99. Report
“Follow me. Absolutely stable.”
“Absolute stability.”
“I’m more anxious because I’m following along so obediently. Scarlett, should we just delay discharge a little longer?”
I woke up after a deep sleep,
He was escorted to an outlying hospital.
I woke up in that hospital room after I fell while holding Velen the other day. I never thought I would come here again.
The health instructor who issued me a discharge permit at that time. According to Scarlett’s testimony, she almost fell behind her while she was examining my condition.
They ran wild asking why they came now.
Just like that, I lay quietly for two days without any appeasement or excuse being accepted.
Until just before the last examination before discharge, the two women looking at me were extremely suspicious.
“Scarlett is not my guardian.”
“Look at me. From the way you’re talking, it looks like you’ll be up all night making textbooks or working on assignments when you get discharged today?”
“How can I not change that personality?”
“When that happens, I take care of that first. It’s an incurable disease.”
Still, the instructor sighed and led me to the examination room, and Scarlett followed behind her.
I thought she would say something like that, but she followed me all the way into the examination room.
“Scarlett, please leave for a moment.”
“I don’t like it.”
“It’s my body, and if there’s any problem left, I’ll consult the doctor in front of me. There’s nothing for you to do.”
It was nice to get closer to her after the last alley event, but she was a little annoying.
“You’re not hiding anything, right? Then, I can listen in on it too, right?”
I eventually had no choice but to bring up the real reason.
“You don’t want anyone to see you without your top on, don’t you?”
“Ugh.”
I was a little embarrassed,
She is looking at the health instructor.
“…That’s right. They take off their clothes during the examination.”
“…….”
I thought it would go back the same way, but
It was Scarlett who turned around and came back.
“I don’t mind. Yeah.”
“Scarlett. Please take it in moderation.”
After lowering my voice a little,
Her grunts could have driven her away.
The examination has begun.
“No, that’s really ridiculous…”
“Is there a problem?”
“Aren’t you a monster? What type of recovery is this?”
“……”
I took it as a compliment.
I guess there is no problem with my body anymore.
After confirming that my body was 100% fine, the instructor’s voice became even more soothing.
“I’m a research director, really. Can I report to the academic society?”
“No.”
I am now able to tell jokes occasionally.
Soon it was my turn to show my back, so I opened my patient gown and turned my back.
However, for some reason, she does not continue examining her and remains silent for a moment.
Soon the words came back.
“Professor Emeritus Ivan. This is something I should have said during my last examination, but I will say it now.”
“Yes.”
“Is it because of the scar on your back that you bit your student?”
This was the first time I had heard of it.
Ivan has a scar on his back?
…Now that we know that Ivan’s narrative is completely different from that in the game.
It’s not that surprising.
No matter what, there must be a story.
“I can hide it… With magic.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Then I am grateful.
I have no intention of showing my bare body to heroines in the future, but I don’t know what’s going on in the world.
In particular, I think Paula will react very dramatically. Wouldn’t I, swept away by the waves of worry, slowly wither away?
“Please.”
“…Yes.”
Hwaak-
Warmth felt from behind.
Soon, she returned her patient gown.
“It doesn’t erase the scars. It just hides them, and please be careful as this is a spell that will be removed if you get hurt or receive a strong shock.”
“I understand.”
“Other than that, there’s nothing special about it. Even looking at it again, I just think it’s amazing…”
She filled out her discharge certificate with light movements, and as she went down, her hand stopped.
“By any chance… Don’t you say your memories come and go these days?”
“Why are you asking that?”
“I need to hear the answer first.”
I don’t know what you’re thinking, but
How can a patient know the mind of a doctor?
Just to guess,
It seemed like he suspected it was a chronic disease with similar symptoms.
It is true that I became a person who could forget the names of my students, but the reason was not because of a chronic illness.
I answered.
“No.”
“…Is that true as expected?”
Hand movements become lighter again.
She soon finished filling out her discharge certificate and handed it to me.
It was then.
Snap!
A door that opens without knocking.
I turned around to see if it was Scarlett, but the hair color that immediately caught my eye.
It was white.

“Instructor! Are you okay?!”
Adela Cathy.
After living so hectic, it felt like we were reunited after such a long time.
She came in frantically,
When she sees me, she stops short.
“Uh… Well, I guess you’re okay. Yes.”
I gave advice while adjusting my patient’s clothes.
“This is the importance of knocking, Adela. I almost saw your bare skin.”
“Mae, bare skin?! What are you doing here!”
“It’s a medical examination.”
“Oh, what else can I say…”
For some reason, she is sweeping her heart,
Suddenly her eyes widened.
He seemed like someone who had missed something very basic and now realized it.
“… Did you take off her top at all?”
“About half of the time, yes.”
“Then, I guess you could see the back too?”
“Yes, but why are you curious about that?”
I asked with pure curiosity,
Instead of answering, the tearful expression returned.
“Why didn’t you call me!”
“Are you crazy?”
After going down to the main house, he became a little more strange. Is this a variable? Isn’t that it again?
“…Phew.”
As I was wondering what to do with him,
The instructor’s laughter was heard from behind.
“Ivan, you’ve really changed a lot.”
“…Is that so?”
“It would be better if it was like this from the beginning.”
She patted me on the back and spoke vigorously, just as she did with her other colleagues.
“The examination is over, so you can leave now, patient and guardian. And Ivan, sometimes we eat together with the instructors.”
“I will consider it. Then, bye.”
Adella looked like she had a lot to say to the health instructor, but I dragged her behind.
As soon as she got out, she almost bumped into Scarlett who was coming towards the door. She gratefully accepted my uniform coat from me and put it on.
They exchange awkward eye contact with each other.
I said as I put on my coat.
“Welcome back, Adela.”
You said you went to your hometown.
It’s good to have time to recharge, but it would be good if you didn’t neglect the assignments given to you.
Luckily, she answered with a smile.
“Yes, instructor. I just returned.”
“You must have done your assignment faithfully, right?”
“Of course. Is that all I’ve done? There’s something I really want to show you.”
“I didn’t ask you to buy me a souvenir.”
“That’s not it. Oh, of course I bought a souvenir.”
I will have to give the souvenir to Paula later.
I’m sure you’ll like it very much.
“…So, what did the doctor say?”
“He didn’t say anything.”
I took out her discharge certificate and handed it to her, omitting her detailed explanation.
“If you’ve had a good rest, it’s time to run again. Vacation is quickly coming to an end, so special training starts tomorrow.”
I lay down for two days and gathered my thoughts.
The events that will occur in the future will probably not be the only ones that I ‘know’.
Cain said that. The church doesn’t completely trust me, and they’re planning to start exerting influence on Russell in earnest.
Then we have to stop it.
I will stop it and leave the cleanup to Cain.
And, one day, to hit him in the back of the head.
“I will wait in the private room.”
Not only me,
Because they too need to become much stronger.
—
“Huh, huh~”
A hum rang out in the empty office.
White hair sways gently along the shoulders that cannot be left still.
Adela Cathy.
After living in her hometown, where each day felt like a year, she finally returned to Russell’s office.
It wasn’t that she was uncomfortable returning home after a long time, but Adela felt once again that the time away from her instructor was passing unimaginably slowly.
“Really, I wonder how I waited until now.”
After saying goodbye to the boy, I felt proud of myself for having waited this long.
But not anymore.
The boy has already become a wonderful instructor and is by his closest side.
Because that fact holds firm,
Even when he desperately pretended not to know Adela, there was no sense of crisis.
There must be something going on,
Because she is a woman who knows how to wait.
If only one regret remains,
It was a memory from the treatment room.
I should have gone in 10 seconds earlier.
Knock knock-
A knock was heard.
For a moment, I thought he was an instructor, but there was no particular reason for me to come here.
She said, leaving the clothes she was trying to rearrange in a hurry.
“Please come in.”
Squeak-
“Ah, ah, hello, Adela…”
“Good evening, Camilla.”
“Well, I guess you just came back. hahahaha…”
I wasn’t usually the type to speak fluently and trustfully,
Camilla became even more limp today.
It was a strange thing. As soon as she returned, she confirmed that Camilla’s work was quite excellent.
Is there anything that comes in like that, drenched in cold sweat?
“Uh, uh… This…”
The document she held out, her hand shaking.
No, sealed documents.
She was the one who made me wonder if there were more documents for me to receive.
She was able to remember it right away.
‘Instructor Miho and Instructor Ivan. The correlation between the two.’
For some reason, she seemed to keep avoiding him, but eventually he found out about her plan to go to her back alley during her vacation with her boyfriend from that time.
She was Adella, who was a little upset and acted like a child.
Mutual trust.
There is nothing more important than that in human relationships.
Even because her Ivan is no longer a ‘trade object’, he has become a much deeper person to her.
She regretted entrusting this investigation to her.
“Well, I’m going! Congratulations on your return!”
“Yes? Oh, yes.”
Saeng-
“Hello…?”
Why is Camilla like that?
Why are the documents sealed like this?
I opened it carefully,
Adella saw the first page.
“……………………….”
No more in the office,
She couldn’t hear any humming.
