Chapter 19: Hmph, I'm Not Some Cute Little Nurse…
“Grow up healthy and strong, okay~”
—Dressed in the cutest pink nurse outfit, paired with the sweetest smile.
Tachibana Asuka crouched slightly, extending her right hand to gently pat the forehead of the now fully recovered baby.
This was the last patient at Hundred Leaves Clinic for the day.
As the young mother carried her child away, the nurse’s duties were over, and it was time to clock out once again.
Yet, Tachibana Asuka didn’t feel the slightest bit happy.
“Haa—”
Standing in place, she first let out a soft sigh.
Then, she lifted her slender arm to wipe away the glistening sweat from her forehead.
She even deliberately glanced around.
Only after confirming that the Villain Boss was nowhere in sight did she relax, secretly undoing a button at her collar.
With that, all the accumulated heat of the day was released at once.
A puff of warm, white mist—almost visibly fragrant—drifted up.
Only after fully relaxing did she finally reveal her true self—like a clingy, pitiful little kitten.
After just one month of part-time work…
Her heart and body had already grown reluctant to leave Hundred Leaves Clinic…
If only I could live here with my dear sister… how wonderful that would be…
“!!!”
The adorable little nurse had merely let her mind wander for a moment, yet such bold thoughts had sprung up unbidden in her mind.
Tachibana Asuka jolted awake.
Almost immediately, a flustered sound escaped from deep within her throat.
Correspondingly, the girl’s soft cheeks burned with startling intensity in an instant, forcing her to cover them with both hands.
—I’m definitely becoming stranger by the day!
Without a doubt, this must also be part of the Villain Boss’s scheme!
“That despicable… scoundrel…”
Tachibana Asuka bit her lower lip in frustration.
—It’s all Linux’s fault.
Using smooth talk that broke all the rules, he’d tricked a genuine magical girl like herself into working illegally at his unlicensed clinic.
As of today, she’d been working as a little nurse for a full month!
And during this period, he’d provided meticulous care in every possible way.
Through hands-on teaching, he’d imparted all sorts of skills—from preparing potions and administering IVs to rehabilitation massages—holding nothing back.
When was the last time she’d transformed into [Magical Girl Silver White] to carry out justice?
She couldn’t even remember…
There was no doubt about it—she was practically being remolded into a cute little nurse now.
“Ugh…”
Even though she’d realized this, [Magical Girl Silver White] was powerless to change the situation.
—There was no helping it; the Villain Boss simply gave too much.
He paid her daily wages based on working hours, amounting to nearly seven or eight thousand yen each day.
Moreover, as promised extra compensation, any unused Healing Elixirs were given to her without reservation.
Thanks to this, her beloved sister, who had been paralyzed from the waist up, not only saw her bedsores completely disappear but also grew healthier by the day.
Tachibana Asuka firmly believed—one day, her sister would fully recover.
Everything was moving in a positive direction.
And when it came down to it, all of this was made possible by the Villain Boss’s selfless help.
So, how exactly should she repay him…?
With no answer in sight, Tachibana Asuka lightly nibbled her cherry lips, sinking into deep, troubled contemplation.
And just at that moment—
“Nurse Tachibana, you seem troubled. What’s on your mind?”
The Villain Boss’s teasing voice suddenly rang out from behind her.
This gave the petite [Magical Girl Silver White] quite a fright.
“I-it’s nothing related to you!”
Almost inevitably, the girl’s heart began pounding wildly.
Tachibana Asuka, having unwittingly confessed her thoughts, hurriedly turned her face away, attempting to hide her embarrassment with this childish method.
As expected, it was yet another complete defeat.
“It’s fine if you don’t say anything. It’s Silver White-chan’s choice~”
Linux merely raised his right hand.
Tachibana Asuka, dressed in an adorable nurse outfit, instinctively lowered her head and leaned in—like a clingy kitten nestling against Linux’s doctor’s white coat.
The scent of medicine mixed with an aura of wickedness, combined with the smell of a man hard at work, overwhelmed the foolish magical girl. Just one deep breath, and her consciousness wavered.
“Speaking of which, we’ve been closing earlier and earlier lately,” Linux said, glancing at his watch with his left hand.
“It’s only 4:30 PM, and no one’s coming anymore.”
“Because there are only so many people around… You healed them all, so of course no one comes anymore…”
Fully enjoying the post-work cuddles, the thoroughly nurse-fied [Magical Girl Silver White] lifted her head from Linux’s embrace.
“An unlicensed black clinic can’t exactly advertise… If this keeps up, we might have an income crisis, you know? Stupid villain~”
The moment the words left Tachibana Asuka’s lips, she regretted them.
She immediately bit her lower lip and pulled her head back.
But it was already too late.
Her delicate shoulders were soon seized by Linux’s hands, pulling her even closer than before.
“My, my, how rare. Silver White-chan, are you worried about my black clinic?”
“Hmph, not at all—!”
At this moment, Tachibana Asuka had to muster all her strength just to maintain a cold facade.
“Stop flattering yourself, Villain Boss!”
“Mhm~”
Linux didn’t tease her further.
After all, the blush spreading from her cheeks to the tips of her ears was answer enough.
His tone quickly turned serious.
“Honestly, even if Hundred Leaves Clinic had no patients one day, that’d be fine by me.”
“Eh?”
“It just means everyone is healthy. As a doctor, I want everyone to be healthy—including you, [Magical Girl Silver White].”
“Stop with the sweet talk already… I-I’m clocking out!”
—As always, she was utterly defenseless against Linux’s sincerity.
Tachibana Asuka knew that if she stayed any longer, she’d only embarrass herself further.
So she chose to turn and flee.
But her slender wrist was caught by Linux, who had anticipated this.
“Leaving this early is a bit too soon. Silver White-chan, let me take you somewhere new—inside Hundred Leaves Clinic.”
“What? There’s somewhere here I haven’t been?”
Hands on her hips, [Magical Girl Silver White] lifted her chin proudly, a hint of smugness in her voice.
But the Villain Boss’s dead-serious expression made her narrow her eyes warily.
“There is, actually.”
“Where?”
“The dungeon—has Silver White-chan been there before?”
The moment the words left the Villain Boss’s lips—
Tachibana Asuka froze.
Every horrific dungeon-related tale passed down by senior magical girls flashed through her mind in chaotic succession.
Soon, she hugged herself in fear, trembling uncontrollably.
