Poverty makes me capable of anything.

After seeing the durations of various debuffs such as [dizziness], [burning], [hallucination], and [exhaustion], Anran poured a bucket of ice water on Erin.

"Let me cool you down!"

Erin slowly woke up.

She was still a little confused when she woke up. Although the dizziness had subsided, the world in front of her was still fragmented.

Even the events that happened not long ago are somewhat unclear.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

Erin moved her hands and feet and then realized that she was tied up.

They were bound so tightly that they could not escape at all.

"Where am I...?"

She struggled to lift her head.

Before them were two figures tightly wrapped in tan clothes, and beside them were the figures of the two pirates.

As for herself, she felt weak all over, her chest and abdomen were burning hot as if she had a cold, her body was wet, and her clothes had become semi-transparent.

"Can I ask you a few questions?" An Ran asked after her voice changed.

"Who are you?" Erin shook her dizzy head.

“Who I am is not important.” An Ran poked Erin’s face with a rather thick stick and asked, seemingly puzzled, “I remember you said before that you weren’t Sheila and that you were faking it. But I checked you when you were unconscious just now, and this face and this body are completely original!”

Ella glared at him: "Liar, you dare to say you're not Sheila!"

Anran cooperated and poked it.

Erin's expression changed: "It's you!"

She finally regained some of her senses.

It's the person who contacted her earlier, and also someone from another time!

She recognized both of those mechs!

"Transcendental..."

"So you knew all along."

Erin kept a straight face, but regained her composure: "I already said I'm not Sheila. If she were really here, how could she be so calm knowing you're from beyond the timeline?"

“What if it’s an act?” Ella said.

“That’s right.” An Ran nodded. “I’m a very cautious person. If you can’t give me a clear answer, I’ll treat you like Shira.”

This won't do! Absolutely not!

Erin said in a low voice, "Go ahead and ask."

Next up is a question-and-answer game between Anran and Erin.

"who are you?"

Erin.

"What?"

"I previously worked in the laboratory of the Hundred Wood Pirates, where I was responsible for researching void creatures."

"?"

"As a researcher, how come you are so strong? I think even Bessadin might not be able to compare to you."

"These are the results of my research. If you'd like to know more, I can spend a few days discussing them with you."

"..."

Forget it.

"Next question, what's going on with your appearance?"

"This is also related to research. The reason I came out in this form is to find the location of Sheila and the others."

"So this face is surgically altered?"

"That's about right."

"What did you look like before?"

This is... a problem that's a little hard to talk about.

Seeing Erin remain silent, An Ran swung her right hand and swiftly tapped the two pirates beside her with her large stick.

The two people also woke up in a daze.

"I'll continue asking you, what's your relationship with Sheila?"

"Because of her, I was almost killed and had to hide everywhere."

An Ran nodded: "You mentioned before that Sheila was injected with an extract of the Void Demon and turned into a monster. Could you elaborate on that?"

"This was an experiment. She stopped, and thus gained a portion of the Void Demon's power."

"include?"

"Speed, strength, and powerful regenerative abilities, and perhaps the ability to use that purple mist."

Do you know why they came here to get the metal plaque?

Erin shook her head.

"Let me rewind a bit. Sheila was taken away by Erwin of the Hundred Wood Pirates. What is your relationship with Erwin?"

"..."

This……

Erin's expression changed slightly, and she quickly said, "I'm Erwin's assistant!"

"Ok?"

An Ran narrowed her eyes.

Erin's change in expression did not escape her notice.

This means Erin is lying.

Everything was fine before, but something went wrong when I asked this question.

An Ran turned her gaze to the other two pirates: "Did you hear what I just asked?"

"I heard it, I heard it," the second son nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"What she said..."

"It's all true, it's all true."

Why can't I believe you?

An Ran's lips twitched, she pointed the big stick at him, and made a fierce face.

The most ruthless of them all is Ella.

The face, completely hidden by the hood and collar, could only be seen as those eyes suddenly gleaming with a golden light.

Gurgle.

"It seems you're not planning to cooperate properly. In that case, I'll let you combine your powers."

"Combined?"

"It's the kind of assembly that does reciprocating mechanical motion."

An Ran's explanation made the three tied-up people understand immediately.

"No, no, no, this won't do, this absolutely won't do." The second brother shook his head like a rattle drum.

What a joke! Combining might feel great for a moment, but you'll be ascending to heaven afterward.

Moreover, just thinking about it...

Uh, I have some psychological barriers.

Let me tell you, don't be fooled by her pretty face, her penis might be bigger than yours.

Another pirate was even more exaggerated, his face turning deathly pale, as if he had seen a ghost: "We'll cooperate, cooperate, really."

Erin's expression was also quite unpleasant.

Combining? Are you kidding me?

Although new tools have been developed and desires have changed, but... (the rest of the text is incomplete and cannot be translated accurately.)

“I’m telling the truth!” she exclaimed.

An Ran looked at the pirates suspiciously: "You're afraid she'll settle scores later, right? That's not a problem. I'll just arrest her and release you."

The second son shook his head again: "No, no, no, that's not the point."

"What is that?" An Ran asked, puzzled.

"Actually..." the second son looked a little shy, "actually, I have a problem with my function."

"!!!"

An Ran was shocked!

“Then…” she turned to look at another pirate.

The pirate nodded vigorously, "Me too, me too."

"..."

These days, even pirate-themed features are malfunctioning?

"If you're sick, you need to get treatment," An Ran sighed.

“But this time it’s no problem!” An Ran thought of a good idea. “Although I’m not a doctor, I have a way. I’ll have a robot wrap around you and make a mechanical structure so you can stand up and then you can merge!”

The second son's face also turned deathly pale.

He stared at An Ran, who was speaking fluently.
