Chris is continuing with his research on the string parasites in the isolated room as Blair is resting on a chair outside the isolated room. Suddenly, Leah stomped in with the one-meter-long cockroach in her arm, Sky and Maria hastily followed her. Then, Leah stood in front of Blair who still looks a bit weak. She pulled him up without even considering his body condition.
"Are you trying to force me to give away my Mr. Roach? What the hell is wrong with you? Have you ever considered me as your sister?" Leah asked, in a near shouting voice.
"Leah, this is a serious and emergency situation that I cannot let you continue with your stubbornness as you like, it's about the lives of everyone in the town." said Blair.
"Why should I even care about that? You can't just sacrifice Mr. Roach for the town, I had been looking for him for hundreds of years!" Leah shouted.
"Tsk... Leah, you can't be this selfish, the consequences of your stubbornness are not anything you can bear." said Blair who sounds a bit angry.
"No! It's not! You don't understand! Mr. Roach is an important memento and family member!" Leah exclaimed.
"You... Tsk..." Blair is so angry that he doesn't know what to say anymore.
Hearing the commotions, Chris walked out of the isolated room. Seeing Chris, Leah became even more enraged. She stomped towards Chris and pointed at Chris's face with her index finger before shouting at Chris like a shrew.
"Are you the one that tricked my idiot brother to do such a stupid thing? I can't believe it! Is your clean and noble look just a cover for your dirty heart?" Leah shouted, nearly hysterical.
"No, we are having some misunderstanding here, I didn't... Ah..."
Before Chris even finished his words, Leah brutally pushed him, totally unprepared for this, Chris lost his balance and nearly fall down. Sky and Maria immediately rushed towards Chris, Sky protected Chris from in front while Maria held Chris in his hands, preventing him from falling down.
"Listen, Miss Leah, don't you dare to harm even a strain of hair of Chris." said Sky with a fierce glare.
"Yes, our sweet and delicate Chris-chan is meant to be protected and cherished with extra care." said Maria, equally angry.
"Uhm... You two, don't you think you overreacted a bit? I'm not that fragile. And Leah, you had misunderstood me, I would never let Blair do such a dangerous thing. Why would I risk my friend's life so easily?" said Chris, trying to explain things to the semi-hysterical Leah.
"Like I will believe in your words! From how you schemed your opponent in the match, you are the last one I am going to trust!" said Leah, in a rude manner.
"Leah! Mind your manner! You can be rude to anyone else but not to Chris." said Blair in a stern voice surprisingly with no '-chan' after Chris's name.
"Why should I? I am just saying the truth! Only an idiot like you will believe in such a scheming person!" Leah yelled at Blair.
Blair who is totally enraged by his sister raised his hand and was about to slap her but got stopped by Sky before he could do so.
"Mr. Blair, this is not how you are supposed to solve your sibling's issues. Do you realize that both you and the co... I mean Mr. Roach are very important to your sister that she is unwilling to sacrifice any of you. But what you had done forced her to make a choice that will hurt her so badly either way, it's natural for her to be this mad. You need to understand her feelings." said Sky.
"But Mr. Vlansky, she needs to be..."
"Blair, being emotional will speed up the activation of the parasites inside you, it is better for you to just stay calm and have a rest for now. Maria, can you please bring Mr. Blair to the infirmary next door? He needs some rest." said Chris before Blair can say anything.
Maria nodded before escorting Blair out of the room.
Then, Chris turned to Leah.
"Don't worry, I am just going to do a brief examination and take some samples from him. It wouldn't really hurt him even a bit." said Chris.
Leah is a bit reluctant regardless of what Chris just said.
"If you don't trust me, you can watch the whole process at my side, if I did anything harmful to Mr. Roach, you may attack me with anything you can get in this lab." said Chris, in a serious tone.
Leah nodded before unwillingly handing her cockroach to Chris...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few minutes later.
"See? It's not that bad at all." said Chris, in a slightly teasing tone.
On the experiment table, there's a small bottle of body fluid of the cockroach and a strain of its leg hair that comes off on its own.
"Hmph! I still don't trust you no matter what." said Leah.
"Well, I don't really need your trust, I just need to get everything done and stop this disaster." said Chris, slightly provoking.
"Fine! Whatever! I am taking my leave! Make sure you do make something of out it." said Leah before angrily leaving the laboratory.
"Ah... This lady sure has two faces." said Sky as Leah left the laboratory.
"Well, you can't really blame her, if I were her, it would be worse, especially when she is having such an elder brother like Blair." said Chris.
"Yeah... I guess that's the reason behind the sibling's issues." said Sky. Chris nodded silently...
