Want to be human, but cube-like

This was originally intended by Alex to remove the negative status effects she might have been given if she accidentally touched the golden liquid during a battle with a witch and was subsequently afflicted with a bunch of negative status effects.

Now it has found other uses as well.

Speaking of which, Xiangzi absolutely refused to drink this whole bucket of milk today, which, like the braised pork meatballs, could all be used by her father.

"Gulu gulu..."

Aiming at Toyokawa Kiyotaka's open mouth, Alex poured the milk directly into it.

It filled him up in no time.

A moment later, Alex looked at Toyokawa Kiyoshi, who was lying unconscious on the ground, with milk constantly overflowing from the corner of his mouth and his swollen belly, and was somewhat at a loss.

The patient stopped bleeding from suffocation, so the milk seems to have been effective.

The three buffs on my body have also disappeared. I don't think they will find anything wrong with my body when I am sent to the hospital later because of the health recovery buff.

But his belly has gotten so big, is it really okay? And he's spitting up milk too.

After looking around to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything, Alex dialed the ambulance number.

"In any case, let's get him to the hospital first."

Muttering to herself, Alex then sent a message to Xiangzi.

"Xiangzi shouldn't be angry because I made milk for her father, right?"

She felt a little guilty.

…………

P.S. One chapter concludes the battle and wraps things up; any longer and it would be too drawn out, and there's not much more to write about in the fighting.

Volume 1: Chapter 66 Xiangzi's thighs felt very comfortable

The medical staff had strange expressions on their faces as they lifted Kiyotaka Toyokawa into the ambulance.

After a thorough examination in the ambulance, it was only clear that he was extremely weak, as if he had not eaten for several days and had fallen into a coma, but his vital signs were unusually stable.

His organs showed signs of dehydration, yet his stomach was full of milk.

Confusing.

It's the same hospital as last night.

When Alex, as a friend of the patient's family, accompanied him back to the hospital in the ambulance, Xiangzi happened to arrive there by taxi.

Contrary to her usual behavior, she didn't seem to care about the fare, even though it wasn't late and the tram was still running.

However, given Xiangzi's current condition of twisting his ankle and being unable to walk smoothly, it is indeed a bit of a stretch to ask him to take the tram alone.

After completing the formalities, I watched as Toyokawa Kiyoko was sent for examination, had his stomach pumped, and was given an IV drip of glucose and saline solution before finally being sent back to his ward.

"Thank you, Alex. Are you alright?"

Sitting on the chair beside the hospital bed, Xiangzi, who had been looking worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She stared at her comatose father for a while before turning her head to look at Alex.

In reality, Xiangzi knew that his words were not very meaningful.

She now understands enough about Alex's unique status as someone from another world.

Even when she was injured, Xiangzi probably had no idea about her extraordinary physical abilities and her ability to revive.

"Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine. I was well prepared this time, and the battle with that witch was a breeze."

Alex nodded to reassure Xiangzi. Just as she had said, Alex hadn't been touched by the witch even once during the battle.

It's a completely damage-free end to the battle.

"Click."

At that moment, the door to the ward was pushed open.

The doctor walked in with the medical records.

"Which of you is a relative of Mr. Toyokawa Kiyotaka?"

He glanced at the two of them and asked.

"I am his daughter."

Xiangzi swallowed nervously and looked at the medical record in the doctor's hand.

"The patient doesn't have any major problems, but his long-term alcohol abuse and irregular eating habits have led to some malnutrition. His liver and kidney function levels are high. Also, did he fast for a few days and then suddenly binge eat?"

After briefly explaining the situation, the doctor asked another question.

Upon hearing this, Xiangzi was stunned. She knew that Toyokawa Kiyoko had not eaten for the past few days because he had been captured and trapped in the witch's barrier, but she did not understand why the doctor would say that her father was overeating.

Where did he get the money to overeat?

"Um... he had a big meal before he passed out, and then drank... a lot of milk..."

Just as Xiangzi was wondering how to answer, Alex interrupted somewhat guiltily.

"Yes, that's quite a lot."

The doctor nodded and glanced at the gastroscopy report in his hand.

"The amount of milk far exceeded the stomach capacity of a normal person. Although it is unknown why his stomach did not rupture, the gastric mucosa was damaged. Moreover, due to the sudden binge eating after fasting, he was unable to eat anything for a period of time after his stomach was pumped. He can only temporarily maintain his vital signs with glucose and saline solution. Of course, he absolutely cannot drink alcohol for the next month or two."

After saying this, the doctor handed the report and medical records to Xiangzi and then left.

"Thank you so much."

After watching the doctor leave, Xiangzi looked down at the medical record in his hand and remained silent.

“Alex…”

Then, she looked up at Alex, who was tiptoeing and trying to sneak out of the ward.

"Ah, um... Xiangzi, I won't disturb you and your father any longer. He probably needs to rest. I'm going to go for a walk outside."

She didn't know what was so interesting about visiting the hospital at night, but she just wanted to go and explore it.

"Alex."

Xiangzi repeated Alex's name again, his tone very calm, so calm that it frightened Alex.

"Ugh...!"

Seeing that there seemed to be no way to deal with it, she immediately chose another method.

Suddenly, Alex squatted down in front of Xiangzi, placed her hands on Xiangzi's thighs, rested her head between her knees, and looked up at her with a pitiful expression.

"I'm sorry! I was wrong! Please forgive me!"

Alex learned this three-part apology from her mother.

Sometimes, when Alex is surrounded by monsters or chased by powerful enemies and has nowhere to run, she will hear her mother begging for mercy in her ear.

However, it didn't really have much effect. Afterwards, it was usually accompanied by a mournful cry, and the person would die tragically under the monster's attack.

In most cases, after being resurrected, she is manipulated by her mother and angrily returns to seek revenge.

Therefore, to Alex, her mother's pleas for mercy at that time were just a joke.

I don't know if it will work for Xiangzi, but I'll give it a try anyway.

As expected, Xiangzi, who had been staring at her expressionlessly, was stunned by Alex's commotion.

It seems that the set of actions and expressions she suddenly came up with was quite effective.

"Sigh... So now you understand why I said we couldn't drink such a big tub of milk?"

After a moment, Xiangzi, who had come to his senses, sighed helplessly and said.

She didn't even need to ask Alex to guess what was going on with her father.

most

Alex fed her father some food and then poured a whole bucket of milk into him in order to restore his health.

"Gu..."

Without saying a word, Alex simply puffed out her cheeks and nodded, looking somewhat aggrieved.

"Alright, it's not your fault anymore. I should thank you. Get up now."

After staring into Alex's crimson eyes, which reflected the light, for a moment, Xiangzi looked away and said with pursed lips.

Today, I wore a knee-length skirt when I went out. After sitting down, my knees and half of my thighs were exposed to the air, and they happened to come into contact with Alex's hands and chin. Xiangzi felt a little embarrassed as her snow-white skin was touched by her.

Besides, she wasn't angry at all. After all, her father hadn't been seriously injured, and the other party had rescued him. Xiangzi just wanted to take this opportunity to make her understand more deeply the differences in common sense between the two worlds.

"Can I squat a little longer?"

But I didn't expect Alex to ask that question so suddenly.

"why?"

Xiangzi looked back in confusion.

"Because it was very comfortable to rest Xiangzi's lap on."

Alex, resting her chin on Xiangzi's knees, spoke frankly about her feelings.

"Soft and smooth."

As she spoke, her small hands, which were resting on Xiangzi's thighs, unconsciously twitched.

"And it smells very good."

As soon as she finished speaking, you could see Alex's small nostrils still twitching slightly.

Xiangzi's face immediately turned red, and he subconsciously slapped Alex on the head with the medical record in his hand.

"Get up!"

Considering that her father was still asleep on the hospital bed next to her, Xiangzi kept her voice down, even as she scolded him in embarrassment and anger.

…………

PS Sometimes, I unintentionally imbue Alex's behavior with a touch of the cutesy, adorable, and slightly whiny qualities often found in fan-made content.

That's the downside of watching too much fan-made content.

But does this mean a child's personality follows their mother's?

Volume 1: Chapter 67 Going Out Alone

"Dingling bell~"

Watching the customer leave, Alex pressed the confirmation button for the last order at the counter.

"call……"

She turned her head and glanced at the wall clock.

Half past one in the afternoon.

Facing the lunch rush alone was indeed quite busy. Alex untied her apron and casually tossed it onto the counter.

After thinking for a moment, she walked to the store and flipped the price tag over.

Even if someone comes to visit in the afternoon, it's only two or three people, so we decided to temporarily suspend business.

Last night, after spending some time at the hospital with Xiangzi to take care of her father, the two returned to the hamburger shop.

We can't let Xiangzi stay there overnight just to take care of her father, especially since Xiangzi herself is injured.

After more than a day, Xiangzi's sprained area was able to come into contact with hot water, but he still couldn't walk. The doctor's conservative advice was that he couldn't get out of bed for one to two weeks, so even when Xiangzi returned home, he could only lie down or sit.

In that case, it will take her even longer to recover from her sprain than her father did.

After a good night's sleep last night, Alex went downstairs alone to the burger shop to start business today.

Xiangzi did apologize to her, feeling guilty.

But Alex didn't feel there was anything to apologize for. The other party had guided her to learn so much about this world, and after successfully retiring, let her explore other worlds on her own. Wasn't that normal?

She even said she wouldn't take her salary for the next few days, when in fact she had to borrow money from Alex to pay for her father's hospital bills.

Alex, who couldn't quite understand why Xiangzi was acting so awkwardly, stopped thinking about it and closed the hamburger shop door before returning to the Sky Island.
