"Immortality?"
Upon hearing the implicit words from the other person, Sasaki Fuyumi looked at her as if she were a fool and responded with a question.
"More or less." Her gourd-like figure was leaning against the open window, making it challenging for Sasaki Fuyumi, who was facing the sun, to see her expression clearly.
But her numb, serious eyes and her attitude of turning a blind eye to his own eyes made him re-judge the authenticity of her words.
Although he didn't know the specific situation in this world,
But based on his memory, this world didn't seem to be much different from the background of his previous life.
With this level of technology, is it possible to achieve immortality?
Or does this world have some advanced technology?
"Although the project's results were deviant, there will be some side effects. However, based on the condition of the experimental subjects, their cell activity has indeed increased, and some diseases during their lifetimes have all been completely resolved. So, the deviation in the project results is not too significant."
Lifting her glasses, which had slipped down a bit, and looking at the person lying on the hospital bed in front of her, who didn't seem to doubt her words, Fujitsubaki's mouth twitched.
It seemed like she wanted to smile, but for some reason, it looked a bit stiff.
Watching her rare smile because of his half-belief, Sasaki Fuyumi couldn't understand why she was laughing.
"So, this project is still ongoing?"
"Because the results were often unsatisfactory, the superiors cut off the funding and provided fewer experimental subjects. Otherwise, I wouldn't be chatting with you here."
After hearing her words, Sasaki Fuyumi remembered her smile just now, his eyes widened instantly, and he gritted his teeth:
"So, the purpose of telling me this is to persuade me to change my gender to gain a few years of life?"
"Let's give it a try. Anyway, it's just a few words."
Without the embarrassment of being exposed, Fujitsubaki saw that he really had no intention of giving it a try, so she lost the desire to continue:
"This is my business card. If anyone around you has ideas, or if you change your mind, remember to call me. The agency fee will not be less for you."
"Who in the right mind would want to try it..."
Glancing at the phone number on the card, Sasaki Fuyumi muttered softly as he looked at the closed door.
Then, he casually tossed the business card into the backpack on the bedside table.
After that, he was waiting for the nurse to tell her when he could leave when a chaotic sound of footsteps accompanied by a knock on the door echoed outside.
Thud, thud —
"Come in!"
Fuyumi Sasaki, thinking it was his original guardian, closed the book he took out of his school bag.
But when he looked up, he saw two women and two men whom he didn't recognize.
Well, it wouldn't be accurate to say that he didn't know them at all.
After all, he at least, had an impression of the girl standing in front of him.
Because she was the girl saved by his predecessor.
She was wearing a white knitted vest and a matching black short skirt, with a full and shapely figure, deep brown hair ending in a large red butterfly at the back of her head, the sleeves at her wrists rolled up a bit, revealing fair arms carrying a basket.
At this moment, this girl with youthful and beautiful features and an exquisite face blinked her blue eyes as clear as the sky and looked at Sasaki Fuyumi with deep concern and gratitude in her eyes.
"Why are you sitting up? Lie down quickly; your body is not fully recovered yet!"
After entering the house and seeing his state clearly, the gratitude in the girl's eyes turned into eagerness, and even her originally gentle and careful steps sped up.
She walked three steps up to Sasaki Fuyumi and placed the fruit basket she was carrying on the table.
Then, she hurriedly stretched out her soft little hands, trying to tuck him into the bed.
Catching the weak little hand pushing his chest, the boy shook his head and smiled:
"The doctor said there is nothing wrong. Once the examination is completed, I can be discharged..."
"Excuse me, are you..."
Knowing who she was but not her name, Fuyumi Sasaki asked for her name.
And Akane, who was wrapped in a pair of warm hands, gently pulled out her hand with a blush on her face, then took two steps back and bowed ninety degrees to Sasaki, who was sitting on the bed.
"My name is Himemiya Akane; thank you very much for saving me before!"
The shock caused by the toppling of the mountain was visible to the naked eye.
Facing the girl's rich and generous gratitude, the boy retracted his eyes, which had moved downward due to gravity, and waved his hands unnaturally: "It's okay, it's okay. It's what I should do. I believe that even without me, someone else would have saved you."
This was originally just a polite comment from Fuyumi Sasaki, but after Akane heard it, she couldn't help but think of her boyfriend's behaviour at that time, which was like being scared out of his wits.
But she also knew that this had nothing to do with her boyfriend, so she couldn't blame him.
So, after dispelling the fleeting distracting thoughts in her mind, the girl turned sideways and introduced the two boys and one girl standing behind her.
"This is my sister, Ayumi."
"Hello, handsome; how are you feeling now?"
"Not bad."
Sitting on the hospital bed, Sasaki Fuyumi, with amazed eyes, looked at the stunning woman who walked out from behind Himemiya Akane and sat on the edge of the bed.
Her dark red, slightly curled long hair casually spread out, shining dazzlingly under the sunlight from the window.
The feeling, as if she had applied a beauty filter, made Sasaki involuntarily tilt his head back.
And because the distance was slightly wider, he also noticed the mature and plump figure of this beautiful elder sister.
Unlike her younger sister, who was youthful and beautiful, this eldest sister, who was wearing a dark purple dress and black garters, exuded a natural royal-sister temperament, giving people an extremely close feeling.
And the purple shawl between her white-as-jade arms added a touch of elegance to her.
Although she didn't have any expensive decorations on her body, she still gave off that graceful and luxurious feeling.
It was very rude to look at people too much.
So as soon as Akane finished speaking, Sasaki Fuyumi turned his head very naturally and looked at the man standing next to him. The man was wearing a dark plaid shirt, and his face could not be called handsome, but he was a young man with a gentle temperament.
"This is my lover, Sawamura Asato."
"Hello, I am Sasaki Fuyumi."
"Hello, thank you very much for saving Akane."
"It's okay, no problem..."
Fuyumi Sasaki, who didn't like their politeness, looked at the other young man standing next to Asato Sawamura.
Looking at the young man with yellow hair who was fashionably dressed, upright, and handsome, he felt a sense of rejection for no reason in his heart.
This feeling came very suddenly and lingered in his heart.
He couldn't figure out the reason, maybe it was because of intuition, or maybe it was due to some sudden change in his body, but he was used to following his feelings, so he still labelled this young man with a warm smile as 'unkind'.
But since the two parties had never known each other before, there would naturally be no disagreements, so he did not show any repulsive look, but instead outlined a smile very naturally.
"Hello!"
"My name is Kamisaka Kyousuke, hello!"
