"Here."
Miyazaki Ren quickly caught the black card thrown by Gin. It was light and thin, and it was a bank card.
"Thank you--"
Gin is very cool. As soon as Miyazaki Ren started talking, he walked away with his vodka. As the leader of the action team, he is very busy and does not have the spare time to listen to the kid's corny lines.
Miyazaki Ren happily accepted this windfall and once again gave her elder brother a thousand words of praise in her heart.
Dr. Shiraishi's words are not exaggerated. There are indeed a lot of tests to be done in the next two days.
This forced him to change into the robe used exclusively for experimental subjects, a plain white cotton robe with nothing on it except a number.
When Miyano Shiho came in, Miyazaki Ren was painting on his robe.
"Shiho~ you're here." Miyazaki Ren heard the voice, turned around, and saw a calm brown-haired little girl pushing the door open, and quickly greeted her warmly.
"What are you doing?" Miyano Shiho looked at the robe spread out on the laboratory table with some curiosity.
"Painting, this robe is really ugly." Miyazaki Ren curled her lips in disgust, and continued to lie back on the laboratory table to paint, "Shiho came quite early, and she is really hardworking."
Although she hadn't seen her neighbor for several years, Shiho Miyano still had a deep memory of him. Thinking of Dr. Shiraishi's temper, she kindly reminded him, "Dr. Shiraishi will be unhappy if you do this."
"No, Dr. Bald will praise me instead." Miyazaki Ren turned her head and winked at Miyano Shiho. "If you don't believe me, we can make a bet, how about that?"
Although she is precocious, she is still an 11-year-old child after all. Miyano Shiho still retains some childish characteristics. When she heard about the bet, she became excited.
She didn't think she would lose the bet. Dr. Shiraishi was a tyrant in the lab, a complete control freak. Everything had to be done according to his requirements, even the clothes. Dr. Shiraishi would definitely not accept Miyazaki Ren's behavior of painting on the experimental clothes.
"The Doctor won't allow that."
"Well, you're still young after all, hahaha." Miyazaki Ren smiled and sighed after hearing her words, "If Shiho is so sure, can you agree to one of my requests if you lose?"
Miyano Shiho's face was tense, "I won't lose."
Miyazaki Ren smiled but said nothing.
After a while, Dr. Shiraishi came in with a group of people in white coats. "Brandy, you have great artistic talent. You draw very well."
Hearing this, Miyano Shiho widened her eyes in surprise, and Miyazaki Ren raised her eyebrows, her pride evident in her words, "You have a good eye, Dr. Bald."
Dr. Shiraishi still had no intention of correcting his address, but instead talked about today's arrangements, "...This is the general arrangement for today. If there are no problems, we will prepare for the bone marrow puncture."
"Okay." Miyazaki Ren stretched lazily, took off her white robe neatly, and changed into the one she had modified. She seemed to be alone, with a calm expression. Her naked body glowed with a cold silver-white light under the laboratory light.
He jumped onto the laboratory table, turned sideways, hugged his knees and curled up.
When doing bone marrow puncture in the laboratory, the posterior superior iliac spine is often used as the sampling site. Miyazaki Ren had to take off the custom-made white robe she had just put on to expose her entire back. Because she was wearing a robe, her entire lower body was also exposed, and three-quarters of her body was exposed to the air.
"Hiss." Miyazaki Ren shuddered, "Next time, please give me a veil."
"Sakakibara, tell me why we need to collect bone marrow fluid from the posterior superior iliac spine." Dr. Shiraishi ignored Miyazaki Ren's complaints, scanned the white coats, and picked out a lucky one to ask.
"Yes!" Sakakibara is a tall man with half-long black curly hair tied into a small braid behind his head. "The main reason is that the bone marrow fluid is not easy to coagulate, so it is clearer under the microscope."
"That's right, Sakakibara. You will perform the bone marrow puncture. Don't use lidocaine."
Sakakibara nodded and saw the puncture kit being opened and disinfection started. He did not raise any doubts about what Dr. Shiraishi said.
After hearing Dr. Shiraishi say that no anesthesia was needed, Miyano Shiho gritted her teeth and asked, "Dr. Shiraishi, why don't you use anesthesia for the puncture today?"
Even when drawing blood yesterday, I had to be very careful so as not to hurt Miyazaki Ren. The pain of bone marrow puncture is much greater than that of drawing blood.
"Researcher Miyano, please take another look at today's schedule." Dr. Shiraishi admired the genius of Miyano Shiho. Although he was unhappy when he saw her raise questions, he still answered her questions.
Miyano Shiho has a good memory, and she knew the reason after a brief recollection. It takes about 12 hours for lidocaine to be completely metabolized in the human body, which will affect subsequent testing.
Those who are designated by Dr. Shiraishi to perform the operation are all the best in white coats. Sakakibara's movements are smooth and flowing. After successfully inserting the needle, he rotated the puncture needle left and right and slowly pushed it forward.
While Sakakibara was operating, Dr. Shiraishi was explaining the key points of the puncture. Other people in white coats were taking notes with pens and notebooks. They stared at Miyazaki Ren intently. Their eyes were not looking at a person, but at an object, a very valuable object.
No matter how skillful Sakakibara's movements were, the pain from the piercing was still unavoidable. Although he was very sensitive to pain, Miyazaki Ren had a high tolerance for pain and said nothing. Only the trembling muscles on his cheeks showed the pain he was enduring.
[Host, do you need to lower your pain shielding?] The system asked with some concern.
[No, the bald man has sharp eyes and will find anything unusual.]
Fortunately, this torture did not last too long. Sakakibara's movements were very skillful and the puncture and fluid extraction were completed in a short while.
"Brandy, well done. Take a break and we'll proceed to the next test later." Dr. Shiraishi was very satisfied with Miyazaki Ren's cooperation and generously gave her some time to rest.
"Thank you so much, bald guy." Miyazaki Ren replied weakly.
Dr. Shiraishi accepted his "thanks" with a smile, took the bone marrow fluid, and left with the group of people in white coats.
Miyano Shiho Tsuna was at the end of the team. Looking at Miyazaki Ren who was still curled up naked on the laboratory table, she thought for a moment and did not continue to follow the main group. Instead, she trotted back to the side of the laboratory table and picked up the robe that Miyazaki Ren had custom-made for her.
After undergoing a bone marrow puncture, Miyazaki Ren's body was covered in sweat. Miyano Shiho did not mind and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead and nose. Looking at the smiling neighbor brother with a pale face, she felt indescribable in her heart.
"Shiho, don't be so serious, smile~" Some people may be weak physically, but their mouths are still sharp. Seeing Miyano Shiho's tense look, Miyazaki Ren teased.
Miyano Shiho rolled his eyes at him, said nothing, and carefully put the robe on him.
"How about some candy? Eat the candy and smile." Miyazaki Ren took out a candy from somewhere like magic. The small turmeric-colored sugar cube in a transparent package was out of place in the cold mechanical laboratory.
I arrived at the laboratory early in the morning and hadn't had breakfast yet. I was also very hungry, so I angrily took the candy, tore open the package, and put the square candy into my mouth.
The spicy ginger smell was like the sound of a neighbor's house being renovated, stimulating Miyano Shiho's nerves in every way. "It's quite delicious."
Miyazaki Ren, whose prank failed, muttered unhappily, "Shiho is so young and already cheating. This is not good."
Miyano Shiho didn't bother to pay attention to this suddenly childish person, spit the ginger candy in her mouth onto a tissue and threw it into the trash can. She straightened her clothes and then turned around to chase in the direction that Dr. Shiraishi left.
The experiment not only gave Miyazaki Ren super sensitivity to pain, but also super recovery speed. Dr. Shiraishi's timing was just right. When he came back, Miyazaki Ren had recovered and was ready for the second round of testing.
After two days of physical examinations and treatments, Miyazaki Ren couldn't wait to pack up and leave the laboratory. Before leaving, she reminded Shiho to keep his custom-made lab coat and wear it next time.
"Doctor, why did you allow Brandy to paint on the lab coat?" Shiho Miyano asked curiously while holding the coat.
"Researcher Miyano, it wouldn't hurt to be a little more tolerant of such a precious and coordinated experiment." Various data tests showed that the newly developed drug had made progress. Dr. Shiraishi was in a good mood at the moment and was willing to answer Miyano Shiho's cute little questions.
Suddenly, Miyano Shiho understood Dr. Shiraishi's tolerance, which was a kind of condescending contempt.
......
When passing by the bushes on her way back to the dormitory, Miyazaki Ren saw two familiar figures, Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara. The two were squatting side by side, teasing a tabby cat.
"Come here, look here, do you want to eat it?" Matsuda Jinpei waved a dried fish.
"Come on, little cat, ignore the curly hair and eat this. The crab sticks are more delicious~" Hagiwara Kenji put the crab sticks in his hand under the kitten's chin.
Unfortunately, the little cat didn't give anyone any face. After a flash of white light, Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda's hands were injured and the cat left three marks on them.
The two men felt pain and the dried fish and crab sticks in their hands fell to the ground. The kitten took the opportunity to grab the spoils and jumped into the bushes.
"Damn it! Stop right there!" Matsuda Jinpei suddenly stood up, but stumbled and fell to the ground, with mud and leaves on his face.
"Really, Jinpei-chan, you better be careful." Hagiwara Kenji helplessly helped Matsuda Jinpei up, took out his handkerchief, and gently wiped the stains off his face. "You are a pool noodle after all, please take care of your face."
Miyazaki Ren, who originally wanted to say hello, watched the interaction between the two and suddenly felt that she was a bit redundant.
"Ah, Miyazaki, you're back. Why are you standing there without saying anything?" Matsuda Jinpei turned his head impatiently, trying to avoid Hagiwara Kenji's nagging, and saw Miyazaki Ren standing there silently.
Miyazaki Ren pushed her nonexistent glasses with her fingers, and a famous line flashed through her mind, and she blurted out: "I'm not here to separate you, I'm here to join you."
Matsuda Jinpei: “….”
Hagiwara Kenji: "...Miyazaki, the disease needs to be cured."
