Life as a mercenary turned into a girl is a bit difficult

Seeing the bitter smile on Jing Jing's face, Shang Shu was worried. Just when she was about to open her mouth to comfort her, Jing Jing spoke before her: "There's no need to comfort you. Sister Shang Shu, don't worry. Although I'm a little sorry, there are some things." I’ve thought it through too.”

Putting down the heavy burden on his heart, the corners of Hiiragi Jing's lips evoked the truest smile for the first time since waking up from the dream: "Believe me, no matter what happens, I will try to survive."

……

I spent nearly half an hour with Shang Shu. There were not many topics of conversation, just questions and answers. But even just staying like this was a quiet enjoyment for both parties.

It wasn't until the electronic ringtone at one o'clock in the afternoon was sent to both parties' ears by the broadcast on the wall that Fashion Shu stood up and prepared to leave. The purpose of coming this time was to confirm that Hiiragi Jing was safe and sound. Although she asked for leave, according to her: Today's The special business processing center was busy and she had to go back to help.

Watching Shang Shu disappear behind the door, until the sound of footsteps completely disappeared, Hiongjing slowly moved her eyes to the thermos box on the table, which was the lunch that Phil had left earlier.

His eyes returned to the electronic clock on the wall to confirm the time: one o'clock sharp.

It was obviously late for dinner, but she had no appetite.

After Shang Shu's conversation ended, the pain in her stomach that had been ignored seemed...how much deeper?She originally thought it was physical discomfort caused by irritability.

Hiiragi got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom in slippers. As a single ward in the medical department, the bathroom will not disappoint. The floor and walls paved with white tiles look spotless, and all kinds of facilities are available. Flowers and flowers are also available. Sprinkle, bath, sink... toilet.

During the time in the nuclear wasteland of JD Abandoned City, I didn't feel anything wrong when I just found a place to solve it on the spot. However, I became so sensitive when I returned to the Newborn City.

I have watched it so many times, why am I still hesitating?

Hiiragi smiled to herself. Just as she was about to lift up her skirt, her eyes suddenly fixed on the ground between her legs: the white tiles were dotted with a small but extremely dazzling red.

Blood?

Where did it come from?

She stared blankly as she moved her gaze along the possible dripping path of blood to her lower body, where two dots of similar red the size of fingernails were stained under her white nightgown at some point. A little stickiness between her buttocks was also absorbed by her. Become aware slowly.

This is...her blood? !

After receiving the confirmation, Hiiragi's eyes widened in disbelief. In just a moment, her hands and feet gradually became cold, and her heart rate and breathing gradually became faster.

Is she bleeding?Are you injured somewhere?Or is there an unknown pathology in the body?Obviously just now I made an agreement with Sister Shang Shu to try to survive. Could it be that I am still no match for the erosion of pollution...

Chapter 71 A rare outing and the education plan of Newborn City

"I originally thought that your physical development would be lagging behind due to malnutrition, and I speculated that your menstrual period would be later than that of normal people... But judging from the timing of menarche this time, it seems that your physical self Her conditioning skills are quite good..."

Putting the blood-stained jumpsuit into the clothes basket on the trolley, he reached out to take off the pen from his ear and wrote down a note on the folder in his hand. He wanted to take advantage of this to do something to Hiiragi's body. It was a good check-up, but when she saw Hiiragi huddled in the corner of the bathroom with her knees in her arms, such thoughts immediately dissipated.

"Don't worry, this is a normal physiological phenomenon for girls. It's a sign that you are starting to grow. It's better to say that it's something to be happy about... Moreover, the time is neither too early nor too late. It's very healthy. Don't worry, it's generally In this case, it will be over in three to four days, and the amount of bleeding will not be a lot..."

"Sister Fei'er..."

Just as Phil was thinking about his words in an attempt to appease the frustrated Hiiragi, the other party suddenly raised his head and asked: "What will my body...be like?"

What does it look like?

This question caught Phil off guard for a moment. Although she didn't quite understand what Hiiragi meant, she still chose to take it literally and tried to steer the topic in a good direction: "Then... this, ah, of course. My breasts are getting bigger and bigger and my appearance is getting prettier.”

He originally thought that his words would make the other party's mood improve, but what Phil didn't expect was that his explanation not only failed to achieve this goal, but also made Hiiragi even more frustrated. He saw the other party burying his head in his knees. Autistic Phil didn't know which sentence he said wrong.

It is normal for a girl who has experienced such a thing to feel depressed for the first time, but Hiiragi Jing is different. She faintly feels that Hiiragi Jing's loss and fear do not seem to come from the same source as others. It is due to menarche, but another more complicated reason.

Phil's intuition was not wrong. Although menarche had a big impact on Hiiragi, it was not the menarche itself that made Hiiragi feel uneasy the most.

Hiiragi Jing was not ignorant of what was happening in her body. At least she knew about this woman's monthly blood loss buff through Shang Shu.

This time's menarche brought out exactly a fact that she thought she had already accepted: she was already a girl, at least physically there was no need to doubt it.

Before this, her experience of this change was only in terms of strength, body, appearance, urinary posture, etc.

The good thing is that her body seems to have some good self-healing capabilities. In addition, she can still live her own way.

Especially after taking over the mission and entering the nuclear wasteland of JD Abandoned City, she was still able to be active on the battlefield as a mercenary, and her performance in such a dangerous environment was not weaker than that of the professional combatants in the newly born city. This made her She had the illusion that her transformation was just that.

But this time her menarche gave her a head-on blow, completely shattering her illusion of feeling good about herself.

The most direct impact is that it has been difficult for her to go out during this special period. In addition to her physical weakness affecting fighting, the smell of blood will also make her situation in the outside world extremely dangerous.

Almost all monsters that have been discovered and recorded have a strong reaction to the smell of fresh blood. Even the more docile monsters that rarely attack humans will become extremely aggressive when stimulated by the smell of blood.In the future, the frequency of once a month will bring great restrictions to her.

In addition, this incident also impacted Hiiragi Jing's understanding of herself. Even when Han Nianling forced herself to sign the employment contract, she did not feel so profoundly.

That was when she truly realized that she had completely said goodbye to her past life. Only this kind of real change in her body could make her experience so profound...

Wait...what's wrong with me?

Suddenly realizing that her self-centered emotional expression might cause others to worry, Hiei Jing immediately put away her messy thoughts and laughed at herself in her heart, knowing that she, who had experienced so much, would be shaken by an ordinary bloodshed.

It's as if her way of thinking is no longer the same as before. Maybe she still needs some change in which she can agree with herself.

"Um, is your stomach still hurting? Do you want to eat first?" Phil couldn't help but take another look at the thermos box on the table. It was already too late to eat at this time.

"No...it's nothing. Don't worry. I just have a temporary loss of appetite. I'll just lie down for a while."

Hiiragi reassured the other person with a relieved smile, then stood up from the ground and walked towards the bed. The extra cushion between her hips made her a little uncomfortable while walking, which made her pace seem a bit stiff. .

"So that means you don't plan to go out today?"

Just when she was about to get into bed and digest everything that happened today, Phil's voice suddenly stopped her, and she turned back in a daze. Hiiragi suspected that she had just heard a hallucination.

"What did you say?"

"Apply out of town."

He shook the folder in his hand emphatically. After seeing Hiiragi's full attention attracted by his words, Phil's face showed a smile of control, "Just now, your application for going out, Teacher Han, has been Passed, except for the time period from [-]pm to [-]am and some physical examination time periods, it is within the scope of application. The only condition is that it needs to be accompanied by someone."

"How's it going? Going out?"

……

It has been three years since I followed the refugees to Newborn City, but Hiiragi's activities are basically in the outer city area and the wasteland world outside the wall. She doesn't know much about Newborn City, especially the situation in the inner city of Newborn City.

Except for the two situations where she needs to visit Sister Shang Shu who lives in the apartment after returning from a mission, and when she goes to the health center to treat injuries that cannot be solved by private clinics in the outer city, she basically will not set foot in the inner city.

The most important reason is...it's not necessary.

She spent most of her time training and going out. The comfort and order of the inner city made her feel out of place every time she stepped into it.

But now that I have put aside the mercenary mission and all the trivial matters in the past, I am in the healing period and have a chance to get to know this place well.

Especially after three days of being depressed in a small space, Hiiragi, who originally had little interest in the inner city, was now full of curiosity and desire to explore.

And here is indeed different from the outer city. There are not so many standing army soldiers and armored vehicles everywhere. The roads are wider and the pace of pedestrians is more orderly. There are actually trees planted on the green belts beside the sidewalks. This is unlike the outer city. It is quite rare. In order to provide a wider field of vision for the soldiers standing guard, even the street signs and street lights in the outer city were installed through internal testing.

"This is the southwest area of ​​District [-] of the inner city. It is basically the area where wealthy businessmen and base government officials live. Medical, shopping, entertainment and other industries are also relatively complete, and the level of security is also very high. When the newborn city was first established, it was basically We will plan according to the original layout of the ruins here." Holding Hiiragi's hand and walking on the sidewalk, Phil explained to him the overview of this area.

"In addition, many researchers in the institute also live here, such as Teacher Han, her residence is also nearby."

"Ok?"

Phil's words made Hiiragi's eyes involuntarily scan the surroundings, as if looking for the private house that looked more like Han Nianling's residence.

"However, the residential area only accounts for a small part of the inner city's District [-]. District [-] is more home to various schools and technical training centers. It has trained a large number of engineers, technical workers, researchers, etc. for the newborn city. …They are the rare backbone in building the newborn city.”

Hiiragi knows a little bit about this: the plan that was terminated due to military operations in the dream was continued in reality. In the "Newborn City Public Service Construction Plan", there are many plans for "citizen education" here. mentioned.

What impressed her most was that District No. [-] in the inner city would build the largest primary education center in the new city, and provide free enlightenment education and standard nutritious meals to all children under the age of six in the city. Miscellaneous expenses and food expenses are paid by the base government.

The food standard provided by New City for students is by no means easy, and can even be called rich. In this era of tight supplies, it still includes no less than [-] ml of milk, high-calcium products, meat products, and even More than [-] grams of seasonal fruits and vegetables.

In the entire Southern Federation, Newborn City's emphasis on education can be said to be one of the best. The existence of the institute makes Newborn City very attentive to cultivating talents, and its expenditure on education is no less than that of the military.

"Actually, I also participated in the compilation of children's enlightenment textbooks. In fact, this was originally the work of Teacher Han... I was too busy during that time, and I was so idle when the work was over." Phil mentioned himself in a boastful way. The work, and Hiiragi Jing was really surprised.

"Does a senior researcher still do this kind of thing?"

"What's the point? A few years ago, even the instructors of the security team were recruited as head sports coaches. After all...compared to the students, the number of qualified teachers is still too small. It is foreseeable that once free enlightenment education is implemented, There will be an even greater shortage of teachers in the Newborn City..."

Teachers...short? !

"Actually, if you don't want to continue being a mercenary, it's not bad to come here to be a teacher. Enlightenment education doesn't require much professional knowledge. After training, you should be competent enough."

"This...I will consider it."

Teacher... He said he would consider it, but Phil's proposal made it impossible for Hiiragi, who had always wanted to be a mercenary, to accept it. She would rather explore the wasteland world than face a group of noisy children, but this is Hiiragi's eyes lit up.

Haven't I always hoped that Sister Shang Shu could change her job and leave the special business processing center? Maybe this is a rare opportunity.

Volume [-]: Western Jungle Chapter

Chapter 1 Discharge and the mysterious underground space (with photos))

May 134, New Era 5 - 10:33 am.

Staring at the electronic screen on the automatic retractable fence, the constantly scrolling red subtitles allowed her to confirm the current time.

She inadvertently looked through the gap between the fence poles and cast her gaze towards the small white building not far behind the automatic retractable fence. That was where the Medical Department of the Newborn City Research Institute where she had been imprisoned for five days was located.

Five days was not a long time, but when she walked out of the door and bathed in the sunshine, standing outside the medical department and looking at the scene outside, she felt a feeling of eternity.

She even had some doubts in her heart: was the place she was in now real or an illusion? Even the feeling of stepping on the ground under her feet was not evidence of her conviction.

Have I really...already come out?

She repeatedly confirmed the relationship between herself and the small building inside and outside, and confirmed the fact that she had been freed. The excitement in her heart kept surging and washing over her heart. If she hadn't taken into account the opinions of the pedestrians on the street and the guards at the door, she would have wanted to vent. cried out loudly.

"I'm glad to see you are in such good spirits. You must be recovering well, right?"

She had been immersed in the pleasure of unfettered freedom for less than three minutes when a long-lost and familiar greeting suddenly came from behind her, and she was completely pulled out of her own world. Heaven suddenly fell into a bottomless abyss.

In this shattered illusion, Hiiragi suddenly recalled something she had forgotten: even after leaving the medical department, she still did not break away from that person's control. A contract was signed by her personally. become an established fact.

"Han...Han employer."

The owner of the voice was none other than Han Nianling, who had not seen her for several days because of her busy schedule... Phil had just said that Han Nianling would come back to pick her up today, but he was temporarily forgotten because he was so excited after leaving the medical department.

Slowly turning around to look at the other party, Hiiragi Jing was slightly surprised by Han Nianling, who did not have an impressive combat uniform nor the most common white coat. He was just wearing ordinary clothes.

Although he lacks the heroic and decisive temperament in the impression, Han Nianling now gives people an intellectual sense of beauty. After all, even in terms of image alone, Han Nianling is not weaker than anyone in the wasteland world. The beauty of the women Hiiragi has seen is not enough to impress Hiiragi and make her forget where her current experience comes from.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time but you still put on a bad face. Is this how you face your employer?" Han Nianling, who was standing on the roadside, said while looking at the other person up and down, with a rather contented smile on his face. "How's it going? Are you still used to wearing the clothes I picked out for you?"

Han Nianling's words made Hiei Jing subconsciously look at her current attire.

The clothes she wore in the JD Abandoned City Nuclear Wasteland were cremated due to serious wear and contamination. During her hospitalization, she had been wearing patient clothes provided by the medical department of the institute.

Originally, she was thinking about whether she should return to her residence to get clothes, but Han Nianling had obviously anticipated this. This complete set of clothes, pants, shoes and socks, both inside and outside, was delivered to her early by Phil. bedside.

The khaki bottoming shirt and the black long windbreaker are not too decorated. Only the right chest has a string of barcodes recording the production number. It looks very simple, but the material is extremely tough, no matter Hiiragi pulls or pulls it. **, the fibers of the fabric will return to their original shape immediately.

The same goes for the knee-length cropped trousers on the lower body, but for some reason there are a bunch of belts and magic buckles hanging on the waistband. Although it does not hinder movement, it makes the walking wobbly and feels unclear. Is it for the purpose of walking? Do you want to carry more items during combat?

The striped over-the-knee socks clinging to the skin gave Hiiragi a very novel experience when she tried them on for the first time, but she had to admit that they were indeed very comfortable. The boots on her feet were a style Hiiragi had never seen before, but It also belongs to the category of easy movement, and it also meets Hiiragi's need for quick putting on and taking off.

Hiiragi doesn't care about the appearance. The clothes generally feel light and fit, suitable for the various movements of the body in combat. The material is also comfortable and wear-resistant, at least it won't be like the clothes she bought from the market. After several times of high intensity, it completely turned into strips of cloth, which made Hiiragi the most satisfied.

"Thanks……"

"This is my duty as an employer. Also, this is for you to wear on a daily basis. The combat uniforms for missions will be issued separately..."

After interrupting Hiiragi Jing's thank you, Han Nianling could see at a glance what perspective Hiiragi Jing was evaluating the value of this suit of clothes. However, in general, it was recognized by Hiiragi Jing himself: "Since there is no problem, Then don’t waste time and get in the car.”

boarding?

Hiei Jing looked away from her clothes and followed Han Nianling's instructions. Only then did she notice a gray-painted car parked on the roadside behind her. There was a blue Erlenmeyer bottle logo printed on the front of the car. With its affiliated unit - the Newborn City Research Institute.

Is this a special vehicle for the institute?

There are not many vehicles like this specially used for transportation in the city. Most of them are public vehicles of the New City base government to facilitate the official needs of government personnel in the city. The reason for private purchase is also to deal with the demand for armed vehicles in the inner city. Strict control over access.

After all, this kind of car is not equipped with weapons or armored plates, and it is not suitable for off-roading. The safe range of activities is only within the city. In terms of cost performance, it is far inferior to buying a low-profile armed car.

The only advantage is probably that I feel more comfortable doing it...

"where are we going?"

Sitting in the passenger seat at Han Nianling's signal, Hiei Jing habitually fastened her seat belt. Even she understood that it was difficult to have real traffic in the inner city where there was no danger of monsters and the speed limit was [-]. ACCIDENT.

"Go and claim your personal belongings first, and then... take you to meet someone."

"who is it?"

"You will know when you wait."
