I'm in a real religion, why are all the people who confess to me girls?

"Fukuyama, what's wrong?"

"Hmm... I might have low blood pressure. I feel a little dizzy. Maybe I should really go see Hoshinomiya-sensei. Kamuro-kun, can you come to the infirmary with me?"

"Huh? Why can't I go with my sister?"

When Fukuyama Shinobu heard that Fukuyama Shinobu had Kamuro accompany her to the infirmary instead of her, her younger sister, she became a little upset.

“Longyuan is cunning. If we act together, we could be wiped out if something goes wrong. Besides, leaving you behind can be used as bait. Even if Longyuan doesn’t take the bait, we won’t lose anything.”

Fukuyama Shisho's statement made no problem, so even Fukuyama Shinobu could only casually agree.

Kamuro also noticed that Airi was acting strangely today, and with Fukuyama Shisho giving her a suggestive look, she naturally agreed without hesitation.

"Then let me accompany you to the infirmary. It seems I'm destined to be an errand boy. I've only been resting for a few minutes now."

Kamuro deliberately complained a few times before helping Fukuyama Shisho walk out of the tent.

Be careful on the road.

Airi spoke to their retreating figures, and Kamuro waved to indicate that he would be careful. Then, the two figures gradually disappeared from Airi's sight.

'It seems I've been noticed. Should I not have acted too deliberately? Ugh, this task is so difficult! Can I really complete it given my personality? Maybe I should start trying to decline to Amane… But Amane said she entrusted this task to me because she trusts me. If I tell her now that I can't complete it, she'll definitely be disappointed, right? Besides, this task is truly one that only I have the conditions and opportunity to complete… Sigh, it seems I can only wait and see.'

Airi sat back down in the corner of the tent, dejected, and continued to carefully review her textbooks.

……

Inside the ward, Tianyin lay on the bed in a staring-out position, her eyes fixed on the pristine white ceiling.

It was obvious that Amane was really bored. There were various game consoles and books in the ward, but these no longer attracted Amane. In addition, Hayasaka also refused to play games and chat with her.

So she could only pass the time by spacing out, but after a while, Tianyin would become bored and feel empty.

As for Hayasaka's reason for refusing, it was one that Amane couldn't refute.

"I have to be on call 24/7 every day. Besides cleaning your room, I also have to wash your sheets and clothes, and prepare three meals a day for you. For your health, I have to prepare and process all the ingredients myself. Only after you have finished eating can I cook the food I like. Finally, I have to spend a lot of time washing the dishes and kitchen utensils. I also have to supervise you to take your medicine on time and check your injuries. I also have to satisfy your lust from time to time. After doing all this, I have to write observation reports and record your meals and other relevant information at night. I get less than four hours of rest a day. I'm so tired from work that I don't even want to talk. And you still want me to chat and play games with you? Isn't this a bit too cruel to me? Even if I've already given my life to the Miyako family, I would die if I were exploited like this."

Amane felt a little ashamed that Hayasaka's day was so busy, but it was a bit too much to ask Hayasaka to do so many things by herself.

But if it's just chatting, there shouldn't be a big problem, right?

"How about Hayasaka Hikaru keeps me company for a chat?"

"Chatting? That's a different price. By the way, I've almost lost my voice trying to satisfy your sexual desires. If you want me to take time out of my busy schedule to play with you, then I'll have to cancel my overtime duties. Can you accept that, Miss Tianyin?"

When Amane heard that Hayasaka wanted to cancel the overtime work, she immediately shook her head and refused.

There's not much for her to do here to begin with, and if Hayasaka doesn't let her do anything either, then it'll really be no different from being in prison.

"Overtime work absolutely cannot be cancelled!!!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you to be patient a little longer."

"Waaaaah... Hayasaka, you're so cruel."

Hayasaka was initially startled by Amane's tendency to drop small pearls at the drop of a hat, and would frantically try to cheer her up.

But when Hayasaka later discovered that Amane was faking it, he was furious. Now Hayasaka has figured out a way to deal with Amane.

Hayasaka took off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, and sat down next to Amane.

Just as Tenon was feeling happy that her old trick had worked, Hayasaka suddenly burst into tears.

This completely confused Tianyin.

"Hayasaka, why are you crying?"

"Waaaaah, I lost my family when I was only a few years old. I was sent here and signed a contract to sell myself into servitude. At least I was alive. But I never thought that I would have to work for Miss Tianyin illegally before I even reached adulthood. Not only do you exploit your employees 24/7, but you also have to be raped at any time. I lost my first kiss and my first time, and you still complain that I didn't scream loud enough. Waaaaah, my life is so miserable."

Hayasaka hugged her knees and burst into tears. Seeing Hayasaka's heart-wrenching cries, even Amane, who prided herself on having a heart of stone, couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

"Ahem... I won't let you call me that next time, okay?"

"But once a day, my body can't take it, sob sob sob."

"Then once every three days is fine, no less than that!!"

"Okay, it's a deal."

Hayasaka stopped crying instantly, and even raised her hand to gently touch Amane's hand, thus fulfilling their promise.

"..."

Amane was furious when she saw Hayasaka acting as if nothing had happened. But she had already been tricked into agreeing, so there was no use in being angry. Besides, Hayasaka's body couldn't handle such high-intensity work every day. Rather than letting her take it easy every day, it was better to let her rest properly.

"You must be exhausted every day, it must be really tough on you."

"I am so touched that Miss Tianyin understands my hardships."

“I can’t hear any emotion in your words.”

"Being moved doesn't necessarily have to be outwardly expressed; being moved in your heart is the most important thing. If you don't believe me, Miss Tianyin, you'll understand once you hear the emotion in my heart."

Before Tianyin could even process how to express the emotion she felt, she was suddenly assaulted by a face wash without any packaging, pressed directly against her face.

Tianyin thoroughly washed her face with facial cleanser before leaving.

"How was it? The feeling of being moved was quite nice, wasn't it?"

"I wish there was something to drink."

"I can't do that kind of thing by myself..."

Amane pursed her lips. Hayasaka was quite adept at using the tactic of giving a slap on the wrist and then offering a sweet treat. It was fortunate that she was such an upright person; if it were someone else, they would probably have been drained dry by this little Hayasaka long ago.

"Speaking of which, isn't the school offering swimming lessons recently?"

"Yes, since the first week of physical fitness tests, the second week of physical training has mainly focused on swimming. The school requires all students to participate in swimming lessons, but about one-fifth of the girls refuse to participate due to physical discomfort. This situation is quite common in the first and second grades."

After being asked by Amane about the swimming lesson, Hayasaka immediately shared the information he had gathered with her.

Although Hayasaka's daily life wasn't as miserable as she described, the sheer variety of her work meant that even with her exceptional abilities, she was often overwhelmed with work.

For example, one of her tasks is to gather intelligence about the school. Moreover, it's not just about gathering intelligence; she also has to analyze the hidden information and the movements of each class behind it.

Hayasaka originally planned to take advantage of the time she and Amane were alone to get intimate, and maybe even improve her standing in Amane's heart. However, after working overtime for a week, she lost all such thoughts and even missed her carefree school life.

Amane wasn't surprised by the exaggerated number of female trainees absent. On one hand, it's true that some girls do experience physical discomfort, which is beyond human control. On the other hand, some girls are so striking in appearance that they attract attention wherever they go. In such cases, refusing to participate in training is somewhat acceptable. Moreover, their absence doesn't mean they can't swim. According to Horikita, swimming is taught in junior high school, and the difference lies in the speed and proficiency. It's impossible for them to be completely unable to swim.

However, the reason why Tianyin brought up the topic of swimming was not because she suddenly became concerned about the school's swimming lessons.

Rather, she wanted to swim too.

"Hayasaka, what do you think the chances are of me getting a swimming pool added to my room?"

Tianyin asked cautiously.

You mean the swimming pool, not the bathtub?

"It's a swimming pool, one of those big ones where you can swim in it~"

"Miss Amane!! Even if you make this request in such a cute tone, it's still very difficult, okay? This is a hospital!! Even if there is a public swimming pool for health purposes, it should be built on the first floor. Just thinking about digging a swimming pool on the roof or in a room is obviously impossible, right?"

"Hayasaka, calm down! Calm down! I was just saying that. If it's inconvenient, how about... we arrange a bathtub first?"

tub?

Installing a bathtub is a much smaller undertaking than digging a swimming pool, and the cost approval should be easier to obtain.

Honestly, why does she have to worry about these weird requests all the time?

"Okay, I'll do the cost calculation first, write an application and submit it. If it's approved, maybe we can arrange a bigger bathtub for you, Miss Tianyin, as soon as possible."

"Haasaka!!!"

"By the way, if the bathtub option isn't feasible, would you be willing to accept the fish tank option, Ms. Amane?"

"???"

Chapter 139: The Little Red Pony

"After nearly a week of hard work, Miss Tianyin, your extra-large bathtub is almost ready. However, there is still a small problem that urgently needs your personal attention."

Hayasaka, who originally wanted to buy a large fish tank to appease Amane, was driven to desperation by Amane's tantrums and tantrums. So he simply doubled the budget in the project plan and applied to the Miyako family to build Amane a custom-made super-large bathtub that would only be used a few times at most.

As expected, Hayasaka was severely criticized after submitting her proposal. Although the bathtub project was eventually approved, Hayasaka was in a terrible mood.

That's just how it is when you work for a large family. If someone takes their anger out on her, you can only say she's unlucky. After all, she's just an employee.

No matter how well their identities are arranged, there will always be a difference between Miyako and Hayasaka.

Just as Hayasaka was supervising the installation of the bathtub and the construction of the sunshade canopy, which were nearing completion, he suddenly remembered something very important and hurriedly returned from the installation site to the incredibly luxurious hospital room.

While reporting the project's progress to Tianyin, she also had to hand over "that" problem to Tianyin to handle.

Upon hearing that the extra-large bathtub was about to be installed, Amane jumped off the bed and ran barefoot across the floor, quickly reaching Hayasaka's side.

"Wow! I didn't expect we could swim so soon! As expected of Hayasaka, you're so efficient. By the way, what was that little problem you were referring to? Is the budget running out? Or should I reward you properly?"

As Amane spoke, her gaze gradually moved downwards from Hayasaka's handsome face.

"I came here to ask how you swim with only one hand?"

"How can you swim with only one hand...wait?"

Tianyin then remembered that her left hand was still wrapped up tightly. It would be a problem if she could go into the water with it wrapped up like that.

"It seems the biggest problem still lies with you, Miss Tianyin."

"Hayasaka, calm down. Maybe my hand is already healed, and all I need to do is take it out of the bandage..."

"No, you should know very well that your hand needs to be immobilized for at least a month, right? A fracture is no small matter; if it leaves any sequelae, it could be very troublesome."

Fortunately, so far it's just a waste of money on a bathtub and ceiling, and at most some labor costs. But if Tianyin were to swim in the bathtub with only one hand, and she sank to the bottom, something bad might happen, which would be a big problem.

"I just want to swim! I can swim with one hand!"

"Once you've recovered from your injury, you can swim however you like."

"I don't care, I don't care! The bathtub's all installed, I'm going swimming!!! Otherwise, I'm going to sneak back to school from here!"

???

How could the dignified young lady of the Miyako family suddenly act like a scoundrel?

Although Amane's tantrum had already made Hayasaka's fists hard, she still tried to patiently explain to Amane.

"According to the doctor, your left hand should not come into contact with water. Although I believe that you, Ms. Tianyin, will not have any accidents in a fish tank that is less than a meter deep, it is hard not to be suspicious that you proposed swimming with one hand. If it affects your recovery, it could cause a chain reaction, such as missing a special exam at school."

Hayasaka breathed a sigh of relief after noticing that Amane's attitude had softened somewhat. In order to completely thwart Amane's desire to take risks, Hayasaka continued to speak.

"As for sneaking back to school, I've arranged a month of sick leave for you. If you go back now, it might be considered as lying about your illness... The best outcome would be that you'd be sent back. So you have no choice but to quietly recover."

After Hayasaka finished speaking, Amane's ahoge (cowlick) immediately went limp, and her face showed obvious disappointment. In the end, Amane sighed.

"Hayasaka, you're right. I still need to focus on recovering. Go and return the bathtub. By the way, since I didn't actually use or sign off on this expense, my family might not reimburse you for the remaining costs. They might even try to get back the advance payment. As for the shortfall, it will be deducted from your salary."

Amane's casual remark almost made Hayasaka collapse to the ground.

"What? Why would something like this happen? The custom bathtub alone cost an astronomical sum. If they deducted that from my salary, how long would it take?"

Hayasaka felt utterly absurd. What kind of ridiculous rule was this? How could there be a situation where wages were deducted from her, a working person?

If you can't get paid for several years, what's the point of working?

"Ultimately, the loss this time is because you, Hayasaka, ordered an overpriced bathtub without assessing whether my condition was suitable for me. Therefore, this is considered a mistake on your part. According to the Miyako family's rules, serious losses caused by personal mistakes must be borne by the individual who made the mistake. You're really pitiful, Hayasaka. The thought of having your salary deducted every month and working for free makes my heart ache. However, if I had used the bathtub, it wouldn't have been a mistake."

A smile appeared on Tianyin's lips.

This is already a clear indication.

Hayasaka hesitated, glancing back and forth between the eight-digit bill and Amane's smiling face, before finally deciding to follow her heart.

Wow, what a huge bathtub! Seriously, is it okay to put such a big bathtub on the rooftop?

Looking at the enormous bathtub that occupied almost the entire rooftop of two adjacent buildings in the hospital, Tianyin couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. She then realized just how serious the problem was in building such a large bathtub.

A bathtub is fine if it's just sitting there, but if it's completely filled with water, its weight becomes terrifying—it could even collapse the ceiling.

"It's amazing that you still remember this. Of course, there are many problems, but fortunately, the owner of this hospital used the strongest materials when it was built, making it almost like a permanent structure. Therefore, it can withstand a bathtub filled with water. However, it's definitely not sustainable in the long run. So, we can only add water when you need it and then immediately drain the water from the bathtub after you finish using it to reduce the weight and ensure that the roof material is not damaged."

Amane pouted. She had initially thought the hospital built by the old man was quite impressive, but after Hayasaka's introduction, it suddenly seemed rather lackluster. However, even the old man probably couldn't have imagined that someone would do something so outrageous as installing a large bathtub on the roof of the family headquarters hospital.

"Then how did you get the bathtub up here? Such a large piece of glass is very easy to break."

To minimize weight, the bathtub is made of lightweight glass, but this also means that the aquarium has sacrificed its original sturdiness, so it probably won't be an easy task to transport this fragile giant aquarium.

"I used the family's crane and helicopter, and it took several hours to get this bathtub up intact. However, such a big fuss has brought two pieces of news, one good and one bad. The good news is that you can now enjoy your bathtub to your heart's content, while the bad news is... our actions seem to have made the news, but it's not a big deal. Anyway, it's only you who will be photographed."
