The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard - Chapter 126
Complete. The End, and the Beginning (2)
“I said I could go for a walk.”
“Umm… But the sky is really pretty right now… “
“What’s the use of taking a walk if you can’t walk?”
The cup on the bed table was rolling around on the floor.
Fortunately, it was a single-person intensive care unit and it was a plastic cup, so no accident occurred.
I silently picked up the cup and wiped the spilled water on the floor.
“Sorry. Then let’s postpone the walk until later. Please call me when you want.”
“… Okay.”
As I was leaving the hospital room, I caught a glimpse of her.
She was looking out her window.
Looking at the sky beautifully decorated with clouds without saying a word.
‘This child reminds me of Arlot.’
I come out of the hospital room, push a cart and reminisce about the past.
From noble mtl dot com
The moment I decided that it would be better for me to die than to kill Arlot.
I carried out my resolution before others tried to stop me…
That’s how I returned to reality.
A small room measuring about 3 pyeong.
In a dark situation outside the window, the computer monitor shined alone.
A world where the cramped living room, empty bank account balance, and damned hikikomori status remain the same.
〈 Party to Savior 〉 More than 10 years of time spent in the game world.
I still remember each and every moment, the conversations I had with them, the dangerous moments, and the moments when I wished it would just stop like this…
After spending a few days with my eyes open like that, I finally had no choice but to admit it.
The ‘Waltz Schmitz’ life I experienced was a one-night dream.
‘… But why did 〈 Party to Savior 〉 disappear?’
If there is one thing that has changed since waking up from the dream,
It was that the game 〈 Party to Savior 〉 disappeared from this world.
The game, developer, development company, email, and even the gallery and articles I wrote have all disappeared.
At first, I wondered if it was really a dream or if I had something mentally wrong.
However, no matter how many times I thought about it, the world always flowed according to the determined movement of the second hand,
In the end, I felt the futility of life and spent several months living in my own room day by day, unable to die.
It was a side effect that the ten years that had been hotter than ever had gone to waste in an instant.
“Whoa… “
I put the cart aside and went out to smoke a cigarette when I was free from work.
I blankly stare at the sky in the empty smoking area.
Unlike the wound in my heart that had not yet healed, the sky was damn beautiful.
When I really thought I was going to die, I saw the sky outside the small window of my room, and at that moment, I realized.
If I were to die helplessly and alone in my room like this right now…
That the only person who remembers the world I loved ended up having that experience as something that never really happened.
I lived like crazy with nothing but bones remaining.
Once I gained some weight and muscles on my body, I started studying.
Taking advantage of her experience serving Arlot, she aspired to become a nurse, and was able to become one after several months of hard work.
There were not many male nurses applying, so there was a shortage of manpower,
I was even more alert thinking that it was my last chance.
Now, we are more familiar with medical needles than daggers.
‘What happened to that world?’
My mind was not mentally defective to create such a vast world, and on the other hand, I did not have the capacity to create such an elaborate world.
That world was real and what I did made it real… No, if my soul was thrown out into ‘this world’.
What happened to the world of 〈 Party to Savior 〉?
What happened to the northern part, as well as Medea, Hannah, and Koyono?
The brainwashing they had to undergo as the incarnation of evil; What about the demon kings and demons who escaped it?
And… Arlot, who was trapped in ice, was something I wanted to save even at the cost of my life.
“Teacher Yu! “You were here.”
“Head nurse. Did you find it?”
I was about to go home when I finished my breathing and the head nurse at the hospital came to see me.
What would it be like for a middle-aged woman to come running?
She was a little nervous and waited for her to speak.
“That… “I’m sorry, but the patient in room 1 was looking for Teacher Yu.”
“Are you the patient in room 1? There… “Isn’t it a special room?”
Although it is a small hospital, there is a special room called ‘Room 1’ on the top floor.
There was no one in the expensive special room until now, but I heard that a VIP guest recently came in.
But she wondered why she was calling me.
“I understand that a dedicated nurse has been assigned to the special room.”
“That’s true, but that person kept changing the nurse in charge… I guess he’s a bit picky and eccentric. Are you trying to meet all the nurses? Ugh.”
It won’t be easy if the good-natured head nurse is someone who sticks out her tongue.
Anyway, I wondered if I could really satisfy them in a situation where nurses with much more experience than me were kicked out…
If I had to criticize it, I would criticize it.
“I understand for now. “I’ll be there right away.”
“Sorry. If anything happens, tell me right away. “Because my family is more important than the VIPs I’ve never heard of.”
“Haha, thank you for your concern.”
After receiving the handover from the person who was a dedicated nurse, I immediately walked out with the cart.
While working as a nurse, I had met many real-life customers, so I knew how to treat them.
I arrived at the top floor, which I had never been to by elevator, and took a deep breath before opening the door to the luxurious hospital room.
‘It is important not to make eye contact.’
The truth is that when customers make eye contact, they tend to take it as a sign that they are going to fight.
So, go in first with your head down and eliminate any room for conflict.
It was a wisdom of life that I learned while working as a nurse.
But something was strange.
“Could you please draw blood?”
“… Yes.”
I pulled the cart and approached the hospital bed, almost looking at the floor.
She was covered with a blanket so I couldn’t even see her her body her, but when I heard her voice her her her, my heart felt like it was going to burst.
… Have I come to my senses yet?
“Here you go. Hehe.”
Her outstretched arms looked white and lifeless, like someone’s skin.
Her mind was already telling her to check his face her right away, but …
On the contrary, I didn’t want to check her face
Because she had already met more than one woman on the street who had skin similar to hers.
She no longer wanted to be expected, betrayed, or hurt.
That’s why I held up the needle and suppressed my emotions.
“It stings.”
“… Having my blood taken out was such a disgusting feeling.”
My hands were shaking, but fortunately I inserted the needle in the right place.
The meaningful words of a woman, her arms, her voice, her, her.
And…
“You did this for me every month.”
“… !”
The woman stroked my hair with the other hand, not the arm where the needle was inserted.
“In this world, I have black hair and black eyes. Well, it’s nice to look like that.”
“… It’s done. “I’ll just leave now.”
My vision has already become blurry.
Somehow, I collected the injections that had been collected and pulled the cart with difficulty.
It was clear that if it stayed any longer, it would collapse.
I didn’t see her face, but she was there before my eyes.
All her indicators made her known, her reason, her emotions, her intuition all shouted.
Nevertheless, she turned away.
‘Wake. That can’t happen.’
I finally escaped from the brink of death and adapted to reality again.
I prayed and prayed to see her dozens of times a day, but it didn’t happen.
I am already too tired to be happy that my wish has finally been granted.
I was looking at the floor and trying to push the cart, but two women blocked my path.
Their clothes were that of ordinary modern people.
But the tone of speech was far from that.
“You’ve made it this far, but you don’t even know. It’s just like Mr. Schmitz.”
“I agree. Although the appearance is different, seeing this appearance makes me feel like Schmidt on the inside.”
“Ah… Ah… “
Water droplets fell from my eyes and my blurry vision returned in an instant.
When she slowly raised her head, there was the person she had been dreaming of before her eyes.
Koyono in a modified hanbok with an impressive ponytail, and Hanna in a stylish one-piece dress.
Two people each placed their hands on my shoulders.
“I had a hard time finding it. I have to pay for kicking you out last time. … By taking responsibility.”
“Oh my, you sure didn’t think you could run away from us, did you? I know there’s still one wish left… Huh?”
We touched each other’s cheeks with trembling hands.
Hanna’s embarrassed expression and Koyono rubbing her face against my cheek.
I finally recognized the warmth of their cheeks.
And then I looked back.
“Come on… No, I’ve been there. Would it be more correct to say that?”
She looks at me with a gentle smile.
The wind coming through the open window gently swayed her white hair
I slowly approached Arlot, facing his red eyes.
“Hehe, long time no see, Schmitz.”
Unable to speak, I sat down on the floor, barely holding on to the edge of the bed.
“Are you okay?”
“I guess I was so surprised. “Let’s leave it like this for now.”
“Really… Schmitz here is a crybaby.”
Arlot gently stroked my cheek with his thin fingers,
The tears just wet the blanket on the hospital bed endlessly.
Even though I cried and made a very unsightly sound at the reunion,
The sky outside the window was fucking beautiful.
