"There are so many skills?"
Mizuhara Chizuru opened her eyes wide in surprise, finding it hard to believe.
As a seasoned player, she was well aware of the preciousness of skills. Most of the items in the daily Blind Box were miscellaneous junk, such as food, drinks, and toilet paper. A small portion were items with special effects, and among them, skills were the rarest.
Up until now, she only knew one skill in total.
But at this moment, after holding hands, she could clearly see that the boy in front of her had more than a dozen skills.
Mizuhara Chizuru suddenly understood something. Ambition does not depend on age; the high school student in front of her was clearly a Super High School Level player.
"Chizuru-nee, I suggest you choose the Dark Shadow skill." Fujiwara Chika said from the side, "Although your clothes will fall off when you transform, it's super useful."
Mizuhara Chizuru was still a bit confused: "Choose a skill... What does that mean?"
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"Simply put, it's using a Touch of Destiny to Copy and Paste a skill for you. However, the pasted skill is temporary, and only one can be pasted at a time."
"..."
Mizuhara Chizuru's pink lips parted slightly, her gaze falling on the dark golden skill "Touch of Destiny." She suddenly believed that the high school students in front of her had formed a mutual aid alliance in reality.
Being able to give others skills, even if they're just temporary skills, is super amazing!
In comparison, she didn't seem like a university senpai at all.
"Hoo..."
Mizuhara Chizuru took a deep breath to calm herself, "Let me take a look first... What is Evil Spirit Banishing?"
"It's a skill that can dispel evil spirits in the real world." Fujiwara Chika acted as an explainer from the side, "Unfortunately, it can only be used in reality and not in dungeons."
Mizuhara Chizuru blinked: "Planting Mushrooms... There's even a skill like that? And it's purple?"
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"It's like the Seven Deadly Sins often seen in movies. You can plant mushrooms on others and then detonate the sins... The skill level is too high, so it can't be Copy and Paste."
"I remember now." The rental girlfriend's eyes shifted, "The first time we met, you had a mushroom on your head."
Fujiwara Chika explained: "The mushroom is very noticeable, so everyone can confirm their identity when they see it."
"Eh, wait a moment." Mizuhara Chizuru's gaze suddenly focused, and she asked expectantly, "In the Touch of Destiny state... Can you also replenish other people's vitality? What about sick patients?"
Facing the passerby player's expectant gaze, Amamiya Natsuki nodded:
"Yes."
Mizuhara Chizuru immediately bowed ninety degrees: "Natsuki-kun, please, you must help me!"
"Is Chizuru-nee sick?" Fujiwara Chika asked curiously.
Mizuhara Chizuru said softly:
"It's my grandmother... She's sick and hospitalized. When I went to the Hospital to visit her, that's when the dungeon was triggered. If possible, I want to alleviate my grandmother's suffering."
Amamiya Natsuki had never considered using Touch of Destiny for healing and saving people, as there were no sick people around him.
"Let's clear the dungeon first." Amamiya Natsuki said, "Now, choose a skill you want to Copy and Paste."
"Yes... I'll choose the Dark Shadow skill recommended by Chika-chan."
"Are you sure?" Fujiwara Chika reminded her, "In movies, those invisible people can't wear clothes, and the skill to merge into shadows is the same."
Mizuhara Chizuru's expression didn't change at all. Hearing this, she smiled slightly: "It's fine, I don't mind. Life is much more important than clothes."
As expected of a female university student, her adaptability is indeed strong.
"Then that's it."
Amamiya Natsuki didn't waste any more words and pasted the Dark Shadow skill.
During this time, Mizuhara Chizuru and Chika chatted happily; another socially Apprentice girl.
Several minutes passed in a flash.
"Done."
Amamiya Natsuki released his right hand, took half a step back, and created some distance.
Looking at the temporary skill added to her panel, Mizuhara Chizuru pursed her pink lips, took out a pair of gloves, and bowed in apology:
"I'm sorry about what happened before. These are item gloves. I got them from a dungeon. After wearing them, I can make momotaro rice ball... But it requires special raw materials, and the output isn't much. Please accept them."
There's no deal in the world that can't be made, only that the price isn't enough.
She had been unwilling to take out the item before because she didn't think it was worth it, but at this moment, in Mizuhara Chizuru's view, using the item to make momotaro rice ball in exchange for Amamiya Natsuki and the others' favor was undoubtedly a very worthwhile thing.
"Chizuru-nee, you don't have to do this." Fujiwara Chika's expression became serious, and she reached out to stop her, "We are all players. In a place like a dungeon, we should naturally help each other. We're not trying to take your item."
Seeing Mizuhara Chizuru look over, Amamiya Natsuki quickly said:
"Whatever Chika-sama says, it is. Put your item away."
It's just an item for making rice balls, not some treasure that's absolutely necessary.
Amamiya Natsuki continued:
"However, I plan to buy a few rice balls for backup later."
"No problem." Mizuhara Chizuru no longer insisted, and smiled brightly, "I'll make more rice balls as soon as possible."
"Let's go, it's time to leave."
"..."
The three activated their disguise and walked out of the secret room.
"Natsuki, come help in the kitchen." Juju poked her small face out and called, "We're getting overwhelmed."
Amamiya Natsuki walked to the kitchen door and looked, then said speechlessly:
"So many fish?"
"Just heard from Kobayashi that the event got popular, and many patients ran over to fish." Juju wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Shoko and I can't handle it. We're about to die from exhaustion."
"Let me help." Mizuhara Chizuru stepped forward and volunteered, "I often cook for myself at home."
Juju retorted, "Using child labor is illegal."
"There are no police in the dungeon," Amamiya Natsuki said, enjoying the leisure, "Komi, go get a stool for Miss Mizuhara to stand on."
Mizuhara Chizuru: "…"
After activating the disguise, she was just an elementary school student, so she really needed to step on something to reach the table.
"Mm-hmm."
Komi was exceptionally obedient and was about to move a stool upon hearing that.
"No need." Mizuhara Chizuru quickly reached out to stop her. As a university student, stepping on a stool would be too embarrassing. "Um, is it okay to remove the disguise in the back kitchen?"
"No problem." Juju nodded, "I didn't activate my disguise. Basically, no one will come over. If you hear a sound, just hide."
"That's good."
Mizuhara Chizuru quickly removed her disguise, and a tall, black-haired, straight-haired girl appeared in the kitchen.
"Hmm…" Juju observed for a moment, then turned to Komi, "Her hairstyle and height are very similar to Shoko's."
If Komi went to university, their similarity might be even higher.
Amamiya Natsuki looked at Komi upon hearing this and commented:
"I think Komi is cuter."
"…"
Upon hearing the compliment, Komi's black hair trembled slightly, and she quickly lowered her head to look at her toes, but a blush clearly spread rapidly across her profile.
"Heh heh."
Juju crossed her arms, looking over with disdain.
Amamiya Natsuki said seriously, "Of course, Juju is cuter."
Juju-sama pointed towards the door, "You, out."
"Yes."
Amamiya Natsuki obeyed and walked out of the kitchen.
Watching Amamiya Natsuki's back quickly disappear, Juju suddenly realized, "Eh, wait, could he be intentionally sneaking off to avoid work?"
After understanding, Juju took small steps and chased out of the kitchen, "Stupid Natsuki, hurry back and work!"
"…"
After finishing the slaughtering task, the remaining work was left to Juju and Komi. Amamiya Natsuki took elementary school student Chizuru and left the back kitchen together, heading to the restaurant in front.
There were many customers, and they didn't seem to decrease at all. Many customers even ate one portion after another, still unwilling to leave. It could only be said that Hextech cuisine was indeed tempting.
"I'll go complete the task with Miss Mizuhara first."
Amamiya Natsuki walked up to Shinomiya and whispered.
Shinomiya Kaguya softly said, "Go with Fujiwara and Hanamori."
"No need." Amamiya Natsuki shook his head, "There are too many customers, and the restaurant can't spare anyone right now. It's enough for me to go."
Even if the task couldn't be completed, escaping was certainly not a problem.
"That's settled."
Amamiya Natsuki waved his hand and left with Mizuhara Chizuru.
There was no conversation along the way.
The two soon arrived at the Hospital Ward building.
"Parking is usually based on the nearest principle. If the car is parked in the underground garage, there's a high probability that the person is in the Hospital Ward building." Mizuhara Chizuru softly explained, "Later, I secretly looked at the Hospital Ward's roster and indeed found my mother's name."
It must be said that this Miss Chizuru was quite clever.
It's just a pity her luck wasn't good.
If there hadn't been the Miss Hachishakusama escape incident, the guards would certainly not be as strict as they are now. Perhaps she really could have completed the character task by herself.
As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the Heavy Care Area of the Hospital Ward. Because Miss Hachishakusama had mysteriously escaped, the guards were obviously much stricter now.
"Natsuki-kun, should we discuss how to sneak in first?"
Mizuhara Chizuru whispered.
"No need." Amamiya Natsuki stepped forward, "We can just go straight in."
"Eh?"
Seeing that Amamiya Natsuki had no intention of stopping, Mizuhara Chizuru could only bite her lower lip and quickly followed.
He was just rushing straight in like that. Did he want to go on a rampage and fight his way through?
How could such a thing be possible!
"Sato?" A surprised cry rang out. Head nurse Miss Sasaki looked over in surprise, her bloodshot red eyes shining brightly, "Why are you here?"
Amamiya Natsuki smiled and said:
"I missed Miss Sasaki."
The nurse raised her hand to cover her face, "Sato suddenly saying something like that… I'm so shy."
Mizuhara Chizuru: "…"
Who am I?
Where am I?
What's going on with this red-eyed nurse?
Was she hypnotized?
No, in the previous skill bar, there was no hypnosis skill.
So, this look of a girl in love is too strange!
Amamiya Natsuki turned around and waved to Mizuhara Chizuru, "Mieko, come here."
Mizuhara Chizuru blinked, walked to Amamiya Natsuki's side, looked up, and said in a childish voice, "Hello, big sister."
"Ah, hello…" The nurse asked curiously, "Is Mieko Sato's relative?"
Amamiya Natsuki held elementary school student Chizuru's small hand and said:
"Not a relative… she's my daughter."
"…"
The smile on the nurse's face suddenly froze, and then blood quickly filled her bloodshot eyes. The blood vessels around her eyes distorted rapidly, as if she had activated a Sharingan.
"Sato, you never told me you had a daughter…"
The nurse's voice was dark, and the surrounding temperature rapidly dropped, with an icy chill quietly approaching.
Darn it, he overdid it!
Mizuhara Chizuru nervously took half a step back, her heart involuntarily rising.
The nurse in front of her clearly showed symptoms of going berserk and turning dark.
Amamiya Natsuki not only remained expressionless but also took half a step forward, holding the nurse's hands and saying warmly:
"Listen to my explanation first."
"I won't listen." Held by Amamiya Natsuki's hands, the crimson in the nurse's eyes stopped intensifying, but the chill remained biting. "Let go of me."
Amamiya Natsuki naturally wouldn't let go of her hands and continued:
"Mieko's mother left when she was very young. All this time, it's been just Mieko and I depending on each other, but ever since I met Miss Sasaki, I decided I wanted to start a new life… Miss Sasaki wouldn't despise me because of this, would she?"
The nurse blurted out, "Of course I wouldn't!"
"That's good." Amamiya Natsuki looked down at elementary school student Chizuru, secretly winking, "Mieko, do you accept Miss Sasaki as family?"
Mizuhara Chizuru was still a bit stunned. She had never seen a player Strategy ing a dungeon character, and the other party even agreed. She completely didn't know what was happening.
Fortunately, this elementary school student Chizuru was quite clever. Her eyes darted, she opened her arms, hugged the nurse's right leg, and raised her small face to shout:
"…Mom!"
Amamiya Natsuki: "…"
I just told you to improvise a bit, and you immediately called her Mom. You've exceeded expectations!
"M-Mom…"
The nurse covered her chest, her cheeks flushed, and the red blood vessels in her eyes quietly disappeared, leaving only pure surprise.
Just two short words successfully captivated the nurse, raising her favorability to another level. It can only be said that Miss Chizuru is quite amazing, truly worthy of being a university student.
Amamiya Natsuki explained his purpose:
"I heard discussions earlier that Miss Hachishakusama mysteriously escaped, right?"
The nurse held her hands to her chest and said faintly, "That's right. Not long after Sato left, we searched for the patient for a long time but couldn't find her."
"That's how it is." Amamiya Natsuki said, "Miss Hachishakusama and I are very familiar, so even if I meet her, I won't be afraid, but others might be. I brought Mieko here to let her recognize the patients in the Heavy Care Area, so if anyone else escapes, Mieko can call for help in time and stay far away if she sees them."
"Sato is right to consider that."
Women in love don't have much intelligence, and resentful spirits in love are the same.
After listening to Amamiya Natsuki's excuse, the nurse didn't hesitate at all and turned around, saying:
"Please follow me. I'll take you to see the patients in the Heavy Care Area."
With Sasaki, the Head nurse, present, Amamiya Natsuki and Chizuru practically swaggered in.
"Just like that… we walked in?"
Mini Chizuru was still somewhat incredulous. She had painstakingly searched for ways to get in, and in her imagination, almost all the plans involved sneaking in secretly. She had never imagined being as blatant as they were now.
What about the promised stealth?
