"For every fatal accident, there are at least 3 hidden dangers as a 'prelude', just like the vast part of an iceberg hidden beneath the sea surface."

"If you don't treat a minor problem, it will eventually turn into a major accident. You're lucky this time because I saved you. If you encounter it again, just two minutes later, you'll probably become ZX Unit 2."

Hua, who had nothing to say, lowered her head, looking like she was humbly accepting Ash's words.

I know, I know these things, but sometimes for various reasons I can't follow the most correct answer, or maybe this world leaves me with no choice, but...

"Thank you, Dr. Ash. I don't know what to say."

She didn't know what to say. Thousands of words came to her lips, but only the word "thank you" came out. Nonoka slowly helped herself down from the operating table to the ground, and endured the pain in her waist that was beginning to return to consciousness as she bowed deeply to Ash.

"this...."

Nonoka just took the money out of her coat when Ash blocked her way back.

"No need. I've already explained the reason, and I'm not short of money. I opened the clinic just to cure diseases and save lives while preventing certain things from happening a second time." Ash waved his hand and let Hua sit back down.

"Wait a minute. Once the comprehensive examination report comes out, I'll prescribe some medicine for you and check if you have any other health problems. Don't worry, everything is free."

What a nice guy, Mr. Ash!

Although Dr. Ash's temper and tone were a bit strange, Nonoka was still sincerely grateful for being treated like this. At this moment, she felt warm in her heart. After all, such a kind person took the initiative to save her and gave her a comprehensive treatment for free...

examine!!

Nonoka suddenly looked up and realized something serious.

"Dr. Ash! You just said."

"Oh, it's coming out." Ash looked at the progress bar on the operating table and reached out to where the report popped up.

"------"

Before that, a hand took the report faster than Ashu's, and looking at the report that was extremely detailed, the woman's face became increasingly gloomy.

The healing of third-degree burns is characterized by traces, penetrating wounds, traces of large-area lacerations, slight dislocation of limbs and internal organs caused by the healing of contusions and comminuted fractures, variant proliferation of redundant tissues, and complete necrosis of some body structures.

There was only silence. Nonoka seemed to have received the final judgment of fate. The joy of survival was replaced by fear and worry that the secret might be exposed.

An unknown mixture of harmful substances accumulated in the body, and the white blood cell count per microliter was about 119278, which was about ten times that of an ordinary person... Well, after all, it was impossible for a normal person to be alive and talking in such a situation. This was basically throwing the fact that "Nonoka was an abnormal girl" in other people's faces.

"Ms. Nonoka?" Ash's voice brought Nonoka's wandering consciousness back to her senses.

"W-What's wrong?"

"Oh, no need to be surprised." Thinking she was asking why he knew her name, Ash nodded at her wallet on the table. "I checked your ID, it's normal."

"So, Ms. Nonoka..."

"Ah, a flying saucer!"

Originally with the mentality of trying everything possible, Hua pointed at the window behind her and shouted, but she didn't expect that Ash actually turned around and looked over there immediately.

I'm sorry, Mr. Ash, although I really don't want to do this!

The shining energy representing the future quietly tampers with the future on the report card.

As Ash looked out the window, his eyes met with a decadent man holding a book.

"......"

"What the hell are you looking at?" Ash angrily scolded the other person who didn't come.

"baffling....."

After "scaring away" the peeping tom who was stirring up trouble with a fierce look, Ash turned around and lectured the gasping Nonoka.

"Ms. Nonoka, I understand that you want to liven up the atmosphere, but don't do this again next time."

He had just come from the world of Kyuranger and hadn't completely adjusted his mindset yet. When Nonoka mentioned the flying saucer, he thought it was the Space Shogunate chasing him. He was so scared that he almost called out V-REX and transformed into a robot form to fight to the death.

"let me see........"

"have a look...."

"look.."

Ash frowned, not because the problem was too big, but on the contrary, because there was no big problem, and the lack of a big problem was the biggest problem.

But this report was indeed normal. Could it be that Dr. Death had gotten drunk on beer and damaged the inspection component during the surgery? Thinking about it carefully, it was quite possible.

"Ms. Nonoka."

"..."

"Ms. Nonoka?" Ash asked again without getting a response. When he turned his head, he saw Nonoka curled up on the operating table.

"F▇▇K!" Feeling something was wrong, he didn't have time to worry about the inspection. He threw the paper away and took two steps forward. He put a finger in front of Nonoka's nose and breathed a sigh of relief after feeling the latter's steady and stable breathing.

I fell asleep, damn, it was a false alarm.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead due to the operation. Shocker's high-tech operating table was good in every way except that it did not have a mechanical arm to help wipe the sweat. However, considering that the previous user of the operating table, Dr. Death, had removed all his sweat glands and used coolant instead, it was normal not to have this useless function.

The operating room quickly returned to its original state. The devices that looked like they would sound an alarm returned to their original harmless appearance. In the meantime, a pillow was handed to Nonoka where she was sleeping.

"V-rex." He whispered the voice command, and the Shocker pattern on the tablet interface in his hand turned into the Time Ranger logo.

Thanks to Jiro's "Conscience Circuit" design, and Jian Liuxing and Qiang Parsons' friendly provision of their own intelligence model blueprints as reference samples, Ash replaced V-REX's original intelligent chip with the "Super AI" chip circuit he designed himself.

At this moment, even if all the technological products on the earth were tied together, they would not be able to match the intelligence of V-rex.

"Did you find anything?" Before the operation, Ash took Nonoka's condition into consideration and asked V-rex to check all the traffic cameras in the city in the past few hours before Nonoka came.

Leaving aside the hidden wounds, the seemingly fresh ruptured internal organs were no minor injuries. For a patient with such injuries to make it to the clinic alone was a tremendous test of both body and willpower. If Nonoka's internal organs were ruptured in a traffic accident, and the driver's hit-and-run had forced her to come here alone, then Ash wouldn't mind doing a little "clean-up work" for his savior.

【Bonus】Case File 9: Take medicine on time

"I'm sorry, but before Ms. Nonoka arrived, the system searched the database for the estimated time of internal organ rupture. During this period, there were no car accidents in the conservation city, nor any accidents that could cause such injuries."

"No?" The search results of vrex made Ash feel a little incredible.

"Replay the whole thing for me, V-rex."

"The most recent potentially relevant video is from an hour ago."

The standby interface switched to the surveillance video of the conservation city. In the video, Nonoka was walking slowly step by step, covering the ruptured part of her internal organs with her left hand.

She walked very slowly, her body swaying. Many times, people passing by asked her if she needed help, but she always forced a smile and refused their kindness.

"Idiot." Ash shook his head and continued playing.

After the video of one area ends, it immediately jumps to the next area. From the time Nonoka walks out of the house to the time she arrives at the clinic, it takes a total of one hour.

Nonoka was sleeping soundly on the operating table with a sweet smile on her face and saliva dripping from the corners of her raised mouth, as if she was having the most beautiful dream.

Maybe she was dreaming of world peace, or that she had found her other half, or that her dream had come true. However, Ash didn't have time to look at her. He just stared at the surveillance video without blinking.

"In addition, based on the injuries, it is estimated that Ms. Nonoka's internal organs ruptured between 12:00 and 8:00 this morning."

"In short, she must have suffered a ruptured internal organ, but she managed to hold on for a while before seeking medical treatment."

"If that's the case, the timing doesn't match."

Seeing this injury, Ash naturally associated her with the true identity of the Pretty Cure. It could be said that it was the first thing that came to his mind.

Although Ash is not as interested in the true identities of the heroes behind their masks as when they are wearing masks, he also feels that as his opponent for the next period of time, he should "take care" of them.

But now Ash came to the conclusion: [Nonoka can't be Cure Yell]

"Although they give the impression of being somewhat similar, their appearance, voice, and body shape are completely different, and most importantly..."

time.

That’s right, the timing doesn’t match.

Although he hadn't checked it like he did now, Ash had sensed during his brief exchange with the Cure Yell that the opponent had sustained considerable injuries. He estimated that if he hadn't sought medical treatment immediately after the fight, he would have been lying on the bed by now and would not have survived until now.

Moreover, yesterday's battle took place during the day, so even if he was injured, it would not match Nonoka's condition.

Ash was thinking, at this time he did not know the existence and miraculous effects of tomorrow's energy, which was unique to this world.

"Master Ash?"

"I'm listening." Ash muttered to himself and closed his eyes to ease the dry pain brought by the past hour. The shock brought to him by the past hour gave him a headache.

He opened his uncomfortable eyes, took out some eye drops and put them in. Then he stood up from the sofa and stretched his stiff limbs.

Then he walked to the operating table, put his hands through the armpits and knees, and picked up Nonoka, who was still sleeping.

“So light…”

The female body, which exuded a faint smell of disinfectant, was very light, soft, and small.

This time, Ash carefully felt the things that he had overlooked in his previous race with the Grim Reaper.

Nonohana in his arms was as light as a piece of white paper and was very short. She didn't look like an adult woman at all. No matter how you looked at her, she was fragile.

It is this body that has managed to hold on until now despite the pain of ruptured internal organs.

Ash's experience so far told him that even heroes rarely possessed such a strong will and vitality.

"Go to sleep. You'll feel better if you get more sleep...Alas, idiot."

He gently placed Nonoka on the sofa, as if treating it as a sacred object. After loading the mass conversion device, the Vrex body, which had changed into the size of a DX toy, came over with a blanket in its mouth and asked Ash to cover Nonoka with it.

"Chinese medicine or Western medicine?"

"This machine recommends all of them."

Nonoka had a dream.

In the dream, she was wearing a white wedding dress as a bride, walking down the hall with her husband's arm in arm.

Sitting in the front seats on the left were her parents wiping their tears and her sister, who looked very excited. Her friends, including Yu, Saeya, and Emi, were sitting in the second row, applauding and congratulating her.

A young priest stood before them, holding a Bible.

It was time for them to say their oath.

"Sir, while you live in this world, you should always care for your wife with tenderness and fulfill your duties as a husband throughout your life. Are you willing to marry this lady?"

"I am willing."

The man's voice sounded solemn and familiar.

"Madam, are you convinced that this marriage is arranged by heaven and are you willing to acknowledge this man as your husband?"

“I, I do!!”

The bell rang and everyone cheered. Countless petals appeared from nowhere, flew into the sky and then slowly fell down.

Shy Nonoka and the groom turned around to face each other. Hana wanted to see what kind of handsome man she was marrying.

Then she came face to face with the red cover of the flame of time, and saw her own confused face reflected in the flame-like eyepiece.

Nonoka's expression quickly changed from shame and happiness to astonishment and panic. She wanted to break free, but without transforming, the other person's hand held her hand tightly like a vise.

Wait, wait, I don’t want to do it anymore!

"Now, the groom may now kiss your bride."

“Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm—”

The man's hands gently held the woman's small head which was shaking from side to side. As Nonoka's face became increasingly red, the silver lips of the Flame of Time with a metallic glow got closer and closer to the woman's soft thin lips.

Under the gorgeous rain of flowers, their lips overlapped.

“Wow wow wow wow!!”

This is my first kiss, please don't——

Nonoka opened her eyes with her mouth wide open. The wedding scene in her dream turned back into a clinic, and the operating table turned into a soft sofa and a blanket on her body.

“Almost…”

The shyness and irritation brought by the wedding scene with the flame of time in her dream added color to her red face after she fell asleep.

"Squeak." The tightly closed door of the operating room opened.

"woke up?"

"I'm sorry, Dr. Ash. I'm really sleepy—"

She stood up, bowed, and apologized, all in one go. Then Nonoka looked up and saw Ash and the bowl in his hand?
