Frankenstein's Monster
Nakiri didn't explain the meaning behind his earlier statement, and Jilan tacitly refrained from asking. He simply watched as Nakiri put down his tablet, walked to Little Red Riding Hood's side, and ran his fingers over her body from her thighs to her arms to her shoulders, finally stopping above her neck.
"Jilan, this is the place I was talking about." Nakiri pulled the blanket up slightly, covering Little Red Riding Hood's neck and below, so that Jilan could see a small, round spot about the size of a fingernail on the back of Little Red Riding Hood's neck. There was a light-colored bump there, like a computer switch, that was the same color as her skin. The color was so light that it was impossible to see it unless you looked closely.
"Komachi discovered this by chance; we would never normally pay attention to it. Komachi said that pressing this button will wake Little Red Riding Hood. When Komachi pressed it, Little Red Riding Hood temporarily regained some of her senses, but like an electronic device that had run out of power, she shut down again after only a dozen seconds. I'm now replenishing Little Red Riding Hood's energy with nutrient solution, so this time her awakening will be a long one."
Nakiri continued, "I don't know if you've ever read Jilan, Yoshiran -Frankenstein kun. It's a science fiction tragedy with a revenge theme. Frankenstein created that unique monster in the world by dedicating himself to madness, but he hated it because of its ugliness. Without any guidance, the monster revealed its cruel nature after a brief period of warmth. In the end, the doctor was ruined by the monster he abandoned, and he lost his life on the road to revenge... Perhaps, the creator of Little Red Riding Hood was a Frankenstein figure. After creating Little Red Riding Hood, he only gave her life, but not any feelings. That's very tragic."
"Jilan, if possible, when Little Red Riding Hood awakens, no matter what she does, I hope you won't panic."
Faced with Erina Nakiri's earnest request, Jilan didn't answer, but instead asked, "I have a question. Why did you tell me everything about this, instead of having Ueno or Komachi come with you, but instead chose me?"
"Because I want you to take responsibility." Nakiri chuckled and pressed the button.
After a dozen or so seconds, in the short but agonizing wait, Little Red Riding Hood finally made a slight movement. As if she had suddenly transitioned from slow-wave sleep to REM sleep, her eyelids twitched slightly, and her heart rate, blood pressure, and other vital signs slowly climbed from 0 on the tablet in Nakiri's hand, reaching normal levels in just a few minutes.
Little Red Riding Hood was breathing steadily, her mouth slightly open, and her complexion gradually becoming rosy. At this moment, she was no different from a human being in normal sleep.
"Perhaps she should be called Sleeping Beauty instead of Little Red Riding Hood," Jilan joked.
Erina Nakiri smiled knowingly, "Unfortunately, it wasn't the prince who awakened her, but the power of science."
"Hmm, um--"
A soft murmur escaped Little Red Riding Hood's lips, and a pained expression appeared on her exquisite face, as if she were having a nightmare. If before, Little Red Riding Hood's expressionless face made her seem like a fragile porcelain vase, a bubble that could disappear at any moment, evoking only admiration for her beauty, now her expression had become vivid, and her pitiful appearance made one's heart ache. Erina couldn't help but stroke her hair to comfort her.
As if startled awake from a dream, Little Red Riding Hood suddenly opened her emerald green eyes with long eyelashes, and the images of Erina Nakiri and Jilan Jiyu were projected onto her retina.
"Congratulations, your gender reassignment surgery was a success." Jilan tried to lighten the mood with a witty remark.
Little Red Riding Hood didn't understand Jilan's words. She blinked in confusion, then struggled to sit up, ignoring the blanket falling off her body, and stretched out her hands to Jilan.
So big, no, so white!
In Frankenstein's story, the android he created was an ugly monster, but Little Red Riding Hood was a sexual device developed by Alain of the "Dark Shadow." Naturally, her naked body presented the state most capable of arousing men's desires, Jilan was no exception. When he saw her extend her delicate, white palm towards him, his body obediently went limp. Fortunately, he was wearing loose beach shorts, so as long as he didn't move around too much Erina Nakiri wouldn't be able to tell.
However, when she saw Little Red Riding Hood rushing towards her, Jilan instinctively caught her. At this moment, Little Red Riding Hood's body had already left the flatbed of the nutrient tank, and her whole body seemed to have no strength left as she leaned against Jilan. So, in order not to hurt her, Jilan had no choice but to sit down on the ground and hold Little Red Riding Hood in her arms.
Even if Jilan's beach shorts were loose, they couldn't hide the fact that she was boobed in this position. Erina Nakiri was standing on the other side of the incubation chamber. When she saw Little Red Riding Hood fall down, she immediately ran over. When she saw the two of them in this position, one on top of the other, her face instantly turned bright red with embarrassment.
From her perspective, Jilan was excited because she saw Little Red Riding Hood's naked body. No matter how hard she tried, she would never have guessed that Jilan was excited because she saw the hand reaching towards her face. However, this was not important at all. Nakiri shook her head to forcefully clear her mind of the erotic image, and hurriedly walked to Jilan's side, lifting her up like a child by her Little Red Riding Hood and pulling her away from Jilan.
Jilan did not stop her, watching helplessly as the white coat in front of her moved further and further away. Then, Erina Nakiri took off her lab coat and wrapped it around her body. Her back was against the metal surface of the nutrient tank, and her body curled up into a small ball. Her front was covered with a blanket, completely blocking out any exposed skin.
Little Red Riding Hood was very well-behaved, only staring curiously at Erina Nakiri, ignoring her hurried attempts to cover her body.
Seeing that Little Red Riding Hood was completely covered, Nakiri turned around with relief, flicked his hair, and looked at Jilan's still erect penis with a cold gaze. "Seeing a naked girl excites you so much? I thought you were a gentleman."
Jilan took a deep breath, channeling his inner Hamon to forcefully calm the area down. As the congestion subsided, he stood up with a wry smile, "My sexual orientation isn't problematic. Even a gentleman wouldn't be completely unmoved by such a scene. Besides... I've never claimed to be Liu Xiahui, have I?"
Nakiri was well aware of this. She was also amazed when she saw Little Red Riding Hood's body, as if Little Red Riding Hood were the incarnation of the goddess Venus. Not to mention normal boys, even she, who considered herself to have a good figure, was shaken when she saw that body.
Nakiri was merely expressing his dissatisfaction. Jilan had been with him long enough, but he had never shown such wavering before, always remaining calm and composed.
Jilan felt somewhat helpless. Normally, seeing a girl's slender hands would arouse him, but he would subconsciously use his Hamon to suppress his desires, putting himself into a state of sage-like composure, naturally not showing any physical reaction. But this time... Jilan felt the lingering warmth in his palm and smiled bitterly. After all, who wouldn't be completely unaffected by seeing a naked girl? His breath caught in his throat for a second, and it was that one second that caused a certain part of his body to lose control.
Nakiri was sulking, and Jilan was silently reflecting on himself. Just as an awkward atmosphere filled the air, Little Red Riding Hood tried to open her mouth and uttered a hoarse syllable.
"Dad... Mom..."
