Chereads / Tsumibito / Chapter 6 - Medbay

Chapter 6 - Medbay

Recap:sir Scott effortlessly killed the sin of Arson,oh and hori's in the hospital.

Hori:*gasp!*

She wakes up quickly jolting on the bed.

She was still wearing the clothes haruki bought for her but they were dirty with blood and torn.

Hataki:oh thank goodness you're awake!

It was a female hataki with blue eyes, she was cleaning an elderly.

Hataki:... wait, your awake?!

Hori:.... hello, there

Hori said with a smile.

She glanced around the room she's in,it was a hospital ward.

Other patients were laid on the beds at her left and right.

Hataki: don't hello there me!we haven't treated you yet, how are you awake?!

Hori: that is true,I recall having a huge hole at my abdomen.

Hori:(could this be related to the contract?)

Hataki:(should I tell the higher ups about this?)

Hataki:(maybe she's a priest?, that must explain the healing)

Hori:ehm... excuse me, I'm I at SHO?

Narrator:SHO stands for sin hunting organization, they are in charge of EVERYTHING concerning sins and sinners.

Narrator:, whether it's extermination, selling, training e.t.c

Hataki:oh this isn't SHO

She layed down the elderly she was cleaning.

Hataki: were simply at the treatment center, well it's technically still a branch of SHO but it's called the medbay, wait were you going?!

She said referring to hori, seeing as she was leaving.

Hori:oh I wouldn't want to impose any further.

Hori: I am fully healed so I best be on my way.

Hataki:(what a polite girl!)

Hori: bye bye.

She said smiling and waving at the hataki.

Hataki:... ehm...(Should I really allow her to leave?!)

Hataki:oh she already left.

Hori was walking towards the entrance door to leave.

Hori:(the real reason I left is to go look for haruki san body.)

She leaves the building and starts walking, looking for Haruki's body.

Hori:(he's relatives deserve to bury him)

Narrator: about burials when are you having yours?

Hori:(oh your referring to my what my father said?)

She was talking about father jiro's words,"I will be announcing your death today".

Hori:(you should ask my father not me)

She said in a slightly harsh tone.

Narrator:.... are you angry?

Hori:.... well... not at you,I just feel irritated by how sins and sinners kill people on a daily basis!

Hataki: people die all the time because of sins! so don't go mopping around because one guy died!!

She remembered what that hataki said.

Hori:(narrator.... I've made a decision!)

Narrator: and what's that?

Hori:(I'm going to join SHO!)

She said clenching her fist!

She had arrived at were the sin of Arson attacked.

Matsumoto springs, but it's all destroyed and burnt.

Hori:(oh goodness, it's all burnt down)

She said referring to the hot springs.

Narrator:... you want to become a priest?

Hori heads inside the blemished hot springs.

Hori:if it means preventing something like this from happening, then ABSOLUTELY!

Hori wanders around searching for Haruki's corpse.

Narrator: but what about your contract?

Hori:....I mean....I can be a priest and find a way to undo it.

Hori: besides, it's like what haruki san said,I won't find any answers related to sins,if I don't join SHO.

Hori: they deal with everything related to sins!

Hori still searches for the body.

Hori: were is he?!

She sits down on the rubble,

Hori:*growl*

Hori:....*sigh*, I eat too much.

Man: woah so a sin was here?!

A voice produced by figures stepping into the hot springs.

Hori:*gasp*(someone's coming!)

Hori:(wait I'm I even meant to be here?)

Man 2:yh! I think it was arson.

Hori rushes to hide behind a wall.

Woman: woooooah this is so rad! people died here!

Man 3:ha sucks to be them!

Woman: fucking wusses can't even take on a sin!

Man: yh I heard it was a weak one!

"Hahahahah* they all mocked the incident.

Hori:...

Hori:... you shouldn't speak rudely about the dead!

Man: the fuck?

Hori comes out of her hiding spot.

Man 2:who the fuck are you?!a hobo?

He was referring to hori's dirty clothes.

Man:yh and why you covered in blood?!

Hori:.... apologize!,my friend died here today, so apologize for what you said!

Woman: bitch the fuck you even doin here?!

One of the men walks towards her.

Man:....or what?

Woman: c'mon it's not fucking worth it, let's just go.

Man 2:yh dude she's a kid, and didn't you say you'll soon turn?

Narrator: "turn" is referring to triggering the curse.

Narrator:in this verse, when a person sins too much they trigger the curse.

Narrator: turning them into a sinner.

Narrator: so that sinner of sloth hori saw as her first time.

Narrator: was once a person that lazed around too much, triggering the curse and turning him into a sinner of sloth.

Man 3:yh and I heard sinners of violence are crazy strong soooo.

Narrator: the thug that's now threatening hori is likely to soon trigger the curse and turn into a sinner of violence.

Man: everyone shut the fuck up!

Man: c'mon kid I asked you a question, what you gonna do?

Hori:.... apologize....or I'll break your nose!

She clenched her fist.

Man:... pfft! What the fuck! y'all hearing this bitch?!

Woman:my girl got balls I like that!

*Dark frame*

The backgrounds saturation reduces to zero leaving only hori and the thug with color.

Narrator:as I mentioned earlier, dark frame happens when a character is about to perform something impressive.

Woman: holy shit,a dark frame?

Man 2: shits about to get real now!

Man: what a load of-

*Splshk!* Hori's fist was in his face! his entire nose caved in.

Man 2: what the fuck?!

Woman:*blurgh*

She threw up.

Man 3: the dark frame was because of her?!,a brat like this!?

Hori:I don't like violence!, so please apologize to prevent me from going further!

Man 3: his fucking nose caved in!

Woman: stop standing there you pussies go fuck her up!

The 2 remaining men were about to rush towards hori.

Haruki: heyyoooo what's all the commotion?!!

He interrupted before they began fighting.

Hori:.... haruki san?!

Haruki:hori?!

Haruki and hori: your alive?!!?

Haruki was wearing a big black plain sweater and grey jeans with red and white shoes.

Woman:oi haru!, come help us with something!

Hori rushes and hugs haruki.

Haruki: woah,I miss you too, wait.... how are you alive?!

Man 3:haru you know this kid?

Haruki: dude were almost the same age, kids a little bit too much.

Hori didn't say anything, still clinging on haruki.

Man 2: (fuck, seems like they know each other), just carry him let's go.

He said referring to the man hori had punched..... and broke his nose.

Woman: thanks for nothing haru!*fuck you finger*

Haruki:yh I'll see you guys later.

The NPCs carry the man and they left.

Hori: thank goodness you're alive.

Hori: but how tho,I checked your pulse and it wasn't there.

She released haruki from her grip.

Haruki:oh that's normal, sins don't have pulses.

Hori:(oh I forgot, haruki san is a sin!)

Haruki and hori:...

The area brooding silence as the 2 of them were left alone.

Haruki (This is awkward!)

Hori:....my deepest condolences towards Matsumoto San.

She bowed her head.

She was talking about the owner of the hot springs who was Haruki's friend.

Haruki:oh...
