Prank
At Midnight, in the hospital corridor, which was quiet and desolate, there was a nurse walking with a trolley filled with medical equipment.
She seemed to have a slightly scared expression before taking a deep breath and then muttering, "I have to hurry… My job is to change the patient's V bottle in room number 13."
(V Bottle = Infuse Bottle.)
In the corridor, the only sound was the sound of the trolley wheel being pushed and her footsteps being so quiet.
"Number 13...number 13... Ah! here it is."
She opened the door of the patient's room while pushing the trolley, inside, she saw the patient was still not asleep, the patient was a boy who was bandaged like a mummy with only his purple eyes visible, the boy was currently staring at the moon in the window .
That boy is Kouro.
The nurse was a little surprised because Kouro was the patient she treated earlier a few days ago, she just didn't expect that Kouro would be admitted to the hospital again with more serious injuries.
But even so, she wouldn't ask because she wasn't comfortable with Kouro's strange gaze.
With this uncomfortable feeling she quickly changed the V bottle and after finished changing the V bottle, just as she was about to leave the room, she saw Kouro who was looking at her and asking with a soft tone.
"Miss... Do you believe in the existence of ghosts?"
The nurse felt strange about Kouro's question but she answered it anyway, "No. I don't believe in ghosts."
"Then… what is that thing behind you?"
Hearing Kouro's words, she somehow felt goosebumps so she stiffly and slowly looked back.
There's nothing behind it.
The nurse then quickly breathed a sigh of relief and turned her head back towards Kouro.
"Ha ha ha, you're kidding, how could there be a ghost."
Just as she said that she felt someone tap her on the shoulder from behind, the person's palms were icy cold, the nurse wore a frightened expression that even took her breath away.
She stiffly looked back.
A thing covered in a long black robe flew through the air three meters high with a terrifying mask staring at her with something in the shape of a hand patting her shoulder.
"KYAAA GHOST!!!"
The nurse screamed in terror very loudly before her eyes rolled up and she passed out.
Kouro, who had seen it all earlier, had an expression like he was constipated.
"…I didn't expect it to be this effective.'
He looked at the creature called a ghost by the nurse earlier.
It turned out to be not a creature but a long black robe with a scary mask that was controlled by Kouro using the [Dominator's of Touch] ability.
The items came from Kouro's inventory.
At first, he just wanted to play around like doing a prank, but he really didn't expect that it would be so effective.
"…What should I do? Well… Let's get this nurse out first."
He first used the things that looked like a person to carry the nurse using [Dominator's Touch] to take her out.
Kouro carried the nurse with her trolley away about 50 meters from his place.
By the way, after experimenting, the radius of this ability is around 100 meters with a maximum weight of around 100 kilograms.
Having done that, Kouro then put the items back into the inventory and... Sleep.
To the next day, rumors about a ghost in a black robe with a ghastly face spread in the hospital.
And the Perpetrator who caused it all was currently doing push-ups in his room.
Kouro then glanced at his status.
[HP : 14,345/24,400]
After finishing the daily quest, he then unceremoniously used 'Status recovery'.
[HP :24,400/24,400]
Kouro then opened his bandage revealing white and soft like a baby like never before which was full of burns.
"Okay, it's time to leave this hospital."
At first, Kouro wanted to be in the hospital for about a week to practice his [Dominator's touch] ability but due to other circumstances he had to leave today.
Different from what Bronya said earlier, Kouro only needed 2 full days to fully recover.
Kouro who had just been discharged from the hospital then looked at his status.

…
In the evening, at his house.
"I'm back!" Kouro entered his house which was strangely intact after yesterday's fierce battle.
"Welcome back." Someone answered from inside his house.
"Eh?" Kouro wore a confused expression, he didn't expect a tone to answer when he should be living alone right now.
'Could it be them? Because they wanted to celebrate my recovery, so they were waiting at my house?'
He went inside before putting on a blank expression looking at Himeko who was currently watching tv in skimpy clothes while drinking a can of beer and Ayame who was playing a game with Kallen, Kiana, and Bronya.
He then turned his head to the kitchen to see Mei who was cooking.
"…Someone tell me why you all live in my house?"
…
"So you're staying here because Himeko-sensei's house collapsed so Principal Theresa told you to stay here until Himeko-sensei's house is finished being fixed?"
Kouro said after Bronya explained the reason why they were here.
"Yes."
Kouro stared at them especially to Ayame and Kiana for a moment before saying, "…You didn't come to my room did you?"
"…"
Kiana and Ayame's movements stiffened before turning to the side avoiding Kouro's gaze.
Seeing them like that, Kouro then sighed, "…So you guys enter my room."
"…I'm sorry Kouro" x2 Kiana and Ayame lowered their heads.
They were very curious about Kouro's room, moreover the door to his room was still open as if tempting them to enter.
"…Alright."
Himeko who saw their behavior then turned to look at Kouro, "You forgive them just like that?"
"Well… It's not like they broke into my room with stupid reasons like looking for porn magazines."
Kiana and Ayame's movements became stiff again.
"…"
"…"
Kouro looked at them with flat eyes, "Really? You guys came into my room with stupid excuses like that?"
Kiana pointed at Ayame on the side, "Ayame started it! She said that in every boy's room there must be a porn magazine."
"Haa?! Weren't you the one who invited me into Kouro's room first?"
"Enough!" Kouro stopped them.
They quickly stopped fighting before bowing their heads again to Kouro, "Forgive us." x2
Kouro was seen massaging his temples for a moment before saying, "Fine, I'll forgive you if you promise not to do it again."
"We promise." X2 Ayame and Kiana answered in unison.
Kallen and Bronya who were watching from earlier just smiled at their antics.
"By the way Kouro, do you keep any porn magazines?" Himeko asked in an interested tone.
"No," Kouro answered firmly.
'There's no way I'd keep such a thing in a clearly discoverable place.'
Kouro really didn't mind they living in his house, the only thing that he had to think now is about how to survive from a Herrscher.
He was afraid that at night while he was sleeping, he would be disturbed by one of these Herrschers especially after saying embarrassing things to them earlier.
Moreover Herrscher Ayame, After all, just imagine when you are sleeping and suddenly you will be raped by her, it's really not funny.
So, after thinking for a while, he then looked at Himeko with a serious expression earlier.
"HImeko, let me sleep with you tonight."
HImeko spat out the beer she was drinking and choked loudly.
Simultaneously Kouro felt the aura of death from all directions.
(A/N : You are sure really like playing with fire, Kouro.)
