Chapter 17. A suspicious person.

Chapter 17. A suspicious person.

My rehabilitation was going well, friends visited me every time after school and quietly I began to remember them all. And Nila, who didn't even go to school for a few days because of me, because she wanted to be with me, and Mika, coming to me after school, looked at her with some kind of not very friendly look. Probably just angry because she was skipping.

And so, one day students from universities appeared in the hospital, who were interning at the hospital, several also came to my ward.

But I remember one person for sure.

Green eyes and shoulder-length hair and blue-green color, browned face. She is short, in a white coat, which was given to all students, and under it a black hoodie. And her stethoscope was worn backwards…

She came in and introduced herself. Her name is Mimica. I told her that she was wearing a stethoscope incorrectly and, as if not hearing me, she came a few steps forward and fell face-first on my bed. Nila, who was sitting next to me at that moment, came up to her and slapped her on the cheek, she ran out of the ward in a frustrated state.

— Why did you hurt her? I asked Nila, looking at her with a distressed look.

— Did you not see it yourself, even practitioners should not interfere with the patient's rest, and she fell right on your bed, this is complete disrespect…

Of course, she wasn't quite right, because she doesn't know what kind of person she is, maybe she was overexcited or even worse… And Nila is still with aggression on her…

I should have apologized for Nila's behavior, I thought.

But a few seconds later, after I looked under the bed to get my socks and saw the letters there, I had already changed my mind.

The contents of the letters were as follows :

The first one said the words – "We are not done with you yet, Akishito Akato, wait, we will come for you again."

Such words alerted me, because I still did not understand who was the sender of this letter.

The following letter contained the words: "Save me. Mimic Ai."

After that, I was about to go, but suddenly Nila grabbed my hand and said, wait for me, let's go for a walk together.

She said it with a strained smile, as if she didn't want me to follow the Mimicry.

Still, I decided to wait for her and we went outside together. On that day, the entire courtyard of the hospital was filled with students who were practicing, it inspired some melancholy, because I myself can't go anywhere now, neither to school, nor even just to another part of the city.

We sat down on a bench and Nila started rummaging in her bag, after which she took out some cards.

And then I remembered Uyato-san's words about the cards, most likely he meant them.

- Listen, let's just not bow out of the conversation, because these cards can save your life for you, - Nila said with a serious look.

I nodded my head and she gave me four cards in my hands.

The first was "Speed. Protection. Star." . After I took it in my hands, I flashed memories of when I received it and under what circumstances it happened.

The second card is "Star Stop", the third is "Deviation", the fourth is "Submission".

After I took them in my hands, I flashed memories of the fire that happened at the center where cardholders were trained, and everything happened through my fault. And suddenly there were tears in my eyes.

Nila looked at me with a look of complete bewilderment, because she doesn't know what caused that fire.

— Why are you crying? she asked me.

Then I told her about the fire and where these cards came from. Yes her reaction was the most unpredictable… She laughed at the stupidity of the situation, because no one died in that fire.

- Okay, okay, we've had a laugh and that's enough, let's move on to more important things. Your life is in danger, most likely that Mimic Ai who came to you today is a subordinate of our enemy, who is secretly spying on us. And her appeal for help is most likely a trap to lure you to them.

I wanted to believe Nila completely, but for some reason it seemed to me that the letter asking for help was sincere, because there were even prints from tears on it, and it was written in a hurry, so I still decided to ask Mimika what her letter for help meant.

The next day, after talking with Nila, at the moment when she had already left for school, and the guys from the institute began to come to the hospital one by one, Mimica looked into my room. In the literal sense of the word, she looked in, because she was trying to look around to see if Nila was here.

-- Nila is not here, don't be afraid, come in. – I told her for her greater confidence.

She nodded her head and came over to me.

I decided to ask her about the letters she brought yesterday, but before she could say any words, she whispered in my ear: "Please save me, Akato-San"

Still, after that, she hurriedly began to leave the ward, but I managed to grab her by the robe and asked her: "what can I save you from?"

To which she threw another letter and ran out of the ward.

The letter was crumpled and hard to read, but still I understood what was written there.

It said that a certain Ari was holding her allegedly under hypnosis, with which she had almost learned to fight, but still she had to follow orders without complaints, because he would be able to suspect that she had learned to fight hypnosis. It was also said at the end: if you run him, you can help everyone else, those whom he keeps in hypnosis.

Of course, I couldn't make such decisions myself, because suddenly he would be many times stronger than me and decided to turn to the sisters Otsuko and Uyato-san for help, because I could only entrust my safety to them, since no one else owns the cards that can help me defeat Ari-senpai.
