At Nightingale's suggestion, Ian arranged the injured people in the corresponding rooms one by one.
Finally, the two men came to a little girl.
She was in very bad condition and not in good spirits - this was the most important thing to note in advance when caring for the injured.
However, before coming into contact with the little girl, Nightingale pulled Ian back.
"Although it may be a bit presumptuous to say so, and it may also be a bit unreasonable."
"But if I may--"
"I want you to follow through on whatever this little girl says later."
"please."
"..."
As the true director of Chaldea, Ian fully understood Nightingale's intention.
People need hope.
A life without seeing the future and feeling no hope is destined to be on the road to destruction.
And Nightingale's behavior at this moment is to allow this path to continue indefinitely.
"Okay, I see."
After receiving Nightingale's guidance, Ian and she came to the little girl together.
Obviously, even as a singularity, the people here are real and not NPCs.
The moment she saw Nightingale, the little girl's expression became noticeably happier - this was a reaction that only came when she saw hope.
However, she soon noticed Ian next to Nightingale, and immediately became cautious again.
"Sister Nightingale, this is..."
"Ian Pendragon." The nurse gave her answer very directly. "You can call him Brother Ian."
"..."
With Nightingale's introduction, the little girl felt a little relieved.
However, it seemed that it was precisely because of this reassurance that she asked the following questions.
"That--"
"Sister Nightingale, what is your relationship with Brother Ian? I've never heard you mention him before."
"..."
Ian really didn't know how to answer this question for a moment.
But before he could think about it for a while, the little girl started asking and answering her own questions.
"I see!"
"This must be Nightingale's companion! Great! This way, we don't have to worry about Nightingale having no time to take care of herself because she's taking care of us!"
"..."
This is certainly not what Ian wanted it to be.
Or should I say——
This is an unconscionable fraud.
After all, although there were indeed some inappropriate contacts with Nightingale, it was ultimately just a misunderstanding between the two people.
If this develops into further misunderstanding, the problem will be serious.
Let me explain it clearly first!
"listen to me……"
"This is what happened." Before Ian could explain the situation to the little girl, Nightingale had already chosen the path.
She answered directly, then naturally took Ian's arm, acting like a little bird.
of course.
This wasn't because she was really being docile, but rather she was taking this opportunity to communicate with Ian quietly.
"Please—people here really need this kind of hope."
"Although this may be difficult for you, please."
There are other things that Ian may not be able to do.
But this man is the best at pretending to be a partner.
"Well, Nightingale is right." Ian reached out and gently stroked the nurse's head, and his tone became gentler.
"I came here because I heard about the situation here."
"How is it? Do you like the new hospital my brother built?"
"Hey!" The little girl's eyes were filled with surprise and joy. "So you're the one who turned the hospital into this state?"
"Brother Ian, you are so awesome!"
After all, they were just children, and they didn't think at all about how such a big hospital could become what it is now in such a short time.
There was only indescribable happiness in her tone.
That was a sign of regained hope, and it was also the scene that Nightingale most wanted to see.
"Nightingale, it seems I did pretty well, didn't I?"
"……Um."
The nurse nodded.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome—being able to take this opportunity to touch your hand is a good deal for me."
"Did you say that to the other girls?"
"No, I'll say it differently."
"……Good for you."
Ian had gradually become accustomed to Nightingale's way of speaking.
Actually, it’s not difficult to judge - her emotions are not on her face, but in her words.
"that!"
The little girl spoke again.
"Brother Ian, Sister Nightingale, can you come sit over here?"
"..."
Although such a request seemed a bit subtle, Ian did not refuse her request, but sat down with Nightingale.
"what happened?"
"nothing!"
The little girl took Ian and Nightingale's hands on her left and right, then looked at them each and continued.
"that--"
"Actually, there's something I haven't dared to say."
"..."
Sensing that there was something wrong with the little girl's tone, Ian's tone of voice also changed.
"It's okay, don't bear it."
"I came here to solve your problem."
"So, if there's anything, just tell me directly—I'll definitely find a solution for you."
Having temporarily lost contact with Chaldea, Ian decided to stabilize himself first.
At least there should be a place to stay before finding out the reason why we can't get in touch, right?
"..."
But what Ian didn't know was that after hearing what he said, Nightingale's eyes were touched.
That's what happens when you find someone "like" in some sense.
"Ok!"
With the beautiful hospital below her, the little girl's attitude towards Ian has obviously become much more trusting.
But even so, there was still unspeakable worry in her tone.
"actually--"
"Something seems to be wrong in the hospital."
"Something wrong?"
"Yeah." The little girl nodded and grabbed Nightingale's hand.
"I couldn't sleep that night—I saw them."
"they?"
Ian felt that something was going wrong.
"It's okay, just tell me what happened slowly."
"With me here, there will be no problem."
"that is……"
The little girl looked towards the door.
Although the entire hospital has a brand new look, the specific structure has not changed much.
"About as tall as a doorknob, right? And they come in pairs."
"..."
"Door handle?" Ian couldn't help but imagine the scene the little girl was comparing. "Wouldn't that be about your height?"
"Yes!"
The little girl nodded.
"But they all look weird, and they seem to be speaking a completely different language from us, and I don't know what they mean."
"It was very dark then, and I didn't dare to say a word..."
"..."
Ian understood the little girl's thoughts.
after all--
Before I came here, this was just a hospital on the verge of abandonment.
A little girl of her age would be really scared if she saw something like this.
And according to her, this happens in pairs.
Then the fear obtained will naturally be more terrifying than under normal circumstances.
"Then why don't you tell me?"
Nightingale asked somewhat puzzled.
"Could it be——"
"Do you think this is something I shouldn't know?"
"No, Sister Nightingale, I didn't mean that!" The little girl lowered her head, looking very aggrieved.
"Because I was the only one who saw it—no one else saw it."
"Besides, Sister Nightingale is so busy. If I tell you, won't it cause you trouble?"
