Chapter 229
Luo Mio gently touched the syringe to Fuse Midori's arm and pressed the plunger.
Fuse Midori also frowned slightly.
The transparent blue liquid was also injected into Fuse Midori's arm.
Each Initiator must take Erosion Inhibitor once a day. If they do not take it, the Gastrea virus in their body will increase by 100%. When it reaches 50%, they will transform into Gastrea.
After applying the Erosion Inhibitor, Luo Mio revealed a gift box from the entrance hall.
He gently leaned against Fuse Midori and gave her a soft smile.
"Here, this is a gift for you, Xiao Cui."
Fuse Midori looked at Luo Mio with a surprised expression.
Upon opening the gift box, Fuse Midori looked at the contents and slowly widened her pinkish-purple eyes.
She looked up at Luo Mio with a delighted expression and smiled, "Thank you, Brother Miohua."
Inside the gift box was a lovely white and blue dress.
Seeing Fuse Midori's smile, Luo Mio reached out and stroked her head.
——
Seeing that Fuse Midori was already asleep in the room, Luo Mio gently closed the door.
She walked lightly into her room.
Then he took out a slightly larger rectangular box from the drawer of his desk.
Open the box.
The box was sparkling, and upon closer inspection, it contained hundreds or even thousands of small stones.
Furthermore, each of the small stones is shaped exactly like a teardrop.
Each drop of water from the stone is crystal clear, without any flaws or blemishes, pure and untainted like a newborn child, with an immaculate soul...
It looked incredibly beautiful under the moonlight.
Looking at the clear, water-drop-shaped stone inside, Luo Mio's azure eyes dimmed slightly. She gently stroked the stone with her fingers, her mouth slightly open.
"It'll be soon... it'll be soon..."
Luo Mio placed her finger in the center of the box, and an invisible membrane covered it.
Luo Mio put it back in the drawer, lay on the bed, and gently closed her eyes.
"Teacher, please."
He silently called out Fu Hua.
"Um."
Then Fu Hua's voice rang out, and a faint, warm crimson light appeared on Luo Mio's forehead.
Then Luo Mio drifted off to sleep.
In the Consciousness Space.
Fu Hua looked at Luo Mio lying on the bed through the Consciousness Space and sighed slightly.
Beside her, Book of Cang Xuan was also looking at Luo Mio.
"How long will this last, Mio-chan?"
Fu Hua said with a soft sigh.
"Soon..."
Chapter Four: Lessons and the Holy Child
"Mmm..."
On a morning when the sun hung high in the sky, Luo Mio uttered a soft whisper.
Her azure eyes slowly opened from her drowsiness.
Propelling herself forward, Luo Mio gently touched her forehead and let out a helpless, bitter smile.
"Without 'Feather of the Dust,' getting a good night's sleep is basically impossible."
Then, scenes began to flash through Luo Mio's mind.
"Thank you, Miohua..."
"It would be my greatest honor to be killed by your own hands, Mr. Todou."
"Although it was short, thank you for giving me the best time... Miohua."
"How wonderful it would be if we could walk together forever..."
"Thank you, big brother, for being so kind to us... I'm entrusting my younger sister and the others to you."
"..."
——
Each unforgettable word, like a knife, left deep scars on my heart.
She slightly raised her head, her vast, azure eyes looking towards the drawer.
Then he glanced away and turned to look out the window.
In the distance stood a black "megalith" that inspired awe and fear.
After looking at it for a few seconds, Luo Mio looked away.
I got out of bed, stood up, opened the bedroom door, and walked towards the living room.
As soon as she stepped out, Luo Mio smelled a rich fragrance.
"This fragrance..."
My gaze turned toward the kitchen.
"Hmph hmph hmph~"
All you could hear was Fuse Midori Cui humming a song while frying eggs.
Seeing this scene of Fuse Midori, Luo Mio also slowed her pace and came to the kitchen doorway, leaning against the door frame.
"Um?"
Of course, it wasn't long before Fuse Midori also noticed Luo Mio's presence, stopped humming, and turned to look at her.
Her pinkish-purple eyes widened slightly as she looked at Luo Mio, who was leaning against the doorframe.
Looking at Fuse Midori, Luo Mio chuckled.
Luo Mio's smile also made Fuse Midori's cute little face blush with shyness.
She spoke very softly and gently to Luo Mio.
"Wh-when..."
"Just."
Luo Mio walked to Fuse Midori's side and gently stroked her soft, comfortable silver hair, which was as smooth as cat fur.
Good morning, Xiao Cui.
Good morning...
Because of her shyness, Fuse Midori no longer dares to look directly into Luo Mio's eyes.
Sitting at the dining table, Luo Mio ate breakfast while watching the news broadcast on TV.
At this moment—
"Look, everyone!"
In the camera footage, a young female reporter, with a happy expression, said to the camera lens, "It's His Majesty the Holy Child!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the camera lens turned to a luxurious palace-like building, which was the residence of the ruler of the Tokyo Area, the Holy Residence!
Suddenly, the camera zooms in.
On the open-air balcony, a young girl and a robust old man emerged.
The girl had dazzling white hair like falling snow, and wore a wide, pure white sun hat. She possessed unparalleled, holy beauty, and wore a pure white dress that resembled a wedding dress, just like her white hair and falling snow. She also had dark silver eyes.
The girl was the ruler of the Tokyo Area.
Because the Holy Child's position is hereditary, the girl before them is—
The Third Generation Holy Child!
She possessed the most beautiful appearance among Holy Child in history, political skills that rivaled any regional ruler, and was also very popular with the people.
Beside the young girl, the old man stood Holy Child with a serious expression, completely devoid of emotion.
The old man was named Tendou Kikunojou, an assistant to the Holy Child and the highest-ranking politician.
He is also Rentaro lost his parents, and Tendo Kisara's grandfather...
Looking at the girl who was as pure as Shirayuki, Luo Mio fell silent.
Fuse Midori, standing to the side, looked at the Holy Child, her eyes glancing slightly at Luo Mio.
Seeing Luo Mio's silence, Fuse Midori also lowered her eyes and did not speak.
"Ding ding ding—!"
The ringing of the cell phone broke their silence.
Luo Mio turned her head and looked at the phone placed to the side.
"Moriguchi?"
Luo Mio was slightly taken aback when she saw the caller's name displayed on her phone.
"A phone call so early in the morning..."
After a brief pause, Luo Mio picked up her phone and answered the call.
"Hello?"
"What are you doing right now, Brother Miohua?"
Tendo Kisara's questioning voice reached Luo Mio's ears.
"Eating breakfast? What's wrong, Mokugen?"
Are you free at noon today?
"Noon?"
Luo Mio raised an eyebrow slightly.
Then I thought about it for a moment.
Is it for work?
"Um."
Tendo Kisara immediately answered Luo Mio.
"Okay, I understand." Luo Mio replied to her, then asked, "Where's that Rentaro guy?"
"I'll go to Kukita High School to find him then."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you at the entrance of Kukita High School."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Mio looked at Fuse Midori and said to her with a light laugh.
"I'll have to trouble you to look after the house then, Xiao Cui."
Fuse Midori nodded sweetly and answered softly.
"I see."
Despite her petite stature and seemingly weak voice, Fuse Midori's actual fighting strength is in no way inferior to Enju's Enju, and may even be stronger.
However, because of Luo Mio, she basically never made a move.
