Chapter 641: Chapter 403: Emergency Mission
Hanamaru Hanabi felt relieved when she found out that Uesugi Sakura’s illness was just a minor issue. In truth, she wanted to know more about the cause, but no matter what, Uesugi Sakura was unwilling to say it out loud.
"Sakura-kun, so strange."
"Strange is just strange," Uesugi Sakura didn’t mind, anyway, the fact that he was exhausted from dealing with little Hanabi was something he absolutely couldn’t let her know.
Speaking of which, it’s strange, such a small, cute girl like Hanabi-chan, why...
After returning to the hotel, Uesugi Sakura lay on the bed, Hanamaru Hanabi said she wanted to feed him some medicine, but there was no actual medicine, only some vitamins.
He washed them down with water and that was it.
"So, is Sakura-kun going out today? It seems like they’re planning to go to Kamakura today."
"The doctor told me to rest more," Uesugi Sakura looked at her cute little face, feeling a bit weak, she was too clingy last night.
"I see." Hanamaru Hanabi nodded, feeling a little disappointed inside.
Kyujuu Rika and a few others later came to Room 3016 to call Hanamaru Hanabi out. Kitagawa Sakisa had also brought her violin, carrying it in a black case on her back.
They said they were going to the mountain temple to play.
"Uesugi not going?"
"Sakura-kun has a little cold..."
"Was it from the wind at the beach last night?"
Hanamaru Hanabi blushed and nodded, replying softly, "Probably."
"Speaking of which, it was indeed a bit cold last night."
"Yeah, I almost caught a cold myself."
...
"Uesugi! We’ll take care of Hanabi-chan for you! Don’t worry!"
Uesugi Sakura waved to the overly happy Kitagawa Sakisa at the door in farewell.
With a click, the door closed, and Hanamaru Hanabi left with the three of them.
The TV in front of the bed flickered with images, and Uesugi Sakura watched it while resting against the pillow.
Feeling sore all over, he really didn’t want to move.
Today, let’s just be a couch potato for once.
After watching TV for a while, Uesugi Sakura yawned, planning to sleep, when he suddenly recalled an urgent task he had.
He had seen it in the morning and just swiped it open.
He originally had no intention of completing any task.
But now he was out of Recovery Medicine, and he didn’t have any points to exchange in the store.
The system’s other stuff wasn’t necessary, but this Recovery Medicine was a crucial item.
He felt that this lifesaving thing should always be stocked, just in case.
At night, he could also secretly use it once or twice to strengthen the marital bond.
Therefore, he opened the urgent task.
[Urgent Task]
[Task Description: It seems you haven’t properly showcased your romantic side since getting married. This task aims to strengthen your bond with your spouse!]
[Task Objective: Make your wife genuinely happy once]
[Task Reward: Dream Shared Solution x1, Skill Points x10]
Uesugi Sakura glanced through these lines, realizing... it’s quite nice.
The task is easy, and the reward is good...
Yeah, indeed, not bad at all.
But then, what is this Dream Shared Solution?
A Skill Card or an item?
But thinking about it now wasn’t helpful, he currently had two things to deal with.
1, Understand the backstory of the yandere Hanabi.
2, Take good care of his wife to prevent emotional issues.
As for the other Sakura-kun’s matter, both the yandere Hanabi and Hanabi didn’t want to say, and he had no way of finding out.
But maybe this item is the key to breaking the impasse?
With these thoughts, Uesugi Sakura threw off the covers and immediately prepared to go out.
...
Dressed in casual clothes to go out.
Uesugi Sakura picked up the room card and left the room, closing the door behind him. He took out his phone to call Todaka Keichiro.
[Beep... Beep...]
After a series of rings, Todaka Keichiro’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, Uesugi."
"Have you guys left yet?" Uesugi Sakura asked.
"We’re just getting ready," replied Todaka Keichiro.
"Include me, I know you brought a car."
"Huh? I saw your wife and the others leave on a bus, didn’t you go with them?"
"No, there was a bit of an issue."
"I see... then wait a bit, 5 minutes, wait for me at the hotel entrance in 5 minutes, I’ll get the car from the garage."
"Alright."
Uesugi Sakura put away his phone, walked through the corridor, and took the elevator down to the hotel lobby entrance.
Shortly after, a shiny silver LFA pulled up on the roadside.
The car window rolled down, and Todaka Keichiro extended his arm outwards, waving to Uesugi Sakura who was checking his phone:
"Here!"
Uesugi Sakura saw him, put away his phone, went over, and opened the passenger door to get in.
Gearing up, starting the car, Todaka Keichiro turned the steering wheel, repositioned the car, and began driving on the small town’s road.
Uesugi Sakura noticed Seisa Takeshun sitting in the backseat, greeted him, and then asked Todaka Keichiro who was driving:
"What’s the plan for today?"
"Huh? You don’t know?"
"I only heard they said they’re going to Kamakura."
"Then they should be visiting places like Hokoku Temple, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, or Hase Temple, I’m not entirely sure."
"Visiting shrines and temples?"
"Probably, I don’t really know how they arranged it, they rented a bus, the student council presidents from the two schools are leading the way, anyone who wants to go just follows along."
Uesugi Sakura had always been curious about this joint outing.
"Anyone got together?"
"Yeah! Of course, there are at least 5 new couples, as for whether it’ll last, I don’t know."
Uesugi Sakura looked at him, "Why do you sound so bitter?"
"Not bitter at all."
