"You wouldn't want Kazuya to be thinking about other girls, would you?"
Amamiya Natsuki's voice was deep and hoarse, perfectly playing the role of an unscrupulous doctor.
"…"
After a brief silence.
Headless JK seemed to have made some kind of decision, stood up, and said faintly: "The Doctor is right. I not only want to get Kazuya's body, but I also want to get Kazuya's heart…"
"As long as Kazuya only likes me, I'm willing to do anything."
By the way, you don't even have a head, you can't be considered a person anymore, can you?
"A wise choice." Amamiya Natsuki smiled, having no psychological burden whatsoever in tricking the Headless JK who wanted to kill him, "As long as you use my treatment plan, you will definitely make sure Kazuya only has you in his heart."
Jealousy is the original sin, that's absolutely correct.
It's a good thing he removed the mushroom from Hayasaka Ai's head in time. If he had let the mushroom grow, Hayasaka Ai might have become as terrifying as Headless JK.
"Thank you, Doctor."
Headless JK thanked him gratefully, then grabbed her skirt with both hands and began to pull it down.
"Wait, what are you doing?"
Looking at Headless JK undressing in broad daylight, Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but stop her.
Is this something you can just take off whenever you want?
Even if you dare to take it off, no one would dare to look!
"I don't have money, so I can only pay with my body," Headless JK said, her voice filled with disappointment, "The Doctor told me to be obedient, so he wants to do that kind of thing, right?"
Amamiya Natsuki was expressionless: "I'm sorry, you misunderstood."
She doesn't even have a head, what kind of pervert would be able to do something like that?!
Amamiya Natsuki certainly couldn't.
He could trick the other party without batting an eye, but taking advantage of someone like that, he really couldn't bring himself to do it.
"For Kazuya, I'm willing to do anything," Headless JK clenched her fists, "My body can be played with by the Doctor, but my first kiss, no matter what, I want to give it to Kazuya… Please."
Amamiya Natsuki's eye twitched slightly.
He was just an unscrupulous doctor. If he really let her pay with her body, wouldn't he be a brutal demon?!
Besides, she doesn't even have a head. How could he take her first kiss?
"You're thinking too much," Amamiya Natsuki pressed his right hand to his forehead and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and put your clothes on."
"But…"
"No buts," Amamiya Natsuki threatened fiercely, "Otherwise, I'll take the first kiss you saved for Kazuya."
"I-I'm sorry!"
Facing the threat, Headless JK quickly put her skirt back on, then covered her chest with both hands.
"I have something to do for a moment," Amamiya Natsuki took out his notebook, "Wait for me for a bit."
"Yes, Doctor."
"…"
Taking out the notebook was, of course, for communicating with Komi.
Before entering the dungeon, Amamiya Natsuki naturally had the ability to replicate Komi's abilities. The two of them could communicate across space through the notebook.
Simply put, it was written communication.
"Komi, your current identity and location."
"…"
After the message was sent, there was no reply for a while.
Amamiya Natsuki didn't mind. He put away his notebook, looked at the Headless JK sitting quietly opposite him, and said casually:
"My memory isn't very good lately… What's your name?"
Headless JK was silent for a few seconds, then said faintly: "Chitanda… Aoi."
"Hello, Aoi," Amamiya Natsuki stood up, "For the next period of time, you will follow my orders, and I will, as promised, tell you how to capture Kazuya's heart. So, a pleasant cooperation."
"A pleasant… cooperation."
Amamiya Natsuki stood up and walked towards the door, saying:
"Aoi, let's go for a walk."
"…"
Headless JK seemed a little unaccustomed to the intimate address of Aoi. She distorted her body upon hearing it, but didn't say anything, silently gripping her blood-stained kitchen knife and following behind Amamiya Natsuki.
Amamiya Natsuki stepped to the door, exhaled lightly, and pulled the door open. A dark, eerie corridor appeared before him.
The hallway also had lights, but they were dim and yellow, making it quite eerie.
And in the hallway, it was surprisingly lively, with many patients walking around.
Among these patients, some still maintained human form, but their skin was pale, their movements slow, and their eyes dull. Other patients were similar to Headless JK.
For example, completely charred patients emitting a faint burnt smell, creatures with crimson eyes and sharp fangs in their mouths, similar to Sanguine, and zombies wrapped in bandages, and so on.
Besides patients, there were, of course, medical staff.
"Doctor Sato, why are you out?"
A Nurse wearing a Nurse uniform, holding an oversized syringe, and with only two dark, hollow eye sockets on her face, walked over and asked with a puzzled tone.
"It's working hours now. Doctor Sato, please do not leave your post without authorization. The director will be angry."
Facing the vengeful spirit Nurse's gaze from her hollow eye sockets, Amamiya Natsuki said without changing his expression:
"Aoi asked me for help. As a Doctor, I can't go against a patient's request, can I?"
The blind Nurse hesitated: "If you have a request, you can tell me. I can also help."
Headless JK said faintly: "You can't."
"Alright then," the blind Nurse silently moved aside, "Doctor Sato, please return as soon as you're done with your business."
"Understood."
"…"
Amamiya Natsuki nodded and walked through the hallway, silently gathering information as he went.
"Psychiatry department… I'm on the third floor."
"The building layout is exactly the same as the actual Aoyama Hospital."
Passing by other departments, some doors were open, and consultations were in progress inside.
Amamiya Natsuki tried going downstairs and was not stopped at all, easily walking down. His range of movement was far greater than in the previous Hospital dungeon.
Walking along, there were a considerable number of patients, Doctors, Nurses, security guards, cleaners…
Two fists are no match for four. Once his player identity is exposed, he will definitely be in trouble.
"Tsk, I need to find a way to let Kaguya and the others recognize my identity at a glance without removing my disguise…"
Amamiya Natsuki thought while taking out his notebook to check if Komi had replied.
As his gaze fell on the notebook, Amamiya Natsuki immediately raised his eyebrows.
"Natsuki-kun, my identity is a cleaner. I'm currently on the fourth floor of the Hospital Ward, in the restroom at the end of the hallway… A monster is blocking me and won't let me out."
"Wait for me," Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow, "No matter what, do not expose your player identity."
"Follow me."
Amamiya Natsuki put away his notebook, turned to Headless JK and instructed him, then ran towards the Hospital Ward.
He was naturally very familiar with where the Hospital Ward was, having been there many times. He had also explored it during yesterday evening's Midnight Theater.
Headless JK didn't speak, silently following him.
A moment later.
Hospital Ward.
With his Doctor identity, Amamiya Natsuki passed through unimpeded and quickly arrived at the restroom at the end of the fourth-floor corridor.
Everything in the game came with an inherent eerie effect, and places like restrooms doubled that eerie effect.
The dark, deathly silent air, flickering dim yellow lights, and dripping water sounds, an ominous and inauspicious aura assailed him. If it were an ordinary player, they would inevitably hesitate and stop in their tracks.
However, Amamiya Natsuki was not afraid at all and walked straight in.
He wasn't afraid of being alone, let alone having a Headless JK behind him who would obey any command except for her first kiss.
While wandering earlier, Amamiya Natsuki noticed that other "patients" seemed to be very afraid of Headless JK and would instinctively keep their distance and avoid her.
"Let's continue playing hide-and-seek," an eerie laugh drifted unsteadily in the air, "If I catch you again, the punishment will be upgraded… Hehehehe."
Amamiya Natsuki looked around but couldn't find where the talking ghost was, so he simply said directly:
"I say… this is the women's restroom, right?"
"You, a man, coming to the women's restroom to play games, isn't that inappropriate?"
"…"
After a brief silence, a fierce voice followed:
"Doctor, it's none of your business. Don't disturb my game, or I'll kill you."
Tsk, since reasoning doesn't work, then only fists can speak.Amamiya Natsuki shrugged, took half a step back, opened the door, and turned his head to say, "It's decided, you're up, Aoi!"
"…"
The Headless JK, gripping a blood-stained cleaver, stepped into the restroom.
Amamiya Natsuki had no intention of fighting alongside the Headless JK; he stood by the doorway, observing.
In Pokémon, when a Pokémon enters battle, the trainer, of course, cheers them on from behind.
Actually, the Headless JK didn't need his help at all. Her method was simple and brutal: she started from the first cubicle and swept through them all.
Bang, bang, bang.
When she reached the sixth cubicle, a three- or four-year-old child ghost, bruised all over, leaped out and viciously pounced on the Headless JK.
Aoi's face didn't change… she didn't have a head for it to change anyway. She raised the cleaver in her hand and swung it.
The battle ended quickly.
The little ghost was no match at all and was soon caught by the Headless JK, crying loudly.
"Take it out," Amamiya Natsuki instructed.
"Yes, Doctor."
The Headless JK grabbed the little ghost and stepped out of the restroom.
Amamiya Natsuki's gaze shifted slightly, looking at the toilet cubicle opened by the Headless JK. In the fourth cubicle, a woman was clearly hiding, wearing a cleaner's uniform and a hat, completely soaked, and tearfully huddled in the cubicle.
"You stand guard outside," Amamiya Natsuki continued. "Don't come in without my order."
"…"
Amamiya Natsuki smiled and walked towards the cubicle.
That trembling female cleaner could only be Komi, no one else.
(N-no, don't come over!)
Watching the unscrupulous doctor approach with a sinister smile, Komi grew even more nervous, hugging her arms and anxiously praying for the unscrupulous doctor to leave quickly.
But it was useless.
The never-before-seen unscrupulous doctor not only walked over but also casually closed the cubicle door, then reached for his pants…
The little white rabbit girl panicked completely, nervously closed her eyes, and instinctively called out the name of the person she most longed for.
"Na-Natsuki-kun… save…"
A familiar voice suddenly reached her ears: "You recognized me?"
"Eh?"
Komi's eyelashes trembled slightly at the sound. She opened her eyes and saw a blurry fluctuation on the unfamiliar doctor in front of her, which then transformed into the familiar appearance of the young man.
Players can freely choose whether to remove their disguise, but they must be careful. If a human player's identity is exposed in front of a vengeful spirit, the consequences will definitely be dire.
Looking at the boy in front of her, Komi bit her lower lip in distress, her eyes quickly filling with a hazy mist. She couldn't help but reach out to grab Amamiya Natsuki's sleeve.
Slap.
Amamiya Natsuki slapped away the little white rabbit's outstretched right hand.
Komi: "???"
"You should remove your disguise first," Amamiya Natsuki complained. "Your current appearance looks a bit scary."
The role Komi was playing was a cleaner: her face was pale, her eyes dull. Overall, she looked like a numb, gloomy female worker, yet she showed a pitiful, weak, and helpless expression, which wasn't cute at all; it just made people want to push her away.
There was no other way; there were hardly any normal people in the entire Hospital.
The girl responded with a distressed hum, removed her disguise, and the light on her body blurred and distorted slightly, quickly revealing her true appearance—it was Komi.
"You look much cuter now." Amamiya Natsuki reached out and pulled Komi up, whispering, "What's with the water on you?"
She had been in such a hurry to run over just now that she hadn't had time to ask about the specifics.
"I…"
Komi moved her pink lips, wanting to take out her notebook, but her hands and clothes were soaking wet, so she had to give up. She hugged herself and whispered, "It was that vengeful spirit just now; it insisted on playing hide-and-seek… After I was found, it poured water down from above."
"That's good," Amamiya Natsuki comforted. "It was just water."
It was a good thing it was just water. If it had been something else with lethal power, Amamiya Natsuki wouldn't have dared to come in.
"Komi, what's your task?"
Amamiya Natsuki asked in a low voice.
"It's cleaning…"
Ever since the pride mushroom grew, Komi seemed to have gained some courage. At least she dared to speak in front of Amamiya Natsuki, though her voice was still very soft, making it hard to hear clearly without listening carefully.
As a cleaner, her primary duty was naturally to clean.
Moreover, the task content was very simple: she only needed to be responsible for cleaning the restrooms on the upper and lower floors of the Hospital Ward for three days to complete the task.
After entering the instance, Komi had just finished reading the instance task when she was driven out by the evil spirit supervisor and diligently began cleaning.
There were also class tasks for cleaning restrooms in school, which Komi often participated in and didn't mind. It wasn't until she came in that she realized the danger wasn't about how to clean thoroughly, but rather from the visitors to the restroom.
"Who was that… girl just now?"
Komi was also curious.
"A Headless JK, my number one shield just recruited… no, my number one Pokémon," Amamiya Natsuki whispered his identity and task, then said, "You should change your clothes first to avoid catching a cold, just in case."
Komi quickly nodded, but didn't move. She covered her chest with her hands, her pretty face flushed, and looked at Amamiya Natsuki.
"I'll go out first."
Amamiya Natsuki turned and walked out of the cubicle.
The instance had just begun; it was not the time to bully Komi. He had to prioritize what was important.
"Th-that…"
Komi stammered, wanting to speak but hesitating.
"Don't worry," Amamiya Natsuki whispered. "I'll be right outside, not far away."
"…"
