Chapter 168 – Laboratory
The next day.
I rested comfortably at the hotel and attended various seminars, and then headed to the Alice Center’s lab in the afternoon, just as Seo-ah Lee said.
Rather than a laboratory, the site resembles a research center for a mega-corporation. I was able to meet Lee Seo-ah only after riding in a limousine and passing through the center for a while.
A grand entrance to the laboratory.
“Why are you so late~”
As soon as I got out of her limousine, Lee Seo-ah wrapped her arms around her and snuggled next to her. I frowned slightly and pushed her shoulder.
“… Do it in moderation. There are many eyes watching.”
“What do you think? We’re just a good older sister and younger brother.”
‘Are we… Good?’
“And do I look like someone who needs attention? Who would dare say anything to me?”
“.”
That’s right.
A child is alone in heaven and earth. Now that Alice, the head of the World Hunter Association, is out of the question, the person in real power is Lee Seo-ah.
If we were to exaggerate a little, she could be seen as having the authority of the President of the United States. Because the head of the World Hunter Association has that much influence.
So I headed inside to the lab with Lee Seo-ah hanging by my side.
Bodyguards and researchers lined up left and right in what looked like a building lobby.
It was not the scene of a typical company or association, but seemed like a mafia headquarters.
‘. The facilities are good.’
Once inside, I looked around and looked inside. Magnificent research facilities. It wasn’t much worse than the ADiah research lab in the cyberpunk world of the future.
It was mankind’s most advanced research facility.
Even when I entered the lab, she didn’t care about what people thought and stayed close to me and chattered.
“Did you sleep well last night? I prepared a special suite for you two. How was it?”
She happened to be about to complain about him, but Lee Seo-ah took the initiative to speak to her. I said with a hardened expression.
“… Don’t misunderstand. No matter how large the room is, you’re putting an adult man and woman in one room. What would other people say if they see it?”
“What are you leaving out? You guys were good too.”
“?”
When I tilted her head, she sniffed the back of my neck and said.
“You’re acting like a fool. Even now, you smell like Jooyoung’s perfume. You two spend the night lying around. Are you acting like a fool?”
His actions and tone make it seem like he knows everything that happened yesterday. I felt a chill running up my spine and looked at Lee Seo-ah with suspicious eyes.
“… Could it be that they installed a camera? How much do you know?”
If everyone had seen it, I was anxious that my shota version would have already been discovered.
The most undesirable aspect has been revealed to the most dangerous person.
Then, Lee Seo-ah looked surprised and poked my side.
“What? I just stabbed you, but did you really do it? You damn bastards. How many rooms and beds are there? Are you two sleeping together? Are you really dating?”
‘Oh my.’
I fell for Lee Seo-ah’s sly speaking style and ended up giving an honest report. Normally, I would have minimized my conversations with women, so things like this wouldn’t happen. I felt like I was really nervous in front of this woman.
“What. What are you talking about? Nothing happened.”
“You know that your ears turn red when you lie, right?”
“…”
Lee Seo-ah knows all my habits because we grew up together since childhood.
“And, since I was clinging to you yesterday, Jooyoung’s gaze wasn’t a joke?”
I even caught the jealous look Jooyoung sent.
“But when we started dating, I told you to date with my permission even if you were dating. If Jooyoung is not a strict bitch, I will admit it, but you have to do everything with my permission. Do you understand?”
“… Me and him are not the kind of relationship you think, and even if we were, I have no obligation to ask for your permission.”
I didn’t want to be dragged forward, so I mustered up my courage and spoke firmly to Lee Seo-ah.
If I nail it like this, it won’t interfere with my actions in the future.
However, at that moment, Seo Ah’s mood changed, and she spoke in a cold voice.
“Yeon, you’ve grown up a lot. You know how to talk back to your older sister.”
Lee Seo-ah’s narrowly curved eye corners.
“…!”
I saw this and her body stiffened.
Her gaze is somehow frightening. Is it a fear embedded in instinct? Is it because her erased memories are coming back to life in her unconsciousness?
I don’t know, but if it was the shota version, I would have peed right away.
“…”
“Oh, we’ve arrived~”
The woman I knew from this point pointed to her door again in a lively voice as if she had never done so before. As soon as they were chatting, her room appeared.
“Go in, wash up, and come out. Just follow the announcements and move.”
*
I went into the shower room, washed, and went through several cleaning and sterilization steps, including being immersed in water and being dried in a strong wind.
Of course, I took off the chastity belt, so I didn’t have to worry too much, and I also left my smartphone with the app installed on it with Jooyoung.
I’ve confirmed that there are enough needle points used to maintain my current body, so there shouldn’t be any problem.
Besides.
‘Yuria. Is there one?’
[Yep. It’s been a while~]
Since Yuria, who is currently in a spirit form, is by her side, she will be able to prepare even if something unexpected happens.
Although she’s a useless fairy, it’s reassuring to have her around in times like this. There’s no way they’ll find out that I can transform into Shota with this.
The white gown given to me after a long cleaning and sterilization process. I came out wearing a lab coat-like gown.
When I came out, there were several researchers in a pure white room dressed similarly to me.
Seoah Lee was also among the researchers. I asked with a slightly dissatisfied expression.
“So what research are you going to do?”
“First, I’ll start by collecting magic power and blood. I’ll also pull out a few body hairs. Furthermore, I need to analyze them.”
Afterward, I conducted a brief physical examination under the guidance of the researchers. As Lee Seo-ah said, analysis through magical power, blood, and body hair collection.
I also went into a strange machine to get an MRI or something like a gastroscopy.
Afterward, basic measurements such as running with electrodes scattered around the body and checking the heart rate and analysis using a magic attribute meter, etc.
In addition to a similar health check, these were basic tests used to test hunter abilities.
Of course, all my measurement results were high-level abilities that far exceeded the average of the public.
It was thanks to his basic diet that his body was healthy, his body trained in battle, and his natural talent for manipulating magical power.
Lee Seo-ah smiled at me after checking the results.
“Our Yeon is very healthy. I’m glad~”
“…”
I wanted to say that if it weren’t for you, I would be mentally healthier, but I stayed silent.
As I frowned, Lee Seo-ah tilted her head and asked.
“Did you have any pain during the blood drawing process? Did you have any pain? Who drew the blood? Just tell me your name. My sister will come right away…”
“What are you doing with a needle? Not a child.”
“Really? That’s good. Then, let’s move on to the next research.”
“Next research?”
Wasn’t that all over just now? When I asked again, Lee Seo-ah said with a sinister smile.
“It’s a sexual function test.”
What.
I trembled.
This is because the memory of the terrible experience I experienced in ADEAR’s laboratory suddenly came to mind. I asked with a skeptical voice.
“A sexual function test… Isn’t what I think it is, is it?”
“Is that right? Actually, all I’ve done so far is to give you a health checkup. This is the main point. Alice also ordered me to do this.”
“Suddenly what…”
Why on earth would Alice order this kind of research? Could it be that she knows my secret?
As Lee Seo-ah clung to me, she quietly placed her hand on my thigh and rubbed it.
Looking up at me, the corner of the eye curves like a fox. She whispered in my ear.
“I guess I gave you two the same room yesterday for no reason? You had a good time yesterday too, right? Here.”
“… Take it away.”
I slapped Lee Seo-ah’s hand away as it approached her lower body.
Then Lee Seo-ah shrugged her shoulders and said quietly.
“I played with it a lot when I was young, so what’s wrong? Anyway, let’s move on to the next study.”
Pair-
As Lee Seo-ah clapped her hands, the female researchers began to leave the room one by one. I asked as I watched them leave.
“What are you doing?”
“Well, it’s because I don’t want other bitches to see Yeon’s precious parts.”
“… What about men?”
When I glanced at the male researchers, Lee Seo-ah smiled.
“If you don’t like it, I’ll send you out. Then, you and your sister will conduct research alone. Is that okay?”
“…”
Holy shit.
I don’t want to expose myself in front of men I don’t even know, but I don’t know what might happen if I’m alone with this woman.
Although most of her old memories of living with Lee Seo-ah at her orphanage were forgotten and only an instinctive feeling of fear remained in her body, there was still something to be known.
‘If I study sexual function alone with Lee Seo-ah…’
That nothing good will ever happen to me.
Even though nearly 20 years had already passed, the instinctive reluctance that remained proved this.
I was agonizing between these options of death. Will you endure the momentary humiliation, or will you fall for Lee Seo-ah’s trick?
As I was thinking about it, Seo-Ah Lee gave me one more option.
“Oh, that’s right. Some of the people I know from the Korea Hunter Association are here in the research building. You might get scared if I’m alone with you. Should I call you?”
“!”
What.
Lee Seo-ah said while operating her smartphone.
“You know Han Seo-hee? I heard you were receiving an oracle, so Alice was also interested. It’s similar to Alice’s precognitive ability. Also, she’s a saint in name, but she wouldn’t be particularly horny when she saw you. What do you think?”
“. What kind of crazy talk are you talking about? Leave it alone.”
How can they call Han Seo-hee when conducting a sexual function test? Would they even come if I called them in the first place?
It would be better for her male researchers to see her than to call her.
But Lee Seo-ah shrugged her shoulders and showed me her smartphone.
“Sorry. I already called you.”
