"You...you're awake." Hoshino Shiori shook her hands in a panic, a little at a loss. "How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
"Ah, that's not right." Then, the girl reacted belatedly, "I should have called the doctor first."
Yuan Ye looked at the busy girl in front of him. He originally had a lot of things he wanted to say, but at this moment, it didn't matter.
With a gentle breath, the air was filled with a strong citrus aroma. The aroma spread in the ward because of the girl's long stay, and melted into the bedding like rain.
"It smells very good." Yuanye said casually, "When did you change to new perfume...or, Hoshino, when did you start wearing perfume? You had no interest in such items before."
"Change your mood..." Hoshino Shiori was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Yuanye would suddenly ask this question, and replied somewhat evasively, "People always have to be brave enough to try new things, right?"
"Indeed." Yuan Ye nodded, "How do you know I'm here?"
"I saw you in the latest tweet posted on [Sword Holder]'s social account." Hoshino Shiori shared the contents of his personal system on the tablet he carried with him, and handed it to him because he hadn't seen it since he woke up. The electronic display liquid is dripped and the personal terminal cannot be used.
Ever since she discovered that the other party had turned into a somewhat old-fashioned guy, Hoshino Shiori began to carry these props with her to facilitate communication between the two. For her now, the real world is no longer what it appears to the naked eye.
Yuan Ye took the tablet and found that the tweet displayed on the social account was a text with a picture.
[This mission was successfully completed #红心#红心 (picture)]
The accompanying picture shows a sixteen-sided crystal held between two slender fingers. Through the refraction of the crystal, you can clearly see Yuan Ye lying unconscious on the ground, mixed with many residual limbs, like a Zhang only makes third-rate horror game CG by randomly adding blood to play with bloody scenes and not paying attention to atmosphere creation.
"Is this account... really a sword-wielding person?" Yuan Ye flipped through the contents of this social account and found that they were all "mission briefings" with pictures and text.
"It's a certain writer's 'virtual character'. Everyone thinks this account is just because that person went crazy, but because it looks very real, this account is very popular on social networks." Hoshino Shiori replied, " But now it seems to be true. I saw you appearing in the tweet and felt something was wrong. I tried to contact you and found out that you had been hospitalized.”
——Is it similar to the relationship between Fujimoto and his sister Koharu?
Yuan Ye recalled a cartoonist who was quite popular on the Internet before time travel. That guy liked to pretend that his non-existent underage sister went crazy on social networks. In the end, his account was banned due to the underage management regulations of social accounts. , became a joke for a while.
——The target of the [Sword Holder] seems not to be me, but the sixteen-sided crystal in the perfect human body bred by Chimera.
Install the latest version. 】
——I don’t know what that crystal is, so I’d better leave it alone for the time being. There are still many things to be busy with now, so I should focus on the creation of the concept of meditation and Yagyu Konobo.
——Now that we are exploring the identity of the sword-wielding person, we are more or less free of trouble.
Yuan Ye sighed and only paid the minimum attention - that is, writing down the social account and preparing to go back and follow it.
When he first traveled to this world, he did hear the urban legend of the sword-wielding man from Shiori Hoshino, but since he became familiar with the underground world, he also knew that the sword-wielding man was just a bounty hunter with some reputation. That's all, except that he often helps big companies and may be the dog of a big company, he is no different from other bounty hunters.
Maybe the other party really has a big secret, but that's not his business.
Yuanye broke away from his thoughts, and then realized that he had once again left Hoshino Shiori aside.
She turned her head in a panic, but found that no impatience appeared on the girl's face. She just sat there quietly, waiting for Yuanye's reply.
"Hey..." Yuanye called out subconsciously, but he immediately realized the impoliteness and changed his words, "Hoshino, why do you want to take care of me...come to visit me?"
Yuanye lowered his head and asked, but secretly looked at the girl from the corner of his eyes, as if he wanted to read the answer he wanted from her expression.
"Why?" Hoshino Shiori turned her head away and replied somewhat casually, "I am your childhood sweetheart and your friend. Isn't it natural for me to come visit you when you are in the hospital?"
"Besides, it's very difficult to find a food taster like you who takes the trouble to taste it." Hoshino Shiori took out the handbag on the bedside table and took out the insulated lunch box inside, "Today's dessert is a tangerine that I made by myself. Flavored jelly, so look forward to it.”
"Hoshino." Somewhat suddenly, Yuanye asked again, "Is it that important to help you taste it?"
"...Yes." Hoshino Shiori nodded and showed a delighted smile, "It is precisely because of your help that I can gradually improve my cooking skills, accumulate courage, and move towards my ultimate goal. It is really great." Thank you so much for your help, I couldn't do it without you."
"Really?" Yuanye felt an inexplicable pain in his chest. It might be that the wound caused by being hit by the Chimera hadn't healed yet. "You really like that person."
"Yes, I really like him, very, very much." Hoshino Shiori suddenly stood up, so close that Yuanye could feel her breath on her skin, looked directly into his eyes, and said seriously , "I hope I can convey my feelings to..."
At this moment, the doctor on duty opened the door of the ward.
It came at just the right time, which made Yuanye feel relieved for some reason.
"There is generally no problem." After the routine examination, the doctor said while recording the condition on the virtual screen, "If you want, you can be discharged now. Just apply in the hospitalization system and go through the discharge procedures."
After saying that, the nurse next to him brought a camera, scanned Yuan Ye's face, and then shook her head at the doctor.
"Failed to pass facial ID authentication?" The doctor muttered in confusion, took over the authentication device, and changed the two authentication methods of iris and fingerprint. This time, it passed smoothly.
Yuan Ye felt a little strange, but didn't take it to heart as long as the certification passed.
"It's better for minors to have less exposure to medical beauty. It's wrong to change your appearance just to please a girl." The doctor was obviously a bit old-fashioned. After giving Yuanye a few words, he kindly helped him update the system. The identity information in the message and left.
After the doctor left, the atmosphere between the two fell into that weird silence again.
After a while, Yuanye asked casually: "Did Yagyu invite you? It's a weekend party."
"Um."
"Do you accept it?"
"Yeah." It was still a short answer.
"I'm really looking forward to it." Yuan Ye said perfunctorily, but he was already thinking about what excuses he should find to get rid of it. However, the ancient painting exhibition was really attractive to him, and he didn't think of any good solution for a while.
However, as if fate helped Genya realize this ulterior wish in his heart, Hoshino Shiori did not come to the party at the weekend.
