Chapter 404: Full Marks in Comprehension

The Da Heishan before his eyes and humanity were truly hard to associate, but the Seven Star Relic was a pink little bicycle, and Cursed Children would turn into Gastrea because the Gastrea Virus erosion rate within their bodies exceeded 50 percent, and the predecessor of Scorpio actually already had the answer.

"She's a Cursed Child?"

Satomi Rentaro asked.

"Or rather, one of the earliest batch."

Muroto Sumire nodded.

"So, you have a way to turn Scorpio back into a human?"

Broly asked.

"No, I can't."

"Huh?"

"Currently being infected with the Gastrea Virus equals having an incurable illness, there are no means to completely cure it yet, and Cursed Children can only rely on inhibitors to suppress the Gastrea Virus erosion rate within their bodies."

"Then what you said, letting Scorpio regain rationality and turn back into a human, is?"

"There's that possibility, but it still needs research, and I'm planning to do just that."

Broly: "…"

Good feelings, this person said so much, it was to paint him a pie.

The purpose was to want to research Scorpio.

"I'm not deceiving you, the Seven Star Relic is something from Scorpio's time as a human, and she can be attracted by something from her own human period, which proves that there very likely exists humanity belonging to humans within her body."

This was something Muroto Sumire had been guessing all along, a pity other Gastrea had no reaction to this point, but Stage Five Scorpio had this trait.

"Doctor Muroto, you mean there is still human consciousness within Scorpio's body?"

Satomi Rentaro asked.

"Gastrea-ization is the result caused by the Gastrea Virus, but from the perspective of life, those who have become Gastrea are not dead, but their life form has changed."

"If we set aside humanity's own racial concept, Gastrea-ization can even be regarded as an evolution at the level of life form."

"Losing rationality and wisdom, can this also be called evolution?"

Satomi Rentaro couldn't quite accept Muroto Sumire's statement.

"Rentaro, Broly, do you all know where the Gastrea Virus comes from?"

The female doctor asked.

"I'm not from this world, how could I possibly know."

Broly shook his head.

"Where from?"

Satomi Rentaro directly pursued the question, these were things not written in books.

"Before this, I was only speculating."

"But the intelligence Holy Son of Heaven gave me today confirmed the speculation."

"The Gastrea Virus is something humans themselves created."

This answer was not unexpected.

"Doctor Muroto, you mean someone developed the Gastrea Virus and used it to destroy the former world?"

"I'm not clear on this, but what can be affirmed is that the Gastrea Virus was not a so-called virus at first, but a kind of beneficial bacteria."

"Humans discovered this special bacterium on an ancient female corpse, and discovered its benefits to human existence itself, then conducted development research."

"And the original purpose was to create a panacea, think about it, various serious diseases of the old era, whether congenital heart disease, leukemia, or genetic diseases, only need one injection of medicine to achieve the situation of healing without medicine."

"At the same time, the medicine can also allow the injector themselves to break through the original limit of cell division times, thereby achieving the effect of extending lifespan."

"This kind of thing, how crazy would it make people."

Before the war, Qixing Cun was built because of this, representing the desire of aristocrats from all over the old world for health and longevity.

"I didn't see the effects you mentioned, but I saw the madness, this world was destroyed, and the wild is full of dangerous Gastrea everywhere."

Satomi Rentaro said while clenching his fist.

This truth made all middle and lower class people very hard to accept, because they couldn't enjoy the benefits of frontier biotechnology, yet had to bear the risk that after this biotechnology ran rampant, possibly—oh no, had already—destroyed their originally peaceful lives.

Once the global population of over six billion became the current 750 million, this was what had already happened.

"Humans tried to explore the secrets of life, recklessly meddled in the domain of gods, and now the world has become like this, perhaps it can be counted as some kind of retribution, but what we want to discuss is not this, look forward, the Gastrea Virus turned humans into Gastrea, so why can't those who have become Gastrea be turned back into humans?"

"How long will it take, when will there be results?"

Broly asked directly.

"This, Broly, you're not a researcher, so you might not know, many scientific research discoveries are accompanied by chance."

"Put bluntly, it means you're not sure how long it will take to turn those who have become Gastrea back into humans, right?"

Broly seized the key point and asked.

"Yes."

Muroto Sumire couldn't deny this.

"But if not researched, not even this faint possibility of turning back into humans exists."

The female doctor added another sentence.

"Broly, you don't want your wife to always be a mindless big monster, do you?"

"I don't mind that, on Wanpa Star I also have big monster friends."

Broly was referring to the Bay Beast, and Scorpio and the Bay Beast gave Broly a somewhat similar feeling, they could get along.

Muroto Sumire, Satomi Rentaro: "…"

This answer was truly unexpected, but it didn't seem to make people feel too surprised either.

"However, if there is rationality, they should be able to communicate better, and be able to feel happier, right?"

Broly said again.

"Then Broly, do you mean you agree to let me study Scorpio?"

Muroto Sumire's eyes lit up as she asked.

"No, I've decided to find my master to solve this problem."

But Broly denied her words.

"Eh, Broly, you have a master, uh, no, is your master also a biotech researcher?"

Satomi Rentaro asked curiously.

"No, she's a genuine Goddess, in another world, and she possesses powerful abilities to purify abnormal states."

"Well, you said this world became like this because humans meddled in the gods' domain, so I'll just have my Goddess Master come over; that shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Satomi Rentaro: "……"

This Saiyan boy's comprehension ability is truly full marks!

"You actually have these kinds of connections?"

Muroto Sumire was somewhat shocked, but quickly said.

"By then, can you have your Goddess Master draw two tubes of blood for me to study?"

Muroto Sumire didn't doubt Broly's words, but instead became interested in the Goddess Master the boy mentioned.

"Doctor Muroto, I suddenly feel that the world becoming like this is inseparable from the existence of science freaks like you."

Satomi Rentaro dragged a pair of dead fish eyes and began to roast the white-coated female doctor directly.

"Ahahaha, I was just joking; if you're not willing, forget it."

Though she said that, Muroto Sumire looked at Broly.

"Even if Aqua Master is willing to draw your blood, you probably won't be able to research anything from it."

Broly thought for a moment, then answered her.

"Ah, are you worried that our world's biotech research isn't up to par?"

Hearing there was a chance, Muroto Sumire quickly asked.

"No, it's just that my master is the Water Goddess; her body fluids are basically in a state of clear water. If we must say something can be drawn, the probability of drawing clear water containing alcohol would probably be a bit higher."

Broly told the truth.

Muroto Sumire: "???"

Satomi Rentaro was imagining the image of a Water Goddess from whom alcohol could be drawn from her body.

A bottle with a small mouth and a large body, a watered-down liquor bottle spirit?!

Ha, how could such an existence possibly...

Well, Satomi Rentaro looked at the Scorpio resembling Da Heishan beside him and suddenly felt that such a Goddess might actually exist.

"Achoo~"

Aqua sneezed, and while wiping her nose with a tissue, she received a communication from her cute Disciple.

"Mm hm hm, Xiao Tian was originally a human?"

"No problem, since she has already joined the Crystal Palace, I definitely need to take care of this Junior/Underclassman."

"However, six thousand Happiness Points for the toll and stay fee is a bit expensive."

"What, the Crystal Palace supports proxy payment, Broly, you're covering the toll?"

"Damn it, just a latercomer, actually making you pay. What, you actually want to take this opportunity to meet me, this Master?"

"Ah, haha, did you hear that, did you hear that, I'm truly Broly..."

Aqua's smug boasting speech is omitted here.

Broly then obtained his Master's promise to come help.

However, he had to wait until Aqua got off work.

As for when the Great Water God gets off work.

Well, there's still half a day left, but that's KonoSuba World's Heaven time.

If converted to the time on this side of the Shenqi Shijie, it would still take another four days.

"Then I won't slice her body tissues, just draw a tube of her blood, okay?"

Under Muroto Sumire's shameless persistence and her swear that she would absolutely not cause any harm to Scorpio, Broly still let go of this person, allowing the female doctor to successfully draw a tube of purple-black blood from Scorpio's body and take it away.

"How should we report to the Holy Son of Heaven?"

On the way back, Satomi Rentaro asked her.

"How else to report? Scorpio has obviously taken the place where the Seven Star Relic is stored as home. Anyway, with Broly watching over Scorpio, nothing should happen. Just report it like that."

Muroto Sumire let out a big yawn. She urgently needed to go back and sleep, but before that, she had to preserve the blood of Stage Five Scorpio.

"Sigh, if I had known earlier, I would have agreed to become Broly's wife..."

Thinking about how she had wanted to join the Crystal Palace just now, but was directly refused by Broly, who said they would wait for his Goddess Master to come test her before deciding whether to invite her, Muroto Sumire felt somewhat depressed.

"Doctor Muroto, didn't you say before that you could still remember your past fiance?"

"The person is gone, the living must look forward. Besides, back then, he and I only held hands."

"Ah, holding hands counts as a fiance?"

"It was my parents' decision, and among my pursuers, he was considered a not bad person, a researcher like me."

"And after he died, with the memory bonus, I always felt he was a very important person, but actually thinking about it, that's just how it was."

"Your answer, could it be that you changed your mind after seeing how powerful Broly is?"

Satomi Rentaro doubted this somewhat.

"Broly didn't say that the capture targets all have that Happiness Value on them? Why don't you ask me tomorrow how many Happiness Points I have?"

Muroto Sumire's situation is somewhat subtle; this person who does things for her genuinely increases her Happiness Value, and that is also the reason Broly is willing to let her order him around.

But this person's attitude toward life is somewhat terrible; normally she is devoted to research, and when not researching she appears a bit frivolous, giving the feeling of someone who doesn't cast the hawk until she sees the rabbit, and also making one feel she is a bit unreliable, like a guy fishing for bigmouth bass.

However, as a Capture target whose Happiness Value is second only to the un-capturable Aihara Enju, Muroto Sumire is still quite grateful these days for the Saiyan boy who has been coming to the Research Institute to help with research.

Even, if Broly looked a bit older, and he proposed the requirement to sleep together, Muroto Sumire might just give away the first time she has kept for twenty-six years.

In her words, a weirdo of the research type who likes touching corpses like her probably won't have any luck with men in the future either.

Of course, given she has a decent body, there might be someone who wants her body, but rather than randomly giving it to a stranger she doesn't know who covets her beauty, better to give it to someone she knows well and doesn't feel disgusted by.

"Scorpio has made the Tokyo Bay Old Port District its home?"

"Yes."

"It won't rush over to This Side of the Tokyo Safe Zone, right?"

"It shouldn't; even if it does, Broly is there."

"Alright."

The Holy Son of Heaven could only accept this result, and was just about to call someone over to increase the monitoring of public opinion, when he heard Satomi Rentaro add.

"And four days later, the matter of Scorpio should have a result."

"Eh, what result?"

The Holy Son of Heaven didn't understand, and Satomi Rentaro then explained the matter of Scorpio possibly recovering into a human.

"What, Doctor Muroto, has the research on the Gastrea Virus already reached this degree?"

The Young Holy Emperor was greatly shocked, and her expression immediately showed joy.

Because if so, the fear brought by the Gastrea Virus will be thoroughly shattered.

The so-called Cursed Children will also merely be some children who have contracted an illness, not some freaks.

"Uh, it's not that Doctor Muroto has any research results, but Broly's master is coming."

"Broly's master?"

"Right, and his master, it is said, is a genuine Goddess.

At the same time, she is also one of Broly's wives, and also acts as the examiner who will test whether you all can become Broly's wives and officially join the Crystal Palace."

"Ah?!"

An astonished expression surfaced on the Young Holy Emperor's face.

And this expression was about the same as the boy's when he heard these words from Broly's mouth.

Both had too many points to retort, and for a moment didn't know how to vent.

"Where's Broly?"

In the afternoon, Aihara Enju got up, discovered the boy's figure wasn't at home, and ran into the room to push awake the boy sleeping in the quilt and ask.

"Broly is at Scorpio's side; these past few days he hasn't come back, let me sleep a bit more."

Satomi Rentaro answered in a daze, threw his head back and continued sleeping.
