Chapter 18. Our Hospital Right Now (5)

 

In the end, the problem child who had fallen into gambling got severely scolded by Renate and Ron. Surprisingly, Ron really knew how to scold! He looked like a completely different person.

 

Ron continued the mental torture by alternating between tears, shouting, and lectures, while Renate just stayed quiet and stared coldly. The latter had a greater intimidating effect. Every time the problem child made eye contact with Renate, he trembled pitifully.

 

Being able to achieve maximum effect with minimum energy must be thanks to that face…

 

“Today we’re having an assembly.”

 

“Eek!”

 

“You sure like saying ‘eek.’ Bring all the guys you gambled with!”

 

It seemed like he planned to pull them out one after another like pulling sweet potato vines, now that he’d caught one properly. I waved goodbye as I watched him being dragged away by Ron’s thick arms.

 

“Wow, what a heartwarming scene.”

 

“You used to get dragged away like that often too.”

 

The twins, who had come down at some point, spoke as if lost in memories.

 

“Hey, if you put it that way, it makes me sound like…”

 

Leon stopped mid-sentence and glanced at me. More precisely, he exchanged looks with Raven, who was standing firmly behind me. Leon frowned.

 

“I just fell into traps. Because a certain ill-tempered noble person didn’t like us and often bullied us.”

 

“Yeah, traps I didn’t fall for.”

 

What kind of traps were they… Wasn’t the Academy supposed to be a place of learning and passion? Was it actually like a political arena full of deadly traps and schemes?

 

‘Why won’t they tell me the details?!’

 

They could at least tell me about innocent first love, first romance, stuff like that.

 

Of course, objectively speaking, I think it’s an admirable attitude to treasure romantic experiences as personal memories and respect the other person’s privacy. Guys who blab about memories with their lovers as drinking table gossip were truly disgusting.

 

But from my personal standpoint of not being able to attend the Academy, I wondered if I’d be struck by lightning for wanting some indirect experience. Just a little, slightly, not intimate details but just some imaginable situations to share!

 

“If you did something worth getting in trouble for, you’d get in trouble. What professor would be crazy enough to drag away students for no reason?”

 

“Raven…”

 

I was gradually realizing that Raven opening his mouth in front of the twins wasn’t a very good sign.

 

“If the professors were watching someone’s mood, that could happen.”

 

“You have severe paranoid delusions, Leon.”

 

It would be better to just shut his mouth. I covered Raven’s mouth with my hand and said to the twins.

 

“Leon, Ian. Time to get off work.”

 

“What do you mean get off work when we haven’t done any work? I’ve been watching all day but the twins don’t do any—mmph.”

 

If I covered his mouth, he should take the hint and shut up… I covered Raven’s mouth tightly again as he stubbornly removed my hand to continue speaking. Whether he gets hurt or not.

 

“Why would we have nothing to do? From maintaining security to— Ow! Are you crazy, Ian?! That hurts!”

 

Ian hit Leon hard in the ribs. It wasn’t a light tap either. He hit him hard enough to make a thudding sound. Ian smiled sweetly and said.

 

“It would be better not to make statements that could cause misunderstandings, Leon.”

 

“Wha, what, ugh.”

 

“Maintaining security—Shana might misunderstand and think we just go around picking fights.”

 

“…”

 

Should I pretend to be oblivious at times like this? I crossed my arms and fell into thought.

 

‘That’s why I said it would be better to just join the Knight’s Order…’

 

I knew the twins occasionally chased away unsavory people who wandered around the area. I also knew it was work my parents had entrusted to them.

 

As long as they weren’t fighting with the Apothecary Guild, I didn’t really want to complain about that either.

 

Naturally, sick people come to hospitals. Just look at those beastmen children who came—didn’t they arrive with limbs dangling and bleeding profusely?

 

Since this was a place people visited when weakened no matter how strong they usually were, I wanted no one to fight inside here.

 

As commonly said, I wanted to make the hospital an absolutely neutral zone.

 

But for that to happen, I needed to make people respect this place. Sadly, that inevitably required force.

 

No matter how much I insisted “I won’t treat you if you fight in the hospital!” without enforcement power, no one would listen. They would have already kidnapped Lili and Jake to sell them, and raided the hospital to steal and sell medicine.

 

It was all thanks to the twins showing Rierem Street that they weren’t to be trifled with.

 

‘But while feeling so restless…’

 

If I mentioned it was a waste of talent, we’d end up fighting again, so I decided to stop here for today.

 

“What did you say?”

 

“…Shana, you have no talent for acting, so it would be better for you to just keep your mouth shut.”

 

Ian said coldly. I could feel Lili, Raven, and Renate staring at me, making my face grow hotter and hotter.

 

If Evelyn were here at times like this, she’d hide me. Do all names starting with ‘L’ make people this honest…

 

At times like this, the only option is to be even more shameless.

 

“Anyway, go back! Go now! Leave first!”

 

“We would have left on our own without you saying anything. Since when did you care about our quitting time?”

 

“…”

 

Was I really that indifferent an employer? Leon said with a smirk.

 

“I’ll just look around once and then go. That’s fine, right?”

 

“Now you’re being completely brazen….”

 

“Do you know how wronged I felt every time you scolded me when I was doing work but couldn’t tell you about it?”

 

Leon looked relieved, as if a troublesome tooth had finally been pulled. Not even considering my position of having to stick perfectly capable kids who could succeed as knights on dangerous streets for no reason.

 

I wanted to tell them to get lost since they had nothing to do, but now it seemed I’d have to acknowledge that they were actually being helpful.

 

“I could have beaten them up.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“I could have beaten them up and chased them away….”

 

What a shame. It’s too good for me.

 

After sending off the grumbling Leon and sulking Ian, I looked at Renate. Renate was talking with Lili and looked up.

 

“Are you done now?”

 

“Sorry for making you wait….”

 

“What, it’s not like it’s been just a day or two.”

 

Sorry for fighting tirelessly…. But that’s what real siblings are like. Taking care of each other then fighting, fighting then taking care of each other.

 

The only difference was that they were siblings who unilaterally thought of each other as the younger one.

 

“So why did you call me? Were you going to introduce me to your friend who came back after a long time?”

 

Come to think of it, what was the relationship between Raven and Renate like? It seemed like they hadn’t really interacted. The longest they’d seen each other was probably on that snow plain where I first met them.

 

‘Wait, these two are the top two most handsome beauties I know!’

 

I can’t just let this pass.

 

“Yeah, that’s right. Want to say hello? You know each other’s names, right?”

 

Both of them nodded simultaneously. Then they made eye contact and greeted each other, but surprisingly, Raven wasn’t sharp like he had been with the twins and was quite docile. Renate was the same.

 

What’s this? Wait….

 

“Renate, can you come here for a moment?”

 

“Why?”

 

As always, Renate grumbled but obediently listened to me. When he came closer, I stepped away from Raven and moved next to Lili. Then I put the two of them in one frame.

 

White-haired Renate and blonde-haired Raven stood side by side.

 

“Wow….”

 

Amazing. This is insane.

 

They were stunning beauties even when seen separately, but putting them together created an insane synergy effect. This must be what they mean by a pretty person next to another pretty person.

 

It’s like a movie. Just their faces alone could produce dozens of narratives. Friendship, love, whatever you attached to them would be perfect.

 

My goodness. It seemed like they could handle tragedy, comedy, and even romantic comedy. Not to mention noir.

 

‘It’s such a shame that movies don’t exist in this world.’

 

A ten-million-viewer blockbuster would be guaranteed.

 

Even though I knew them well enough to know that Renate was thinking “What strange thoughts is she having now?” with a look of disdain, and Raven had an expression like he was about to get angry.

 

It didn’t interfere at all with the dozens and hundreds of narratives being born between them.

 

The angry face suited them in its own way, and the disdainful expression suited them in its own way too. Ah, is this what they call a visual feast!

 

“If you two could just get a little closer, ack!”

 

Raven grabbed and pulled my cheek, and Renate grabbed and pulled my ear.

 

“Ack! Ah, why!”

 

“Your eyes looked lecherous.”

 

“Wha-what!? What! Wha, wha, what lecherous? I, I didn’t think anything like that at all!”

 

Lecherous my foot! I just, just….

 

I had only thought of dozens and hundreds of beautiful narratives. But saying that outright felt somewhat resistant.

 

“In-instead of doing what you’re supposed to imagine.”

 

Raven sighed as if he was dumbfounded. I wanted to ask what kind of imagination would have been acceptable, but the atmosphere wasn’t right for it.

 

I’m someone who knows how to read the room.

 

And well, it’s not like I was imagining anything dirty. I just naturally and rightfully admired how two incredibly handsome and beautiful people made a perfect picture together.

 

Like anyone would! Like how even non-fans would shut up and save the image first!

 

I just thought they’d make a fortune if they put on suits and filmed a King*man movie!

 

That’s not even a crime!

 

Renate continued as if picking up where Raven left off.

 

“If you weren’t thinking something rude, then tell us. I’ll apologize if I was mistaken.”

 

“….”

 

It’s not a crime, but it was rude….
