4 Quest

As soon as classes finished, Kosuke walked over to where Eiji who was still absentminded due to the new transfer student, Kurenai Rin, saying, "Huh? Did Eiji Hoshimiya fall head over heels to the new girl?" with surprise in his face.

To which Eiji, who was embarrassed, replied in denial as he flailed his hands, "Wh-what do you mean, idiot! I-I don't like her or anything!"

'Ah, what a tsundere.' Kosuke lightly smiled.

But that wasn't all. Although his reply was only heard by Kosuke and some classmates, strangely, as if the boys had an acute hearing sense, heard what Eiji said and looked at him as they glared daggers at him. If looks could kill, then Eiji would've died countless times.

'What?! Are you saying that Rin-chan isn't cute?!' was that kind of message shown on their faces as they looked at Eiji with hostility.

Sensing the malicious aura of the boys in class, Eiji shivered as if he's about to experience something bad if he doesn't clear up the situation.

"I-I didn't mean it that way! She's very cute and I--" Eiji stopped midway in clearing it up when he saw Kosuke smirking at him ear-to-ear.

"Ahhh Kosuke I'll get you for this!!" Shouted Eiji as he got up his seat and chases after Kosuke.

"Ahahaha, if you can!" Kosuke replied as he run in fear of the wrath of his friend.

After their friendly banter ended, they rest for a while, catching their breath. Soon, Kosuke told Eiji, "Yo Eiji, I'm going to visit Sena-chan okay?" to which he replied, "Yeah, sure. See ya." as he got his bag and went out of the classroom to go home.

"See ya." After bidding farewell to Eiji, Kosuke went out of school, going to the Hoshimiya General Hospital where Sena Hoshimiya, Eiji's stepsister, currently resides.

----Hoshimiya General Hospital----

As Kosuke entered the hospital, he went to the information desk where a female nurse was stationed there, working on some papers or something.

Kosuke went to the counter and said, "Ah hello, may I ask where the patient Sena Hoshimiya is?"

The female nurse who was working on papers, presumably from the hospital's look upward to see who's inquiring. She saw a handsome young man, with black hair and crimson eyes. Her heart skipped a beat as she saw Kosuke.

'H-he's so handsome...' The nurse thought.

"Hello?"

As she was looking at Kosuke with a dazed look on her face, he called out to her again, waking her up from her stupor.

"A-ah, yes! Sena Hoshimiya, is it? her room is in Room XXX, on the west wing of the hospital."

Hearing the information he needed, Kosuke gave his thanks to the nurse as he went towards Sena's room.

Seeing his figure walk away, the nurse can't help but look at his body and his posture and remembering his handsome face, the nurse blushed heavily as she started to drift off her thoughts, turning it pink but she composed her before it was too late.

'Eh! W-w-w-why did I think of such indecent thoughts? Keep yourself composed. You still have work!' The nurse slapped herself and continued her nurse duties, albeit working with a tinge of red in her cheeks.

----Room XXX, Hoshimiya General Hospital---

Standing in front of a room with the nameplate "Sena Hoshimiya" on it, silently nervous as he was going to meet the one who really cause the Great Destruction. Even though he wasn't there firsthand, that destructive power of that magnitude as portrayed in both manga and anime made it all the more reason for Kosuke to be cautious around her. Steeling his resolve, Kosuke knocked on the door.

Knock. Knock.

"Come in." A young girl's voice replied on the other side of the door.

With her consent, Kosuke entered the room. As he went inside, a girl wearing the hospital gown, having long, orange hair and blue eyes was looking at him.

Both locked eyes for a moment until Sena cried out, "Kosuke-nii!"

Hearing her words, Kosuke was shocked. Hearing those words made him remember about his past life. He almost cried as he remembered his past, but that's a story from another time.

Smiling warmly at her, Kosuke said, "Hey there Sena-chan, your big bro is here to visit you today!" He went to sit at the chair near Sena's bed as he ruffles her hair to which she giggled happily.

"Ehehe~, I didn't know that you'll visit today, I'm happy~" Sena said as she bobbed her head while smiling.

'She's so cute,' Kosuke thought.

"Don't worry Sena-chan I'll stay with you the whooole afternoon!"

"Yay! Thank you, Kosuke-nii! Uhm, but where's big brother?"

"Oh, Eiji? He just went home for a bit. I think he'll visit you soon."

"Really?? Okay! Ehehehehe~" Sena smiled happily as both of her big brothers might visit her today.

Sena knew Kosuke as her big brother Eiji's close friend, nay, the only that he has. He's been with him ever since they were kids as both of their fathers worked together. After the death of their parents due to the Great Destruction 10 years ago, Kosuke accompanied both of them, especially Sena-chan. This is turn made Sena and Kosuke close to each other, making her call Kosuke her 'brother' in name.

While she was off on her own world, Kosuke thought, 'Can't I use Star Platinums's healing ability from Crazy Diamond to cure Sena?' he thought about it but he already knew that answer to that and Alfred reminded him,

[Host should know that Crazy Diamond's restoration power cannot cure illnesses as the victims are not classified as "damaged". Also, their abilities are enhanced and not upgraded to the point where its restoration ability is enabled to fix all of those restrictions.The only restriction that was bypassed is that you are now able to heal yourself with Crazy Diamond's ability.]

'Damn it!' Kosuke cursed in his mind.

'Is there a way to cure Sena?!'

[Yes Host. Host can buy the Heavenly Soul Replenishing Elixir in the System Shop.]

"Show me the item Alfred!"

[

]

'What? 5 million SP?!' Kosuke thought who looked at his SP cut short of 4,000,000 SP to buy the item.

'So, it's impossible to cure her then?!' He angrily thought to himself.

[Host can have the chance of acquiring the item through the mission rewards from quests.]

'Really?!' Kosuke exclaimed in surprise.

It happened in his thoughts of course.

But before he got to make Alfred elaborate further, his thoughts were cut off as Sena told him, "Kosuke-nii, Big brother said that he'll come visit here!"

'Huh? So he already encountered the 'assassin' Kurenai Rin, which means it won't be long until Sena becomes a hostage.' Kosuke thought.

"Really? Okay Sena-chan, let's go meet your big brother downstairs.

"Yay, thank you Kosuke-nii!" Sena said.

Kosuke responds by ruffling her hair, making her giggle.

The two prepared going downstairs but before Kosuke opened the door, words popped out in front of him from the system.

[Ding!
