Chapter 20 Poison him

   After the wilderness survival training, the heroine Doris obtained the God of War mecha without any doubts.

   Facing the Eagle mecha that she has long dreamed of, the heroine Doris does not seem very happy.

   Because this mecha was... not won by her.

   At that time, when the wilderness survival training was coming to an end, Doris heard the howling of the alien beast and immediately rushed in that direction. Unexpectedly, by the time she arrived, the rescue planes had already left, and the logistics personnel were cleaning the battlefield.

   The ground was covered with residual blood, and the alien beast with half its head missing was leaning there, its eye missing an eyeball staring straight at her, like a black hole, trying to suck her in.

   This is the first time Doris has seen an alien beast, a huge, terrifying, weird creature. This is the enemy they will face throughout their lives as psychics and imperial warriors.

   But she wasn't the one who killed this beast. She couldn't accept the Eagle mecha cunningly.

   When Doris appeared in Arthur's ward, Nicola was telling Arthur fairy tales.

   "Once upon a time, there was a girl named Cinderella. She had a stepmother. After the stepmother, there was a stepfather. The stepmother was not a good thing, and neither was the stepfather..."

   "I don't want to hear it." Arthur croaked, his eyes red.

   Nicola ignored it and continued, "My stepsister is not a good person either..."

   "Lilith, shut up!"

   "If you laugh, I'll shut up." Nicola put her chin in one hand and looked at Arthur.

   Arthur's eyes turned red with anger, "Nope."

   At the door of the ward, Doris looked at the inexplicable and strange scene inside, neither entering nor retreating.

   "I come to see you guys..."

   Nicola looked up at her, then lowered her head and continued to read fairy tales.

   "I heard you were injured, are you okay?" Doris said dryly, her eyes wandering over Arthur and Lilith.

   "It's okay." Arthur tugged at the corners of his lips.

   Nicola continued to flip through the book, the voice clattering with impatience.

   Doris turned to look at her.

   Noticing Doris' gaze, Nicola raised the fairy tale book in her hand, and explained: "I am checking what's the end of story."

   Doris:...

   "I brought you some nutritional supplements." Doris put the nutritional supplements on the table.

   "Thank you." Arthur said hoarsely.

   This was the first person to see him since he was hospitalized...excluding Lilith.

   Arthur's eyes brightened slightly.

   Nicola was sitting on the small stool beside the hospital bed. When she saw the boy's twitching lips, she suddenly stood up and stood behind Doris and said, "You guys go on, don't mind me."

   System, "...it's useless even if you stand behind the heroine, the hero is smiling at the heroine."

   Nicola: Can't she even stole a smile from Doris?

   Nicola felt bored and turned around to leave the ward, but Doris stopped her and said, "I want to fight with you. I think there is something wrong with the ownership of the Eagle mecha."

   Strong woman Doris thinks she is invincible.

   Nicola was not interested in the Eagle mecha, she said directly: "I give up."

   Doris:...

   Facing Lilith who was not even willing to struggle, Doris's expression became extremely complicated. She felt that Lilith seemed different from before, no, very different.

   Lilith used to be competitive, gloomy and weird... Although she is still gloomy and weird now, she no longer has the competitive spirit and has become extremely casual, as if she has no desires or wishes.

   "Fight him." Nicola pointed her finger at Arthur, and suddenly raised her lips when she saw the boy's overly beautiful face.

   She was born gorgeous, and her red hair was naturally soft and shiny. When she smiled, her eyes were lifted up. She looked bright, but in her bones she revealed a gloomy tone, "It's best to be beaten to death."

   Doris: ...this young couple had a fight?

   "I don't want it either." Arthur tilted his head, his voice weak.

   "I've already given you a chance." Since she didn't want it, Doris didn't force it, so she opened the ward door and went out.

   Nicola stood there, watching Arthur stare at Doris's back and leave, and suddenly remembered that these two were official couples.

   But what does this have to do with her?

   Jokes aren't working, fairy tales aren't working, Nicola is out of ideas.

   "If you kill me, he will laugh. Not only can he laugh, but he can also laugh forever."

   system:...

   Nicola said: "Isn't there something illegal here that can make people smile?"

   The system said, "...Still not a sincere smile."

   "Can you still laugh sincerely even if you are about to die?"

   system,"..."

   After Nicola finished arguing with the system, she suddenly stood up again. Under Arthur's vigilant gaze, she pushed open the door to the ward and walked out. She went straight to a doctor and asked, "Is there a medicine that can make people giggle?"

   doctor:...

   "Umm, no?" The doctor exhausted all his life's knowledge and tried to search in his head.

   "What about the medicine that makes people stupid?"

   Doctor: "...Yes?"

   The system finally stopped being silent, "Are you going to poison the protagonist to a dumb?"

   Nicola thinks this proposal is very good. As long as Arthur is stupid, she can do whatever she wants. Isn't this very convenient?

   "No!" The system jumped up excitedly, "If the protagonist lost his mind, the subsequent plot will not be able to proceed, and it will fall into an infinite loop. You still won't die."

   Damn!

   Nicola refused to give up, "Is it okay to be half stupid?"

   system:...

   Poisoning the protagonist to death doesn't work, so Nicola returns to the ward.

   Arthur curled up on the hospital bed, his black hair wet with sweat and his whole body shaking.

   Nicola noticed something was wrong with him and walked over after thinking for a moment.

   On the large hospital bed, the boy also put on a blue hospital gown. His short black hair seemed to be longer, sticking to the back of his neck, revealing his slender butterfly bones. He was clearly trembling, but his face was burning red.

   Um?

   Is this... a fever?

   Nicola held her chin up and asked the system, "If he gets sick and got stupid, does it have nothing to do with me, right?"
