My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

Under normal circumstances, there would be no problem, but the problem is that they are all women, and Li Wei is afraid he won't be able to control himself.

Of course, these words cannot be spoken aloud.

“Because they are all very busy.” After considering it for a moment, the boy came up with a convincing reason: “You are the only suitable one in the whole kindergarten, because it doesn’t matter whether you are there or not.”

"Get out! Immediately, right now, leave my kindergarten!" This guy immediately gave him the order to leave: "Besides, I remember you're a pretty good doctor yourself, right? Why do you have to go to the hospital? Is your skill level not good enough?"

"Director, haven't you heard the saying 'A doctor can't heal himself'? Also, please don't doubt my medical skills."

"Then what illness do you think I have?"

Sakata Gintoki's nonchalant attitude is quite infuriating, much like Cai Henggong, who refused to listen to Dr. Bian's brother and eventually died of a terminal illness.

In just three seconds, Li Wei easily made a diagnosis:

"High blood sugar, long-term use of steel balls caused postural problems, and long-term excessive massage caused kidney deficiency."

"Bullshit! How dare you slander someone's innocence out of thin air!"

The silver-haired man with naturally curly hair blushed, and the veins on his forehead bulged: "Now the two of us will go to Yoshiwara, and I'll show you what it means to be able to withstand ten women a night without falling down, and to have your chrysanthemum still red after a hundred battles!"

"I can cure kidney deficiency."

"Sakata has spent half his life wandering, only regretting that he has never met a wise ruler. Now that I have met you, it is like the clouds have parted and the sun has shone through, and my mind has been enlightened. It is truly my good fortune. If you do not despise me, Gintoki is willing to serve you like a dog or a horse."

Principal Gintoki performed a 720-degree mid-air spin and a tiger-style landing, changing his attitude faster than flipping through a book.

"Take me to the hospital first." Li Wei was already used to this guy: "Besides, I've read Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I know what you mean."

"No problem. But you said before that you wanted me to control you first, right?"

As he said this, Sakata Gintoki's eyes suddenly changed: "Then don't blame me, please grit your teeth!"

……

An hour later, at St. Juliana Hospital, in the pediatric triage area, in Dr. Takemi's office.

Li Wei was bound hand and foot and thrown onto the chair opposite him, with only one hand free to move. His mouth was also gagged. He was given a pen and a children's drawing board to write and communicate with the doctor about his condition.

In Sakata Gintoki's words, this is the best way to control Levi and ensure safety.

But the boy suspected that this guy was settling a personal score, and that the ropes were tied really tightly.

"I have fully understood your question, and the test results came back smoothly."

The mature, sophisticated female doctor with short, neat black hair crossed her legs, her smooth, healthy, and elastic long legs jiggling, which was very eye-catching.

She and Li Wei were old acquaintances. The boy had once helped her clear her name after she was falsely accused, and they became close after that.

"Now we have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear, Little Li Wei?"

[More than that, I want to know if Dr. Takemi is free this weekend... (scratch that) Don't joke around, Dr. Takemi, I'm getting impatient.]

"I do have time this weekend, little Li Wei, are you planning to ask me out? The weather's been nice lately~"

[At dawn I climb the cool terrace, at dusk I sleep by the orchid-filled pond. By moonlight I gather lotus blossoms, every night I obtain lotus seeds… (crossed out) Let’s get back to the illness.]

"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore."

Dr. Takemi's expression finally turned serious: "Let me tell you the bad news first. Your test results show that everything is normal. You are perfectly healthy, both physically and mentally. I have never seen a child as healthy as you."

This kind of test report would be good news for anyone else, but for Li Wei it was definitely bad news, because it meant that no lesions were found.

Without finding the cause, there's naturally no way to start.

So, what's the good news?

"The good news is that your body is starting to develop."

A cold glint flashed in Dr. Wu Jian's eyes: "I've heard of people starting puberty at ten years old before, but your case is completely different. Your gonads are fully functional, and some of your organs have even developed beyond those of an adult, and there's no sign of it stopping."

"To put it simply, if you find a suitable partner now, you might just hit the jackpot on your first try."

Li Wei: "..."

These are clearly two pieces of bad news!

Chapter 33 I see you have the makings of a hero.

"In short, I have no other choice right now."

Dr. Wu shook his head and gave his diagnosis: "If it were a normal disease, it would be easy to talk about, but we can't find anything abnormal in your body... How about this, if you get cured in the future, let me know, and we can work together to publish a paper, and name this disease after you, how about that?"

Thank you so much!

The boy rolled his eyes in protest.

Even someone like him, who clearly understands that one should not avoid seeking medical treatment, found it extremely difficult to talk about this illness.

Seeing that even Dr. Wu Jianmiao was helpless, Li Wei gestured to Sakata Gintoki, who was enjoying his ice cream nearby, to take him away so as not to continue taking up their medical resources.

"It's no use saying anything now. Things have come to this, let's eat first."

Inside the cafeteria of St. Juliana Hospital, the silver-haired, naturally curly-haired man placed the boy on the sofa, scratched his head, and seemed unsure of what to do.

Should I comfort this kid now? But I really don't know how to be gentle.

Although he is irresponsible at work and a complete scumbag when it comes to money, he is still somewhat reliable when it comes to key issues.

"Anyway, there's still a long road ahead, Little Rabbit... I'm telling you, Li Wei, you have to be strong. Everything has two sides, you know. There are so many people who want your superhuman strength but can't have it~"

Well, the first sentence is somewhat reasonable, but the second sentence is completely out of touch with reality.

I'm fine; I haven't fallen to that level.

"What do you want to eat?"

I have no appetite, just leave me alone.

"Then you wait here obediently for me. I won't untie the rope yet." With so many surveillance cameras around, surely no one would steal a child in broad daylight, right?

Li Wei originally wanted to say a few more complaints, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up.

Sakata, the headmaster, has done too many unreliable things. If you keep criticizing him, you will gradually be assimilated by him and then defeated by his rich experience; or you will become like that guy next door who wears human glasses, a piece of trash who has lost all attributes except for criticizing.

I heard that after the Yorozuya went bankrupt, that guy's skills improved dramatically by going to the Moonlit Swordsmen's side, and he can now fight Haohmaru and Tachibana Ukyo. Indeed, birds fly far when they follow phoenixes, and people's character rises when they associate with virtuous people.

In short, Li Wei lay on the sofa with his eyes closed, pondering what to do next.

Physical growth is a good thing in a way. It will eventually stop growing at a certain point, and it won't go on like this forever.

Or should I ask the school for a leave of absence for a while? But how long should I ask for? Or should I just apply for a leave of absence?

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

I know what's going on with you.

"Mr. Merlin!" Li Wei suddenly woke up.

By the way, there are countless paths, and there's always one to take. This disease is indeed very unscientific, but it's also quite magical.

Although Mr. Merlin often makes jokes about himself, he is quite skilled when it comes to magic.

In short, choosing to cultivate the arts of benevolence and righteousness to strengthen your body is fine, and learning the highest-level internal energy cultivation method like the *Huangdi Neijing* is also a good choice—it's definitely a case of one plus one equaling more than two. However, you shouldn't continue learning other things like the *Yongtianliu Shoufa Yongxin Ji* and the *Dark Bible*.

"I had already confirmed before I started practicing that these were all excellent works that demonstrated both virtue and talent, and would help me grow."

Sodium is a very common substance, and water is the source of life. Why don't you try mixing them together?

"But if they were really harmful to my body, then the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic should have warned me long ago."

The boy questioned, "Mr. Merlin, my magic resistance is very high; your hypnosis has no effect on me."

【It's very simple, because this isn't a curse or any other debuff at all.】Mr. Merlin is a very qualified person when it comes to magic.

On the contrary, this is a blessing.

"A blessing?" Li Wei was somewhat surprised. "Who would want this kind of blessing?"

【If you don't want it, plenty of others will. Think of those great heroes in mythology: Cú Chulainn could kill a fierce hound at the age of seven, and before he was an adult, he could fight with women for three days and three nights; Hercules crushed a two-headed serpent at birth, and had sex with 49 women in one night, impregnating them all; Fergus was incredibly strong and energetic, and even human women couldn't withstand his desires; King Solomon was both wise and brave, but also extremely extravagant and insatiable, with over a thousand concubines in his harem; even a certain female hero was given a child overnight after her own sister inserted a computer component into her body.】

Precocious, ambitious, valiant, and bloodthirsty—these are almost standard traits of every hero. Congratulations, you're now on the same starting line as them.

Your body was already nearing its limit, just lacking the right opportunity. Now that it has finally begun to develop, with the help of a catalyst, everything is like the Yangtze River flowing eastward to the sea—there's no turning back.

"..."

Although he didn't know who the female hero was, and Li Wei seemed to have never heard of her, he understood what Mr. Merlin meant.

The long period of peaceful life had made him too relaxed, and this consequence was a consequence of his own actions.

But then again——

"Mr. Merlin, you seem to know a lot about these things," Li Wei asked suspiciously. "And what exactly is this catalyst you mentioned?"

[...] For some reason, Mr. Merlin suddenly fell silent.

"Could it be that everything that happened to me is somehow related to you?"

【…】

"Mr. Merlin, are you there?"

【…】

Sometimes, silence is enough to provide an answer.

Li Wei is now absolutely certain that Mr. Merlin is entirely to blame for what happened to him.

The problem is that it's too late to say anything now. Even if we want to settle scores with Mr. Merlin later, we can wait until we get home.

On the bright side, at least we now understand what went wrong with us, so we haven't gone home empty-handed.

And so, the boy comforted himself, remaining bound and gagged on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest, waiting for Sakata Gintoki to finish dinner and return to take him home. He waited like this, out of sight, out of mind, for an unknown amount of time. Then he was awakened by footsteps coming from ahead.

"This person is not Director Sakata."

Using his ability to pinpoint sounds, the boy was able to tell that it was the sound of shoes commonly worn by hospital staff, completely different from the wooden clogs worn by a certain silver-haired man with naturally curly hair.

Opening her eyes, she was greeted by a familiar white coat, with a doctor's badge on her chest identifying her. Her pinkish-orange hair gave her a vibrant look, and her face wore a relaxed yet slightly childlike expression.

He recognized the man; his name was Romani Archman.

By the way, this guy still hasn't paid back the money he borrowed from the boy to tip the virtual streamer last time.

Chapter 34 As the saying goes, one cannot judge a book by its cover.

"Having eaten and drunk our fill, it's time to set off. Little Li Wei, I think..."

After a while, Sakata Gintoki, who had eaten his fill and was completely satisfied, finally finished the battle and, after searching for a long time, finally remembered where he had thrown Li Wei.

No matter how irresponsible he is, if we round it up, he can still be considered a teacher (?), and he still has to ensure the safety of his students.

Then he discovered that someone had come before him and had just left.

"Who is that guy?"

The silver-haired, naturally curly woman felt an inexplicable aversion to the departing figure not far away; perhaps this was a resonance born from being fellow captives of sugar.

Just like blondes with large breasts and white stockings versus black stockings, long black hair, and small breasts are almost natural enemies, they are a standard match.

His name is Romani Archman, a notorious good-for-nothing at this hospital. He's currently the librarian at St. Juliana Hospital, a very easy job. His situation is roughly equivalent to your position as principal at the kindergarten.

"What does he want from you? Could he also have kidney deficiency... Wait, were you just cursing at me?"

[He just came over to comfort me in a very ordinary way, and then, with some soothing background music playing, he spouted a bunch of platitudes that sounded correct but weren't really helpful to me—like how he'd also been confused before, but believed I could get through it.] At this point, the boy pointed to the book that had appeared beside him: [He also gave me this book, saying he hoped it would be helpful.]

Then I mentioned paying him back, and he just laughed it off and disappeared. He's probably engrossed in being a virtual YouTuber again.

I can't believe there are people like this in the world! They're just as useless as me!

Even someone like Sakata Gintoki suddenly felt the urge to go find him, cut off his chicken head, and become sworn brothers.

Picking up the book at random, I saw that it was titled "The Wisdom of Solomon" and written by Dr. Roman on the front. The back of the book read "Published by Shameimaru Aya Publishing House, suggested retail price 999 yen".

It's even more expensive than Hiratsuka-san's book; this publisher seems to produce mostly bizarre books.

Anyway, let's head back first.
