Chapter 818: The Visitor
Shokuhou Misaki also had to be hospitalized due to her injuries. However, as Tokiwadai Middle School's ace, she had to receive treatment at a private Hospital within School Garden.
Not being able to go to the same Hospital as Lin Wuming left Shokuhou Misaki feeling quite resentful. But thinking about how she definitely wasn't 'beautiful' in her current state, Shokuhou Misaki ultimately accepted the reality of being in two separate Hospitals.
"Anyway, I successfully confessed, so I've already won!"
This was also the main reason Shokuhou Misaki could maintain her composure.
"Alright, alright, that's really great, Your Majesty," Hokaze Junko, who had been accompanying her in the ward for the past two days, responded perfunctorily.
To be honest, Hokaze Junko was genuinely happy for the progress in Her Majesty's relationship, but she simply couldn't stand Shokuhou Misaki's over-excitement, which always led her to repeat the same topic.
In just two short days, Hokaze Junko had heard it no less than a hundred times.
Therefore, even with her unwavering loyalty to Shokuhou Misaki, she still felt a headache coming on.
"Ahem, pour me a cup of tea, Runzi-jie," Shokuhou Misaki, of course, knew Hokaze Junko's inner thoughts.
She just couldn't help it; it truly was something to be happy about.
Moreover, besides Hokaze Junko, Shokuhou Misaki couldn't think of anyone else with whom she could share her joy.
She couldn't possibly rub it in Misaka Mikoto's and Hu Feng Toumi's faces, could she? While that would be satisfying, the risk factor would be too high.
Of course, the person Shokuhou Misaki most wanted to see was Lin Wuming himself.
Unfortunately, not only did she herself need to be hospitalized for recuperation, but Lin Wuming's side was also...
"Has Senior Wuming not woken up yet today?" Shokuhou Misaki asked, picking up her teacup.
"Yes," Hokaze Junko nodded, a hint of worry on her face, "Dolly and Ke Zhi went to the Hospital today, and according to their feedback, Senior Wuming is still in a deep sleep."
Because Her Majesty was hospitalized and couldn't go out, and Hokaze Junko also needed to stay in the ward to take care of her, they specifically arranged for members of the Shokuhou Faction to take turns going to the Hospital to inquire about Lin Wuming's recovery status.
"Deep sleep..." Shokuhou Misaki muttered, "It feels like Senior Wuming is always in a deep sleep lately."
"Sleeping Beauty?" Hokaze Junko immediately followed up, "No, for Senior Wuming... Sleeping Prince?"
"According to the fairy tale, the prince—here, a princess—needs to kiss him awake... Hmm? He's not some Sleeping Prince!" Shokuhou Misaki said, going along with the flow.
Shokuhou Misaki put down her teacup, pulled back the covers: "Runzi-jie, call the doctor. I'm getting ready to be discharged!"
"Huh? But the doctor said..."
"Don't worry," Shokuhou Misaki interrupted, "I know my own body. Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless."
"This... alright." Hokaze Junko hesitated, then nodded.
She did believe that Shokuhou Misaki wouldn't act recklessly, after all, it wasn't like Misaka Mikoto or Shirai Kuroko — even if she wanted to undertake dangerous actions, Her Majesty's physical strength wouldn't allow it.
"Hurry, hurry!" Shokuhou Misaki urged repeatedly, "I was careless. As expected, I can't relax yet. Just because I confessed first doesn't mean I'm close to final victory!"
One must know that Misaka Mikoto and Hu Feng Toumi were not injured, so they could personally visit Lin Wuming at the Hospital every day.
Recalling the 'Sleeping Beauty' story just now, Shokuhou Misaki truly couldn't sit still...
After three full days of sleep, Lin Wuming finally regained consciousness and woke up on the second to last day of August.
...Lin Wuming felt his consciousness gradually clearing.
—Not even a dream, what great sleep quality!
Lin Wuming couldn't help but inwardly complain. Recalling carefully, he finally got a summer vacation, but why did it feel like he spent most of his time in a Hospital bed?
Speaking of which, the main plot of the original work has just begun, right? Why does it feel like there are so many things happening? And where is that guy Kamijou Touma?
Countless thoughts flooded Lin Wuming's mind.
Amidst his random thoughts, he finally opened his eyes.
It was daytime, and the sun was bright outside the window, so the ward didn't feel dim at all.
Lin Wuming sighed — it was indeed a familiar ceiling. It felt even more familiar than his own bedroom ceiling. But this was certainly not something to be happy about.
"Lin Wuming, you're finally awake." A familiar voice came from beside the bed.
However, it wasn't a girl Lin Wuming knew, but Accelerator.
"How come..." Turning his head to see the pale figure sitting in the chair beside the bed, Lin Wuming couldn't help but complain, "Why is it always you I see first every time I wake up?"
"Every time?" Accelerator seemed a little confused, "You're always in the Hospital, but I don't recall visiting you much, do I?"
According to Accelerator's own memory, he had only visited once or twice, and it was always for a reason, which was why he came.
The current Accelerator wasn't completely oblivious to reading the room. He could, of course, see that the girls around Lin Wuming kept a very close eye on him, so unless there was a special circumstance, he wasn't bothered to join in the commotion.
Lin Wuming cleared his throat, skipping the topic, then used his hand to support himself on the bed and sat up.
He carefully looked at Accelerator's side, and at the ward door.
Whether he felt disappointed or relieved, this time only Accelerator came alone, and he didn't pick up another strange Misaka Sister.
"Who are you looking for?" Accelerator noticed his gaze and couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing, just wondering if anyone else came with you," Lin Wuming said.
"Final Signal," Accelerator said, "But that little brat was too noisy, so the long-haired Misaka just took her away."
—So there really was one!
Lin Wuming complained inwardly again.
It seemed that even if they didn't live together, Final Signal and Accelerator were indeed destined.
However, since no one was harmed, as long as the Misaka Sisters had no objections, Lin Wuming naturally couldn't be bothered to interfere.
Right now, the pile of issues on Lin Wuming himself was already enough to give him a headache.
Lin Wuming looked down at his hands, slowly clenched his fists, then released them.
It was like a self-check, confirming his physical condition.
Because his esper ability was suddenly gone, he always felt as if something was missing from his body, and he no longer had that feeling of 'doing as one pleases, being free and unrestrained' as before.
Thinking back carefully, this seemed to be the first time he had truly become an ordinary person since he transmigrated, right?
"Your esper ability, has it really disappeared?" Accelerator also asked, frowning.
In fact, it was to confirm this news that Accelerator specifically came to the Hospital to visit.
