[Deep within me is a love you cannot imagine and a rage you cannot believe. If I cannot satisfy one, I will indulge the other.]

The bleeding was so fierce that it didn't even stop. The wound did not heal as quickly as expected. This was exactly what Elaine was most afraid of seeing.
His worst fears had indeed come true.
Originally, Elaine the White Bear had a powerful self-healing ability. Even if such wounds did not heal instantly, they would have to block themselves within a minute to stop the bleeding.
However, he became a human, which also meant that he lost the strong body that he should have as an orc and a white bear, and his powerful self-healing ability was naturally gone.
So he knew that his current body was not suitable for fighting. It was not just that he had no strength, he was so weak that he did not even have the ability to heal himself. If this young man's body was allowed to enter the ring,
, if his opponent gives him a knife at will, even if it is just a larger cut on his arm, he will immediately fall to the ground because of the bleeding and lose hope of winning.
Human beings are really weak. At this time, he couldn't help but sigh.
Because the bleeding was not stopping, he was a little dizzy. He lay on the hospital bed in a daze and couldn't quite remember what happened next. But the doctor was beside him, and he knew that Constantine would help treat his wound. Waiting for him
When he recovered from the dizziness, he saw Constantine staring blankly at him beside the bed.
"What stupid things are you doing!" Seeing Elaine open her eyes, the young Knight of the Round Table began to scold: "We don't know what your current physique is like! What should you do if you continue to bleed because of such a wound!"
"The bleeding has stopped, right?" Elaine asked weakly.
"It stopped. The content of platelets in the blood is exactly the same as that of humans. Of course, the bleeding was stopped according to human standards and speed. Although I did help you stop the bleeding and bandage it." Constantine's expression changed from
The initial dislike has turned into concern now: "Lie well, don't think about too complicated things, and don't do stupid things."
"Okay." Elaine didn't originally think about hurting himself. Everything just happened was just a small experiment. But he didn't expect that a mere shard of glass could hurt him so badly, and the wound couldn't heal properly. This
It is a shocking and desperate fact. Now he is not only paralyzed in the hospital bed because of anemia, but also because of mental and physical exhaustion.
It's over. It's really over this time. Once you become a human, you can't change back. With this weak body, there is no hope for the ring competition. Even if his brain becomes slightly better than before, this is not the case.
His IQ can solve it easily. What should we do next?
"Is he still there?" Just when Elaine closed her eyes and thought wildly, someone's voice seemed to be heard outside.
"Depressed." The answer should be that Constantine Elaine was a little dizzy, and his hearing was not as sensitive as when he was an orc. The combination of human hearing and dizziness was enough to prevent him from identifying the two people speaking.
But he knew that Constantine was sitting next to him, so the last person to speak must be Constantine.
"Humph, are you depressed just because of this little thing? You are weaker than you thought." The other party responded to Constantine and commented just within Elaine's hearing. Elaine couldn't help but feel a little angry.
If he wasn't still dizzy right now, he might get up and curse.
But he was not stupid. It didn't take him long to realize the true identity of the speaker, and he asked tentatively: "...Your Majesty?"
"Hey, Elaine." King Arthur replied calmly.
"Oh, Your Majesty------"
"Lie down and don't move!" Just as Elaine was about to get up and salute King Arthur, Constantine immediately pushed the white-haired boy back and covered Elaine's face with a wet towel.
Ryan calmed down and covered Elaine's eyes.
"Yes, just lie down, no need to salute." King Arthur also said, "I just came here to observe the world's first orc who successfully turned into a human. I don't have much other meaning."
(Want to watch...)
"But this body is really interesting." The King of Knights seemed to be looking at Elaine's body up and down, and his words always felt a bit dangerous: "Is it because the human being [the prototype] was originally a teenager, or is it because this body reflects
Elaine’s real age? Maybe Elaine was originally a child, unable to be seen in the shape of an orc, and then converted to human age and became like this?”
"How do I know..." the white-haired boy complained in a low voice, using a volume that seemed not to be heard by the other party.
"I think it's the former." Constantine said, with the intention of saving Elaine.
"Speaking of this, it's even weirder." King Arthur speculated: "Merlin's research clearly said that to transform orcs into humans, they need to obtain a sufficient amount of undeteriorated human genes. This matter has nothing to do with Palin Lore, Palin
The [fire] that Lore gave to Elaine was just an opportunity. In other words, Elaine had been in contact with a certain human before, and had he obtained the undeteriorated genes from that human? I always felt...
.So dirty."
"Uh, cough, cough, cough..." Elaine almost choked to death.
"It's just a joke." King Arthur laughed and then became serious: "Elaine, you are not an ordinary orc, you are a dragon, a [manager] clan among orcs, a being who stands at the top of all orcs.
Even for ordinary orcs, there are too many secrets that have not been fully understood physiologically, and no one can tell what is going on. As a dragon, you have even more secrets. Don’t give up hope so easily.
, maybe there is still a way to change you back to your original shape."
"Hmm..." the white-haired boy whispered.
"Actually, I think it's better not to go back to the original shape." Constantine muttered from the side: "But if this is Elaine's decision, as a friend, I will respect it."
"I always feel...sorry." Elaine also whispered.
"Shouldn't you say [thank you] at this time? Why did it become [sorry]?" Constantine complained.
Elaine was silent for a while.
"Constantine, you still have your vacation today, right?" King Arthur suddenly asked: "Then take Elaine and go to the city to have some fun."
"Huh? Why do I have to take this guy to play------" Constantine said dissatisfied: "It would be okay if it was the original Elaine, but this guy has such a bad temper after becoming a human, I don't even want to
Make sure you can get along well with him."
"So didn't I say I was sorry..." Elaine whispered.
"Is it useful to apologize for this kind of thing?" Constantine couldn't laugh or cry.
"Anyway, things won't get better just by staying here. You might be able to find some new information if you go out for a walk." King Arthur came to Elaine's side, took off the wet towel covering the white-haired boy's face, picked up his cell phone and pointed it at Elaine.
A picture was taken of Ryan's face: "No one has ever seen this face. Let me check it against the national database of Great Britain and see what information I can gain."
"Please..." Elaine whispered, although he felt a little uncomfortable being photographed at such a close range.
"Then," even though he was reluctant, and even though he knew that Constantine was reluctant, Elaine sat up from the hospital bed and straightened his collar: "Let's go to the city."
"Is this your Majesty's order? Do I really need to carry it out?" Constantine turned his attention to King Arthur. It seemed that he really hated going to the city with Elaine.
"It's not an order, but a request." King Arthur replied: "If you really care about your friend, then take him to do what you think must be done. In fact, you also want him to return to the original Elaine.
, isn't it? Don't give up so simply. Only when you have tried everything and still have no results, can you be qualified to say give up."
Constantine and Elaine sighed deeply at the same time, knowing that they could never resist King Arthur's persuasion, so they had no choice but to do as they were told - otherwise the King of Knights would just continue to nag.
Seeing that the two finally compromised, King Arthur smiled mysteriously, turned and left: "Then farewell. You guys have fun."
"That may be difficult to do..." Elaine replied in a low voice, of course at a volume that was barely audible to King Arthur.
"Are you really that unwilling to go out with me?" After King Arthur left, Constantine also complained.
"I don't want to quarrel with you, let's go." Elaine pouted and whispered, already putting on her shoes. The slightly worn sneakers were worn by Constantine when he was a child.
"But, where is the best place to go?" Constantine was still busy cleaning up the messy medical room floor.
"Of course, go to the amusement park." Elaine replied without thinking, as if he was really a child and it was a child's nature to play.
"Ha?!?" A huge drop of cold sweat broke out from Constantine's forehead.
"No?" Elaine looked disappointed.
"How old are you, and you still go to the amusement park..."
"I've never been there before in my life, I just want to experience it once, can't I?" Elaine looked at Constantine again expectantly.
Sure enough, this Elaine who turned into a human is very strange. In the past, Elaine the White Bear would not take the initiative to ask where to do anything. She just followed the crowd without any opinion. For the fourth time today, Constantine once again doubted the young man in front of him.
Is it Elaine herself? But he is afraid that Elaine will tell the embarrassing things about his childhood that cannot be told to others, so he doesn't even dare to ask.
"Okay, just go and go..." Feeling like he was taking care of a child, Constantine sighed.
"yeah!"
"Please, don't let me..." Constantine couldn't help but cover his forehead, feeling very irritated. He obviously had a day off and planned to have a good rest, so why did he always have to run into such trouble?
