Washuu examined the medical diagnostic screens very carefully before commenting, "Well, everything looks to be okay, except you have a black hole attached to your hand. Prayer beads as a magical focus to seal the event horizon, bound to your life force. That's… very unique."
The young man looked very out of place in Washuu's lab, with his dark blue robes appearing as if they had come straight from the Sengoku era. Screens and lights and unfamiliar devices were everywhere, but the teenage-looking doctor was cute, so maybe in a couple years? He shook off the thought, and got back to business, "So, what do you think, Washuu-chan?"
"I think that this is the single dumbest weapon design I've seen in the last million years. I mean seriously, because your body is in contact with the event horizon, you can even be poisoned through it. I'd go with fusion implants instead, which are somehow still safer than this.
"No," Miroku clarified, "How long do I have to live?"
"Look, why don't we just cut this hand off and get you a new one? I have a new prosthetic design I want to try, and you look like you'd make a very healthy guinea pig."
"I can't just cut it off! The curse would devour my whole body."
"Oh right, the magic is drawn directly from your body to maintain the seal. So we just provide an external source of ki." She raised a finger to her cheek in thought, before bragging, "Or even easier, just use a gravitational inversion generator. Ha! I'm so brilliant sometimes that I surprise myself!"
