Chapter 236 - Hero Constitution
"What should we do if a tumor is also found in your head?"
Saying things like that, Professor Otsuki sent instructions to the surrounding staff.
Right now, I was lying on my back on the bed of a CT-equipped vehicle parked within the university grounds.
This vehicle apparently serves not only for living patients but also as a dedicated emergency diagnostic vehicle for corpses.
A mechanical great detective that goes out to crime scenes to examine abnormal bodies, so to speak.
In other words, it is a vehicle with deep ties to the police, and that might be the reason why it could be rented through Public Security.
"I won't do anything special. If it's proven that that guy is living inside my head, I'd actually be happy about it."
"Is that voice's owner more important to you than Ayako?"
"No, that's..."
As I was stammering like that, a female staff member approached.
She was gripping a syringe in her hand, and it seemed she was intending to inject it into me.
"I want to get a better view of your internal organs, so I'm going to administer some contrast agent. You might feel a sensation of your body getting hot or your chest throbbing, but it'll be over soon, so please bear with it—"
"Ah... I don't think the syringe will work. I don't think the needle will pass through."
"There's no need to be scared, you'll be fine—"
Was she originally in the medical field? Her tone and atmosphere were like a nurse's, and she was efficient.
While maintaining a pleasant expression, she lifted my right arm and briskly applied disinfectant near the inside of my elbow. Then, she tied my forearm with a tube, and just as she pressed the syringe against a particularly thick vein... the needle snapped with a pop.
"Eh?"
I sighed, thinking, I told you so.
If you want to make a needle that can pierce my skin, I recommend using Orichalcum as the material.
"Your body is interesting. Just what is going on with it?"
To Professor Otsuki, who raised an excited voice,
"Maybe I'm like a transforming hero who was modified by an evil organization,"
I replied jokingly.
"I only have a daughter, you see. I'm not well-versed in special effects shows."
After he gave me a curt reply, Professor Otsuki went outside the vehicle and closed the door.
After waiting like that for a while, the device began to move slowly, covering my body.
Just as my vision went pitch black, the voice guidance instructed me to hold my breath for about fifteen seconds.
As I held my breath exactly as told, a mechanical sound rang out every few seconds. This was followed by a thump-thump sound, like something was rotating.
Eventually, the device covering me slid back into the depths with a gliding motion, and light returned to my vision.
The rear door was opened, and the professors climbed back into the vehicle.
"Did you take images of my whole body?"
"Might as well, since we're at it."
Professor Otsuki asked if I had any symptoms such as nausea or dizziness, and upon finding no particular problems, he immediately retreated toward the back.
I could hear something like groaning sounds... are my tomographic images showing something that strange?
"Nakamoto-kun."
From the front of the vehicle, Professor Otsuki called out in an excited voice.
"It's here, wonderful! A massive tumor is visible!"
...That is Elsa's soul.
To me, it is irreplaceable.
There is no way I could feel any discomfort.
Rather than being upset that my body was being poked and prodded, I was moved by the fact that a physical connection to Elsa remained.
So much so that I unintentionally teared up and let out a sniffle.
"However, the location is concerning. The roots of the tumor extend right around the hypothalamus."
"Is there something wrong with that area?"
"This is the region that governs temperature regulation, drinking behavior, eating behavior, and also sexual desire."
"Se-sexual desire?"
"Do you have any idea why? I hope no abnormal behavior regarding food or sex has occurred."
"Come to think of it, ever since I was summoned to another world, I've developed a constitution that allows me to hold women fourteen to fifteen times in a row."
"...You might be the kind of person who should have multiple wives in many different senses. Please, don't break Ayako..."
Though that's not an issue because I have Recovery Magic.
If I heal their fatigue and inflammation with magic, I almost never place a physical burden on the partner.
Instead, they go mentally unstable, though.
By the end, Elsa had reached the point where she would go into heat just by making eye contact.
Seeing Elsa's lewd state like that, Philia and Erin were absolutely furious.
...I see.
I suppose it really was because I only held Elsa that I caused all sorts of trouble.
Since I had finally become a Hero Down to the Lower Body, I should have satisfied all the Party Members.
"The thickness of the muscle fibers... they are well-trained, but within the range of humanity. How on earth can you produce that ridiculous jumping power with this?"
"I wonder why."
I don't really understand the logic behind it either.
There is no answer other than that I get stronger when I level up.
"Just to be safe, may I also collect a semen sample?"
"I don't want that."
After that, Professor Otsuki's onslaught continued, and I was thoroughly examined all over my body...
