Chapter 29 – Lifetime

The doctor wearing black horn-rimmed glasses asked with a serious expression.

“Hey, patient. Are you a superhero?”

He had such a serious face that he thought he would say that I would die soon. I’ve heard it before, but it was such an outrageous statement. Sitting on the bed, I asked him in an absurd tone.

“Yes? A superhero?”

“No, you have a patient right now. You were hit by a car two hours ago, right?”

“By the way.”

“Besides, did you cling to the car and fall?”

“It was.”

His doctor looked at the chart he had brought. He reconfirmed the CT and MRI images he had taken on the way to this hospital earlier, and met eyes with me again.

“Are you too fine for that? Not a single bone is cracked anywhere, and all there is blood on the head and hands? But even that was only torn by 3-4 cm. There are some abrasions and bruises, but it’s just a pretty bad fall.”

What the doctor said was right. Until I was hit by the hype, I couldn’t get up because my whole body was sore. But as time passed, I got to the point where I could stand on my own without the help of the demon king, and eventually I rode the ambulance myself.

“Really, you’re not a member of a secret society, are you?”

He looked at him with suspicious eyes. It was as if I were looking at a hero who only appears in real comics.

However, I couldn’t say, “Actually, I’m a warrior, so the devil told me that my wounds heal quickly.” All I could say was two words.

“It can’t be.”

“Still, it’s a bit strange… “

The doctor muttered that while taking care of the medical records he had brought. He joked, “Isn’t it strange?” To the nurses who came in with him and left the hospital room.

I looked around the room they were used to. This was the single room where I was hospitalized when I injured my arm. It seemed that the demon king had asked his father this time as well. Otherwise, I would not be assigned to this room again.

Unlike me, the demon king rode in a police car, not an ambulance. Her exaggeration, which came to her senses, was due to her explanation that she had trampled on her. That was true, but the demon king didn’t look unfair at all and rather smiled and told me.

“It won’t be long! See you later!”

That bright smile reminded me of a certain movie. The main character of the movie said that he would definitely return like the devil, but in the end he died without being able to return.

Of course, it’s not like he’ll die or not see him at all, but since he was arrested for assault, it seemed like it would take a few days to see him again.

I’m already starting to miss her. As soon as she opened the door to the hospital room, she seemed to come in shouting, “Your baggage has arrived!” …

Drooling!

“The luggage has arrived!”

A demon king wearing a gray sweatpants and a backpack opened the door and appeared.

I shouted at her as she appeared as if she were woven.

“Why are you here so soon!”

“What, something. Aren’t you happy with Jim?”

The demon king, embarrassed, came inside and closed the door.

“No, it’s not that I’m not happy! Why did you come so soon? Didn’t you go to the police station?”

“It is true that he came and went, but he was not arrested. It went over to the investigation without detention.”

“What difference does that make?”

“Nothing. If the possibility of escape or damage to evidence is low, go to the investigation without detention. If the possibility is high, I will lock you in a lockup and arrest you. In the case of Jim, the evidence is clear and the residence is clear, so there is no reason to go to the arrest investigation.”

She speaks fluently. In her story, I heard words I shouldn’t miss.

“Evidence?”

“Yes. Whoops!”

The demon king said calmly and pulled out the caregiver’s bed from under the patient’s bed. And he sat there facing me and continued talking.

“Looks like there are quite a few videos of Jim beating him. There are many people who filmed inside buildings as well as car black boxes.”

“So, are you going to jail?”

“Don’t think so negatively. If you’re lucky, you’ll be compensated with a settlement or a fine, and no matter how bad it is, you’ll get a suspended sentence.”

“No, but what if that bastard doesn’t agree?”

“Aren’t you there then?”

She chinned towards me.

“Since he hit you with a car, it is a special assault, and a special assault is not as easily passed over as a normal assault. Special assault starts from 1 year in prison, so I will try to agree with you unconditionally. Then you can bring up the story of Jim. Or sleep!”

The demon king opened her blue eyes wide in amazement. Then he wrapped his arms around her body and twisted them like a pretzel.

“Are you going to use that as an excuse to threaten Jim with such and such?”

“No, you idiot.”

“Something, I’m not doing… “

He had a strangely disappointed look on his face. She pouted her lips and took off her top bag on her back. She opened the bag and took out something familiar to her from there.

“Did you bring the game console again?”

“It can’t be helped. Since this happened while you were playing games at your house. Shouldn’t the quest be finished?”

What the demon king brought was a switch.

“Are you visiting the hospital to play games? Why do you bring a game console every time you come?”

“This is all for you. Aren’t you bored anyway, because there’s no one to visit you except for your luggage?”

“That’s it… “

“Whoops! Then I’ll have to install the luggage!”

She smiled lightly and stood up with her switch in hand. She took her switch docks out of her bag and walked to the TV on the wall of the hospital room with one in each hand. She installed a switch in the drawer below and connected it to the TV. She brought up the familiar white screen on the TV and came over to my bed.

Holding a red and blue controller in each of her hands, she said to me.

“Get out of the way. I will lie down too.”

“What? Hey, wait!”

“Noisy. Didn’t you say Vicky?”

“Hey!”

He ignored my answer and lay down next to me. Her face heated up at the soft scent that emanated from her.

“Look out of the way. Isn’t it narrow?”

“Have you already gone to the end?”

My body was already crowded to the corner of the bed, but the demon lord clung to it and made it impossible to lie on my back. Since she was lying on her side, she had no choice but to encounter her doll-like appearance.

I looked away as much as I could and said to the demon king.

“There is a caregiver bed! Go there!”

“Isn’t it hard there? It is better here.”

“I’d rather go!”

I couldn’t stand it and tried to get out of bed. Then the demon king grabbed my hospital gown and forced me to lie down. There were bruises all over his body, and his whole body throbbed as he collapsed on the bed.

“Evil! Hey! Take it easy! It hurts!”

“Stay here, isn’t it your bed?”

“Then just make your bed! I’m going to the caregiver!”

“Don’t be shy. But can’t we go further?”

“Is it all gone? You got more than me!”

The demon king saw a bed covered with white sheets to his right. The amount she occupied was 7-80% of her bed, to the point where I had to tell her to get out of the way. Even so, the demon king told me that it was narrow and she clung to me.

When the pain reached the bruise, I couldn’t stand it and cried out.

“I am sick! Be considerate!”

“Assuming there is no burden. Whoops.”

She laughed and leaned her head on my shoulder. As I approached the demon lord’s head, my heart pounded rapidly at the sweet scent.

I said with a half-desperate heart.

“Oh really! A little!”

“Whoops!”

In the end, I gave up on stopping the demon king. If I kept persuading him, it was obvious that he would just spread sophistry and not listen. It was better to give up early.

As I was lying on my side, the demon king almost hugged me. I tried not to be conscious of it as much as possible, but I couldn’t stop my heart beating like crazy. All I could do was pray that this beating would not be heard by her.

I tried to focus on the TV screen while keeping my expression as expressionless as possible. On the other hand, the demon king blushed a little and operated the controller casually. Contrary to what she said earlier that she would play games, the one she turned on was YouTube ○.

“You said you were playing.”

“Look at this first. This is the video you will want to see.”

The video of the demon lord was news about the identity of the hype. The news featured what he had done. Not only the impersonation of me, but also the recordings I recorded, and when it was revealed, they tried to hit me with a car. The most notable thing about it was that he was going to be arrested for adultery with a minor.

When I saw that earlier, I remembered that there was a list of middle and high school girls on his phone yesterday. I thought I was just getting to know him, but I didn’t know he would touch it. In any case, with all of this, it seemed that he was unavoidable to escape imprisonment.

After the video ended, the demon king smiled playfully at me and asked.

“How is it? Are you cool?”

“Oh, yes, but.”

“Something?”

“I saw this before.”

It was a video I found while touching my phone out of boredom while removing stitches from my forearm. The relief she must have felt when she saw this left more than she felt before.

“What?”

The demon king shouted and raised his upper body from the bed. He had a look of disbelief.

“How can you see it alone? Jim has been waiting to see you too!”

After seeing the demon king talking as if he had been betrayed, I replied in an unfair tone.

“No, I didn’t know you would come so soon! If I knew, I wouldn’t have looked and waited!”

“… Are you serious?”

“Then!”

He still had a grumpy expression. But then he snorted and lay down next to me again.

“Well, you still don’t know this.”

“What. And don’t stick.”

I subtly pushed away the demon king who was trying to rub his head against my chest. She looked at my face again and said that she had given up.

“Ha-joon is also hospitalized here.”

“What!”

The day I was about to wake up in surprise, the demon king caught me.

“Don’t be so surprised. Jim was beaten so badly that he was forced to stay in the hospital. But even though it’s the same hospital, I’m handcuffed, so I can’t harm you. Don’t worry.”

“What are you worried about? But how much did you hit? When I saw you earlier, you almost tried to kill me.”

“Still, I still have enough reason to avoid hitting you in the face.”

“Why is that? You shouldn’t have crushed his nose at all.”

“That way, people will see your face and recognize you. That he is dog trash.”

“Was it like that?”

The knight was sent out so that his handsome face became poison, but the demon king did not forget that. While thinking about that, she said her words.

“And let me tell you. Actually he was right he wanted to kill him. He could have killed him had you not stopped him.”

At this time, the demon king was looking at the screen that had stopped at the end. When I saw her like that, I couldn’t say anything.

After a few seconds of silence, she looked at me again.

“So, if Jim seems to lose his temper, let him dry by his side.”

“I will do it even if you don’t say anything.”

“Forever.”

“What?”

As if not wanting to answer, she operated the controller in silence. She turned off the news and this time went to her profile window and played the movie she had bought.

She forced herself to change the subject in order to forget the question.

“You said you were playing.”

“If I were to play now, I would be nervous and my hands would slip.”

I didn’t bother to ask why I was nervous.
