Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Page 174

Shuul glanced at Mashu, and judging from the other's expression, it seemed that he didn't mind the boy's intrusion, but the boy didn't seem to notice.

The former couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Sure, the 'treatment' is over."

Xiuer answered the truth truthfully.

But what he didn't expect was that the boy, who was originally timid, had a huge reaction after hearing these words.

"Eh?! So fast?!"

"I remember you left not long ago, Xiuer!?"

The boy's fussing made Xiuer feel a little "noisy". The latter quickly moved away from the other party and at the same time lowered his own audio receiving power to reduce the volume he received.

“Ken…”

Shuul was about to speak, but Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly left the two of them behind and ran away quickly.

After leaving behind a sentence "You wait here, I'll go call someone!", he disappeared without a trace.

"..."

Seeing this, Xiuer slowly closed his mouth and looked at the direction where the other party disappeared with a puzzled look on his face.

After a few seconds, he turned around and looked at Mashu lying on the bed in the room. At this time, the girl's face was full of confusion and bewilderment about the current situation.

……

Chapter 10 is ready

“It actually ‘relieved’…”

Dr. Roman looked at the physical examination report on Mashu in his hand with surprise.

At this time, it was already an hour after Shul had performed "treatment" on Mashu.

After Fujimaru Ritsuka ran away, Shule and Mashu were really waiting for the other party to bring another person, who was always concerned about Mashu's health and was also Shule's client for this "treatment operation" - Dr. Roman.

Da da da--!

Roman and Fujimaru Ritsuka came running over. The former did not stop when he arrived here. He quickly found Shul and asked him about the details. After listening to Shul's description, he immediately arranged for Mashu to go to the infirmary for a comprehensive examination.

Mashu had no objection to this. After all, she was also curious about how her body had recovered.

But in Xiuer's opinion, these people's actions were too "impatient".

After all, Xiuer's "efficiency" is about an orderly process, not this kind of situation where several people are so impatient, as if someone is chasing them from behind.

Besides, you guys are clearly still preparing to "repair" the sixth singularity, so how can you spare anyone to examine Mashu?

After all, although it can be monitored directly through equipment, before that, human hands are still needed to operate the equipment.

So, with this doubt in mind, Shuul followed them all the way to the infirmary in Chaldea.

He looked at Mashu lying in the equipment, but there was no "staff" around. It seemed that Roman did not call on others to help.

In other words, Roman has to do it alone?

It seems that he cares very much about Matthew's health.

Xiuer stood quietly in the corner of the infirmary, observing everything in the room.

Only after connecting all the testing equipment to Mashu did Roman suddenly come to Shul and ask him for help.

"...?"

In response, Shuul directly gave a "?" without any hesitation.

Why go to all that trouble when I can check it myself with my eyes and I've already done the scan.

This is what Xiuer thought and said.

However, Roman rejected the idea of having Shul directly "report the results".

It’s not that he doesn’t believe Xuer. After all, if he didn’t believe him, he wouldn’t have asked Xuer for help. The reason he did this was simply because he wanted to witness the specific “data” of Matthew’s body with his own eyes.

It was not until the test report came out that Roman couldn't help but say what he had just said.

"..."

Xiuer stood beside Roman with his arms folded across his chest, somewhat speechless.

After all, in his opinion, the other party's behavior was a complete waste of time.

And wasn’t it because you believed I could do it that you commissioned me? Why are you so surprised now that I’ve completed it?

"Cough cough!"

Facing Xiuer's piercing gaze, Roman knew that what he said was not right.

"Please don't misunderstand me. I do believe in Ms. Xiuer's ability. I'm just surprised that you were able to "complete" it so quickly."

That's more than just "fast", you just commissioned it a second ago, and you told me that it was solved a few minutes later.

This is something everyone would subconsciously doubt, right? !

Roman sighed in his heart at Xiuer's "efficiency".

But if Xuer knew what Roman was thinking of writing at this moment, he would definitely choose to refute him.

After all, he had indeed met such a person who had never doubted him and trusted him unconditionally.

"..."

Xiuer remained silent, just quietly observing Roman's back.

At this moment, the other party was still immersed in the surprise of "the data is completely consistent".

"Inquiring, is this true?"

"Ah, it's just as you said. Mashu's physical condition has improved significantly. She's now as healthy as she was three years ago."

In the Chaldea archives, there are Mash's previous physical examination reports, and Roman, her attending physician, has memorized the records of every physical examination.

Of course, the "data" from three years ago was still a bit exaggerated. In fact, Roman only discovered it based on his impression and retrieved the files from that year for comparison.

That's why Roman seemed particularly surprised.

Because Mashu's situation is more like experiencing a "time reversal" for her body than "treatment relief".

After all, even some of Mashu's "little problems" from three years ago were "recovered", and even these "symptoms" were exactly the same as they were back then!

Thinking of this, Roman regained his composure and then noticed the gaze that had been fixed on his back.

At this moment, besides him, Xiuer was the only one in the house. He knew who this gaze came from without anyone saying it.

Roman slowly turned his head and met the eyes of the "amber" pair.

"..."

Xiuer was silent, or rather, Xiuer was a "silent" person most of the time. Roman had hardly ever seen him before and took the initiative to bring up a topic with him.

In Roman's impression, after Shul came to Chaldea, except for occasionally "challenging" servants to "fight", the rest of the time he was alone, wandering around Chaldea with nothing to do.

The other party has not even had a "rest", wandering around 24 hours a day, randomly refreshing in various corners of Chaldea.

It even caused some servants in Chaldea who were childish at heart to mistakenly believe that there were scary mechanical dolls haunting the night.

Of course, these "rumors" all originated when Shule first arrived.

There was no further news until he had traveled all over Chaldea for two days and got acquainted with all the Chaldean servants.

Roman shook his head, retracting his subconsciously wandering thoughts.

Facing Xiuer's gaze, the young man didn't know what to say for a moment.

The opponent's "power" is still unknown. In addition to the strange spatial power of "traveling through the world of time", there is also this ability that seems to be related to "time".

Roman thought a lot about this "puppet" who called himself Shuul and claimed to be a creation of God, but he could never come up with a reasonable answer.

But the "truth" is no longer important to Roman.

Because it can be seen that Xuel really treats them as "companions".

Moreover, the more the other party revealed about his strength, the more assured Roman became about his attitude towards him.

After all, with such a powerful and efficient character, if one wanted to harm Chaldea, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

Roman took a deep breath, as if trying to decide what to say.

"Thank you so much for what you did for Mashu..."

"I'm just sorry. This was originally a commission from my own 'personal will,' but in the end, I didn't get anything in return that matched it."

Having said that, Roman showed a wry smile on his face, as if he was powerless.

He was telling the truth.

Neither he personally nor the current Chaldea has the ability to offer "rewards". All they can offer now is verbal thanks.

The issue of "remuneration" should have been "negotiated" before the commission was made, and should not be brought up after the matter was completed.

"..."

Xiuer listened to Roman's story silently and felt puzzled by the other party's "apology".

Because in his view, treating Mashu before "departing" is considered "eliminating hidden dangers", and he would not care even if there is no so-called "reward".

Besides, there is really nothing in Chaldea that Shul would like.

Rather, it could be said that Xiuer had already acquired everything that interested him long before.

Although he had thought a lot, facing Roman's "apology", Xuer would not really give no response at all. At least the other person's sincerity was not false.

"No, no need to apologize. I've already received Chaldea's 'reward'."

"Was it when I gave you a tour of the facility earlier?"

Roman could understand what Xuer said. After all, the other party's purpose was too strong and it was hard not to guess.

"affim."

"..."

Looking into those golden eyes that, as always, showed no emotion, the pressure in Roman's heart instantly dissipated.

"what--"

The orange-haired young man let out a long sigh, finally returning from his previous "serious" state to the "relaxed" state he had been in when Xuel first met him.

His legs suddenly loosened and his body fell backward onto the chair in the infirmary.

The serious atmosphere vanished, and the casualness emanating from Roman instantly filled the entire room.

Mashu was still sleeping peacefully in bed. Although it was just a routine physical examination, Roman still suggested that she rest for a while on the bed in the infirmary. After all, no one would come back to disturb her.

"Speaking of which..."

After finishing the serious topic, Roman suddenly remembered something. He looked at Xiuer's hand and spoke casually.

"What was that 'gunshot' earlier?"

In addition to Ritsuka Fujimaru, Roman also heard the noise caused by Shul's "treatment".

"..."

Xuul did not explain, but simply constructed a red flintlock rifle with gold edges in front of Roman.

The meaning is clear.

Roman's mouth twitched.

He still remembered the experience that Mashu had just told him.

"Is this how you "heal" Mashu?"

"..."

Xiuer nodded silently, and then immediately shook his head.
