After checking the text from the Association staff, I slipped my phone back into my inventory. My week-long hospital stay was finally over today.
Thanks to Han Jin-woo Hunter's healing skills, I'd gotten past the worst of it, but they wanted to monitor my recovery, so I ended up hospitalized against my will. I'd spent a boringly peaceful time in a private room getting treatment, and with the doctor's final words that everything was back to normal levels, I was free again.
"Ughhh...!"
I stretched out my stiff body and changed back into my regular clothes. They'd been washed and reinforced with a new defense skill, making them feel even softer and lighter than before. Later, when I had time, I should get some new S-rank defensive gear...
'Hey, can we talk?'
"Ah."
As I folded up the patient gown and set it on the bed, the Ego—who'd been silent the whole time—finally spoke up now that it was discharge day. The first words were pretty curt... but I got it.
The Ego still seemed displeased, staying quiet for a while as if choosing its words, then soon sent a faint vibration along with its voice.
'From now on, answer everything I ask honestly, got it?'
'Sure~ Sure~'
This was gonna be a long talk.
I perched on the edge of the neatly made hospital bed and waited for the Ego's questions.
'This isn't your first regression, right?'
"Yeah."
'How many times?'
"Thirty-six that I remember."
