Since the public inquiry, May had not returned to her residence in the Imperial City, but had remained in the dical laboratory of the Imperial University. It was twelve days later when she finally returned to her residence.
At first glance, May was so exhausted that one would think that she must have worked tirelessly on her experints. Her face was gaunt, her eyes bloodshot, and dark circles ford under her eyes. The sa was true for Roni, who had transferred May, and the two of them were in a state of utter disarray.
When they ca back to the house, collapsed as they were, Rico suggested that they take a bath. Naturally, I objected. I said that they should be thrown into bed imdiately. Rico, however, was insistent, and the two of them headed for the bath, dragging their tired bodies behind them. And sure enough, they drowned in the bath.
"You have to be careful in the bath after an all-nighter. When I get into the bathtub, I often fall asleep due to the feeling of safety and comfort. It's OK if the bathtub is small, but our bathtub is big. I would drown in the bathtub. It is an ironclad rule that you should not soak in the bathtub after an all-nighter.
I mutter smugly to myself as I help May out of the bathtub. Rico, however, is busy taking care of Roni. Rico's attitude is one of guilt. Later, when I'm nicer to her, I get to see a very cute Rico.
In my previous life, I had experienced working all night long for the first ti in three days and three nights, and ca ho dizzy. At that ti, a senior colleague told , "Don't soak in the bathtub. At that ti, I did not heed such advice and got into the bathtub. I still rember the feeling of being in the bathtub, which was really nice and heavenly. And then... my mory fades and I realize that five hours have passed. Of course, the bathtub was filled with water, and I felt terrible. One of the older students drowned in the bathtub and was almost sent to the other side. The bathtub after a long night is dangerous.
May and Roni continued to sleep like mud. They slept in a stupor for a whole day. While they were eating breakfast, May suddenly burst into the dining room.
"Good morning, May."
"I'm sorry, what day is it today?"
"It's the morning of the 14th of September, i."
"Yo... thank God... I had a dream that I missed the deadline.
May slumps to the floor with a heap. Roni says she is still sleeping. She asks May to sit down and have breakfast with her.
"But first, Alyria... Alyria..."
"I'm right here."
When Rico brings Alilia to her, May looks happy and takes her in her arms. Then, she suddenly opened her breast and began to breastfeed Allyria.
"Ugh.... My breasts were so tight during the experint..."
"i, you mustn't strain yourself. Your breasts must have been so tight and sore.
"I was milking, but... Thank you, Rico, for Alyria.
May is nursing in pain. Alyria was hungry, too, and she was drinking more and more of May's breast milk. Finally, when the nursing was over and Alilia was sleeping peacefully, May started to eat her breakfast.
"Oh... it's delicious. It's delicious. Thank you, Peris..."
May eats her breakfast with a hearty, delicious look on her face. The girls had their lunches delivered to the laboratory every day, but they seed to eat or not. There was also a bath, but she only bathed in hot water to make her sleepy, and was mostly absorbed in the reproduction of the experints.
"So, how was the reproduction experint going?"
May stopped eating and looked down.
"It was all a failure.
"Failed? What do you an?"
At that mont, the dining room door opened and Loni appeared.
"Good morning Lo."
"Slls good...my stomach...my stomach..."
Apparently, he is one step away from total starvation. As if that were the case, I had made a lot of bread, soup, fried chicken, and salad for Roni. She popped them into her mouth one by one.
Roni, you can eat as you go. May just told that the replication experint failed, didn't she?"
Roni nodded cockily as she ate.
"We tried an experint that Klimiana has done, where we put a human, a beastman and an ogre, each with their own disease, together. They claid that the disease would develop within a day or two, but there was no sign of it at all. We kept them together for five days just to be sure, but the beastn were not infected at all.
Roni broke off and gulped down a mouthful of food.
"The point is.... Do you want so more fried chicken? Excuse . And... bread..."
Roni is holding up one hand, chewing on a piece of bread.
"I can't prove Klimiana's theory that Kirisrei, Geischa, and Leroyans are infected through the bodily fluids of the beasts. None of the beastn and ogres experinted on were infected. Oh, and the "furaidopotato"... It's totally fine. You can eat them. Uh... Yes, there is no special redy for sothing that doesn't infect, but we made a special redy for now... We didn't want to do it, but we administered it to the affected people, but we couldn't confirm that the pathogen disappeared or that their symptoms were improved.
"So does that an that Klimiana published a lie?"
I can't say for sure yet. Maybe it has been successful in Klimiana, maybe in other countries..."
May replies with an anxious look on her face. Roni gulps down her food again.
"Don't worry, Mrs. May," Loni says. We've experinted so much. We've done so much that we can't do any more. Our experints were perfect. What's not there is not there, and what's not there is not there.
"Yes, May. Be confident. You've been trying so hard, over and over and over again, and you keep getting the sa results. It can't be helped. That's all right.
"Hi... But it's such a good argunt that it was published in Sanctuary..."
"May, you have to believe in yourself. Sanctuary is not absolute. Because it's made by human beings, right? There must be mistakes. I'm most afraid of being wrong and being right. If our experint is wrong, we can always redo it next ti. It's okay, have confidence!"
"...I understand."
May's eyes looked as if she had made up her mind. I nodded silently.
"Then I am very sorry, but I have a favor to ask of Mr. Linos.
Roni cos over to talk to , sandwich in hand. I an, is he still going to eat it?
I can help you in any way I can.
"The amount of data we have collected from the experints over the past few days has been enormous... I would like to ask Linos-sama to place a shifting ward over the data and store it here in the house..."
"What's all this? That's a lot of money.
I wait for Roni to finish her sandwich, and then I transfer with her to the dical laboratory of the Imperial University. There I find Chi-wan quietly putting away his experintal equipnt. He gets furious as soon as he sees us.
"Too late! What the hell were you doing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Roni bows his head.
"My apologies! I had a bath in the house of Mr. Linos and passed out!"
"Roni! All you were supposed to do was send Lady May ho! You left the lab empty for a whole day! It disqualifies you as a researcher not to be able to clean up after yourself! I'll fix it when I get it out! How many tis have I told you to put it away when you use it!"
"I'm sorry!"
"Chi... Chiwan... Don't be so angry. Well, Roni was tired too. It's all right. Did he spend the whole day yesterday cleaning up? I'm sorry. It's all cleaned up. Loni asked to co and get the results of your experints... where are they?"
Chi-wan stared at , but soon returned to his usual manner.
"Thank you for coming all the way here, Mr. Linos. Here are the results of the experint.
With that, he opens the door to the next room.
"What the hell is this? ！！！！"
The room was filled with thick piles of booklets, dozens of them.
"Are these all the results of experints?"
"Yes, it is. We wanted to do more, but the beasts ran out of power..."
Chi-wan apologizes apologetically.
I look over and see all of the beasts in the jail, all of them on their knees facing us, their hands clasped above their heads and shaking. They are all crying and saying "I'm sorry" as if it were an incantation.
"No... it's okay. But the results of this experint... we can't carry it without using the transition boundary, can we? Oh, there's an infinite storage, I'll put them in it and I'll hold them myself."
"That would be very helpful."
I store dozens of experintal results in the infinite storage.
"Zhuang, did you sleep?"
I did. For a couple of hours three days ago.
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"Actually, I'm a little sleepy."
You can have the bed in the house. Sleep well. I'll fix you so food. Eat well.
I would appreciate it if you would do that for .
Chi-wan moved happily into the house and went to his bedroom.
"Roni, what does Chi-wan look like? Are you okay?"
He doesn't need to sleep for about three days. I can't tell you how many tis he has kept up all night..."
Roni lants with a disgusted look on her face.
"But Mr. Zhuang really helped out. Thank you."
May opens her mouth with a relieved look on her face. At that mont, Luara enters the dining room.
"Oh, Ruara, did Chi-wan go to the bedroom properly? You didn't collapse on the way out, did you?"
"Yes, I'm fine. But it slled really bad, so I boiled a bath. You are taking a bath now.
"A bath? ... No way..."
I hurriedly peeked into the bath and found Chi-wan lying on his back in the bathtub, already unconscious, but drowning with a happy face....
