Chapter 11: The System Is Finally Normal, But It Seems Abnormal Again

Ono Mika changed back into her school uniform and said goodbye to the doctor.

"Doctor Nishitani, thank you for your hard work today."

"Mm, go home early. You've worked hard too." Doctor Nishitani looked so thin it was worrying; she was an older single mother, and her daughter could occasionally be seen at the hospital.

"Mom."

For example, tonight.

The girl who walked in was also wearing a school uniform, but entirely in the style of a Shibuya Gal, with dyed brown hair and her skirt rolled up as if her buttocks could be seen.

Doctor Nishitani frowned slightly: "Don't dress like that at night, it's dangerous."

"That's why I came to find you, to go home together." The gal said.

Ono Mika bowed slightly to Doctor Nishitani, then walked toward Qingshan Li.

The gal saw Qingshan Li, smiled and waved, and even threw him a flying kiss.

"Only if a handsome guy like Ryo-kun becomes my boyfriend will I graduate from being a gal and start training to be a bride."

"Only if you graduate from being a gal could he possibly be your boyfriend." That said, Doctor Nishitani had never forcibly interfered with her daughter's clothing and appearance.

Qingshan Li and Ono Mika walked out of the hospital and walked home in the night.

"Is your foot okay?" Ono Mika asked.

"It's fine."

It was fine on the way here, but now it actually hurt a bit; Qingshan Li still had both hands in his pockets, pretending to be fine.

Suddenly, he turned around and looked toward the other side of the hospital.

"What's wrong?" Ono Mika was puzzled and followed his gaze.

Several men and women with variously dyed hair were idly chatting under the lights not far away.

"Are they Misao's friends?" she guessed.

"They don't look like good people." Qingshan Li said.

"Maybe they're bringing Misao home? Don't talk nonsense without evidence." Ono Mika said somewhat reproachfully, reaching out to pat Qingshan Li.

"Yes, yes." Qingshan Li smiled.

The night breeze blew gently, cool to just the right degree, cool enough that one only needed to slightly tighten their body to not feel cold.

On the cherry blossom tree, leaves and cherry blossoms intermingled.

A beautiful spring night.

On Tuesday, Qingshan Li woke up in the morning, and the soreness in both legs made him suspect that these two legs had secretly run out to play at night and been run over by a car on the road all night.

It must be because he hadn't rested properly after waking up in the infirmary yesterday!

"Take the day off today." Ono Mika said sympathetically.

"No need." Qingshan Li gritted his teeth and said, "I've already missed two weeks of class; I can't rest anymore."

"But you—"

"I'll keep sitting in my seat."

"Just keep acting tough!" Ono Mizuki snorted coldly.

"If I really can't stand it, I'll go to the infirmary."

Last night he read mystery books, but his material collection progress had not advanced at all; staying at home was meaningless.

And before next month, if he couldn't write the book, Ono Mizuki would quit the club and go work part-time like her sister.

Supported by the two sisters, Qingshan Li made his way to school with difficulty.

At the school gate, Qingshan Li caught Kobayashi Shiki and Aizawa Jun.

"You two, come help me!" he said.

"This is the result of forcibly using a battle belt half-baked!" Kobayashi Shiki made the arrogant voice of a minor villain.

"You have potential, Qingshan." Aizawa Jun said.

"Thank you." Ono Mika bowed slightly from the side.

"Where, where!"

"Senior, this is what we should do!"

The two hurriedly bowed at a greater angle, bringing Qingshan Li in the middle to bow with them.

"Foot, foot, foot!" Qingshan Li's face twisted in pain.

Ono Mizuki giggled.

Class 2-4; originally everyone was curious about Qingshan Li breaking the school record, but now that he had fainted and become a cripple today, everyone felt it was no surprise.

"Classmate Aoyama, are you okay?"

"You're pushing yourself too hard; you can take the day off to rest at home!"

"My dad works at Tokyo University Hospital; tell me any symptoms, and I'll ask my dad for you!"

"No need." Qingshan Li forced a smile. "Kobayashi, Aizawa, take me to the infirmary; I just need to lie down for a while."

Qingshan Li took his bookbag with him.

He hadn't lied to Ono Mizuki; he really would go to the infirmary if he couldn't stand it, it was just that he couldn't stand being too popular.

"Is it really okay, Qingshan?" Aizawa Jun asked worriedly.

"About the level of a mouth ulcer." Qingshan Li didn't care.

"Meaning, although it hurts, it doesn't matter?" Kobayashi Shiki asked.

"Exactly."

The infirmary bed wasn't available for just anyone to sleep on.

After an examination, receiving permission from Kuze Oto, who had a robot-like exquisite feel, Qingshan Li was able to stay in the infirmary.

After the other two left, Kuze Oto asked, "You didn't rest well yesterday?"

The feeling she gave was less like caring for a student and more like caring whether her own judgment was correct.

"Apologies, Teacher Kuze." Qingshan Li lowered his head and said.

Being chased by the short-haired girl, standing for half the journey home, and then forcing himself to go pick up Ono Mika in the evening, these legs truly hadn't obtained sufficient rest.

"I'll massage them for you."

"No need, Teacher Kuze, I"

Kuze Oto had already picked up one of Qingshan Li's legs and squeezed hard.

"Ah!!!"

Qingshan Li felt as if his bones had been struck hard by someone, all the muscles in his body trembling in intense pain.

Kuze Oto seemed unable to hear, also unable to see, continuing to exert force.

Besides the unprepared-for first squeeze, Qingshan Li made no more sound.

A real man never yields!

Except when the System guides fitness.

"Tea-cher, tru-ly, use-ful, is it?" Qingshan Li asked through gritted teeth.

"I stayed for a period at China's most famous tuina hospital."

"I see!" Qingshan Li felt relieved.

"Climbed the Three Mountains and Five Peaks in one go, and when I went to Huangshan last, I was sent there." Kuze Oto said.

"Teacher, you... are a patient?"

"Mhm!" For the first time Kuze Oto showed a change in tone, because her hands were exerting great force right now.

"Mhm————" In Qingshan Li's long muffled groan, besides pain, there was the feeling of wanting to cry but having no tears.

Five minutes later.

"Done."

Kuze Oto used a handkerchief embroidered with the two characters 'Kuze' to lightly wipe her forehead, as if wiping the most exquisite porcelain, the handkerchief itself also an artwork.

Qingshan Li could no longer speak; even though it was over, it still hurt so much he felt breathing hurt.

Kuze Oto looked at him once: "You're not bad."

As if someone had said she lacked sincerity when praising, to prove she truly was praising, she added another sentence: "You can come often from now on."

"Tha-nk, tha-nk, tea-cher." Qingshan Li basically didn't hear clearly what she said.

"However, being able to endure hardship can sometimes also become an obstacle." Kuze Oto pulled the curtain shut and turned to leave.

Too painful.

Must do something.

Not that I don't trust Kuze Oto, just that compared to her, there's an existence more worthy of trust.

——System, give me a massage!

System Guidance may cause unexpected situations, at this time can't care about that much.

Massage has many types, everyone knows this, but Qingshan Li doesn't need to say too detailed, the System can understand which type he needs.

【Begin 'Self-Massage' Guidance】

Qingshan Li's hands moved, those legs seeming already broken, letting him dispose of them.

Deep pressing, dynamic rolling, and various other techniques were applied one by one to the legs.

As if pouring a pot of suitably warm water slowly onto the legs, waves of heat rippled out.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!", the sound of flesh striking flesh.

"Ha~", an uncontrollable comfortable sound.

Great, it's a very normal massage.

Qingshan Li was like being threatened by a girlfriend, opening TikTok right in front of her, scrolling three videos in a row, none showing a beauty, just as peace of mind.

Kuze Oto picked up the tissue on the desk, walked to the sickbed, reached out and passed it through the curtain gap.

"Thank you, Teacher." Qingshan Li needed it right now, he had sweated profusely.

"Don't get it on the bed."

"Rest assured, I won't!"
