Chapter 11 Protagonist Runs, Villain Is Discovered By Heroine!
?[I need to escape from here immediately.]
Without waiting for people to blame him, Issei immediately ran from the scene with the speed of a Dragon King.
People reacted too late to see Issei disappear so quickly.
"Damn, that guy ran away!"
"Chase, let's go after him!"
"Miss Sitri, we'll help catch that bad guy!"
Sona ignored the people who ran after Issei, right now she was just crying seeing her grandfather's condition getting worse.
"Grandpa, grandpa, please don't die! Woo... Grandpa..."
Sona's grandfather's face looked very pale and his breathing was weak, Sona knew from his appearance that he was dying.
If her grandfather wasn't treated soon, he would definitely die.
Just where was the ambulance that she had called?
Why were those people so late!
At this moment an old man wearing glasses in a white coat walked through the crowd.
"Excuse me Miss Sitri, introduce my name is Amano Hinohara, I am a doctor specializing in cardiology. I was called here to help Sitri's old man immediately. May I do so?" The old man with glasses asked Sona politely.
The people in the crowd who had just heard the name of the old man with glasses looked shocked.
Some reacted.
"This name sounds familiar, hmm where have I heard it before?"
"Amano Hinohara? Isn't this the famous Doctor Amano!"
"Oh I know him! This is our country's genius doctor! I've heard that Doctor Amano is very good at treating heart and blood vessel diseases. The people he has cured from these diseases have reached hundreds of people."
"What! So such a great doctor came all the way here to save old man Sitri? That's cool! But who called him?"
Hearing the people talking about the identity of the person in front of her, Sona also actually knew who Doctor Amano was.
He was the most famous doctor in Japan!
As a person who aspires to be a doctor, Sona naturally knows famous doctors in her own country.
But this was the first time she had seen him in person, previously she had only known of Doctor Amano's appearance from photos scattered across the internet.
Seeing such a genius doctor come all the way here for her grandfather, Sona was touched and wondered who was calling him?
But that could be asked later, for now she had to immediately ask Doctor Amano to save her grandfather!
"Doctor Amano, please save my grandfather!" Sona pleaded and bowed her head.
Doctor Amano hurriedly said, "Calm down Miss Sitri, that's why I'm here. I'll do my best."
Sona smiled and nodded, she and the others made room for Doctor Amano and her grandfather.
Doctor Amano did the examination first using an assistive device and also checked Sona's grandfather's pulse manually.
As if realizing something, Doctor Amano frowned.
"Did someone just perform acupuncture on old man Sitri?" Doctor Amano asked Sona.
Sona naturally remembered Issei and held back her anger before answering, "Yes, there was a bad guy who pretended that he had medical skills to save my grandfather. He used acupuncture techniques. At first my grandfather seemed to recover after that, but it was only a short while before he collapsed and vomited blood."
Doctor Amano nodded at the explanation that happened before he came.
"No wonder there was something wrong with some of the acupoints on old man Sitri. Some were pressed too hard and some strayed to other points not related to the heart."
Hearing this, Sona and the people in the crowd recalled Issei's quick and rough movements when using the silver needles.
People sighed, that youngster was really evil.
Sona hated Issei even more after hearing what was wrong with her grandfather, she wanted revenge on protagonist.
But that's for later, now she asked Doctor Amano anxiously.
"Doctor Amano, so what? Can you still save my grandfather?"
Doctor Amano nodded calmly. "I can and actually my medical skills also lean more towards acupuncture techniques rather than using modern medical technology. I just need to perform acupuncture again on old man Sitri to correct the mistake made by the person before."
"Then please do it Doctor Amano!"
Sona said her agreement quickly, not doubting Doctor Amano in the slightest.
After all, the other party's identity was there, unlike Issei who came from nowhere and claimed to have the best medical skills in the world without any proof.
Doctor Amano immediately performed acupuncture after hearing Sona's approval. He took out a small box of silver needles from his briefcase and opened Sitri's old man's shirt so that he could see the acupoints better.
The people who saw this subconsciously began to compare Doctor Amano and Issei's acupuncture process. Unlike Issei who did acupuncture quickly and roughly, Doctor Amano did it very carefully and gently.
This difference clearly let people know who was better.
Sona thought that protagonist's medical skill was what? Protagonist's medical skill was farting.
After 10 minutes of acupuncture, the blood returned to old man Sitri's face and his breathing also became better. Doctor Amano wiped the sweat from his forehead after finishing the acupuncture.
The old man Sitri also began to open his eyes and looked at everyone weakly.
"Grandpa! Are you okay now?"
"I'm already better... I didn't expect the young man before to be so evil. By the way Sona, who is this?" Asked old man Sitri while looking at the old man with glasses standing beside him. It seemed like it was this person who saved him this time.
"Ah! This is Doctor Amano who is famous as a genius doctor in our country. He came all the way here to save you grandpa!" Sona excitedly introduced Doctor Amano.
Doctor Amano smiled wryly. "Hello, I'm Amano Hinohara. I was called here to help you, old man Sitri."
"Thank you Doctor, you saved my life. Sitri's family owes you a favor."
"No, no, I was just doing my duty as a doctor. If the old man wants to pay me, you only need to pay me according to my medical treatment standards. And by the way you still need to do a checkup at the hospital just in case."
"Okay, I'll do as you say Doctor Amano."
Old man Sitri smiled, he felt that this Doctor Amano was very kind. I'll have to repay him well later.
"By the way Doctor Amano, you said someone called you to come help me here. Who was the person who called you?"
The Sitri old man was curious about the person who could make such a Genius Doctor come personally to help him.
Sona was also curious, but she could already guess someone in her mind.
"Ah... About the identity of the person who called me. He doesn't seem to want me to reveal his identity. So I'm sorry that I can't answer your question, old man Sitri."
Old man Sitri and Sona were silent, even the people in the crowd were silent at this point.
Old man Sitri smiled.
"I see, then may I have your number, Doctor Amano? If my health or those of my family deteriorate, I can contact you easily."
"Oh, of course old man Sitri. I don't mind."
Doctor Amano gave Sitri's old man his number, and Sitri's old man happily accepted it. After that Doctor Amano immediately said goodbye and left.
But at that moment the long-awaited ambulance had just arrived and Sona's lips twitched.
She felt like scolding these late-comers, but she held back because her grandfather also needed to be taken to the hospital for examination.
"Grandpa, let's go to the hospital for a checkup." Sona said in a tone that was hard to argue with.
Sitri's old man smiled wryly at his granddaughter. "Okay, grandpa will comply with his granddaughter's request."
Sona immediately helped her grandfather to get into the ambulance, but at that moment she suddenly saw someone in the corner of her eye.
The man had blonde hair, sky blue eyes, and had a very handsome face. He was wearing a black sports jacket and was standing quite far away from her, but somehow she glanced at him unconsciously.
Sona felt that the man looked familiar like to someone she knew in high school.
Wait, isn't that Riser?!
Has that villain been hiding there all this time?
"Grandpa, wait a moment. I'll be right back."
"Oh, sure. Did you forget your stuff somewhere? Pick it up quickly."
Sona nodded at her grandfather and pretended to go get her things.
But the direction she ran was...
...
Riser who had finished watching today's drama smiled contentedly as he walked to his car park.
He had managed to again mess up the plot and make Issei hated by the other heroine.
Before Issei came, he had actually made some preparations to trap Issei.
He had told the owner of JTC to assign people to provoke Issei by throwing out facts that were not usually mentioned in brainless urban novels.
It was of course done so that Issei would be even more motivated to slap those who underestimated him and it worked because Issei became even more showy than in the original work when he performed acupuncture on Sona's grandfather.
People were already looking at him suspiciously back then and no one realized that the silver needles Issei was using were coated in poison. Issei himself didn't realize that the silver needles he got from the JTC staff were poisonous.
Of course it was after all a needle that Riser had personally prepared himself.
The poison was odorless and difficult to detect even by a cultivator in the rank one to nine martial artist realm. This was a poison that she had personally obtained from the inventory of the Phenex family treasure.
People who had been poisoned by this poison would experience faulty heart function and blood circulation would also be blocked. This was why Sona's grandfather fainted and vomited blood after receiving acupuncture from Issei for a while.
The way to save him was with a special antidote, and that of course had been given to Sona's grandfather through the silver needle that Doctor Amano used.
Doctor Amano was also actually the person he had instructed to help Sona's grandfather.
And as for the ambulance arriving so late? Actually, he intentionally called people to cause congestion on the road.
Doing all that was easy using the Phenex family connection. This is one of the conveniences that his status brings in this world.
All his plans went smoothly and Riser was naturally happy.
Even the system could not help but praise him.
[Host, is it just me or are you starting to walk the path of the big villain behind the scenes?]
Riser hummed.
"I'm a handsome and charming villain."
[...]
[Host, someone is running towards you.]
"I know."
Riser also realized this which was why he stifled his evil laughter after successfully executing his plan to trap Issei.
With his perception as a rank five martial artist, he could naturally sense the movements of people 10 meters away from him.
And the person who was running towards him was no exception.
Soon a feminine and elegant voice called his name from behind.
"Riser, wait a minute!"
Riser naturally looked back and saw who was calling him.
It turned out to be the heroine!
[Why is Sona here? Aren't you going with your grandfather to the hospital for a checkup? Hey aren't you worried about your grandfather suddenly fainting again? This granddaughter doesn't pay enough attention to her grandfather.]
Who doesn't pay enough attention to her grandfather?!
Didn't you see how worried I was when my grandfather almost died?
Sona wanted to deny what Riser thought of her, but she didn't want to expose that she could hear his inner voice.
So she didn't reply to his complaints about her.
"Um sorry, but who are you pretty lady? Do you know me?" Riser deliberately pretended not to know each other. Although from the memory of his predecessor he knew that Sona was one of his classmates when he was in high school.
Of course that was back then, because after graduating high school the two of them never met again for several years and only met again now.
Sona rolled her eyes, do you think I don't know you're pretending?
"I'm Sona Sitri, your high school classmate. Don't you remember me?"
Riser made a surprised expression. "Sona Sitri? Oh! It's you."
"Yes it's me."
Sona sighed, why do I have to accompany this guy to act.
"So what is it that you called me, Sona? Did you run up to me just to say hello to an old friend?" Asked Riser while looking at the sweat on Sona's beautiful white neck.
Sona blushed feeling Riser's gaze looking at her sweat. It was a bit embarrassing to meet Riser looking like this.
If she knew it was going to be like this, it would have been better for her not to run to the parking lot area or maybe meet Riser later in the day so she could make preparations.
"Ahem! Not really, I came here to thank you." Sona said with a rare smile on her face.
"Thank you? For what?" Riser was confused.
[Does she already know that I called Doctor Amano to save her grandfather? It's too soon!]
Sona's smile grew wider, it was indeed Riser who called Doctor Amano to save her grandfather.
"You're pretending not to know? I just found out that young master Phenex likes to pretend to hide his kindness."
Riser's lips twitched, I feel embarrassed to be exposed like this.
Damn.
"Excuse me? I have something to do. So I should get going, see you soon Sona."
Without waiting for Sona to answer, he quickly got into his car and drove away from the parking lot.
Sona who saw his departure just smiled.
"Aw~ is this villain embarrassed that I exposed him? Hehe cute."
"I don't know why Rias always disliked guys like Riser back in high school. Does she still dislike him? If she still doesn't like him, then I might..."
Sona blushed and immediately ran again towards her grandfather, she almost forgot about taking her grandfather to the hospital.
...
Is Riser really embarrassed? Wait for the next chapter! Don't forget to throw your power stone at this dog.
