"Huh? Wait for ?"
"Yeah, you’re a Transferee, and you co from the sa world as that gentleman. We wanted to talk to him earlier, but he didn’t seem to believe us at all. He said he would wait until you woke up to talk."
"I see... Oh, right, I think we just saw a Russian man."
Tangze Asuka imdiately sat up, and Fisher rubbed the wound on his face as he walked over from the window and said to Tangze Asuka,
"Michael Angel is still crafting items, and it’s hard for us to get close. That guy is watching downstairs, waiting for Michael to finish crafting. The Transferee isn’t simple; this whole room was given to him by Michael. He seems to be helping Michael forge sothing, but unfortunately, he doesn’t want to talk to us. We’ll have to ask you."
Yes, ever since being betrayed by Helair, Fisher’s way of referring to her changed from "Helair Angel" to "that guy," though this was in private, as they were still on the Holy Land’s territory. Not to ntion Helair is a Mythical Species with a rank much higher than theirs.
"Alright, no problem!"
Upon hearing this, Tangze Asuka nodded imdiately. For so reason, she felt a little excited. Since crossing into this world, she hadn’t been able to help at all. Luckily, Fisher and Hooked kiss had been helping her all along. Although she was just a regular high school girl, she understood the basic principle of gratitude. Helping them communicate with the Transferee was probably one of the few ways she could be of assistance.
Besides, she also sowhat wanted to chat with the other party. Although perhaps a few days ago they were strangers from different countries, here they might as well call each other "fellow Earthlings."
She took a deep breath, turned to look around, and was surprised to find many incomprehensible Angel tools in the room, their specific uses unknown. On the tables lay many scattered parts and devices, and this was precisely the room on the second floor where the Russian man had been standing.
Hooked kiss pointed to the deeper part of the room, and Tangze Asuka walked a considerable distance in that direction before seeing another smaller room in the corner. This room had a bed for sleeping, seemingly the Russian man’s private rest area.
At this mont, he was squatting beside the bed, handling a pile of strange parts scattered on the ground with one hand. Hearing Tangze Asuka’s approaching footsteps, he didn’t look back but spoke in Russian,
"Are you okay? Many living creatures here possess strength beyond human imagination. You’re still a Pure Body; surviving is already quite remarkable. Mikhail, that’s my na. And what about you? Are you the daughter of Sanjing Company or Guard Company? Your Pure Body is just too obvious."
Fisher and Hooked kiss couldn’t understand a word he was saying, so they looked at Tangze Asuka, only to find the girl’s face showing even more confusion than theirs, not comprehending his words at all,
"No... no, um... Mr. Mikhail, my na is Tangze Asuka, just an ordinary Japanese high school student from Capital City. I don’t... I don’t understand at all what you’re saying about the Guard or Pure Body or anything..."
Mikhail’s movents with the parts slightly stiffened, and he only let go of the peculiar black component in his right hand, before gradually turning his head and scanning Tangze Asuka up and down with one eye. He suddenly asked,
"What year is it for you?"
"Huh? This year, in this world? I don’t know either, I just recently..."
"I’m asking about the ti in your world."
"Oh, 1996..."
Mikhail’s expression finally showed a trace of genuine surprise, followed by a slightly mocking curve to his lips as he turned back to his components,
"I see, you’re lucky then, living in a relatively good era. So, are these two your friends?"
"It’s not a good era at all..."
Tangze Asuka muttered under her breath, her face slightly darkening. Mikhail chuckled and said,
"Indeed, it’s a good era. At least you haven’t experienced nuclear war and haven’t witnessed those big corporations taking everything, using humans as cogs and waste. Most of the ti, hope in your hearts outweighs despair... you just asked what a Pure Body is. A Pure Body is a complete human with no chanical prosthetics implanted, like you."
"Huh?"
Mikhail’s one-eyed glance shifted to the wall beside him. Tangze Asuka and Fisher followed his gaze, only then noticing a workbench not far from the edge of his bed, littered with strangely designed chanical arms, spines, and eyeballs...
It seed to correspond precisely to the missing parts of the peculiar man who called himself "Mikhail."
Hooked kiss narrowed his eyes, scanning the various prosthetics on the wall, then turned around, as if seeing the man in front of them for the first ti, examining carefully. Then, rather surprised, he said to Fisher beside him,
