Chapter 178: Making a Choice

Nanami Hashimoto was quickly sent to the hospital, and after a nervous rescue by the doctor, Nanami Hashimoto's condition stabilized and he was admitted to the ward.

"Doctor, what caused her to faint? I was in good spirits all day before, and I didn't look like someone who would faint? The agent looked at Nanami Hashimoto, who was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed and his face pale, and asked the doctor on the side with some puzzlement.

"The patient was overworked, which is why he fainted." The doctor looked at the medical records in his hand, frowned and asked the agent, "Is the patient an actor?" How can you be so tired, it's like you haven't rested for days! ”

"It shouldn't be, Hashimoto-san had a good night's rest last night, and after the masseur gave her a massage, she went to sleep. When she woke up in the morning, she said she slept well last night, huh? The agent recalled the state of Nanami Hashimoto today, and his face was full of puzzlement: "And Hashimoto-san is very energetic today?" It doesn't look like it's very tired at all. ”

"Is that so? That's weird. The doctor was also a little puzzled, so he walked to the bed where Nanami Hashimoto was and carefully examined Nanami Hashimoto's condition. The agent also watched worriedly at the doctor's examination of Nanami Hashimoto.

"Doctor, this patient's condition is a bit strange." At this time, a nurse walked in with a test report and handed it to the doctor who was examining Nana Hashimoto.

The doctor took the report and flipped through it as he asked the nurse, "Strange?" This is a blood test report, is there anything wrong? ”

"We tested ephedrine and epinephrine residues in the patient's blood, and the patient was suspected of taking related drugs, but the patient had no related conditions that required the use of ephedrine, and it was suspected that it was used as a stimulant......" The nurse looked at Nanami Hashimoto who was lying on the hospital bed, not knowing what to say.

"Doping? Really, are all the current actors so desperate? It seemed that he was afraid that Nana Hashimoto would not rest, although the doctor was dissatisfied, but he still lowered his voice: "If you don't take care of your body so much, even if you work hard and become famous, what is the use of lying in the hospital bed when you are old in the future?" ”

The doctor shook his head and looked at the examination report in his hand, and then looked at the nurse who was about to speak and asked, "What did you want to say just now?" ”

"That's right, doctor." The nurse hesitated for a while, and finally told the doctor about the abnormality: "Although ephedrine and adrenaline residues were detected in this patient's body, the patient's body did not have any corresponding reaction, and even the heartbeat did not accelerate, as if these adrenalines were naturally produced by the body, and it is impossible for a normal person's body to produce such a large dose of adrenaline." Moreover, according to the patient's examination report, the patient's body was only overworked, and there were no symptoms after taking the medicine. ”

"What? No symptoms? The doctor was suddenly surprised, picked up the medical records and all the examination reports on the side, and quickly flipped through them: "Really not, what's going on?" The doctor looked at the report with a look of surprise.

The agent on the side looked at the doctor's surprised look and asked curiously, "Doctor, how is Hashimoto-san's body?" What's going on now? ”

"We have detected ephedrine, an adrenaline-mimetic drug that is commonly used in clinical practice to treat habitual bronchial asthma and prevent asthma attacks, in patients." While studying the examination report of Nanami Hashimoto, the doctor explained to the agent: "Although this drug is not as good as adrenaline, if used in large quantities for a long time, it can cause adverse reactions such as tremors, anxiety, insomnia, headaches, palpitations, fever, sweating, etc., but we have not found these reactions in patients." This is not possible in terms of the residual dose that we found from the patient's blood, so I was surprised by the patient's condition. ”

"So how is Hashimoto-san's body doing now? Are there any problems or after-effects? "The agent doesn't know much about the ephedrine that the doctor said, but he is just concerned about Nana Hashimoto's current physical condition.

"Judging by the patient's clinical signs, there is no problem at the moment, she is just overworked. The patient is now asleep, and it just needs to be given her a good rest. Although the doctor was curious about Nanami Hashimoto's physical condition, he explained Nanami Hashimoto's condition to his agent.

Hearing the doctor say this, the agent let go of the heart that had been worried and breathed a sigh of relief. The doctor looked at the report in his hand, and after really not being able to study anything, he told the agent and left the room with the nurse.

At this time, Haruka Ayase and Kei Yamamoto, who had already finished filming, rushed to the hospital after changing their costumes, and Sono Suenaga, as the director, had to deal with things on the set, so they sent a staff member as a representative to visit Nanami Hashimoto's situation.

Haruka Ayase and Kei Yamamoto pushed open the door of the ward, and saw that Nana Hashimoto was already asleep, so they walked in lightly, and the staff at the end closed the door carefully, trying to avoid making a sound.

"Agent-san, how is Nana Min?" Looking at Nanami Hashimoto, who was sleeping soundly on the hospital bed, Haruka Ayase glanced at her pale face distressedly, and asked the agent on the side in a low voice.

Seeing Haruka Ayase and Kei Yamamoto coming in, the agent, who had already planned to sit down and rest, hurriedly stood up, greeted the two, and explained to the two of them Nanami's current condition: "The doctor has just come and said that Hashimoto-san is just overworked, and it would be good to rest for a while." Just ......"

"Just what?" Kei Yamamoto looked at Nanami Hashimoto lying on the hospital bed with some distress, as if he was looking at his granddaughter. After all, at Kei Yamamoto's age, he can indeed be Nanami Hashimoto's grandfather.

After hesitating for a while, the agent still chose to tell the truth: "The doctor just said that ephedrine, which is an adrenaline-like drug, was found in Hashimoto-san's body. But I knew that Hashimoto-san had never taken this medicine at all, so I felt strange. ”

"Ephedrine? Epinephrine drugs? I knew Nana Min was lying! Haruka Ayase heard the agent say that ephedrine had been found on Nanami Hashimoto, and immediately understood what was going on, and looked at Nana Hashimoto lying on the hospital bed.

"Hashimoto-san is lying? Ayase-san: Do you know anything? When Kei Yamamoto heard Haruka Ayase say this, he immediately frowned and looked at her: "Ephedrine is supposed to be used to treat asthma, right?" Could it be that Hashimoto-san used it as a stimulant? This kid is too ignorant. ”

"It's not, but it's pretty much the same." Haruka Ayase shook her head helplessly: "Nana Min took a secret medicine that she said in the morning that she could replenish her strength and eliminate fatigue. At that time, I saw that it was just some rice balls, so I didn't suspect it, and she herself said that the side effects were not serious, so I was fooled by this girl. I knew it would be like this, I should have stopped her in the morning. ”

"Secret medicine? Rice balls? Kei Yamamoto frowned as if remembering something, and asked Haruka Ayase, "Ayase-san, do you remember what the rice balls Hashimoto-san ate looked like?" Where does she put the rest of the rice balls? I'd like to take a look. ”

Haruka Ayase looked at Kei Yamamoto strangely, a little confused: "Yamamoto-san, who are you?" ”

Kei Yamamoto shook his head and didn't explain, just gestured to Haruka Ayase with his eyes.

Haruka Ayase looked at Kei Yamamoto's appearance and didn't quite understand what this old-timer was going to do, but she still walked up to Nanami Hashimoto and took out a small cloth bag containing Yamato's rice balls from her arms.

Kei Yamamoto opened the small cloth bag containing the rice balls of the mountain boy, carefully checked the rice balls inside, and gently smelled the smell of the rice balls before tying the small cloth bag and replacing it with Haruka Ayase, with a complicated look on his face.

Haruka Ayase put the small cloth bag back on Nanami Hashimoto, looked at Kei Yamamoto with a complicated expression, and asked curiously, "Yamamoto-san, do you know what these rice balls are?" Look like you've seen these rice balls. ”

Kei Yamamoto nodded with a complicated expression, and after hesitating for a moment, he said to Haruka Ayase: "I've seen something similar, it's very similar to this one." That was a long time ago, though, and I don't know if I'm mistaken. If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be called 'Soldier Pill', which is a secret medicine used by ninjas to replenish their physical strength, and after eating it, it can indeed make people energetic, but when the effect of the medicine passes, the limbs will be sore, just like Hashimoto-san is now. Seriously, some people even died of detachment. ”

"Is this stuff so dangerous?" Hearing Kei Yamamoto's explanation, the agent on the side was already frightened. If Nanami Hashimoto really dies in an accident, as Nanami Hashimoto's agent, he will have a lot of responsibility.

"It's not dangerous, it's just not that safe to use. As long as you pay attention not to overwork within the effective time of the drug, you will not die. Kei Yamamoto had a hint of nostalgia on his face, but he quickly shook his head, sighed and continued, "This thing is said to be a recipe that ninjas obtained from a youkai named Yamado during the Warring States period, and is modeled after Yamato's rice balls. Hashimoto-san's hands seem to be more elaborate than the ones I've ever seen. ”

Haruka Ayase, her agent, and the crew who had been standing aside without speaking heard Kei Yamamoto's explanation, and then they suddenly realized. Haruka Ayase looked at Kei Yamamoto with some curiosity, and couldn't help asking, "Yamamoto-senpai, how did you know about this kind of thing?" ”

"When I was younger, I was lucky enough to see it." Kei Yamamoto seemed reluctant to talk about this topic, shook his head and diverted the topic: "Now that we know what's going on, Hashimoto-san needs to rest now, so I'll go first." ”

Seeing that Kei Yamamoto was leaving, Haruka Ayase and his agent both saluted him and watched the old-timer leave. The staff on the side also conveyed the crew's condolences to the agent, and left with Kei Yamamoto.

After seeing Kei Yamamoto leave, Haruka Ayase looked at Nanami Hashimoto on the hospital bed silently, looked at her slightly frowning brows and pale face, and sighed helplessly: "What a stupid girl, what are you doing so hard?" After speaking, Haruka Ayase's eyes turned to the agent on the side again, and asked him, "Agent-san, have you contacted Nanamin's family?" ”

"I'm sorry, Ayase-san. Hashimoto-san was born in Hokkaido, and because it was so far away, I hadn't informed her family yet. The agent explained to Haruka Ayase with an apologetic expression.

"Is that so? Then work hard for you first, please take good care of this girl. When Haruka Ayase heard her agent say this, she could only tell him to take good care of Nanami Hashimoto before saying goodbye and leaving.

Seeing Haruka Ayase leave, the agent hurriedly followed her and sent her out of the ward.

——————————————————

Late at night, Nanami Hashimoto, who had been asleep for a long time, woke up faintly, and after opening his eyes and looking around, Nanami Hashimoto realized that he was in the hospital. Seeing the agent who had fallen asleep sitting on the chair with his arms crossed, Nana Hashimoto did not slow down her movements, did not make a sound, and sat up slowly.

Although she had slept for a long time, Nanami Hashimoto still felt weak in her limbs and her whole body was sore, as uncomfortable as after a day's work. With some difficulty, he reached out and picked up the boiled water that seemed to have been poured by the agent at the head of the bed in advance, and after taking a sip, he continued to lie down.

Feeling the soreness all over her body, Nana Hashimoto smiled bitterly without self-deprecation, her body was really fragile, but this level of exertion made her faint. Remembering that Yaga-u said that the monsters ate the rice balls of the mountain boy and just felt tired and slept well, Nana Hashimoto couldn't help but envy the physical fitness of the monsters. If you also have the same physical fitness as a monster, like this level of exertion, I'm afraid you can recover with a nap, right?

Nana Hashimoto didn't think about these things, and her hand unconsciously touched the pendant she was wearing on her chest. In fact, as long as you unlock the seal on this pendant, you can complete the demonization and become a monster, or a powerful monster. But Nanami Hashimoto still couldn't make up her mind, if it weren't for that, she wouldn't have sealed the pendant with the sealing technique she had just learned from Chiya to avoid being demonized.

Just like Mai Shiraishi still wants to turn back into a human after becoming a nine-tailed fox, after all, he has been a human for twenty years, and suddenly becoming a monster will give people the feeling of becoming a monster. But feeling the weakness of his human body, Nanami Hashimoto dislikes his weakness as a human being. If you become a youkai, you won't have these troubles, right? Besides, if you become a big monster, you won't only live for a few decades and then you will grow old, and the lifespan of a big monster is calculated in thousands of years, and even a thousand nights have never seen a big monster die of old age.

Thinking of this, Nana Hashimoto did not hesitate for a long time, finally let go of the worries and entanglements in his heart, and after a long sigh, he made up his mind, raised his hand and gently clicked on the pendant, and untied the seal he had set.

A cool breath seeped into Nanami Hashimoto's body from the pendant. As this cool breath swam around Nanami Hashimoto, she suddenly felt that the fatigue in her body began to subside under the effect of this cool breath, and her body became relaxed.

As the body gradually relaxed, a wave of sleepiness hit, making Nanami Hashimoto fall asleep again. And this cool breath is also constantly demonizing her body......
