《Would You Rather?》Draken's Shadows~
Advertisement
The following day I somehow managed to find Draken, even if it took me a lot of running around and asking Emma where the beanpole was hiding, I came in time to witness Takemichi bowing his head while requesting.
"Let me be your bodyguard." That sounded and looked more dramatic in real life than what I saw inside the manga. Draken straight out refused, I wasn't sure whether his words were the same as in the script. However, he roasted Takemichi for not even being strong enough to complete the task, mentioning how annoying it all sounded and how well he could take care of himself. He left right after so I approached the disheartened Takemichi.
"What was that about?" I asked him glancing at Draken's figure that was slowly becoming smaller.
"Who are you?" He seemed confused, oh right before leaving the house the system gave me a mission to put on a wig or dress like a detective. So now I was parading here with a pink wig which I bought for the Ichigo cosplay and a pair of sunglasses.
"It's me Michi... your neighbor." He couldn't believe his eyes, but I decided to jump into my initial plan since I presumably distracted Takemichi.
"Listen here. I'm in the middle of spying on Draken do you want to join?" He nodded his head almost immediately.
"Great," I said while linking our arms together, Draken was nearly leaving our point of view, so I forced him to start moving.
"But why are you following him?" Great what excuse could I possibly give him? Right didn't Draken mention something about babysitting Mikey when Takemichi was within the earshot yesterday?
"Field study... I want to know what babysitting Mikey implies." He seemed to have swallowed my lies.
"You should change your getup... your hairstyle stands out, if Draken even glances your way he will realize it is you." I then gave him fake eyeglasses that the system wanted me to carry around today calling it a necessity.
"But doesn't your hair stand out more?" he questioned, well it probably did, but I doubted Draken would recognize me with the amount of make-up I put on my face today.
"It may be eye-catching but he won't realize it's me, can't say the same about you." I wasn't sure how come he never got caught in the manga by those two, did Draken and Mikey roll 1 on perception check that given day?
"Sure sure." He ruffed up his hair and put up the eyeglasses.
"Are you planning to use the couple card as our cover?" He asked glancing at my arm.
"Yes, aren't you smarter than usual today?" I teased him. We witnessed Draken picking up Mikey on his way, the first thing on their schedule was visiting a restaurant. We walked in and picked the best table to spy on their movements. We ordered drinks and one cold dessert. Unlike us, Mikey and Draken ordered full-out meals, Mikey of course wanted his kid's meal. Just like in the story he threw a tantrum once he found no flag on top of his food, we saw Draken whipping one out from his coat.

"Do you think he carries around a stash of those?" I asked Takemichi as his face became more bleak hearing this.
"That sounds somehow terrifying." That's when one piece of artwork from the internet popped into my mind.
"Like imagine, under that large coat of his, there is a flag of each country neatly stacked away in rows." Takemichi started to laugh at the sole thought. But this attracted the beanpole's attention, I quickly put my hand on Takemichi's cheek and stroked it, since all he could see was his back, he just barfed at the lovely dovely couple and went back to eating his meal. I soon withdrew my hand.
"Was that really necessary?" He leaned in closer and whispered.
"This way he would be less suspicious, even if he realized it's the same clothes you had before. He may believe it's just a coincidence." Takemichi nodded realizing I did had a point. As I scooped some ice cream and fed it to him with my spoon. Since it would take some time before they would finish Takemichi decided to take this time to start a conversation.
"I been wondering, aren't you at least a tiny bit scared of those guys?" I gave it some thought, well dark impulse Mikey was no joke, but this right here was nothing but kiddo.
"Why would I? Even if Draken says he wants to beat me up he never tried to... They just look like a baby and its babysitter... Just never tell them I said that." I smiled and fed him more ice cream. I wasn't sure why he seemed cool with it, maybe he thought I did it for the disguise. We soon finished our dessert and drinks and saw how the guys were finished as well.
"I can't believe you have done that." We soon heard Draken say and when we looked in their direction we found Mikey sleeping.
"I'm astonished at how he can fall asleep anywhere... it must be like a superpower," I told Takemichi, well the most bizarre place was the karaoke, but I witnessed it in the manga him falling asleep on a bike in the middle of a ride.
"True that." Takemichi agreed with me. We saw Draken picking him up and carrying him on his back.
"He should get the best mom prize." Takemichi laughed because I said it with the most serious expression. I went and paid for our purchase and we spied on him till he reached the hospital.
"What are they planning to do in here?" Takemichi asked as I just shrugged my shoulders.
"Let's go in and find out." I was so surprised how nobody stopped us from wandering around, was this why some murders in Asian dramas were taking place in the hospitals? Was their security really that lax? As Draken was explaining to Mikey who the girl was suddenly her parents arrived. After the two were chased away by the girl's parents I decided to take look myself, yes she looked to be in a really bad condition. Takemichi was ready to leave.

"Aren't you coming?" he asked me, but I just started to look around the hallway.
"No, I have something to accomplish here." I gave him a soft smile.
"By any chance, you plan to talk with the girl's parents?" Maybe he asked because he assumed I knew her, but I shook my head in denial.
"I will be scouting where the security cameras are located. I don't plan to keep you here tho. I already finished my investigation." He nodded but was probably questioning what I was up to. I made sure to secure a route where I could avoid being seen as much as possible. I also found out where the staff room was located. If I stole one of the uniforms at night no one would dare to stop me. Once I was satisfied I left, there was also a nurse that found me suspicious so I couldn't just roam there much longer.
Once night fell I sneaked out of the house and returned back to the hospital, no one stopped me from going inside probably because I walked in like I owned the place, sometimes confidence was all you needed. Then I broke into an empty staff room that luckily wasn't locked and empty, I proceeded to steal one of the doctor's coats. Later put on some gloves and put my hair up so it wouldn't be loose and a face mask for the credibility. I went to the room finding no one inside besides the patient.
"Is the system making me lucky today?" I questioned myself and walked inside.
"Will this really work?" I whipped out a health potion from my inventory, there were two kinds. One looked like a pill within a wrapper that had a heart drawn on it, and the second looked like something taken out from the game, in a small tiny vial, made out of a mysterious red liquid.
"I need to feed it to her don't I?" I guess the pill was out of the question, it was probably better to go with this red liquid at least it had the same consistency as normal water. I poured it into my mouth and took off her breathing mask. I felt sorry for having to act in such a way, but hey at least she would get better. I believed I was doing it for her own good. Once she swallowed this perplexing liquid did I put the breathing mask back on. Soon realization hit me that I never tried the health potion on anyone before. This fact made me anxious, but slowly I could see how her wounds were healing before my eyes.
"It's working," I said, amazed at how quick she was recovering.
"Everything is going to be okay." I wasn't sure if I said this to myself or the poor girl on the hospital bed. Wait a minute, was she slowly waking up? I took a closer look and our eyes met seconds later.
"A-angel?" I was too stunned to speak, why was that her first conclusion? Was she by chance a Christian? Suddenly I could hear her speak.
"Thank you for releasing my pain." The poor soul was crying, I brushed her hair softly and held her hand. Suddenly a mission popped up.
'Would you rather stay with the Momo until sunrise or say than rather than an angel you are a God.' What was even the second option supposed to be? I decided to stay by her side indeed. We didn't speak much during my stay, but I could see by every passing hour her body was recovering faster. I guess that required a lot of her energy because she asked for food, I couldn't believe I found myself sneaking out of the hospital to buy her food. I made sure to grab something healthy. Was this even allowed? Well, I didn't care it seemed like she needed the nutrients to recover fully, which the potion was helping her with. Thankfully no one made any check-ups and she was pretending to be sleeping every time someone passed by because I let her know I didn't want to be caught by the hospital staff.
"Will I ever see you again?" she asked as I was about to leave.
"Well since I'm human, unlike your previous guess, sure. But let's keep this between each other, don't mention to anyone you saw me here." she nodded.
"I will just tell them an angel came and healed me." I guess she could let the angels take the credit.
