"Don't be polite." Amamiya Natsuki held Mizuhara Chizuru's right hand. Leaving aside the sensation, the college student's expression showed no change at all.
As expected of a college student, she was much more impressive than those little girls who would blush and get shy just from holding hands.
"When we go in and see Grandma later, Natsuki-kun, just say you're my friend's younger brother." Mizuhara Chizuru pursed her pink lips and whispered, "You come from a family of doctors, a hereditary medical family, so I asked you to come and examine Grandma."
The destiny link required physical contact; no matter what, he had to bring Amamiya Natsuki before her grandmother.
Given that, he could only arrange a legitimate identity for Amamiya Natsuki.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome." Amamiya Natsuki said, "I don't have to go in."
"Eh?"
"I just learned a skill and want to try if I can Copy and Paste it to you."
Amamiya Natsuki finished speaking and displayed the rogue physician's ancestral secret technique.
Upon seeing the skill description on the skill panel, which stated "Eliminate Illness," Mizuhara Chizuru's eyes suddenly brightened, and she quickly said, "Natsuki, please, you must give it to me."
Amamiya Natsuki said, "I'll try to Copy and Paste it to you first."
Some skills couldn't be Copy and Pasted, so it was necessary to verify it in advance.
Mizuhara Chizuru looked over with hope, awaiting the answer.
Amamiya Natsuki gently nodded and said, "No problem."
Upon receiving the affirmative answer, Mizuhara Chizuru immediately breathed a sigh of relief, a bright smile appearing on her pretty face, and she said, "Then I'll let go."
Pasting vitality to Grandma only treated the symptoms, not the root cause. Now with a game-certified healing skill, the effect should be even better, right?
She didn't expect her grandmother to fully recover, but even if it only meant her grandmother suffered less from illness and could be more comfortable, that would be enough.
"Cough cough…" At that moment, a cough suddenly sounded behind them.
Amamiya Natsuki turned around and saw an old lady with silver hair. He thought he was blocking someone's way and pulled Mizuhara Chizuru, about to step aside.
"Eh? Eh? Eh?"
Who knew Mizuhara Chizuru would suddenly open her eyes wide, a rare look of nervousness on her face, like a child caught stealing candy by an adult, and say:
"Grandma, why aren't you resting in your room? Why did you come out?"
"After so much rain, it's rare to have sunshine, so of course, I wanted to go downstairs and bask in the sun." Grandma smiled and looked over, "Little Chizuru actually brought her boyfriend to see me today, Grandma is very happy."
"Grandma, you've misunderstood!" Mizuhara Chizuru's pretty face flushed, and she quickly shook her head to deny it, "We're not that kind of relationship!"
"I've been watching from behind for a while." The old woman clasped her hands behind her back, her gaze falling on her granddaughter's hand, "I didn't know Little Chizuru would casually hold hands with a boy."
Mizuhara Chizuru: "..."
When she was a rental girlfriend, she had already held hands with many strangers; it was just that you didn't know.
Mizuhara Chizuru indeed didn't dare to let Grandma know about her job.
There was no way, her Grandma was a very traditional and conservative person, and she definitely wouldn't understand the job of a rental girlfriend.
Unable to find a good excuse for a moment, Mizuhara Chizuru could only clear her throat twice and say:
"Alright, w-well, actually, I wanted to give Grandma a surprise..."
This Chizuru looked at Amamiya Natsuki as she spoke, her eyes pleading.
Amamiya Natsuki secretly blinked, indicating that he would cooperate, and bowed:
"Grandma, I often hear Chizuru mention you. It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time."
The old lady smiled very happily: "My Little Chizuru, I'll have to trouble you to take care of her in the future."
Amamiya Natsuki politely said: "Actually, Chizuru-nee often takes care of me."
"Hmm?"
The old lady's smile suddenly faded, then she took out a pair of reading glasses from her pocket, put them on her face, and leaned closer to Amamiya Natsuki, examining him carefully.
"What a handsome young man, even more handsome than Little Chizuru's grandfather when he was young... How old are you this year? Why do you seem a bit... young?"
Of course, he's young; he's only a high school student, for crying out loud!
Mizuhara Chizuru was even more flustered.
She had just said they were in a relationship, and if Grandma found out Natsuki was just a high school student, that would be terrible!
Preying on high school students, in Grandma's eyes, was already a criminal act!
Amamiya Natsuki's expression was calm, not flustered at all:
"I am sixteen this year..."
Upon hearing his age, the old lady's face sank.
It's over...
Mizuhara Chizuru's vision went black, and she felt as if her whole body had fallen into a valley.
You were so amazing in the instance, even bullying vengeful spirits; don't tell the truth at a time like this!
Amamiya Natsuki continued unhurriedly:
"I am currently a first-year student at a medical university."
The old lady was startled and said in surprise: "You're already in university?"
"This is my student ID..."
Amamiya Natsuki calmly pulled out his student ID from his pocket, while winking at Mizuhara Chizuru, "Because I have very high scores, I was specially admitted by the school early."
"Is Natsuki a genius?"
Grandma exclaimed.
At the same time, Mizuhara Chizuru had already understood the hint, and suddenly covered her forehead with her right hand, her body swaying, leaning towards Amamiya Natsuki.
"Chizuru-nee, are you alright?"
Amamiya Natsuki casually put his student ID back into his pocket and supported Mizuhara Chizuru.
"I'm fine..." Mizuhara Chizuru's voice was weak, "I felt a bit dizzy just now..."
"Grandma, I'll accompany Chizuru-nee to the restroom to wash her face." Amamiya Natsuki naturally called out, "You go back to the Hospital room and wait for us first."
The more panicked one is, the more likely one is to arouse suspicion. Amamiya Natsuki's calm attitude, on the contrary, dispelled the old lady's doubts. She nodded and returned to the Hospital room first.
"Phew..."
Watching Grandma walk into the Hospital room, Mizuhara Chizuru couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, whispering: "That was really dangerous just now."
Amamiya Natsuki retorted:
"Do you think your Grandma would believe me if I said I was twenty?"
"...No."
Mizuhara Chizuru pursed her pink lips, speechless.
"The more critical the moment, the calmer you need to be." Amamiya Natsuki said, "For example, me, I just used my high school ID and insisted it was a university student ID."
Mizuhara Chizuru: "..."
"So, you can walk on your own now, right?" Looking at Mizuhara Chizuru, who was still holding onto his arm, Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but say.
"Wait a little longer." Mizuhara Chizuru's pretty face was slightly red, and she whispered, "Grandma might be secretly following us from behind. She's probably still a bit suspicious now... Should we just go to the restroom like this?"
The two quickly walked to the restroom door.
"I'm going in for a bit, Natsuki, please wait."
Mizuhara Chizuru took half a step back, releasing Amamiya Natsuki's arm.
After she entered the restroom, Amamiya Natsuki took out his phone, about to scroll through Twitter, when he suddenly felt a complex gaze fall upon him.
Turning his head, he saw Tsubame, with her pink hair tied up, standing not far away, looking over with a complicated expression.
"Senpai, you came out so quickly, why didn't you stay a little longer?"
Amamiya Natsuki greeted her.
"Cousin felt sleepy after eating and wanted to sleep, so I came out..." Koyasu Tsubame stepped forward, raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, and said in a casual tone, "Natsuki-kun, what were you doing with Miss Mizuhara just now?"
The pasting skill only requires holding hands, not holding arms, so what was going on just now?
Koyasu Tsubame's internal alarm bells rang loudly.
Could it be that... Miss Mizuhara, while she wasn't around, started to seduce Natsuki-kun with her body again?
Very likely!
The danger of the instance goes without saying. Many female players, in order to clear it, choose to sell their bodies, and this situation is not uncommon.
What's more, Miss Mizuhara has a "record"; she already tried to seduce Natsuki-kun in the instance.
Miss Chizuru is tall, has big breasts, is beautiful, and is an older sister type. If she really tried to seduce someone with her body, a high school student definitely wouldn't be able to resist, right?
At this thought.
Koyasu Tsubame immediately bit her lower lip.
No!
She couldn't just watch Natsuki-kun fall astray. Boys, when they're out and about, must maintain their purity!
Amamiya Natsuki naturally didn't know what his Senpai was thinking. He just received a message and replied while casually saying:
"Nothing, Senpai, don't worry about it."
In the future, he could just directly paste the skill, no need to come to the Hospital anymore, so there was naturally nothing to worry about about the previous matter.
(He didn't even explain; as expected, I guessed correctly!)
Koyasu Tsubame bit her lips, wanting to offer some advice, but when the words reached her mouth, she didn't know what capacity to use to advise him.
She wasn't his girlfriend, so she had no right to tell Amamiya Natsuki to keep his distance from other women.
As a casual friend, she had even less right.
After hesitating for a while, just as Senpai was determined to speak, Mizuhara Chizuru had already washed her face and walked out of the restroom.
"Tsubame-chan, you're out?"
Mizuhara Chizuru greeted her.
Koyasu Tsubame nodded: "Mizuhara-nee..."
Mizuhara Chizuru blinked strangely. Before, she called her Chizuru-nee, so why did she suddenly become Mizuhara-nee now?
Amamiya Natsuki put away his phone and said:
"Senpai, you should go home first. Chizuru-nee and I still need to go to the Hospital room."
Koyasu Tsubame's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.
Once a girl takes the initiative, she can do anything, especially a female university student... If she left, would she drag Natsuki-kun to a Love Hotel or something?
No!
That kind of thing is absolutely not allowed!
Koyasu Tsubame exhaled lightly and smiled: "I don't have anything else to do this afternoon, and I'm not in a hurry to go back. How about I wait for Natsuki-kun and we leave together?"
"Alright."
"..."
Skill pasting complete.
Amamiya Natsuki and Mizuhara Chizuru walked into the Hospital room. After all, since they had come all this way, they should at least say hello before leaving.
Koyasu Tsubame didn't go in. She stood in the hallway, took out her phone, and found her friend who had rich experience in relationships.
"Himeko-chan, let me ask you something..."
"Tsubame, just ask."
Koyasu Tsubame pursed her pink lips: "I have a friend, and the boy she likes is very close to another girl. My friend is very distressed... How can she stop them?"
"Eh eh eh? Tsubame has a boy she likes?"
"I said it's my friend!"
"Understood, your friend's last name must be Koyasu, right?"
"..."
Koyasu Tsubame was mortified, realizing she was being foolish. This kind of thing shouldn't be discussed with friends at all.
"The method is actually very simple." Her friend quickly replied, "Tsubame, tell your friend that it's better to make the first move, or you'll suffer. She can just confess to the boy she likes."
Koyasu Tsubame: "How can a girl confess first?"
"Useless modesty. The boy Tsubame likes must be very outstanding, right?"
"I said it's not me!"
"So, Tsubame isn't denying that he's outstanding?"
Koyasu Tsubame: "..."
Thinking about it carefully, Natsuki-kun is indeed very outstanding in terms of appearance, studies, and other abilities. His only flaw is probably wanting a harem.
This matter... actually isn't that infuriating.
Openly having a harem is much better than secretly, saying he only likes one person, then turning around and going on dates with other girls.
Secondly, after being chosen by the game, every instance is very dangerous. You never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first. What players can do is seize the present and not leave any regrets.
Her phone vibrated, and Koyasu Tsubame received another message.
"Boys are always greedy and can't resist temptation. If you don't want to regret it, Tsubame, you have to seize the opportunity."
Koyasu Tsubame pursed her pink lips: "...I just don't want him to be deceived by bad girls."
Friend: "Cheating him out of money or his body?"
Koyasu Tsubame: "..."
"Then it's cheating him out of his body." Her friend, as an experienced person, said, "A boy's energy is like soda. The first time you shake the bottle, it's very intense; the second time it's much less; and the third time it's gone... The method is simple, Tsubame, you just need to drain that boy dry."
"Wh-what?!" Koyasu Tsubame's pretty face flushed, and she couldn't help but retort, "I'm not a juicer; I can't do that!"
"…"
A moment later, Amamiya Natsuki emerged from the patient's room.
"Natsuki-kun, you're out?" Koyasu Tsubame quickly put away her phone. "Is Mizuhara not with you?"
"She's inside talking to my grandmother, so of course not," Amamiya Natsuki said. "Why is your face so red?"
"It's a bit warm." Koyasu Tsubame coughed twice, turning her pretty face away. "Where are you going now, Natsuki-kun?"
"Home." Amamiya Natsuki stepped out. "What about you, Senpai?"
Koyasu Tsubame secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm going home too, so we can go together."
"…"
They walked in silence.
The two arrived at the Train Station, then parted ways.
"Natsuki-kun, see you at school tomorrow." Koyasu Tsubame waved.
Amamiya Natsuki nodded: "See you tomorrow."
Watching Amamiya Natsuki board the train, Koyasu Tsubame's pretty face was slightly flushed, and she held her phone to her chest.
There's no way I can trick him, right?
Should I tell everyone?
"Forget it…" Koyasu Tsubame hesitated slightly, then shook her head, feeling guilty. "Maybe I misunderstood… I'll wait until I investigate it thoroughly."
"If Mizuhara is really using her body to tempt Natsuki-kun, it won't be too late to act then."
"…"
Half an hour later, Amamiya Natsuki got off the train, went to the supermarket to buy some groceries, and then returned home.
Passing by the park near his home, he happened to see Miko walking over with a dog, evidently having just finished walking it.
Amamiya Natsuki stopped and looked at his childhood friend, smiling:
"Long time no see, I'm back."
"It's only been one night…" Miko's lips curved slightly upwards, and her eyes curved into crescents. "Welcome back."
