Sungjin Mental Hospital #3
Translator : Elizabeth
[Title: Ghost-bros in Sungjin Mental Hospital right now, listen carefully]
- No matter how urgent and mentally cornered you are, never try to mix words with Anomalies.
There are bastards who keep losing their minds midway because they look fine on the outside, but then it's straight to surgery so it's just goodbye from the world.
My junior bastard just got caught by a nurse for no reason and dragged away just now?
After that, I don't know what happened either so don't ask me fuck.
Anyway, I think this is it for me.
Even if I want to go out to the hallway, patients and nurses walk around frequently so I can't do anything.
I'll hold out roughly until I can and then leave the gallery, so fighting to the Ghost-bros who will get out.
Eun-seo, my daughter, sorry daddy can't go, love you.]
[↳ ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
↳ Author: Not dead yet so don't cry.
↳ Which floor is it that the hallway is fucked up like that?
↳ Author: 4th floor.
↳ Ah.
↳ Author: Out of all places, got caught in a very shitty place ha;
↳ Author: I should've held onto my junior bastard's mind tightly at least.]
[Title: Lol today especially]
- There are many bastards getting done in by team colleagues.
Didn't someone earlier also say they got done in and are trapped somewhere?
↳ SafeToday: You called me?
↳ Author: Lolololol.
↳ Came right away lol.
↳ SafeToday: Don't laugh, it's damn annoying.
↳ Lolololol heh lol.
↳ SafeToday: Fuck.]
[Title: But if you look at the nurse closely]
- Doesn't she look kinda hot?
Thinking about it again, I think she counts among the people I've seen in my life.
↳ Mod, cut this guy.
↳ Author: No, seriously sincerely;
↳ Sometimes pervert bastards say things like you.
↳ But fuck, leaving aside hot or not, is it possible to have such thoughts against an Anomaly?
↳ ???: Ah lol my dick reacted first.
↳ But I sometimes think like that too yep;
↳ Augh Anomaly-spies fuck.
↳ Lust >>>>>> Anomaly]
[↳ So I'd rather, if told to just die right now.
↳ I kinda want to die looking at nurse noonaaaas in the hospital.
↳ Compared to other places, it's definitely better yep lol.
↳ Bobbed hair noona, long hair noona, noona with a mole under the eye, noona with plump lips, just squeezing out exclamations, how do you resist nurses Anomaly?
↳ Ah, is it starting slowly?
↳ Okay, we will have regular Anomaly praise time~
↳ Moddddddddd, here fuck.
↳ But seriously, unnecessarily many types fuck lol.
↳ In my view, the founder of this Anomaly is a learned bastard yep;]
[Title: Recently a damn super big hit cute nurse was added too]
- For a moment I seriously couldn't hold back and almost ran to rub cheeks warararara.
The expression is so real too, the liveliness itself was different from other nurses so far.
↳ Fuck why do only you see it.
↳ Bitches, I told you you die if you encounter an Anomaly?
↳ Author: Ah who cares lol.
↳ Fucking cute Anomaly where?
↳ Author: Idk.
↳ Author: Earlier while passing the hallway according to the manual, I saw her fidgeting holding a chart then going somewhere.
↳ Damn envious.]
"....?"
Saw me?
When...?!
I went around here and there diligently clearing quests written on the chart.
The moment I wore the nurse uniform, whether the hospital really recognized me as an affiliated Anomaly—
Even if I wandered around here and there, they didn't do any particular threat or interference.
[- So where is the damn freaking cute nurse!!!]
"....!"
In the midst of that, I received quite a shock due to a gallery post I saw by chance.
Just when did they see me...?!
I didn't see them, but over there they saw me several times?
Is it because they are ability users worthy of being active in a nominal C-Rank Anomaly? Their concealment and detection abilities seemed greatly outstanding.
'Or Awakeners?'
Thinking so, as I moved my steps, suddenly someone called me to stop.
"You, who are you?"
"Ah....!"
It's a different appearance, a different Anomaly from the Senior Nurse who guided me earlier.
I showed the chart immediately.
"Ah~ You're a rookie. Work hard."
Then she smiled kindly again in an instant and let me go.
"M, Might be not bad, better than I thought..."
Hah.
I immediately shook my head vigorously side to side and corrected my thoughts.
Director, I want to go back home. Warm rice, hot bathroom, even the cozy bed.
I want to lie on the bed and tap the phone tok tok again feeling the worth of life!
Ghost-bros of the F-Rank Gallery, I miss you...
The restriction of not being able to participate directly among them is definitely frustrating, but still, just looking made me full.
Thud.
"Ouch."
While walking aimlessly like that, feeling something hit my foot, I looked down.
"....!"
A severed arm was placed there forlornly.
One of the chart missions.
Put the body part in the hallway into the disposal bin.
"...."
Disgusting. It's disgusting but for now I have to clear the mission, yeah. Where was the disposal bin again?
「▶ You seem to be gradually adapting to life in 'Sungjin Mental Hospital'. Perhaps a desire for promotion has arisen?」
"What are you saying...!"
Leaving the status window spitting weird words occasionally behind for no reason, I picked up the arm placed on the floor.
Don't know if it's because it originated from an Anomaly, but I didn't particularly feel weight or anything.
This is similar to the Crying Child time?
I entered the place where the nurse I encountered earlier was and spoke to her.
"Ah~ Disposal bin? That is over there."
"Ah, thank you."
"...."
Since she stared at me blankly again without a word at my greeting, getting anxious for no reason, I asked without leaving the spot immediately.
"Wh, Why are you doing that?"
"Kind child."
"....?"
"Fighting."
At the sudden cheering, I also raised the remaining one arm and nodded, responding.
For reference, the doll inhabited by the Crying Child was well hung on my waist.
When I crossed its fluffy two arms, it was fascinating that it fixed itself well on its own.
Clunk!
Putting the arm I was holding into the empty dark-colored disposal bin, a 'Complete' status window floated in a corner of my vision.
'Okay.'
Finishing work like that, I discovered that the door of one of the patient rooms was slightly open.
'Originally patient room doors are all closed though?'
I know because I entered earlier due to the patient check quest, usually patient room doors were firmly closed.
Creak...
Entering stealthily out of curiosity, I saw four patient beds just like other places.
"....."
On each bed, shadows of patients covered by curtains were reflected.
Swish.
I opened one of the curtains.
Then, with a pale complexion, the appearance of a patient staring intently at me was visible.
The patient was smiling. Actually, the facial pallor wasn't just pale, but bleached enough to remind one of a blank sheet of paper.
"Do you have any uncomfortable places?"
"No. Thank you very much for caring, Nurse, thanks to you I think my body became healthy. Is there perhaps any additional treatment or medicine I can take?"
The patient spat out words wada-dak without even breathing.
Usually when asked like this, they lie back down on the bed and stay still, but sometimes there were patients—Anomalies—who showed interest in me like this.
"I cannot give medicine carelessly. I will ask the Doctor about additional treatment once."
"Thank you, Nurse."
Slide.
Only then did the patient lie down on the bed and become quiet.
'Hmm... Doesn't seem like there's anything particularly different.'
Swish, swish.
Just in case, checking other beds too, Anomalies with white skin just like the patient earlier were lying quietly.
Like that, the last of the four.
I walked there and opened the curtain.
"....?"
There was a patient there too. However, something was different.
Originally patients reveal their faces, but this patient was covering their face up to the face with a blanket, hiding their appearance.
"Do you have any uncomfortable places?"
Asking as usual for now, the blanket flinched once then stiffened.
"Thank you for caring, Nurse. I am healthy right now."
"Ah..."
"....."
"....."
I stood in place for a long time looking at that pile of blankets with a suspicious feeling.
What on earth is it? Why wrapping the blanket tight like that?
Curiosity kept raising its head, so I eventually stared at it intently—then put my hand on the blanket.
Like that, slowly removing it downward.
"Ah."
I saw a 'person', not a patient, closing eyes while sweating profusely.
It was a pretty person.
With long hair tied down to one side for ease of activity, harmonizing well with a somewhat cold impression.
If met in a normal state, I think I would have looked back while passing because I wanted to keep looking.
'Agent.'
Judgment stands as soon as I see.
That it's an agent hiding here due to some reason.
The person who was closing eyes, perhaps unable to endure anymore as I was staring intently, opened one eyelid slightly while trembling.
Like that, our eyes met.
"....!"
Hmm, what do I do about this.
I know well now that I won't look normal in their eyes.
But passing by pretending not to know entirely when we met barely like this is also iffy, is there anything I can help with?
Glad because it's a warm living person met locally after a long time?
"....."
"....."
We two exchanged gazes for a long time like that.
Over there it was obvious they were wary that I might do something weird, and it's obvious it will sound weird if I talk to them...
'Uh?'
But thinking about it, earlier when I asked, they answered just fine, what is that?
Surely, if acting according to the rules valid inside the Anomaly, can that communicate with a normal person?
"....Do you perhaps have any uncomfortable places?"
Asking the same question just in case, the agent who heard my words flinched.
"I... I am okay. Nurse."
This, is correct. It's correct that they heard my words!
Uh... then next is.
"Do you have any uncomfortable places?"
I stepped back one step on purpose, conveying the sign that I have no intention to attack you.
When I asked for the second time, only then did an emotion other than wariness dye the expression of the agent who felt something strange.
"...."
Nod.
I nodded my head slowly.
It was an expression of intent that I already know somewhat about your identity.
"Ah..."
The moment the agent who felt something like that was about to open their mouth—
Click.
At the presence approaching from outside the patient room, the agent and I froze simultaneously.
Click. Click. Click. Click.
Familiar heel sound.
It was of an Anomaly nurse.
Turning my head, I saw the face of the nurse nodding her head with a smiling face. It's the nurse who told me the location of the disposal bin earlier.
'As expected, entering the patient room.'
Watching the nurse with such sentiment, the gaze that was touching the agent headed toward me just in time.
"Ch, Checking the pa, tient is, the du, du, du, duty of a nurse..."
"Yes. I was looking if there were any painful places."
Snap.
When I said so, the nodding head finds its place.
"Were you looking?"
"Yes, Nurse."
"Okay~"
Then, retreating the steps she was walking as they were, she goes out of the patient room.
Phew. Fortunately she listens to words. Is it because we are fellow nurses?
Relieved, I looked back.
"...."
I see the face of the agent gasping for breath as if about to faint any moment.
I did well, right?
Lifting one hand and making a fist, I looked at the agent assuming a 'fighting' pose.
"....."
And only then grasping the situation somewhat, in the agent's eyes which were only despair—
A ray of light flashed by.
"Do you have any uncomfortable places?"
"Th, Thank you."
"Do you have any uncomfortable places?"
I smiled brightly and offered an Anomaly-style greeting.
...It will be okay, right? Our communication.
