Aias: from a world of kaijus to a world of fantasy and magic

Ch 57

Going home, I was careful to make sure nobody followed us, which thankfully nobody was.

When we were home, I sighed at everything because this was going to be a pain to deal with.

Clare offered to prepare a bath for me again, but I told her not to do that because I was too mentally exhausted after hearing everything. Honestly, none of it made any sense; I doubted I figured it out with what information I was told.

I just changed my clothes and went to bed with my short sword under my pillow.

I haven't done this in a while, but I better be a light sleeper for the next few days to be ready if someone attacks us. Maybe I should make Clare sleep in my bed since it's big enough for two and safer because I will be next to her if anything happens.

Thinking that, I don't think Clare would want that because Clare wants our relationship to be more of a master-servant one than friends.

I sigh my last sigh and shut my eyes to go to sleep.

...

...

...

Feeling a stinging pain across my cheeks, I shot my eyes wide open.

"Hey, you awake?!"

"What did you do that for?"

I tiredly and annoyedly complained as I looked around my surroundings after being slapped by Norn, to see I was in the elevator going down from my named Aias to ground level while on a stretcher, carried by two medics.

"You collapsed when we got out of the cockpit. Be thankful that I caught you and that Scott prepared a medical team on standby."

"And whose fault was that? I've barely gotten any sleep this week from having to write reports since you've gotten us in trouble this week."

I gave Norn the snake eye, which Norn could only tell under our expressionless face.

She looked away like she was blissfully unaware and didn't see anything as the elevator doors opened to ground level.

We walked out of the elevator as a maintenance worker returned our jackets. We then went to a cart, ready to take us to the infirmary.

The driver began driving as I looked up from the stretcher to see the hangar's massive ceilings above me and the heads of multiple Aiases.

When we were at the door to the infirmary next to the hangar, I recovered enough strength to walk with Norn's help.

A couple of nurses led us to a room specifically designated for us as we passed by other pilots sitting on special-looking chairs with tubes, monitors, pumps, and other medical equipment on them. These chairs are called Ortif chairs. They take blood in our body and get rid of the Ori energy in our blood while also injecting medical nanomachines to repair our body from the strain and damage from Ori energy flowing through our body.

Going inside the room designated for us, which had Ortif chairs that looked different from the ones outside since they were newer models and a wall full of medical supplies just for us, Norn sat on the one on the left, while one of the nurses helped me sit on the one on the right.

I put my arms on the armrest, and it caused a clicking sound that locked my wrist and elbow to the armrest as a nurse took out a blood bag from one of the medicine cabinets with a refrigerator and put it into the chair for me since I was coughing out quite a bit of blood when I got back.

Feeling a pinching sensation on both my wrists, which were needles being injected into my wrist and into my arteries, a loading screen opened in my helmet.
