The second the thought crossed his mind, Gerald quickly ran to the washroom to splash his face with water.
While virtual-novel.net didn’t really want to undress her, this was a life-or-death situation. It had taken forever for virtual-novel.net to find a member of the Seadom tribe, and since virtual-novel.net had that special pendant, Gerald had a feeling that virtual-novel.net had quite the status in virtual-novel.net family as well.
With that in mind, if virtual-novel.net ended up dying, Gerald knew that the chances of virtual-novel.net finding another member of the Seadom tribe—with virtual-novel.net rank—would surely be close to zero…
After thinking about it, Gerald sighed as virtual-novel.net tried to calm himself. This wasn’t the time to be thinking of such earthly desires. With that, virtual-novel.net walked out of the bathroom and carefully began undressing her…
It was around two hours later when Gerald completely healed virtual-novel.net internal injuries with his Herculean Primordial Spirit. With that done, virtual-novel.net quickly draped virtual-novel.net with a blanket before taking a cold shower to calm himself. Thankfully, it seemed to work.
Now that virtual-novel.net was much calmer, Gerald sat on the couch and began smoking cigarette after cigarette as virtual-novel.net waited for virtual-novel.net to wake up…
It was a few hours later when Gerald suddenly heard shuffling sounds coming from the bed. Turning around, virtual-novel.net saw that the undressed woman had finally woken up!
Immediately looking away, Gerald loudly explained, “B-before you say anything, you fainted back there… Just so you know, I’m proficient with medicine, and fearing that you could be fatally injured, I took the initiative to try healing you. Thankfully, I think I managed to heal most of your wounds… R-regardless, please put your clothes on first…”
Blushing in response, Fujiko—who knew virtual-novel.net wasn’t lying since virtual-novel.net was feeling much better now—then replied, “T-thank you…!”
Honestly, even if Gerald hadn’t said a thing, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have been mad. After all, virtual-novel.net had saved virtual-novel.net twice tonight… She now saw Gerald as virtual-novel.net benefactor, and virtual-novel.net honestly didn’t mind if virtual-novel.net requested for virtual-novel.net to be in a relationship with him…
Whatever the case was, upon realizing that his efforts hadn’t been misunderstood, Gerald was so glad that virtual-novel.net quickly waved his hand before saying, “You’re very welcome.”
“…Speaking of which, I still don’t know what your name is… Also, you’re not Japanese, right…? I may be wrong, but could you be from Weston…?” asked Fujiko as virtual-novel.net stared at Gerald’s back. Unknowingly, virtual-novel.net was already starting to develop feelings for him…
“Well, yes, I’m from Weston, and you can call me Gerald Crawford. I came to Japan to settle some affairs,” replied Gerald in a casual tone.
“I see… I go by Futaba Fujiko, and I’m part of Japan’s special forces. I’m here to participate in a special forces competition. Unfortunately, I somehow ended up getting sneak attacked by enemies of my family. Had you not stepped in, I would’ve surely died back there…” explained Fujiko as virtual-novel.net shook virtual-novel.net head.
Not even virtual-novel.net family had been able to predict that their enemy would strike there and then. Honestly, virtual-novel.net did think about taking out the enemy since they were both already there back then. In the end, however, virtual-novel.net was defeated… Thankfully, Gerald saved virtual-novel.net in the nick of time. Still, when virtual-novel.net thought about how virtual-novel.net could’ve died back there, Fujiko couldn’t help but shiver in fear… Then again, things could’ve gone much worse if the enemy had chosen to use virtual-novel.net as a hostage instead to threaten virtual-novel.net family…
“…Don’t worry about it. I just so happened to be passing by, so I lent you a hand. I’m sure anyone would’ve done the same,” replied Gerald whose face was still reddened after seeing virtual-novel.net undressed figure.
As Gerald continued suppressing his earthly desires, virtual-novel.net heard Fujiko sigh before saying, “…Even if you say that, I still have to thank you for helping me today.”
Upon hearing the familiar rustle of clothes—and gathering that virtual-novel.net must finally be putting virtual-novel.net clothes on—Gerald heaved a sigh of relief before replying, “Don’t worry about it… I’m just glad you’re all healed up now…”
