This sacred plum is indeed large, chewy, and has a great flavor. It's not prickly to eat and doesn't leave any crumbs. It's definitely something special. Our group's priest couldn't resist eating it.
However, Koshimura Sawa no longer had the strength to lift his arm and just wanted to sleep a little longer.
Just as he was about to close his eyes, a large amount of text suddenly appeared in front of him.
Name: Koshimura Sawa
【Sex: Male】
[Race; Variant Human]
【Occupation: Evil Sorcerer (Spellcaster) lv.4↑】
【力量：10(+0) 敏捷：14（+2） 体质：14（+2） 智力：13（+1） 感知：10（+0） 魅力：18（+4）】
[Specialty: Targeted Contact with Species (Silver Light Sharp Words)]
[Fel Spell: Painful Arcane Explosion, Demon's Vision]
[Magic Items: Wah-wah Effect, Broken Kiss of Time]
【Magic Pact: Blade Magic Pact】
[Known Spells]
[Trick: Magic Explosion, Thunder Sword]
[First Ring: Vulnerability Curse, Shield, Silver Whisper, Blazing Slash]
[Second Ring: Mysterious Step, Shadow Blade]
[Connected beacon: Toyokawa Shoko (102%)]
[Legendary quote: "I will never let go of your hand"]
"Because you have willingly given everything for her, her remaining life will be inextricably linked with yours, never to be separated."
[Thanks to your experience fighting with dual blades in the rainy night, you acquire the feat "Dual Wielder"]
[Dual-holder]
You are proficient in dual-wielding weapons and have gained the following buffs:
Your Strength or Dexterity increases by 1, up to a maximum of 20.
When you wield a weapon in each hand, you gain a +1 AC bonus.
The one-handed melee weapon you use when dual-wielding combat does not need to have the light weapon attribute.
[When you perform an attack action during your turn and launch an attack with a weapon that has the Light attribute, you can launch an additional attack in the same turn as a bonus action. This additional attack must be launched with another melee weapon that does not have the Two-Handed attribute.]
You can now draw or sheath two one-handed weapons simultaneously, whereas normally you can only draw or sheath one weapon at a time.
What a good thing.
Koshimura's eyes lit up immediately.
The biggest improvement from level 3 to level 4 is either an increase in attribute value or the selection of a new feat. Now, it's like doubling the boost.
Since that's the case, there's no need to agonize over whether to choose a specialization or add attributes. Just go for the simple and straightforward +2 Charisma, and this character is considered leveled up.
As for the newly added known trick and known spell, there's no need to even think about it; just choose [Hand of the Mage] and [Mirror Image].
Although both [Mirror Image] and [Blur] from the Cursed Sword subclass expansion are spells that enhance survivability, [Mirror Image] is clearly more suitable for high-level games.
Moreover, unlike obscuring techniques, it is not subject to the constraints of blindness and real vision.
After adding points, Yuecunze's gaze swept across the panel, finally settling on [The Kiss of Broken Years].
Current progress: 1%
He couldn't help but look at Toyokawa Shoko on the hospital bed again.
The girl's sleeping profile looked exceptionally soft under the warm light, and a few strands of blue hair were scattered on the pillow, softening her usual stubbornness.
While Yuecun Ze was still immersed in the tranquil atmosphere, he suddenly noticed a flush appear on her face, her brows furrow slightly, and her body twisting unnaturally.
"Ze, don't lick it... That's a dirty place, and it gets wet..."
???
Toyokawa Shoko, what kind of dream are you having?
What an unchaste woman!
"Ze, stop licking the toilet bowl, you shouldn't lick that..."
Koshimura took a deep breath and raised his hand to cover his forehead.
"Ze Jun?" Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from behind him, "...You've been staring at Xiao Xiang ever since just now."
He stiffly moved his hand away and turned to look behind him.
Inside the ward, the blue isolation curtain that had always been drawn was suddenly opened.
Nagasaki Motoyo leaned against the headboard of the hospital bed, covered with a clean white blanket, a gentle smile on her face, her big blue eyes staring at him without blinking.
Wait, so this is a three-person ward?
Koshimura suddenly understood.
Why does Maruki Takuto always have that tense, yet not tense expression on his face?
Why does he make so many exaggerated movements?
That's because he was deliberately guiding himself, preventing himself from looking at the other side of the ward!
That's despicable, Maruki Takuto, you actually schemed against me!
"It seems a lot has happened since Xiao Xiang left," Nagasaki Motoyo said in a sickeningly sweet voice. "Can you tell me about it?"
"Xiao Xiang knocked me unconscious with a 'bang,' and my whole body ached. I lay in the rain for a long time..."
The girl's voice carried a hint of grievance and resentment.
“Um, this—” Koshimura Sawa tried to organize his thoughts.
"Furthermore, I'm also very curious about what exactly happened... to make Xiao Xiang say such a thing?"
Nagasaki Motoyo's smile grew even brighter.
"Wait, let me explain... no, let me explain—" Koshimura felt his brain racing.
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Nagasaki Motoyo sit up, lift the blanket, and walk barefoot to his bedside wearing only a thin hospital gown.
“Sawa-kun seems troubled.” Nagasaki Motoyo put her hands behind her back and looked at him with a smile. “But it’s okay.”
The next second, to Koshimura's astonished gaze, Nagasaki Motoyo very naturally lifted his blanket and crawled inside.
Her soft body carried a unique fragrance that instantly overpowered the smell of hospital disinfectant, filling the entire bed. The girl's slightly elevated body temperature was transmitted through the thin hospital gown.
“Like this…” Nagasaki Motoyo found a comfortable position to lie down next to him, adjusted the pillow, and made her face almost touching Koshimura Sawa’s face, her warm breath brushing against his ear.
She raised her head, her blue eyes appearing exceptionally clear at close range. Looking at Yuecunze's blank face, the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.
"...Then we can talk slowly."
The nurse pushing the trolley had just stopped outside the door and raised her hand to knock when she saw this scene through the round glass window in the door.
She stood there, lost in thought for a long time.
He turned and left, as if he had made up his mind.
Chapter Two: We're Rehearsing
"I see..." Nagasaki Motoyo listened quietly and nodded thoughtfully.
"You've worked so hard, Ze-jun." Her voice regained its usual gentleness, and her eyes softened. "You've done so much for Xiao-xiang..."
"...Now that you mention it, I feel a little embarrassed." Yuecun Ze pursed his lips, somewhat guiltily avoiding her gaze. "Actually, I don't think I did anything special, just killed two people and blew up a bridge..."
"You've done something so amazing, why are you still being modest?" Nagasaki Motoyo chuckled and buried her head in his chest.
"In my opinion, Ze-jun is the best in the world, so don't underestimate yourself."
No, this is just too cute! This first release is irresistible!
Please fix this with a vertical grip; am I supposed to dry press it without any accessories?
“So…” Nagasaki Motoyo looked up at him, “Has Ze-kun found a way to save Xiaoxiang now?”
"I guess so..." Koshimura took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, "But I still don't understand how this thing works. It seems to require some kind of energy to fill it..."
“It’s alright. As long as we find a way, it means there’s a path to take. I believe Ze-kun can definitely solve it.” Nagasaki Motoyo smiled.
"So... I've finished speaking, can you go down now?" Koshimura hesitated for a moment before saying, "It seems... a bit hot here."
Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly stopped talking.
A few seconds later, Koshimura noticed that the girl's ear tips were turning red at a visible speed, and the redness was spreading down to her fair neck.
"Wait, are you shy?" he blurted out instinctively.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the body in his arms begin to tremble slightly, burying its head in his chest.
Wait, is your reaction time that slow?! You're only realizing it now?
I thought you were at least 3000 points because you were so aggressive just now, but it turns out you're just a high-attack, low-defense player, Su-jie.
Little Chu girl is really not good enough, she still needs to practice.
"Um... I, I'll be right down!" Nagasaki Motoyo hurriedly raised her head and frantically pulled back the covers.
Just then, a rustling sound of blankets rubbing against each other came from the hospital bed next to me.
“Ze…”
Before Koshimura could react, he saw Nagasaki Motoyo's body suddenly stiffen, and with astonishing speed and a panicked expression, she scurried back into his bed, pulled the blanket over her head, and curled up into a small ball, clinging tightly to his side.
Wait a minute, wouldn't this just make the misunderstanding even bigger?
Nagasaki Motoyo, is there something wrong with your play this time?
Koshimura had no choice but to bite the bullet and turn around to look at Toyokawa Shoko behind him.
She had already opened her eyes and was looking around blankly.
"Xiangzi, you're awake?" Yuecunze tried to keep his voice calm.
Upon hearing the sound, Toyokawa Shoko raised her hand and rubbed her sleepy eyes, only to discover that she had an indwelling needle stuck in her hand.
"This is..." Her voice was a little hoarse from just waking up.
"Have you forgotten? We seemed to have passed out on the bridge, and then the ambulance took us to the hospital."
"I see..." Toyokawa Shoko immediately turned her head, looking at Koshimura Sawa with some concern, "Then... Sawa, your health..."
"Ah, don't worry, apart from being a little depleted in magic, I'm fine now," said Koshimura. "You too, it's best not to cast any more spells for the next few days and get some rest."
“No, that’s not what I meant.” Toyokawa Shoko shook her head gently. “Sawa, why do you look so pale? And…”
Her gaze shifted, landing on his pale face and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead: "Why are you sweating so much? Are you feeling unwell?"
Koshimura's expression froze instantly, and he subconsciously twisted his body.
This movement had no effect; inside the blankets, it felt as if two soft things were pressed tightly against his body.
Such intense pressure.
How could you charge someone with the ball? Nagasaki player, give me a red card and send me off!
"What's wrong? Why aren't you talking?"
Toyokawa Shoko's worry deepened. Without hesitation, she rolled out of bed, pushed the metal stand holding the IV drip, and moved to Koshimura Sawa's bedside in a few steps.
"Is something wrong? Do you need me to call a doctor for you?"
Koshimura Sawa quickly reached out and covered the blanket tightly: "Ah, no, it's just that I'm—uh, it's too hot...yes, it's just that it's too hot that I'm sweating so much."
Toyokawa Shoko looked suspiciously at his unusually bulging blanket, her golden eyes narrowing instantly, a dangerous glint flashing in them.
"Ze... what's under the blanket?" Her voice lowered.
"Huh? A blanket?" Koshimura chuckled awkwardly, pressing his hand down even tighter. "There's nothing there... haha..."
