"The patient inside is Miss Hachishakusama. She's eight feet tall and very strong. She especially likes to attack children, and sometimes adults are also her targets."
The Nurse's eyes were filled with admiration. While looking at Amamiya Natsuki, she explained, "Doctor, be careful. Once caught, you'll be squeezed..."
"Stop!"
Amamiya Natsuki quickly reached out and called a halt.
Whether it's the method for making sugarcane juice or anything else, those are absolutely forbidden words that should never be spoken from your mouth; quickly swallow them back down.
"It really is the urban idol Miss Hachishakusama."
Amamiya Natsuki stood outside the door, curiously observing the giant Madame inside.
He had already seen Sadako, the little girl Hanako, and The Slit-Mouthed Woman, so seeing another Miss Hachishakusama was actually quite normal and nothing to be surprised about.
It was just a pity that they weren't in the same instance; otherwise, he could gather them all to form the strongest urban legend idol group, which would definitely be super popular.
Miss Hachishakusama seemed a bit withdrawn, sitting on the sofa without moving, not even turning around to look back.
Amamiya Natsuki thought for a moment, then raised his right hand and gently tapped on the glass window with a bent finger.
Thump thump thump.
Hearing the knocking, Miss Hachishakusama in the ward finally turned around. She had to admit, her figure was superb, and her face was exceptionally delicate and charming.
"Stare—"
Miss Hachishakusama's eyes narrowed, her gaze falling on Amamiya Natsuki, or more precisely, on the mushroom on Amamiya Natsuki's head. Her face immediately showed an expression of pleasant surprise, and she suddenly stood up, lunging towards the door.
"Doctor, be careful."
The Nurse nervously stood in front of Amamiya Natsuki.
"It's fine."
Amamiya Natsuki's gaze fell on Miss Hachishakusama, and he slightly raised an eyebrow.
This surprised and excited expression... was exactly like a pet that had accidentally gotten lost and finally waited for its owner to come find it.
Confirmed.
He had found another lone young girl.
"I am..."
Miss Hachishakusama's expression was agitated, wanting to introduce herself.
"Shh."
Amamiya Natsuki raised a finger, placed it to his lips, and made a shushing gesture.
"Mm-hmm."
Miss Hachishakusama in the ward quickly nodded, covering her mouth tightly with both hands, then bent over, her eyes sparkling as she looked out.
"What's wrong with Hachishakusama?"
The Nurse's face showed a hint of confusion.
"She's probably very excited," Amamiya Natsuki said, talking nonsense with a straight face. "After all, I used to be Miss Hachishakusama's attending physician."
"Doctor, you're amazing."
With her favorability maxed out, even if Amamiya Natsuki said he could wash his hair while standing on his head, the Nurse wouldn't doubt him.
Amamiya Natsuki turned and said:
"Miss Sasaki, please open the door. I need to go in and examine Miss Hachishakusama."
"No, it's too dangerous!" The Nurse quickly shook her head. "The Doctor will be squeezed [beep—] by Miss Hachishakusama."
With Miss Hachishakusama's height and weight, isn't it more likely he'd be crushed to death?
Amamiya Natsuki said gently:
"Don't worry, Miss Hachishakusama won't hurt me."
"No, absolutely not." The Nurse grabbed Amamiya Natsuki's wrist, shaking her head firmly. "Miss Hachishakusama looks quiet, but she's actually very violent and has extremely strong self-esteem. Last time, a doctor went in for an examination and was accidentally caught by Miss Hachishakusama. By the time we found him, he had already been squeezed into sugarcane Slag."
Are you sure that doctor was accidentally caught, and not willingly offered himself up?
Given Miss Hachishakusama's size and appearance, there must be many who couldn't resist her.
Amamiya Natsuki pressed his fingers to his temples in frustration.
The title skill also had its downsides; the other party wouldn't act like a doll and obey all his commands—for example, if he wanted to commit suicide, the Nurse definitely wouldn't hand him a knife, but would instead snatch it away and throw it far aside.
In the Nurse's view, going into the ward alone would result in being squeezed into sugarcane Slag, so she absolutely wouldn't let him in.
Amamiya Natsuki pondered for a few seconds, then said:
"If I can prove that Miss Hachishakusama is very obedient to me, and is actually my pet, then can I go in?"
"Eh?"
The Nurse was startled, then quickly shook her head. "That's impossible, isn't it? Miss Hachishakusama always smiles, but she's actually violent and has extremely strong self-esteem. She definitely wouldn't be the Doctor's pet."
"I'll prove it to you right now." Amamiya Natsuki turned his head to look at Miss Hachishakusama in the ward, who was looking over eagerly, and slightly raised his voice, "Miss Hachishakusama, can you hear me?"
"If you can hear me, nod three times."
...I can hear you.
Under the Nurse's surprised gaze, Miss Hachishakusama in the ward quickly nodded three times.
"Very good." Amamiya Natsuki then said, "I was startled by the cat-faced old woman just now and urgently need psychological treatment... Make two cat sounds, the cute kind."
The Nurse couldn't help but say, "Miss Hachishakusama would definitely not agree to such an excessive request..."
"Meow~"
A soft cat sound suddenly rang out.
"Eh eh eh?!"
The Nurse looked at Miss Hachishakusama in the ward in shock.
She actually mimicked a cat's meow?
Where was the Miss Hachishakusama who always had a dangerous smile on her face and looked at others as if they were ingredients?
Amamiya Natsuki then commanded:
"Raise your hands to your face and make two more dog sounds."
"Stare—"
Miss Hachishakusama's eyes widened, and she glared fiercely through the glass.
"Doctor, be careful."
The Nurse nervously stepped forward, trying to shield Amamiya Natsuki with her body.
"It's fine, don't worry." Amamiya Natsuki waved his hand and looked at Miss Hachishakusama in the ward. "Only if you bark like a dog will Miss Sasaki let me in to examine you. What do you say?"
...
Miss Hachishakusama reluctantly turned her head away.
"Woof."
"Woof woof woof."
She actually did it?
The Nurse was dumbfounded, beginning to doubt her life. The Miss Hachishakusama she knew would never be so obedient.
Could it really be Doctor Sato's pet?
"See?" Amamiya Natsuki turned to the Nurse. "Whatever I tell her to do, she does, so there's no need to worry about my safety."
"But, but..."
The Nurse was still a bit hesitant.
Amamiya Natsuki raised his right hand and gently placed it on the Nurse's head, saying softly:
"This is the request of my life."
...
Pink hearts flashed in the Nurse's eyes, and she finally agreed, taking out the key to open the door, and warning with concern:
"I'll be guarding the door. If the Doctor encounters danger, you must call me immediately."
"I understand." Amamiya Natsuki nodded slightly. "I'm just examining Miss Hachishakusama; I'll be out soon."
He entered the ward.
"The mushroom on your head..."
Miss Hachishakusama was about to speak, full of excitement.
"Shh—"
Amamiya Natsuki made another silencing gesture, pointed backward, then took out his notebook and said casually:
"It's just a routine examination, Miss Hachishakusama, please don't get excited."
Miss Hachishakusama let out a breath, calming herself down: "Doctor, let's go over there to talk."
"Okay."
Amamiya Natsuki's gaze involuntarily followed something; there was no helping it, she was truly too big.
This Miss Hachishakusama couldn't even stand completely straight in the ward; she had to bend her waist slightly.
Miss Hachishakusama was already a full-figured type, and when she maintained a bent-waist posture, it was no longer a Newton's cradle, but Mars colliding with Earth.
Yet, Miss Hachishakusama's dress was a loose type, and Amamiya Natsuki only glanced at it before making a judgment:
He would die.
He would truly be suffocated to death.
Miss Hachishakusama covered her chest, glared at him bashfully, and turned to walk towards the corner.
Amamiya Natsuki followed behind, saying aloud:
"Miss Hachishakusama, how have you been resting recently?"
"Not well."
"No wonder people say you have a bad temper."
"You're the one with the bad temper."
...
The two arrived in the corner.
Miss Hachishakusama sat down first, and after confirming they wouldn't be overheard, she lowered her voice and said quietly, full of grievance:
"Stupid Natsuki, why did it take you so long to come?"
Amamiya Natsuki said without changing his expression:
"You've got the wrong person, it's not me."
"Still saying it's not you." Miss Hachishakusama clenched her pink fists, huffing with anger. "There are so many ways to confirm identity; besides you, no one else would make me bark like a dog."
Dogs are humanity's best friends, so what if I barked like a dog?
Ninety-nine percent of people in the world have barked like a dog; it's not embarrassing at all, is it?
Amamiya Natsuki shrugged: "It's not like I told you to crawl like a dog..."
"What did you say?!"
Miss Hachishakusama suddenly raised her voice, clenching her pink fists, as if to strike.
"Stop." Amamiya Natsuki held out his hand, calling for a halt. "If you hit me with one punch, I might die."
"It's best if you die." Miss Hachishakusama snorted lightly, then suddenly blinked, crossing her arms over her chest and saying, "Do you know who I am?"
"It's a bit hard to judge..." Amamiya Natsuki propped up his chin. "What if I answer incorrectly?"
"Then I'll kick you."
"What's the reward for guessing correctly?"
"No reward."
Amamiya Natsuki's tone was faint: "I worked so hard to come find you, finally found you, and there's a punishment for being wrong, but no reward for being right... So cold, my heart has already grown cold."
"Hmph."
Miss Hachishakusama let out a soft snort, also feeling a bit bad, and after hesitating for a moment, she whispered: "...What reward do you want?"
...
Amamiya Natsuki's gaze shifted downwards, landing on Miss Hachishakusama's chest.
"Where are you looking?!"
Miss Hachishakusama quickly covered her chest, unable to help but shout in embarrassment, "How could I possibly give you that kind of reward!"
"There's an option to remove the disguise on the character panel, allowing your true appearance to be revealed... Don't remove it now, don't expose your identity." Amamiya Natsuki whispered, "Don't worry, I won't claim the reward in the Doctor's image."
"I won't give you a reward even with my true appearance!"
"I'll guess then..." Amamiya Natsuki propped his chin with his right hand, pondered for two seconds, and then smiled, "Is it the world's cutest Juju?"
Currently, only Marin, Chika, and Juju haven't been found. Given Marin and Chika's personalities, meowing wouldn't be embarrassing at all; only Juju is the most thin-skinned.
Miss Hachishakusama turned her face away and let out a soft snort: "You guessed wrong."
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"Then is it the world's least cute Juju?"
"...Idiot!"
Miss Hachishakusama turned her head to glare at him, unable to help but retort, "You must have recognized me a long time ago, right?"
Amamiya Natsuki shrugged, not denying it: "After all, you're my favorite Juju; it would be strange if I didn't recognize you."
"Pfft!"
Juju lightly spat, a blush rising on her face.
You're clearly a harem scumbag, yet you say 'my favorite'; only an idiot would believe your nonsense.
"Let's talk about business first; we'll discuss the reward later." Amamiya Natsuki lowered his voice. "What's your mission?"
Juju let out a light breath, helplessly tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, and whispered:
"After entering the instance, as soon as I opened my eyes, I became Miss Hachishakusama. The main mission is to escape the Hospital... The door simply won't open, and Nurses patrol the hallway from time to time, so I have no idea how to escape."
Juju didn't know whether to call herself lucky or unlucky; she wasn't with a bunch of random patients, but by herself, trying to escape a heavily guarded ward was incredibly difficult.
Reality wasn't a movie, and she didn't have special agent skills. She could only wait anxiously in the ward, feeling like every day was a year. Now that Amamiya Natsuki had appeared, she finally felt relieved.
"It is indeed quite difficult." Amamiya Natsuki said softly, "This is the Heavy Care Area. The patients in the ward next to you are more dangerous than the last. The only way I could get in was by using a title skill, through the Nurse's back door."
"Then what do we do?" Juju immediately became nervous. "Can't we get out?"
"We really can't get out right now." Amamiya Natsuki spoke truthfully, "My current identity is just an ordinary Doctor. It's already very difficult for me to see you; I can't take you out."
Knock knock knock.
A knock sounded at the door.
Amamiya Natsuki turned his head, waved to the Nurse outside the door, and then whispered:
"You'll have to stay in the ward a bit longer. I'll come back for you once I'm ready."
"Then come back soon." Juju pitifully agreed. "Have you found Shoko?"
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"The first person I found was Komi."
"What about the others?"
"Besides you, Marin, and Chika, everyone else has been found."
Juju: "..."
So she was the only one left behind; no wonder he was so certain of her identity.
Time was pressing.
The things that happened after they separated couldn't be explained in a short time, so Amamiya Natsuki could only get up and walk out, saying aloud:
"Today's investigation ends here. Thank you, Miss Hachishakusama, for your cooperation."
Then he lowered his voice: "...Wait for me obediently."
Juju crossed her arms over her chest: "Stop nagging, hurry up and go... You hurry and come."
"Don't forget my reward."
"Pfft."
...
Watching Amamiya Natsuki walk out of the ward, Juju let out a sigh of relief, pressed down on the white top hat on her head, and felt her heart settle, no longer anxious or uneasy.
She really couldn't get out; it was fine to wait for someone else to rescue her, right?
The mission didn't require her to break out personally.
"Also..."
Juju covered her chest, her face suddenly flushing.
Should she give him a reward?
It wasn't her own body anyway, so giving a reward wouldn't matter, right?
