Chapter 77

"Inventory check of the first aid kit is complete."

"Yes, I've confirmed it."

"Garbage should be put in the special trash bin."

"Any points to note?"

"Needles, syringes, and tubes should be placed in the special waste bin."

"Very good."

After finishing the tea time with Dr. Grain, it's time for the post-emergency inspection with For.

Dr. Grain, after finishing his tea, returned to his work with a brisk step.

What a cool and capable handsome man!

After a brief training session, I'm now practicing under For's supervision.

I managed to complete the entire process somehow.

Once that was done, I added a few notes to the bullet points I had written down during the training.

"When you're alone, get the check confirmed after completing this."

"Okay."

"Then, let's put away the first aid kit. Do you have a subspace, Yuriko?"

"Yes, I do."

"Then, store it in the subspace. It's useless if you can't use it in an emergency. However, if you use the first aid kit outside the medical team's supervision, submit a report and replenish the used items promptly."

"Understood!"

With For's final words, I confirmed the method and submission destination for the report and wrote them down in my notes.

Since there was an existing format, I took a couple of sheets and stored them with the first aid kit's notes.

After putting the first aid kit in the subspace, the inspection time was finally over.

"Good job, Yuriko. That completes today's work in the medical team."

"Thank you. I appreciate it."

"Vincent will come to pick you up next, so please wait on the chair in the corner of the infirmary."

"Okay."

As For checked the clock, it was just past the scheduled time.

It was a strangely intense day. I said my goodbyes to For.

Following the final instructions, I moved to the infirmary with For. There was a small chair in the corner of the preparation room's wall.

When I sat down, For patted my head as if to say, "Well done." An unexpected reward.

Feeling content, I saw Vincent and Bax come out of a room I had never entered.

"Are you done?"

"Yes, both the cleanup and inspection are complete."

"Right on schedule."

"Yuriko is excellent."

"Hmm."

For praised me. And he's giving Vincent a good report too.

Is this some kind of carrot and stick?!

"Hehe, Yuriko's eyes are sparkling, For."

"I'm strict during work."

"For-chan, you're not scary. You're good with the whip... I got praised."

Hehehe. I'm secretly pleased to have received For's approval.

"...What to do with this cute creature?"

"Deputy, what's with that strange hand movement? Stop it, it's a crime."

"From your reactions, it seems For was the right choice as the instructor."

While they were chatting, I was lost in my happiness.

Let me savor this joy a bit longer.

Just then, the infirmary door opened.

"Vincent."

"Dilnan, you're here."

"Captain."

Seeing Dilnan, I couldn't help but run over.

He gently messed up my hair, and my face broke into a smile.

"Good work. You'll be staying at Vincent's place for today and tomorrow, so listen to what Vincent says."

"Okay."

"Alright. Come back bright and early the day after tomorrow."

"Okay!"

Dilnan sounds so motherly.

"Vincent, are you sure you don't need any clothes or anything?"

"Yeah. My wife is eagerly waiting with everything prepared. Yuriko just needs to bring herself."

"Thank you."

"I'll take good care of her."

Dilnan bowed to Vincent, who responded cheerfully.

Bax and For's gazes were warm... They really see him as a mother figure.

"...So, you're definitely up to no good, aren't you?"

"Ouch!"

I was just nodding, but Dilnan locked onto my temples with his fists after finishing the greetings.

He pressed lightly, but temples hurt! How does he always know what I'm thinking!?

While I was writhing in pain, For chuckled.

When I looked at him, his eyes seemed to say, "I told you so."

...I really need to work on my facial muscles.

"No sign of remorse."

"Sorry, Captain, sorry!"

Thinking about For, the pressure from Dilnan's fists increased a bit.

I truly repent! Please, have mercy!!

Everyone, stop laughing and help me!!!

Since it was dinner time, Dilnan released me from the temple attack, bowed once more, and left.

It really hurt. I was teary-eyed.

"Alright, let's get changed and head home."

"Umm...?"

While rubbing my temples to ease the pain, Vincent said this.

He picked me up and carried me to the room with the same chart shelves as in the morning.

"After a day's work, the work clothes are sent to the cleaning team for special washing. Wait where you were, and bring the nurse's uniform when you're done changing."

"Okay."

"I'll unzip the back for you."

Vincent explained while I took out the clothes and shoes I wore in the morning and laid out a cloth. He even unzipped the back, which I couldn't reach, and then left the room.

Truly, capable men are different. They see everything ahead.

Let's change, then. Yeah.

After changing back into my morning clothes, I folded the nurse's uniform and cloth and held the pico-pico sandals in my fingers, ready to leave the room.

...But I couldn't reach the doorknob, so I couldn't open the door.

I knocked three times with a silly sound. Twice for the bathroom. Officially, it's four times, but it's often shortened these days?

"Ah, sorry. I dropped the ball at the last moment."

While thinking about such trivial matters, Vincent opened the door with a wry smile.

A little heart-fluttering moment. Thank you, Vincent!

Gurrr

"Once the clothes are put away, it's just a short way home."

"Okay!"

The moment I thought "Thank you," my stomach growled...

Though it was a relatively mild growl, it clearly reached Vincent's ears.

Vincent also took off his white coat, and we put the laundry in the designated basket.

Just to be safe, we checked the pockets before putting them in. The armband also goes to the cleaners.

The cleaning team does laundry too. Makes sense, given the dirt.

I stored the pico-pico sandals in a corner of the bottom shelf of the shoe rack at the infirmary entrance.

"Then, we'll be leaving. Bax, the rest is up to you."

"Thank you for your hard work. Have a good rest tomorrow."

"Thank you. I appreciate it."

After finishing the tasks, Vincent informed Bax.

I greeted Bax and For, who smiled in response, and even the other team members in the infirmary returned my greetings.

For waved, so I turned back and left the infirmary with Vincent's encouragement.
