Chapter It"s Show Time
Utzuki pestered Elysia to answer her questions, but Xero moved so this old btch would understand her place. It was time for them to leave, and this btch was just a nuisance.
"*Duck squawking* off!" Xero pushed the old doctor away from Elysia.
"What? What do you think you just did, little boy?" Utzuki frowned. Yet, she also felt surprised that this white-haired boy could push her away.
"You should understand your *duck squawking* place, witch. I am her bodyguard, and you have crossed your boundary." Xero narrowed his eyes and gestured to Elysia to leave.
"Then, please excuse me. It"s time for us to go." Elysia moved Erina into a wheelchair and went to the exit.
"Wait, you haven"t answered my question. It"s fine if you don"t give details, but-" Utzuki tried to grab Elysia"s shoulder. She wouldn"t let this girl go just like that.
Unfortunately, Xero was still between Elysia and the old doctor. He slapped the woman"s hand and applied a fragment of his Heretic G.o.d"s mental pressure to shut her up.
"This is just a warning. Watch your att.i.tude the next time we meet, witch." Xero gave a warning before chasing after Elysia.
By the time the room fell into silence, Utzuki could barely breathe. Her face paled, but her heart was beating unusually fast. She was sure that that sudden mental pressure made her instantly helpless. Bluntly speaking, she fell micro unconscious.
"What the h.e.l.l is that white-haired boy? I am a Grandmaster, and he can overpower me?" Utzuki sat down on the patient"s bed, still in disbelief about what had just happened.
"Ishimoto Utzuki-sama!"
"Grandmaster Utzuki-sama, what happened?"
Utzuki"s disciples and doctors came over worriedly. They had no idea what had just happened, but it was definitely not something good.
"I"m fine. I want all the information reports about that girl named Elysia, and her little bodyguard in my study room ASAP." Utzuki ordered her disciples with a precarious tone.
Meanwhile, Elysia had just gotten into the elevator, going to the first floor.
"..." Xero felt a bit confused and glanced at Elysia a few times. He then decided to ask. "Elysia, why is what I was about to say and what came out of my mouth different? Are you rigged our shared processing?"
"Tic, your speech is filtered. Do you think I will allow you to make my Ely process abusive swear words?" Elena answered like a teacher to her student.
"What? So, it was indeed the work of this shared processing. Swearing words are a part of life, and you took them from me? Where is the freedom of speech!?" Xero pursed his lips. He didn"t like this useless feature.
"You can swear as much as you want when you"re not using shared processing. You can also do that in your mind. Stop whining. It"s not you." Rhea responded nonchalantly.
"Tch, you"re noisy, Rhea." Xero clicked his tongue and folded his arms. This shared processing was only a temporary thing. He would ignore this kind of useless feature for now.
"Ellie, may I ask you something?" Erina raised her head, staring at Elysia"s face from below.
"Yes, you can." Elysia looked down.
"This may sound a bit harsh, but do you have any particular discontent towards a senior doctor? I can see your demeanor turning cold towards "them"." Erina made a steeple of her fingers.
"You may be right, and you may not. I cannot pay respect or courtesy to those who do not have goodwill or friendliness." Elysia gave a vague answer because she didn"t want to tell any story about it.
"I see..." Erina could interpret the unspoken, but she decided not to dig any further.
When the elevator door opened, dozens of reporters were already waiting in the lobby, ready with their cameras and microphones.
"Minamoto-sama, it"s good news for all of us to see you are doing well. Can you say something?" One of the reporters asked, and other ones followed suit.
However, the bodyguards soon kept the reporters at a distance. A dozen additional helpers in military suits came from the exit and immediately made way for Mitsuzuka"s entourage.
"My apologies, we can"t say much now, but thank you all for your support and concern. We are out of the hospital now. We are fine and recovering." Erina waved her hand with a compa.s.sionate smile.
Some people then gave her several bouquets of flowers, and she had no choice but to accept them.
"Get well soon, Erina-sama!"
"We wish the Minamoto Clan the best."
"We love you, Erina-sama!"
"Ah, Kenji-sama!"
"..." Elysia was speechless with the various responses from the reporters and visitors.
She could tell Erina was loved by many people, and Minamoto Clan was well respected. So, this result was predictable. However, the problem was that her face was exposed to the public because of this now!
"Hopefully, my face gets censored in the media, but it"s too late, right? It"s a TV camera for live news..." Elysia heaved a subtle sigh as she realized several big cameras for the television channel had already recorded her.
"Worry not, Ely. You will be famous sooner or later due to our plans to end the pandemic. You will be known as a gorgeous angelic doctor." Elena teased Elysia in amus.e.m.e.nt.
"Hm, we"re also going to hunt down the G.o.d Game partic.i.p.ants. Hopefully, whoever targeted Erina"s life before, would think four times before they dared to act to injure her. We"re already here, and they won"t escape after three days of warning." Elysia periodically examines her surroundings with her advanced perception.
"Yeah, our preparations should be done in those three days." Elena couldn"t wait for the event to arrive. It might be nice to eliminate some troublemakers for the Earth"s good.
"I wish we could contact Earth Mother in our preparation period. She is the key factor in these rescue plans, and we must help her. If she falls, I"m not sure if this world will last long." Rhea had her own worries and knew it was a severe matter that needed to be resolved as soon as possible.
"Mm, we"ll try to contact Earth Mother again after this. I"m sure she"s watching us right now." Elysia followed Mitsuzuka to one of the black SUVs and helped Erina carefully into the rear pa.s.senger seat. "Please watch your head."
Xero immediately sat next to Elysia, and Mitsuzuka helped Kenji sit in the middle pa.s.senger seat.
"Hurry up." Mitsuzuka ordered, and his trusted bodyguards immediately got into the front seat.
The soldiers got into their cars, and a strict escort was put in place towards the Minamoto Clan"s mansion.
"Phew, it really is a miracle. Erina-sama and her father survived the plane crash. The storm also ended suddenly." One of the reporters wiped his sweat.
"Erina-sama is blessed and loved by G.o.ds. It is only natural for good things to come to her."
"But, who"s the gorgeous lady pushing her wheelchair? Is she Erina-sama"s friend? Or maybe she"s the Minamoto Clan"s private doctor?"
"Nevertheless, she is a hidden jade beauty. How can someone like her be unknown to everyone to this day?"
"A beautiful young doctor, huh? Nice! That could make a good headline for my news, hehe..."
"d.a.m.n, you stole my idea. Let"s see what netizens have to say about this. This is a good thing after the terrible news lately."
"Sigh, I just hope the third world war doesn"t really break out."
"The pandemic has not yet reached j.a.pan, and I hope the government takes the matter seriously."
The reporters and others exchanged words after the Minamoto Clan entourage left the hospital.
Meanwhile, the Minamoto Clan company was already on the other side of the city center. Elysia and Xero could suddenly feel an unknown ent.i.ty watching them from a distance.
"Can you feel it? We are being watched by an ent.i.ty with malicious intent." Xero raised his eyebrows.
"Leave them for now. We"ll deal with them soon." Elysia squinted her eyes as she looked back for a moment.
"What"s wrong, Ellie?" Erina asked in wonder.
"We are being watched from a great distance. I"m sure your grandfather is aware of that. They may be trying to harm you and your father, Erina." Elysia took out her smartphone and turned it on.
"Oh my G.o.d... Isn"t that dangerous for us? What should we do, Ellie? Grandfather?" Erina became restless at once.
"Worry not. They wouldn"t dare to strike without thinking four times or with a well-thought-out plan. Even if they did, it would be the end for them." Elysia smiled faintly as she tapped her smartphone"s screen.
"Yes, it"s like what Elysia said. We will make them pay the price for bringing harm to us." Mitsuzuka interlocked his fingers, and his expression turned cold.
"Erina, may I know how is Mio, your private maid and bodyguard?" Elysia glanced at Erina.
"Mio, she is in special advanced training. However, she will be here soon because of our plane crash. She might scold me, hehe..." Erina chuckled weakly. She wanted to be raised a topic related to that unusual white-haired boy, but that boy seemed unfriendly and grumpy.
"I see..." Elysia nodded slightly.
"..." Erina didn"t know what to say. She glanced at Elysia"s smartphone as she wondered what her friend was trying to find.
"What are you looking for, Ellie? Ah, my smartphone went missing for the second time this month..." Erina asked, but it also reminded her of her smartphone.
"You"ll get a replacement soon. Erina, may I know where are we going now? Please show me the place on the map." Elysia brought her smartphone closer to Erina. The map of Tokyo is already displayed there.
"Ehm, our mansion is around here, Minato City." Erina told innocently without feeling anything wrong.
"So, we are already close. Sir Mitsuzuka, Sir Kenji, this is just my opinion. You should increase your mansion"s security from various unforeseen possibilities, including the unseen. I heard that in Tokyo, a prominent clan is skilled in supernatural things. Would you like a little help from them?" Elysia tapped her smartphone screen once again. She looked for some information and did some other things.
"Taira Clan, hmm? I"ll consider it." Mitsuzuka put his hand on his chin, deep in thought.
A few minutes later, the entourage arrived at their destination safely. Everyone got out of the car, and Elysia moved Erina into a wheelchair.
"Excuse me, Sir Ryosei. Please bring Erina in." Elysia raised her hand for attention.
Erina was stunned for a moment after Elysia said that. She was reluctant to part now. "Eh? You need to leave right now, Ellie? Why don"t you come in first?"
"My apologies, but we can"t visit right now. We need to test the malicious threats. Ah, our taxi is already there. See you soon!" Elysia waved her hand and walked away towards the gate. Her taxi was already waiting on the other side of the road.
"Yeah, so it"s show time?" Xero rubbed his hands together as if something exciting was about to happen.
