Oh No! They're Salivating Over Me! novel Chapter 2

Lester was tactful when he told Daphne that she already had a partner.

There were no good people in the underground boxing ring. If Daphne wanted to end the partnership, both parties would have to head to the Marriage Commission. Lester thought about Herkoen's status and figured he should just forget it. He did not want to make Daphne sad.

"Could you please tell me everything that happened to you when you were in the ring? Maybe we can help you find your family," said Lester.

Daphne had no family on this planet.

"I'm sorry. I don't know why I was there. All I can remember is meeting you here," Daphne replied.

Lester felt sorry for her. She probably was forced to be an escort and was so traumatized that she had short-term memory loss.

He immediately had his adjutant arrange for Daphne to have a body checkup.

"Alert! Alert! Please reject the body checkup. Otherwise, they will find out that you're a pure human."

The system alarm suddenly went off, and Daphne was caught off guard. "C-Can I not go for the checkup?"

"People who frequent the underground boxing ring are vicious criminals. Many of them are carrying diseases. The checkup is for the sake of your health as well," replied Lester.

It was clear in this tone that he would not take no for an answer. After that, he told Daphne to get a good rest and left.

Daphne was left alone in the room.

What should she do? What excuse could she use to get out of this checkup?

Daphne was nervous the whole night, so she was extremely tired when she woke up the following day.

Lester came to look for her as promised, and a small robot came along with him.

The robot handed a vitalis tonic to Daphne and said, "Please take this, miss."

Lester saw that she seemed clueless about what it was. He did not have any expression, but he patiently explained to her.

"This is a vitalis tonic. It's used to replenish the nutrients and energy needed by the body. I only have tonics that are used in the military here at my place, so there's not much call for flavors. Just endure it for now. I'll have someone mix a flavor that you like especially for you when we get to Hildi Beastkin Hospital."

Daphne noticed that he mentioned this as his place. "May I know what place this is?"

"This is my home," Lester replied.

Daphne was right.

"We caught too many people in the underground boxing ring. There's no space in the jail anymore, so I brought you home for interrogation. I'll take you to jail once your medical report is out," Lester added.

Fuck! Not only was she transported into a brothel, but she had to be jailed as well. The system did not even tell her in advance! What an unreliable system!

Just as Lester said, the vitalis tonic tasted awful. However, Daphne needed to fill her stomach, so she had no choice but to force herself to drink more. She threw everything up in the end though.

Not only were there a great number of robots working at the manor, but even the car that Daphne rode in was technologically advanced. It looked just like a car on the outside, but it could fly.

The director of Hildi Beastkin Hospital, Bryan Newman, came out to personally welcome them. After he had exchanged some pleasantries with Lester, he ordered his assistant to conduct the checkup for Daphne.

"Please follow me, miss." The assistant was a woman, and her voice was very gentle. That made Daphne feel a little more at ease.

"Do I really have to get a checkup?" Daphne asked. She was still feeling a little worried.

Lester thought she was afraid of the machines because she had never had a body checkup before. On top of that, she was in an unfamiliar environment, and the machines would be controlled by strangers.

He then did his best to make himself appear less intimidating. "Mmhmm. Just go with this assistant to do your checkup. I'll be waiting for you right outside the door. You can just call me if you need anything," he replied.

It seemed like Daphne would have to do this checkup this time. She cheered herself on in her mind and thought about how to explain it after the result came out later.
