The sign hanging in front of the largest organ trading store in the Night Steel City black market indicated that it was temporarily closed.
Inside the room, Oyado and I looked at Mi Xiuya, who was tightly hugging her younger brother, with a helpless expression on our faces. Mi Xiuya was sipping tea that she had somehow managed to find.
Of course, I confirmed that the tea was not made using organs because I saw tea leaves floating on the surface of the water. However...
I said, "Are you guys done? You've been holding onto Chilia since we came in. Your sibling obsession has reached an alarming level, hasn't it? I know a good clinic for treating such conditions. Do you want to go check it out?"
"I see. Thank you for bringing my little brother here. Although I don't like humans, you have become my friends~," the other party said with a smile. However, I sensed a dangerous aura from her.
Yes, this dangerous aura was not only revealed by her title, but also resembled the dangerous aura of someone like Fran or Ms. Mary. The Elven girl standing in front of me exuded the same aura of cold-bloodedness as Fran and the craziness of Ms. Mary.
Although I didn't know what had happened to her during the time she was brought to the human world, one thing was for sure... There were definitely not many good things that had happened.
I didn't intend to pry into her scars. Otherwise, even if I were her friend or something else, she might make me experience all of her pain.
I definitely didn't want that to happen!
However, she seemed fine for now. With her long purple hair, neatly dressed in a white nurse uniform, and deep purple eyes that were always smiling, there were no hints of anything on her outward appearance.
Yes, on the outside...
"Big sister, you're hugging too tightly..."
Chilia said in pain.
"Sorry, sorry. I got a little too excited," Mi Xiuya apologized, loosening her grip a bit, but her hands were still holding onto him.
It seems that Chilia will definitely have a happy life from now on. Yeah.
"By the way, how did you find me? I thought no one would discover me until I had enough money to have someone take him out," she asked.
"Well... it's because of this," I said, taking out the badge that Aliyah had given me.
"This thing let us know which country you were in. But we found you because I happened to come to the black market to save someone."
"Save someone?"
"Don't worry, they will solve their own problems."
I hope those kidnappers can reveal who ordered them before being tortured to death. Otherwise, they won't have any chance of survival.
"I see, that's good then. But did you guys provoke someone? In the Night Steel City, there shouldn't be anyone bored enough to kidnap others, right?"
"There's nothing we can do. According to our investigation, it seems that the other party only wanted to kidnap someone else, and we accidentally got involved."
"I see," Mi Xiuya nodded.
"I can understand that. You probably entered as mercenaries, so it should be related to the people who came with you. Well, I don't care, but don't let my brother be in danger from now on. From now on, Chilia will be with me."
Yeah, this person is beyond saving.
"Well, whatever. I do have a question, though," I said.
"Yeah, what's the question?"
"Who taught you surgical techniques?"
"Ah...?"
The other person looked surprised.
"So, you are the 'same kind' that the master mentioned~"
"Same kind?"
"Yes, that's right. The master said this before leaving."
"I see, the master?"
It seemed that Mihua was saved by this master, and this master... seemed to be like us, someone from another world.
"Yes, the master said that if they meet someone who mentions 'surgery,' then that person is the same kind as the master. The master is called Hakuyue and everyone else calls her Doctor Hakuyue."
"I see..."
"Yes, but the master is always out, and we never know when she'll come back. So, if you want to meet her, it'll depend on luck."
"Well, let's see if there's an opportunity."
A doctor, huh? With the help of magic in this world, maybe they can perform miracles like resurrection.
But who knows, we'll talk about it when we meet.
"Well, since that's the case, I won't disturb you any longer. My companions are waiting for me. But I do have one more question, do you know where I can buy information in this black market?"
"Well... actually, many people provide that service."
"For example?"
"Myself~"
Mihua said happily.
"I see, then please help me investigate something."
"What is it?"
"Help me investigate who wants to kidnap the Marshall family."
"Marshall... I see, so that's what it is."
The other person suddenly realized and looked at me.
"I know what's going on. I advise you all to leave Nightsteel City as soon as possible."
"Why?"
"Because the one who wants to kidnap the Marshall family is the ruler of this city."
The ruler of this city?
"The Sheldon family... right?"
