Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

Along with the excruciating pain from the impact, there was also the noise caused by falling to the ground.

The two people who were talking to each other were suddenly drawn to the noise coming from the bedside.

This drew their attention to the boy who had fallen to the ground, his body wrapped in medical bandages.

Faced with the stares of those two figures, the boy named Ajax remained silent for a moment before considering whether he should try to greet them.

"Um... I think I'm almost fully recovered and don't need any more surgery..."

Ajax, trying hard to act as if nothing had happened, was attempting to prove this point.

But it was obvious when he tried to prove it.

His own uncoordinated body betrayed him once again, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.

He lay sprawled on the ground in a twisted position, looking up at the two figures standing in the room, and chuckled twice.

"It's nothing, I'm very healthy, I don't need any surgery at all."

Although that's what he said, his disheveled appearance, crawling on the ground, made his words far less convincing.

Seeing Ajax's stubborn refusal to admit anything, Pantalone, one of the parties involved, looked at Ajax and added a comment to Dotole in front of him.

"As expected, surgery is the best option."

"No! I'm fine! I don't want surgery! Please believe me! Everything I've said is true! Look how healthy I am!"

Upon hearing what Pantalone said, Ajax, who had been trying to appear indifferent, suddenly became extremely agitated.

It was as if it was desperately resisting the idea of ​​having surgery, thrashing about on the ground like a stressed duck.

This extremely agitated reaction made Pantalone begin to suspect what the "Doctor" had done to him that caused the future "Prince" Tartaglia to become the way he is now.

Could it be that she was traumatized during the surgery?

Watching Ajax wriggle and thrash, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Dotole and ask him a question.

"What exactly did you do to him that made him like this?"

"It's nothing much, just making the best use of the excellent materials a little bit."

Dotole spread his hands and shrugged.

It seemed as if it really wasn't anything to be surprised about, just as he said, but after seeing Ajax's stressful reaction, one couldn't help but doubt the extent to which he said it was nothing serious.

Unfortunately, Pantalone had no idea what this supposedly insignificant matter was all about.

After glancing at Ajax, who were still struggling, he ultimately chose not to press further and instead changed the subject.

"Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now."

"Actually, there's something else I want to discuss with you. It's about the two candidates I've provided. I'm planning to borrow them temporarily, since you know I'm not like other people and I don't have any top-notch talent at my disposal."

"After seeing the power possessed by the 'fusion warriors' who underwent the modification surgery, I had some thoughts, so I specifically wanted to ask if your current research progress would make it convenient for me to temporarily take these two people with me."

"I plan to have them help me with some tasks."

Pantalone's words drew the attention of Ajax, who was still struggling on the ground.

This caused him, who was already experiencing a stress response to the "Doctor's" experimental surgery, to first show confusion in his eyes upon hearing this.

"Task?"

In response to Ajax's question, Pantalone glanced at Ajax on the ground and gave a nonchalant reply.

"That's how it is. I believe I don't need to explain anything further to you, do I?"

"Of course, this is on the premise that you have recovered from your injuries first. I have no intention of letting a useless person who can't even stand up do the tasks I assign."

Hearing this, Ajax felt a little embarrassed, but then his heart turned to excitement.

For him, nothing is more exciting than carrying out a mission.

Staying with the Fools is not bad, but it's still a little bit less interesting than a real battle.

In contrast, participating in missions issued by the Fools' Enforcers would undoubtedly ignite Ajax's ecstasy and excitement far more than being a raw recruit in the training camp.

After saying these words, Pantalone turned his gaze back to the "Doctor" in front of him and asked him the same question.

"So, what do you think of my request and idea?"

Just when Pantalone thought that this matter would probably be very troublesome to obtain, Doctor Dottore did not refuse, but simply smiled and said.

"It's not a big deal, my friend. In fact, I've done almost all the surgeries I can with my skills regarding 'fusion warriors'. For me, the data I collect is the most important thing."

“There is no point in keeping these experimental subjects until a higher level of breakthrough is achieved. In the end, this level of ‘testing’ cannot meet my needs.”

"For me, I need more experimental data to support the next step of the experiment. After all, only weapons that can be used can be called weapons, right?"

Pantalone did not refute Dottoré's words.

After all, for him, the 'Light Realm Creature Fusion Warrior Project' was originally intended to be used as a weapon, and serving other projects was simply part of the plan.

As for the 'weapon' itself, as long as the 'weapon' has enough power, that's enough; everything else is unimportant.

"Then, I'll have to trouble you."

Pantalone nodded slightly to the "Doctor".
