Chapter 5: Hana-chan broken?
Eren slowly opened his eyes and found himself in a familiar hospital bed. Realizing that other people were next to him, he quickly closed his eyes again and pretended to be asleep.
While hoping that everything he experienced before he passed out was a dream, Eren continued to listen and heard a familiar cold female voice.
He couldn't quite control the coldness in her voice because the doctor, who just happened to be the son of the head doctor, told her that they had found the boy's identity.
As Hana fearfully prayed that Eren wouldn't have a family and wondered if she would be thrown in prison for cheating Eren, the doctor continued to speak without realizing anything. "The hospital taking care of Eren's health is a specialty hospital and it seems that they have done everything they can to keep Eren alive since he was a child. According to the report, not long ago, Eren took the initiative to leave the hospital himself, thinking that he was nearing the end of his life."
Seeing that the doctor was getting further away from her main question, Hana took the initiative to ask about Eren's family situation. "What about his family?!... ahem! I mean, well, have you been able to reach his family members?"
Hana couldn't control her tone for a moment and the doctor looked at her strangely, but he answered her question. "I already told you that he was an orphan since he was born. According to my research, he has no friends and no acquaintances. The only answer to the question of who is closest to him is probably the nurse who has been in charge of him for the last two years. Even though the hospital provides free services to orphans, it's mainly to improve their public image. So there has never been a doctor specifically assigned to him."
Hana was obviously very happy to hear these words, but she tried not to show it. "Okay, you can leave Eren and me alone. If he doesn't want to stay in the hospital, I'll take him home as soon as he wakes up."
The doctor, who made people feel rude and stupid, was about to open his mouth and say that Eren should stay here because he might survive a sudden heart attack or something like that, but Hana stopped him from speaking. "I know what you're going to say, you don't have to worry, I'm going to take some time off one of these days and stay home with Eren."
The conversation didn't end there, the doctor checked his notes and started talking about Eren's favorite things.
Meanwhile, Eren was lost in his own thoughts. Apparently, the owner of the body he had migrated to had the same name as him. Moreover, it seemed that this boy was in charge and had no family members, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing because now Eren had no new family members to deal with, which was a good thing for someone who had traveled to a parallel world.
Just as the system screens that only he could see reappeared in front of his eyes, he heard an important sentence from the conversation between the doctor and Hana; "Also Ms. Hana, you need to be careful about something because Eren is only 16 years old, of course, this is not a problem because he has no family, but the process of taking him into your home is not official and if there is a problem, you will be seen as 100% at fault by the police"
When Hana heard that Eren was underage, she immediately turned around with a flushed face and tried not to show her expression to the doctor. As soon as Eren saw her flushed and perverted expression, he closed his eyes again, scared. Fortunately, Hana wasn't paying attention to him and Eren wasn't exposed.
As Eren forced himself to calm down to avoid having a heart attack again, he called up the system screens again to distract himself and looked at them.

Eren ignored the silence in the room and looked at the system seriously. After looking at the rewards for a while, he chose the middle one without hesitation.
Eren opened his profile to see the awards he received and checked them.

As Eren looked at the plus signs next to each statistic, he became so excited that a pain shot through his heart. Being in a sick body was still unfamiliar to Eren and he kept forgetting that he had to keep his composure.
Eren had to pretend to wake up with a pained expression on his face. Hana immediately came to him, worried, and took his hand. "Are you in pain, my love? I'll call the doctors right away."
Knowing that he would soon be on the road to healing himself using the system, Eren knew he had to get as far away from the doctors as possible and immediately grabbed Hana's hand hard and looked her in the eyes. "I don't want to be here anymore, Hana-chan. Let's go home now."
Eren was waiting to leave as soon as possible when he saw Hana suddenly blushing and fainting after stammering a reply to him. "O-okay l-love, a-as long as y-you w-want..."
Hana's cold character was broken, but luckily only Eren was with her.
Sighing, Eren regretted that he couldn't leave this place right away and used the button next to his bed to call a nurse and have her put Hana on the empty bed next to him.
