Endless Ending E

(Endless Ending - Emu)

I wonder why fate is so cruel.

Just before midnight. That's when the incident happened.

I was resting on the bed in the CR ward when I received a report from Hiiro-san through the game scope.

To my surprise, the nurse's station in every department of Seito University Hospital was ringing with nurse's calls all at once. It seemed that the ventilators and dialysis machines, which were used to prolong the lives of hospitalized patients in each ward, had been infected by the bugster virus and malfunctioned.

The whole hospital was in a state of panic, and all the off-duty doctors and nurses rushed to the hospital to take care of the patients.

In the pediatric ward where I am assigned, there is also a pediatric patient who is receiving life-prolonging treatment with a ventilator.

I was about to rush out of the CR room to go to the pediatric ward, but Parad, who was taking care of me, stopped me.

"Stop. It's not safe for you to push yourself."

"Step aside, please. I can't let my patients die."

"If you stress yourself out any more, you'll be in danger too!"

"Parad. You know how I feel! This is a time-sensitive situation!"

When I opened the door to the hospital room and stepped out into the corridor, I saw Poppy running down the spiral staircase on my right side. To be exact, she was wearing a blue nurse's uniform as her temporary form, Asuna-san.

"Emu! I just checked with the director, and it seems our hospital isn't the only one with malfunctioning medical equipment!"

As I left the entrance of the CR, listening to Asuna-san's report, I pressed the call button for the elevator.

"What do you mean...?"

"That's... all the hospitals in the country at once..."

That's impossible. This has never happened before. It's an unusual situation, to say the least.

I immediately realized that there was some kind of malicious intent behind the emergency.

"No way. The medical devices that are malfunctioning..."

"...The director said they were all made by Medictric."

Medictric is the medical equipment manufacturer that my father works for.

"If that's the case, then Kuroto-san might have something to do with this problem."

Just then, the door to the CR entrance opened.

Kiriya-san came running in with a concerned expression.

"Emu! I knew you'd rush out of the hospital room."

"Kiriya-san. You can't stop me."

"Alright, alright. More importantly, I got a call from Saiko-sensei. It seems that a God dummy has appeared at the regenerative medicine center."

"Could it be Kuroto II!? No way!" Asuna-san started to panic.

"Yeah. The God Maximum Mighty X gashat that we were working with was stolen by that guy."

"This is bad, Emu. That gashat is troublesome," Parad said, looking wary.

"Yeah. But we have to deal with the patients first."

When I arrived at the pediatric ward, I immediately coordinated with the other doctors and nurses, and we split up to take care of the pediatric patients.
