It was an unexpected delight to successfully recruit Sadako with mahjong.
However, resting is still necessary, and replenishing energy is very important.
After the handover with Kaguya, Amamiya Natsuki entered his room and began to rest.
A night without words… but not really.
When Amamiya Natsuki woke up, it was still pitch-black night, as if time had not passed at all.
After a quick tidy-up, Amamiya Natsuki walked out of the room and happened to meet Chika and Hayasaka.
"Natsuki-kun, you're awake?"
Fujiwara Chika raised her hand to greet him, her voice quite clear.
"Good morning, Senpai."
Hayasaka Ai's voice was a bit lazy; she must have just woken up.
Amamiya Natsuki nodded, "Are you two busy now?"
"Eh?" Fujiwara Chika blinked, "What does Natsuki-kun want to do?"
"It's like this…"
Amamiya Natsuki recounted the mahjong game they played during the night watch, then said:
"Shimizu-nee is not in good condition right now and urgently needs to replenish her energy."
For a Guardian Spirit to influence reality, it needs to consume the power of existence, which can only be obtained from the Guardian Object, and it must be positive and active emotional power.
Mrs. Shimizu is like a backup phone; once her "battery is low," it makes one quite concerned and want to "charge" her energy.
Hayasaka Ai crossed her arms: "If you knew Shimizu-nee's activities consume energy, you shouldn't have called her to play mahjong."
Amamiya Natsuki retorted, "You don't know the pain of mahjong being short one player."
"Tsk."
Fujiwara Chika, however, had no objection. She put her hands on her hips and said, "In that case, leave it to Hanamori and me."
"..."
The three walked into the room together.
The room they were in was a former lounge, not large and with poor soundproofing, but after being cleaned, it was fine for resting.
"Natsuki-kun, hurry up and lie down." Fujiwara Chika pointed with her hand, "Get ready to be trampled under our feet."
Amamiya Natsuki's gaze dropped to the two girls' legs wrapped in black stockings: "Did you… wash your feet?"
"I'm sorry, no." Hayasaka Ai crossed her arms and smiled, "In such a dangerous place like a dungeon, personal hygiene just has to be sacrificed."
Amamiya Natsuki said without changing his expression:
"Better if you don't wash them."
"Eh?"
"I feel more excited."
Hayasaka Ai covered her chest with both hands, took a half-step back, and timidly shook her head:
"I'm sorry, Senpai is really too perverted. I can't accept such a terrible way of playing."
You like to send late-night videos to others for no reason, who's the pervert here?!
"Hurry up and start." Fujiwara Chika put her hands on her hips and urged, "My feet are already itching for action."
"Mm."
Amamiya Natsuki lay flat on the floor, accepting the two girls' back-stomping for recharging.
At the same time.
Shinomiya Kaguya quietly arrived in the hallway.
"Why haven't they come out yet? Are they not awake?"
Just as she reached the room door, Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly heard faint voices coming from inside the room, and her steps involuntarily paused.
"Natsuki-kun, is it comfortable?"
It's Chika's voice!
Shinomiya Kaguya's eyes widened instantly.
What's going on?
Chika's resting room is clearly at the end of the hallway, so why is her voice coming from the President's room?
"I must have misheard…"
Shinomiya Kaguya comforted herself.
The next second.
Another familiar voice came from the room: "Not bad, getting more and more skilled."
That's clearly the President's voice! What are you two doing hiding in the room behind my back?!
Shinomiya Kaguya's cheeks quickly puffed up, and she couldn't help but prick up her ears, leaning closer to listen.
I must have misunderstood; this is a dungeon, so they definitely wouldn't be doing anything strange…
"Or should we take them off?" Fujiwara Chika's voice sounded again, "If they get dirty, they won't be comfortable to wear."
Dirty what?
Clothes?
Shinomiya Kaguya pricked up her ears, unable to resist clenching her small fists.
What exactly are you doing that you need to take off your clothes?!
Amamiya Natsuki: "Don't waste time, hurry up."
Hayasaka Ai: "Let me translate. What Senpai just meant was—it doesn't matter if it's clean or not, I'm a uniform fetishist anyway."
Hanamori is there too?
Hearing the voices, the Sheltered Young Lady secretly bit her silver teeth.
The previous iron trio was clearly me, the President, and Chika. Now the iron trio has excluded me, hasn't it?!
Amamiya Natsuki: "You're slandering my good name."
Hayasaka Ai: "Senpai probably hasn't had a good name for a long time… Ah!"
A short gasp sounded.
Followed by the girl's coy, half-hearted pleas for mercy.
"Senpai, not there, don't kiss!"
Kissing?!
Shinomiya Kaguya's black hair trembled, and an expression of disbelief appeared in her wine-red eyes, followed by black mist rapidly swirling within them.
They're actually playing kissing games in there… Un-unforgivable!
This the Sheltered Young Lady used to have extremely limited knowledge of physiological health, not even knowing the steps of childbirth.
Later, her interest awakened, and she had Hayasaka buy some unspeakable manga, so her knowledge of physiological health increased, but it was still not much.
In her opinion, if it was kissing, it could only be the same kind of kissing as she did.
Bang!
The Sheltered Young Lady could no longer bear it and pushed open the door.
The three people in the room all turned their heads to look.
"You guys are actually behind my back… Eh?"
After seeing the room's environment clearly, Shinomiya Kaguya was stunned, "What are you doing?"
"Natsuki-kun said he needed to recharge." Fujiwara Chika was completely unashamed, explaining the situation while continuing to stomp on his back.
"I see…" Shinomiya Kaguya quietly breathed a sigh of relief, her gaze shifting to Amamiya Natsuki and Hayasaka, her tone hesitant, "What are you two doing?"
Amamiya Natsuki held the Hayasaka's doll-like foot wrapped in black stockings and, playing the victim, said:
"Hanamori wants me to kiss her foot…"
"No!"
The Sheltered Young Lady immediately denied it.
Seeing the three look at her, Shinomiya Kaguya crossed her right arm over her chest, coughed twice, and said nonchalantly:
"Breakfast is ready. You shouldn't waste too much time."
Kissing feet is too unhygienic! If the President really did something like that, even if a lust mushroom grew on his head later, I would resist and never kiss him again!
As for the scene of the three of them being disheveled, one stomping on a back and one kneading a foot, Shinomiya Kaguya didn't find anything wrong with it.
After all, she had done the same thing.
Fujiwara Chika invited:
"Kaguya-chan, do you want to join us?"
"No."
Shinomiya Kaguya shook her head in refusal, but her tone was slightly resentful.
It's my own mother; helping her recharge should be left to me, right?
With Kaguya present, Chika still let herself go, but Hayasaka Ai immediately restrained herself, and Amamiya Natsuki also settled down.
After recharging, the four left the room together.
Breakfast was actually very simple.
Food was often opened from Blind Box, so filling their stomachs was not a problem at all. As for sashimi made from nuclear wastewater Strange Fish, no one was willing to eat it; even the foodie Chika secretary wouldn't risk it.
After breakfast, everyone got busy again.
Shinomiya Kaguya continued to run the restaurant, while Juju and Komi helped in the kitchen.
Chika and passerby player Yui served as waitresses.
There was also Marin's idol performance; her senpai and passerby player Mizuhara Chizuru joined in, beginning idol training for Marin, especially Mizuhara Chizuru, who seemed quite familiar with the idol industry.
Amamiya Natsuki went to the consulting room to treat patients and save lives; Hayasaka Ai's daily nurse tasks were also in the consulting building, and the two walked together, followed by Chainsaw Boy and Headless JK.
"Senpai, I'm going to get busy now," Hayasaka Ai whispered.
Amamiya Natsuki nodded, looked at Headless JK, and said, "Aoi, you stay with Hanamori and protect Hanamori's safety."
...
Headless JK held the Chainsaw and silently walked behind Hayasaka Ai.
Nurses are actually very hard, especially Nurses at the Hospital of Resentful Spirits. Those patients often make strange requests, and if they are not met, they may be attacked. However, with Headless JK providing close protection, there is no need to worry too much about safety.
After seeing Hayasaka Ai leave, Amamiya Natsuki pushed open the door and entered the office, waiting for new patients to come for consultation.
If yesterday counted as one day, Amamiya Natsuki calculated that he had only received four patients in total, one of whom was Marin, which was quite embarrassing.
"I've decided," Amamiya Natsuki interlaced his fingers, setting a goal for himself. "Today, I'm going to see all the remaining patients."
Knock, knock, knock.
A knock on the door quickly sounded.
"Come in," Amamiya Natsuki leaned back in his chair and called out.
The door gently opened, and a patient with a bloated body, messy hair, and deep dark circles under his eyes walked in.
"Doctor, please give me a discharge certificate," the middle-aged man said straightforwardly.
"Patient, please sit down and speak slowly," Amamiya Natsuki said unhurriedly. "No illness in the world can be said to be 100% curable, so please describe your condition carefully so that I can provide you with the most thoughtful diagnosis."
The middle-aged man sighed and began to describe his condition.
"My name is Ishida... I'm an office worker at a company in Kyoto. I usually like horse racing. Once, I successfully bet on my favorite horse and made a lot of money. Later, I won a few more times, so I quit my job..."
"I understand," Amamiya Natsuki nodded. "After experiencing the joy of effortless gain, one naturally wouldn't want to work hard anymore. This is human nature."
"Later, my luck was bad, and I always lost," the middle-aged man clutched his hair, his voice muffled. "My wife finally couldn't bear it anymore and left home with our child... After they left, I suddenly realized my mistake and decided never to gamble again."
"Doctor, I will never gamble again," the middle-aged man's eyes were bloodshot. "Please give me a discharge certificate. After I leave the Hospital, I will work hard and bring my child and wife back."
...
Amamiya Natsuki heard a game notification:
"Do you want to provide a discharge certificate? Yes/No?"
"Please note that different choices will lead to different consequences. Players, please choose carefully."
At the same time.
A prompt slowly appeared before Amamiya Natsuki's eyes.
[After careful consideration, you chose...]
Amamiya Natsuki blinked, dispelling the prompt in front of him.
Just kidding, such a simple multiple-choice question doesn't need a hint at all.
"Mr. Ishida, I can understand your desire to be discharged, but..." Amamiya Natsuki's tone changed, and he said calmly, "But I won't issue your discharge certificate."
"Why? I've worked so hard, why won't you give me a chance to turn over a new leaf?!"
The middle-aged man immediately became enraged, a low beast-like roar coming from his mouth, and the muscles on his face began to twist and deform. It was clear that a wrong answer would make him an attack target.
"The reason is simple..." Amamiya Natsuki said fearlessly, as if nothing had happened, "The World Cup has officially opened. The first round of Group A is Qatar versus Ecuador. Mr. Ishida, who do you bet will win?"
The middle-aged man blurted out:
"I bet Qatar will win!"
Amamiya Natsuki sighed: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ishida, you lost your bet."
...
The middle-aged man then reacted, the fierce expression on his face disappeared, and he returned to his harmless appearance, silently turning around and walking out of the consulting room dejectedly.
"Doctor, how did you know he would still gamble?"
Chainsaw Boy asked curiously.
"It's simple," Amamiya Natsuki interlaced his fingers. "Gambling addicts are usually unrepentant."
...
Amamiya Natsuki looked at the game's evaluation. He originally thought he would get a bad review, but upon closer inspection, he found that he had actually gained a good review.
It was clear that there was more than one way to get good reviews for treating patients and saving lives; more exploration was needed.
Next, Amamiya Natsuki continued to see other patients and found that almost all of them had deep-seated obsessions.
Unfortunately, not every patient would give a good review.
After seeing another patient, Amamiya Natsuki leaned back in his chair, about to rest for a while, when the door was suddenly pushed open. Headless JK walked in and said straightforwardly:
"Hanamori has been taken away."
"Huh?"
Amamiya Natsuki frowned, sat up straight, "Tell me the situation in detail."
Although Headless JK had no head, she still remembered things very clearly.
"Hanamori received many bad reviews from patients... then she was taken away by the Head nurse, who told me to come and find you..."
Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow. So, if you got too many bad reviews, there would be a hidden penalty.
As for why Hayasaka received so many bad reviews... last night, she brought Headless JK to threaten patients into obedience, using violent methods to deal with problems. No wonder the doctor-patient relationship was tense!
"Let's go, let's take a look."
Amamiya Natsuki got up and walked out the door, with Headless JK and Chainsaw Boy naturally following him.
Upon reaching the hallway, the light was as dim and eerie as ever.
Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at Headless JK: "Aoi, lead the way."
Headless JK indicated understanding, led Amamiya Natsuki forward, and soon arrived at a nurse's duty rest room, saying eerily:
"She's inside."
Amamiya Natsuki nodded gently, took half a step forward, and raised his hand to knock on the door.
He originally thought he would have to break in, but then Hayasaka Ai's voice directly sounded from inside the room:
"Is that Senpai?"
Amamiya Natsuki whispered: "It's me."
Hayasaka Ai: "The door isn't locked, Senpai can just come in."
