Blank Slate

Chapter 1 - Aftershock

"Mm..." Y/n slowly woke up in a bed, his blurred vision and other senses slowly adjusting. While still dazed, he could immediately see a dark blob just obstructing his gaze.

It wasn't long til his vision focused and he saw someone above him, on all fours whilst he felt the sensation of lips kissing his forehead. A black calculation assistance device in front of his face already made identification easy.

"Yuriko?" He lightly uttered, the girl's body immediately shivering. Yuriko recoiled back her pale face now contrasted with the red blush on her cheeks.

"Well... That's–." He was about to try and talk his way out of a potential choke. Yuriko can be more tsundere than usual when it comes to intimacy.

"Good morning Y/n!" Last Order greeted sitting on the other bed on the side. "Yuriko-san was just planning to take it in her while you were asleep! Says misaka misaka without regard to secrecy!"

"..." I looked at her whose eyes were seemingly shadowed over.

"I-." Before Y/n could even formulate a sentence, a hand covered his mouth.

"Just listen to me closely, do not bring this up." Yuriko said darkly, to which he immediately nodded. Yuriko immediately let go and moved out of the bed, before lightly banging Last order on the head. "Owie."

"Well, I didn't think you'd be that daring, Ms. Suzushina." Harlow said leaning by the door entrance, with a smug grin plastered on her face.

"Wh! N-No, that was just-" Yuriko attempted to formulate an excuse.

A streak of red petals soon popped into view, quickly manifesting into ruby right beside Yuriko. "No use for excuses!" She said.

"Go away, red riding hood..." Yuriko said annoyed.

"Now, now, no need to get aggressive." A red-haired girl in a lab coat said, passing by Harlow, Kurisu. A few medical and other personnel stood just outside by the door.

"I'm pretty sure I'm justified as we were being watched!"

"Like your slow attempt at getting in his pants was justified." Ruby said.

"Uuh... Girls, girls, you're both pretty. Can I go back to sleep now?" Y/n spoke.

"I agree, everybody, let's just calm down alright? This is a hospital, no harem skirmish is allowed here, no matter what the reason is." Angela spoke, stepping through the room, retracting her wings to even step in.

"Hey, Ms. Ziegler."

"Nice to see you again, Y/n."

"So... Where are the others?" I asked, looking at both Ruby and Yuriko.

"Well, these two were the only ones that we allowed in after we enforced the rule of two on this hospital; only two of Y/n's harem members at a time as we had a bit of history already, I'm sure we all know that?" She continued, practically everyone nodding their heads in agreement.

"And... Then of course there are the tsunderes that just didn't want to, perhaps they internally regret it honestly." Another doctor, Emilia Kishitani, explained.

"Why'd you even need to care about those ungrateful vagabonds..." Yuriko uttered.

"Hey, we already have a severe-conditioned patient in our midst, don't press on his tolerance." Angela said.

Y/n looked down at his arm to see more than 1 IV line piercing his forearm one of the ones, not currently active seems to have siphoned out the remnants of V24 in his bloodstream, leading to a small pack. He did notice his skin was practically healed over, a typical effect of the V24 does include accelerated healing.
