Mana, So You Have a Little One Too

"I have a water bottle from PE class, so I don't need it," Shiina Riki said casually.

Rikki was also a heavy drinker of water. Her athletic performance was excellent, and the senior students in the track and field department often enthusiastically invited her to join the women's 100-meter race, believing that she would definitely achieve something in the national competition. However, Rikki still refused.

After all, it's normal for Rikki's body to be so perfect.

Riki went to the counter to order a drink from Rinrin-senpai. When she returned and sat down, she still noticed Takamatsu Akari's gaze, which was quite bothersome.

It's so heavy.

Riki thought he had gotten used to it, but the pressure from the King of Gravity still made him fearful.

Riki is the challenger.

"Why are you looking at me like that, Lamp?" Riki finally couldn't help but ask.

Takamatsu Akari looked at Riki: "Will Riki love me forever?"

A must-have starting point for the Empress Akari.

"Of course." Riki nodded.

Takamatsu Akari tilted his head.

The lamp is so cute.

No, why does the light still look a bit off?

"Then why don't you do what Rikki did?" Takamatsu Akari asked. "Isn't it for a lifetime?"

Riki felt an increased sense of pressure under Takamatsu Akari's gaze.

So the lamp felt it was falling behind.

It's okay, light. I'm the same as everyone else...

However, the light's gaze was indeed terrifying, like a black hole.

"Of course, it's for a lifetime..." Riki said.

"That's good, I'll be waiting for Riki." Takamatsu Akari immediately smiled.

How terrifying.

I feel like I'm going to be eaten by the light.

The Heavy Woman in a harem are too much is terrifying. If you want to build a harem, you really have to be prepared to be stuck with them. If even one of them genuinely refuses the idea of having a harem but then falls in love with you, you're doomed.

Are you all studying?

Riki heard the familiar voice of White Moonlight, turned around and saw Toyokawa Sakiko's sweet smiling face, with Miaomeng following beside her.

"A study session! I haven't studied with my classmates in so long!" Miao Meng excitedly picked up the textbook on the table, but her smile gradually faded, and she casually put it back.

Can't read.

The knowledge gained in high school is completely erased the moment you graduate.

All the attribute points were allocated to being lazy and having a vivid imagination.

"Why did you two come to Ring together?" Riki asked, somewhat surprised.

"I just went to the Recording Studio to record some songs, and on my way back I passed by Ring and thought I'd stop by," Toyokawa Sakiko said with a smile. "And I have something else to discuss with Riki."

"What?"

"Miaomeng and Mana will be staying with us for the next few weeks. Mana's house burned down, and she ended up in the hospital. She has nowhere to stay during this time," Toyokawa Sakiko sighed.

Sakiko, did you casually mention something terrible?

"Mana alright?" Riki asked immediately.

Chapter 244 Mana, so you also have a time-travel experience?

General Tokyo Hospital.

With a heavy heart, Riki walked to the hospital entrance. After a slight hesitation, she gritted her teeth and went inside, asking the nurse at the front desk which floor the victims of the Meguro Ward apartment fire were on.

"Who are you?" the nurse asked.

Why are nurses in Tokyo so aggressive?

No, it seems I'm overthinking it.

"I am Miss Junta's father's chosen fiancé," Riki said.

The nurse was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Since Dad has made up his mind, will you marry Miss Junta or her father?"

Female nurse, mind your own business.

Would anyone want to marry the Yasuo?

If you keep doing this, I'm going to ask you about your night shift too.

Seeing Riki's questioning look at her professionalism, the nurse gave an awkward smile, "It's on the third floor. Just turn left after taking the elevator, and you'll see it."

Girls are all very curious.

The nurse noticed with curiosity that Riki wasn't carrying flowers for visiting patients, but rather a box of desserts, which looked like those popular donuts that are so hard to get these days. "He's definitely a boyfriend," she thought, "He really cares about his girlfriend."

I heard that Ms. Junta is an idol, what a pity...

Riki walked to the door of the ward, stood still, and after carefully considering the words in her mind, opened the door.

No matter what happens to Mana, he will always be by her side.

"Ah..."

In the hospital room, Sumiida Mana sat on the bed, munching on a donut. She froze when she noticed the door open, but relaxed when she saw Riki. A little embarrassed, she hid the donut and smiled, "Riki, you're here?"

No way, how come you're so energetic?!

You came out of the apartment after beating up the fire, didn't you?

Riki walked over and sat down, saying, "I heard from Sakiko that you weren't seriously injured in the fire, and I thought she was just trying to comfort me, but it turns out you..."

Riki hesitated, then said, "Don't tell me you're alright, you've been showing off your donuts like crazy in the hospital room!"

"No, no, it wasn't a fire in my room, but rather the old lady next door whose appliances caught fire due to their age. The smoke came out really quickly," Sumiida Mana said hurriedly. "I immediately ran next door to try and rescue her, only to find that she had gone out and was arguing with an old lady from Osaka in the apartment across the street."

That appliance definitely wasn't made in China!

"Is the old lady next door a local?" Riki asked.

"How did Riki know?!" Sumiida Mana exclaimed in surprise, her beautiful eyes widening. Could Riki read minds?

Is there even a question? Classic Tokyo dislike all other Japanese cities, and then Osaka and Kyoto also dislike Tokyo.

Mana, please don't look at me with such adoration.

People will think you're overdoing it.

After we spend the night at my place, if you look at me with flushed cheeks and adoration, that's about right.

"Go on," Riki said.

"Oh, okay. Then, because the fire spread so quickly, I shouted for the other residents to leave immediately. Then, remembering that I hadn't taken some things from my room, I quickly ran out of the apartment," said Sumiida Mana.

Looking at Mana's bandaged forehead, Riki asked curiously, "From what you've said, you should be fine. How did you get a wound on your forehead?"

Sumiida Mana fell silent, blushing and lowering her head. After a while, she said, "When we were brought to the hospital for checkups this morning, I tripped in the bathroom and hit my forehead... I'm the only injured person in this fire."

Disaster always comes one step behind you.

But I will catch you eventually.

"Don't laugh!" Sumiida Mana covered her forehead, looking at Riki's barely concealed face, and said in embarrassment and annoyance, "The nurses in the hospital are all secretly calling me 'the idol who accidentally fell down'."

No wonder the nurse at the front desk looked so disappointed.

"Is the injury serious?" Riki asked.

"It's just a scratch, the doctors at the hospital are worried about public opinion, that's why they bandaged it so tightly," Sumiida Mana sighed. "But I can't stay in the apartment anymore, if possible, could I stay at that place..."

Mana looked a little awkward.

Say it.

Riki sat upright, looking at her tenderly and giving her courage.

"Never mind, it's fine." Sumiida Mana sighed again, deciding to find a hotel herself, even though it would be much more expensive.

No, please.

Mana, where's your courage?!

Riki said, "Sakiko told me that you can stay at my house for the next few weeks, since there are still empty rooms."

"All right."

She definitely wouldn't have stayed at Riki if she were alone, but since Miao Meng, who wasn't Riki's Girlfriend either, was also staying with her, she accepted.

"Then I'll have one more check-up later. If everything's okay, I can be discharged," Sumiida Mana said with a light laugh. She noticed Riki looking at her strangely and asked, "What's wrong?"

Riki pondered, "Mana, although there are no problems for now, I'm worried that the fire might have lasting effects on you, so I'd like you to wear a health watch too. I'm here to spy on... no, to check on your physical condition?"

This cyber chastity belt, how can it be worn by only me?

Sumiida Mana blushed and stammered, "Eh, but, this..."

"This is for your health, Mana shouldn't be thinking anything of it, right?" Riki said with pure eyes.

Reversing the Heavenly Gang!

Sumiida Mana thought Riki's suggestion was fine, and since Riki had already agreed, wouldn't it make her seem hypocritical if she didn't?

From a young age, her parents taught her to have consistent standards in life, both towards others and towards herself, and to be a righteous and pure girl.

Sumiida Mana's face flushed, and she trembled as she reached out her hand, saying, "Okay, okay..."

Mana, you're making it sound like I'm forcing you to do something perverted.

To clarify, only goblins would do this to a saint.

Monster hunters like us only focus on honing our skills.

"Mana, I haven't bought a health watch yet, don't rush me," Riki said.

"Ah... I, I wasn't in a hurry!" Sumiida Mana said hastily, her face flushed.

See, you're in a hurry again.

Sumiida Mana pouted and stopped talking to Riki.

"Just kidding. Everyone was worried about you when they heard you were in the hospital. Even though you were in class, you still sent me a voice message so I could play it for you when I see you," Riki said with a smile.

Sumiida Mana was taken aback, then blinked and immediately broke into a bright smile, "Really?!"

She had been hospitalized before, but when she was hospitalized, only Hatsuka and Miss Sanae would visit her, and the two of them were very busy and couldn't stop for long.

During her first year in Tokyo, Sumiida Mana's impression of the metropolis was that it was vast and lonely.

The streets were crowded and looked very lively, but in reality, everyone lived in their own world, undisturbed by each other, just like her.

But today, she has so many friends who care about her.

The world suddenly felt vibrant.

Sumiida Mana took Riki's phone and listened to the messages from Aine and the others. A smile appeared on her face, and her gaze couldn't help but fall on Riki, who was looking around the ward.

Come to think of it, it was after meeting Riki that I made so many friends...

Mujica's lounge.

Miss Sanae said helplessly, "Although it's just a small injury on her forehead, it doesn't look good on camera. Mana, you should rest for a while. A little adjustment will do for Mujica's performance."

"I'm sorry," Sumiida Mana said apologetically.

Toyokawa Sakiko quickly said, "It wasn't Mana's fault; no one could have predicted this accident."

When it comes to unexpected disasters, no one understands them better than Sakiko.

The dramatic fall from being a top-tier Celestial Dragons to a corporate slave overnight would be utterly humiliating for most people, who would be 'jumping off the market' in such a situation. The fact that Sakiko has managed to hold on until now speaks volumes about his resilience.
