Chapter 186 Shura Field 4
This day.
The birds outside the ward window were singing briskly, singing a vibrant and moving song. The leaves were sprouting new green buds, and the sunlight jumped into the room through the leaves and fell on the face of the girl on the hospital bed.
The girl's black hair was like a waterfall, full of luster, and her once pale face had regained its rich rosy color. She was more beautiful than ever and exuded a fresh vitality.
The girl's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her beautiful blue eyes that were as bright as gemstones.
…
It feels so good to breathe.
Kurikawa Sana opened her eyes wide, sat up suddenly in bed in disbelief, and raised her hands to cover her chest.
Is this an illusion?!
Since she was very young, no, it should be said that since she was born and had consciousness and memory, she had never felt so comfortable... No longer did every breath feel like a knife cutting back and forth in her chest, and her fingertips and limbs no longer felt numb due to lack of blood circulation.
So refreshing.
Kurikawa Sana turned her head and looked at the heart rate monitor beside her. The number on it showed that it was beating between 66 and 69.
Her resting heart rate is very standard for a woman of her age, and can be considered an excellent heart rate.
Kurikawa Sana suddenly opened her eyes wide.
So, was everything really not just a dream? ...
The system is real! All the promises made by the system were fulfilled - after completing the strategy of the three worlds, she really recovered in the real world!
Oh right, speaking of strategies...
Kurikawa Sana couldn't help but stand there in a daze.
Her last memory stayed at the end of the tennis world. She said her final goodbye to everyone while smiling and crying.
Now that she's recovered as she wished, it means that everyone in the tennis world, like everyone in the volleyball and basketball worlds before her, has reached a perfect 100% favorable impression of her...
But she would never see them again, and couldn't even say thank you to them in person.
Kurikawa Sana felt her eyes suddenly sore and her vision became blurred.
"System..." she called softly, "System, are you still there?"
No response.
She was alone in the empty ward.
Kurikawa Sana's nose felt even more sour. The system stopped responding. Had it disappeared after completing the mission?
But why? Why would such a system be created solely to help her?
Did her three strategy-clearing journeys really exist and happen? Or were both the system and the strategy-clearing journeys just a dream?
Kurikawa Sana couldn't understand.
The only thing I could feel was the powerful beating of my heart in my chest.
Plop, plop, plop...
Each stroke seemed filled with surging emotions and love, working hard for her body.
“………”
After staring at the sunlight outside the window for a while, Kurikawa Sana finally came to her senses, got up, went downstairs and walked out.
…
*
The body's movements are also quite powerful, no longer sore and weak, and the feeling of every muscle and bone being controlled by oneself at will is really wonderful.
After walking for a very long time, her heart showed no sign of crying out in grief. Kurikawa Sana became more and more excited and tried to jog in the sunshine.
…Running is also possible!
The increase in heart rate caused by exercise is not accompanied by sharp pain in the heart, but the secretion of dopamine by the cerebral cortex, which brings happiness from exercise...!
It was a feeling she had never experienced in the real world! It was completely different from the feeling of a "healthy" body she had at the beginning of the three strategy worlds!
Because her brain clearly knew that this was her real body - her real body had recovered!
After running for a long distance, Kurikawa Sana leaned over, supported her knees, lowered her head and breathed lightly.
“Hah, huh…”
A miracle really happened.
However, all the people who brought her miracles are gone.
Kurikawa Sana's expression became a little confused again.
Everyone in the three worlds, and the system... all disappeared, and she would never see them again.
Suddenly she remembered the New Year's wish she had made during her last time in the volleyball world.
If possible, she hopes to meet everyone again after she leaves - even if it's just in her dreams.
However, her extravagant wish of recovering her health has already been fulfilled... Will God be kind enough to fulfill her other greedy wishes?
Just as Kurikawa Sana was smiling bitterly and wondering how this was possible, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
It was so familiar that she burst into tears almost instantly.
"Hey! Zhu Zhi, wait for me! Why are you running so fast?!"
"Nonsense, stupid You! Today's training task is not yet completed, you should catch up with the progress!"
"Wow, Ah Yue, stop being picky! We agreed that everyone has to strictly follow the nutritional diet! Only then can we achieve the effect of making up for 'time'!"
"…I'm not picky about food, I just eat later."
"Huh? Looks like I'm still the better one. I've already completed all of today's training tasks ahead of schedule!"
"I've been wanting to tell you something for a long time. Akashi, please judge for yourself. Has the eldest son of the Atobe family always been like this? He covers the entire playground track with roses wherever he wants to run?"
…
Such familiar voices, and such nostalgic tones and dialogues.
Kurikawa Sana raised her head in disbelief, and when she raised her head, tears were already falling from her eyes.
As the blurry tears in my eyes disappeared, the scene within my field of vision finally became clear.
In the sports field near the hospital building, familiar figures are running in circles. They have familiar looks and voices. They all have bright smiles on their faces. They are running round and round with perseverance, as if they are persisting in something.
——These are all the captureable targets she has encountered in the three worlds.
There were so many of them, their muscles were so strong, their hair was so bright, and their average height was so impressive that the huge standard sports field track could hardly accommodate them.
The only thing in common was the brilliant smiles on their faces, as if they had found some precious treasure that had been lost and then recovered.
"……Everyone?"
Kurikawa Sana straightened up and stared blankly at the direction of the playground and their figures. Her pretty face was covered with tears, and her expression was full of shock, disbelief, and indescribable joy.
...What is going on?
Why did all the conquest targets from the three worlds appear in her real world? Moreover, these people, who clearly belonged to three different worlds, now seemed to be particularly familiar with and friendly with each other?
"Ah, Sana!"
"Eh? Sanana is awake!"
As if they had sensed something telepathically, the young man on the track suddenly looked in the direction of the hospital leading to the playground. After seeing the black-haired girl not far away, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
"Damn it, didn't that metal ball say it might take a while for her to wake up?!"
"I couldn't even let Sana see me the first thing she did when she woke up. Damn it!"
"In order to strictly follow the recovery plan... I ended up leaving Sana alone when she woke up! I regret it so much!"
"Go!! The moment to test the results of these days' training has come. Who can sprint the fastest to get to Sana? It all depends on their own ability!"
"Don't be careless!"
"Hey!! Everyone, be careful! Don't let a stampede happen—"
…
Kurikawa Sana's mouth opened into an O shape.
She saw an astonishing number of athletic teenagers running towards her at lightning speed!
“Boom boom boom—”
Their footsteps were so loud that they created a sound like rolling thunder, which made people's hearts tremble.
“……!!!”
Kurikawa Sana suddenly felt her legs go weak.
Help, help!
She was definitely happy to see everyone again, so happy that she didn't even know what to say...
But what's going on with this inexplicably harmonious and weirdly enthusiastic atmosphere among everyone now?
…
*
An hour later.
In the open-air garden next to the playground, a beautiful black-haired girl in a hospital gown was surrounded by a group of athletic teenagers, listening quietly to their stories.
"So, that's exactly what happened," Gong You concluded. "With the help of that metal ball, after about a month, you, Sana, finally recovered and woke up."
"Yes, the reason why we all gathered here to run and exercise is based on the exercise and diet plan recommended and made by that 'system'. It is said that it can scientifically and effectively help us prolong our lives." Kita Shinsuke said seriously.
Kise Ryouta also raised his head proudly. "Yes, we are now competing privately to see who can persevere the longest and recover first to a physical level that is stronger and healthier than before."
“………………”
Kurikawa Sana was stunned for a long, long time.
"...Sana-senpai?" Echizen Ryoma waved his hand in front of her worriedly.
The girl still didn't respond.
Seeing this, Miyaji took out a huge bottle of sports spray from his bag, first quickly sprayed it on his twin brother Miya Yu a few times, and then sprayed it a few times at the people around him and the air above their heads.
Gong You: “???”
Everyone: “……?”
"Zhuzhi what are you doing!!!"
Miyaji calmly analyzed, "Sana is frozen in time. It must be because we stink so badly that she can't breathe. We smell like sweat right after exercise, and with so many athletes surrounding her, the smell must be overwhelming."
"Everyone, hurry up and spray some sports spray to get rid of the odor. Seebreeze sports spray is the best."
People who were praised as athletes but could not refute it: “……………………”
Gong You was helpless and mad, "Zhu Zhi, I'm not done with you——"
Just as the twins were about to have their daily battle, everyone heard the girl's laughter.
"puff……"
Kurikawa Sana cried and laughed at the same time. She laughed because the Miyabi twins were still as abstract and funny as ever, even though they had grown up quite a bit. She cried because she hadn't seen such a scene in who knows how long, and she missed it so much.
But the most important point is...
She never imagined that everyone would be willing to go to such lengths for her.
What she didn't expect was that this was the truth and essence of the "Sports Boy Favorability Strategy System", and that this was the method to save her.
It turned out that she did not travel through three different worlds, but the three worlds where everyone was originally different timelines and different places in her world. She just went to three different time periods and met them.
It turns out that they really do exist in her world, and if she were healthy, she might meet them.
Both everyone and the system have paid so much for her.
Everyone's efforts moved her so much that she couldn't help but cry. Tears flowed out like pearls from a broken string.
"Everyone... I really don't know how to thank you all..." Kurikawa Sana sobbed like a child, "It must be very painful, right? Bone marrow extraction... Such a thick and long needle inserted into the spine..."
"Sana, why do you need to thank us?" Yukimura Seiichi smiled gently, "No matter how much it costs, I'm willing to pay it as long as it can help you."
"That's right, I'm the same." Atobe Keigo curled his lips, "This is something I didn't even expect. It's a result ten thousand times better than I imagined."
"Besides, it doesn't hurt that much. Don't worry, Sanana, we all had anesthesia." Koutarou suddenly remembered something and said, "Ah, except for the red-haired basketball player Akashi, he seems to be the only one among all of us who didn't have anesthesia. It was really painful."
Kurikawa Sana: "!!!"
She was so frightened that she stopped crying and looked at Akashi Seijuro in shock and bewilderment, "Akashi-kun, why are you...?!"
"Why not use anesthesia?" Akashi Seijuro smiled, his eyes the crimson of his first personality. "Because I want to use the pain to remind myself to always remember the mistakes I made towards you, Sana, and to warn myself not to make the same mistake again."
Atobe Keigo twitched his lips, "Akashi, I'm not saying anything, but this is a bit like moral kidnapping."
Gong You also curled his lips, "Yeah, now Sana must be most impressed by you, the only one who is in more pain than everyone else."
Akashi Seijuro shook his head, "Don't worry, Sana, I'm not in pain."
"Eh? Why?" Kurikawa Sana asked in confusion: "Does Akashi-kun have some kind of neurological blockage against pain?..."
Akashi Seijuro: "No, it's just that when I was preparing to draw the bone marrow, my second personality took the initiative to exchange with me. He said that he hurt you more deeply, and he wanted to take the initiative to accept and remember this pain. And he doesn't expect you to forgive him just like that, Sana, you don't have to feel burdened."
Kurikawa Sana: "...!!"
The staggering amount of information shocked her again and she didn't know how to respond.
"Wow, is it really possible?!" Gong You bared his teeth and said to Gong Zhi beside him, "Zhi, tell me if we also have a second personality, the kind that can take our place and suffer in important moments!"
Miyaji: "Stupid Yu, you have a fifth personality."
“Pfft, pfft hahahahahaha!!”
"You twins are indeed interesting. No wonder Sana chose to go to your place."
"Of course. That Metal Ball guy said that the thing Sana can't forget the most is us!"
"Hey, stop flattering yourself. He's clearly talking about the entire timeline you guys are in that he can't forget the most."
"Whatever." Gong You suddenly put his hands on Kurikawa Sana's shoulders, "Sana, are you really no longer feeling any discomfort now?"
"No more." Kurikawa Sana shook her head slightly, and said with a guilty look: "I'm sorry for making everyone worry."
"Huh...that's good."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, everyone..." Kurikawa Sana couldn't help but ask, "Where's the system? Have you seen where the system is?"
"That Metal Ball?" Hinata Shoyo said naively, "He seems to be on the rooftop. He seems to have used up too much energy recently and wants to go out and bask in the sun and absorb some solar energy to replenish it."
Kurikawa Sana was stunned.
Metal Ball...
It turns out that the true form of the system is a ball.
