Digitize: Rebirth of the Silver Death God

Chapter 122: Teasing Elly, A Peculiar Change

The air remained chilly due to the stormy weather, yet even despite its influence in the entire city, there was one place that seemed to be building up a fiery air. A warm mood lingered around a duo standing a distance from the Fortune Medical Center, as a strange mood began to rise.

Nero stared at Elly with flame in his eyes, being provoked by a woman in such a manner, it's only natural that a man, no... a youth, would find it hard to contain his true nature.

'You think it's funny, huh? That you can waltz on over here, and put me in a hold as you like, did you know that such actions had its prize?" Nero asked with a cheeky smile on his face as he stared down at Elly.

When she heard his words and saw Nero's intense stare, Elly felt a feeling she hadn't quite understood herself. Her face turned crimson red as she lowered her head, not daring to look at his face as she spoke.

"I... I... meant no such thing, You... You're exaggerating."

Elly said stutteringly.

"Really, then what about now?" Nero asked with a cheeky smile as one of his arms wrapped around her slender waist, pulling her closer to his being.

When Elly felt his arm around her, her small body trembled as if it was undergoing a quake; she started to speak as if confused.

"My, I... I..."

Nero seeing this felt it to be even more adorable; he lowered his head and placed his mouth right up to her ears, lightly blowing a warm wind that caused her ear to redden as he spoke in a deeper tone that his usual teenage voice.

"Don't know how to speak? It's fine, I'll 'teach' you today."

The instant Elly heard those words. Her mind went blank as her face turned even redder. It seemed that despite having an innocent and adorable outlook, she knew more things in this regard.

"You pervert!"

Elly said in a loud voice, somewhat regaining her strength as she pushed herself away from Nero with all the strength she could muster. Nero looked at this with a smile and let her go, causing her to fall back by a few meters.

When this happened, Elly looked at Nero begrudgingly, she felt a bit lost now that they weren't as close anymore, but she certainly didn't want Nero to know about such thoughts.

"You... humph! Y-you dare to take an extra advantage, I'm going to tell mother!" Elly said while pointing her finger towards Nero, her manner seeming like a bullied little girl.

Nero smirked and replied: "By all means, please do so."

Elly balled up her fists tightly as she stared at his smug look with her reddish face while thinking, 'This brute, he dares, how dare he act like this? Errr... I-I should have never given him that chance. Hmph! Just you wait, I'll get you back.'

After thinking such thoughts, Elly's eyes flashed as she hurried off through the rain in a different direction. Nero seeing her like this, shook his head; he decided to tease her one more time.

"See you later, Elly, oh, and be prepared for tomorrow's private lesson."

When Elly heard this, she trembled to flatter a bit as she only now remembered that she will be home taught by Nero after today. With her thoughts unknown, Elly picked up her pace and hurried from the area like a frightened rabbit, causing Nero to chuckle.

'How cute... maybe, maybe it is not so lonely after all.' Nero thought as he stared at the direction Elly left, he now felt a bit better, as he was stirred from his earlier state of mind after seeing his mother.

'Yes, I was sulking for no reason. I still have Avollo and Elly.' Nero concluded with a sharp look in his eyes; he then shifted his eyes towards a different direction while smiling as he spoke to his older self.

'And I have you too.'

Adult Nero, who had been idly watching with a leisure appearance, smirked as he heard Nero's words; he then spoke in reply, "You might be mistaken, I'm just a ghost."

'Hmph! As if you are!' Nero said back to his older self in a snappish manner as he no longer spoke to him.

'Still just a brat,' Adult Nero said, as he watched as Nero left, moving towards a bus stop to catch a ride home. The moment Nero left, Ryo seemed to walk out of nowhere, staring in his direction as he sighed while thinking.

'I suppose that I can end today's session; tonight will be a special one after all,' Ryo thought as he recalled that today is a dungeon raid, he knew just how dangerous monsters like these could get.

After wrapping up his thoughts, Ryo vaguely glanced at the upper floor, recalling the wounded girl he brought here.

'At least she too is fine,' Ryo thought as his eyes showed an unusual look as he shook his head before wasted no time in leaving, the scene here doused by the gloomy rain that continued even through the night.

When Nero had left the hospital, there was a subtle change in the Fortune Medical Center, a doctor was looking over a series of data on his clipboard that a nurse had just brought him.

"How could this be? This person's brain, it's undergoing a metamorphosis." The doctor said in alarm, looking at the strange data along with the images of a person's brain, he fixed his glasses and stared at the nurse before speaking once more.

"Nurse, hurry, and take me to this patient!"

"Yes, Doctor Dalton."

The nurse replied as she hurriedly brought Doctor Dalton towards the upper floors by elevator; it didn't take long for them to arrive on the Kara's and Hersa's floor.

The nurse then brought Doctor Dalton towards Kara's resting quarters while he was stuck in his own thoughts.

'With this finding, I... I'm certain that I can climb high in the society, so long as I can understand this brain's transformation, I am sure that I will be granted a Nobel Prize!'

Doctor Dalton's eyes burned with ambition, showing a look typically found on most people in this world. While some would actually be genuine, some would do anything to get what they want, be it a rise in social standing or another; people, or in this case, patients for them, are nothing more than obstacles or tools to accomplish specific agendas.

Doctor Dalton felt especially happy that he discovered this first, he stepped forward at an even faster pace behind the nurse, but he noticed an odd scene right at this.

A group of men wearing black suits stood outside of Kara's room door, each with a wire around their ears and the markings UEG on their shoulders.

'The government special forces!' Doctor Dalton thought in alarm, but his eyes soon narrowed, as he noticed that they were missing a certain symbol, he frowned while thinking.

'No, it's a private special force, but who do they respond to? Are they really trying to interfere with my studies?' Doctor Dalton though with complex eyes as he stared at the men before him, he gritted his teeth and decided to try his luck by walking over.

"Halt, no one is to approach here." One of the men said in a cold tone.

Doctor Dalton clenched his fist as he knew that his plans were in trouble. Not wanting to give up, he stared at the man and spoke with a raised voice, "Excuse me, but what do you think that you're doing? My name is Dalton Philnez, a renowned brain specialist in the field of medical science, that room has a very important patient, so I request that you"

"That's enough; no one can enter, not even the director of this sector. You can take your leave now, Sir Dalton," One of the men indifferently said as they flashed a golden badge with UEG on it. The instant Doctor Dalton saw it; his face turned pale as he thought in alarm, 'UEG High Command! To think such high up forces would come here and for that girl no doubt, darn!'

While this fact angered Dalton, he knew better than to oppose such a force. He shook his head before turning around and leaving, not daring to look back.

The man who sent Dalton away sneered as he no longer looked at him but stand at guard, soon though, his face turned respectful as he saw Grail walking from a different part of the hallway, moving towards them with steady steps as his arms where placed within the pockets of his coat.

"We salute the High Commander!"

The man said as he made a respectful military salute and the other guards, each showing an in-depth look of respect on their faces as they stared at him.

Grail looked at his and shook his head before speaking, "How is the girl?"

The hesitated before he spoke, "She seems a bit confused, sir, but other than that, her condition is as expected."

Grail nodded at those words as he spoke, "Good, then I'll go."

The man looked at this in shock, since when someone of his stature needed to tend to such affairs. Grail said nothing as he walked past everyone and opened the door to Kara's room while thinking, 'Let's see just what kind of miss could let my son grow so caring.'

Grail thought with an unusual smirk on his face as he recalled Ryo's strange movements at the hospital; he even checked over his video feed and saw scenes of him spying on Kara's room even after meeting up with him.

'A sneaky brat, indeed," Grail said as the sound of the creaking door resounded, following by the bright lights that shrouded his vision as he revealed its scene.
