The next morning, Tachibana had just changed into her Nurse uniform in the changing room when she ran into Kurokawa, who was also a Nurse.
"You look well, Tachibana," Nurse Kurokawa walked up to her, smiling and staring at her face. "How was it? You saw that legendary patient last night, right? How do you feel?"
"I don't feel anything."
"How could that be? The rumors about him have spread throughout the hospital. Not just me, many Nurses are curious about him, and…" Kurokawa made a vulgar gesture, "Didn't Doctor Amamiya say she wanted to help him with that? Tachibana, you must have tried it, right?"
Tachibana gave Kurokawa a speechless glance, smoothed her hair, and after a long silence, slowly said, "I can only say that seventy-three times might be true."
"No way?!"
Kurokawa was immediately shocked and wanted to press for more, but Tachibana clearly didn't want to explain further. She didn't give her a chance to pester her and left directly. Kurokawa took out her phone, sent these messages to the other Nurses, and then showed a strange smile.
"Doctor Amamiya, I'm here to ask about the patient who was admitted last night."
She arrived at the doctor's office.
"Oh? Isn't Tachibana the nurse in charge of him? Kurokawa, why are you here?"
"Nurse Tachibana is very busy and doesn't have time, so she asked me to come and ask about the situation."
In front of the doctor, the usually ill-tempered Nurse Kurokawa—who normally looked ready to cause trouble at any moment—suddenly became well-behaved, putting on a diligent and professional attitude. However, not only were the nurses in this hospital unusual; the doctors were just as abnormal.
The woman named Amamiya immediately lit up with excitement. "There are no concrete discoveries yet, but Kazuma's physical condition far exceeds that of ordinary people. He's constantly getting stronger and doesn't resemble a patient at all. I have a feeling there's an incredible secret hidden within his body."
"It's just that we can't detect it yet…"
A secret?
Kurokawa's interest was immediately piqued. "Doctor Amamiya, could the rumored seventy-three times really be true?"
"Based on current observations, it's almost certainly true…" Doctor Amamiya stroked her chin thoughtfully. "If we can obtain his essence, we should be able to detect something. The most abnormal and special thing about him is his seemingly infinite energy. If we can collect some samples, I'm certain I can uncover his secret!"
"Kurokawa, I'll leave this matter to you. That should be possible, right?"
Ah… collect that?
Nurse Kurokawa forced a stiff smile. "No problem, Doctor Amamiya. I'll inform Tachibana."
Kurokawa took advantage of Nurse Tachibana's absence to go to Kazuma's ward. He was playing on his phone at the moment.
It was a gift from Miss Izumi, and having a phone really was much more convenient, so Kazuma gladly accepted it. Akane Nanao and the others had originally planned to visit him at the hospital today, but Kazuma refused. He was already in good condition, and besides, they still had classes.
Chatting on Line was enough.
"Hmm? Where's Miss Tachibana?"
Kazuma looked up when he noticed an unfamiliar nurse entering the room.
"You've already gotten so familiar with Nurse Tachibana after just one night?" Kurokawa said with a smile. "Is that guy really that popular? She's clearly cold and unpleasant. Are you two getting along well?"
"Miss Tachibana is indeed a bit harsh, but at least she can satisfy my needs," Kazuma replied, eyeing the nurse strangely. "As for you, I get the feeling you're even nastier than she is."
Kurokawa didn't seem bothered at all and puffed out her chest. "That's really hurtful to hear. So how did she satisfy you? Did she do it with you? Can you tell me? Did she really go all out?"
"Do you actually have something to say?" Kazuma ignored her question and asked instead.
"Doctor Amamiya wants to perform a semen examination on you." Kurokawa's gaze drifted downward, and her pupils shrank slightly. Hearing about it and seeing it in person were completely different experiences. Seeing it with her own eyes was far more shocking.
Perhaps Doctor Amamiya was right. He definitely had a secret.
"An examination?"
Kazuma raised an eyebrow.
"Mr. Kazuma, you look quite uncomfortable. Coincidentally, I can help you relieve it. You should be very willing, right?"
Her words sounded ambiguous, as if she were about to sacrifice herself for the sake of the examination—something most men would find difficult to refuse. However, Kazuma noticed the electric baton she pulled from her pocket and immediately frowned in confusion.
"This is what you mean by helping me?"
"I heard you've been having trouble calming it down and that it's bothering you. Electrical stimulation can enhance the sensation. Don't worry, it will definitely solve your problem!"
"Get lost! Which eye saw that I was bothered?! And I'm not interested in this kind of thing," Kazuma snapped, pulling the blanket over himself. "Pervert. Stay away from me, or I'll scream!"
"Don't be so stingy. I can give you some benefits…"
Damn it, these nurses really are all abnormal. If I were just an ordinary person, they'd probably play me to death. Kazuma felt his head starting to ache.
"What are you doing?!"
A savior appeared.
Kurokawa froze and quickly turned toward Tachibana with a bright smile. "Oh, Tachibana, you're here. It's nothing. Doctor Amamiya needs a semen sample, so I came to help."
"Semen sample?" She stared at Nurse Kurokawa with unconcealed suspicion in her eyes, but still didn't speak. "I understand, but I'm the Nurse in charge of Kazuma. I'll handle this. You can leave."
"Hey, Tachibana, I'm helping you, you know? Are you really willing to do that kind of thing with him?" Kurokawa was astonished.
"You can leave."
She repeated again.
"..."
The two nurses locked eyes, tension crackling between them. In the end, Kurokawa threw up her hands in surrender.
Even as she turned to leave, she was still grinding her teeth. Meeting Kazuma's playful gaze, she shot him one last furious glare before stomping off with her stun baton.
When the ward finally fell silent, Kazuma let a faint smile curve his lips.
"She wasn't wrong, you know. That Nurse was helping you in a way, so why did you refuse?"
Tachibana calmly checked his temperature and replied evenly, "Do you enjoy being electrocuted? If you do, I can arrange it."
"Who would enjoy that?!"
"I already told you. Aside from me, the other nurses are far more dangerous. If you want to avoid trouble, don't get involved with them."
"She came to me first. It's not like I was looking for trouble," Kazuma said, sounding wronged.
Tachibana stiffened slightly, then continued as though nothing had happened. "My mistake. I won't let her in next time."
Hearing Tachibana's words, Kazuma looked up in surprise, only to find that while the beautiful Nurse's face was expressionless, the disdain from last night, and that look of seeing him as trash, had vanished from her face and eyes.
Oh? Her attitude toward me has changed.
Of course, only Tachibana knew the reason. She, and the other Nurses at the hospital, though ill-tempered, were very protective of their bodies and purity.
When such an odd patient suddenly appeared, they were naturally displeased.
However, after a day of interaction, Tachibana discovered that Kazuma wasn't the kind of dirty fellow with evil thoughts.
Aside from the 'work' she proposed last night, he had never made a single demand.
Every time she came to check on him, she watched him remain hard from last night until now, and she even felt a bit of admiration. This guy could really endure.
Doesn't it hurt?
"Tachibana-san, compared to last night, you're much cuter now."
"Mr. Kazuma, compared to when we met last night, you're much more pleasant to look at now."
Kazuma slid his phone beneath his pillow and watched as she attended to him with far more skill than before.
Meanwhile, his thoughts were elsewhere.
That doctor wants to study me. She noticed something abnormal about my body.
He didn't want his secret exposed. But even if they examined that part of him, they probably wouldn't uncover anything substantial.
At most, they would conclude that his body was undergoing some kind of mutation or evolution. As for the root cause, it would remain beyond their reach.
Thinking this through, he slowly relaxed.
Perhaps this could even become an opportunity.
Tachibana, though focused on her task, discreetly observed him. She had clearly felt the change in his body—initially tense, then gradually easing.
What was he so worried about?
"Nurse Tachibana, why do you smell like smoke?" Kazuma asked, sniffing lightly.
The scent was faint—something he never would have noticed before. But now, with his body enhanced in every aspect, his senses had grown exceptionally sharp.
"I had a few puffs during my break," she replied. "But I sprayed disinfectant afterward. Do you hate it?"
"Yeah."
"Tch. How troublesome."
"Smoking in a hospital isn't exactly appropriate, is it?"
"That's why I used disinfectant. Honestly…"
After delivering the research sample to the doctor, Tachibana paused in the hallway.
She frowned and sniffed herself carefully. There was no lingering odor.
How did he notice it?
After a brief hesitation, she turned toward the bathhouse instead. A proper wash would settle it.
That night, Doctor Amamiya didn't sleep at all. She immersed herself completely in researching the mysterious patient.
Only when the first light of dawn seeped through the windows did she finally obtain the full results.
She had tried to prepare herself mentally, but the data still left her stunned.
"This is absurd…"
"How can a man's body possess such overwhelming vitality? Such exaggerated life force—could that be the source of his mutation? But how could something like this even form? He's not an alien… is he?"
Kazuma clearly carried an even greater secret.
Setting that aside, however, her findings revealed something astonishing.
That substance alone could provide extraordinary benefits to women.
While she couldn't confirm whether it could restore youth outright, it could undoubtedly enhance physical fitness, repair health, and continuously strengthen the body—just as it had done for him.
If someone were consistently nourished by it, the possibility of prolonged youth might not be far-fetched.
It was a temptation few women could resist.
If news of this ever spread…
The thought alone made her pulse quicken.
Without further hesitation, she picked up her phone and dialed a number.
After several rings, a drowsy voice answered, "Hello? Amamiya?"
"Young Miss, I'm sorry to wake you." Guilt pricked at her heart.
Ever since the family's downfall, the Young Miss had rarely slept peacefully. Yet this matter was too important to delay.
"It's fine. I was getting up anyway. What is it?" The voice sounded young—like that of a student.
"A very unusual individual has arrived at the hospital. Calling him a 'patient' doesn't quite fit…" Amamiya summarized her findings before adding, unable to hide her excitement, "His power may allow you to rise again."
In contrast to Amamiya's eagerness, the Young Miss remained composed.
"Someone like that exists? Even so, Amamiya, there's no guarantee he'd help us. And we have no leverage."
Amamiya hesitated.
She had considered suggesting that the Young Miss's charm alone might be enough to sway him—but voicing such a thought felt improper.
Still, the substance was too extraordinary.
Even if it couldn't restore the family's former glory…
If it could help the Young Miss grow stronger, evolve, and live well, that alone would justify everything.
As Amamiya fell silent, conflicted, the Young Miss seemed to grasp her unspoken thoughts instantly.
There was a faint pause in her breathing before she spoke calmly.
"I'll come to the hospital."
"Young Miss…"
"Reviving the family isn't my priority. But if he can help me take revenge, I'm willing to consider it."
After the call ended, Amamiya stood there, emotions tangled in her chest.
The Young Miss was still fixated on revenge.
The truth was, no matter how extraordinary Kazuma might be, taking revenge against a vast and terrifying noble power bordered on fantasy.
Unless…
"Doctor Amamiya!" Rapid footsteps echoed down the hallway. Tachibana burst in. "Kazuma seems to have left the hospital."
"What?!"
