Chapter 41 The Phantom Troupe Leader of Meteor City 41 Want to come over? ...
The tense atmosphere gradually dissipated.
Ayana's gaze passed over Phinks and landed on Kuroro: "Kuroro, could you please help me carry Feitan into my room?"
Kuroro always listened to her.
He didn't ask any more questions, just nodded, and asked Nobunaga for help. The two of them carefully lifted the unconscious Feitan from the sofa and headed upstairs to Ayana's room.
"Hey, where are you taking him?!" Finks frowned, trying to stop them.
“Trust me, Phinks.” Ayana took a deep breath and looked at Phinks solemnly. “I have a way. I can definitely get Feitan out of danger. I just need some time, okay?”
The girl's undisguised sincerity left Phinks speechless for a moment. He hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement.
Feitan was carried by Chrollo and Nobunaga to Aiana's room and placed on her bed. Afterward, the two of them left the room, closed the door, and left only Aiana and Feitan in the room.
Although Uvogin still had doubts and didn't know what Ayana was going to do, he had an almost instinctive trust in her. Worried about being disturbed inside, he simply sat down at the door of Ayana's room, making it clear that he wouldn't allow anyone to disturb the people inside.
Only Ayana and the unconscious Feitan remained inside.
She locked the door from the inside, let out a long sigh of relief, and the composure she had been forcing loosened slightly, as exhaustion and the pain from her wounds washed over her.
But Ayana didn't dare to delay. She quickly opened the system shop and bought several bottles of healing potion.
Almost instantly, several small bottles filled with blue liquid appeared in Ayana's hands.
She hurried to the bedside, carefully lifted Feitan's head, and tried to feed Feitan the healing potion.
Feitan's eyes remained tightly closed, his face ashen, and his breathing weak.
Ayana held the bottle to Feitan's chapped lips and slowly poured in the medicine.
The medicine slid down Feitan's throat, and soon, the hideous, everted wounds on Feitan's body began to heal at an extremely fast pace.
His swollen eye was slowly subsiding, and although it couldn't fully recover immediately, it was no longer as frightening as before.
Ayana quickly gave Feitan another bottle of healing potion.
After a few minutes, Feitan's breathing gradually became steady, his wounds were almost completely healed, and his face regained its color.
Although his strength had not fully recovered and he was still weak, he was clearly out of danger.
"I'm so tired."
Ayana finally relaxed completely, leaning weakly against the wall, and gave herself another bottle of healing potion.
Now all the medicine has been used up.
The empty glass bottles gradually disappeared.
[The system has detected that the host has worked very hard in this mission and successfully retrieved the name of the key figure [Feitan]. A special reward will be given.]
[Shield Armor] x1, 200 points.
[Host, would you like to change into your new equipment?]
Ayana was exhausted and had no time to check the details of the Shield Armor or see what it was. She simply clicked "confirm" and collapsed on the ground, wanting nothing more than to rest.
But there were several people waiting outside, and she had to reassure Phinks.
Otherwise, if our own people start fighting, it would be a real loss.
The door was opened from the inside, revealing a crack.
A weary girl's voice came from inside: "Alright, Feitan is temporarily out of danger..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Phinks squeezed in sideways.
Uvogin reached out to grab him, but it was too late; he could only watch as Phinks pushed the door open.
The door was flung open, revealing the interior. Everyone froze, their faces filled with disbelief.
The boy on the bed was still unconscious, but the color had returned to his face, which had been ashen.
Almost all the wounds covering his body had miraculously healed, as if they had never existed.
"This...how is this possible?!" Phinks suddenly looked at Ayana. "What did you do?"
Kuroro also cast a questioning and puzzled look at them, as did the others, who were all deeply puzzled by the same thing.
Although they were just young teenagers, they had basic physiological knowledge and naturally knew that Feitan had almost died just now, so how could he have recovered in just a few minutes?
The air in the room became tense again.
Ayana leaned against the wall. Although the healing potion had relieved her fatigue to some extent, she still felt extremely tired.
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and recited the prepared statement: "This is a life-saving medicine passed down in my family. My parents were afraid something would happen to me, so they specially left me this as a last resort."
She paused, lowered her head, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "But there was only one serving, and it's all used up now."
Phinks glanced at Ayana, then at Rebound, whose breathing had stabilized, seemingly deep in thought. Ultimately, however, he only managed to squeeze out a voice through clenched teeth: "If Feitan encounters any further problems..."
“He’ll be alright.” Ayana opened her eyes and answered confidently, “He just needs time to rest and recover, just like me.”
As she spoke, she stood up, intending to kick the others out of the room so she could get some rest, but then she suddenly remembered that Feitan had already taken her bed.
Although she could indeed get those men to carry Feitan out, her sheets were already soaked in blood and in a mess. Even if she wanted to sleep tonight, she would have to change her sheets and blankets.
Thinking about this, Ayana felt a headache coming on.
“…Hey, um.” Finks suddenly spoke up.
The boy seemed not to have apologized. He awkwardly grabbed a handful of his short hair, shifted his gaze slightly, and said, word by word, "I was too hasty just now. Thanks."
He paused, then awkwardly said, "And... I'm sorry about earlier."
Ayana looked up at Phinks with some surprise.
Seeing the boy's extremely awkward yet apologetic expression, she felt her fatigue ease considerably. She chuckled softly, shook her head, and said, "It's alright, I understand you're just worried about Feitan."
Seeing that the girl didn't hold it against him, Finks visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
He pointed to the door and said, "You definitely can't sleep in that bed tonight. Why don't you sleep in my room? I came from outside too. This is your room. I'll just find somewhere to make do for the night."
He spoke bluntly, saying that he would just find a place near Feitan and make do for the night.
But Ayana's mind conjured up the image of Phinks' room, which she guessed was already filled with the smell of sweat.
She frowned instinctively and immediately rejected Finks in her mind.
Although she was indeed grateful for Phinks's kindness, Ayana still couldn't accept sleeping in a room filled with a strong masculine atmosphere.
Even just imagining it made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
“No need, Phinks, I appreciate your kindness, but I…” Ayana was about to politely decline and find a suitable excuse, but Kuroro, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, interrupting Ayana.
"Ayana, come to my room and rest."
That sounds a bit odd.
All eyes immediately fell on Kuroro. Apart from the simple-minded Uvogin, everyone else had their own strange expressions.
"My room is very clean." The person who said this was quite at ease, with no discomfort on their face, as if they were simply making a perfectly natural suggestion.
He blinked innocently and said, "Ayana, you've been to my room before, you know how clean it is. You can rest peacefully in my room."
These words made Phinks touch his nose, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
He had a feeling that both Kuroro and Ayana were implying that he wasn't so innocent.
But God is my witness, as a teenager who is still in his adolescence, he is very innocent, okay!
But Phinks' emotional intelligence was quite high, at least higher than Uvogin's. He had already noticed that there was an indescribable atmosphere between Chrollo and Ayana that no one else could get involved in, so he shrugged and tactfully pulled the still clueless Uvogin to leave.
Uvogin was still a little unhappy, and kept shouting, "What are you doing? Ayana can sleep in my room too! Don't pull me, you..."
"Sleep in your room? Even if Aiana were willing, Kuroro probably wouldn't." Phinks chuckled, giving Kuroro a meaningful glance, and added, "You'd better watch out, or Kuroro might eat you up~"
Uvogin couldn't understand the meaning behind Phinks' words, but his attention was already successfully drawn to Phinks. As he followed him outside, he kept shouting, "Hey, what do you mean? Why did Kuroro eat me?"
Nobunaga, who was still inside, understood the meaning behind Phinks' words. He looked at Kuroro, then at Ayana, coughed, and said in a serious tone, "Be mindful of the impact."
Then he went outside.
Only Ayana and Chrollo remained inside.
Ayyana: ...
Kuroro: ...
The atmosphere inside the room suddenly became very awkward.
Both of them chose to remain silent.
But continuing in silence like this wasn't a solution, so Kuroro broke the silence and asked, "Ayana, do you want to come over?"
Ayyana: ...
She hadn't understood why Finks had spoken that way before, but now she understood completely.
If she really agrees to sleep in Kuroro's room, where will she sleep, and where will Kuroro sleep?
Something's not right. Something's nine out of ten things is wrong.
