Chapter 12: Risa Momioka
Looking at Ryōko Mikado's expression that still hadn't quite recovered, Franklin helplessly supported his forehead.
"You are my sister, a renowned doctor in the galaxy. You know more than I do. You're asking me what I need, but how would I know what I need right now?
If you really want me to say, for example, something like strength potions, speed potions, some high-tech miracle drugs—give me a bit of everything I can think of."
Ryōko Mikado directly rejected it, "Impossible. Those would all be forcing growth unnaturally, harmful without any benefits. I can prepare more healing potions for you, though."
"You see, I said it, and you say no. So, you arrange it yourself. Try to get it set up for me within three days.
Those aliens who can cross galaxies are probably going to arrive on Blue Star in just these few days."
As the class bell rang, Franklin quickly returned to the classroom after saying goodbye, leaving the stunned Ryōko Mikado sitting somewhat dazed in the school infirmary.
"Is this the purpose you all had for staying on Blue Star back then? Is this the reason why you were so strong yet insisted on giving birth to offspring? What exactly is your goal?"
After returning to the classroom, Lala's expression was a bit strange, and her smile had disappeared. Franklin was somewhat puzzled.
He originally wanted to ask directly, but it didn't seem like a big deal, and the teacher had already entered the classroom and was energetically imparting knowledge. It seemed a bit impolite to interrupt and leave directly.
Immediately, Franklin wrote on a note: "What's wrong? Did those girls say something strange to you?"
After casually passing it to Lala, he saw her read it, then lower her head to write something. After a long while, a note suddenly fell onto Franklin's desk.
"Lin, I'm your girlfriend now. Does that mean we have to go on dates together, sleep together, and I have to prepare love bento boxes for you..."
Dozens of questions left Franklin somewhat stunned, making him unsure what to answer for a moment. However, one thing Franklin had already confirmed:
In the future, he needed to let Lala have less contact with these girls in the class. If it went on for too long, Lala would definitely be influenced. Just as he was thinking about how to reply to Lala, another note fell onto Franklin's desk.
"Lin-Kun, is Lala really your fiancée? Did you sleep together last night? Seeing how she doesn't understand anything, you're not deceiving Lala, are you!" —Yui Kotegawa
The disciplinary committee member leading the way in breaking rules, passing notes to him during class?
Looking at the boy who threw the note, and on his other side, Yui Kotegawa seriously listening to the lesson, Franklin really couldn't believe the note came from her.
Looking back at the note's content, Franklin was somewhat speechless. Although it wasn't nice to hear, at least the starting point was good. Just as he was about to reply, Franklin noticed the address on the note was wrong.
He wasn't familiar with Yui Kotegawa, and given Yui Kotegawa's personality, she would definitely address him as classmate Lin. Thinking of this, Franklin originally wanted to throw the note away directly and ignore it.
But after a slight hesitation, Franklin still wanted to investigate who the owner of the note was, after all, he was quite curious about the purpose of such a statement.
However, before that, he should reply to Lala first. Feeling Lala's curious gaze, Franklin immediately started writing on the note.
"Those things are all minor details. With the relationship between me and you, Lala, those things are optional. Of course, things like dates, as we spend more time together in the future, we will naturally do them.
As for bento boxes and such, just leave it to Mikan. Her cooking has always been very good. As for what those girls said, Lala, you don't need to take it to heart. After all, different living environments lead to different thoughts.
Lala, you like doing research, so focus on your own fun. Whether you come to school or not doesn't matter, after all, this knowledge isn't of much use to us.
The reason I'm still continuing school is due to special reasons, and it's not the time to tell you now. I'll tell you when the opportunity arises in the future."
Seeing Lala's expression after receiving the note—first troubled, then returning to her innocent smile—Franklin felt a sigh of relief.
Looking at the blank note in his hand, Franklin handed it to the boy who had just passed the note and said: "Pass it back the original way."
As the blank note was passed out, Franklin saw the note go around in a circle and finally end up in Risa Momioka's hands.
Seeing it was her, Franklin was somewhat speechless. It seemed that in the class, only she would do something like this, and only she would suspect that Lala might be deceived.
When Risa Momioka saw the note being passed into her hands, and it was blank, she knew she had been exposed. Meeting Franklin's gaze, Franklin grinned, and Risa Momioka knew she was done for.
Having been junior high classmates with Franklin for three years, she had been teased by Franklin for two years. At first, she saw that Franklin looked pretty good,
but in the class, he was like a little transparent figure, completely unnoticeable. This was completely the epitome of an introverted pretty boy, which led her to misjudge Franklin's personality.
Due to her own personality, Risa Momioka initially approached Franklin under the guise of making friends, intending to train a little brother to boss around.
But the result was that Franklin was silent on the surface, but his actions were completely opposite to what Risa Momioka understood.
At this moment, memories from junior high also surfaced in Franklin's mind.
Because of his reincarnation, Franklin held an unchangeable prejudice against the people of Neon Province. In elementary school, with a cold face, other students would be scared away.
Until later, the appearance of a certain girl caught Franklin's attention. He noticed her also because at that time, his parents had mysteriously disappeared. To improve his strength, Franklin followed Ryōko Mikado and learned a lot of medical knowledge.
Ryōko Mikado's medicine was similar to traditional Chinese medicine, mostly extracting various trace elements from plants to make special potions.
Just starting in this field, Franklin, as an adolescent boy, was more interested in various poisons, aphrodisiacs, and things like speed potions and strength potions from games—these illusory potions.
In addition to making various experimental potions, although there were experiments on lab rats, the effects were minimal, which made Franklin think of using humans for experiments.
Because he had extremely powerful healing potions, Franklin wasn't worried about causing fatalities.
And just at that time, Risa Momioka, under the name of making friends, entered his sight as the girl who was bullying him.
A Neon person who also liked bullying—this made Franklin's last bit of burden disappear. Spending some money to raise a human lab rat was indeed a good deal.
"Go buy me a fried noodle bread."
"Um, okay."
After Franklin bought back the bread, he would add trace amounts of potion into it, increasing the dosage a little each time, until he tested various data.
Among them, the one experimented on the most, and where the healing potion's effects weren't very noticeable, was the aphrodisiac.
"Why do I feel a bit hot? Lin-kun, do you feel it?"
Looking at the girl's slightly flushed cheeks, Franklin nodded, "Maybe the temperature rose. After all, it's noon now."
"Um, possible. Let's go, back to the classroom first. Class is about to start soon."
Walking behind, Franklin took the opportunity to take out a small notebook and record: 5 mg, face slightly flushed, heartbeat towards a relatively familiar opposite sex.
As the bread went down, Risa Momioka unconsciously rubbed her legs together, her eyes somewhat dazed, and she kept unconsciously glancing at Franklin beside her. Moments later, she directly hugged one of Franklin's arms.
"Lin-kun, I feel like I've fallen for you. Be my boyfriend, okay?"
"No, I have no feelings for you. After all, every time you boss me around, you never give me money. I'm your big creditor. Pay back the money before talking about liking me."
"So boring, you straight guy. What's wrong with spending a little money to get a girlfriend?"
Franklin was somewhat helpless. If it were like that, you wouldn't have to suffer this. After handing her a drink infused with a trace amount of healing potion and supervising her to drink it,
Franklin recorded again in the small notebook: 1 gram can be self-controlled, but has already achieved aphrodisiac effect.
"Franklin, you beast. Are you sure that if I eat this bread, you'll give me ten thousand yen, and you'll guarantee I won't suffer any harm!"
"Don't worry, I keep my word. After all, I'm a good person. You're the bad girl who bullies me."
Risa Momioka ate the bread with an angry expression, but in moments, her whole person changed: face slightly flushed, expression dazed.
"Lin, I like you."
Being hugged and nibbled by Risa Momioka, Franklin was somewhat speechless. Not taking advantage of this tofu would be a waste. Feeling the girl's increasing madness, even starting to unbutton her clothes,
Franklin hurriedly fed her the drink with the healing potion mouth-to-mouth.
2 grams: can't hold back, offers everything to an opposite sex she has some feelings for.
"Lin-kun, I don't want money. Be my boyfriend, okay? As long as you're willing to be my boyfriend, I can do anything for you."
"You eat this bread first and then talk."
Risa Momioka didn't hesitate at all; she finished the entire bread in a few bites. The onset was also very fast.
In just two minutes, Risa Momioka's eyes turned red, completely losing rationality. She began frantically tearing at her own clothes.
Seeing this scene, Franklin hurriedly stopped her. Seeming to sense the approach of the opposite sex, Risa Momioka directly pounced on Franklin, frantically tearing at Franklin's clothes.
Seeing Risa Momioka completely out of control, Franklin hurriedly force-fed her the drink with the antidote mouth-to-mouth.
Then Franklin recorded again in the small notebook: 3 grams thoroughly turns into a beast, only for venting the desire in the heart.
