Chapter 65

Extra Case File 65 Two Injured Individuals,

Two Broken Hearts

Spraying the coagulant with the symbol of some organization onto his chest,伴随着剧痛,使得亚修嘴角抽搐, the man finally stopped the trail of blood he had been leaking一路走一路淌血.

He can no longer hear Wild Flower’s voice behind him, nor the alarming sound of the clock that used to make him uneasy. Even the screams of the ambulance staff and the crowd were far behind him.

He has finally obtained the silence he wanted.

“Let’s go,” patting the VREX under him, his voice, not as slight as his own. “Let me rest a little. There was too much today.”

The system did not respond this time, probably busy with other matters; only the low growl from the seated VREX answered him.

‘Do you not need to rescue Wild Flower-san?’ The gentle voice within VREX seems to be asking.

“No, she… now….”

Countless ‘she’s were spoken, but he ultimately did not speak of her condition.

Finally, he closed his mouth, lying back on the special metal that sent chills down to his neck from his feet toes, only the sun above, serving as a god’s equal warmth on everyone, including him.

Right now, I just want to sleep.

The accident that happened that day was at a movie premiere venue; a place where brave journalists often lack fear for news.

A significantly stronger Final Monster than ever, a Precure who is usually gentle and now extremely mad, a Time Fire with an ultimate pervert statement, and a resolution to a duel between one pink and one red fighter which remained unknown to the public.

Each of these incidents, when taken separately, would cause the internet to boil for months. However, all these events are intertwined in one explosive event, making the Asuka Pharmaceutical family dispute seem like minor gossip.

There are those who worry or doubt Precure, others attack or look up to Time Fire, while a large group of “cureyellxtimefire” fans started appearing on certain NSFW sites, spawning countless fanfictions.

However, all of these are inconsequential matters to Ash.

Flipping the sign on the door after performing some self-surgery, wrapped in thick bandages, he lay down on his office chair, falling asleep instantly.

When Ash woke up again, it was already evening the next day.

The man opened his eyes; clarity and chaos split evenly within them. Through the window, the sunset illuminated a muscular body like those of American superheroes carved by knife and axe, covered in red-stained white bandages, emanating an inexplicable sense of decadence under his mature and domineering presence.

Breaking two energy blocks and tossing them into his mouth, Ash moved his joints creakingly. His body, never neglecting exercise, was recovering well. This was good news.

Regarding the other matter, V-Rex clamped his transforming phone in his mouth and showed Ash the 99+ red record. These unconnected calls could only have come from one source: Wild Flower’s sister, Wild Flower Kotori.

This was something Ash himself needed to resolve.

Ash gestured for V-Rex to help him answer the call as his hand was still in plaster and he didn’t want to move much.

“Hello—Ash! You scoundrel, where are you right now?!”

The shout from the college student, suppressing her rage, exploded like fireworks in the quiet clinic.

After clearing his ears, Ash understood this too. If she saw her sister’s state… actually, keeping it in check could be attributed to the high moral standards of society resembling that of a light city.

“I am hospitalized… it’s inconvenient now, what’s happening over there?”

“Mom and Dad almost fainted seeing her hurt being brought in by the doctors! What exactly happened between you two?!”

“Why… why is it that only my sister is here all alone?”

Residual anger dissipated, Kotori’s once silver bell-like voice took on a heavy tone of sorrow.

“Watch the news.” Without answering her other question, Ash’s voice was feeble. Silence persisted on the other line for five minutes, then more soothing voices came through.

“Okay… sorry, Mr. Ash… my sister…”

“She… isn’t doing well?”

Ash perked up his ears.

“She locked herself in…”

“Huh?”

“In her room. Not even the door, let alone the windows—Me, Mom, and Dad have called out to her many times, yet she doesn’t open the door.”

“She hasn’t eaten anything nearly all day, so… please… please…”

“I understand… to persuade her, is that it?”

Without waiting for a response, Ash waved for V-Rex to hang up, then asked V-Rex to retrieve some peculiar metallic materials from a storeroom within the clinic, constructing an electric wheelchair beneath him after some fiddling.

Instead of riding a motorcycle or sports car, transforming into OTTO to pay a visit to a woman… if his former friends knew, they’d surely burst into laughter.

Approximately fifteen minutes later, struggling past the way, Ash rang the doorbell of the Wild Flower household, opening the door was the sister of Wild Flower – the woman from the telephone who almost confronted him, Wild Flower Kotori.

“Let me in, let me see her.”

Wild Flower’s family, remaining members, showed confusion towards Ash’s arrival, primarily due to the impact of various bandages and reddish wrapping covering much of his body, which earned him some special treatment.

“Let me help —”

“No need.”

Wild Flower Kotori attempted to lift the wheelchair for him, but Ash shouted her down; his parents stood there, speechless, watching him limp upstairs alone.

Turning back briefly, he saw the three of them looking hopeful around the corner until Ash made a reassuring gesture before leaving.

Honestly, Ash envied them.

Coming to his senses, now, this second story contained only two people.

“Flower, it’s me, Ash.”

“—”

“I know you wish for privacy, so it’s only us here.”

Ash knocked, or rather, banged loudly on the door to Wild Flower’s bedroom.

“—”

As expected, no response came.

“What, don’t want to chat with your dear doctor?”

“—”

“Do not… want —”

“—”
