Chapter 991: Chapter 27: Physicians Cannot Heal Themselves (Final)
“…If,” Little Manaka said, “if one day Ayane also finds her important person, she’ll leave my family too. Then I’ll be living alone.”
“Living alone is quite lonely. When that ti cos, you can co live at my place.” Gongsun Ce adjusted his glasses. “With a connection, you will never be lonely again.”
Little Manaka looked at his sincere eyes, blushing with a smile.
“No backing out.”
“You have my word!”
Chikou Zhenfan leisurely returned to the containnt cabin, back to their Celestial City. There lay her past mories, her current career, and the future waiting for her ahead.
Gongsun Ce flew back to Hundred Birds City. At the top of the ancient tree’s canopy, the Dawn Star was ready to set sail. The crew waited for him on the deck, Qiluo was shaking a little wooden puppet in her hand, a small souvenir they had picked in recent days.
Gongsun Ce conscientiously lay on the cold deck, steeling himself, “I’ll accept whatever cos, without complaint!”
The lady crossed her arms and said, “For the next week, you’ll be cooking.”
“Understood, ma’am!”
“Once you understand, quickly get up; we’re about to leave.” Shiyu Ling lazily remarked.
“Understood… huh?” Gongsun Ce said blankly, “Just letting off like that?!”
Qin Qianbai pulled Gongsun Ce up, pointing at his forehead, “You’re the master of the house, idiot.”
“…In deep awe and respect!”
The Dawn Star flew up in the sunlight, leaving the vibrant forest behind, soaring towards the blue sky.
Everything about the chanical State was left behind as they embarked on a new journey.

Days later, Celestial City, Cecil Laboratory.
Reena Cecil held today’s report, looking at her researcher with eyes that could be described as terrifying.
“You conducted extra verification? Corrected theoretical flaws? And intend to personally participate in the Machine God Project?”
“I submitted a report in advance,” Little Manaka said.
Doctor Cecil stood up from her desk, walked around her in a circle, and inhaled sharply, “You’ve been brainwashed by the old hag?”
“I witnessed Bai Aoli Dadarian’s madness firsthand, and her talent is not even on par with yours.” Little Manaka remained unperturbed, “In thirty to forty years, you might very well beco a more intense lunatic than her, creating fantasies wilder than those of the Chikou Project. Even for the future of biochemistry, I need to beco an expert with more authority than you, to set a model that upholds the foundation of conscience in this industry.”
Doctor Cecil fell into her chair, laughing loudly, pointing at the superpower user’s nose.
“You’ve really got guts, Chikou Zhenfan. This defiant attitude is just like how I was in the old days!” she said with a sinister smile, “But you little brat are still ten thousand years away from reaching ! When you beco Dr. Chikou, then you can talk to about your academic prowess and authority. For now, go get to work on Project No. 4, right away, imdiately!”
“When I beco Dr. Chikou, I will make sure to pull you down from this position.” Little Manaka retorted.
They argued for a while, as usual, and afterward, Little Manaka clocked out to chat idly with a junior. Kardesia joined her for burgers at a fast-food restaurant, while Ayane sipped on a strawberry milkshake nearby.
“Didn’t you say you didn’t like this profession, Senior?” “Little Manaka, you’ve found new motivation?”
“A profession and a hobby don’t necessarily have to be tied together,” Little Manaka said. She thought about the doctors she had t: Bai Aoli, Gray, Cecil, and herself.
“There’s always sothing else that needs us to bear actively, like conscience and responsibility.”
Stars sparkled in Kardesia and Ayane’s eyes.
“Wow, Senior, you’ve suddenly matured!” “Little Manaka is so cool~!”
Little Manaka smiled slightly and said in a tone different from the past.
“I am a doctor, after all.”
