Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

"Oh? This is a compliment, huh? I praise you for being so thoughtful that you even helped the people around you to handle it."

Looking at Emiya's appearance, Lappland seemed to have discovered a new world. He put down his hands that were covering his ears and started a series of critical attacks.

"..."

Now it was Emiya's turn to walk with his ears covered.

"Oh, don't be shy! Don't you want to hear my praise for you again?"

Having seized this only opportunity to play a prank on Emiya, Lappland naturally would not let it go.

Just like that, under someone's continuous verbal offensive, the two people soon came to the office.

When meeting people along the way, Lappland will consciously shut his mouth and wait until there is no one around before continuing.

Now that she had entered the office, she naturally calmed down completely and followed behind Emiya, looking left and right at the same time, taking in the general structure of the office.

Her first impression of this place was not a hospital or a clinic, but just an ordinary office.

But after following Emiya to the back, she was sure that this was the clinic.

Looking at those huge and apparently sophisticated instruments, Lapland could only recognize a small part of them.

Just by looking at the scene before him, Lappland felt that the cost of treatment here must be very high, but he didn't know how low the cost that Emiya said was.

If the other party is a rich man who doesn't care about those few Longmen coins at all, then she will be in trouble.

Although she had some money, most of it was used to purchase intelligence for work, and the remaining money was definitely not enough to treat the bottomless pit of oripathy.

While Lappland was thinking, Emiya suddenly patted her on the shoulder and said:

"Put down your weapons first and follow this doctor Minmin for the examination. I will stay outside."

Emiya pointed at the two big swords on Lappland's waist, then pointed at Minmin beside him and said.

"It feels more and more like you're going to sell me out, even taking my weapons."

Hearing what Emiya said, Lappland complained.

"You can put the weapons aside, but you can't bring them in."

Ignoring Lappland's complaints, Emiya gave another solution. Some of the instruments inside had considerable magnetic force, and it would be bad if the opponent's sword was attracted by it.

Especially since Emiya felt that someone like Lappland, who particularly loved fighting, would rarely leave his weapons.

But to Emiya's surprise, the other party readily handed the sword to him?

"Help me hold it, it's a bit heavy after all, I'm afraid it will bump into something here."

The two swords, along with their hilts, were handed over to Emiya, and Lappland prepared to change into clothes for the medical examination.

"Ah? Oh... OK."

Although I don't know why the other party suddenly became easy to talk to, it is a good thing for Emiya.

Holding two big swords, Emiya came outside and waited.

The main reason is that the clothes used for physical examinations are relatively light and thin. The last time he stayed there was mainly because An Suo specifically requested it. This time he doesn't want to stay in it.

Not to mention that last time he had to appease Ansuo's emotions, so his attention was always on thinking about how to speak.

There is nothing to comfort him with Lapland this time. He can only watch Minmin operate and spend this boring half an hour, right?

And he had no interest in watching other people's physical examination process.

On the other side, Lappland inside was quite cooperative. She did whatever Minmin said, and the physical examination went very smoothly.

"How did you meet that guy?"

During the physical examination, Lapland would talk to Minmin.

"How did you meet? I think we met because of cooperation? I kind of forgot. Now don't talk and look up!"

Minmin said while operating the instrument.

Just now, Emiya said that Lappland might be a little difficult to get along with, and asked her to be a little careful.

Isn't this quite easy to talk about?

He speaks nicely, is polite and knows a lot, so chatting with him is never boring.

It's just that she told too many black jokes. If she hadn't been guarding her lips, she would have probably gone down.

"cooperate?"

After waiting for the instrument inspection to be completed, Lappland stood up and asked.

"Well, Emiya took in and helped many infected children who couldn't survive on their own in the slums! We are able to cooperate because Emiya asked us to provide regular physical examinations and treatments for the children."

Because the person was brought by Emiya, and Minmin felt good after chatting with him, so she answered the other party's questions seriously.

"Take in the children...Fuyuki Store?"

Hearing Minmin's words, Lapland quickly thought of the Fuyuki store where Emiya was just now.

When Ansuo went to the kitchen next door, she noticed that there were many children inside.

"Yeah, that's it. I really admire him, don't you? He gave money and effort just to help others."

"… pure kindness?"

After hearing what Minmin said, Lapland realized what part of Emiya she had not seen through during their two meetings.

It is a kind intention that does not ask for anything in return, but only hopes that others can live a happy life. It is such a pure kindness.

191 Old Maid

The ignorant Minmin was tricked by Lapland.

Thanks to this, Lappland already has a general understanding of the so-called Rhodes Island, and also has a certain degree of understanding of Emiya.

The other party is not the one responsible for delivery by Penguin Logistics, but rather a nanny-like presence.

To round it off, it is Emiya who is taking care of Texas' daily life now.

She almost died of laughter just thinking about this scene.

There are so many things to laugh at, such as Texas being taken care of by a male mother, and Emiya actually doing this job.

She was just thinking that Emiya was so nagging, just like an old mother.

I really didn’t expect this!

But no matter how much Emiya cares about her, what Lappland really wants is information about the other party.

Excluding the inexplicable goodwill given by the other party, Lappland is more concerned about the other party's combat effectiveness.

Whether it's sniping when she sees people, or being able to accurately hit crossbow arrows fired at a short distance, these are things that ordinary people cannot do.

In addition, the opponent's melee skills seemed to be quite good, so Lappland was even more concerned.

This is especially true when the other party is familiar with Texas.

The focus is still Texas.

"Hmm...it doesn't look optimistic."

After completing a series of physical examinations on Lapland, Minmin could feel from the data that had not yet been sorted out that Lapland's condition was worse than she had expected.

The Originium crystals on the opponent's thighs looked bad, and the situation inside his body was even worse.

Compared to the infected people she had come into contact with in Longmen so far, Lapland's case should be ranked second in severity.

The first one is Xiao Ansuo.

"It should be very bad, right? The kind where half of the foot is already in the ground."

After hearing Minmin's words, Laplander, who had already changed back into his own clothes, knew that the pessimism the other party was talking about was referring to his own oripathy.

To be honest, it would be a good idea to describe it as pessimistic. Most people would have sentenced her to death just by seeing the Originium crystals on her legs.

"It's not that serious yet, if you are willing to accept treatment from now on."

After looking at the data above, compared with the others that Emiya had seen before, it was probably just a little more serious.

"What are you talking about? Is there any disease that can't be alleviated or even improved by continuous treatment? And what's more, a terminal disease like oripathy? Treatment will only prolong the time of death."

After complaining about Emiya's words, Lappland took his two swords and put them back on his waist.

"..."

Looking at Lappland in front of her, Minmin felt that the other party seemed a little different from the one she had just seen inside.

Lappland seems to be very aggressive now?

Or is it just targeting Emiya?

Well...indeed, who wouldn't like Emiya who can cook and is kind? If the other party didn't work for Penguin Logistics, she might have started considering poaching him.

Minmin automatically regarded Lappland's aggression as a sign of goodwill. To put it more simply, it should be tsundere, right?

If Emiya knew what she was thinking, he would probably roll his eyes.

"That's better than doing nothing, right?"

After getting somewhat accustomed to Lappland's sharp words, Emiya could handle it with ease.

At least the other party spoke quite politely and didn't call me a bastard all the time.

"Yes, yes, yes. Well, Mom, I've left you my contact information. I've also promised you that I'll come for treatment regularly. Can I leave now? I still have some work to do."

Knowing that she couldn't win the argument with Emiya in this regard, Lappland had no intention of continuing to argue with him. After picking up her things, she prepared to leave.

"Pfft...Mom? That's quite appropriate."

Hearing Lappland's words, Minmin, who was looking at the physical examination data with some worry, burst out laughing.

"Okay, but if I find out that you haven't been coming for treatment regularly... I'll tell Texas."

Emiya answered Lappland's question with a dark face, and at the same time thought about what he should do if Lappland did not come for treatment.

"Oh? That's great."

Hearing Emiya say this, Lappland became excited.

This is not a punishment but a reward! After hearing this, she was thinking about whether she should skip the next treatment.

She had originally planned to receive treatment, but since the treatment costs here were rather special, she only needed to provide some information about the slums that she knew.

If necessary, maybe I would bother her to do this.

It's quite a good deal, and it only benefits her with no harm, so she naturally has no reason to refuse.

But Emiya's words made her start considering the possibility of skipping the treatment.

"I'll tell Texas to ignore you from now on."

Looking at the smile on Lappland's face, Emiya added.

Then Lapland's face fell, and he continued:

"Is this some kind of warning to a child? I'll be here next week, don't worry."

His tone was filled with disdain for Emiya.

“As long as it’s useful.”

Seeing Lappland's look, Emiya was sure that his warning was very effective.

He had just been thinking for a long time, thinking about how to make Laplande accept treatment obediently.

After thinking for a long time, Emiya felt that Texas might be a good breakthrough point.

As it seems, almost everything in Lapland so far is related to Texas, so Emiya thought of using Texas to scare the other party.

Now it seems to be very effective.

"Humph!"

Ignoring Emiya's next words, Lappland just left.

Because he had just been injected with a blocking agent, and the office was still conducting some research on targeted treatment, Lapland's next visit was scheduled for next week.

In other words, if she just leaves now, there will be no problem at all.
