In practice, I can issue tasks to my master.

Nangong Cheng stood aside, watching the kind and gentle female doctor treat the injury on Ichinose Honami's foot.

"Doctor, is it serious?"

"It's not particularly serious, but as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, so it will take at least one or two months to fully heal."

As soon as the female doctor finished speaking, she turned around and said, "You young couples always like to do these fancy things."

"Look how red your girlfriend's knees are. Can't you do things in bed instead?"

"Ah ha ha……"

Nangong Cheng chuckled twice but didn't reply.

Honami Ichinose blushed and lowered her head, feeling even more embarrassed and ashamed than when she helped Makoto Nangong in the bathroom before.

"Alright, you two can chat all you want. I'm going to get a sick leave certificate."

After the female doctor left, Nangong Cheng stepped forward.

He glanced at the bandage on Honami Ichinose's ankle and... the redness and swelling on her knee.

"Sorry..."

"It's alright, it's all my fault for being careless..."

Ichinose Honami blushed so deeply that her face turned bright red at the thought of what she had stepped on to slip and fall.

Not wanting to bring up such an embarrassing topic, she immediately said, "However, I probably won't be able to cook for you, Cheng-kun, anymore..."

Nangong Cheng immediately understood.

"It's okay, I can eat at the cafeteria if I really can't. The most important thing right now is for Ichinose to recover properly."

"How about I send a message to Wangcang now and ask her to pick you up?"

After saying that, he canceled the daily quest for Ichinose Honami.

But then they gave her a new task.

[Daily tasks are being released]

[Task objective: Recover from injuries]

[Task Reward: 100 points/day]

There is no penalty for this mission.

"do not want!"

Honami Ichinose puffed out her cheeks.

Nangong Cheng no longer calls her by her name; he has reverted to calling her by her surname.

This time it wasn't exactly a failed confession, so why was she being so distant?

Did I interrupt your search for other younger girls?

Perhaps it was because of her injury, but Ichinose Honami felt that she was suddenly becoming a bit emotional.

"Chengjun, wouldn't it be the same if you just took me back?"

Nangong Cheng scratched his head.

It wasn't that he was unwilling...

"Young man, your girlfriend has sacrificed so much for you, what's wrong with giving her a ride?"

"Here, the leave slip is ready."

The female doctor returned at that moment.

She handed the leave slip to Honami Ichinose and said earnestly, "And she won't be going to class anymore."

No, don't do that.

Nangong Cheng chuckled twice and immediately replied, "That's not true. I was just making a suggestion."

After saying that, he looked back at Honami Ichinose, who was staring at him expectantly.

Women are truly born actresses.

Nangong Cheng sighed inwardly, and then simply gave Ichinose Honami a princess carry.

"Then we'll leave now, thank you for your help."

"Let's go, let's go. Next time, remember to do it in bed. Don't let this happen again."

"..."

Ichinose Honami buried her head in Nangong Cheng's arms, and the latter ran away as if his feet were greased.

We made our way back to the student dormitory.

Under the subtle gaze of the dormitory supervisor, Nangong Cheng carried Ichinose Honami to her dormitory.

"Then I'll go back first."

"Um……"

This time, Honami Ichinose didn't try to stop her.

Since things have come to this, we might as well take advantage of the time she is injured to think carefully about her relationship with Nangong Cheng.

Her confession certainly wasn't a failure; it was simply because Nangong Cheng's thoughts were unconventional. Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't be in her own bed right now.

"boom."

Hearing the front door close, Honami Ichinose thought that she should probably discuss it with her best friend.

After all, she really doesn't have much experience with romance, but the latter at least has experience with having a crush on someone, which might give her some inspiration.

do as promised.

Honami Ichinose immediately took out her phone and made a voice call to her best friend, Masami Amakura.

...

...

the other side.

After leaving Ichinose Honami's dormitory, Minamiya Seiya also took out his phone and sent a message to Horikita Suzune.

Ichinose sprained her ankle, and the school doctor said she'll probably need to rest for two months. Could you come help her cook some meals?

【? 】

Subsequent replies are not important.

Nangong Cheng directly issued the task.

[Daily Task Released]

[Target: Horikita Suzune]

[Task: Prepare three meals for Nangong Cheng every day]

[Task Reward: 100 points/day]

[Punishment for failing the mission: Call me "Dad" one hundred times]

Oh right, the daily observation and diary writing task I gave Horikita Suzune should be canceled. I'll just replace it with a "Daily Reflection Diary" instead.

However, we can talk about this tomorrow.

The fire that Ichinose Honami stirred up today still needs to be dealt with, but Nangong Cheng doesn't want to rely on the Five Fingers Girl to solve it... Actually, the main reason is that his own hands are definitely not as good as the hands of a beautiful girl.

Once people have tasted something good, it's hard for them to go back.

and so--

"Now that things have come to this, let's call in reinforcements."

Nangong Cheng scrolled through his contact list.

But actually, there's no need to choose at all.

Because even setting aside the least likely candidate, Horikita Suzune, it's impossible for Kushida Kikyo to have pressed her handprint and experienced Kato Taka's hand.

Sakura Airi is a good candidate; he estimates that even if the girl were to become a steampunk princess, she would eventually agree, albeit reluctantly.

But compared to Sakura Airi, Karuizawa Megumi, who had already confessed to him and experienced the Kato Taka-te massage, was definitely more suitable.

Therefore, Nangong Cheng extended an invitation for a private meeting.

soon.

Karuizawa Megumi arrived at the scene.

But it looks like it ran over.

"Nan, Nangong Jun...you were looking for me?"

If you're panting, don't squeeze it.

Don't push yourself so hard.

"Hmm, Karuizawa-kun, have you eaten?"

"I... I just finished eating with Maya Chiaki and the others, and then I received your message, Nangong-kun~"

Karuizawa Kei smoothed her hair while subtly scanning the room with her eyes, then followed closely behind Nangong Cheng into the room.

The last time I came to this room was the last time.

She calculated that there was only a little over a week left, but it felt like an eternity.

There is no other reason.

Even now, she still recalls the feeling of that night, but she can never replicate that feeling with her own hands alone.

It seemed that only Nangong Cheng's hands could do that.

Would it seem too forward to approach someone proactively?

That night, she was only able to do it because of her drive and the "encouragement" from Teacher Chaba; otherwise, she probably wouldn't have dared to do it.

But today is different.

It was Nangong Cheng who took the initiative to contact her!

There's no way to refuse now!

"That's quite a coincidence."

"Would you like something to drink, Karuizawa-kun?"

Nangong Cheng responded politely.

After all, what he's about to do is... well, it's hard to say who's at a disadvantage and who's at a disadvantage for the girl.

In theory, it's still a matter of one party being willing to give and the other being willing to receive.

But these nights...

No, not just at night.

Anyway, what he saw through the mosquito and fly camera in Karuizawa's room these days was basically... he only saw a miner who was filled with resentment.

To be honest, Nangong Cheng really didn't expect that the addiction would be cultivated in less than a month.

While the massage that night may have played a role, the fact that it was done so quickly demonstrates the value of McDonald's brand.

"Water is enough."

Karuizawa Kei replied politely, suppressing her slightly expectant and eager feelings, and asked, "So, is there something you need my help with, Nangong-kun?"

Nangong Cheng handed him a glass of warm water.

He smiled and explained, "Maybe, but I mainly wanted to ask how you've been these past few days."

"You must be feeling really cooped up in your dorm all day, right?"

Karuizawa Megumi blushed slightly.

This triggered a keyword.

Because these past few days she really has... cough cough!
