She looked at those fluffy little cuties, wanting to touch them but unable to because of her abilities.
"Sigh..." Mikoto sighed again, "If only my abilities were like Chiyo's."
"Just like me?" Chiyo looked at the trembling puppy.
She knew that the dog wasn't afraid of Mikoto, but rather uncomfortable because of Mikoto's abilities.
LV5 will be surrounded by a powerful electromagnetic field.
Animal fur will instinctively become statically charged upon contact with Mikoto, causing discomfort to cats and dogs. This makes various pets, including cats and dogs, dislike Mikoto.
“Yeah, you wouldn’t think like that if you were like me,” Chiyo said. “It’s troublesome and dangerous. If you die, you’re really dead.”
"Huh?" Hikari asked, somewhat puzzled, after hearing this, "Is it dangerous?"
I've seen a bit of the animation, but it didn't seem that dangerous.
“Reality and anime are quite different,” Chiyo said. “The real world is always much more complex.”
And there are other, even more dangerous worlds.
There is a real possibility of sudden death at any time.
If only Misaka's abilities could remain confined to this world.
“You just need to make good use of your abilities,” Chiyo said, sounding quite troubled. “But I have a lot to consider, a lot of things.”
"Oh..." Mikoto didn't press for further questions.
"Speaking of which," Mitsuko, who had already chosen her items after the wedding, asked curiously, "what do those Pokémon eat?"
"What to eat?"
Chiyo suddenly remembered something, and she took out a peach and asked, "Can your pet eat this?"
"A peach?" After the wedding, Mitsuko curiously examined the object in Chiyo's hand.
"It doesn't look quite like one." Mikoto observed it more closely and realized that although it looked very similar to a peach, there were many differences.
And it looks like this...
She suddenly realized and said, "Is this a Peach Berry?! A berry from the Pokémon world?"
"You knew?" Chiyo was a little surprised.
If you don't play games, there doesn't seem to be much information about these things, right?
"I know a little bit," Mikoto said, as if making a defense. "I just know that in the lore, it's supposed to be very nutritious, that Pokémon can eat it, and that it has some kind of detoxifying effect, right?"
"You..." Chiyo wanted to complain.
I never saw these things when I watched the Pokémon anime back then.
"Hmm." Chiyo didn't say anything more, but took out another item.
"This is a peach pit?" After the wedding, Mitsuko recognized it at a glance.
“Yes.” Chiyo nodded and said, “To be precise, this thing is the seed of a peach fruit, the kind that is alive, and can be used to grow a peach fruit tree.”
Chiyo gave Mikoto and Mitsuko a Peach Berry each, saying, "This is very common in the Pokémon world; it's a kind of economic crop. It's not exactly a food crop, but it can fill your stomach. Besides its detoxifying properties, the Peach Berry is also a very delicious fruit."
"In the world of Pokémon, Peach Berry is also widely used as one of the raw materials for making antidotes."
Chiyo thought for a moment and said, "However, I'm not too clear about the manufacturing process and procedures."
Actually, you can guess some of it; it's probably very similar to the medicine.
They are mostly extraction, mixing, and pharmaceutical processing.
But there are definitely many differences.
"Hmm?" After marriage, Mitsuko was a woman from a prominent family. Although she hadn't taken over the family business yet, she quickly guessed Chiyo's meaning and said, "You want to cooperate with me?"
"After marriage, it seems to be the largest aerospace group, right?" Chiyo said directly.
Actually, there's no need to be subtle or explain much. After marriage, it's like a family business, clearly using the surname, which is too obvious.
“You guessed right,” Chiyo said. “I wanted to see if this thing could be grown here.”
"If we could, we could harvest lots and lots of seeds and plant lots and lots of trees."
"It bears lots and lots of fruit, which is great whether you eat it yourself or make money."
Chapter Seventy-Two: An Attempt
The Naruto world and the Pokémon world are both doomed.
She had just entered the Naruto world, so it's not fair to say she lacked the ability to protect herself, but following Jiraiya would certainly mean she would be homeless.
Besides, she didn't have the financial means back then.
Planting isn't just about planting seeds; not only does she not have a black humanoid self-propelled planting machine, but planting also requires upfront investment that she can't afford.
The Pokémon world is an option, but the currently selected location is definitely out of the question.
Thinking about it carefully, with Groudon and Kyogre involved, that place is bound to be quite lively for some time to come. At the same time, no cooperation has been reached with local capital. The town's economy is mainly service-oriented. Since Vermilion City is an important port in the Kanto region with a large number of merchants and travelers, towns that rely on providing services and trade to merchants and travelers naturally formed along the road to Vermilion City.
So even if the town's residents were interested, they lacked the technology and manpower.
Chiyo thought it was worth a try after meeting Mitsuko after marriage.
The Marriage Group certainly has the capability, and in the anime, both Mitsuko and her father are trustworthy individuals.
Chiyo knew that if peaches could really be grown in this world, there would be a huge potential market.
What she wanted were the fruit and seeds, so she was willing to give up some of the profits. However, she also did not want her partners to be driven by huge profits and greedily try to kick her out and take everything for themselves.
"Hmm..." After getting married, Mitsuko looked at the seed.
This matter is neither particularly difficult nor particularly simple, as our main business is in the aviation sector.
Her family had never been involved in agriculture before.
"This is very precious, isn't it?" After thinking for a long time, Mitsuko decided to refuse. "If it doesn't succeed, we'll have nothing. My family doesn't have any agricultural expertise, so..."
Since it was a friend's marriage, Mitsuko could still sense the preciousness of this seed, and she didn't want her friend to suffer losses because of her carelessness.
“It’s alright.” Chiyo shook her head and said, “It might be a bit more troublesome if we had a reserve. These are berry seeds from the Pokémon world. Perhaps we need a group of people to help with research and cultivation, starting from scratch.”
"And I also have other ideas that I might be able to help with then."
"I see..." After the marriage, Mitsuko couldn't refuse Chiyo's request, and besides, she also wanted to achieve something, so she nodded and agreed, "Then I'll give it a try."
"I'll tell you after I've made contact."
Chiyo nodded. If Mitsuko immediately agreed after the marriage, she would be a little nervous.
After all, there is only one seed, and if the planting fails, there will be nothing left.
Having settled these matters, the three of them began to explore the area. Chiyo had indeed never properly explored this place before.
Although due to some habits from her previous life, she used her free time to explore every street and alley in the school after arriving.
She knew where the shops were and what their products were famous, but she had hardly ever been inside any of them.
Today was a good opportunity; I spent the whole day here and ate a lot of delicious food.
"This is the Tokiwadai school dormitory."
In the evening, the group arrived at the Tokiwadai dormitory. Mikoto, as if just remembering, said, "Speaking of which, it's almost curfew time for me too."
"Bye-bye~" Mikoto was genuinely afraid of the dormitory supervisor. Seeing that she was about to pass curfew, she ran away without looking back.
After the marriage, Mitsuko wanted to say something, such as "let's get together again next time."
But looking at Mikoto's retreating figure, he ultimately said nothing.
"Friend..." she murmured to herself, perhaps with a hint of sadness, or perhaps because she could sense that Mikoto didn't fully consider her a friend yet, but rather just a familiar stranger she had spent the day with.
“She’s always been like that,” Chiyo said casually from the side. “And their dorm supervisor is definitely a bit creepy.”
"Huh!" Hikari was startled after getting married. She had been paying attention to Mikoto and only then remembered that there was someone else beside her.
She quickly and awkwardly covered half her face with her fan. "No... hahaha~ it's nothing... Chiyo-san, aren't you going back? Do you live here?"
“No,” Chiyo shook her head and said, “I’m in the hospital.”
"A hospital?" Mitsuko was even more surprised after the wedding.
"My health isn't very good from birth," Chiyo said nonchalantly. "So I'm recuperating in the hospital and haven't moved into the dormitory yet."
"I see..." After the marriage, Mitsuko always felt that Chiyo seemed to have a lot to say but she didn't. Looking at her relaxed appearance, but recuperating in the hospital, it might be more than just recuperation, right?
She really wanted to ask him something out of concern, but she didn't know how to bring it up.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, "Um...we're friends, right..."
"Huh?" Chiyo was a little confused. Had she not explained herself clearly?
But seeing Mitsuko's uncertain expression after the marriage, Chiyo immediately understood something by combining the settings from the novel and the anime.
'Peach and plum trees do not speak, yet a path is formed beneath them.'
Chiyo silently recited this sentence to herself, recalling that it had greatly influenced Mitsuko after their marriage.
But this girl misunderstood that sentence.
"Digging and digging in the little garden~ Planting tiny seeds to bloom tiny flowers~", Chiyo murmured.
"Huh?" After getting married, Mitsuko was even more puzzled. Why was he suddenly singing such a strange song?
"As the saying goes, you reap what you sow." Chiyo said, "This nursery rhyme, though simple, illustrates a point: what kind of seeds you plant, what kind of flowers you will reap. As the Buddha said, all things arise from causes and conditions, all are predestined. A chance encounter, a sudden glance back, can determine each other's lives, all for that fleeting moment when eyes meet. Everything we see and encounter is preordained; everything is predestined. The arising and ceasing of predestined relationships, their gathering and scattering, are all the will of Heaven."
"So there's no need for doubt or questioning. The seeds of friendship you've planted will surely grow and blossom if you nurture them. Even if they don't bear the fruit you want, there's no need to worry about it. Everything in the world has its destiny. Instead of dwelling on those things, cherish what you have now."
"Ah..." After the marriage, Mitsuko was confused by Chiyo's words. "It feels so profound."
"It's not that profound, actually." Chiyo patted Mitsuko's shoulder after marriage. "You don't need to ask about good friends. The friends you find out by asking may not be true friends. Treat everyone around you with sincerity and kindness, and you will eventually reap what you desire."
"See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
After saying goodbye, Chiyo returned to the hospital, where the doctor gave her a brief check-up in her room.
"Looks good." Mingtu Zhuihun was also a little surprised. "If he continues to recover like this, he should be able to move out of the hospital soon."
"Oh..." Chiyo didn't care about that; she was more concerned about "the medicine."
"You still need to eat," said the Soul Chaser of the Underworld seriously. "Although you've recovered well, you should know your own physical condition."
Chiyo was speechless.
Dolly's body was already tattered and broken.
It's a miracle that she's still alive; you could say it's all thanks to the system and the Netherworld Soul Chaser that she's been able to extend her life.
In fact, Chiyo herself could also feel that her physical condition was contradictory.
It's a back-and-forth struggle that seems to be thriving but is actually deteriorating.
If he hadn't transmigrated into the Naruto world to start cultivating himself, he wouldn't have been able to keep up with the pace of things.
"Then..." Chiyo sighed and said, "How much longer can I live?"
The Soul Chaser of the Underworld had a serious expression and said nothing, yet it was as if he had said everything.
Is my life coming to an end? Or will I live for a thousand or ten thousand years?
It's hard to explain how Chiyo's physical condition is so complicated, with residual medication from the past being a major contributing factor.
The fact that these drugs cannot be completely metabolized now shows how much medication was used on her in the past.
Another reason could be related to the body itself.
Although I don’t want to speculate with the worst thoughts, it seems that her body had already reached the limit of her lifespan two and a half years ago.
Even without those medications, her body was already showing signs of aging and deterioration beyond her years.
It looks like the world's first cloned sheep encountered the same problem.
With the addition of medication, I've been able to live, and even now, my condition is starting to show signs of improvement, at least on the surface.
This is truly a miracle, a miracle enough to publish N+1 papers.
"Sigh..." Chiyo sighed again and didn't ask any more questions.
