Chapter 20: Visitation

The next day

Kiss in the Dark: It’s probably boring being in the hospital, right? I thought you needed something to kill the time, so I bought you some magazines. I don’t know if you’ll like them though…

Manhattan: Oh, fashion magazines and beauty magazines! There’s nothing to do when you’re in the hospital, so these are nice! What do you think about reading these and studying from them?

MC: Huh…

Adonis: It’s alright. You don’t have to read or study from those… You’re perfect just the way you are.

White Lady: But but! I want to see what you’d look like if you were just as cool as the people in these magazines! Take notes

American Lemonade: Nice, nice! I wonder if I would like to have free time like this…? Ah, toss one my way!

Nurse: I’m sorry…but could you please lower your voices

Manhattan: Oh our bad, sorry. We got too excited

American Lemonade: Woah, that nurse is so cute! Amazing, she’s welcome to take my blood!

Emerald Mist: Refrain yourself from doing anything stupid like picking up girls at a hospital. Have you no morals? How about I take all your blood and make you shut up forever?

Tequila Sunrise: You’re pretty lively today too, huh, Emerald Mist. Did something happen with Long earlier?

Long Island Iced Tea: So this is a hospital? So that means they have scalpels and forceps here, right? I wonder where the surgery room is… It’ll be okay if I go looking for it, right?

Emerald Mist: Are you confusing the hospital with a testing ground!? Is that really okay? If you take just one step out of this room, I swear, I’m going to throw away all your dissection goods.

Long Island Iced Tea: H-have mercy! I-I’ll behave like an adult…maybe.

Caipirihna: You keep looking at the hallway. You have this aura like you’re going to jump once you spot a doctor.

Caipiroska: Please restrain yourself today, Long. I don’t want to make a scene in the hospital she’s staying at.

Dirty Mother: By the way, how is the hospital food? Are you able to eat enough? How many times can you refill your plate without getting in trouble?

MC: (How many times… I don’t think there is anyone who does that at a hospital)

Gimlet: Because hospital food puts more focus on quality than quantity and taste, I think it’s not enough. So that’s why…I made you a smoothie. I snuck it in through the kitchen.

Manhattan: Gimlet! When did you even…! Ah, don’t open it here! You’re going to stink up the place!

Gimlet: Huh? But I took the time to make it… She wants to drink is anyways, right? You’re already bored of hospital food, right?

MC: Huh!?..W-well, I…

Screwdriver: Okay, okay! When you visit someone in a hospital, you should eat apples instead of drinking a smoothie! So I’m gonna peel some now!

*peeling sound*

Seventh Heaven: Ugh…My shadow has disappeared upon seeing the image of the apple. Even if that pitiful fruit were to disappear, its scent would remain further still…no?

Sidecar: Huh, what a waste. Hand me another apple, I’ll peel it.

Jack Rose: Oh, you made it in the shape of a rabbit. That’s so cute, it seems like Sidecar can even make it into a dog or a cat.

Sidecar: Alright, here you go. You can eat it as is, they’re in season now anyways.

MC: Wow! Thank you!

Pink lady: If there’s any left, can I have one too? The rabbit you made was soo cute!! I’m so gonna upload this to Puitter*!

Mistia Royale: Yeah, it’s cute and fluffy and snug, and it looks so delicious…

Salty Dog: …hey, why is everyone behaving so normal? We don’t know why she was hurt, and we still haven’t hear from Tom Collins and everyone else!

MC: Ah…about that… (What do I do… If I tell them that this is Mimosa’s fault, then I’ll have to explain to them what’s going on with Tom Collins and everyone else..)

Kamikaze: Well since the person who is hospitalized looks like she doesn’t want to talk about it, we’re waiting patiently now.

Blue Moon: That’s right, Salty Dog. It’s fine, just be glad that she’s going well now.

Manhattan: Oh, speaking of which, master is in the hospital too! Hey, Salty Dog, let’s go visit him!

Salty Dog: But…I wanna know why! I wanna meet gramps but…

Emerald Mist: Ah….How long are you going to say that? We’re not getting anywhere with this. Manhattan, take him away.

Blue Moon: I’m gonna go too. I’ll be seeing you later.
