Isn’t it an Impossible Game for the Strongest Solo Gamer with Terrible Social Skills to Reincarnate as a Hated NPC in a VRMMO - The Strongest Solo Gamer with Terrible Social Skills Reincarnates as a Hated NPC in a VRMMO Chapter 120
120 Visiting the Patient③, is it? About the Pigeon Chest?
There are three necessary materials for the high-grade recovery potion.
First, there’s the Golden Bee Honey (kin gimmitsu).
It’s a material obtained by giving the tree sap of the “Hachi no Ki” tree, which grows on the 15th floor, to the insect-type monster “Crime Hunter” and having it mature inside its body.
Second, there’s the Teimenkou Hot Spring Water.
The monkey-type monster that appears on the 15th floor is called “Teimenkou.” The hot spring water is made by boiling the water they soak in for about 2 hours. It’s not like there are hot springs on the 15th to 20th floors, but there’s a place called “Aepsu no Izumi” on the 18th floor, where they take a bath, and we just wait for them to do so. What a pain to obtain this material!
And lastly, the third one is…
“―― Oh, wait.”
I was lost in thought and had already arrived at my destination. Room 506. It’s the hospital room where Kanzaki Ayumu is hospitalized. I’ll prioritize visiting him for now. According to the nameplate on the door, it seems Kanzaki is the only patient in this room. Did they put him in a private room on purpose? The hospital bills must be outrageous, but I guess that’s what it means to have a good social status.
I thought to myself as I opened the door to the hospital room.
“―― Ah!?”
“――”
There, I found Kanzaki in the middle of changing clothes. He was taking off his hospital gown and seemed to be about to change into his underwear. His masculine body, unlike the angular one I knew, had a certain roundness to it. What caught my attention the most was his chest area. Although he was wearing a sarashi, the bulge was still visible.
Could it be… Kanzaki…?
“Sh, Shouma!? Why are you here…!?”
“Kanzaki, you…”
“Ku…!? …D-don’t look!!”
Kanzaki panicked and tried to cover his chest.
But it was too late.
I had already seen it, and his reaction only confirmed my suspicions.
“Did you… see it…?”
“…Yeah.”
“I never thought you’d find out…”
“…”
“You’re not going to tell anyone, are you…?”
“No… I won’t. Don’t worry, Kanzaki. I owe you one, and I’ll keep this to myself.”
“…Are you disappointed?”
“Huh? Disappointed? Why would I be?”
I thought his chest was amazing, but it’s not like I’d be disappointed in Kanzaki because of it.
“This is just a physical characteristic, isn’t it? Kanzaki is still Kanzaki to me. Nothing’s changed.”
“Shouma――”
“Don’t be so down, okay…? I mean, it’s not like I can understand your worries, but… Is this the first time someone’s seen you like that?”
“It’s… terrifying. It’s not something you can easily show to anyone, is it…?”
“Is that so… Yeah, that’s right?”
He’s been hiding it with a cast, so it’s no wonder.
He’s got a lot of complex feelings.
“But don’t you think you need to overcome it someday? You can’t keep hiding it forever, right?”
“You can’t keep hiding it, can you…”
“Hmm?”
“…Are you not listening, Shōma――?”
From there, he began to tell the story of his past. Kanzaki had originally come from a warrior family and had been engaged to someone from a similar background. His fiancée, who had been attending the Academy since middle school, was killed in their third year by a scheme devised by Shinra Katsuragi, who was in the same A class. Kanzaki had entered the Academy to avenge his death and was assigned to Class D.
Wow, that’s quite a hard story.
――What about his chest, though?
I’m wondering, but Kanzaki continues his story.
“When I heard that you had defeated Katsuragi, I felt a sense of relief… I couldn’t have beaten him myself…”
As he says this, Kanzaki glances at his right leg.
The injury on his upper body is shallow, but… his right leg, which is fixed with a cast, looks severely injured.
“Is it a fracture?”
“…Even if it heals, they say I’ll still have a strange sensation. I won’t be able to walk like I used to…”
“…Wait a minute. You mean the last time…?”
“…I’ll probably get expelled from school.”
“What!?”
“I wasn’t conscious, but… when I was taken to the infirmary, I think the teacher saw my body. They saw the secret of my body… so…”
“So you’re saying you’ll get expelled!? What’s going on with that story!? It’s ridiculous!”
“Shōma…”
“I won’t accept it…! I refuse to accept it!!”
From noble mtl dot nete
Is there a school that would expel a student just because they’re a male idol!? It’s unbearable!
Kanzaki’s getting a bit tired, isn’t he!?
“I understand that Kanzaki’s weak, but you’re worrying too much! If you think about it too much, even injuries that can be cured won’t heal!”
“But I’m already…!”
“Is Kanzaki really okay with that!? You’re not thinking of settling for something halfway, are you? That’s not like Kanzaki at all!”
“I know that! But I’m already at my limit! Even in perfect condition, I couldn’t beat Katsuragi! With my leg’s aftereffects now, I can’t even…!”
“You’re not saying it’s impossible to cure, are you!?”
“It’s a probability of a miracle! I’m already at my limit…!”
Kanzaki hugs his body and hangs his head. What’s going on with that attitude?! Where’s the usual calm and collected Kanzaki who always encourages me?!
Ugh, there’s no choice but to do something about it!!
“…Where are you going?”
“…To Aoi’s place. It’s a hassle, but since he’s hospitalized too, I should at least visit him…”
“Is that so――”
I left Godasaki, who seemed lonely, and placed my hand on the hospital room door.
…… Ah. Yeah.
I have to say it before I leave――
“Godosaki”
“……?”
“If it’s a miracle, it’ll happen, right?”
“Shoma……?”
“My injuries will heal, and I won’t have to drop out of school. That kind of miracle――will definitely happen”
“――”
“I’ll make it happen――watch me”
I left Godasaki’s hospital room without looking back.――I have no choice but to do it again.
――But, I never thought Godasaki would be so concerned about his chest injury……?
Humans are unpredictable. Thinking that, I walked towards the last hospital room.
