Gin doesn't want to work hard

"Can't!"

The nurse immediately stepped forward and stopped Shuichi Akai's actions.

"Patient, given your current condition, you absolutely cannot get out of bed!"

She spoke seriously, trying to persuade Shuichi Akai to go back to bed.

Shuichi Akai was slightly taken aback; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"Well, I just came down for a walk."

But Shuichi Akai reacted quickly as well.

He made up a random excuse and followed the nurse's instructions to lie back down on the bed.

Regardless, let's just try to fool them first.

The nurse glanced at Shuichi Akai with a hint of suspicion.

Shuichi Akai lay calmly on the bed, letting her look him over.

Finally, the nurse left, turning back every few steps.

Shuichi Akai waited a while longer, then got up again.

Kurosawa reached for the call bell again.

Seeing Kurosawa's undisguised actions, Shuichi Akai fell silent.

Given his physical condition, it would be difficult for him to leave the ward before the nurses arrived.

But it seems that Shuichi Akai couldn't very well stop Kurosawa from ringing the bell.

Or could we wait until Kurosawa falls asleep before leaving?

With that thought in mind, Shuichi Akai lay back down on the bed.

Seeing this, Kurosawa withdrew his hand and continued his game.

……

Shuichi Akai waited and waited.

Kurosawa doesn't seem to be sleeping.

He looked at Kurosawa, who was still sitting cross-legged with his back to him, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

It's already midnight, and the entire ward has fallen silent.

In this quiet atmosphere, the sound of buttons being pressed from Kurosawa's side became more distinct.

So, is Kurosawa playing a game?

Shuichi Akai belatedly realized this.

"Mr. Kurosawa?"

Shuichi Akai called out.

Upon hearing this, Kurosawa put down his game console, turned to look at him, and asked a question in his eyes.

"you……"

Shuichi Akai carefully chose his words, trying to persuade Kurosawa to go to sleep.

Seeing that Shuichi Akai seemed to want to say something but hesitated, Kurosawa suddenly realized what was going on and spoke up.

"Sorry, did I disturb your sleep?"

As he spoke, Kurosawa reached out and turned off the light.

"Go to sleep."

As the surroundings suddenly darkened, Shuichi Akai's pupils dilated slightly.

A faint light came from Kurosawa's direction, followed by a soft clicking sound.

Compared to before, the button sounds are indeed much quieter.

But clearly, Kurosawa had no intention of going to sleep.

After this interruption, Shuichi Akai swallowed back what he was about to say.

He began to consider the possibility of sneaking away under the cover of night.

It should work if you keep your voice down and your movements small.

Despite thinking this, Shuichi Akai waited a little longer.

Seeing that Kurosawa really had no intention of going to sleep, Shuichi Akai sighed inwardly.

He slowed his movements and gently got up.

Then, he walked slowly toward the door.

His poor health gave him a feeling that he wanted to cough.

But Akai Shuichi held back.

He was about to reach the door.

Shuichi Akai has already started thinking about which safe house to go to.

Just then, with a "snap," the entire ward lit up again.

Shuichi Akai paused, turning his head to look.

Kurosawa had put down his game console at some point and was now staring intently at him.

His face was expressionless, and his dark green pupils, hidden behind his glasses, revealed an inorganic indifference.

In that instant, Shuichi Akai felt that the person in front of him had a bit of Gin's temperament.

This feeling vanished the moment Kurosawa spoke.

“Mr. Akai, I suggest you go out until you have fully recovered.”

Kurosawa paused for a moment, then continued.

"If you can't sleep, I can call a doctor to prescribe some sleeping pills for you."

As Kurosawa spoke, he reached his hand toward the call bell.

"No, no need."

Shuichi Akai quickly stopped him, making up a random excuse.

"I just need to go to the restroom."

Kurosawa didn't speak, but simply turned his head to look to the right.

That's where the toilet is in this ward.

Kurosawa turned his head back to look at Shuichi Akai standing on the left.

The two places are not so much different as to be completely opposite.

Shuichi Akai was not embarrassed; he remained calm and composed.

"It was too dark just now, I thought the bathroom was over here."

Okay, so people who use sniper rifles have such bad eyesight, huh?

Kurosawa nodded, seemingly believing him.

Shuichi Akai then went to the restroom.

As he passed Kurosawa's hospital bed, Kurosawa called out to him.

Kurosawa handed him his phone.

Of course, it's the one we use every day.

"You probably still have people you want to contact."

"Go to the toilet, I can't hear you."

"Stop thinking about sneaking out. At least get your health back first."

Shuichi Akai paused for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Seeing that he didn't move, Kurosawa simply threw his phone over.

Akai Hideki instinctively reached out and caught it.

Then, Kurosawa got out of bed and went outside.

"I'm going outside for a walk, I'll be back in ten minutes."

"and many more……"

Shuichi Akai looked at the closed hospital room door with a complicated expression.

He glanced at the empty ward and finally put Kurosawa's phone back on the bed.

Although this is somewhat unfair to Kurosawa's good intentions, leaving now is the best option.

Shuichi Akai silently apologized and turned to leave the ward.

Kurosawa was no longer in the corridor. Shuichi Akai looked around and then headed towards the stairs on the right.

After he left, Kurosawa's figure appeared from the left corner.

Kurosawa raised an eyebrow slightly as he watched Shuichi Akai's departing figure.

Despite all that, Shuichi Akai still chose to leave.

As expected of Shuichi Akai.

Reason always outweighs emotion.

However, such rationality appearing at a time like this is not so pleasant.

Indeed, reasoning alone is not enough.

We will need to rely on some other methods.

With that thought in mind, Kurosawa took out his phone and sent a message to Vodka.
