Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Recovery
Ps: I edited chapter 20, it's not so edgy anymore, you can re-read if you want.]
----
With an empty look in his eyes, Kurokai kept staring blankly out of the window.
Just a moment ago his innocence was stolen from him.
An old hag kissed him 26 times.
26 fcking times.
That was his first kiss!
And she took it from him!
With that stretchable mouth of hers!
I'll remember this recovery girl!
Kurokai made a mental note to himself to never act like a shounen protagonist who gets beaten then gains everyone's favour ever again!
Never!
No chance!
His body will can never forget this trauma!
Just then the room's slid open revealing a familiar figure in a green and white dress.
"The police have gone away...how are you feeling?"
Hero Scarlet asked as she closed the door and entered the room holding a poly bag in hand.
"I feel alright now."
Kurokai replied while staring at the polu bag in her hand.
"I brought what you asked....."
She took out packets of snacks from the bag and handed them to Kurokai.
"Thanks for the trouble!", Kurokai received them gladly, opened one up and started enjoying it's taste.
Seeing the scene, Hero Scarlet couldn't help but complain in her mind in a low voice.
'He's completely different from before!....he is a kid after all....'
She thought in her mind.
But still.
It was quite nice, seeing this side of him.
"You know the doctor said to avoid any junk food...."
Kurokai replied with a smile
"Then we are a partner in crime."
"Hmph! Whose your partner in crime?"
"Of course it's you!"
"You..."
Hero Scarlet raised her hand and lightly hit Kurokai's head.
"I convinced the police not to tell your mother, but are you sure about this?"
"Why give her any unnecessary worry?"
"That's true...wait! Don't try to make it sound like what you did was not a big thing!"
"Haha, that's even more for a reason not to inform her."
Hero Scarlet fell silent, using her hand she lightly rubbed Kurokai's hair.
Although he normally acted like a child, when it came down to it he was highly perceptive.
She didn't know whether it was a good or bad thing.
Withdrawing her hand, Hero Scarlet turned around and said.
"I need to go back to work now."
She stopped at the ward's door before continuing.
"I have left my number in your phone, if you need anything help then make sure to give me a call."
"I will!"
Kurakai said as he waved her goodbye.
But Hero Scarlet didn't leave.
Instead, she stood still at the door and kept looking at him for a moment before releasing her breath and saying in a small voice.
"....and thank you.....Once again."
Kurokai simply smiled in return and kept Waving his hand.
Giving him one last look, Hero Scarlet left the room.
After seeing that she was gone, Kurokai's smile instantly left his face as he yawned in boredom.
"Finally gone, It was getting a little hard to continue acting."
Kurokai munched down on his snack.
But just when he thought he would be able to get some real rest time.
*Bam*
With a loud sound, the ward's door was slammed open.
"Kurokai-kun!"
Who else could it be? But his fellow classmates Midoriya, Todoroki, Ida.....even Eraser Head?
The corners of Kurokai's mouth twitched as he watched them unceremoniously enter his room.
Midoriya asked: "Kurokai-kun are you okay?!"
Kurokai replied: " Yes..."
Ida asked: "Kurokai I think the villain who beat you up might be an accomplish of Hero Killer Stain!"
Kurokai: "....I don't know."
Tidoroki said: " My dad said you should simply focus on rest, he will send you the internship completion letter later."
Kurokai simply returned a smile.
Then the four of them started chatting with each other, they were after all the patient's information the same hospital.
Of course, it was mostly Kurokai simply nodding every now and then and the other three going on and on by themselves.
Perhaps feeling a little annoyed, Teacher Eraser Head suddenly interjected.
"Okay stop, let me talk."
The three instantly fell silent.
Eraser Head looked at Kurokai.
"I told you to take care of yourself."
" Yes, sensei!"
"But you failed to do so."
"Yes, sensei!"
".....will you do it again?"
"Yes sens-I mean, No I won't sensei!"
"....."
Eraser Head picked his nose and clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"So how do you plan to pass the written exam? Since you have hardly attended any classes."
"Huh?"
