Starting from scratch in another world

109-112

Chapter 109

On this morning, Yosano Akiko was still reading "Exile Suite". She has always been a fan of April's books. Her favorite novel before was "Red Moon Manor". She liked the escape under the moonlight that exposed everyone's inner past - thrilling, crazy, depressed, desperate...

She was afraid of it, but also enjoyed it, just like the chainsaw before each treatment, cutting skin and breaking bones and flesh, blood splashing on her face and body, as if she could smell the smell of gunfire and gunpowder, so familiar and reassuring.

So yesterday, she raised the chainsaw as usual, but trembled at the moment of cutting... Until the dying patient who came to ask for help on the bed let out a painful wail, she steadily put down the knife and used - "Please don't die."

The golden butterflies fluttered, and the dying person under the fluttering was reborn...

This time, the patient entrusted came out in almost a minute. The members of the detective agency who didn't hear the screams couldn't help but wonder, didn't Miss Yosano dissect it four or five times?

The client, who was intact, thanked President Fukuzawa repeatedly, added a large commission fee, and then left with gratitude.

The sincere words of thanks and the tears of rebirth were ignored by Edogawa Ranpo, who was sitting in the innermost seat. It was nothing strange for a patient to thank a doctor.

He didn't want to care about this matter at first, and waited until the guy came tomorrow and asked her to persuade him. But even the president could see that something was wrong with Yosano these days. The famous detective jumped off the table and went into the infirmary with a half-eaten snack in his hand.

The doctor in the infirmary was quiet and autistic. On his lap was a novel that had been turned to the last page again, but his eyes were wandering, staring at the gloomy sunlight outside the window through the clear glass window.

The sound of the door opening did not reach her ears, but the sound of eating snacks was very clear, the sound of biscuits breaking, the sound of plastic packaging bags, and the sound of the person who came in dragging the chair on the ground finally woke up the doctor who was immersed in his thoughts.

Edogawa Ranpo dragged the chair to a place without blood and continued to eat the snacks.

"Mr. Ranpo... am I... a patient?"

After a long silence, the female voice in the closed ward said dully: "Am I, sick?"

The famous detective patted the cookie crumbs for Akiko's sake, took out his glasses from his pocket, activated his special ability, and diagnosed: "Well... you are not sick, you are healthy."

He gave a conclusion.

"But I..."

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by the impatient famous detective: "So what if you like dissection, Lord Ranpo also likes reasoning, and it is not so easy to cure to a complete state, of course there is a price to pay."

Edogawa Ranpo said as a matter of course: "But Lord Ranpo doesn't like pain, so Akiko wants to give me anesthesia."

The dark clouds outside the window seemed to have retreated a little, the light cast into the room, the temperature shone on her body, Yosano Akiko's eyes no longer wandered, she nodded vigorously, and her hand touched the book on her lap - "Exile Suite".
