Chapter 230: Always Ready
As soon as the compartment was closed, Arthur resolved to teleport himself elsewhere but instead had another thought.
'Flying raijin...'
Suddenly, Koko appeared. She began to run across the walls, still too energetic to reason with. Then something happened. She felt the intensity of the cold air nip at her tiny frame before hugging his legs.
"It's too cold here, daddy!" she said, clinging onto him while shivering.
Perhaps the clash of cold temperatures could counter the pills' effects. But more experimenting would need to be performed to come to a proper conclusion.
"Koko," Arthur said, "how do you feel?"
"Just cold now," she answered, teeth chattering.
"Good. Then I need you to go grab the scrolls for me."
"I will! I promise!" she stammered.
Yet she didn't let go, forcing him to perform the flying raijin once more to teleport her away from the encumbering chill. He then exited the freezing unit to mix in a special liquid in a beaker.
Moments later, she appeared back in the laboratory, not as jittery or energetic as before. This was notable, making him believe the pills aftereffects weren't lethal.
