…Krieeekk

"How was your condition, Regatama?"

"I’m completely fine I think."

"Ok, let me recheck your condition."

"Hm…hm."

She is the nurse that has taken care of me while I was bedridden. Hmmm… Renanda? Nice name.

She checked to some part of my body. Short brown hair and brown eyes. Around 160cm heigh and a slim figure. A 1 level above mediocre beauty in standard of nurses.

While she did it, I stare at whole of her frame. No, isn’t what you think it is.

"Ummm, sorry to ask this, are you also received the ‘grace’ sist?"

"Why do you ask this?"

Her expression stiffened. As I expected, this question is rather sensitive due to this situation. About the incident this and incident that. This case and that my assumed case.

"Nothing, I just want to know how many it is whose get it. Mmmm, because I don’t have one."

"Ah so that’s it, curious? Why not guess it yourself before I give you the answer."

Now her expressions brighten. She also put some smile of tease on that.

So it is. As I state that I didn’t have one she changed her expression. So that is, people with no ‘grace’ can’t stole other’s ‘grace’. Or rather there yet haven’t any case where it is.

As to find the answer, That’s E.Z. Just stare at her chest and I ca-. No that’s not like what it is. The black spot is there.

To think about is, is she considering me as a pervert for staring at them even if for a fraction of second? I hope no. If so, it’s just a false acquisition.

"Then, sist, what if I answered right?"

I said that with my young cute expression. I think in my age and this situation it would be fit if I acted as a cute curious little brother.

"Eh, you want a reward for that? Hahaha, then said it, what you want? Some snack?"

Ding dong.

"Then… How about sist do whatever I want sist to do, for around 1 hour, and keep in secret for whatever happen to you after that if I got the right answer. Isn’t it a break time soon?"

"Wha- What?! Do everything? What do you want to do with me?"

This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

Ah, shit. I overacted and show myself again. She seems shock to hear that.

"Ah sorry sist, nothing much, just wanted you to show your ‘grace’ to me. Sorry if it makes you disgusted sist. What could a 15 years old kid like me do to you?"

"Ah no, yes, sorry, but you stare at me the whole time, that’s make me feel uneasy."

"Hmmm sorry, I have different reason for it hehe."

Damn, "ThE wHoLe TiMe"? I think I just did it for a while. Screw you, my eyes. You’ve lied to the brain.

"Then, is it ‘yes’?"

"Hmmm, okay okay. Go on then."

She sits on the sofa nearby as she has finished my body check.

I tried to glare at her for a moment. With serious face, then lower it for 2 sec, then raise it. Just to make it dramatic. But…

[Goooodddd, help me please. It’s a rare event. It’s alright now, my fault not pray to you when I’m in gambling of ‘grace’ stipulation. But now, PlEaSe!]

[Give me the ace give the ace give me the ace]

Wait, why do I pray again. I have known the answer from the start damn it. Just add a random answer to it.

"Hmmm you have it sist, but rather than a healing ability you can strengthen human body."

"Eh…"

Her eyes widened

"How can you know it?"

Ding dong. Hahaha it’s EZ pretty sist.

"How did you know if I was yearning for a healing ‘grace’ but rather I get the body strengthen instead?"

Hmmm? It’s right? The random one? Damn you luck. Ah, thanks I mean.

"Hehehe, don’t underestimate my luck sist. But, why? You, didn’t want it?"

"No no… that’s just"

"Hmm?"

She looks at me

"Strange kid…"

She smiled with her resigned face.

"It’s not like I didn’t want it. But just, I wish I have a healing ability."

"I often accompany a patient with a fatal wound. I just can’t keep it. The way they moaning in pain, the way they scream. That’s why I want to have a healing ability, so I can erase their pain and make them feel ease with me while the treatment is being carried out. Isn’t it the definition of being a nurse?"

"---"

"I lost so you can do want you want now. It’s break time also."

She hides her face and back to her ‘sist nurse’ again.

"Isn’t that just being afraid?"

"Ha?"

I took knife nearby that’s used to slice the fruits.

"Then, as a reward can I cut some of your skin to test your body strengthening?"

"What? You want me to show you the ability with that?"

"Errr… Is it hurt even if you use body strengthening? Or even this knife can’t slice your skin?"

"If it only a knife with some slicing pressure I think my ‘grace can handle it. But at some degree of pressure that knife also can penetrate my skin. So, be gentle ok?"

Ah, the word she chooses…

While I hold her hand, I try to slice her left hand gently. Slow and less pressure, then I try to increase a bit more speed and pressure to it. Still not scratched but, damn she really has a soft palm.

"Is it hurt?"

"Emmm, no. Rather, I just can’t feel anything."

But again, I just feel really hesitant about hurting her. Her expression is kind of frightened.

"Then how about it?"

I’m off with the knife, now I just pinch her hand.

"Still the same"

"Sist, sorry, is it E-rank ‘grace’? You look really worried as if your ability is so weak."

"For someone who didn’t have it and get bedridden just after that Friday you seem pretty informed. But no, I have A-rank. I just not perfectly used to it since I rarely use this ability."

While she bragging, she also tried to reach an apple in the table nearby with her right hand. But that was to far for her hand to reach, she barely touched it with her finger and it fell. But she never gave up eh, she struggling to pick the apple on the floor while her left hand was still attached to me.

Oh, she reached it. Eh, she drops it again?

"Ouch… Ah, sorry I unconsciously deactivated it"

"No sist, the one who should apology is me isn’t it?"

"Hehehe, what kind of adult make a kid apology when something wrong happens when playing some game"

Ehh she likes to brag sometimes eh... she likes to act mature to eh… But now I kind of know her problem.
