Sister Toosaka Rin
Page 182
Toosaka Kiyoshi turned around and casually greeted him: "Hey, are you off work?"
Medusa nodded. The term "off work" was taught to her by Kiyoshi Toosaka. It was said that this was the term in his hometown and it was more colloquial than the previous words that described the same meaning.
"What's the matter?" Toosaka Kiyoshi asked again.
Medusa didn't know why she suddenly called out to Tosaka Kiyoshi, so she had to think of a question on the spur of the moment: "What are you going to do?"
Tosaka Kiyoshi asked back, "Is this a check-up? Can't you do your own things after get off work?"
Medusa immediately shook her head: "I just saw that you were walking so fast, as if you were in a hurry, so I just asked casually... Well, just asked casually. It's okay if you don't answer."
Tousaka Kiyoshi said casually, "I had something to do outside the city and had to be back before dark, so I walked a little faster."
Toosaka Kiyoshi didn't explain in detail, which made Medusa feel a little disappointed, but Toosaka Kiyoshi couldn't explain it to her in detail because he had to go outside the city to experiment with the elixir of immortality. How could he possibly tell her such a thing?
"Well...if you have something urgent to do, go and do it."
Medusa waved her hand in disappointment, and Toosaka Kiyoshi didn't think too much about it and turned away, because Medusa had been in a negative mood these days.
Medusa returned home in a depressed mood. She was not in the mood to eat dinner. She lay down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
When she woke up again, the moon was already high in the sky.
She looked at the night sky outside the window for a while, and suddenly she had the idea of taking a walk outside the Acropolis, and the idea became more and more unstoppable.
Kiyoshi Toosaka should have returned home by now, and she didn't go out of town to "accidentally meet" Kiyoshi Toosaka.
She has already decided that if she meets Poseidon again tomorrow, she will agree to his pursuit.
So she just wanted to indulge herself and enjoy this last night of freedom before she became Poseidon's property.
The city was dark at night and no one was seen on the streets. Medusa walked lightly on the ground in the bright moonlight. Perhaps because she was leaving the city, she felt quite relaxed.
There was no nightlife in this era, and the whole city fell into sleep at night.
Because of the protection of the gods, the few city gate guards on duty at night would gather together out of boredom and kill time with the simple entertainment methods of that era.
The relaxed guards didn't even notice Medusa tiptoeing out of the city. Only after she was far away from the city gate did Medusa breathe a sigh of relief.
The gatekeepers were usually very respectful when they saw her, but at this moment she was like a thief and did not dare to disturb them. It was really a novel and exciting experience.
After arriving in the wilderness outside the city, Medusa suddenly became confused and didn't know where to go.
A gust of cold wind blew, making Medusa shiver.
She suddenly realized that the city wall was built to protect the residents from wild beasts. If she, a weak woman, walked out of this barrier at night and encountered a ferocious wild beast, wouldn’t she be dead?
However, even after thinking of this, Medusa did not feel the slightest fear or retreat.
Maybe she was born to love excitement, or maybe she had already realized this problem but just subconsciously ignored it.
As for why?
Perhaps in her heart she was also hoping that a wild beast would end her life. As long as her life ended today, she would no longer have to worry about the future.
After realizing that she was subconsciously seeking death, Medusa smiled and walked towards the nearby mountains without hesitation.
On this night that belonged to her alone, she decided to spend it in the wild. If she could survive until tomorrow morning, it would mean that it was God's will and even fate made her submit to Poseidon, so she would no longer resist.
If she died in the wild, she wouldn't have to think about those annoying things from now on.
After deciding to leave her future to fate, Medusa's figure gradually disappeared into the mountains and forests.
In the forest at night, the towering trees blocked the moonlight. In the darkness, Medusa had to walk carefully.
From time to time, there was a rustling noise coming from the surrounding bushes, which combined with the incessant chirping of insects to form a melody that made people alert and nervous.
Under the influence of the atmosphere, Medusa gradually began to feel timid, but she still gritted her teeth and walked deeper into the forest.
Suddenly, a roar of a giant beast came from not far away, and Medusa's legs suddenly became soft, as if nailed into the ground, unable to move.
Then, there came a continuous sound of footsteps mixed with the sound of fur rubbing against plants while running, and it was approaching at a very fast speed.
Just by the noise, one could tell it was a giant beast, and knocking her down was like knocking down a chick.
Medusa closed her eyes in despair. Facing the threat of death, although she had given up struggling, she did not regret it.
After her death, the temple would be responsible for taking care of her parents, so she had nothing to worry about.
The huge beast rushed out of the woods, and the strong wind it brought blew on Medusa's cheek. In a trance, Medusa seemed to smell the strong smell of blood in the beast's mouth.
At the last moment of her life, what Medusa thought of was Kiyoshi Toosaka who had hurriedly left the temple entrance this afternoon.
That young man who was as warm as the sunshine might be the only regret in her life.
……
As Toosaka Kiyoshi expected, the latest version of the elixir of immortality he refined today failed again.
This time, Toosaka Kiyoshi learned from his previous failure and added a new function to the elixir of immortality: completely merging the soul and body of the person taking the drug, ensuring that the previous situation where the body died but the soul was still alive would not occur.
However, new problems arose. The body that was perfectly integrated with the soul did not die after being cut into pieces. There was a part of the soul in each piece of the flesh. The cut soul was also alive under the effect of the elixir of immortality and was still able to perfectly control its own body.
But the scene at that time was too weird. The rabbit meat that was cut into several pieces escaped under the control of the soul, but only the four legs ran fast, and the other body parts remained in place.
This was completely different from the scene that Kiyoshi Toosaka had imagined, and it was even quite terrifying.
It is worth mentioning that the elixir of immortality is already quite excellent in terms of being difficult to kill. In terms of the effect of immortality alone, attacks below the concept level cannot kill the life that has taken the elixir of immortality.
Although Tousaka Kiyoshi has not conducted any experiments, he feels that even if the rabbit today is divided evenly into countless parts, with each part having only one cell or even one molecule, the rabbit will not die.
The "indestructible" property of the elixir of immortality comes from filth, which means that after taking the elixir of immortality, the person taking it will be infected with the smell of filth.
But it is limited to the breath and will not be contaminated by filth.
It's like someone has used a strong perfume. Although the scent of the perfume is all over his body, his internal body is not contaminated by the perfume.
After losing its "indestructible" characteristic, filth also became destructible. Although it is immune to most physical attacks like an energy body, the humans in this world can deal with it themselves as long as the method is correct.
At least the immortal cultivation system that has become popular in the East can do it.
After destroying the failed rabbit meat that was left there, when Kiyoshi Toosaka went to chase the escaped rabbit legs and destroy them, a bear passed by Kiyoshi Toosaka's original location and was naturally possessed by the filth.
After smelling Medusa, the bear roared and then ran towards Medusa.
Kiyoshi Toosaka discovered the bear possessed by filth, but didn't care.
Compared to the filth that can be eliminated, those "immortal" rabbit legs are more important. Who knows what kind of mutations will occur to other animals after eating the immortal rabbit legs.
However, he then discovered that the bear's target was Medusa.
Although he didn't know why Medusa appeared here late at night, Kiyoshi Toosaka immediately chose to save Medusa.
The Rabbit Legs are just a few mutant creatures, but Medusa's is about Athena's gratitude.
So, when the bear was about to knock Medusa down, a fist came across the space and knocked the bear unconscious.
Then, before the bear hit the ground, Kiyoshi Toosaka quickly stabbed it with a knife, killing the bear and destroying the filth at the same time, and put the bear's body into the death record space.
At this time, Medusa was still standing there trembling, waiting for death to come, without even opening her eyes.
Seeing this, Kiyoshi Toosaka rolled his eyes, and after coming up with a plan, he walked up to Medusa and flicked her forehead with his finger.
Medusa, feeling the pain, subconsciously opened her eyes, only to see the figure of Toosaka Kiyoshi.
Medusa said blankly: "Before dying, even wild beasts will hallucinate as him, I really am..."
Tosaka Kiyoshi flicked Medusa's head again: "What beast? I am who I am. What on earth is going on in your head?"
"Ouch~" Medusa subconsciously covered her forehead, then she realized that the person in front of her was really Toosaka Kiyoshi.
After surviving the disaster, Medusa met a boy she liked and she immediately felt the happiness and sweetness.
"Why are you here? Where is the beast that just ran over?" Medusa asked with the corners of her mouth rising unconsciously.
Toosaka Kiyoshi said unhappily, "I was asking you, what are you doing here so late at night? And there aren't any wild animals here."
"impossible!"
"Did you see that? I saw you had your eyes closed just now."
"I, I heard it!" Medusa said firmly.
"That was my imitation. When I saw you, I wanted to scare you, so I imitated the roar of a bear. Who knew you were so scared that you couldn't move at all, even closed your eyes, and looked like you were waiting to die."
After Tousaka Kiyoshi said this, Medusa also began to doubt her hearing.
"Really? You can imitate it so well?"
"This is a hunting technique used by hunters in our hometown. If they encounter an animal that is too powerful, they will imitate the calls of a more powerful animal to scare it away. If you don't believe me, I'll imitate it again."
As Kiyoshi Toosaka spoke, he began to imitate the roar of a bear. Hearing the lifelike sound, Medusa had no choice but to believe what Kiyoshi Toosaka said.
"Your hometown still has this technique, but what if the imitation of the cry by this method attracts a more powerful beast?"
Toosaka Kiyoshi spread his hands: "Then you can only wait for death. Fighting those ferocious beasts requires some luck."
"Then will your scream just now..."
"Don't worry, I've confirmed that there are no large carnivores nearby."
"That's good."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Why are you running into the mountains so late at night instead of sleeping? Don't you know it's dangerous here? What if you really encounter a bear?"
Medusa, who was scolded by Tousaka Kiyoshi, first lowered her head as if to admit her mistake, and then raised her head belatedly.
"Aren't you here too? You lied to me about returning to the city before dark. What are you doing in the mountains at night?"
Tousaka Kiyoshi answered without hesitation: "Hunting. The animal skins are very valuable."
"You can hunt?"
"Of course. In my hometown, only hunters will deliberately practice the ability to imitate animal calls."
Before Medusa had time to wonder why the son of a merchant would learn hunting skills, Tosaka Kiyoshi asked, "I've already answered your questions. What about you? What are you doing here?"
Chapter 205 The Girl's Last Daily Life
Originally, Medusa had no intention of telling Tousaka Kiyoshi about her troubles, but after meeting him by chance in the wild tonight, she felt as if this was God's will, so she frankly told him about her troubles and the purpose of her going out tonight.
Of course, in order not to worry Kiyoshi Toosaka, she did not say that she was subconsciously seeking death and liberation. She just said that she planned to accept the pursuit of the sea god tomorrow, so she wanted to indulge herself on the last night.
Toosaka Kiyoshi knew Medusa's future tragedy, and kindly comforted her: "It's a good thing to be able to marry a god. Maybe in the future, there will be a place for you in the temples that people worship."
Kiyoshi Toosaka's reaction made Medusa feel a little bitter. As expected, Kiyoshi Toosaka had no feelings for her in any romantic way.
However, she also knew that she did not have any deep feelings for Kiyoshi Toosaka. It was only because she had been harassed by the God of the Sea recently, and coupled with the escape route mentioned by the high priest, that she often thought of Kiyoshi Toosaka.
Medusa shook her head, sweeping away the bitterness and depression, and then asked with interest: "Have you been hunting after get off work?"
Toosaka Kiyoshi nodded. In order to have fresh meat at any time, there were many corpses of wild animals in the death record space, so he could still pretend to be a hunter.
"Can you teach me then?"
Tousaka Kiyoshi hesitated and said, "Well, isn't it a bad idea for a girl to learn hunting?"
Medusa waved her hand and said, "I'm not planning on learning it. Just think of it as a whim. I'll teach you casually. I won't mention it again after tomorrow."
Because she regarded tonight as her last moment of freedom, Medusa wanted to leave some special memories.
"Okay then." Toosaka Qing nodded, "You don't have the relevant tools with you, so hunting directly is impossible. Then we can use traps."
"How to do it exactly?"
Afterwards, under the command of Kiyoshi Toosaka, Medusa set a trap to capture prey. When everything was ready, she took the girl and hid in the bushes on the side of the road.
"This is for you." Kiyoshi Tousaka took out a wooden bottle and handed it to Medusa.
Medusa was afraid of disturbing her prey, so she lowered her voice and asked, "What is this?"
"Some plant juices can be applied to the skin to repel mosquitoes. There are a lot of small insects in the wild, especially in bushes like this."
Hearing this, Medusa happily opened the bottle and sniffed it: "It tastes good."
As he spoke, he poured the plant juice in the bottle into his palm and applied it to his exposed skin. Toosaka Kiyoshi also took out the same bottle and symbolically touched himself twice.
Seeing that Tosaka Kiyoshi still had some, Medusa tentatively asked, "Are plants that produce this juice rare? Can I trade something for a bottle with you?"
Tosaka Kiyoshi shook his head: "No, I'll give this bottle to you."
Medusa was delighted: "Then I won't be polite."
Poseidon gave her so many gifts in pursuit of her, but she was not as happy as receiving this little gift.
