Chapter 156
Shampoo Islands, naval base, medical room.
On a white hospital bed, an orange-haired girl with a bandage on her right hand and a piece of gauze on her right face was half-lying.
She seemed to be thinking about something, looking out the window with dull eyes, tears welling up in her eyes.
Sephiroth, wearing a cloak of justice and a black suit, walked into the medical room, picked up a chair next to the white hospital bed, sat down, and looked at the girl on the bed.
He said in a very gentle tone:
“Little sister, have you had breakfast?”
When the girl saw the face of the visitor clearly, she instantly recognized the silver-haired young man. He was the man who rushed into the fire scene and rescued her yesterday.
“Big brother…thank you for saving me…”
When thinking about what happened yesterday, the girl thought about her mother again…
After she woke up from the coma, she still held a glimmer of hope in her heart, thinking that her mother might still be alive and had been rescued by the navy.
However……
When she saw her mother’s half-burnt body in the Navy morgue, the unrealistic hope in her heart was completely shattered…
Tears fell from the girl’s eyes, and her tone couldn’t help but be filled with sadness.
“Why are you crying? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”
Sephiroth took out a tissue from the tissue box on the bedside table and handed it to the other party.
The girl wiped her tears with a tissue and said with a choked voice:
“Mom…she’s dead…oooooo!”
“My condolences… Where are your other relatives?”
“Mom is my only relative…”
“…”
Hearing this, Sephiroth couldn’t help but sigh, feeling a little melancholy in his heart.
The girl’s mother was buried in the sea of fire, but the pirate who caused the fire was inseparable from Vergo.
The Don Quixote family created this disaster just to pave the way for Vergo and help him quickly advance to the military rank and climb up…
With the strength Vergo had shown in previous battles, it was obviously unrealistic for Sephiroth to keep suppressing his promotion.
This is the Shampoo Islands. In the lawless zone where pirates are rampant, there are a lot of guys with bounties on their heads. If Vergo dares to take risks and catch pirates alone during his vacation, he can still accumulate military merit!
Why not… find a chance to kill him?
But doing this seems to be of no benefit to me…
Forget it, ignore him for now!
Looking at the girl who was still crying, Sephiroth thought for a while before speaking:
“If you have no other place to go, how about you follow big brother from now on…?”
The girl sniffed and said with a choked voice:
“Really……?”
“Yeah! Really…”
Sephiroth raised his hand and touched the girl’s orange hair.
In the Shampoo Islands, there are no orphanages, but there are a lot of human sales halls.
If he doesn’t take the girl in, she will either starve to death on the streets or be captured by traffickers as a slave.
Since I have rescued the girl from the sea of fire and allowed her to survive, why not help out…
Um! …It was impossible to bring him back to the villa. He didn’t want to make Hancock angry.
After all, Hancock had already said last time that if Sephiroth dared to bring back a girl with an unknown future, she would throw him to Nine Snakes Island…
Hancock can tolerate him once, maybe he can tolerate him twice, but if the number of times is too many, there is no guarantee that the other party will not completely break up with him from now on!
If this is really the case, Sephiroth will definitely burst into tears…
“May I have your name?”
“Iska.”
“Well……!?”
“What’s wrong? Big brother, is my name weird?”
Iska looked at him with reddish tearful eyes, and there was a hint of nervousness and uneasiness in his tone.
The girl did not want the young man to ask her to change her name, because it was the name given to her by her mother…
“No, no…it’s good.”
Sephiroth shook his head and said something casually.
Finally, he reached into his jacket pocket and took out a Life Enhancer, a syringe, and a rubber band.
“This is a medicine that can quickly heal wounds… Big brother is going to give you an injection.
Wait for a while, it might hurt a little, but you have to bear with it, really? ”
“Um!”
Iska nodded slightly.
In fact, she is now experiencing pain in her right hand and right face.
Although yesterday Sephiroth stabilized her injury by instilling life force and also gave her an anesthetic,
But when she woke up, her injuries had not completely healed yet, and she still felt pain when she should.
Sephiroth opened the seal on the medicine bottle, put the syringe inside, and quickly drew out the medicine.
Then, he took Iska’s left hand, tied the rubber band around his arm, inserted the needle tip of the syringe into the girl’s snow-white skin, and slowly injected the light yellow liquid into her body.
“alright!”
Sephiroth pulled out the needle and untied the rubber band.
There is no need for the girl to hold down to stop the bleeding, the injection port on the arm will heal automatically and the bleeding will stop!
Gululu~!
After a while, there was a cry from Iska’s stomach. She covered her stomach with her hands and said with a blushing face:
“It’s so weird…I’m so hungry!
Obviously I have already had breakfast…”
“Hahaha! After this medicine is injected into the body, it will rapidly consume the energy in the body.”
Sephiroth waved to a female nurse in the infirmary not far away who was wearing a white nurse uniform and taking the temperature of a patient:
“Ms. Nurse, please go to the kitchen and bring her some bread and milk…”
“Okay, Brigadier General Sephiroth.”
Hearing this, the female nurse nodded and immediately walked quickly outside the medical room.
He thought for a moment and added:
“Uh! Take the one for five people first, and then take it when you don’t have enough!”
“For five people…I can’t eat that much…” Iska blushed and stuttered.
She was afraid that Sephiroth would think she was a loser and would dislike her…
Seeing this scene, Sephiroth immediately smiled and said with relief:
“It’s okay, just eat! You will recover faster if you eat…”
Ta Ta Ta…!
There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a bearded young man wearing a white cloak of justice ran into the medical room.
Sephiroth’s adjutant, Second Lieutenant Frank, saluted the silver-haired young man and then said in a hurry:
“Reporting to Brigadier General Sephiroth, I just received an order from the Warring States General. He asked you to go to Malinfando immediately and report to him.”
Hearing this, Sephiroth couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and his tone was playful:
“Oh!?……Reporting to work?”
“Yes!” Lieutenant Frank nodded and confirmed.
“I see!”
After saying goodbye to Iska, Sephiroth went back to the office first. He created a bat clone and asked it to replace him. He took a warship to Marinevando, while the main body went to the underground of Island No. 50. laboratory.
The Warring States Period sent him an order to report on his work, most likely to prepare for dealing with him…
Although Sephiroth felt that he should be able to minimize the big problems this time and turn them into small things.
but……
He still has to be prepared in case of unexpected events. He will not take risks if there is no final conclusion…
