Chapter 49
The green magical potion slipped into Go Yeongeun's mouth. Gulp. Gulp.
When the liquid was gone, and the glass bottle was completely empty— "...!"
Go Yeongeun lowered the bottle. Eyes wide open, she brought both hands to her ears... And, trembling within her palms, as if new flesh was sprouting over an injury, round lumps of flesh began growing where her ears had been torn away.
In an instant, they started taking shape. The helix, tragus, and earlobes all formed distinct structures around the cartilage, and then... They became whole again.
"..." "W-Wow...!!"
Goodness. "Go Yeongeun-ssi?" "Yes!! Oh! I can hear! I can actually hear...!"
Go Yeongeun exclaimed in disbelief as she touched her newly grown ears, then opened her smartphone's camera app to inspect them. As expected, they looked identical to her original ears.
"Does it hurt or feel uncomfortable?" "Not at all! It just itched for a moment, but then it was fine... Actually, it feels like my hearing is even better than before!"
It was truly a wonderful thing. Really, it was astonishing and awe-inspiring, something to be deeply grateful for, but... '...This could lead to more reckless decisions.'
In this company, if a high-grade Darkness was confirmed to involve unavoidable severe physical injuries, low-Class regeneration potions were sometimes issued as standard equipment. And once people get used to that?
Employees would gradually begin to feel indifferent about losing parts of their bodies. It's hard the first time, but after the second, it gets easier. 'Is that really a good thing?'
I glanced to the side with a strange feeling. Baek Saheon was staring somberly into the ornate box containing his regeneration potion... With one eye.
