“TRANSLATOR:TheNix/EDITOR TheNix”

Episode 1: There are so many things I don’t know.

1

Ladies and gentlemen, do you know something called a ‘nurse’ uniform? ‘Nurse’ uniforms are the uniforms worn by nurses (female nurses), who once flourished in all hospitals. Because of its clean white color scheme, the term ‘pure white nurse’ has been become as a common term. And it seems that it is overwhelmingly enjoyed by men all over the world.

But that’s all in the past now. It is a relic of the past that has now disappeared from the field of medicine. There are various theories as to the reason for its decline. It could be the inconvenience of wearing a nurse cap on the head, or the sexual impression the uniform gives men, etc. The exact reason has not yet been elucidated.

Whatever the reason, it is no longer seen in hospitals. It seems that it is only something that can be seen in a limited number of places, none of which have to do with medical care.

There is no sun that never sets. It is a relic of the past that has been buried in repeating history. It is an example of a phenomena that can be summed up in one phrase, times change.

Since my birth I’ve never seen a nurse uniform.

「Ooof!! 」

But in this hospital, the nurse uniform actually exists. Every time I pass by a female nurse-oneesan in the hallway, I can’t help but look at them. The dazzling white coat that shows off the silhouette of the body and a short hem length.

I see, just as Tsurezure-sempai said indifferently earlier. The theme of ‘the calm and passion of nurse uniforms’, this is a costume that makes you feel simply and truly erotic. Outrageous. This is really outrageous!

That is why the next time I get hurt, I’ll definitely insist on being taken to this hospital.

This sick person who I want to kill out of hatred and is being treated more than necessary by such a sweet woman in a nurse uniform, is Yuiga Isshin. He is a third-year student who serves as the director of Nanaejima Third High School’s ‘Adventure Club’.

President Yuiga, who sits upright on the bed, looks tired but has the same bright smile as always. I heard that he was seriously ill but I’m relieved to see that he seems to be doing better than I imagined.

Waiting for the passionate and handsy nurse to leave (or rather, Ibara-sempai forcibly drove her away), I handed over the paper bag I brought for President Yuiga.

「Oh this. This is a gift from Nana-chan. 」

The item he received from the earthbound spirit that possesses my apartment is Nanana-chan’s favorite dish. An assorted set of thick baked puddings.

「Thank you for this. 」

President Yuiga, with correct posture, bows his head and receives it respectfully. I don’t think it’s necessary to be that respectful, but it’s certainly true that the gift of pudding from our home’s earthbound spirit-sama is worth as much as the former Chinese emperor’s gift of a gold seal… or not.

To be honest though, I’m a little envious.

After my gift, President Yuiga receives gifts from Tensai and D’ark and thanks them both.

「Nanana-chan was also worried. So how are your wounds? 」

「According to the doctor, I will be able to leave the hospital in about two weeks. Whatever the case, I’m glad to be alive. 」

With a refreshing smile on his face, he said something that I didn’t know was a joke or serious.

「Well I’m glad it wasn’t a big deal. By the way, I have a question to ask of you President Yuiga. 」

「What is it Juugo-kun? 」

「How did you get stabbed? 」

Hearing my serious question, President Yuiga began to giggle.

「What are you talking about Juugo-kun? I didn’t get stabbed or anything like that. I just cut my side with a knife when I fell. 」

With a refreshing smile on his face, Yuiga Isshin’s answer seemed like nothing but a painful excuse.

「So what’s the point? 」

The setting changed to a bench outside the hospital. The situation is that the 5 members of the adventure club, other than President Yuiga, have gathered and are facing each other.

It was Yun-chan, also known as Yoshina Saki-chan, who stabbed President Yuiga. It was on Saturday, the day before yesterday, when I received an e-mail from Tsurezure Kagetora-senpai, who is in charge of espionage in the adventure club. When I first saw the content I couldn’t believe it. This must be a bad joke, but I can’t imagine Tsurezure-senpai making such a joke. I was greeted at the beginning of this week with a feeling of discontent.

I immediately went to Yun-chan’s first year class, but Yun-chan took the day off. Tetsu-kun, who is in the same class as me and is Yun-chan’s bodyguard, is also on vacation.

I finally went to visit after school thinking it’s not that bad. And then President Yuiga was so white, as mentioned before. I just couldn’t grasp the situation.

Ibara-senpai, a third year student who is the Vice President of the adventure club, answered my questions. She spoke about the circumstances of the incident with a difficult expression on her face.

「It was after school last Friday. On Isshin-sama’s orders I went to the first year class and talked to Saki Yoshino. 」

Speaking of last Friday, that was the day I took off from school to undergo a thorough examination. It was also the day when Tensai came to see me to decide what to do with ownership of the Nanana Collection <<Holy Spear Fragment>> that I had just acquired at South Red Mall after school.

It seems that Yuiga made contact with Yun-chan in a place we didn’t know about.

Ibara-senpai continued, 「I left my seat for awhile to let Isshin-sama and Saki Yoshino be alone for a bit. When I came back to see how Isshin-sama was doing I found him lying and bleeding. I called an ambulance immediately. Isshin-sama is joking around now but honestly it would have been dangerous if he had been discovered much later. In fact, until yesterday he hadn’t regained consciousness. 」

That seems to be the outline of what happened last Friday.

「Ibara-senpai, why did Yuiga-senpai reach out to Yun-chan? 」

「I haven’t heard. 」

I look at Tsurezure-senpai and see him shake his head. I don’t think he knows.

「Hmmm, sometimes I just don’t get it. 」

The one who just said this was the first year girl who calls herself a great detective, Tensai. She was standing next to me.

「What do you want, chibi? 」

「Ibara-dono, why did Yuiga-dono tell you such a lie? 」

President Yuiga said he accidentally stabbed himself in the stomach with a knife. I agree with Tensai. There’s no way anyone could believe that. But that’s not all I’m concerned about.

「I’m also curious about what Ibara-senpai said before entering President Yuiga’s hospital room. 」

When we were visiting earlier we didn’t check with Yuiga, the person who was stabbed, if it was Yun-chan who did it. We didn’t because ibara-senpai said don’t ask Isshin-sama anything about Saki Yoshino.

Ibara-senpai reluctantly begins to speak to us when we start to ask such questions.

「In fact, when Isshin-sama regained consciousness he stopped me. 」

「President Yuiga did? 」

「Yeah. Isshin-sama had been stabbed and taken to the hospital and remained unconscious until Sunday evening. In the meantime, Kagetora and I pursued the culprit, Saki Yoshino. I thought it would be best to inform the Adventure Club members, Juugo and the others. That’s why I asked Kagetora to send out an email , but…」

「When he regained consciousness, the very first thing he said was, ‘I want to hide the fact that Saki Yoshino was the one who stabbed me, so please give me your cooperation.’ 」

Ibara-senpai’s words were backed by Tsurezure-senpai, who stood with his arms folded. When I heard this I was shocked. In other words, it was definitely Yun-chan who stabbed President Yuiga. I was upset.

Tensai asked Tsurezure-senpai, “I don’t understand, Tsurezure-dono. Why is Yuiga-dono protecting Saki Yoshino, the one who stabbed him? 」

「I have no idea. 」

「And all this fuss. Isn’t it true that the police are silent about it? 」

It was at the school that Yuiga was found covered in blood, and an ambulance was dispatched. Not only school officials, but also many students who stayed at school for club activities witnessed the bloody body of Yuiga. There were rumors and there are various speculations about the cause flying around the school.

「Now that Isshin has regained consciousness, he’s about to be questioned by police. As I told you earlier, Isshin wants to hide the fact that Saki Yoshino was responsible and move on. 」

In other words, does that mean that the fact that Yui-chan stabbed President Yuiga is being covered up by President Yuiga when he was the victim?

「Got it. …By the way Ibara-dono」

「What is it, chibi? 」

「Is there anything missing from the room? 」

「? I don’t think anything was missing. 」

Tensai, who asked a somewhat off-topic question, nodded ‘I see’ and continued.

「So Ibara-dono, Tsurezure-dono. I would expect that Yuiga-dono would want to keep this cover-up a secret from me, D’arc, and Juugo. Am I wrong? 」

I agree with this. Considering the history and betrayal President Yuiga so far, it’s hard to imagine him exposing his inner self to us.

Tsurezure-senpai and Ibara-senpai look at each other. Then Tsurezure-senpai opened his mouth.

「It’s just as that 1st year Kohai said. I was told to keep this secret from the 2nd years as well. But I had already sent you an email, and even more than that, as a member of the adventure club I decided that I should tell you all the truth. 」

It seems that this is the creed of Tsurezura-senpai.
