Gin doesn't want to work hard

Or did the vodka turn back?

Shuichi Akai dared not let his guard down, holding his breath and staring intently at the top of the wall.

Finally, a figure climbed up.

Shuichi Akai breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw the person's long hair.

"Mr. Kurosawa?"

He shouted in a hoarse voice.

"……it's me."

Kurosawa's voice sounded somewhat tired.

"I shook off the vodka."

"I'll take you out of here."

Kurosawa walked up to Shuichi Akai and extended his hand to him.

Seeing that Kurosawa didn't seem to have any difficulty moving around, Shuichi Akai finally felt relieved.

"Thank you."

Shuichi Akai thanked him sincerely and reached out to grasp Kurosawa's hand.

Kurosawa pulled him up and put his hand on his shoulder.

Shuichi Akai leaned against Kurosawa to steady himself, and was about to say something when he caught a strong smell of blood.

At the same time, he felt a dampness on his hand that was resting on Kurosawa's shoulder.

Shuichi Akai's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but ask.

"You are hurt?"

Chapter 221 Back to the Hospital

Shuichi Akai frowned.

He turned to look at Kurosawa, trying to figure out where he was injured.

However, the dimly lit environment prevented him from seeing anything.

"I'm fine... I just got grazed by a bullet."

Kurosawa explained.

Shuichi Akai, however, was somewhat skeptical.

Judging from the bloody smell on Kurosawa's body, it was clearly not something that could be explained by a simple bullet glancing at him.

Hideaki Akai got up to check on Kurosawa's wound.

"Where is the wound? Let's treat it first..."

"It's more important to get out of here first."

Kurosawa interrupted him and forcefully led him outside.

"and many more……"

Shuichi Akai wanted to say something more, but Kurosawa ignored him and simply quickened his pace.

Shuichi Akai lost his footing and stumbled, almost falling over.

He unconsciously tightened his grip on Kurosawa's shoulder to steady himself.

Kurosawa frowned slightly but didn't say anything. Instead, he reached out and helped him up.

"Are you okay?"

Kurosawa slowed down again so that Shuichi Akai could keep up.

"I am fine."

Shuichi Akai shook his head.

His steps were still a little unsteady, but with Kurosawa's help, he was at least able to move slowly.

As for the stinging sensation coming from his ankle, Shuichi Akai completely ignored it.

It was just a twist, a minor injury.

We can deal with it after things settle down.

After walking with Kurosawa for a while, Shuichi Akai finally thought of a question.

"……where are we going?"

"Back to the hospital," Kurosawa replied.

"No."

Akai Shuichi immediately wanted to refuse.

He went through so much trouble just to leave the hospital.

Besides, the organizers might even be staking out the hospital; what if they get caught...?

"You don't want to go back to the hospital."

"They also know you won't go back to the hospital."

Kurosawa knew what Shuichi Akai was thinking.

"So now the hospital is the best place to go."

Shuichi Akai did indeed consider this possibility.

But he didn't want to gamble.

What if Gin doesn't play by the rules and still has people at the hospital...

Although Shuichi Akai was somewhat unwilling, the initiative was clearly not in his hands.

Kurosawa half-carried and half-dragged the person back to the hospital.

Seeing the faint light coming from the hospital gate not far ahead, Shuichi Akai tensed up.

Now that things have come to this, it's too late for him to leave, even if he wanted to.

If there are indeed organized groups nearby, then his whereabouts should have already been discovered.

The stretch of road from here to the hospital presents them with the best opportunity to strike.

Shuichi Akai subtly perked up and tightened his grip on Kurosawa's shoulder.

If anyone appears and attacks them, he will push Kurosawa away immediately and then try to deal with that person!

Shuichi Akai only felt relieved after the two safely entered the hospital lobby.

It seems that the organization has indeed stopped paying attention to the hospital.

"Mr. Kurosawa..."

Shuichi Akai turned his head, about to say something to Kurosawa, but fell silent the moment his eyes met Kurosawa's.

The hospital lobby was brightly lit, and Shuichi Akai could clearly see the bloodstains on Kurosawa's body.

Blood was everywhere—on his hands, arms, legs, shoulders, and even his waist.

The most serious-looking spot was the shoulder he was resting his hand on.

The clothes there were completely soaked in blood, which was the source of the sticky feeling that Shuichi Akai had felt earlier.

Remembering how he had pressed down on it so hard several times before, Shuichi Akai raised his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

"I'm sorry, I...I'm sorry."

He apologized somewhat helplessly.

He should have thought of it earlier.

Even though it's just vodka, he's definitely a tough opponent for Kurosawa.

Kurosawa must have suffered a lot to get rid of vodka.

These injuries are the best proof.

Kurosawa probably didn't want him to worry, so he didn't say anything.

Even though Kurosawa's voice sounded tired at the beginning, his body stiffened for a moment when she put her hand on his shoulder.

But he didn't react at all...

Shuichi Akai felt somewhat guilty.

Kurosawa smiled reassuringly at him.

"I'm fine, it just looks serious, but it's just some minor scratches."

Kurosawa believed he was telling the truth, so he spoke with great sincerity.

But this reaction only made Shuichi Akai feel worse.

Even at a time like this, Kurosawa was still comforting him.

Although he was feeling terrible inside, Shuichi Akai didn't show it to Kurosawa.

"Mr. Kurosawa, let's go find a doctor first."

Shuichi Akai originally had no such plan.

If it were just him, he could apply the medicine and bandage himself.

But now there's Kurosawa.

Shuichi Akai felt it was necessary to see a doctor.

Just as Kurosawa was about to nod, a somewhat surprised voice came from the side.

"Ah! What's going on?"

"Come with me quickly!"
