Fortunately, it didn’t lead to a hellish situation where everyone sat in the hospital room all day and sat in protest until I came to my senses.
Lord Indra, who is in charge of supervising the medical unit, is a middle-aged woman with a bossy personality.
He is a kind-hearted person who always puts the health of his students first.
You can tell how strong that feeling is just by looking at what he did as soon as he heard a loud noise in my hospital room.
“What are you all doing in the hospital room of this guy who needs to be stabilized? “Get out!”
It would be a bold sentence to say to a group that included Princess Tristan and a saint.
“…But, Lord Indra. “Now we have an important decision to make-”
However, rather than making a special accusation, Elnor seems to respond in a polite tone.
Unlike general professors, the people in charge of a specific facility are people with achievements and authority comparable to that of a dean. Inside the academy, not even the princess can speak carelessly.
That’s why words like this pop out.
“You have already seen enough, Princess Tristan. “If I say one more word, everyone here will be banned from entering?”
“…”
“If you’re going to come, come back tomorrow. “Visiting hours are over, so disperse quickly!”
With such threats, everyone was eventually kicked out of the hospital room with dissatisfied expressions on their faces.
Lord Indra is a goddess.
I will not receive any rebuttal.
“…I lived.”
As I watched the people leaving the hospital room with disapproving looks, following my instructions, those words came out naturally.
[Then what about taking this opportunity to get discharged quickly without choosing a caregiver?]
“…that won’t work.”
There is no way Lord Indra would see that.
Because I left a threat telling him to rest unconditionally for at least two days.
He is a person who has the guts to chase away even Princess Tristan. There’s no way she’d do it just because I asked.
[Then what are you going to do? The other side will be in an uproar, right?]
“…”
That’s right.
It is not strange if the other side is distorted by jealousy and accumulates corruption points.
The ‘caregiving’ situation itself involves staying in close contact with the subject for a long period of time.
So, in the first place.
“… Aside from that, choosing a caregiver is a problem in itself.”
[huh?]
“No matter who becomes my caregiver, I will have crossed the river of no return.”
Just look at what Elnor tried to do right now.
If the saint had not come, that is.
It must have been eaten right away.
“Well, since the development of the seal, it feels like something has become more dangerous?”
It’s good that the restrictions on the Fallen Seal have been lifted and the energy of all demons can be contained there.
In doing so, I feel like I’ve been given other characteristics that I didn’t want.
Strangely enough, I feel like demons and vessels lose control more easily when they see me than before.
[What are you talking about?]
“So, in the past, it would have ended with them just wanting to monopolize me… But now, just by being in front of me, I have a strong feeling of something being ‘aggressive’?”
[…]
Just look at Elnor right now.
I’ve felt a bit too clingy in the past, but it’s definitely a strange situation for him to do this to me when he’s so attached to me with a lot of ‘guilt’ and all.
When you’re stuck with dishes, the possibility of something… ‘dangerous’ happening is much higher than before.
[…Then is it in that context that that young lady named Yuria did such a thing?]
Caliban, who heard me, asked such a question.
You mean something like that?
[Why, that young lady is not the kind of person who would say something like that out of her own mouth. He says it feels good to be hit, and he says you should put his leash on him and take him for a walk.]
“…That’s highly likely, right?”
[…Then you’re in big trouble.]
“…I agree.”
Honestly, I wonder if there could be a bigger problem here.
I’m saying that the masochism that Yuria showed before could have just been the beginning.
It means that a terrible future where all kinds of demons’ fetishes are revealed one by one may not be far away.
In that sense.
“If I asked those guys to stay with me for a day, would there be one who wouldn’t cause an accident?”
I’d rather leave the fish to the cat.
Caliban thought about my words for a moment and then answered with an air of agreement.
[There is no one I can trust.]
“…”
Sadly, yes.
Yuria, Elnor, Seras, I can’t trust anyone.
“But the good news is that there are options.”
[What choice?]
“At least there is one safe one.”
There is just one guy.
The only human being free from this problem.
●
next day.
There was silence in the hospital room, as if walking on thin ice.
To be precise, everyone seems very dissatisfied with the ‘caregiver’ I chose.
“…Can I do it like this?”
In a cold voice, Elnor held out the patient’s utensils she had cleaned nearby.
To this, Feinol Lifek smiled and answered.
“No, Princess Tristan. “I think it would be better if I just did it myself.”
“What parts are lacking?”
“Here, here, and here aren’t cleaned properly. “We can’t give patients these unhygienic utensils.”
“…”
“Well, at this rate, we won’t be able to do the ‘replacement of caregivers’ that you previously requested. “My skills are too immature.”
Elnor was defeated in the first round.
Considering his status in the first place, it’s natural that he wouldn’t have even had the opportunity to do such trivial tasks.
“Ah, it’s time to clean up.”
When Feinol stood up while saying that, Yuria and Lucien stopped him.
“We already did that.”
On this side, Lucien has lived a strict and ascetic life typical of religious people, and Yuria has lived a wild life for a long time, so she is more familiar with this type of behavior than Elnor.
but.
“It’s a mess.”
After saying that, Feynol picked up a nearby cleaning tool and quickly swept around the area.
It’s magically fast. As soon as the work is finished, it is a bonus that the surroundings sparkle to the point where it is dazzling compared to what the saintly sisters have done.
“I guess I have to do this to be able to say I cleaned it, right?”
“…”
“…”
Yuria and Lucien looked at the scene blankly.
It seems like he himself doesn’t understand whether this was really done by the same person.
Feinol, who defeated three people in an instant, soon turned his head with a relaxed expression.
This was Seras, who was looking at this scene with blank eyes.
“Do you also want to request a replacement caregiver? “Then you must have something better than me.”
“…What on earth do I do with nursing?”
“…”
You just get out.
It’s been revealed a few times in the game settings, but he really has the temperament of an idiot who can’t do anything except assassinate.
“Okay, everyone, please leave. “I think I’m the only one who can provide proper care.”
“No, but…!”
“We are the ones who can best take care of Mr. Dowd…!”
The guy who said that then immediately drove the other guys who were complaining out of the hospital room.
The other guys want to vent their dissatisfaction somehow, but the difference in performance just shown is so severe that they can’t express their opinions properly.
“…Thank you for your effort.”
“Why do you have this much?”
The guy who defeated all the other dishes in an instant under my admiration answered with a grin.
‘…This guy has no choice but to be good at things like this.’
Feinol’s original job was to take care of the weak by working in nursing homes and orphanages.
Even though she is called a professional nurse, she has a background that is not strange.
And, above all.
This guy is completely unaffected by my ‘Fatal Attraction’ skill.
Like other dishes, I think the likelihood of something happening to me is very low.
While I was thinking about that background, a system window appeared before my eyes.
< System Message >
[You chose ‘Painol’ as your caregiver. ]
[Determining the status of the target…]
[‘Favorability’ is not yet open. ]
[An event that can unlock the target’s favorability will occur soon! ]
< System Message >
[The emotional changes of those who were not selected are strongly observed! ]
[It is likely to play a role in the upcoming main quest! ]
“…”
Seeing such a message makes me break into a cold sweat.
Let’s think about the aftermath later.
Anyway, no matter who I chose, it was certain that my limbs would disintegrate. Rather than dying right now, it’s better to throw the crisis into the future…!
“…Still, it’s surprising.”
In the quiet hospital room, Feynol said this and pulled a chair in front of me and sat down.
“It’s not common for people to even know that I did something like that during my ‘human’ days. “How on earth do you know?”
[…sure, it’s not funny.]
Caliban muttered those words in a low voice.
[The guy who was part of the Heresy Inquisition in the Devil’s Vessel used to do volunteer work. It’s a comedy that’s worse than a serial killer making a donation.]
“…”
He smiled bitterly at Caliban’s sharp voice.
Of course, if you just look at what this guy has done, it’s not strange to get this kind of evaluation.
‘…I told you, Caliban.’
Like I kept telling this guy.
‘Painol is a poor bastard.’
This guy is, so to speak, similar to Balcasus.
Although he appears as the final boss of the chapter in the scenario, he should not have met such an end.
Rather than that.
A guy who should have been treated a little better.
“…and I believe that anyone with that much information will definitely remember what I said.”
The guy clenched his chin and said that.
“Time keeps marching on, Dowd Campbell.”
The expression on the face of the guy who said that was so lifeless that no emotion was felt.
It feels like a mannequin or a doll.
“You probably haven’t forgotten that I gave you a one-month time limit. If I don’t ‘die’ in it… I don’t know what will happen.”
“…I know.”
okay. I remember.
That fact played a big part in why I collapsed from overwork in the first place.
I sigh and listen to what he says.
“However, I would like to correct one thing.”
“…yes?”
To the guy who tilted his head in confusion, I spoke with a sigh.
“Painol Lifek.”
At least.
That’s it.
I need to clearly tell this guy what I don’t like about it.
“I don’t want you to die.”
They keep saying I’m going to die, I’m going to die.
I don’t like that very much.
“…yes?”
The guy’s eyes widened.
Of course, I know what your intention is when you say that.
“There is a red devil inside your body, and it has forcibly brought you back to life, and it is trying to come out to the material world with you as a host soon. You feel that the time limit is one month, so I asked you to kill it within that time. Yes?”
“…”
The guy opened his mouth and didn’t say anything.
I’m sure he didn’t know that I would be so knowledgeable about his situation.
However, soon the guy slowly closed his eyes and pushed them up.
“…If you know that, wouldn’t the story be easier? “If I don’t die, disaster will soon come to the material world.”
Within.
A self-mocking voice followed.
“…You could say that we are removing the seeds of disaster, Dowd Campbell. There’s no need to feel guilty-”
“no.”
so.
There is a fact that needs to be made clear to this guy.
“It’s about awakening your emotions, but that’s not the purpose.”
I’m doing this guy’s favor.
“I will make you happy, Paynoll.”
This is to give this guy a happy ending.
“You don’t have the right to veto.”
“…”
The guy’s eyes immediately shook greatly after hearing what I said.
