Chapter 919: A Boring Person
“Boost morale? No problem, I’ll go.” This request was reasonable, so Lin Wuming naturally agreed without hesitation.
“That’s great,” Shirai Kuroko said with a smile. “Because Senior Wuming has graduated, many first-year members like me are very disappointed. After all, everyone came here admiring Senior Wuming, but they just missed him… If possible, please Senior Wuming, come back often to visit! Oh, and Kogami Senpai misses you very much too.”
“You don’t need that reason… As for Kogawa Meiwei, Our has always kept in touch with her,” Lin Wuming said somewhat helplessly. “Don’t worry, I’ll go. I’ll go next Monday.”
After receiving the assurance, Shirai Kuroko finally relaxed, then returned to silence.
Because she was preoccupied and nervous, Shirai Kuroko remained silent the rest of the way, not even remembering the route she had taken.
When she finally came to her senses, she found that they had already arrived at the Hospital entrance.
“Eh? We’re already…” Shirai Kuroko was surprised, not only marveling at how fast time flew but also at the fact that Senior Wuming hadn’t gotten lost!
Shirai Kuroko had been a little worried that since she was not in good shape and couldn’t help Senior Wuming with directions, they might get lost somewhere else.
For example, the night market near the university in Academy City 5th District, the amusement park in Academy City, or the specialty restaurants in Academy City 4th District…
“After coming here so many times, I can find this place even with my eyes closed now,” Lin Wuming muttered to himself.
Lin Wuming wasn’t wrong; their smooth return this time was almost entirely due to muscle memory.
Because, similar to Shirai, Lin Wuming was also absent-minded on the way back, his mind completely unfocused on navigation, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so smooth.
Although she felt a little regretful in her heart, Shirai Kuroko didn’t show it. After all, it was indeed getting late, and any later would be inexcusable.
Shirai Kuroko had also thought about just staying overnight at the Hospital. Anyway, Senior Wuming often stayed in the Hospital, and next to his ward, there was a special accompanying ward where Hu Feng Senior would rest when she stayed overnight.
It shouldn’t be a problem if she borrowed it for a little while now.
But if she actually did that, she felt it would be very difficult to face Onee-sama, and the Dorm Supervisor might also be a problem.
In fact, Shirai Kuroko had always suspected that their Dorm Supervisor might have known the truth all along, but she just turned a blind eye and didn’t bother with them.
—But if she got too carried away, it might lead to terrifying consequences!
Thinking of this, Shirai Kuroko couldn't help but shiver, then solemnly bid Lin Wuming farewell.
“Do you need me to see you back?” Since this was the Hospital and not his own home, Lin Wuming didn’t try to keep her.
“No need, what would be the point of me seeing you back then?” Shirai Kuroko refused Lin Wuming’s suggestion. “Please rest assured, with Space Movement fully activated, I’ll be back at the dormitory in just a few minutes.”
With that, Shirai Kuroko finally let go of Lin Wuming’s arm, took two steps back to create some distance, then lifted her skirt slightly and curtsied: “Well then, good night, Senior Wuming, I wish you sweet dreams tonight.”
“Be careful on your way, and contact me immediately if you have any problems,” Lin Wuming said, making a phone gesture.
Perhaps because they had lingered outside the Hospital for a bit too long, by the time Lin Wuming walked into the inpatient building, Heaven Canceller had already received the news and came looking for him.
“It seems you’ve gained a lot from this trip,” the doctor said, hinting at something.
“No, there was no gain whatsoever,” Lin Wuming shook his head. “The problems haven’t diminished at all; it’s just further confirmed their existence.”
Lin Wuming looked at Heaven Canceller with a serious expression: “Next, I will fully cooperate with your treatment, Doctor, so I also hope you can find the specific cause of the backlash.”
“Lin Wuming, ah, Lin Wuming,” Heaven Canceller shook his head. “You are truly boring.”
As an old hand, Heaven Canceller naturally saw at a glance that Lin Wuming’s feigned seriousness was just a way to change the subject.
“Even Aleister isn’t so rigid, his reactions are much more interesting than yours.”
“I’m sorry for being so boring,” Lin Wuming rolled his eyes.
A man without distant worries will have near troubles. Lin Wuming now has both distant worries and near troubles, private and public matters intertwined, too busy with headaches to even have the mood to humor others’ jokes.
“Don’t rush, calm down,” Heaven Canceller walked over and patted his shoulder. “Being too anxious isn’t good for your health.”
“Trust me, as long as you cooperate seriously…” Heaven Canceller said confidently, “finding the root cause is no problem at all.”
“I hope so, thank you for your hard work, Doctor,” Lin Wuming said.
The troublesome thing about the real world is that you never know whether accident or tomorrow will arrive first.
You know, Front has already made his move directly, so Lin Wuming wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Fiamma of the Right’s turn to make a grand entrance next.
In fact, in Lin Wuming’s view, it would be most reasonable for Fiamma of the Right to personally take action.
After all, even Front has been defeated, so to seek revenge, they can only send out a stronger combat force.
…
“Speaking of which, in the Orthodox Church, is there anyone stronger than you?” Knight Captain asked. “The other three members of God's Right Seat are on the same level as you, right?”
“Is this the interrogation part?” Front turned to look at the patient in the next bed.
At this moment, they were on a cruise ship returning to England.
As the two most severely injured, Front and Knight Captain were arranged in the same room for centralized care… and supervision.
Front’s current identity was that of a prisoner. Although his injuries were severe, due to his dual Saint and Holy Mother constitution, his self-healing ability far surpassed that of ordinary people.
This was even with Stiyl and the Amakusa-style members setting up a magic circle outside the room, isolating the power of the moonlight that provided a boost to Front.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Front’s injuries would probably have almost recovered by now.
Arranging Knight Captain in this room as Front’s roommate also had this consideration—if Front went berserk and tried to forcibly escape, Knight Captain would immediately stop him.
Even though he was injured, and it was Front who had done it, this did not negate that Knight Captain was the strongest among them apart from Shinkanzaki Kaori.
If they wanted to contend with Front, it really seemed that he would have to be the one to act.
