5. Coffee Comes Back (End)

5. Coffee will return (complete)

“Before the operation begins, I need to prepare for this and that, so please wait for about a week. In the meantime, you’d better prepare your mind. It will probably be a difficult operation.”

The chairman put all sorts of savory-smelling health foods on the table and disappeared, claiming to be nutritional supplements that he usually eats. Of course, when I saw that I had dealt with many senior mercenaries in the original world, it seemed close to just taking care of what was in my pocket.

Earth Spirit Stone, also known as Earth Stone, could be dangerous if I had one, so he said he would keep it for now and bring it to the surgery.

So there is only one thing left for me… No, one piece.

“I should use this when needed.”

A 1st stage magic release approval ticket.

Anyway, even if you try to release your magic now, you will only be eaten by the Simma, so the right to approve the release of your magic is close to a real one after all. I will write this after the operation is over. I put it in my arms and sighed.

Why are you so distracted?

It’s amazing to think that it’s been less than two weeks since I was summoned to the middle dimension. The density of life can be so high. In terms of time felt, it seems to have been almost two months.

“…After the surgery, shall we rest for a while?”

Since I came to a place called the academy, and since I made some friends, I had a strong desire to lead a leisurely life while drinking coffee. Sometimes I have tea with Orien and have a conversation, have some coffee with Machia-senpai or Professor Sui, and do group assignments with Cynthia and Eid.

A sudden laugh came out.

It’s no different, Id and Cynthia had visited the hospital several times before. Id was at his own pace, not showing any sign of deterioration even though he had been terrorized a while ago, and when he learned that his oil drum helped knock Clay down, he insisted that it was his fault.

Of course, the ending ended with everyone laughing thanks to Cynthia being right next to her and blowing Id’s slap appropriately.

Anyway, before clay.

In fact, my memories of the time are mostly hazy due to the drug energy and pain. I can’t even remember how the battle went, but the decisive moment was still deeply embedded in my mind.

That was the moment when I opened the wave of fire with only the sword wind.

It’s a perfect battle to fall asleep while imagining.

‘Then I… it might have been cool… ‘

I hope my friends will remind me of that battle later at my funeral, and I slowly lay down on the bed and fell asleep…

Time flies fast and the day of surgery approaches.

Thankfully, Makia and Sui visited the hospital every single day. Thanks to Macchia’s bringing her newspaper and coffee, her mouth wasn’t bored, and she was at ease because she could easily keep track of how the world outside was going on.

Sui talked about how the academy was running and what kind of education the students were receiving.

I don’t know how much comfort I received from those two. After you’re discharged from the hospital, you’ll have to pay back.

Meanwhile.

“…This is still there today.”

In one corner of the hospital room, there was Wins’ coffee cup, which now occupied a seat like a reserved seat.

It’s not true, but it’s said that Winds caused quite a stir in her academia after receiving the approval of the 4th level magical release from her board president. She is the second student in history to officially receive magical liberation approval, following Orien. You can now cast warming magic without paying attention.

A cup where steam still blooms even though no action has been taken. Looking at it, my feelings were mixed.

Makia seemed to have noticed that I was starting to feel uncomfortable with Wins, so when I talked about Wins, he became restless and looked at me. She still thinks she is a classmate and a friend. She is timid in some odd way, anyway.

“Ah… “

There is nothing wrong with coffee, but somehow, thinking of Winds made me feel stuffy. It’s to the point where I wonder if there’s anyone else in Academia who hates me that much. So now I’m trying to avoid it on my own, but why is it suddenly attacking coffee?

Maybe this is a form of bullying?

Suddenly, such a thought flashed through my mind.

It doesn’t sound like a very unlikely story when I think about the way I used to have seizures, but I soon gave up on that idea. At a time when vigilantes are busy, why bother me in such a sincere way?

I came to the conclusion that it was just a small display of affection for the person who took care of the evil circle instead.

As soon as I hold the cup, I can feel the warmth that is maintained just right for drinking, enough to put my mouth on it right away.

“…..”

I thought about just drinking it like this, but in the end I lowered the glass. If I drink it while thinking about the small face that only turns toward me, I feel like I’ll get sick just by drinking water. I didn’t do anything wrong, but it was strange.

I looked left and right at the empty hospital room and opened the window. Anyway, right under the window is a flower bed. It seems that it doesn’t matter if I pour coffee water on it, so I quickly emptied the cup after confirming that there were no people on the ground.

I was full anyway, and it seemed like I didn’t empty what I gave, so this was the only way.

“Kuhm.”

It pricks my conscience a little, but what? Appearance is what matters.

Makia, who was heading straight to the lab as usual after finishing her regular department classes.

“Hmm?”

The advisory on the wall caught her attention for a while. There it was written:

‘Among the warriors from Arcane, only those with excellent grades will be given the opportunity to observe the rare surgery in two days.’

Makia was a horse I had never seen before. Below, there was even a supplementary explanation that the director was in charge. It was a topic that could not be overlooked.

Unsurprisingly, I could hear the raucous noise of the students talking about this in the hallway ahead.

If you are late, the opportunity may be lost. Of course, Makia’s grades were quite high even in undergraduate studies, but if she was going to do it, it would be better to apply as soon as possible.

“Hmm…..”

Makia sighed briefly, but soon realized that she was nothing to worry about and tore off a piece of her advice. She was going straight to her department to apply.

But she had an idea.

‘Come to think of it, wasn’t Alem’s surgery two days later?’

Two days later, she was informed that she would be discharged from the hospital as soon as the operation was completed. She’s been told so she won’t look for herself until the day she is today.

Makia trembled at the slightest sense of uneasiness. She’s like this, and if she fits right in, it’s something suspicious. Well, the medical staff at Academia are so talented that it’s not too much of a concern, but I couldn’t stop myself from wondering how large-scale it was if the president of the hospital was involved in the operation.

If a while ago I was going to observe the operation as a pure engineer, now I feel that I must observe it, even if I am curious about someone who might be on the operating table.

Makia grabbed her chest, which was thumping nervously, and headed to her department room.

Winds was lying dazed on the sofa in her office.

“What was it… “

I saw something strange this morning.

Among the hospitalized members of the Phobos Circle, some who had been seriously injured were said to have come to their senses, so even Chwi himself went to the hospital.

She went around the building and only stepped into the necessary areas so that she wouldn’t bump into Alem by any chance.

The moment I accidentally saw the window of the floor where he was staying from afar.

‘…..I must have read it wrong.’

You dared to throw away the coffee that was fine? That stupidly nice guy? Winds shook his head, feeling like an idiot who kept delusing like this.

“Oh, sh*t. Like Chinta… “

Winds made up his mind.

Whether it’s porridge or rice, beat your head first. It didn’t suit her spirit to be so nervous behind her back. Come to think of it, I haven’t apologized properly yet. No matter how bad the situation was, it wasn’t that the opportunity was zero. In the end, it was a matter of mindset.

It’s up to Alem to forgive, and until then, Winds can only express her sincerity, no matter what.

The first step is to make up your mind.

Winds jumped up from the couch. Then his aide, Ron, took up his studies.

“Captain, are you going to the hospital again?”

“Uh, why?”

“Ugh, how many times a day do I have an excuse… “

“…..”

Winds escaped from the office as if he were running away from the uncomfortable truth.

However, contrary to Wins’ plan, she couldn’t meet Alem. He was blocked at the very first entrance.

The nurse at the reception smiled apologetically.

“Alem has a major surgery scheduled from today. Although she is in the preparation stage, she cannot meet outsiders because it is a special order from the chairman. Her surgery is over in two days, so I would appreciate it if you could come back then.”

“Ah…. Yes… “

Turning to the receptionist’s kind response, Winds stared blankly at the door of the operating room that was firmly closed.

Two days later.

Winds clenched his fists as if determined.

At that time, you will find yourself first.

Winds went back to the reception desk and handed the nurse something. It was a coffee carrier.

“If you get a chance, please give this to Alem.”

“Yes?”

“It’s a cafe latte. He said he liked it the most.”

Winds said triumphantly and wiped her nose.

“Ah…”

The nurse who actually accepted it became a mysterious expression. Because one of the patients’ most requested requests was to treat coffee from the same cup as this one.

However, the nurse, who had a strong sense of kindness, struggled to accept the coffee by raising the corner of his mouth.

“…Yes, I’ll be sure to deliver it.”

“Please!”

Winds, who held down his mana so that the warming magic could last for several days, left the hospital proudly.
