Due to the stunt, he pulled in his match against Sana Majima, Hikaru was now bedridden upon the day of his return. "Ouch, ouch, ouch! It hurts so much!!! I can't believe there's a recoil god damn it!"
(What did you expect you told me to fully enhance your physical strength without focusing on your durability. You're a man of logic, I thought you of all people will understand strength requires the same level of durability. You're lucky that your arm wasn't torn and only a break a bone or two. I'd say this is the greatest result you've ever achieved)
'That's still a problem you know? I'll have a hard time moving my arm. Out of all the arms, I chose it's the right one. I mostly use that for everything, even writing and some nightly activities,'
(Don't sweat the small stuff. At the very least you wouldn't need those medical staff to implant some metal screws... Now that you have a little hint of Divine aura you can already feel it, right? You haven't been injected with any sort of anesthetic and yet the pain doesn't feel severe, am I correct?)
"You're right I should've been writhing in pain~ Waaaah!!! Karin? What the fuck are you doing here?" Before he could finish his words, Hikaru was stunned when he saw the spoiled young lady rise beneath his hospital bed
She gave a perplexed look and sighed after she sees that his condition was nowhere near urgent. "I've heard you only fractured your arm after your fight with the princess. Maybe the pain you've suffered was more than your brain could handle. You're delusional so you might as well think im just one of your imaginations,"
It's nice that Hikaru manages to escape such a hellish start, but Karin's arrival cracked him the most in this scenario. "What are you doing here? I thought you have nothing to say to me. Wait don't tell me, Sana asked you to do this, btw how is she?"
Though he chose the right words, he notices something odd about her behavior. Karin seems pissed and pouts her cheeks before uttering. "She's fine! Why do you want to hear about her condition? You're the one who placed such a maiden in that sorry state... In any case, I came here for a different reason. Do you mind if I take a seat?"
Hikaru nodded and she took a seat on his bed whilst he felt uncomfortable upon realizing the presence of her guard. "You sure have a lot of people guarding the entrance to my room. Am I going to die? Is that it? You're going to silence me,"
"Don't mistake me for a murderer!! What do I even gain by killing you? Don't forget your talking to the daughter of the Hashimoto group. One of Japan's most elite companies that everyone wishes to apply for," Even though this game became a reality, his attitude towards her never changed
'Now listen here you bitc~ Calm down, Hikaru. Remember we need to display a level-headed attitude. Lashing out at her wouldn't change anything, on the most part I need to act nice I didn't finish her story. I only got to the part where I could increase her love gauge when I beat Sana. Since she acts like a bitc~ ahem she acts feisty I didn't bother continuing her story,'
Once she finally calms herself, Karin mustered up the courage before she lashes and ruins his mood. "T-The truth is I uh... I want to ask you if you want to~"
Before she could finish her words, a large commotion came about at the entrance and there Kaoru arrive along with Sana. "Oi, Hikaru Aoi. I recently woke up about an hour ago. Higaki told me that you broke your arm, I wanted to see if you're fine~"
"Become my servant, Hikaru Aoi!!!" Karin wholeheartedly screamed at the top of her lungs
Before she gets an answer her body was pulled and met with Sana's ferocious gaze. "The heck are you doing Hashimoto? I've heard that you hate him!? D-Dont, tell me... Hikaru, you don't have any money to pay for the hospital fee? Is that what this is all about? You can just ask Higaki, you don't need to accept her proposal,"
(Well this is a nightmare. Is this the worst-case scenario you're looking out for? If this continues you'll gain some internal conflict even before they fell for you)
"Why would I hurt him? If it angers my princess then I wouldn't do such a thing in my entire life. You see... I uh actually have a reason for hiring him and I was about to explain, am I right Hikaru? Where is he?" The two remain silent upon seeing his empty bed and the 2nd floors window open and a letter in his stead
Sana picked up the note and began uttering. "If you guys are reading this then I got tired of your constant whining. I'll be taking my leave first. Just tell Kaoru to pay the medical bills and I'll do him a favor. They say I have a fractured bone but the doc's just exaggerating. See ya,"

'I wonder if those two are searching for me...? Well, I didn't leave because I got irritated by their company, it's the opposite. I really, really, really, really, really, miss my luxurious 5-star hospital treatment!!! But I have to do this no questions asked. It's my decision so I have to steel myself,'
Right now, Hikaru was at a nearby park being persuaded by the cleaners to stop with his assistance. "Please just hand the broom! How can we let an injured lad help us with this taxing job!!?"
Hikaru was persistent and unmoved by their words and said. "Don't worry about my hand. I just sprained it after I fell. It'll heal for a couple of weeks or so. Just let me help you. It's our park, so we the citizens must keep it clean so we wouldn't lose face,"
Don't misinterpret, Hikaru was far from a Saint and near the embodiment of greed. He wouldn't bat an eye if someone was struggling before his eyes and ignored them like anyone else. It's nowhere near his sense of empathy and more or less his need to fulfill his side of the deal
'Divine aura can be pretty cool, but what I have to give in turn is my utmost time and dedication to answer their wish. One of the prayers in the sheets we took from the shrine asked that someone will help them clean this park. Anything that I can handle well is handled by myself and things far from my power are answered by Fazriel,'
(Few of the prayer sheets we collected requested some manual labor or a helping hand. Some wished for their loved ones to be saved from cancer, while others wish to pass their first choice of university. You wouldn't believe that 40% of the sheets we collected asked for good luck in their love life)
'Man... Those guys are sure as hell desperate for love and here I am trying to avoid what many people wish. Talk about irony. It's a great thing they gave me a sling and I manage to escape in time. There are only a few chores I have, and before I knew it, the pain in my arm had entirely disappeared,'
Without the presence of the horrific sting on his arm, Hikaru's movements were deeply enhanced and he easily cleared his side. "Total concentration breathing. Breath of the broom, First form Horizontal sweep~ An explosion!!? This is a park of all places what the hell's happening?"
Hikaru quickly rushed to the side of the park where he saw a mountain of leaves and then a girl popped out at its peak. "Arrrghhhh!!! Why is it another failure? I surely checked its powerful suction and double-check the wiring~ Ahhh!!!"
One slip-up and the girl would meet with a devastating fall but her fate was easily changed by his arrival. "Careful there, you might hurt yourself. Seriously why the heck did you lash out at such a dangerous situation? I can't believe you're gullible in this day and age~"
