I really didn't want to burn it.

Li Ang reached out his hand to Ryougi Shiki's chest.

He believed that no girl with initiative would let someone take advantage of her for nothing, especially since this woman's name was Ryougi Shiki.

Unfortunately, Li Ang had only stretched out halfway when the ward door opened.

"what are you doing?"

Yanmu Qiulong questioned.

"Um... help her cover herself with the blanket."

Li Ang naturally shifted his hand's focus, moving the blanket over the girl up a bit.

The bald doctor nodded repeatedly: "This one..."

"My name is Li Ang."

"Yes, Mr. Li Ang, it's really kind of you to take such good care of Miss Ryougi. I'll need your guidance in the future."

"Please give me your guidance."

"From now on, you'll be Miss Ryougi's caregiver," the bald doctor said. "Work hard!"

Li Ang looked at Yanmu Qiulong, trying to get a negative answer from him.

Akira Kenki said viciously, "Although I really want you to get lost, the young lady has a reaction to you! Listen to me carefully, when taking care of the young lady, you absolutely cannot have any dirty thoughts or methods! Otherwise, I'll fill you with cement and sink you into Tokyo Bay!"

You can send me there now, I'm not going to die anyway.

Li Ang's lips twitched violently; he realized he had dug himself into a hole again.

This is life, host.

The mourning system, as always, was gloating.

PS1: The most popular and well-known version of Sleeping Beauty is the one from Grimm's Fairy Tales, which is also the basis for the Disney animated film Sleeping Beauty.

However, going back further, the prototype of the Sleeping Beauty story is the story "The Sun, the Moon and Talia" in Gimbaldista Basil's "Pentameron".

Because this book was primarily written for royalty and adults, its content is extremely explicit and violent.

In the story, Talia (Sleeping Beauty) awoke not from the prince's kiss, but from the fact that he raped her, causing her to bear two children. One of the children then sucked on her finger, drawing away the flax that had put her to sleep, thus waking her. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

PS2: The Valentine's Day event storyline on the Japanese server is really interesting.

The ancestor of the gods gave Gudako a wolf, hoping that Gudako could freely pet this fluffy wolf that could whimper.

Odysseus simply sent Gudako to activate the Trojan Horse (Gundam).

Damn, even as a mecha fanatic, I'm so jealous through the screen... [○?｀Д?? ○]

The most interesting part was when C mentioned Gawain.

She said she had no good memories of Gawain.

He's tall, has good bloodlines, and is popular; he doesn't seem to have any worries. Then he repeated Gawain's height...

This is probably the first Artoria who cares about her height, right? ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Chapter 123 Li Ang: Come, Ryougi Shiki, let your brother read you a story.

In the end, Li Ang accepted the request from Kenki Akitaka to take care of Ryougi Shiki.

Of course, what Li Ang valued was not the considerable reward offered by Kenki Akiyuki, nor that Ryougi Shiki was a very beautiful young girl.

Hmm...maybe...

Anyway, Li Ang convinced himself that he also needed to stay by Ryougi Shiki's side to observe her, so as to understand the situation of this young lady's awakened Mystic Eyes as soon as possible.

According to the dirge system, due to Ryougi Shiki's multiple personalities and the uniqueness of her origin, whether she can ultimately awaken the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception remains in a Schrödinger's cat state.

But no matter what, Ryougi Shiki is indeed the person who can best meet Li Ang's expectations at present.

Although the condition for awakening the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception is that a person is infinitely close to death, not everyone who enters this state can awaken the eyes.

Otherwise, given the inhuman nature of magicians, they would have already tried to mass-produce these super-standard Mystic Eyes, and Roa wouldn't have gone through 17 reincarnations to obtain a half-baked Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

Well, in Li Ang's eyes, Roa's eyes were only half-baked.

Roa, who can only see living things and not inanimate objects, was not even in Li Ang's consideration; his CP buddy, Bulldozer, was more like that.

Unfortunately, Li Ang didn't know the exact time when the story of "Tsukihime" took place; otherwise, Takashi Tono, the bulldozer of Type-Moon, would have been a good backup option.

Based on what he knows so far—that Professor Nero—the Beast of 666 is still alive—Leon estimates that the story of "Tsukihime" has probably not yet taken place.

In conclusion, Li Ang could only stay in Kanbushi City for the time being, taking care of Ryougi Shiki while observing whether she showed any signs of opening her eyes.

If Ryougi Shiki still hasn't opened her eyes by the end, then Li Ang will have no choice but to go to Misaki Town to find Takashi the bulldozer.

Having made his choice, Li Ang obediently accepted the status quo, treating it as a vacation and rest in modern society.

From the night raid on his own Grand Preceptor's residence by Chaldea until now, Li Ang has been either running around, penetrating deep behind enemy lines, or fighting desperately against various enemies.

Having finally gotten a two-year vacation, and in an era where fried food and sugary drinks are plentiful, Li Ang naturally wanted to relax.

As for Ryougi Shiki, since Li Ang had promised Kenki Akihiro, he naturally took good care of her. Even if it wasn't meticulous, it was definitely very attentive.

She's a beautiful young woman after all, so Li Ang definitely won't be at a disadvantage.

During this period, Li Ang has basically stayed in Ryougi Shiki's ward, accompanying this "Sleeping Beauty".

I read to Ryougi Shiki and took her for a walk in the hospital courtyard.

He washed and combed Ryougi Shiki's hair and trimmed her nails;

He fed Ryougi Shiki and even bathed her...

Hmm... I really don't have that.

Although Akira Kenki entrusted Ryougi Shiki to Rion's care, matters concerning the girl's privacy, such as bathing, were still handled by a professional female caregiver.

Even when Li Ang is with Ryougi Shiki, he will have a caregiver stay by his side to keep an eye on things, so as to prevent this rascal Li Ang (from the perspective of Akira Kenki) from messing around with the young lady.

Li Ang was very disappointed by this and stuffed the Japanese edition of "○瓶梅" that he had specially found at a secondhand bookstore deep into his bag.

[So, host, you really are doing inhuman things.]

Even the Mourning System had to admit that its host always managed to pull off some unexpected and outrageous moves.

"You're being long-winded. I just think that if we add some excitement, she might have a better reaction."

Li Ang remained calm and composed, behaving like a true gentleman.

[Is the so-called stimulation simply about letting this young girl understand how Pan Jinlian maximized the use of the grape trellis?]

“No, no, no…” Li Ang shook his finger and said solemnly, “I’m just trying to help this girl understand the dark side of society. The metaphors in this part are the cultural essence of ‘The Plum in the Vase’.”

【…】

If it really wanted to complain, the system could speak, but faced with such a shameless host, it felt like it had something to say but couldn't.

Li Ang wasn't embarrassed at all. He opened the door to the ward and greeted Ryougi Shiki with a smile.

"Hey, young lady. Nice to meet you today too."

"..."

The girl named Ryougi Shiki stared blankly at the ceiling, almost unmoved by Li Ang's arrival.

Li Ang didn't pay much attention to this.

Even as an exception, Ryougi Shiki rarely showed any obvious reaction.

Ryougi Shiki will only "bite" when Li Ang's body parts are close to his mouth.

Because of this incident, Akira Kenki strictly forbade Ryougi Shiki from getting her head close to Ryougi Shiki's mouth, in order to prevent Ryougi Shiki from "tricking" her into kissing.

To this, Li Ang could only respond with "He—tui!"

Do you think of Li Guoshi as a virgin who just graduated from school?

And he even tricked me into kissing him?

If Li Ang were truly intent on being a scoundrel, he wouldn't have chosen such a low-down method as using his head; instead, he would have taken off his pants and exposed his head...

"Cough cough!"

Li Ang coughed heavily twice, banishing his filthy thoughts from his mind, and began another day of "nanny" work.

"Come on, open your mouth... Ahhhhh"

Li Ang gently placed the spoon into the girl's mouth.

Ryougi mechanically opened her mouth, chewed slightly, and then swallowed the food.

To ensure that Ryougi Shiki, who only knows how to simply refuse, could eat well, Li Ang put a lot of effort into preparing the food.

"Okay, don't let it show."

Seeing soup dripping from the corner of the girl's mouth, Li Ang quickly wiped her lips clean with a clean white napkin.

If it were Ryougi Shiki's family, or someone who truly cares about her, they would also shed tears upon seeing the girl like this.

But Li Ang clearly did not have similar feelings.

Ultimately, he has only been in contact with Ryougi Shiki for a total of two months, and the two have had almost no substantial communication in between.

Li Ang certainly didn't dislike Ryougi Shiki, but he definitely didn't feel the same pity for this girl as he would for his own woman.

If that were to happen, Li Ang would definitely be injected with aphrodisiac by Chloris and then thrown to a bunch of tentacle plants.

After dinner, Li Ang began reading various storybooks to Ryougi Shiki.

Although it is not the "○瓶梅" that Li Ang longed for, "SD" is also a classic story.

Li Ang wasn't talking about "School Days," he was talking about "Slam Dunk."

It is now May 1996, and this manga has just reached the most exciting part of the Sannoh battle before its conclusion.

Reading to Ryougi Shiki was a suggestion given by the doctor.

The bald doctor believed that doing so would awaken Ryougi Shiki's appreciation for the beauty of the outside world, thereby opening her heart.

···

"Ah↑Ah↓Ahhh↑Ah ...

Li Ang snapped the comic book shut, then helped Ryougi Shiki lie down on the bed and carefully covered her with a blanket.

Goodnight.

After turning off the lights, Li Ang left the ward.

After finishing his day's work, Li Ang greeted and said goodbye to the food guards at the front desk.

"Mr. Li Ang, take care."

"Bye-bye. Oh, by the way, Yumi-chan, you have a new hair accessory, it suits you really well."

"Oh dear, Mr. Li Ang, you're so mean." The nurse lowered her head shyly. "Miss Ryougi will be angry if she finds out."

"I'm just telling the truth."

After teasing the receptionist, Li Ang left the inpatient department with a smile.

"Ah, another uneventful day."

Li Ang stretched and walked out of the hospital building.

Then, he stopped.

"Really... a funeral system, did you notice?"

Li Ang turned his head and squinted at the window on the 7th floor of the hospital building's inpatient department—it was empty.

I have a feeling it's that girl again.

"Eighty percent yes."
