Wang-san did say it. The Golden Cube, I somewhat understood it even in Chinese.
His vigilant eyes seemed to see through my Eye of God.
I was involuntarily drawn to look away from his powerful gaze, but I didn’t.
I wasn’t sure why, but I felt that I shouldn’t run away.
Kai: โWhat do you mean?โ
Nevertheless, I was ready to activate Lightning immediately. He is a foreigner, and if he knows about this eye, it could be dangerous.
Wang: ใPretending to be ignorant? Haha, you look like you’re about to run away. Butโฆใ
Suddenly, Wang-san, who should have been in front of me, disappeared.
Kai: โ!?โ
Wang: ใNo running away. I won’t let you. No way..ใ
I was grabbed by the shoulder. It was fast, overwhelmingly so. His speed was faster than my activation of Lightning even after I saw him. He was right in front of me, but he must have moved in less than 0.1 seconds, even though he was sitting.
Surprised, I wondered whether to fight. But my opponent is a Chinese hero, I was no match for him.
With that in mind, Wang-san whispered in my ear. His voice was not as confident as it had been.
Wang: ใNow, whether you like it or not, tell me about that power. I beg youโฆ You are my last hopeโฆใ
His voice was as if he was clinging to something.
Kai: โWhat on earthโฆโ
At that moment, Wang-san’s smartphone rang.
Wang: ใExcuse me, don’t run away. Kai-kun, I beg you. If you run away, I’ll destroy Japanโ ใ
With that, Wang-san let out a pressure with a grin.
I didn’t understand what he was saying, but his gesture made me shudder. It seemed best to behave here.
And then, Wang-san picked up his smartphone. I didn’t feel any murderous intent or malice in his attitude. Therefore, I decided not to choose to run away, plus I had seen his expression somewhere.
A face troubled and cornered.
Wang: ใโฆI see. I’ll be there soonโฆ I’m sorry, Kai-kun. Could you come with me? I have something to show you.ใ
Kai: โโฆI understand, that’s fine.โ
I decided to follow him because I was curious about his expression. I wondered what a strong man like Wang-san was afraid of, what he was clinging to.
Wang-san should be able to do anything if he wants to.
He could even control this country if he wanted to.
Yet, why did his expression overlap with mine, when I still had no power?
I wanted to know the reason. We rode in the car in silence on our way to the destination.
And where we arrived wasโฆ
Kai: โโฆa hospital?โ
A huge hospital, far larger than any hospital dedicated to Japan’s clearers. We arrived at this very large hospital, which might be due to the population difference.
We were led to a large private room.
Kai: (โฆI seeโฆ so that’s why we overlapped)
As soon as he opened the room, Wang-san ran and held the hand of the sleeping girl. Tears flowed in his eyes, and at first glance, he looked like a brother who only thought of his family.
Wang: ใI’m sorry for inviting sympathy, let me introduce her. This is my sister, Jing Wang .ใ
I looked at the woman sleeping on the bed. I saw her status, and it was just as I had imagined.
Kai: โAMS, is it?โ
Wang: ใYes, it’s been almost 10 years now. She’s developed complications. There’sโฆ no time left, I don’t even know if she’ll be alive tomorrow, I heard her heart stopped for a moment earlier.ใ
Wang-san gently stroked his sister’s hair.
Wang: ใShe’s my only family, my last treasure. I’ll do anything to protect her, my sister, Jing. You understand what I mean, don’t you, Kai-kun?ใ
Wang-san stared at me. He must have noticed many things. That I cleared the Golden Cube, and that my sister is the only one in the world who has been liberated from AMS.
And that I must have something special. And he is probably threatening me to keep it a secret. It was clear that he was in no position to spare.
The announcement about AMS is still scheduled for later. I heard they are currently interacting with some research institutions in the United States.
There was an incident with the God-Destruction Cult, and it’s a little delayed. So Wang-san probably doesn’t know yet.
I looked at the details of AMS again. In addition to AMS, she has developed complications, and she is in a condition where she could die at any time. Her symptoms have invaded considerably, and it was so much so that it was hard to tell if she was alive just by looking at her.
Various thoughts crossed my mind. Should I tell him about AMS here? Or should I abandon her, sell him a favor, what should I do?
Should I spread something that has not yet been announced? She is the sister of a man like Wang-san, surely the rumors will spread all over the world. And it would affirm the existence of my power.
Kai: โโฆโ
I stared at the sleeping girl. The moment I saw her, the image of Nagi sleeping crossed my mind.
And then I smiled a little.
Kai: โโฆYeah. I should know this feeling better than anyone. Clinging to a straw, ready to risk even my own lifeโฆโ
Why did Wang-san overlap with me, it was simple and clear. It’s just that the way Wang-san looked at Jing was the same as how I looked at Nagi.
Then the answer is settled.
I smiled gently at Wang-san.
Kai: โโฆWang-san! I will be back soon, please believe me.โ
I marked Wang-san’s shadow. Then, I activated Lightning. The destination, of course, was that smart girl.
โ
Nagi: โWow, it’s beautiful, Aya! Do you ever want to go cruising with Kai?โ
Aya: โI-I-d love to…Nagi, you just wanted to get me to say that, didn’t you?โ
Reina: โLook, Aya. Isn’t it amazing?โ
Aya: โHey, Reina! Don’t run on the river! The ship will capsize!โ
The trio are sightseeing at a famous spot in Shanghai. Then, lightning strikes.
Kai: โAya, I’m sorry. Thanks for coming with me.โ
Aya: โEh!?โ
Nagi: โBig brother!?โ
Reina: โKai?โ
Kai: โYou two wait here for a bit. I need to borrow Aya. Let’s go.โ
Aya: โWha, what!?โ
And then Aya and Kai disappear into the shadows.
Nagi: โIt’s a kidnapping… Reina, Aya got kidnapped. By big brother!!โ
Reina: โHmm… it’s always Aya. So unfair!!โ
โ
Aya: โEh, ehhh? What’s going on all of a sudden, Kai? If you wanted to be alone with me… I’m, I’m happy, but I’d like some mental preparation.โ
I hug Aya tightly and teleport again to Wang-san.
Kai: โAya, this woman is AMS. Please start the treatment immediately.โ
Aya: โWhat!?โ
Aya screams in surprise in my arms. She looks around and her face turns bright red.
Wang: ใYou are… aren’t you old man Kagetora’s granddaughter?ใ
Aya: โThis place is… And this person… is… What!?โ
I calmed down the flustered Aya and instruct her to start the treatment immediately.
…
Aya: โAhem. I’m starting the treatment. Is that okay? Wang-san, this treatment method isn’t confirmed yet.โ
Wang: ใI’m prepared. If there’s a chance of survival, I’ll do whatever it takes.ใ
Aya: โOkay, here we go. I’ll grind the magic stone that Wang-san prepared into powder. Please handle the transfusion.โ
The doctor in charge of the hospital nods. And the treatment begins. Wang-san must be anxious, he’s holding onto Jing-san’s hand the whole time.
I used to be like that too.
But now I’m certain it will get better.
Wang: ใJing… Please, let me see your beautiful eyes again…ใ
Aya mixes the blood to prepare for the transfusion. And the brightly shimmering blood begins to flow into Jing-san.
The transfusion for E-Rank, D-Rank, C-Rank, and B-Rank was complete. It took about two hours, which felt like an eternity to Wang-san.
Wang: ใ!?… She moved, She moved!!ใ
Aya: โIt’s okay, Wang-san. It’s getting better. With this final transfusion…โ
The final magic stone is transfused. Jing-san had A-Rank magic, just like Nagi in numerical terms.
The longest 30 minutes for Wang-san begins. According to a story I heard from Hao-san, it’s been 10 years. When Wang-san was called the great hero of China, Jing-san fell asleep. Since then, Wang-san has tried everything, spending money without hesitation to keep Jing-san alive, but complications arose due to immunodeficiency.
She only has a few days left. That’s why they can’t be picky.
Wang: ใJing, wake up, wake up… please wake up.ใ
Wang-san keeps holding her hand. Squeezing it tightly, he just closes his eyes and prays.
The scene is the same as mine that day, so it should be fine.
Jing: ใ…Brother… I’ve… been hearing your voice… all this time…ใ
Because the result should be the same.
