At 8 PM Tokyo time, Rudolph Symboli and Speed Symboli arrived together at a private medical clinic.
"Is this the place? The place where the person you mentioned, Family Head, who can treat me, is located?"
"Yes, if that person hasn't gone anywhere else."
The two entered. The lights were quite bright, and the overall setup resembled more of an infirmary than a medical clinic.
"Anshin Ze Sasa Bi, are you there? If you are, come out and meet us."
Speed Symboli suddenly called out, one hand on her hip, a smile on her face.
After her voice rang out, a response quickly came from the room inside.
A female figure walked out, her face showing confusion, saying:
"Oh? Isn't this Ms. Speed Symboli? What brings you here to my place?"
The female figure was, of course, Anshin Ze Sasa Bi. Her appearance was somewhat difficult to describe; perhaps it could be called unique taste...
She wore a white coat-like garment over a red, tight-fitting dress, a mask covering her eyes, and had long, wavy golden hair. (Image)
Her first impression was: unreliable.
Yes, just unreliable, at least that's what Rudolph Symboli thought.
"Indeed, there are some matters."
Speed Symboli nodded, gesturing to Rudolph Symboli beside her:
"This child is my relative; she's suffering from muscle pain in her leg that's difficult to eliminate. Do you have a way to treat her?"
"Relative?"
Anshin Ze Sasa Bi heard this, turned her head, and looked Rudolph Symboli over with an interested expression.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, she said with realization:
"Oh, oh, isn't this Rudolph Symboli? Last year's Triple Crown Horse Girls, the Student Council President of Central Tracen Academy."
Seeing this, Rudolph Symboli also put on a smile and greeted her:
"Nice to meet you, Dr. Anshin Ze Sasa Bi. As you know, I am Rudolph Symboli."
"Doctor?"
Anshin Ze Sasa Bi seemed to have triggered a keyword, her interest visibly increasing significantly:
"You just called me 'Doctor,' didn't you?"
"Just for that title, I will definitely cure you! It's just muscle pain, a piece of cake~"
Watching her relaxed demeanor, Speed Symboli shook her head, smiling wryly as she massaged her forehead.
Rudolph Symboli, on the other hand, let out a sigh of relief, feeling that the heavy gloom before her had dissipated somewhat, and light was beginning to appear.
With their thoughts varying, Anshin Ze Sasa Bi led Rudolph Symboli to the inner room and had her lie down on the bed.
"Although it's a piece of cake, I still need to tell Miss Rudolph Symboli something."
Anshin Ze Sasa Bi's expression turned serious as she said solemnly:
"The treatment method I use is Sasabari therapy, and the success rate cannot be guaranteed to be 100%."
"That is to say, there's a possibility of failure, which could lead to a worsening of the condition."
"?!"
Rudolph Symboli's eyes widened slightly as she looked at her, her face unable to hide some surprise:
"Is that so? Then, what is the success rate, please?"
"Hmm... Around 60%, I'd say."
She paused for a moment.
"Please consider carefully whether you wish to accept my treatment."
Sixty percent... Does that mean there's a 40% chance of failure?
For a moment, Rudolph Symboli fell into thought.
She recalled Polaris Glacier's words on the phone, and the sadness and dullness of not being able to run these past days.
Finally, her expression became firm:
"Will the treatment definitely be effective? And how long will the overall course of treatment take?"
"I can assure you of this: if successful, it will definitely be effective. And the treatment course is only this one time; it won't exceed two hours."
"Okay, I understand. Please treat me."
