Chapter 3: Discharge From Hospital

The hospital where Kazuya admitted, was affiliated with the University School of Medicine in City Z, and it was also the largest hospital in City Z.

There were three buildings in this hospital; the inpatient building, the outpatient building, and the maternity and children's building. Each building has thick walls, and its defense strength was similar to that of a shelter.

Moreover, there were towering walls around the hospital, and there were armed guards at the main entrance and the back entrance, There were more than 20 people in one shift.

As the largest hospital in City Z, it has a relatively high protection priority.

There were also many well-trained strong men among the guards. If they were put in the future, most of them would be at the level of C-level heroes, and a few of them could even reach the end of B-level.

Their tacit cooperation, coupled with powerful firearms, could kill even weaker Tiger-level monsters.

[Disaster Level in one punch man: weak to strong, Wolf, Tiger, Demon, Dragon, and God]

As for Demon-level monsters, they could only wait for the support of stronger ones. Even in the future, if they do not reach the strength of the top A-level monsters, they will only be slaughtered by Demon-level monsters.

Kazuya left the hospital building and went directly to the convenience store near the gate.

The hospital here was equipped with a large convenience store which sells a lot of items. On both sides of the gate were umbrellas, raincoats, and hangers. Behind the hangers, near the window, was a bookshelf, storing magazines and newspapers.

There were fruits, bananas, apples, and persimmons on the shelf across the aisle from the bookshelves.

Going horizontally and deeply, this area sells daily necessities, ranging from toothbrushes, toothpaste, and mouthwash cups, to wheelchairs and crutches, as well as some medical equipment, such as inhalation nebulizers, needles, and masks.

Further on, there was a large amount of food. There were about two horizontal rows of shelves containing a large number of snacks; energy bars, chocolate cakes, persimmon cakes, biscuits, and so on.

On the opposite wall, was a row of refrigerators, with a large number of bento boxes below and a variety of beverages above.

Kazuya went straight to the end and checked the bento, because, at night, most of them had been sold out, leaving only a small part.

Tonkatsu rice bowl, shrimp fried rice with seafood sauce, eel rice bowl, beef rice bowl, etc.

The prices of these bento boxes range from high to low, with the cheap ones at 300 yen and the high ones at around 500 yen.

The portions were very small, one serving was not enough for adults, and two servings were a bit full.

Kazuya could be regarded as a big eater, eating four or five servings was no problem, a meal costs 2,000 yen, and even a half-price bento was not cheap, Otherwise, why would he participate in the big eater competition?

"40% off, cheaper than half price."

Kazuya glanced at the label, because it was almost twelve o'clock, and after the night, these lunch boxes would basically be recycled.

Kazuya picked up six bento boxes and two bottles of water, and went to the cashier to pay.

"Do you want all of these?"

The cashier boy was a little surprised when he saw this scene.

"It's not just me eating alone," Kazuya said with a smile.

The cashier boy understood, as he calculated the price and said with a smile, "The price after tax is 1,800 yen, 40% off is 720 yen, two bottles of water are 200 yen, the total is 920 yen."

"Here's your money."

Kazuya handed the money to the cashier's brother, took the remaining money, and took away the packaged food.

He didn't go back to the ward immediately, but came not far from the inpatient building, sat on a chair, and opened the bento.

The amount of six servings was too much to carry back, so he didn't take it to the ward to eat, Moreover, he was too hungry to walk.

Kazuya opened a fried pork cutlet rice bento and tore off the plastic wrap. From the outside, it looked like a lot, but after opening it, it wasn't too much.

Kazuya picked up the chopsticks and started eating with big mouthfuls. He put the pork chops in his mouth, swallowed them in two bites, and then put the rice into his mouth.

After eating, he drank a few sips of water, but his stomach was still empty.

Another serving.

Kazuya opened another beef rice bowl. The gravy had permeated into the rice. The rice had no grainy texture and became soft. It tasted a little salty and the taste was not good.

But he didn't care about it so much and gobbled it up.

It took more than ten minutes, all four lunch boxes were eaten, and a bottle of water got empty, but Xia Dong still had some desire to eat.

"These two for go back and eat."

Kazuya threw away the bento box he had eaten, then picked up the remaining two bento boxes and walked towards the hospital building.

But as soon as he walked downstairs, his stomach felt warm again, even hotter than last time.

"What is going on?" Kazuya couldn't figure it out, he wasn't in pain. In contrast, he felt a little comfortable.

This time the warmth was a bit longer than last time, but it disappeared without a trace in just a dozen seconds.

"It's fine now," Kazuya didn't understand, as he directly took the elevator upstairs and returned to the ward, where his sister was still writing manuscripts on the bed.

"Sister, do you want to eat?"

Kazuya walked not far away with his bento.

"I'm not hungry, you can eat."

Chiaki shook his head, her eyes swept over Kazuya, and then on the computer.

So Kazuya took out the remaining two lunch boxes and continued to eat.

Six lunch boxes.

The amount of food eaten was larger than before, filling Kazuya's stomach.

He doesn't know how long it could last, but in a sleeping state, human body's metabolism slows down, energy consumption is greatly reduced, and it should be able to last longer.

Kazuya burped, packed up, went to the bathroom to wash hands, and then returned to bed.

He leaned on his sister's gentle body, his head on her shoulder, and the heat in his abdomen flowed all over his body.

In the warm bed, Kazuya fell asleep.

This was the first night in this world, and also the beginning of Kazuya's new life.

. . .

Early the next morning, Kazuya was directly woken up by starvation. It was only five o'clock in the morning when he woke up, and he only slept for more than five hours.

Enduring hunger until 6:30, he went to the cafeteria to have a big meal, and then Kazuya returned to the ward with breakfast for his sister. After her sister finished eating, she planned to leave the hospital.

After the doctor's examination, there was no problem. Under Kazuya's constant pleading, his sister agreed to his request to be discharged from the hospital.

The two took the bus home, arrived at the station near the University of Z City, got off the bus, and went to the nearby streets to buy ingredients.

Then the two walked for a certain distance and came to a building, which was a four-story house with a dark gray appearance, and there were exposed gray metal guardrails at the connection points of each floor.

The two entered the fourth floor, and when they reached 402, Chiaki took out the key and opened the door, and the two walked in.

This was a rented house for two people, with one bedroom, one living room, and one kitchen, with a total of 22 square meters and a monthly rent of 60,000 yen.

This price was relatively high. In this world, rents were polarized, because of the existence of monsters, some rents were high, and some rents were relatively low.

The building structure and the strength of the walls were excellent, which could ensure that the Wolf-Level monsters cannot destroy the walls. Even if the Tiger-Level monsters destroy a wall, the house would not collapse.

With the government subsidies, the price of 60,000 yen was quite a bargain.

In other places, the price of traditionally built houses in more dangerous areas was only 10,000 to 20,000 yen, and many places were even unoccupied.

The reason why they chose to rent a house here was that it is relatively close to the university.

To go to school, Kazuya only needs to ride a bicycle, while Chiaki takes a bus, which was quite convenient.

The house was not too big, and there was only one bedroom, which seemed a little narrow, there wasn't any bed, so two of them slept in the same room with a futon at night.

Although the house was small, the siblings depended on each other were very happy.
