The weather gradually turned cooler.
Because of Haruka Yuzan's high Physical Strength Level of eight, he still wore short sleeves and shorts while everyone else had donned their jackets.
Strolling in the wind, a handsome man from Tokyo needs to be unrestrained and carefree.
Having stepped out of the villa, Haruka Yuzan looked at the maple leaves by the street that had started turning yellow and couldn't help muttering to himself, "In two more months, it'll be the season when Cheng-ge died. I sure don't want to join him at such an opportune time..."
The black sedan had already been parked at the entrance.
Haruka Yuzan went straight in. He had agreed to visit the young lady's father with her today. Follow current novᴇls on novel✶fire.net
Arriving at the hospital.
Since it was a private hospital established by the Otome Family, Otome Toyama's ward occupied the entire floor, calling it a ward would be an understatement; it was more like a finely decorated presidential suite.
Otome Toyama was still in a coma. The doctor said if it hadn't been for the Otome Family Head's strong will to live, the young lady might have been preparing to take over by now.
Lady Otome was dressed in plain clothes, like a forgotten lily. Her eyes were filled with sorrow and resilience – the once dignified lady of status now withered with concern for her husband's safety.
Otome Mizuko seemed relatively calm. Her father had fallen, but she couldn't show any sign of timidity.
Haruka Yuzan sat beside the bed, quietly observing the middle-aged man in front of him.
[Proximity detected.]
[Revitalizing Pill available for use.]
[Use complete, effect expected in ten minutes.]
[Would the player like to conceal their identity?]
"Do good deeds anonymously? As a handsome man from Tokyo, I indeed need such character... bullsh*t!"
He was a scumbag, if he did a good deed without letting others know, then what was the point?
"Is there a reasonable explanation?" Haruka Yuzan asked himself.
He didn't want to expose his secrets, even though he was sure the young lady would protect him.
[Transfer successful.]
[Effect expected in three minutes.]
[The player will join Otome Mizuko in appearing in Otome Toyama's dream to offer care and help as a family member, assisting him to regain consciousness.]
"What a melodramatic plot."
Haruka Yuzan mentally grumbled.
But he had no choice in the matter.
Soon, ten minutes passed, and Otome Toyama, who had been motionless in his bed, suddenly had a twitch at the corner of his eye, followed by his finger, his arm...
"Mizuko, Auntie, look at Uncle Toyama!"
Haruka Yuzan pretended to be surprised.
Lady Otome quickly pressed the bedside bell. The world's most authoritative psychiatrists were almost on call 24 hours a day; at the sound of the alarm, a swarm of white coats quickly flooded in.
"A miracle, this is simply a medical miracle!"
Otome Toyama regained consciousness, his expression complex as he glanced at his wife and daughter before his gaze moved through the crowd to Haruka Yuzan.
These two words slowly came from the lips of the Otome Family Head.
Haruka Yuzan smiled quietly, silently stepping out of the room.
Now was the time for Otome Toyama to have his health checked and to reunite with his family.
Tokyo's autumn air was filled with a faint fragrance of sweet osmanthus.
Maple leaves burned like flames on the branches, and ginkgo leaves spread like gold across the ground. The autumn breeze brought a hint of coolness and also swept down a myriad of colorful leaves.
A new term quietly began in this bustling city.
Today, Haruka Yuzan got up early. He put on the Western school uniform he hadn't worn for over two months and stood in front of the mirror, feeling somewhat dazed.
"Time flies, doesn't it? In the blink of an eye, it's time for school to start?"
He only realized it was the first day of school when he remembered Chiba-san's reminder from last night. He was still a student?!
Indeed, even if the academic workload was extremely light in the Island Country, going to school was still a drag.
Going down to the living room.
The ladies had already gone to open the cafe early.
There were three breakfasts left on the table.
Haruka, Shimizu... the brat.
"Good morning, Chiba-san."
Haruka Yuzan greeted the girl, and Chiba Shimizu, too, had put on her JK uniform, looking youthful and beautiful.
Chiba Shimizu nodded and pushed the breakfast toward Haruka.
Since the girl's birthday, her attitude toward Haruka Yuzan had gradually become warmer, showing none of her usual aloofness.
Haruka Yuzan smiled warmly.
After breakfast, they left the villa together.
"It's great, isn't it, Chiba-san? To be able to go to school together again."
"Hey, by the way, I heard that there's an autumn break next term, which is really something to look forward to."
