Chapter 85

When we arrived at Tada's coffee shop which isn't that far from Ginza Hospital, we directly sit on a normal seat and ordered two coffees and an egg sandwich.

Then, I explained about my encounter with that intern and what happens to the man before to Grayfia while we wait for our order to arrive.

"I see, so it was like that. That man was lucky because his son definitely will have his hand and leg back." Grayfia said.

"By any chance, you know that intern's skill?" I tilted my head and asked.

"No way, this is my first time knowing there is someone with half black and half white hair. Also suture marks on his face." Grayfia shakes her head and answered.

"But I do believe in you. I know your intuition was never wrong, master." Grayfia said with a smile.

"Hehe, as expected of my maid," I said with a gentle smile.

Not long after that, Teresa came and delivering our order while we're talking.

"Here is your order. I hope you enjoy our coffee and sandwich, Kitahara-sama." Teresa smilingly said as she served our order.

"Hehe, you know I will." I casually said.

"Thank you very much." Teresa back to the counter with her husband after expressing her gratitude.

"Ah...As usual, the special coffee Mr owner made was the best." Grayfia said after taking a sip on the coffee.

"Agreed. It's to the point of I want to hire those two as my private coffee and sandwich maker." I casually said to praise them.

"I don't know what your relationship with them, but I think if you said that, they can't do anything but accept. I mean, look. Both of them smiled wryly after overhearing what you said." Grayfia laughingly said as she pointed at Teresa and Tada behind the counter.

"Don't worry I'm just kidding. Besides, I have an exclusive maid anyway. Come to think of it, I haven't tried food or drinks my maid made." I jokingly said.

"Ara, what a failure for me to forget about that. Then how about I made one for you after this, master?" Grayfia said.

"Oo, sure! I want to try the meals my self-proclaimed maid made. I still have about four hours before going back to that hospital anyway." I said enthusiastically.

"Then, it's decided. Let's go to my apartment after this." Grayfia said with a gentle smile.

"Nn, I am so looking forward to that."

----

After finishing our sandwich and coffee, we immediately take a taxi to Grayfia's apartment. I looked at the interior of the apartment as Grayfia let me inside. It was as expected, a clean and elegant interior that very Grayfia's like.

"Please wait on the sofa while I prepared lunch for both of us. Good thing we only ordered one egg sandwich for both of us together." Grayfia said as she takes me to the sofa in the living room.

"Sure, I will turn on the TV, okay?" I nodded and said.

"Okay, please wait for a while, master," Grayfia answered with a smile then she promptly went to the kitchen which actually near the living room so I can see her from here.

At first, my eyes were on the TV after turning it on. But my sight got stolen by the scene of Grayfia who going to wear an apron. She elegantly lifted her hair as she wears an apron. As expected, a girl plus apron is the best.

As if sensing my sight, Grayifa looked back at me and our eyes met. I nodded appreciatively without averting my eyes which made Grayfia giggled then looked away to start cooking. After about one hour, Grayfia finished her cooking.

"Please sit here, master," Grayfia said as she prepared a set for me while acting like a real maid.

"Nn." I elegantly nodded while acting as a master to answer her. After I sit, we looked at each other and laughed.

"Hahaha, I guess I like the usual Grayfia than Grayfia who was fully a maid." I laughed and said.

"I also like my usual master than the one who tried to act like one." Grayfia laughingly said then she sits in front of me.

"Well, please eat heartily, master," Grayfia said with a smile.

"Itadakimasu." I expressed gratitude before eating and looked at the food before me. It was a Nikujaga, a bowl of rice and cold oolong tea. Without further ado, I eat the delicious-looking Nikujaga.

"Delicious! I think even Maoxing's Nikujaga isn't as tasty as this." I widened my eyes and said after eating the Nikujaga.

"Thank you. I am confident in my Nikujaga as the recipe was from my grandma. She always made this comfort me whenever I am sad since my parents died." Grayfia said with a smile while reminiscing something.

"I see... then I am sure your grandmother will be happy knowing her dear granddaughter was able to cook Nikujaga as she did," I said with a smile.

"Hehe, thank you," Grayfia said with a charming smile.

We didn't say anything after that and just eat the delicious Nikujaga while smiling at each other and enjoying each other presence.

----

"Thank you, Izumi." Grayfia, who sits beside me on the sofa, suddenly said with a smile.

"Hm? For what?" I tilted my head and asked.

"For finding me at the forest in the game," Grayfia answered.

"Just that? Isn't that a coincidence?" I wonderingly said.

"Yes, it is a coincidence. But if it's other people who found me, I don't think I will be close to that person at all. Even more, if it's a man.

You know, I was very lonely at that time. Because of my appearance, I don't have any friends since girls avoid me, and boys only looking at me indecently. Even after becoming an a.d.u.l.t and having a job is still the same.

That's why I tried to play Enigma online that advertised in a CM, to forget my loneliness. For me who doesn't like to be unprepared, I read a guide before playing the game. But when I found a very rare monster, I carelessly followed after it and ended up meeting that wolf boss.

Then, you came. You even asked me to be your friend after defeating the boss. Of course, I didn't know your character at that time. But weirdly, I'm not uncomfortable with you even when we first meet.

But after spending time with you, I came to know many sides of you. Kizu that I know is a pervert, playboy, caring, and gentle. Gentle only to girls, though.

We completed many rare quests, getting legendary weapons, and conquering a city. The times I spend with you were very precious to me even though it's only in a game. And I am certain, if it's other people who found me, I won't be this happy.

The Izumi I met in real life was just as I expected him to be. It was the same Kizu who was gentle and caring. That's why thank you very much for found me in that forest. Thanks for being my comrade and master, Izumi." Grayfia said with a dazzling smile.

"It made me happy hearing heartfelt gratitude. But you know, that's also the same for me. Having you as my comrade and maid made me happy. That's why, thanks for being my comrade and maid too, Grayfia." I answered with a gentle smile.

"Nn..." Grayfia said with a beaming smile then leaned her head on my shoulder.

After that, we continue watching the TV with Grayfia's head leaned on my shoulder until it's time for me to go to the hospital.

---

I arrived at the hospital right after the operation finished. The man was bowing his head to thank the intern. When they saw me approaching, the man also bowed his head to me.

"It's a success as expected." I casually said.

"Yes, Kitahara-sama. Thank you very much!" The man bowed his head and said.

"You should thank him. I didn't do anything after all." I waved my hand and said.

"I have been thanking him many times since the operation finished. But, thank you very much, young man!" The man bowed his head again and said.

"It's fine. I just don't like it when people casually said the operation won't be succeeded." The intern said.

"You can continue talking later, go accompany your wife and son. It seems this intern wants to talk with me." I said.

"Understood, Kitahara-sama." The man nodded and immediately excuses himself.

"Who are you..." Looking at the respectful attitude of the man, the intern asked.

"Kitahara Izumi, a model, and a pianist. How about you?" I introduced myself and asked.

"My name is Kuroo Hazama. A medical student at Tokyo University." Kuro politely introduced himself. It seems he doesn't believe my identity was merely like that.

"Too bad you haven't got a license, or I want to recruit you as a head doctor in my plan to build a hospital. At any rate, what do you want to talk about?" I said and asked.

"A new hospital, huh... I guess this is sort of a chance. I can be your doctor, but please help me find someone." Kuro said with a thoughtful expression and a bit of anger in his eyes while seemingly thinking about that person he wants to find.

"Hoo... That's simple. But, is it fine for you to not hearing my offer first? Who knows maybe I will deceive you." I raised my eyebrow and said.

"I don't think someone who can order minister of health need to do something like that," Kuro answered.

"Reasonable. In fact, the offer was higher than this place's head doctor can get in a month. Because I want you to manage it by yourself as I will just be the boss. Are you fine with that?" I asked.

"Yes, it's also my dream to save many people as a doctor. So, it's not a problem at all." Kuro nodded and said.

"Good, who do you want to search?" I nodded and asked.

"Kagemitsu Hazama, my father," Kuro said with anger in his eyes.

"You seem to have a grudge against your father. But, it's not my place to comment. I will search for him, don't forget about your promise." I said.

"Understood." Kuro nodded affirmatively.

"One more thing, you can ask me for advice if you need one. Who knows maybe I know something that you don't. And, happy cooperation." I offered him a handshake and said with a smile.

"Thank you very much, I will do so if I ever need one. And happy cooperation." Kuro said as he answered my handshake.

We exchanged our contact information and I went back to Izu right after.
