Walking in the hospital lobby, Kirito accidentally bumped into someone at a corner, and he vaguely felt his body tilting.
This feeling was familiar to him; it was the mark of an impending fall.
But in the blink of an eye, the feeling of imbalance suddenly disappeared.
Instead, a tall and strong man appeared before them.
"Is everything okay?"
"Feel sorry."
Upon hearing the other person speak to him, Kirito subconsciously apologized.
He was so focused on the email Asuna sent that he lost focus and didn't notice what was happening around the corner.
(Are there such robust doctors?)
(It looks like someone who does boxing.)
(That's quite an exaggeration.)
I looked up at the man in front of me. He was wearing a doctor's uniform and had a name tag on his chest.
Kirito then looked at the words written on it.
Jotaro Kujo.
A surname I've never heard of before.
Rather, did the hospital have this doctor before?
The other person didn't continue speaking, but instead walked towards another intersection with their hands in their pockets.
He's clearly a doctor, but he looks incredibly intimidating. I doubt any patient would dare to defy him.
Scratching his head, Kirito didn't pay much attention to such trivial matters and then headed to where Asuna was.
"Asuna."
Kirito-kun
"You said Yuki's condition has improved?"
Asuna came all this way because she received some very celebratory news.
"Dr. Kurahashi used to be Yuki's attending physician, but it seems that a new doctor has taken over now."
"After that doctor came, Yuki's condition seemed to gradually improve."
"Isn't that a good thing!"
Kirito was happy for Asuna after hearing what she had said.
Although I don't know exactly how the other party managed to get Yuki out of danger, as long as she's safe, that's all that matters.
"Look, that looks like the new doctor, he's really tall."
"I heard he's a genius doctor who started researching the HIV virus a long time ago, and he's only 28 years old."
"I've never seen such a robust doctor before."
"Klein and the others seem a bit too slender compared to this guy."
Through the glass of the corridor, Asuna made a slightly surprised comment.
Upon hearing this, Kirito turned his gaze in that direction.
"what?"
Upon seeing the figure he had just seen, Kirito paused slightly and let out a small gasp.
"what happened?"
"Uh, nothing."
His appearance caught Asuna's attention, but Kirito simply waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing.
I never expected that the doctor I bumped into at the corner was actually Yuki Shin's attending physician.
Inside, Jotaro stood by the bed, glancing at the piled-up machinery as he spoke with Yuki.
"Mr. Jotaro, how much longer do I have to keep up this act?"
"This is just so that you can return to society safely."
"And who was it that was so willful in the first place, saying they didn't want me to change people's perceptions?"
You could already hear the impatience in Yuuki's voice, but Jotaro just let it go.
"Without changing people's perceptions, it's impossible for a patient who should have died at any time to suddenly recover without attracting social attention and being dragged into research."
Although Yuki has already recovered, preparations must be made so that she can return to her original environment without any risks.
Even though "Platinum Star World Beyond Heaven" could easily overwrite Yuuki's experiences, Yuuki doesn't seem willing to do so.
In her own words, although experiencing illness was painful, she also made important friends because of it, so she didn't want her friends to lose those memories of struggling together.
With that in mind, Jotaro had no choice but to take a longer route and spend more time acting.
To this end, they even went so far as to fabricate the identity of "Jotaro Kujo" as a doctor.
"Don't worry, based on the symptoms we predicted, it should only take a week at most."
"Yeah! That's great!"
Except for Yuki's soft, slightly joyful shout at the end, the two communicated in a voice that was inaudible to others.
"If HIV could be cured, it would be a major discovery."
“Especially since Yuki was a critically ill patient before.”
"It's amazing."
Jotaro could clearly hear the conversations of the young men and women in the corridor outside, but he only glanced at them and didn't pay any attention.
"That's your companion?"
"Yes! It's Asuna and Kirito!"
"My gaming friends, don't let their appearance fool you, they're both incredibly skilled players."
Yuki's lively voice rang out, seemingly tinged with pride.
"Game?"
"The times have developed to this point, perhaps it is also a trend."
For Jotaro in the late 90s, being addicted to video games was not a trend worth promoting.
Unless there's a commendable solution, being a master at games is just a pastime.
(However, in terms of the strength of his soul and spirit, that boy was extraordinary.)
Jotaro glanced sideways at the boy named "Kirito" and gave his assessment.
According to his prediction, if this boy encountered "Arrow" in his own world, awakening a Stand might not be a problem.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah."
"It seems that every world has its lucky ones."
With a sigh, Jotaro was about to leave when Yuki called him back.
"Wait, Mr. Jotaro!"
"what happened?"
"Um... could you do me a small favor?"
As if a little embarrassed, Yuki felt that she was asking for too much.
She knew that "taking an inch and wanting a mile" would easily make her disliked.
But if she didn't say it, she might never have the chance, so she mustered up the courage to bring it up anyway.
Even if I get rejected, I have to give it a try.
"?"
"When you go to Berserk's place, could you bring me a gift?"
"He looks frail, but he's very intelligent, so he might be of some use."
"This is also my way of thanking him, after all, he protected me."
Seeing Yuki's somewhat embarrassed expression, Jotaro would have already said "Yakamashi" in the past.
But now, he's not so rude to this courageous and bold girl.
……
"Mr. Jotaro, look! The world is far more advanced than ours."
At the agreed-upon location, Rohan waited for Jotaro.
Dressed in travel clothes and carrying a bag, Rohan Kishibe is frantically drawing something on a piece of paper with a pen.
"It seems like their gaming industry is very developed here. They're talking about VR holographic immersion, which is supposed to take you to another world."
