"Senpai, come in."
Hayasaka Ai's voice came from the rest room.
Amamiya Natsuki pushed the door open, his gaze sweeping over the two people in the rest room, and he quickly understood.
If Hayasaka was truly brought here for punishment, the atmosphere between them would certainly not be so calm. So...
"Aoi, you go out."
Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at Headless JK behind him.
"Yes, Doctor."
Headless JK was very obedient, didn't ask why, and silently turned and left.
Bang.
Amamiya Natsuki gently closed the door, locked it, and looked at the Head nurse whose face was covered with a bloody gauze, whispering:
"Player?"
Given Spy Maid's personality, she would only stand her ground when Sheltered Ojou-sama was in danger. If she herself was in danger, she would definitely choose the thirty-six stratagems, with running away as the best option, escaping at the first opportunity.
When Headless JK came for help just now, Amamiya Natsuki felt something was off.
She wasn't like Komi, who would do whatever others told her. Given Hayasaka's personality, since she knew the Head nurse was going to punish her, she would definitely try to delay for various reasons. If she really couldn't escape, she might even let Headless JK take action to create an opportunity for her to escape.
Now, leaving obediently without a word, it was clearly strange.
After Amamiya Natsuki entered and saw the two sitting unguarded, he understood:
The Head nurse in front of him must be a player.
"Senpai got it right," Hayasaka Ai looked up, "Too bad there's no reward."
"Hello," the Head nurse stood up, her voice cold. "Nice to meet you. Please guide me."
Since the other party was unwilling to show her true face, Amamiya Natsuki naturally wouldn't be completely open either. He simply nodded and quickly got straight to the point:
"Head nurse, what do you need from us?"
"There is indeed something I'd like to ask for your help with..." The Head nurse didn't waste words and quickly stated her intention. "My character mission has encountered difficulties, and I'd like to ask for your help."
Amamiya Natsuki walked over and sat next to Hayasaka, saying unhurriedly:
"Please explain the details, and it would be best if we could see the mission panel."
"...No problem."
The nurse Manager nodded in agreement.
A translucent mission panel quickly appeared before Amamiya Natsuki and Hayasaka Ai. Other information was hidden, and only the mission panel could be viewed.
[Your current role: Emergency Department Head nurse]
[Your character mission: The Head nurse's Anxiety]
[Mission Brief: Have you ever wondered why all the Nurses in the Hospital are young Nurses, and where have the older Nurses gone?]
[Night shifts, irregular life, high-pressure work... The hardships of Nurses are unspeakable, and your age anxiety is growing day by day, forcing you to consider your future.]
[Since you are a nurse, you must go step by step, to the highest level, so you decide to run for Department of Nursing Director.]
[Mission Requirement: By any means necessary, successfully win the election for Department of Nursing Director.]
After reading the mission content, Amamiya Natsuki pressed his fingers to his forehead: "So the highest level for a nurse is Department of Nursing Director."
Hayasaka Ai nodded: "This is my first time knowing that too."
Amamiya Natsuki said: "Speaking of which, what are the job responsibilities of the Department of Nursing Director?"
"Responsible for the entire Hospital's nursing management work, simply put, it's a management position..." The Head nurse subconsciously explained, then looked over speechlessly, "As long as I win the election, the mission is complete. The subsequent job responsibilities have nothing to do with me."
After a pause, the nurse Manager continued:
"I've investigated, and including myself, there are a total of four candidates for the Department of Nursing Director position. I must win against the others to complete the character mission."
"Since it's an election, there will definitely be opponents. Even if it's a fixed outcome, there's still a process to follow." Amamiya Natsuki nodded gently, looked at the nurse Manager, and asked, "Do you have any plans?"
The nurse Manager glanced at the door, made sure it was locked, lowered her voice, and stated her plan.
"I've thoroughly investigated the election content, which includes patient satisfaction, nurse votes, and so on." The passerby player bit her lip and whispered, "If I participate in the election through regular means, I don't believe I can win against the other three competitors, so..."
Understood.
If regular means don't work, then naturally, irregular means will be used.
As players, coming to a dungeon-like place like this, it's not suitable to clear it using conventional methods.
"So my plan is to prevent the other three candidates from participating in the election."
After nurse Manager finished speaking, she took a medicine bottle from her pocket and chose to make the item's attributes public.
Item: Paraquat
Usage: Oral, mixed with other liquids
Effect: An excellent chemical product, known for making all plants wither. It was once widely used in agriculture. This item is an improved version, capable of causing significant damage to vengeful spirits and monsters.
Note: Warning color, odorant, and emetic have all been removed, returning to you the colorless, odorless true paraquat. It is an essential medicine for home travel, murder, and robbery.
Hayasaka Ai: "..."
Amamiya Natsuki: "..."
Good heavens.
Truly good heavens.
Others' illicit methods are still at the stage of coercion and inducement; you've gone straight to administering paraquat!
"Ahem." Miss Nurse Manager lightly coughed twice and explained, "This is an item I obtained by chance and have never used. Now there's no other way... I've observed you two; that restaurant is operated by you, isn't it?"
Amamiya Natsuki admitted, "That's right."
Fishing contests, Corporate Capitalism-style tactics, Hall of Fame gameplay, and so on, it's like throwing a catfish into stagnant water; it's normal to be suspected.
"So," Amamiya Natsuki looked at nurse Manager, "what do you want to do?"
Miss Nurse Manager whispered:
"That... I tried to get close to those three election opponents, but they were very difficult to deal with, let alone drink anything I offered them. However, they have dined at the restaurant before... I hope you two can help."
As expected, she plans to poison them at the restaurant, right?
This isn't helping at all; it's joint criminality!
"Speaking of which, I saw a piece of news yesterday..." Hayasaka Ai's pink lips moved slightly as she couldn't help but complain, "A teacher with a doctorate, teaching at a certain university, put paraquat into a colleague's drinking water. I didn't expect to be involved in something like that today."
Amamiya Natsuki interlaced his fingers and said in a faint tone:
"From a legal perspective, if poison is administered only to specific targets, it's considered intentional homicide. If paraquat is administered in a restaurant and injures other unspecified people, it's considered the crime of endangering public safety with dangerous substances."
"Vengeful spirits aren't protected by law," Miss Nurse Manager argued somewhat guiltily and quickly, "and it's not like I'm giving paraquat to everyone. I just need to incapacitate those three election opponents so they can't participate in the election."
