Chapter 19 - Hospital Talks

Sap- So... Is he dead?*points at Ken*

Haisha- Nah... He can't be dead...

Ken- Yeah... I possibly can't...

Sap- Oh... Okay...

Haisha- So... How long have you been awake for?

Ken- Well... If you wanna inquire of whether I heard you crying over my deceased body or not, I absolutely did...

Haisha- Eh?! I did nothing like that...

Ken- Wow... You're such a great friend... You didn't even shed a tear after seeing me like that...

Kaori- I know right... He is... So.....

Sap- Bad?

Kaori- No!!

Ken- Horrible?

Kaori- No!!

Haisha- Selfish....?

Kaori- YES!! THAT'S IT!! YOU'RE SELFISH!!

Sap- Well... Seems like the dog knows its worth...

Ken- Yeah...

Haisha- Okay... Can you guys stop?

Kaori- No...

Haisha- Okay... Kaori-san... Where did you come from? I never saw you...

Kaori- Magic....?

Sap- Your memory has been altered... And that probably altered the text as well...

Haisha- But doesn't her ability---

Sap- Nope... That's what you think...

Haisha- I saw her---

Sap- That was just a fake memory that she created to make you believe that she has another ability... And... Kaori-san... Can you please stop trying to change my memory? Like... It isn't working...

Kaori- WHY ARE YOU SO OVERPOWERED?!

Sap- You think you can manipulate my memory through mana when mana gets dispelled once I touch it? It's the same as the doc's ability... Your mana has to stay in the person to have their memory converted... I just have multiple vague memories of what happened...

Kaori- That's just cheating at this point...

Ken- Well... You're naturally strong against Kaori but you can't do anything against me...

Sap- Ah... And there goes all my confidence...

Kaori- Well... He may be immune to my ability, but I think I can defeat him easily too...

Sap- How about we go back to picking on Haisha and not me....?

Kaori- Nope... I'm altering his memory right now...

Sap- Uhm--- Okay....?

Kaori- It takes time to alter someone's memory so much... My ability specializes in searching through someone's memories and not changing them...

Sap- Uhm... Okay...

Haisha- Okay... Kaori-san... Where did you come from? I never saw you...

Kaori- Magic....?

Sap- Makes sense...

Ken- Absolutely does...

Haisha- Uhm... No....?

Sap- Yup... It does... It absolutely does...

Kaori- Wow... You guys have been really supportive...

Sap- I know right... It's like this whole thing already happened once and we're now just repeating it without any mistakes...

Ken- Wow... That's something I never pondered about... That is actually a fantastic introspection...

Sap- Yeah... Imagine our memories being distorted... We wouldn't be able to trust anything or anyone...

Kaori- I knew you were a traitor...

Haisha- But he doesn't use a gun...

Ken- Yet...

Kaori- I didn't mean it that way...

Sap- So... Did you mean it sexually?

Ken- A gun that shoots out white bullets...

Haisha- But this gun is white... Unlike most other guns...

Sap- Ah... I thought it was blue...

Kaori- What the----

Ken- Why are we doing this?

Sap- I don't know...

Haisha- How long has it been?

Sap- 2 minutes and 45 seconds...?

Ken- Well... I need more accurate data...

Sap- Well... It's 2 minutes 69 seconds now...

Ken- Did you have to pull that card like that?!

Haisha- Gawd!! We're visiting a guy near death!! Why are we doing this?!

Kaori- Who's near death?

Haisha- Ken?

Sap- Uhm...

Ken- Uhm---

Kaori- Uhm---

Haisha- Uhm---

Sap- Uhm---

Ken- I've departed the mortal realm?

Kaori- Ken is dead?

Sap- We've been talking to a ghost?

Haisha- No!! He isn't dead... But... Isn't he seriously wounded?!

Kazuto- No?

Haisha- You were the one who told me he was!!

Kazuto- Well... I just said that she destroyed his heart...

Sap- Wait... Did you really say that?

Kazuto- I forgot what I said... Almost as if someone manipulated my memories...

Kaori- I didn't do it...

Ken- Well... This isn't the first time I lost a heart... Actually... My heart is made of my mana... So... Yeah...

Sap- So... Are all your veins made of it as well?

Ken- Yeah...

Sap- Ah... So that explains why you have such great control over your ability...

Ken- Wait... How did you figure that out?!

Kazuto- Wow... I didn't expect you to be so smart...

Sap- More like knowledgeable...

Kaori- What are you guys talking about?

Ken- Uhm... Can you fellas get out of this chamber for a moment?

Kaori- What do you mean? I won't leave you alone here... Not in this state...

Kazuto- Well... Let her stay... But... Let me bring in another person as well...

Ken- Oh well... Okay...

Haisha- Well... Can I stay as well?

Ken- No?

Sap- No?

Kazuto- No...

Kaori- Nope...

Haisha- Okay I'll---

Sap- Yeah... Go!!

Haisha- Wait... I lost connection...

Kazuto- Maybe you ran out of mana...

Haisha- I'm a level 9... How could I?

Kazuto- Maybe because you were carrying Sap... He sucked up your mana...

Haisha- Ugh... Oh well... Anyways... Should I go help the doc then?

Kazuto- Oh... Well... You can certainly help her...

Doc- Yeah... Just look after the patients for me *pushes him out and closes the door*

Sap- Uhm---

Doc- We shouldn't waste any more time... Let's talk about that...

Ken- Yeah... It's bizarre how he knows about it...

Sap- Well... Kazuto... Are you connected now?

Kazuto- So... You know about that too?

Sap- Yeah...

Ken- Seems like we need to have a good talk...

Sap- I thought I'd be dead by now...

Kazuto- I had thought about that, to be honest... But it'll be better to get as much information out of you as I can...

Sap- Why not use Kaori? She can go through memories...

Ken- Do you have a death wish?

Sap- Okay... Let's just talk it out like a team.. .
