Chapter 42: The Strange Doctor Fran
In a mansion with a strange atmosphere somewhere in Tokyo, Koizumi Hongko was talking to the girl in front of her, and it could be seen that Hongko's expression was quite nervous.
Although Hongzi is not very proficient in healing magic, it is still barely possible to treat his own gunshot wounds that are not serious, and it will take a little longer. However, the problem is that both bullets are in their own bodies, and even if the gunshot wound is healed with magic healing, the bullets will remain in the body, can this be tolerated?
The bullet must be taken out, but Hongzi, as a witch who has mastered a variety of magic, does not have the ability to take out the bullet by herself, so she can only ask the doctor for help.
Regular hospitals must not be able to go, otherwise if a person who has been shot twice in the body comes to seek medical treatment, the hospital will definitely call the police, and then there is only a special channel.
The mansion could be seen as a private hospital, and the girl in front of her was the only doctor in the hospital.
The girl appeared to be between sixteen and eighteen years old, with long blond hair draped around her waist and a white coat. If you ignore the seeping stitching marks on her face and body, her appearance can be considered beautiful, and there seem to be two large electrodes mounted on either side of her head.
Standing in front of Fran, Hongzi couldn't help but feel worried in his heart, everything stemmed from the first contact between the two parties a year ago.
More than a year ago, Hongzi had an accident while conducting a magic experiment, resulting in himself being seriously injured and falling unconscious. At that time, his housekeeper found the Dr. Fran in front of him and asked her to treat him. However, when he woke up from a coma, he found that he had an arm, or a prosthetic, attached to his stomach?
Although Hongzi had summoned all kinds of strange magical creatures from the Demon Realm, he almost fainted again in fright when he saw the arm on his stomach. After finally calming down, she asked the doctor Fran to remove the arm, but the conversation with Fran at the time left her speechless.
"Huh? Why take it off? Wouldn't it be convenient to have a third hand? β
"If that's what you think, why don't you press one for yourself?"
"Mom...... Maybe it's because it's not pretty. β
"If you know it's not good-looking, why do you have to put this arm on me! How can I go out and meet people? I can't wear any clothes, okay! β
"Hmm...... Because it's convenient, isn't it? You don't have to care about other people's opinions, as for the clothes or something, you can customize them. β
Yes, it's coming back again.
Fran's character is like this, naΓ―ve and extremely off-line, which made Hongzi angry for a while.
Hongzi originally wanted to use magic to make the other party submit, but what she didn't expect was that the girl named Veronica who followed Fran was a powerful humanoid weapon. She rushed to her side with just a slight hint of hostility, and then turned into a short sword in her left hand against her throat, and she didn't even have time to cast magic.
Although I don't know what kind of scientific principle it is to turn the left hand into a short sword, but Hongzi still has to be coaxed when his life is at stake. I had no choice but to cancel my plan to convince people with magic, and begged the other party in a good voice.
Eventually, Fran finally agreed to another operation to remove the arm she had worked so hard to put on.
The memories are over, although it has been a year, but remembering the situation at that time, Hongzi still has palpitations.
If he could, Hongzi really didn't want to come here. However, after all, Fran has the ability to live the flesh and bones of the dead, no matter how serious the injury, even if it is a serious injury that is near-death, as long as he still has a breath, Fran has a great confidence that he can heal it. In addition to liking to make some modifications to patients without authorization, she is still quite trusted by Hongzi in terms of medical skills alone.
Hongzi thought of Kaito, who was shot by Shi Detective and fell from a high altitude the night before, but he could actually use teleportation to transfer him to this mansion and let Fran heal him. It's just that at that time, as soon as I saw the miserable Kuaito, I was instantly distraught, and I didn't think of anything other than instinctively hitting 120 and then casting healing magic on Kuaito, and I didn't even remember Fran among the six gods and no masters.
Of course, given Kaito's situation at the time, even if he handed it over to Fran, there was no guarantee that he would be able to save him, so in hindsight, waiting for Zero and getting the magic potion from her was the best outcome, and there was nothing wrong with it other than the fact that the cost was too high. You know, even if Fran can really cure Kaito, maybe she will do something to Kaito, and it is possible that Kaito will be transformed into a fast son.
"That...... Reds? Seeing that Hongzi had been in a trance, Fran stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Hongzi, "You seem to be a little sluggish, do you want me to check it for you." β
"No, no, no, no, I'm in good spirits!" Hongzi hurriedly said to the girl: "Fran, you only need to help me get the bullet out later, don't do superfluous transformation like last time." β
"No problem, Hongzi, you can lie down on the operating table first."
"You have to be careful, I don't want to have bad memories like that anymore."
"Okay, I see, Hongzi, you're really verbose." Fran pointed to the operating table, "Hongzi, lie down quickly." β
Hongzi lay on the operating table with anxiety, and finally couldn't help but admonish: "Don't give me extra transformations!" β
"Hongzi, you can relax, just leave everything to me, Fur Woo Woo-"
Don't laugh so much, hey!

When Zero and Er San returned to their house, it was already past midnight the next day, after all, Zero also went to the hospital to check his broken bones and deal with some abrasions on his body.
Fortunately, my bone crack is not serious, and there is no need for a plaster, just wait for it to heal itself.
After a tiring day, my body was covered with dust and sweat, and it can be said that it was very dirty. So even though it was late, the sisters took a shower and then slept under the covers.
Zero lay under the covers, thinking about what he would do tomorrow, first going to the bank to withdraw money to pay off the arrears of the system, and then going to Suzuki's house to bring back the pigeons that had been deposited.
It was naturally impossible to take the pigeon with him when he went to the Kasaka family castle before, so before disembarking the ship, Zero found Kidd, who was disguised as a white bird, and wanted to return the pigeon to him. Shiratori was glad to know that the pigeon was fine, and went to Zero's room to see the pigeon, but to his surprise, the pigeon only flapped its wings twice when he saw him, and said nothing more.
Since Kidd was going to the castle with him, it was inconvenient for Zero to take the pigeon, so after thinking about it, Zero gave the pigeon to the garden and asked him to take care of it. When I came back from the castle, I went to Suzuki's house to pick up the pigeons, and then I found a chance to return them to Kidd.
When Zero went to the garden with the pigeon and asked her to help take care of it, the garden of course agreed. Although the pigeon seemed unhappy at the time of separation, it did not make much trouble as if it had some spirituality, but reluctantly barked a few times, and then accepted Zero's arrangement.
After thinking about tomorrow's matters, the next step is to communicate with the young lady of the system.
As mentioned earlier, the condition for obtaining the fifth skill is to complete two temporary tasks in total. And after defeating Pu Si Qinglan, this condition has been achieved. Combined with the 2 upgrade points obtained by completing the mission itself, it seems that tonight will be a lot of gains.
But the strange thing is, why hasn't the system lady given a hint of completing the task until now?
"Miss System, are you there?"
"Hmm...... What's up? Do you know what time it is, I'm sleepy......"
For a moment, Zero wondered if he had misheard...... You, the system, are sleepy?
In other words, the so-called system should be just a program, why is it difficult for the system to sleep?
But it doesn't matter.,Just take care of yourself.,If it was before.,It's estimated that you've been completely ignored.,It seems that it was a good decision to choose to upgrade the system to level 2 before.γ
"Miss System, where's my mission reward?"
"What reward?"
"It's the reward for defeating the Shi Kao soldiers, two upgrade points, and a fifth skill." Zero thought to himself, the young lady of the system will not really be confused.
"However, you didn't defeat Shi Kaobing alone, and you still have helpers, don't you? So it can't be considered a complete task. β
"What?" This time, Zero was really stunned, "But, but when you issued the task before, you didn't say that you couldn't have someone to help!" β
"Didn't I say that before...... Well, I don't think so...... Hey, sorry, I missed it. β
Hey, your sister! Can this kind of information be omitted?
There must be a limit to being cute! Other traversers' systems may also be cute, but at least people do their jobs conscientiously, and which system can't even explain the task description?
Doesn't it say that the performance will be improved after the system is upgraded, how can it still be this virtue?
"This mistake is your own responsibility, from my point of view, you have already completed the task you assigned, so you shouldn't deduct my upgrade points and skills."
After all, that's two upgrade points and one skill! Zero felt that he couldn't just give up, and he should fight for it more.
"But ......"
As soon as the "but" of the young lady of the system came out, Zero knew that there was a play, and no matter what the system was going to say next, she immediately interrupted her: "Little sister, you have been with me for so long, and you can be regarded as half a relative, you can't let me pay for your mistakes." β
"But ......"
"It's nothing but that, young lady, if you have the courage to take responsibility, I should be counted as having passed this mission."
In the end, the young lady of the system didn't know whether she was soft-hearted or successfully fooled by Zero, but she still counted Zeros to complete this temporary task.
