Bad Born Blood Chapter 325

325
I don’t even know how I moved or ran. I was just struggling not to let go of Giselle.

When I came to, I had arrived at the dock where the space cruiser I had come on was.

My consciousness was hazy. My memories were as if they were watered down. The memories themselves were not gone. When I concentrated, they all came back to me. The problem is that I have to concentrate to remember them.

Kkieeeeee!

There was a loud noise as the structure of the orbital hospital suddenly came to a halt.

Wheeing!

The hallway lights flickered on and off, and a bright red bruise lit up the wall along with an annoying beep.

Dooooooow!

The artificial gravity of the Orbital Hospital has disappeared. The rotation that creates the artificial gravity has stopped.

‘It must be Barbara’s doing.’

With gravity gone from the entire Orbital Hospital, the interior will be in chaos. It’s a good situation for us to operate.

Woohoo.

I floated in zero gravity and entered the cargo hold of a spaceship.

I put Giselle down in the cargo hold and took a breath. Giselle still hasn’t regained consciousness.

Boom! Boom!

There was a knock on the door inside the cabin. The locked cabin was like a prison to the passengers.

‘I’m sorry, but you’ll have to act as a hostage until we get back.’

I looked towards the cabin, then turned my head and stared at the mooring. Soon Barbara appeared.

Chijik, Chik.

Barbara’s entire body was pulsing with electricity intermittently. Her temples and the nape of her neck in particular showed dark scars of overload and overheating, and acrid smoke still rose from the damaged areas.

“I guess it wasn’t easy for you either?”

I said as I watched Barbara floating into the cargo hold.

Barbara ignored me and flew towards Giselle.

“… … Ah, I found Giselle. Really, she was here.”

Barbara’s hand touched Giselle’s face.

Gulp.

Giselle’s organic mask was half-melted and could be easily removed by hand. It would have stuck to her face like a living part before she went into cryosleep. It was a clever disguise.

Ssuk.

As the organic mask was removed, Giselle’s old face was revealed.

“Hee, hee, good job, Luca.”

Barbara looked at me with a smile. Her sparkling eyes and smile were creepy.

But to Barbara, that would be a genuine smile.

“Let’s go.”

I urged him on. In fact, I felt like I was going to close my eyes and faint at any moment.

“I already do. Do you think a spaceship is like a car that starts moving as soon as you start it?”

Barbara’s pupils glowed with many colors.

Now it’s up to Barbara to escape. I can only watch.

Yeah, just looking… … .

Boom!

… … I flinched. There was a vibration from the floor. It was enough to shake the cargo.

‘what?’

I thought the spaceship had been attacked before departure. However, when I looked around, I saw that the spaceship had already escaped from the orbital hospital.

‘The surrounding scenery has changed.’

The loud noise just now was the impact of a spaceship entering the planet Novas.

‘… … My memory has completely disappeared.’

I had no memory of anything after leaving the orbital hospital. It was a complete loss.

If it weren’t for the warmth of Giselle’s arms, I would have screamed.

“You’ve really got the taste, hehe.”

Barbara smiled at me. She was piloting the spaceship using a holographic interface.

“What happened?”

“You just passed out with your eyes open. You were just staring blankly at Giselle.”

My brain forcibly cut off my consciousness. It was the brain’s protective instinct to prevent irreversible damage.

‘My consciousness was turned off without my will.’

I had a feeling this kind of thing would happen more often in the future.

“You got Giselle, but you didn’t kill me.”

I tried not to relax until I got to the ground, because I had a hard time trusting Barbara completely.

Barbara is a dangerous person. I thought she would kill me without hesitation to monopolize Giselle.

“Because Giselle will be sad if you die. If I had decided to kill you, I could have done it a long time ago. Who do you think admitted you to Lazarus and forged your identity in the first place?”

Barbara said, manipulating the holographic interface delicately. The spaceship was about to land.

“… … That’s true.”

It seemed like Barbara really didn’t… …have any intention of killing me.

Relaxed, I rested my back and head on the cargo.

‘Giselle is here.’

As if it were a lie, Giselle was in my arms. It still didn’t feel real.

I smoothed out the blanket covering Giselle’s body.

“haha…….”

I found myself laughing. I felt like tears were about to well up in my eyes.

Barbara looked at me expressionlessly, then focused on operating the spaceship.

CLANG!

As it neared the ground, the spacecraft began to shake more.

“Barbara.”

“I’m concentrating, so if you have anything to say, say it quickly.”

“Really… … I never thought I’d say this, but I should thank you. It’s true that Giselle and I have been helped a lot by you.”

As a result, Barbara was devoted to Giselle. Giselle’s plans could not have been accomplished without Barbara’s help.

“Luka, don’t get me wrong. I don’t need your gratitude. What I want to hear is Giselle’s gratitude.”

I chuckled.

Even if it was forced, my brain rested and my mind became much clearer.

‘Barbara doesn’t like Giselle as a lover.’

Barbara is not some great saint, and there is no way she would let a rival lover live. She has possessive feelings for Giselle, but it is a possessiveness that is different from romantic feelings.

‘To Barbara, Giselle is… … .’

All I know is that Barbara and Giselle were close in the past. There was a time when Giselle considered Barbara a friend.

‘I thought she was a friend until I found out Barbara’s true nature.’

I looked at Barbara. The word devoted suited her very well.

Even if they were lovers, it would be difficult to be devoted like Barbara. No, because they were lovers, it might be even more difficult to be devoted for a long time.

Unfortunately, the feeling of love is easily distorted and volatile. Giselle knows this, which is why she stopped her time.

“Barbara, what does Giselle mean to you?”

The question came out of my mouth naturally.

Barbara looked at me only after she finished manipulating the hologram. She tilted her head to the side as if her neck was being twisted.

Squeak.

Barbara tilted her head from side to side several times. She was hesitant to answer, but eventually shrugged her shoulders.

“I don’t even know Barbara anymore. Giselle… …what is she to me? Hehe.”

… … I felt sorry for Barbara.

* * *

The rest of the plan proceeded quietly.

The Honeyspace spaceship we captured crashed in a wasteland that doesn’t belong to any nation. A rescue team for the passengers will come later.

Barbara called the vehicle she had prepared in advance, and we quickly got into the vehicle and left the landing zone.

The modified vehicle we were riding in was the type commonly used by nomads. It was a crude vehicle, made of scrap metal, and rattled as it crossed the wasteland.

Woohoo.

The vehicle went into autonomous driving mode.

Even Barbara, who was like an iron woman, seemed to have reached her limit and was sleeping leaning against the driver’s seat.

I also dozed off in the back seat with Giselle next to me.

Every time I opened my eyes, I confirmed Giselle’s presence.

‘… … It’s really over.’

I found Giselle. She was now by my side. Every time I heard her wheezing breath, I felt a sense of relief.

A soft, fluffy cat-like feeling was caressing my heart. I also felt ticklish.

At this moment, I wanted to forget everything in the world and indulge in warm feelings.

Wiggle.

Giselle’s body moved. I, too, opened my eyes from half-asleep.

In fact, I was seriously injured and needed rest and treatment. If I were a normal person, I would have died long ago.

“Lou, Ka?”

Giselle blinked. Her pupils were like a broken camera, unable to focus at once.

“Get up, young lady.”

Giselle was also looking up at me with hazy eyes. Her pupils gradually dilated.

Giselle reached out and touched my cheek, as if she found my very existence hard to believe.

“… … Hahaha, really. It really is you, Luca. It’s funny.”

I don’t know what was funny, but I laughed along.

“I had a hard time finding it.”

“I’m sorry. Was that a bit confusing?”

Giselle ran her fingers over my face, sometimes pinching it hard.

“It hurts.”

“It’s a mess in many ways. Looking at the situation, it seems like things didn’t go as planned. And… … .”

Giselle stared at the driver’s seat. Barbara was so tired that she didn’t even wake up from the commotion.

Sigh.

Giselle grabbed the front seat and pulled herself forward. She ran her slender fingers down the back of Barbara’s neck.

Giselle was looking at Barbara with gentle eyes.

“Barbara, you’ve worked hard.”

I was startled. The girl who had been afraid of Barbara was nowhere to be seen.

There before me was a mature woman who seemed to embrace even her past.

‘Giselle has changed. She is not the girl I knew.’

I know it well, but it felt strange to see it in person.

Giselle must feel the same way when she sees me. I must have changed from before.

“Oh, Giselle? Hmm.”

Only then did Barbara wake up. She took Giselle’s hand and placed it against her cheek.

“It tickles, Barbara. It’s a regenerated limb, so it’s sensitive.”

In a place I didn’t know, Barbara and Giselle formed a bond. Their relationship was different from what I knew. The two seemed to have become quite close.

Looking at the two of them, I felt a sense of jealousy creeping into my heart. Damn, you’re such a pathetic man, Luca.

‘There were things going on between those two that I didn’t know about.’

Giselle stroked Barbara’s head, and Barbara yawned, enjoying Giselle’s touch.

“Giselle, I’ll sleep better, so wake me up when we get there. And… …all men are beasts, so be careful.”

Barbara closed her eyes with a very relaxed expression and fell asleep again.

Giselle also sat down next to me and picked up the blanket that had fallen down.

“If you think about it, he’s a pitiful kid.”

Giselle took a deep breath as she spoke. I took out the water jug ​​and offered it to her.

“Should I speak first, or should I speak first?”

I got lucky. Giselle cleared her throat and wiped her mouth.

Now we can’t just hug each other affectionately and talk about good things. We have to share a lot of information.

… … But it seems I was the only one who felt the need to share.

Hold on.

Giselle took my hand and squeezed it. She whistled as if singing and then laughed.

But that smile was wavering.

“Kiss me before you talk, Luca.”

Anxiety was evident even at the end of his words.

“why?”

It was something I said without even realizing it. Even when I think about it, my dating skills are really lacking. But it’s true that I felt doubtful and uncomfortable.

“Is this so?”

“I can’t stand being curious, it’s my occupational disease.”

“Occupational disease?”

“He’s become quite famous as a detective these days. He’s called Detective Luca… … .”

Giselle laughed brightly and then choked. She let out a hoarse cough and barely managed to calm herself down.

“… … After you hear my story, you might hate or despise me. So before that, I want you to kiss me.”

Giselle was afraid to reveal her changes. But I was afraid too.

It’s time to see how much we’ve changed.
