CH 107

This is the Transition Room. Haru and I had placed a cushion in one corner of the room and were hurriedly arranged potions around it.

Besides the cushions, we lined up several photographs. All of the photos showed my entire body from the time I grew to my current height until I lost my hands.

I found a lot of photos, but only a few of them met the two requirements of having my current height and having my whole body in the picture.

Assuming that the changes in the body due to the [Water of Evolution] would be based on an image, we prepared pictures to make that image clear.

If we wanted, I could have had naked pictures taken from all directions, but of course, we don’t have such pictures. And of course, I didn’t have any. I mean, who would save such pictures of themselves?

“Well, let’s do it.” (Haru)

After arranging dozens of potions around the cushion, I sat down on the cushion in the center of the room. I spread out the photos I had gathered and laid them out in front of me.

“Come, Brother. I’ll check the process.” (Haru)

Haru said and stuck out her index finger toward me.

“Drink the [Water of Evolution] quickly! It’s no good if the change starts halfway while you’re in mid-drinking.” (Haru)

Haru sticks out her second finger.

“Next, wait for the arm to return to its original state. If it looks like a different area is going to change, drink the potion as needed to regulate it.” (Haru)

She raised her hand above her head and held up three fingers, then swung it down.

“As soon as your hand is healed, you will drink the potion. I’ll keep pouring. Okay?!” (Haru)

“Yeah!” (Kei)

I opened the lid of the bottle containing the [Water of Evolution] and said.

“I’m ready.” (Kei)

“Yup!” (Haru)

I made up my mind, drank the Water of Evolution in one gulp, and that was the end of my consciousness.

“Brother” (Haru)

Haru’s shout woke me up, and I jumped to my feet. At the same time, I felt a strong pain in my head. It was a sharp pain as if I’d been hit hard in the head.

I rubbed my eyes a few times to clear my blurry vision and looked around. I was in the basement, the entrance to the dungeon. I was lying on a blanket, and my item pouch and weapons were lined up in a corner of the room.

And beside me was Haru, holding her head and trembling in her sleep.

“Haru, what’s wrong? Are you okay?” (Kei)

I supported my wobbly body with my hand and extended my hand to Haru. After shaking her a few times, I noticed a strange feeling.

“Hey, Haru my hand is healed.” (Kei)

The left hand that had grown while I was asleep was now firmly supporting my body. I opened my left hand, squeezed it, and repeated a few times to make sure there was nothing wrong.

With my right hand, I touched it, pushed it, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with my bones. There was no strange weakness or overexertion.

“Haru, get up. I’m back, all of me!” (Kei)

I shook Haru again. She started to move to make small twitches. The next time, I shook her harder. The next moment she looked up as if she was going to jump up.

“I know your hands have healed! I have a headache!” (Haru)

An hour later, I was standing in the kitchen with my numb legs in pain, after listening to the angry Haru and apologizing to her. Apparently, I had given Haru a big headbutt when she woke up.

For now, I’ll just remember that the first task of my new left hand was to make cookies to appease Haru.
