori, Takamiya Mana turned to look at Gokawa Shi and said, "Brother, if that's the case, you can stay in Ratatoskr without worry. As long as Brother's safety is guaranteed, Mana will be relieved."
Hearing this, Gokawa Kotori frowned and looked at Takamiya Mana: "Hey, from what you said, are you ready to leave?"
"Yes! Yes, I came to Tiangong City for two purposes, one is to hunt down Nightmare, and the other is to see my brother. Now both purposes are no problem, and it's time for me to go back." Takamiya Mana nodded.
Nightmare has been caught, and she also understands Shido Gokawa's situation. With the protection of these two people, nothing should go wrong.
"Of course, I'm just going back to AST to report. After all, I've only been transferred here for a short time, so I won't be transferred anywhere else for a while."
Takamiya Mana said, smiling and hugging Gokawa Shido's arm: "So if you have time in the future, can you come and play with your brother?"
"Ah, no problem, or rather, you're welcome anytime." Shido Itsuka looked at Mana Takamiya and reached out to touch her head.
"I don't care what happens to you in the future. If you just want to move in with us, as long as Shidao has no objection, I have nothing to say..."
Itsuka Kotori said this, and before Takamiya Mana showed any surprise, she continued:
"But, have you forgotten what I said before? You only have a few years to live now."
Looking at the stunned Takamiya Mana and Itsuka Shido, Itsuka Kotori tilted her head:
"You don't think I'm lying to you, do you? How could that be possible? This is the truth."
Emmm, the reason for my sluggishness is actually very simple. I have an exam the day after tomorrow, and to pass it, I spent the whole day buried in books and forgot to write anything. I only just remembered after dinner that I hadn't written anything yet...
I won’t go into too much detail here, I’m really sorry for my mistake!
Actually, it's eight o'clock now, so if I hurry I can still finish a chapter today, but it will probably be worse than usual, after all, it's a rush. (And since I'm a slow typist, I can't guarantee the word count...)
After thinking about it, I asked for leave from the editor-in-chief. I will review intensively tonight and then write tomorrow. I will make up for the words I missed today tomorrow.
And finally, I'm so sorry! I hope to gain the understanding of my readers.
Finally, I wish my friends a happy Dragon Boat Festival! Thank you!
Chapter 181 Are you kidding? I’m pushing the crystal, okay?
In the coffee shop, the three people present were stunned for a moment because of what Kotori Itsuka said.
Compared to Zhao Si's confusion, Takamiya Mana and Itsuka Shido had both heard Itsuka Kotori talk about this matter before.
But now it seems that Takamiya Mana did not take this matter seriously, while Gokawa Shido subconsciously avoided this issue.
Now that it was brought up again by Kotori Itsuka, the two siblings began to face up to this issue.
"It seems like you all think I'm exaggerating."
Kotori Itsuka looked at the two people opposite her, and then focused her attention on Shido Itsuka.
"That's fine with her, but Shidou, you actually think the same way? Or are you unable to accept this fact and want to avoid it?"
"Kotori, does that mean she really only has a few years left?"
With his hands clasped together on the table, Shido Itsuka spoke in a low voice.
"Brother..."
Mana Takamiya beside him looked at Shido Itsuka, and then looked at Kotori Itsuka.
"Wuka, I don't know how you came to this conclusion, but I know my own body well."
"I don't have any disease, and even though I lost to Nightmare last time, it doesn't mean I'm any weaker than her. Before that, I was the one who killed her more than once."
"I possess such power, and yet you tell me I only have a few years left to live... I beg your pardon. Unless you can provide convincing evidence, I cannot agree."
After saying that, she reached out her hand and placed it on Shido Gokawa's tightly clenched hand, comforting him.
"Don't worry, Brother-sama. It's been so hard to finally meet you again. I won't leave you so easily."
"Mana..." Shido Itsuka was stunned for a moment.
"Huh? Are you kidding?"
At this moment, Kotori Itsuka frowned and looked at the two of them.
"Ms. Takamiya Mana, why would you say such an idiotic thing?"
Then, without giving the two time to react, Gokawa Kotori spoke again:
"Why do you think that if you have great strength, you will definitely have a healthy body?"
"There doesn't seem to be any necessary connection between the two. Besides, considering your situation, it's probably because you possess such powerful strength that you only have a few years left to live. Doesn't that make sense?"
"You have to know that you are only a fourteen-year-old girl now. How could you possibly gain such powerful strength at this age without paying some price?"
"Of course, my explanation may not convince you, so please take a look at this."
As she said that, Kotori threw a file onto the table.
"Look, this is the data we, Ratatoskr, obtained after conducting a comprehensive examination of your body."
"Look at the body you thought was fine, and see how broken it is."
After saying that, Kotori Itsuka stopped talking and leaned back in her chair.
Zhao Si also looked at the two people sitting opposite him.
Zhao Si didn't know that Chonggong Zhen only had a few years left to live.
Because he only watched the first season and had not watched the second or even the third season, he immediately returned to his previous novice state.
It seems I must hurry up and finish the rest, Zhao Si thought.
On the other hand, maybe there was too much information in Kotori Itsuka's words, or maybe she spoke too fast.
Before the siblings Gokawa Shido and Takamiya Mana could react, they saw the file book that Gokawa Kotori threw on the table.
"this is.."
Takamiya Mana looked at the file book on the table. After all, it involved herself, so she picked it up and opened the first page.
After a while, she frowned and let go of the next page.
Soon, the sound of turning pages could be heard in the silent atmosphere of the four people.
As Takamiya Mana continued to look through the files, the expression on her face kept changing.
First, her brows furrowed, then her face began to look ugly, and finally, the file in her hand fell to the ground with a "bang", and her face turned pale.
Turning to look at Gokawa Shido who was looking at him with a worried look on his face, Takamiya Mana murmured helplessly: "Brother..."
"Mana!"
Seeing the look on Mana Takamiya's face, Shido Gokawa suddenly became anxious.
"Oh, it seems you believe it?"
Looking at Takamiya Mana's expression, Gokawa Kotori raised her eyebrows and said.
"what is going on....!"
As Gokawa Shido said this, he picked up the file book on the ground, glanced at it, was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed drastically.
There was only this sentence written on the last page of the file.
[The patient's body has been subjected to numerous transformations and experiments, reaching a strength approaching that of an elf. However, after so many transformations, the patient's body is on the verge of collapse. It is estimated that within three to five years, the patient will die from the aftereffects of the transformations.]
Reconstruction... three to five years... and death from the aftereffects...
The words in front of him kept appearing in Shidao Gokawa's mind.
He sat in the chair in a daze, unable to utter a word.
After a while, Takamiya Mana's voice sounded beside Gokawa Shido.
"Ah, so that's how it is? No wonder..."
Really?
Shido Itsuka came back to his senses and looked at Mana Takamiya with some confusion.
But at this moment, Takamiya Mana no longer had the helplessness and fear she had before, and had returned to her previous appearance.
"Because I have no memories of the past, I never paid much attention to my own condition. I only know that I was already very strong when I woke up."
"Now it seems that they did a lot of things to me."
Takamiya Mana spoke calmly.
"They?" asked Kotori Itsuka.
"Well, although my official identity this time is a member of the Tiangong City branch sent by the AST headquarters, in fact, I am still a member of the DEM club." Takamiya Mana said.
"DEM Club!"
Upon hearing this, Gokawa Kotori frowned, obviously knowing a lot about this name.
"Yes, as the commander of Ratatoskr, you should be very familiar with it. After all, their philosophy towards elves is almost completely opposite to what you are talking about."
Takamiya Mana nodded.
"DEM Company? What the hell is that..."
On the side, Zhao Si heard another term he didn't understand and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"DEM is our competitor to Ratatoskr. Besides Ratatoskr, the only other company that can produce manifestation devices is the organization."
"Unlike our Ratatoskr philosophy of actively communicating with the elves and seeking peaceful solutions to problems, D-Corp's philosophy is to actively discover the elves and then destroy them."
As if she heard Zhao Si's muttering, Gokawa Kotori explained.
"Oh...so that's what's going on..." Zhao Si suddenly understood after hearing that.
Just a villain? That's fine.
"From the moment I woke up, I was in the DEM Club. I later became a member, and all my memories before that were gone."
"Now that I think about it, it's definitely connected to those people..."
"But fortunately, I still have a photo with my elder brother as a souvenir. This allowed me to remember my elder brother again and find him in Tiangong City."
As she spoke, Takamiya Mana looked at Gokawa Shido and a smile appeared on her face.
"Mana, I'm actually quite satisfied to see my brother living such a healthy life."
"Really..."
Shido Itsuka looked at the clever girl in front of him who looked almost exactly like him.
Gritting his teeth, Shido Itsuka looked at Kotori Itsuka:
"Kotori, her situation might be..."
"Yes." Before Shidao Itsuka finished speaking, Kotori Itsuka spoke.
"real!?"
Shido Gokawa was stunned for a moment, and then a wave of ecstasy rushed into his heart.
Even Takamiya Mana was stunned for a moment and looked at Gokawa Kotori in surprise.
"Although her body has reached the point of exhaustion, there is still hope. However, in order to heal her, she will need long-term treatment from our Ratatoskr."
"This time can't be short, it must be very long. After all, her body has been messed up by those people from the Dem Society."
Itsuka Kotori said this and looked at Takamiya Mana.
"So, what do you mean? If you accept our treatment, then it would be best if you just join us, Ratatosk. After all, don't tell me you want to go back to that place called Dem."
"Really..."
Upon hearing this, Shido Itsuka hurriedly looked at Takamiya Mana. In his opinion, Kotori Itsuka's proposal was obviously excellent.
It can not only cure Takamiya Mana's physical problems, but also allow him to leave that extremely bad Dem Club.
He almost wanted to agree on behalf of Somiya Mana.
But he didn't do so because this was a matter concerning Mana Takamiya herself, so it would be better to let her make her own decision.
"Commander Gokawa...if I join Ratatoskr, can I be responsible for my brother's safety?"
Who knew that after thinking for a while, Takamiya Shinna would ask such a question.
Even Kotori Itsuka didn't expect this.
Are you kidding me? You're still thinking about Gokawa Shido at this time?
Is this person a late stage brother complex?
