Collapse Iron Cosplay Battle Damaged Star Spinal Cut - Everyone Cries to Death

Xing was awakened by hunger.

"Sizzle..."

He opened his eyes, his golden pupils somewhat unfocused.

The previous anesthetic had only given her the time it took to doze off.

The physical repair process was extremely taxing; the reattached ulna bone had almost drained all of her energy reserves.

Now, she feels like a thin sheet of paper, floating aimlessly.

So hungry.

I want to eat something.

Just then.

A strange "fragrance" entered her nostrils.

Xing's eyes lit up instantly.

"woke up?"

Himeko walked to the bedside, moving very quietly, as if afraid of disturbing something.

Looking at Xing's eyes, which were staring intently at the bowl, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

This bowl... um... stuff.

Walter said that this was the only "nutritional meal" that the child could absorb after calculation.

but……

Himeko's stomach churned at the pungent chemical smell.

Is this really something for humans to eat?

"child……"

Himeko picked up the bowl, her hand holding the spoon trembling slightly.

"It might... taste terrible."

"If you don't like it, please don't force yourself. Just spit it out, okay?"

Himeko's voice was as gentle as water.

"Let's think of other ways... we'll find one..."

however.

Before she could finish speaking...

A bandaged hand reached out impatiently.

Xing sat up straight.

Her gaze was fixed on the bowl of "cement".

[Scan complete]

【Ingredients: High-energy mineral mixture】

[Calorie Value: Extremely High]

Organic impurities: 0%

[Rating: Perfect fuel.]

Without the slightest hesitation.

Xing's intact right hand steadily took the scalding hot porcelain bowl.

烫？

I can't worry about that now.

"Buzz... (Thank you.)"

A rapid chirping sound came from Xing's throat.

Under the shocked gazes of Himeko and Mitsukishiro.

Xing was like a refugee who had been starving for three days and three nights.

She buried her face in the bowl.

"Gulp—Gulp—"

in one breath.

A whole bowl of "high-energy cement," weighing a full two kilograms.

Less than ten seconds.

She drank it all up, even licking the bottom clean.

"ha……"

Clang.

The cleaned-up empty bowl was placed back on the tray.

Clean and spotless, gleaming and shiny.

No need to wash it at all.

Xing raised her head, and her previously somewhat dim golden eyes lit up again.

She looked at the people gathered around the bed.

I want to express my gratitude.

"Sizzle... (It's delicious, thank you.)"

An electric current sound came from his throat.

She nodded politely, even managing to force a satisfied smile at the corners of her mouth.

however.

The scene that everyone expected to breathe a sigh of relief did not occur.

The entire medical ward fell into a deathly silence.

March 7th stood there, covering his mouth with both hands, his eyes wide open.

Tears were welling up in her eyes.

Himeko's hands, holding the tray, were trembling slightly.

She looked at the bowl that had been licked clean.

Then I looked at Xing's face, which showed a satisfied, happy, and even grateful expression.

My heart is broken.

It's completely shattered.

"……Is it tasty?"

On March 7th, she finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked a question with a tearful voice.

Xing nodded vigorously.

Really delicious!

It's high in calories and has a satisfying texture; this is the meal of her dreams!

"Waaaaaahh ...

"How could this happen..."

"That stuff tastes awful... that cement-like stuff..."

"She actually...ate with such relish..."

"What kind of life did she lead before?!"

The cries of March 7th echoed in the room, each word like a knife piercing everyone's heart.

"They actually...they even licked the bottom of the bowl clean..."

"Waaaaah... So pitiful... Xing is so pitiful..."

Himeko took a deep breath, tilted her head back, and forced back her tears.

She is an adult.

She can't cry.

but……

Looking at that child, he still had that satisfied smile on his face.

That kind of heartache was even more painful than killing her.

"This child..."

Walter took off his glasses and wiped away non-existent fog from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

star:"???"

She stared blankly at March 7, who was crying uncontrollably, and then at Himeko and Walter, who looked grief-stricken.

What's wrong?

Did I eat too fast?

Or should I not have licked the bowl?

Doesn't that seem too greedy?

Xing was a little flustered.

Did she embarrass the train crew?

After all, this is the elegant Starry Sky Train, and everyone here is a civilized person; we should eat slowly and chew our food properly.

"Ugh... (Sorry.)"

Xing lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her clothes.

I shouldn't have been so greedy.

I shouldn't have licked the bowl so clean.

Next time... I'll definitely save some next time.

Looking at her cautious and apologetic appearance.

Himeko could no longer hold back.

She put down the tray, rushed over, and pulled Jiang Xing into her arms.

"Don't apologize..."

Himeko's voice choked with sobs.

"Silly child...you don't need to apologize..."

"It's our fault...this is all we can give you..."

"after……"

"Eat as much as you want, all you can eat."

"Even if we have to dismantle the train's fuel tanks... I'll still make sure you're well-fed!"

Hoshi leaned against Himeko's chest and blinked.

Enough?

really?

Her eyes lit up instantly.

That's great!

The bowl I just ate was delicious, but the portion was a bit small; it probably only had about 30% charge.

Her rib, which hasn't fully healed yet, is still aching slightly.

If only some more...

Hoshi peeked out from Himeko's arms and held up the empty alloy bowl in her hand.

Those golden eyes were filled with undisguised anticipation.

She held up one finger and pointed to her ribs.

There, two ribs had cracked from the previous battle and hadn't fully healed yet.

The current energy... is only enough to maintain basic operations.

More is needed to repair the bone.

"Sizzle... (Um... could I have another bowl?)"

The star sent out a signal asking a question.

"I want to... get my ribs repaired."

however.

This action was noticed by Himeko and Mitsuki.

But it took on a different meaning.

—I'm still hungry.

—I'm not full yet.

—Could you…be a little more generous to me?

That kind of humble, cautious begging.

That look in their eyes, as if they were afraid of being rejected.

"Whoa—!!!"

On March 7th, she could no longer hold back and turned to throw herself into Danheng's arms as he entered the room, bursting into tears.

"Give it to her! Give it all to her!!"

"Bring all the pots and pans here!!!"

Dan Heng: "...?"
