Zongman: I can modify the status bar

"Cough cough..."

The doctor looked up at the young man who had just spoken to him, then looked left and right, and finally asked, "Whose foot did you say was sprained?"

"Can't you see this girl?" Haruki signaled with his eyes to Mai Sakurajima in his arms, then looked at the doctor again.

"Huh? There's no one here, young man. Are you sleepy? There are only you and me in this room. There are no girls here." The doctor was also puzzled. He looked at the supercar waiting outside the door. Even the car was empty. Is this young man pretending to be me here?

On the other side, Haruki felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. Could he really not see? But he had indeed absorbed as much magic power as he could, the original 20% had increased to the current 25%. Even his special skill, the Sharingan, could be used normally. Just after entering the room, he had checked the doctor's status bar, and what he said was true, there was no deception. So, it must be that the problem with Sakurajima Mai had not been solved.

If that's the case, we can only think of another solution.

"Sorry, doctor, I left in a hurry. My girlfriend is still at home. Sorry..." Haruki said perfunctorily and left the clinic. Then he put Sakurajima Mai back in the car. He didn't feel anything about the doctor's words. He had been practicing medicine for decades and had seen all kinds of new things. Just sprinkle some water...

"You have seen the situation. My judgment is correct. Your problem has not been solved yet. No one can see you except me." Yaohui was also helpless. He originally thought that he could absorb the magic power, cure the minor illness, and win the heart of the female star by the way, and the incident would be solved. But it turned out to be so complicated that he even had no clue at all.

"Um... didn't you just say that absorbing magic power requires direct contact?" Sakurajima Mai asked awkwardly to the distressed Haruki beside her.

"Yeah, yeah, what's wrong? Of course, what I said might not be accurate. It can be absorbed even without contact, but the efficiency is very low. But if it comes into direct contact, the efficiency will be much higher. That's about it."

Yaohui understood that the girl in front of him was a smart person, so it was okay to tell her these details, as if he was borrowing her smart brain.

However, Mai Sakurajima's next words were something Haruki could not have expected.

"So, based on what you said, can I understand it this way: the closer I am to you, the closer the contact, the more efficient you will be in absorbing magic power?"

A blush appeared on Sakurajima Mai's face.

"Well, I'm not sure either, but based on past experience, there's nothing wrong with your summary." Yaohui thought carefully about the other party's speculation and felt that there were basically no loopholes, so he gave a positive answer.

"Then... let's kiss!"

……

Chapter 317 White Kiss

"How to say?"

Faced with Mai Sakurajima's sudden proposal, Haruki did not react much. Instead, he calmly asked the other party the reason, which made Mai Sakurajima nervous.

"Well, didn't you just say that the efficiency of mana absorption is closely related to the distance of contact? So... I was thinking that if we kiss, the contact will be closer, which would make it more convenient..."

The reason why Sakurajima Mai was shy or nervous was not because she might have any intimate actions with Haruki in front of her later, but because Haruki seemed very calm from beginning to end. Even when facing a beautiful girl like herself who had become a star, he could keep his composure?

Is this really the limit of my ability? Or is the problem with him?

It must be his problem!

Mai Sakurajima's brain thought quickly, and she soon threw the responsibility of the problem to Haruki. Anyone who faced Mai Sakurajima would not be able to help but look back and take a few more glances, even girls were the same, so it must be that Haruki could not understand his charm!

Mai Sakurajima nodded to herself, recalling that day in the library, Haruki was surprisingly calm even when he saw her in a bunny girl suit. At most, he just went up to her and asked a few questions because of her strange behavior.

"I haven't tried this yet, but it's worth a try." Haruki thought that he had only absorbed magic power through simple contact these days, and as for those intimate actions, he had only done them to Shizuka Hiratsuka. However, she usually had no magic power, except when she reached the peak.

"Right, just kiss the beautiful girl in front of you with a grateful heart. This will definitely be the highlight of your life..."

When Sakurajima Mai heard that Haruki was indeed going to come over and kiss her as she said, she immediately changed her expression and became much more arrogant. But Haruki didn't care about her at all and interrupted Sakurajima Mai with a kiss.

Mai Sakurajima only felt her body being instantly restrained in a strong embrace, and her unfinished words were drowned in the affectionate kiss.

The slightly cold tongue slid into her mouth, greedily searching for her scent, vigorously exploring every corner.

The throbbing at this moment made the girl, who was complacent a moment ago, motionless like a lamb to be slaughtered.

The sudden kiss caught her off guard like a storm. The sweet saliva caressed between the entangled tongues. Her mind was blank and she just closed her eyes obediently, as if everything was natural.

She forgot to think, and she didn't want to think. She just instinctively wanted to hug him, tighter, and tighter.

"Huh? What's going on? I don't feel anything!"

Haruki suddenly let go and looked at the girl in his arms with a puzzled look on his face. The girl was closing her eyes and enjoying herself as she pleased.

Actually, it’s not that I didn’t feel anything at all. There was indeed some feeling at the beginning, but it disappeared quickly.

"Could it be that the magic power has indeed been completely absorbed? So is there really no reaction now?"

Sakurajima Mai's beautiful eyes were half closed and then slightly opened. The air mixed with the scent of Haruki rushed into her moist lips, making her realize that the beauty just now was over.

"Eh? Why is it over?" Sakurajima Mai was almost completely absorbed in feeling this unprecedented beauty, so she didn't hear Haruki's mumbling at all.

"It's not that it's over, but I feel like there's no reaction..." Yaohui was naturally happy to hug and kiss such a beautiful girl, but the most important thing at the moment was to solve the problem first. She sprained her foot, but she couldn't go to the doctor. The doctor couldn't see her at all. What should she do?

What's even more annoying is that Haruki's own skills can't target her, otherwise he would just spend some magic power to help her, and they're stuck in a vicious loop.

Fortunately, Haruki can still see Sakurajima Mai normally. Sakurajima Mai's symptom is probably that she was watched by too many people when she was a celebrity. Even in daily life, she still couldn't escape the eyes of passers-by, and secretly photographed things were inevitable. It was probably because of this reason that Sakurajima Mai really wanted not to be seen by others, and then she happened to catch up with the impact of this incident, making her unobservable.

What is certain at the moment is that the culprit of her condition is magic, and Haruki happens not to be negatively affected by magic. On the contrary, magic is something very important to Haruki.

"What should I do? I won't always be in this state, right..." Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but say what she was most worried about. When it wasn't serious before, that state would only last for half a day at most, with an interval of about a week. This time might sometimes be extended, but the final result was always the same, and everything would return to normal in the end.

But this time is different. It came again just a few days after the previous one, and it has not recovered even after so long. Anyone would be affected by this abnormality.

"How about we try again?" Haruki once again fixed his gaze on Sakurajima Mai's slightly open lips. The tender tip of the tongue and lips just now really gave Haruki a different experience, and naturally aroused some of Haruki's emotions.

"Didn't you say it's useless? That kiss just now was in vain!" Sakurajima Mai showed panic rarely. She thought the problem could be easily solved, but now it turned out like this. It's normal to be anxious.

"Why did you say it was a white kiss? What I said was useless is that you have no magic power left in your body now. When you took the first bite, you sucked out the magic power that had accumulated just now. That's why I said it was useless." Haruki told Sakurajima Mai the details. Sakurajima Mai also calmed down. She looked around with her flashing eyes and then looked at Haruki.

"So, the current problem has nothing to do with magic?"

"I'm not sure what's going on, but it's definitely related to magic. When I saw you today, I felt like you had much more magic than the other day. It's obvious that your symptoms are more serious than before. I just don't know how to deal with it right now."

"understood."

Mai Sakurajima understood Haruki's meaning instantly, and then there was a series of silence. The only sound in the already small space of the car was the mingled breathing of the two people. The suburbs were very quiet at night, and even the passing vehicles were very few. Mai Sakurajima wanted to say something but stopped herself several times. In the end, she could only sit in the passenger seat and gently stroke her ankle. The waves of pain made the girl frown.

Finally, Haruki spoke.

"I'll take you home and help you with your ankle. We'll deal with the rest later. If we delay any longer, this small problem will become a big one."

……

Chapter 318 Are you taking him home now?

"go home?!"

Mai Sakurajima didn't expect that Haruki's calmness just now was just an appetizer. There would be something bigger next. Was he going to take the strange girl home directly?

Well, we’re not too strangers. We’ve met before and left contact information. We just hugged and kissed each other, so we can’t be considered strangers.

"I can't deal with you like this right now. Besides, it's so late and I have to go to work tomorrow. I can't just leave you here..."

Haruki said as he pulled out his phone from his pocket.

Seeing how motivated Haruki was, Mai Sakurajima didn't object explicitly. She just grumbled a few words under her breath, "You're bringing her home so soon? What excuses are you making? Besides, why not my house..."

"Hello? It's me. Well, the person has been picked up and I'm ready to go back." Haruki made a phone call in front of Mai Sakurajima. Upon hearing the voice, Mai Sakurajima quickly shut up and looked at Haruki quietly from the side, guessing the identity of the person on the other end of the phone. It sounded like a girl?

"Oh, and get me an ice pack. Ice cubes will do if you don't have any. Also, get some bandages, some blood-activating spray, and some painkillers."

"Yeah, no problem, I know. Okay, that's it. See you later."

Haruki hung up the phone and turned around to see Mai Sakurajima stretching her neck and almost putting her face in front of him. The distance was so close that they were almost kissing again.

"What are you doing?"

"Who's the woman on the phone?"

"Do you care?"

"Tsk, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I don't want to know!" Sakurajima Mai puffed up her cheeks and sat back in her seat, crossing her arms and looking very awkward.

"After all, we've kissed and hugged each other before, so you'd better be more self-aware."

Mai Sakurajima turned her face to the side and observed Haruki's expression through the rearview mirror. In her opinion, what she said just now was actually no different from a confession. It would be a bit ridiculous to say that she fell in love so quickly. However, Haruki was so different when no one could discover him, and he came to save her as soon as she said it. In addition to what happened just now, it would be a lie to say that she was not moved. Mai Sakurajima also knew very well that this feeling might dissipate in a day or two, but now she can only rely on the man in front of her.

"Hmm...you've got me stumped by this. Well, forget it, I'll just be honest with you. I wasn't going to hide it from you anyway. The person who just called was my wife."

"Eh?!" The moment Sakurajima Mai heard the word "wife", she felt all the strength in her body disappear. Even though she was a little angry because of Haruki's vague words just now, she now had no support at all. She was already very hungry because she twisted her ankle and was trapped in the park for a night. Now she was dealt another heavy blow.

Mai Sakurajima stared blankly at the pretty face in front of her. She had thought that she finally had someone to rely on, but she didn't expect that the breakup would come so quickly, like a tornado. There was no time to leave the storm eye and no time to escape. Who could withstand this?

Seeing Sakurajima Mai's expression, Haruki probably understood what she was thinking. The girl's blush was louder than any sweet words. How could he not understand what she was thinking, even if it was just for a moment? But there was nothing he could do about it. He had to solve the problem at hand first.

The good news is that Sakurajima Mai no longer asks any more questions.

The bad news is that Sakurajima Mai was completely speechless and he didn't know what to say.

There was no conversation along the way. There were few vehicles and pedestrians on the road. Yaohui drove smoothly and arrived home quickly.

It seemed that the location service had detected the information that Haruki was about to return, and as soon as Haruki entered the room, he saw Shizuka Hiratsuka waiting at the door.

He parked the car, then went to the passenger seat and picked up Mai Sakurajima, who had sprained her foot. She let Haruki pick her up like a doll, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"Eh? Where's the person you brought back? Didn't you say she was injured?" Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Haruki in confusion as he got out of the driver's seat, then came to the passenger side, opened the door, and then closed it.

Although Haruki was mentally prepared for this sentence, he still found it a little hard to accept when he actually heard it from Hiratsuka Shizuka's mouth. As expected, he was the only one who could see her.

But Yaohui still didn't give up.

"It's in my arms, can't you see it?"

After hearing what Haruki said, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked carefully at Haruki who was standing in front of her, and finally shook her head.

"So what do you think my current posture is? Or am I holding anything?"

"Well... he's just standing there normally. It doesn't look like he's holding anything at all." Shizuka Hiratsuka was also confused. Haruki was standing in front of her with his hands hanging down, so why would he say he was holding something when asked?

"Then let me ask one last question. Do you know Mai Sakurajima?" Haruki actually already had an idea in his mind. Mai Sakurajima's condition was that she could affect the cognition of others, making it impossible for others to detect her existence. In fact, even though Haruki was holding her now, in the eyes of Shizuka Hiratsuka, because of the cognitive impairment, Haruki still did not hold anything. Otherwise, Haruki could naturally use some phenomena to prove to others that Mai Sakurajima was indeed in his arms.

"Who is that? I've never heard of her. Are you going to find her this time?" Haruki was not surprised at all by Shizuka Hiratsuka's answer.

If this is further promoted, even if Haruki talks to Mai Sakurajima or does something else, others will not notice. At most, they will only see Haruki standing there, and other information about Mai Sakurajima will be blocked by cognition. It is just that difficult.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare?" Haruki walked into the room holding Mai Sakurajima.

"Well, it's ready. The medicines and other things are on the coffee table. I'll get you an ice pack right away." Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't ask much. After all, Haruki's appearance itself was incredible, and all she could do was to help him.

Haruki placed the injured girl on the sofa, then took off her snagged black stockings, revealing her fair skin and a subtle, unique scent belonging to the girl.

My sprained ankle is a little swollen because I was delayed for some time, but it’s not a serious problem.

Haruki first covered the prepared ice pack with a layer of towel, and then applied it to Sakurajima Mai's wound. If the ice pack came into direct contact with the skin, it might cause frostbite, so applying a layer of towel would make it much better.

While applying the ice, Haruki gave Sakurajima Mai a painkiller so that he wouldn't have to hear the girl groan every time he moved the ice pack, which sounded quite painful.

……

Chapter 319 She is very beautiful

After applying the ice for about twenty minutes, Haruki removed the ice pack from Sakurajima Mai's foot. He then sprayed the injured area with a blood-activating spray and applied a pressure bandage to the injured ankle. He started at the distal end of the ankle, at the instep, and wound it toward the proximal calf, trying to get the tightness just right.

This can limit the movement of the injured part, reduce the exudation of tissue fluid, and prevent further swelling. However, the bandage should not be too tight, so as not to affect blood circulation and cause purple toes, numbness, etc.

The emergency self-rescue knowledge I learned before came in handy, otherwise I would have been very panicked if I had learned it on the spot.

Looking at Haruki who was busy treating her injuries, Sakurajima Mai was confused. But when she saw the beautiful woman standing behind Haruki and helping him get this and that, she felt relieved.

"I finally understand why you have been so calm." The girl suddenly spoke, catching Haruki off guard. He had been very honest just now, so why is there a problem again?

But it's a good opportunity to try talking to Sakurajima Mai and see if Shizuka Hiratsuka next to her can notice anything strange about Haruki's behavior.

"What do you mean?" Yaohui squatted on the ground to pack up the medical supplies after the bandage, and took the time to look up at the girl.

"She is really beautiful..." Sakurajima Mai looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka behind Haruki. No matter how dishonest she was, she couldn't deny that this woman was indeed beautiful and cute, with a great figure and a great personality. She trusted Haruki 100% and even waited at the door knowing that Haruki was coming back. If Haruki was slower, she would probably become a husband-waiting stone. Even a big star like Sakurajima Mai felt that her chances of winning against such an opponent were slim and she couldn't win at all!

"Yeah, I think so too." Haruki responded, then turned around and looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka who had been waiting for him behind him.

"What's wrong? Do you need anything else?" When Shizuka Hiratsuka saw Haruki looking back, she hurried forward to ask if he was looking for something again.

"It's okay, it's over. Didn't you hear what I said just now?" Even though Yaohui already had the result in his mind, he still wanted to verify it.

"No, you were just squatting there packing up your things and didn't say anything." Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head. From her perspective, Haruki was just fiddling with ice packs and other medical supplies, and then he put them away. That was it, she didn't see anything else.

"Okay, I understand. Let's leave it at that for now. By the way, is the room cleaned up?" Yaohui straightened his back.

"Everything is cleaned up. Now that everything is resolved, let's eat." Shizuka Hiratsuka took the medical box and put it aside.

"Ok!"

Haruki followed Shizuka Hiratsuka to the kitchen. Looking at the various unopened lunch boxes, Haruki knew without a doubt that Shizuka Hiratsuka must not have eaten the takeout after ordering it, and had been waiting for him to come back.

Mai Sakurajima watched the two people in front of her having such an "old married couple" conversation, and then they walked to the next room together. She lay alone on the sofa, her heart in a mess.

After a while, Yaohui came out with a lunch box and a glass of water in his hands.

"I don't know what you like to eat, so let's just make do with it for now."
