"Anyway, let's sit down and talk slowly."
Seemingly without intention of quickly ending the topic, Chisato smiled faintly as she proactively took the young man's hand, pulling him toward the infirmary's inner section.
The two left the desk area like this, coming to the partition door at the infirmary's far end.
Well, couldn't really call it a partition—just a small area separated by white curtains with a single empty bed inside.
This was normally for students injured during sports, brought here for ergency bandaging while awaiting hospital personnel—temporary use. But that was extre circumstances. Overall, this bed had barely ever been used.
Chisato pulled Bokue into the partition, coming bedside to sit first. Then she raised her hand to lightly pat the empty space beside her, lifting her head with a smile.
"Co, sit."
No point refusing hospitality—Bokue naturally went with the flow.
Must say, the infirmary bed was quite sturdy. Even with two people's weight pressing down, it didn't shake one bit. Not even a single creak.
Seeing Bokue also seated, Chisato shifted position to move even closer to the young man until the two pressed right against each other before stopping.
"Alright, any other questions? Ask freely. I can answer everything until you're completely satisfied."
Speaking of questions...
"So why couldn't you tell these things personally? Had to make Ornis cannon fodder?"
Bokue was sowhat curious.
"Well..."
ntioning this topic, Chisato's expression clearly showed traces of hesitation. Simultaneously, light crimson leapt onto her cheeks.
"Mainly... I didn't want this to incur your dislike."
"?"
Bokue raised a question mark.
He couldn't understand what this had to do with dislike. Whether from Ornis's account or what Chisato herself just said—he felt no hostility from the latter toward himself.
Could even say Chisato's attitude toward him had been friendly from the start.
As they say, you don't slap smiling faces. How would friendly attitude incur dislike?
"Mmm, how should I put this..."
Chisato bit her lower lip with a flushed face.
"Actually, the one who first proposed observing you was my sister. Initially I just held an ordinarily agreeable attitude. But during observation, as my understanding of you deepened, I gradually understood Sister's thoughts. Just by then, I couldn't tell you my initial purpose anymore. Plus, if I'd rashly revealed I was one of the Ancient Ten Gods, you likely wouldn't have believed either."
True enough.
Bokue thought.
After all, he'd only learned about these so-called Ancient Ten Main Gods today—and only because a certain simp paid with his life to inform him.
If previously soone randomly ran over telling him they were an Ancient Ten God, Bokue would probably think they'd suffered chuunibyou.
What Ancient Ten Gods? Never heard of them.
Even saying you were the Biblical God who'd exhausted power and could only maintain mortal form, needing a V50 KFC al to restore power before rewarding him with twelve-wing archangel status as thanks—that would have slightly more credibility.
At least most people had heard of Biblical God's existence. At most never seen him personally.
"Exactly. To convince you, I'd have to demonstrate my power—like today's Ornis."
Getting here, Chisato's expression grew sowhat awkward.
"But that would inevitably cause conflict with you. Sothing I was unwilling to do..."
"Plus, informing others they're being observed easily incurs displeasure. After all, no one wants their life spied on by others. So I could only delay repeatedly until today, finally finding such an opportunity."
Finishing the last sentence, the school nurse carefully turned her face slightly to glance at Bokue beside her—seemingly wanting to observe whether the young man truly felt displeased.
Mmm...
Bokue covered his forehead, organizing his thoughts.
"Wait, so your sister is also..."
"Raphaeline. Also one of the Ten Gods. Simultaneously the person I most respect."
Chisato seed to have activated answer-everything mode. Hearing the young man's questioning intent, she imdiately provided the answer.
Oh, as expected.
Bokue thought.
"Tch. Though I'm happy you and your sister were willing to defend before your colleagues, I still want to ask—what's your real purpose doing this today?"
True, Ornis's appearance let him learn about the Ancient Ten Gods' existence. But clearly the forr's thods couldn't incur goodwill.
Including what Chisato now told him about how only she and her sister Raphaeline had spoken up for him back then among the Ancient Ten Gods.
Realistically speaking, just that latter point alone was enough to make Bokue consider reducing the Ancient Ten Gods to the Ancient Two Gods.
Or perhaps this was the school nurse's true purpose?
"Purpose?"
Chisato's cheeks seed to flush deeper.
"Actually no real purpose. Like I said, so things I couldn't tell you personally. So I could only relay them through Ornis's mouth."
"Oh right, actually there's one more thing I've hidden from you, Bokue."
Getting here, the school nurse unconsciously switched to a completely different intimate address—no longer using his full na but directly calling by given na.
"This matter, perhaps even now you haven't noticed. The apartnt across from yours... actually had soone living there."
Hmm?
As if instantly hearing sothing peculiar, Bokue looked over.
"When I inquired with property managent before, they told no one lived there. But now that you're saying this, Hasegawa-sensei—could the person living across from actually be..."
"It's... ."
The school nurse nodded softly.
"Because I had no suitable identity to appear beside you, moving across from your place was my only thod to observe you closely long-term. Every day after you left by elevator, I'd co to the corridor to sense your lingering presence and confirm your recent growth."
"I know doing this doesn't conform to common etiquette, so..."
Before finishing, Bokue heard rustling clothes-removing sounds beside him.
Turning to look, he saw the certain school nurse had already removed the white coat she permanently wore everywhere, revealing beneath it the mature perfect figure outlined by a sleeveless knit vest. She turned her face—flushed nearly to bleeding—aside.
"If you're still displeased about observing you before, Bokue, you can freely vent on now. Until you're thoroughly satisfied."
"Using... this body of mine."
