Chapter 7: Already Set the Infirmary as a Respawn Point

An unfamiliar ceiling.

However

"Please take care of me from now on." Qingshan Li had a premonition he would often wake up here.

Just from the faint medicinal scent and the intermittent cheers of sports clubs outside the window, he knew where he was.

School Infirmary.

"When did you develop the habit of sleep-talking?" Ono Mizuki's soft whisper.

Qingshan Li didn't rush to explain.

—System, get out here!

The Panel appeared before his eyes; as long as he wanted to look, he could see it even with his eyes closed.

—Do you know I almost died?!

He had almost died, while the Panel was dead silent as if it had truly died.

The resentment in Qingshan Li's heart, like a balloon crushed by a steamroller, instantly became listless.

Putting away his emotions, he began browsing the data.

Whether it was "Strength," "Speed," or "Constitution," none had changed.

On the contrary, the Novel Material had made progress—

【Fitness Book: 25%】

The pain of exercise and the insights from long-distance running had indeed been gained considerably.

【Campus Mystery, Main Ability is Beauty: 83%】

【Campus Romance Daily Life: 20%】

This was also the first time in his life coming to the school's infirmary, and as someone who fainted at that, so it was only natural these two had progress.

"What time is it now?" Qingshan Li sat up.

"Brother, you're awake? How's your body? No, how's your head? Everyone suspects you've gone crazy right now." Ono Mizuki hurriedly looked over.

"Put away your unnecessary worry, just answer my question, what time is it?"

"Four-thirty, school's been out for a while. Sister came to check on you once, but she had to go to her part-time job so she went back first."

"Send Mika a message, just say I'm fine." Qingshan Li said, "You don't need to worry either, I'm fine now."

"We'll see after the teacher examines you!" Ono Mizuki didn't believe him.

She called the Medical Teacher.

The Medical Teacher was a young woman with short hair, extremely delicate features, and a cold expression that made one suspect she was a robot.

On her chest, coordinated like a robot's, was a nameplate reading "Kuze Oto."

—No.

"Teacher Kuze, trouble you then." Ono Mizuki bowed.

"This is what I should do." Kuze Oto pressed her hand deep into Qingshan Li's body, "Does it hurt here?"

"Doesn't hurt, just a weird sensation of being pressed."

"This is a normal manifestation for an adolescent boy." Kuze Oto said without any emotion.

Qingshan Li meant a purely weird sensation, like having something in his pocket, not that kind of weird sensation.

Ono Mizuki's gaze was no longer looking at a retard and a madman, but at a pervert and a molester.

Kuze Oto pressed a few more places, asking about Qingshan Li's feelings.

Finally, she said: "No problem, don't run this week, come here for a checkup every noon, if you're really worried you can go to the hospital."

"Teacher, I absolutely trust you!" Qingshan Li's tone was like swearing allegiance.

Kuze Oto nodded, turned and left.

"Brother." Ono Mizuki's face was full of contempt.

"I said that because I have no money for medical treatment!"

"Hmph."

Since his body was fine, Ono Mizuki planned to go to her Club.

At Kaiming Senior High School, roll call is taken before every Club Activity starts; it is absolutely not a loose organization where you can skip whenever you don't want to come.

"My cute little sister, I've decided to make your Club the first target for a visit." Qingshan Li said.

Ono Mizuki scrutinized him suspiciously.

She didn't say anything, but there was a necessity to explain why she was using this kind of gaze.

Ono Mizuki is in the Choir Club, and Qingshan Li once said "The existence of the Choir Club is as stupid as driving to the gym on weekends to work out."

He neither understands choir nor has he ever gone to the gym on weekends, so he was simply bullying his sister.

"I'm not the me from before." Qingshan Li said.

"Brain broken?"

"No, I must have someone support me to walk, so today I can only go to your Club!"

Ono Mizuki clicked her tongue, a smile appearing on her face.

She helped Qingshan Li down from the bed, the two thanked Kuze Oto once again, and left the Infirmary.

"Can you walk?" Ono Mizuki asked.

"It feels like I'm a car with no gas being pushed along." Qingshan Li answered.

"Have you ever seen a car?" Ono Mizuki sneered.

Of course she had; saying that was to emphasize just how poor her family was.

"Actually I saw it in last night's novel — reading really is useful, even someone like me now knows there are cars in the world."

Ono Mizuki gave his back a slap.

"Be careful." She supported him as they walked upstairs.

The infirmary is on the first floor of the Club Building; the Choir Club and other music clubs are on the third floor.

Tokyo welcomed dusk; a beam of orange-yellow light fell on the stair corner, as if someone were shining a flashlight, and the two passed through it.

"Why did you run so fast today?" Ono Mizuki asked.

"Miyuki," Qingshan Li said, "not just PE class — from now on my whole life will move at this speed, to make you a super rich person!"

"You mean you want me to buy you life insurance? But you've been hospitalized recently, and with today's incident, the insurance company won't sign a contract with me that easily."

"... Your comprehension ability is terrifying in a certain sense."

Ono Mizuki smiled brilliantly.

The two reached the third floor; the classrooms on this floor were all very large.

"Brother."

"Hm?"

"More than becoming rich, I hope we stay together forever."

These classrooms have excellent soundproofing too; even so, whenever they neared a classroom door, they could still faintly hear the sounds inside.

Brass band, choir, light music, rock, anime music.

The declining birthrate has nothing to do with the rich, so Kaimei High School has a large student body, which also leads to extremely abundant clubs.

Qingshan Li committed all these details to memory.

"You're wearing one hundred yen underwear but dare spout big talk looking down on money?" Qingshan Li said.

"No matter the price tag, a beautiful girl's underwear is a priceless treasure!" Ono Mizuki said.

"As a pervert, I admit defeat."

This line should be usable in a novel.

The two knocked and entered the Choir Club's activity classroom.

"Takahashi-senpai, sorry." Ono Mizuki bowed. "My brother insisted on coming to observe."

"It's fine." Takahashi-senpai's voice was gentle yet perfunctory; she was staring at Qingshan Li.

Takahashi-senpai smiled: "Classmate Aoyama, welcome to the Choir Club."

"Sorry for the intrusion." Qingshan Li smiled faintly.

"Quickly help your brother sit down; today won't count as an absence for you." Takahashi-san said softly to Ono Mizuki.

"Thank you, Senpai." Ono Mizuki was the obedient, quiet type at school.

The Choir Club is a small tiered classroom; Qingshan Li sat in the back row, holding the Choir Club promotional pamphlet Takahashi Aya gave him.

"Everyone, continue."

Takahashi Aya played the piano; the Choir Club members stood at their seats, holding black sheet music folders, and began singing following the conductor.

Before looking at the handbook, Qingshan Li surveyed the entire classroom.

On the solid walls between the windows hung portraits of musicians; the white curtains floated slightly.

Hm?

At one curtain, Qingshan Li saw a human figure.

"Ready, sing!"

It was a girl; she stood by the window, holding the same promotional pamphlet, flipping through it casually.

"Tears on the distant grass~"

"The uncut jade in your palm~"

The spring breeze lifted her lustrous black hair; the last few petals of this spring's cherry blossoms drifted gently past the window behind her.
