Chapter 1013 The Last Routine 192

"You said your head hurts, right?" Chris brought over some first-aid supplies and gestured for Kobayashi to lift his head, saying, "Anyway, let's cool you down first. Here, look up, this is an ice pack."

“…Being looked after by beautiful girls, how enviable.” Duster, seeing this scene, had tears of longing streaming down his face, then looked at Lynn and the others and asked, “Is this kind of business really worthwhile…?”

“I’m telling you…” Lynn rolled her eyes in annoyance, “Don’t even think about faking illness. Even if you’re sick, Duster, I won’t take care of you.”

"How could this be—" he cried out in anguish.

After seeing Duster and Kobayashi surrounded by beautiful girls, Cecily couldn't help but ponder whether this approach was really better, as it seemed to have a large following.

Just then, Youyou ran over, carrying a lot of bandages, and said, "Mr. Kobayashi, I brought bandages, I'll wrap you up with more!"

"Mmm mmm mmm————"

The bandages were wrapped too tightly and too many times, so that Xiaolin was completely wrapped in them, and in the end, even breathing became very difficult.

"Miss Youyou, bandages won't cure a headache!" Cecily quickly came over and took Youyou's place, saying, "Leave this to me... Here, have a drink!"

"Ughh ...

Alice, seeing this, clasped her hands together in worry and asked softly, "Um... Miss Cecily, is that strangely colored potion alright? My brother seems to be in a lot of pain..."

“Don’t worry.” Cecily waved her hand dismissively and said, “This is a cure-all medicine I developed, and it even contains Lady Aqua’s bathwater, so there’s absolutely no problem with it.”

"Only anxiety!?" Lynn couldn't help but shout, "What's with adding bathwater to the potion? Won't it kill someone?"

However, to everyone's surprise, Kobayashi suddenly stopped having a headache, opened her eyes as if she had woken up, and looked at everyone, saying, "...Huh!? What... happened?"

"It's working!?"

"Hmph, I told you. Lady Aqua's bathwater is indeed very effective!"

Cecily said this smugly, but both Yu-Yu and Alice hoped that the other party would not add bathwater to the potion next time, even though Aqua was a goddess and her bathwater was equivalent to holy water.

"Mr. Kobayashi!?" Chris breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him regain consciousness and said, "That's great, it seems you've regained consciousness. Everyone was so worried about you."

“I’m not too worried.” Lynn looked at Cecily holding up the bottle of medicine with glee and said, “But that medicine really works.”

After all, she didn't know that Aqua was the goddess, nor did she know that the potion was equivalent to holy water.

“Of course!” Cecily said proudly, raising her head. “I’ve tried it many times. A few days ago, I also gave it to Mr. Kobayashi and other adventurers.”

"Mr. Kobayashi, are you alright now?" Youyou quickly came closer, asking softly with a worried expression, "Is there anything else that's bothering you? Does your head still hurt?"

“…Ah.” Kobayashi’s lips curled up slightly, and with a dashing and handsome expression, he spoke in an incredibly gentle tone, “In the time between collapsing and losing consciousness, I finally understood who was truly important to me…”

Then, she winked at Lynn beside her and said, "That's... Lynn, you."

"Huh?" Lynn was surprised for only a second before realizing that Kobayashi was still a patient, and said somewhat irritably, "Is his brain damaged like Duster's? Looks like he needs further treatment. Um, inject this into his brain—"

"No, no! Don't rush, Lynn!" Chris quickly grabbed Lynn's hand, which was about to pour water into Kobayashi's head, to stop her from doing so, since she might end up as Aqua 2.

"Hehe." Kobayashi chuckled and said, "The more you love someone, the more you want to tease them? This kind of bluntness is also cute...! Waaaaah, my head hurts so much! It hurts so much! It's going to split open, waaaaah!!"

To everyone's confusion, Xiaolin, who was still confessing her feelings, gritted her teeth again, covered her head in pain, and did the same thing as before.

"Oh no, what happened?"

"Was the medicine just now really okay? I feel like Kobayashi's symptoms have worsened!"

Lynn twitched her lips. As one of those who had just been confessed to, she felt like a victim of an experiment. Then, with deadpan eyes, she looked at Cecily, who had just given Kobayashi the medicine.

“Hmm, there are such strange things.” Cecily stroked her chin with some confusion. After all, Aqua’s bathwater was practically holy water, and it should be able to remove most things, whether it was an injury, poisoning, or a curse.

At that moment, the clinic door was opened again.

"Excuse me, is this a clinic?!" A female adventurer rushed in, shouting anxiously at the group, "My companion seems to be acting very strange...!!"

"I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you...!" The male adventurer she was supporting was hugging his companion and repeatedly professing his love, as if he were possessed.

Seeing this, Cecily quickly gestured for them to come over, saying, "Sir, come, please come to this bed! What's wrong?"

"He initially said he had a headache, but after he came to his senses, he became like this..." The female adventurer said this with a panicked and helpless expression. Obviously, she didn't know what was going on and had no choice but to come here for help.

"Same symptoms as Kobayashi." Lynn looked at the patient and asked curiously, "Did you pick up something strange and eat it?"

“Picking up things to eat… Oh, I see.” Cecily said this meaningfully, as if she had discovered something.

Chris, somewhat surprised and puzzled, quickly asked, "You... you know something!?"

“The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.” Cecily nodded very seriously, then, like a detective who had just solved a mystery, she exclaimed loudly, “This is… a conspiracy by the Cult of Eris!!”

"A conspiracy by the Church of Eris?... Is there such a thing?" Alice asked somewhat timidly. After all, the Church of Eris was the state religion, and it was not very convincing to make a rash suspicion.

“Without a doubt,” Cecily stated emphatically, “that’s exactly who they are. They put food laced with brainwashing drugs on the ground and make people pick it up and eat it! Those who eat it are completely brainwashed and join the Eris Cult. What a terrifying plan… Ouch, ouch, ouch!!!”

Klee grabbed Cecily's cheek without any politeness, preventing her from uttering any negative words about the Church of Eris, while loudly rebuking her, "How could that be?! Followers of the Church of Eris would never do such a thing!"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong! I... I apologize! So, please stop pulling my face, it hurts...!!" Cecily quickly begged for mercy.

"Anyway, let's check on Xiaolin and that man from earlier together," Youyou urged them, indicating that they shouldn't waste any more time.

During this brief respite, Kobayashi rose again, gazing at Lynn with deep affection, and said, "Lynn... the words you weave are beautiful, but others also find it hard to let go. Everyone here—"

"No way. That's not an answer." Lynn slapped Kobayashi on the back of the head, then looked at the others and asked, "How's that man over there?"

Another male patient, with a similarly childish expression, said, "Ever since I tasted the fruit of the Fallen Angel, my world has completely changed. The world is full of such lovely, such charming people—"

"Although it's worded in a roundabout way, it sounds like you ate something strange." Youyou said with a similarly troubled and helpless expression, "That's the problem..."

"Cough cough! Youyou... I only have you left!" Xiaolin grabbed Youyou's hand and said with deep affection, "I will make you happy, along with Huihui!"

"Megumi too!?" Yuuyu was surprised for a moment, then her cheeks flushed slightly as she said, "This...this might not be bad?"

“Miss Yu-Yu, calm down. Mr. Kobayashi has lost his mind.” Chris rolled her eyes in annoyance, then said, “Mr. Kobayashi, you should pull yourself together too!”

"Honestly, they're so naughty... Humph!"

"Wow!!"

"Miss Lynn!! Although you're saved, what's with suddenly getting punched in the stomach? Lynn is a patient!?"

When Chris saw Lynn's brutality towards Kobayashi, she panicked and screamed.

Kobayashi, who had been punched, involuntarily vomited while covering his mouth, startling everyone.

"Huh!?" Alice exclaimed, "What did my brother vomit up?!"

"Was this the medicine I just gave him? There's no other way, another dose—"

Cecily took out the potion again. Just as she was about to force-feed it to Kobayashi, the female adventurer who had brought the male adventurer to see the doctor suddenly pointed at the potion and shouted, "Ah! This strange color... it's the one this person just drank!"

"Hmm? Did your companion also take this potion?" Lynn asked instinctively, but quickly realized, "Wait, so that means..."

She suddenly remembered what Cecily had said earlier.

Of course! I've done it many times before. A few days ago, I also gave it to Mr. Kobayashi and other adventurers.

"Could it be because of the potion Cecily distributed?"

Chris twitched her lips. Although it sounded absurd and unbelievable, considering that the other party was an Axis cultist and Cecily had mental problems, she found it quite normal.

"What's going on? This atmosphere!" Cecily, who was being stared at by everyone, pouted unhappily and said, "It's like the reason is my fault..."

"That's exactly what I wanted to say!" Youyou said, somewhat angrily. She questioned, "So, what's in this medicine?"

"There's nothing strange inside. Some nourishing herbs and some stimulating herbs... a little bit of agar slime powder, and Lady Aqua's bathwater, that's all."

"That's why!!" Chris yelled angrily, "You said Eris taught you how to make weird medicine, but wasn't it you who made the weird medicine?!"

"I've never heard of making medicine from agar slime powder, or bathwater or anything like that..." Yu-Yu recalled the herbal knowledge she learned in the Crimson Demon Village with some curiosity, and said, "Is it mixed with other herbs to produce strange effects?"

"Sigh..." Lynn sighed, feeling both helpless and bored. "Anyway, the cause has been found, and it can be treated. Can't we just make him vomit up the medicine?"

It's a rather simple and crude method, but it's very useful in this situation.

Then, Lynn and the male adventurer's stomachs were hit very hard by Lynn and the others, causing them to vomit up all the medicine in their stomachs.

"Phew..." Alice helped Kobayashi lie down on the hospital bed, wiping the sweat from her forehead, and said, "It should be fine now..."

"Um, um...you guys..."

Xiao Lin sat up unsteadily, looking at the girls gathered around him with some confusion.

"Brother! Are you alright now?" Alice looked at him with some happiness, but also with some worry, and whispered, "Don't you think Alice is too charming? Do you want to confess your feelings?"

"...Alice is very charming, but it's not at the point of confessing yet." Kobayashi said with a smile, patting Alice's head as he looked at everyone and asked, "By the way, what are you all wearing?"

"We are Axel's Angels!" Cecily announced proudly. "We help those in need and carry out healing activities. We also helped Mr. Kobayashi!"

"Hitting someone's stomach to make them vomit up, then using the cure to cover up the fact that they hit them, it's practically a crime... Ughhhh!!"

Chris said this somewhat shyly.

"Okay, okay, it's a good thing after all, isn't it?" Youyou explained awkwardly, "Fortunately, those abnormal people have also recovered to normal through the same treatment, so this matter is resolved, right?"

“It’s good that you’re so positive and optimistic about things like this…” Lynn wanted to say something, but in the end she didn’t. “It’s great that you think this way. Of course, if something like this happens again in the future, I will come to help.”

Seeing their apologetic expressions, Kobayashi sensed something was wrong, and their evasive gazes made her even more suspicious.

"Hey, what happened? My stomach keeps hurting... Hey, Chris, don't look away, tell me the truth!"

"Wha, nothing!"

"Hey, don't run away!"

"I have something to do, let's talk next time!"

Chris turned and ran away.

The others also made excuses and disappeared, leaving Xiaolin, who was experiencing mild abdominal pain, looking bewildered and confused.
