"See you tomorrow, Yuki."
"See you soon, Rika."
Rika kissed my left cheek and walked out of the room.
I just smiled at Rika's behavior.
After Rika's declaration of love that surprised me a while ago, we are officially in a relationship.
I just didn't expect Rika to confess her love to me right after I woke up.
"Hehehe, I finally got a girlfriend. And my girlfriend is the most beautiful woman. Never once in my wildest dreams would I have a girlfriend as beautiful as Rika."
[Stop your stupid smile, Master. You are unsightly.]
Whenever I feel happy feelings, there are always people who spoil it.
"What exactly happened to you, Karen?"
I'm really confused by Karen's behavior since earlier.
[Hmph, nothing.]
"If you want to lie to me, don't say 'hmph' when you speak. Are you a tsundere?"
[Who are you calling a tsundere?]
I'm sure Karen knows about Tsundere, it's stuck in my memory. Who doesn't know tsundere in this country?
'Wait? Tsundere? Do not tell?'
"Wait, Karen, d-don't tell me you're jealous?"
[W-who is jealous? A-A-and why should I be jealous? ]
"...."
Clear, very clear. These are the signs of a tsundere that I saw in the anime.
'WHAT THE HELL!!TSUNDERE SYSTEM? how can the system be a tsundere and jealous? And, wasn't it Karen who forced me enough to make Rika my girlfriend? Shit, I don't understand anymore.'
[I-I told you I'm not a tsundere, and I'm not lying.]
"How can I believe if you stammer like that." -_-
[Ahem, well, Master, don't you want an explanation about your mission reward then?]
"Good, good, smooth shift of topic, very good, Karen. Sure, I'll join your game."
[Are you still sick, Master?]
"...."
"You can tell me about the reward now. To be honest, I forgot that there was a reward on the mission. At that time I was focused on the punishment."
[Are you a masochist, Master? why do you pay attention to the Punishment compared to the Reward. ]
"Damn it, you're making fun of me. I paid attention to the Punishment, Because the mission's punishment is so crazy. The mission's punishment is impotence. Any male would be afraid of becoming impotence."
[Good thing, I thought you were a masochist. If you are a masochist, even this system cannot help you. ]
"... Please begin the explanation, Karen."
[Your mission reward is Brain performance boost. With an increase in the performance of your brain, now, you can learn something quickly and you will also understand something quickly, and your memory will also improve.]
"I see. That's a good reward. See, it's not hard to give me a Reward? Instead of giving me a punishment. Is the Reward already active? "
[Sure, you should be able to feel it already.]
"Well actually I don't feel that way. But never mind, I want to sleep again now. My body is still weak and needs rest."
I lay down my body, and get ready to sleep. When I closed my eyes, I immediately opened my eyes again.
I forgot something very important.
"Karen."
[Yes, Master. ]
"Please answer me honestly, is the mission coming out tomorrow? No right? It can't be coming out right?"
[I cannot answer your question, Master.]
"Y-you're crazy, Karen. Do you want me to complete the mission while I'm sick?]
[I cannot answer your question, Master.]
" Huft.. This is not good... I can only pray that the mission doesn't appear tomorrow. I'd better sleep now."
-----
The next day
When I wake up from my sleep, and wait a while, I feel relieved and happy.
Because, the mission board doesn't show up.
That's very good. Because, if this mission appears now, I might have to sneak out of the hospital.
After a while, the doctor and nurse appeared to check on my condition.
The doctor asked me several things, 'do I feel pain after I wake up?', and etc.
I also asked about the 2 stab wounds that I received, and the doctor said, the wounds had dried up, but the doctor suggested not doing strenuous activities for a few days or even 1 week, so that the wounds would completely heal.
After checking was complete, and there was nothing wrong with my condition, the two of them left the room.
Not long after that, a nurse came in pushing a cart of food and medicine at me.
The nurse explained to me about these medicines and I nodded my head.
I ate the food, and, yes, it didn't taste good. I ate porridge, because according to the nurse, my body hasn't eaten for a long time, so it needs to eat soft foods first.
but, as the rumors say, that hospital food is not good. Maybe because they really keep the food really healthy? So don't use too many spices.
After finishing eating, and taking medicine, there's nothing else I can do.
Fortunately, this room has a television that can dispel my boredom a bit.
My girlfriend or Rika seems to be rich people, because this room really looks expensive.
There's only me in this room, no one else but me. There are no other hospital beds, other than the one I'm currently using. So, this room is exclusively for myself.
Usually, when you are hospitalized, you will share a room with other patients.
Several hours have passed, and I still feel bored. There are no exciting television shows. And, I also chatted with Karen several times to kill my boredom.
At times like this, I want to have a cell phone. There are lots of things I could do if I had a cell phone.
I can send messages to Rika, or play games.
But, too bad, because I'm poor, I don't even have a cell phone.
'My poor life. ' I thought.
[It's best if, after you leave the hospital, you learn fighting techniques or martial arts. With the abilities you have, you will be able to quickly absorb the lesson, it will be very useful for you. As a man, you have to be strong in order to protect women. So, you won't be hurt anymore like now.]
"If there wasn't a mission, I wouldn't have ended up like this."
[..... ]
[Aren't you ruthless, Master? I'm here to give you advice, and you say it like that. I hate you, Master.]
"I'm sorry, Karen. Look, I'm grateful that the mission came about. I was able to meet Rika, and now we're a couple."
[Hmph, wrong way of coaxing. You are instead telling other women in front of me.]
My lips are twitching, this system really sucks.
Isn't Karen just a system? I thought Karen was a woman because the voice this system uses is a woman's voice? Damn, women really are elusive.
"I'm sorry, Karen. How can you forgive me?"
[Thank me. ]
"What?"
[Not that you should be thanking me, because you were able to meet your lover.]
*sigh*
I sighed, I didn't want to argue anymore, so I'll say what she wants. Of course, I would also thank Karen, because like Karen said, because of this mission, I was able to meet Rika.
However, being forced to say Thank you feels weird, than me saying it without being forced.
"Thank you Karen. I'm really lucky to have you." I said with a smile.
[Good, good, you finally understand that you are the luckiest human to have me, Master.]
"..... "
[It feels good to be praised by master.]
"I can hear your whisper, Karen. I can hear it."
[What did you say? Ahem, what do you mean Master? You must have heard wrong.]
"Yeah, yeah, I think I heard wrong."
After chatting for a while more with Karen, I decided to sleep.
