"Speaking of which, I do have a rather presumptuous favor to ask..."
Just as Yang Yi was about to leave, Haken spoke again, making an additional request this time.
But right now, as long as the fellow wasn't asking for money and his request wasn't too outrageous or difficult, Yang Yi would actually do his best to oblige.
"Go on. Just say it."
"All right." Haken nodded and explained, "I heard from Banks... Apparently, you actually sculpted her body, which is why it's so perfect.
"So, if possible, I'd quite like to have flesh and skin of my own too. But conventional methods don't work. Any flesh attached to me not only causes discomfort but also rots faster. There's simply no way to graft it on."
Haken extended an arm from beneath his robe as he answered. It consisted entirely of bones, yet it could move without muscles pulling on it.
"You might not be able to understand.
"But ever since I became a skeleton, there hasn't been a moment when I wasn't searching for a way to become human again. I've visited several dangerous places for that purpose and found a few things, but none of it worked out.
"In the end, I only learned from a document that there was a special being called the Great Limb Graftor, who possessed the mighty power to create species.
"Something like rebuilding a body would be no more than a trivial task for the Great Limb Graftor, so..."
By now, Yang Yi understood. Banks had probably let it slip while drunk or boasting, and Haken, who had been keeping an eye out for information on the subject, had learned of it.
"All right. There happens to be plenty of Tooth Beast flesh here, so we won't even need to find materials."
