Chapter 29 Part 2

「I’m going to take a break.」

「Yes~. Good work~.」

Done accompanying the doctor on her round, Shiho returned to the waiting room of the surgery department on the first floor, put the medical records and other things in her hands in their designated places, called out to her colleagues, and left the room.

Partly because it was nearly mid-afternoon when she entered the large break room in the basement of the hospital, vacant seats were all over the place.

In addition to vending machines, which offered not only beverages, but also cup noodles and snacks, lined up against the wall, there were also vendors who came to sell bento during lunchtime.

Shiho, who managed to make it just in time before the vendors closed up and bought a salmon bento from among the remaining items, took a seat in the corner and enjoyed her late lunch.

As opposed to eating with her co-workers while chatting about trivial matters, Shiho ate alone, so she went and finished her meal in no time.

「What should I do after this, I wonder?」

After throwing the empty container in the trash, Shiho wondered to herself.

There was still more than half of the break time left.

Having said that, it was not enough to do anything worthwhile outside.

The smaller break room, which was similarly located in the basement, was stocked with weekly magazines, but it also doubled as a smoking room, so it was probably full of smoke by now.

The weather looked nice, so she thought she might as well go to the rooftop and stare absentmindedly at the outside.

However, when she was alone and doing nothing, she inevitably ended up recalling a certain boy.

Even though there was no way she would ever be able to be united with that boy, who was ten years younger than her, he had left behind an indelible presence in Shiho’s mind.

As a nurse, even though she was blessed with the opportunity to meet men, they were all elderly people who were twice her age or older.

Once, there was even a time when a man in his sixties asked her, 「Are you interested in coming to my place?」.

In short, he was more of a caregiving subject than a husband.

As expected, she declined in a roundabout way.

When she heard that for once, a young man was admitted to the hospital and entered the VIP room, she only thought it would be nice if she could catch a glimpse of him, but to her surprise, she was selected as a member of the team in charge, and she certainly ended up flying to the cloud nine.

Moreover, his figure when he was in comatose state was more beautiful than any of the men she had seen in magazines or on CRTs, so much so that she ended up wondering if an angel was sleeping there.

However, given that he was a young man, she was more nervous than ever, and she mobilized all her self-control when she nursed him.

When he regained consciousness, his demeanor was magnanimous, kind, and tolerance to a degree rarely seen in young men.

When she encountered the so-called Lucky Sukebe incidents, which she had only seen in creative works, it was on the level where she had no choice but to make progress in her private-digging work when she got home.

To date, she must have ended up ruminating over the events when he was there dozens, no, hundreds of times.

「Not good. If I’m not doing something, I…」

Although she was young as a nurse, she, who was highly regarded for her work, was busy.

When she was working, she was busy with orders from the doctors, monitoring the state of the patients, or arranging preparations for surgeries, so she had no time to think about useless things.

However, when she suddenly had a moment to herself, she would end up thinking about that boy, Hirose Yuu, even when she was in the hospital, which made her feel ashamed of herself.

She met Yuu on the day of his first examination after he was discharged from the hospital.

Just when she took a short break, she was told by a senior with whom she teamed up in the VIP room.

「Yuu-sama is making a visit to the hospital」, she said.

Thanks to this, albeit only for about 10 minutes, she was able to talk with Yuu, and she was in a happy mood throughout the day.

However, from the following week onward, their schedule didn’t match, so she was unable to meet him.

To begin with, she had known that when young men were receiving examinations, they would use the room on the edge of the surgical ward.

That said, there was no way she could go there frequently if she was haunted by work.

She casually tried going there during break time, but either because he had already finished or because he came afterwards, in the end, she didn’t get to meet him.

From time to time, Shiho was assailed with the urge to go to the VIP room.

Even now, she was planning to go to the rooftop, but after getting off at the top floor, she wandered down the hallway as opposed to heading for the stairs.

She tried touching the door leading to the VIP rooms for men.

It was empty because no one had used it since Yuu was discharged from the hospital, but given the nature of the place, it should have been locked.

It wasn’t like she expected it to be unlocked or anything, but when she grasped the doorknob and turned it lightly, the door ended up opening with a clank.

「Oh my?」

She quietly opened the door and tried peeking in, but there was no sign of anyone being there.

「Did they forget to lock the door?」

She had never heard of the VIP room being used after Yuu’s discharge.

Even so, cleaners and fixture replacing and replenishing workers sometimes come in there.

It was possible that they forgot to lock the door when they did come.

「J, just a bit. I’ve come here and all, so it’s okay, right?」

Three weeks had passed since Yuu was discharged from the hospital, so there was no way for his scent to still remain in the room.

Even so, if she went to that room, she felt like she would be able to immerse herself in the memories of Yuu.

Shiho locked the door from the inside as she entered.

The top floor was uninhabited and quiet, but she did it just in case.

And then, stepping softly so as to make sounds with her footsteps, she moved toward the hospital room where Yuu used to be hospitalized.

「Kuh… Ahh!」

When she arrived in front of the room, she suddenly felt like she heard a man’s voice.

O, oh me. Do I want to see Yuu-sama so much that I’ve even started hearing things? … Sigh, this is a serious illness.

Shaking her head, she took another look to her left and right to make sure there was no sign of anyone, then quietly opened the hospital room door.

「Th, that… feels… good. Mi… o….」

No way? It wasn’t a mishearing?!

When Shiho entered the room, her ears certainly heard a voice this time.

Feeling the need to make sure of it, Shiho quickly strode toward the bed.

There, she found Yuu, who hastily put on the quilt, lying sprawled on the bed.

「Wha!」

「Ah… Y, Yuu-sama?!」

Seeing the unbelievable sight, Shiho stood stock still there with her hands over her mouth.

That was because the figure of Yuu, whom she missed so much that she even ended up dreaming about him in the end, was there for real.

「Shiho…san. Ah, thank goodness. I missed you so much.」

「…!」

Even if it was just lip service, Shiho was so happy that she couldn’t stand it.

Before she knew it, her vision became blurry.

Looking at Yuu’s bashful face, her mouth naturally loosened up.

Holding the corners of her eyes, Shiho said

「Sheesh, Yuu-sama, what are you doing in such a place?」

「Aah… Err, the result of the examination, when I was told by the doctor that there was nothing wrong with me, perhaps because I felt relieved, I felt sleepy, so I thought about asking you to allow me to take a rest here, or something. I, I mean, look, the beds here are so comfortable to sleep in, after all.」

「Sheesh, truthfully speaking, you are not allowed to do that, you know?」

「Ugh…. I’m sorry.」

She honestly thought that being able to obediently apologize at times like this was one of Yuu’s good points.

After all, most male patients would either persist in keeping their silence or snap back when they were rebuked by the nurses.

「It is okay. In return, I got to see you after all, Yuu-sama.」

Shiho slowly moved toward the bed.

Since a while ago, she had been concerned by the fact that the lower half of Yuu’s body was unusually bulging.

For someone who was holding up his knees, it was strange for the bulge to go all the way to his toes.

It was as if someone else had gotten into the quilt.

When she took a look to the side, she saw a white nurse’s cap. Why was there such a thing in such a place?

「Yuu-sama, is there, something you are hiding from me?」

「Ugh… Th-th-th, that’s not true, you know?」

Yuu’s eyes swam around with all their might.

「I will not get mad at you, so please be honest with me.」

「You really won’t get mad?」

When Yuu, who was 10 years younger than her, looked at her with spoiled eyes, *squee* a creaking sound echoed in the depth of Shiho’s chest, which ended up making her feel pained.

「If it is you, Yuu-sama… No matter what you do to me, there is no way there would be anything, that would ever make me mad….」

The quilt was slowly rolled up by Yuu’s hand.

Shiho’s heart jumped as she could see a glimpse of his skin, the part around his stomach, directly.

The next moment, however, she was hit by a shock.

That was because there, she found Mio, with the front of her white coat open, her breasts exposed, and Yuu’s naked penis sandwiched between her voluptuous breasts.

「Huh…? I, I have been found… Wait, Kajio-senpai?!」

「Ta, Takano?! You, what in the world are you doing?!」

A hysterical voice, so unlike the usual Shiho, echoed through the room.
