Chapter 396: Doctor, I Need a Fever-Reducing Injection
Should we lure Hachiman out first?
As everyone contemplated Komachi's plan, they found themselves deep in thought.
It was Sonoko, Hachiman's trusted editor, who came up with an idea first.
"Hachiman recently mentioned to me about starting a new book. How about I use discussing the new book as an excuse and call him to the Kadokawa office early tomorrow morning?"
However, Utaha raised an objection, "I'm afraid that won't work. Knowing Hachiman, if he's planning to start a new book, he must have made thorough preparations. The plot, outline, and maybe even the first volume might already be completed."
Upon hearing Utaha's words, Sonoko fell silent. After careful consideration, it made sense. They had known Hachiman for so long, and he never did anything without certainty.
At this point, Yui suggested her idea, "How about I take Hikki out to hang out tomorrow and try to keep him from coming home early?"
Yumiko rolled her eyes in response, "Him? Will he really spend the whole day with you? I bet he'll want to come back halfway through."
Yui sent a sweating emoji and fell silent.
Then, Saeko spoke up, "Let me be the one to lure Hachiman out. I won't need anyone else's help."
Erina chimed in, "Saeko-neesan, tell us who you need, and we won't refuse."
The other girls agreed one after another.
After a moment of consideration, Saeko listed her assistance, "Tomorrow, I'll have Kotonoha, Utaha, and Alice help me keep Hachiman occupied."
The girls she mentioned naturally didn't refuse.
Seeing the personnel settled, Komachi made the final arrangements, "Alright, so tomorrow, Saeko-neechan and her team will keep Onii-chan occupied, and the rest of you brothers and sisters will help me decorate the room."
With the personnel assigned, everyone began discussing how to organize the birthday party in the group chat.
Of course, birthday gifts were a must, but what to give was up to the girls themselves.
As for the birthday cake, Erina said she could handle it. There was someone in the current Totsuki who specialized in desserts, so she would ask that person to make a cake.
Regarding the dishes needed for the birthday party, the girls naturally handled it themselves; they wouldn't let outsiders interfere.
With Erina as the head chef, Hisako, Yukino, Vignette, and a few other girls skilled in cooking assisted.
With everything decided, everyone logged off one after another. They still needed to choose the gifts to give to Hachiman.
As for Hachiman himself, he was still in his room writing, completely unaware of what would happen tomorrow.
...
Time flew by, and soon it was the next morning.
After breakfast, Hachiman left the house.
He had received a call from Saeko last night, saying there was something to discuss with him this morning, so he was now heading to meet the girl.
Once Hachiman left home, the girls received a notification from Komachi and gathered at Hachiman's house.
Seeing the eager boys and girls in front of her holding various decorations, Komachi's face broke into a smile.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's get started with the decorations now. We want to make Onii-chan's birthday unforgettable."
"Okay!"
Everyone responded eagerly and began to take action.
Meanwhile, over at Hachiman's side, as he arrived at the agreed meeting point near the station, he saw Saeko sitting on a bench.
Apologizing with a smile for making her wait, Hachiman said, "Sorry for keeping you waiting, Saeko."
"It's okay, I just got here too," Saeko replied, lightly shaking her head.
"Oh, by the way, Saeko, did you have something to talk to me about today?" Hachiman asked.
Upon hearing this, Saeko's eyes flickered for a moment, and a faint blush appeared on her face, but she stuck to the plan.
"This isn't the place to talk. Hachiman, come with me first," she said, taking Hachiman's hand and leading him in a certain direction.
With Saeko's soft hand in his, Hachiman allowed the girl to lead him, trusting that she wouldn't harm him.
Soon, the two arrived at their final destination.
However, looking at the building in front of him, Hachiman was filled with question marks.
Because in front of him was a love hotel.
???
What's going on?
Could it be that Saeko got tired of staying at home and wanted a change of scenery?
Before Hachiman could ask, the girl directly pulled him inside.
The owner, a middle-aged woman in her forties, looked at the two holding hands as they walked in, with a knowing expression on her face. However, upon closer inspection of Saeko's face, the owner's expression turned to surprise.
Beautiful girls like Saeko were rare, so the owner was naturally impressed. In her memory, Saeko had just left the hotel, and after recalling the scene she had seen earlier, the owner seemed to realize something. She looked at Hachiman with a look of admiration.
Nodding towards the owner, Saeko then pulled a bewildered Hachiman into the hotel.
At the door of a room, Hachiman finally voiced his confusion.
"Saeko, what's going on here?"
"Once you open the room, Hachiman, you'll see that there's a surprise waiting for you inside," Saeko said mysteriously with a smile.
Filled with curiosity, Hachiman opened the door.
However, the scene inside the room made him feel like he had stepped into a small clinic.
As is well known, Japan love hotels offer themed rooms, including classroom themes, hospital themes, prison themes... even haunted house themes.
This was clearly a room with a hospital theme.
Operating table, hospital bed, IV stand, medicine cabinet – everything was there, and there was even a faint smell of disinfectant in the air.
This made Hachiman admire the owner's professionalism.
But what surprised him even more was what happened next. As he entered the room, the dividing curtains between the beds were pulled aside, and three graceful figures emerged.
It was Kotonoha, Utaha, and Alice, all dressed in nurse uniforms.
Seeing this scene, Hachiman was stunned. He never expected to find so many people in the room, let alone all wearing nurse uniforms.
He thought it was just Saeko alone.
But the sight before him was simply stunning, with black stockings, white stockings, and bare feet all present.
The three girls' delicate faces, combined with their nurse uniforms, stirred a fire within Hachiman's heart.
Just then, Saeko also changed into her uniform and walked over, wearing a patient gown.
Despite the dark-toned patient gown, Saeko's charm still couldn't be concealed.
She walked gracefully to Hachiman's side, wearing a seductive smile on her face.
"Doctor, I seem to have a fever. I need you to help me with a fever-reducing injection," she said.
Upon hearing this, Hachiman could no longer hold back. He swept the girl into his arms, and with a roar, he pounced on her.
Though the other three girls were a bit shy, they followed the plan and joined in.
Before long, the room was filled with the sound of passionate springtime melodies.
