Chapter 311 As expected, plans can't keep up with changes.

"You actually paid the bill secretly? When did you pay it?"
On the way to the movie theater, Chitanda Eru asked curiously.
"Would you believe me if I said it was yesterday?"
"yesterday?!"
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "To avoid being distracted by other things today, I've already booked my schedule in advance. To avoid a repeat of yesterday..."
Yesterday, without any plans, Uchiha Ryo spent the first half of the day shopping with Hayasaka Ai, but then went to the Shirogane family to act as a persuader, and then went to the Ishigami family to play video games. When they finally came back... Hayasaka Ai's emotions were completely diverted by Fujiwara-kun.
So today is different. Uchiha Ryo has planned the process in advance, and barring any unforeseen circumstances... there won't be any extra people causing trouble today.
Unless… He turned to look at Chitanda Eru, who was looking down, seemingly lost in thought. Unless she went and found something to do herself…
Moreover, this possibility is very high, since even Uchiha Rin could not eliminate the subjective will of the curious Chitanda through language.
After buying popcorn, they entered the movie theater. To cater to Chitanda's preferences, he specifically chose a recently released suspenseful crime film. Although he could watch romance movies, Chitanda seemed more interested in mystery-solving and the like.
As expected, Chitanda watched the main characters' analysis intently during the movie, muttering to himself as he did so, and occasionally turning to ask Uchiha Ryo for his opinion.
It must be said that the film itself has an artistic atmosphere that transcends reality, and it is very good at arousing the audience's emotions. Realistic suspense films can also make people feel more immersed in the scene.
However, the perpetrator is indeed infuriating, and his lawless behavior, relying on his innate advantages, is truly infuriating.
In response, Uchiha Ryo stated... he once saw a farming book in the Shuchiin Academy library, which stated...
Most pesticides on the market are designed for insect larvae, because once the insects become adults, they will cause even greater damage. Applying pesticides then would be like locking the stable door after the horse has bolted.
Therefore, good farmers don't care whether these caterpillars that eat crops grow up to be beautiful butterflies, because the larvae eat the crops, so it's better to spray pesticides as soon as possible.
"The movie's over, where do we go next?"
Uchiha Ryo glanced at his phone. "I've made a restaurant reservation for tonight, but let's take a stroll around Shinjuku first. There will be fewer people in the afternoon."
Great, everything is proceeding according to plan so far, and no unexpected situations have arisen.
Hopefully, no one will bother us today, such as Shirogane's phone call, the end of the band's music video, Ishigami's game, or Fujiwara Chika's sudden appearance, etc.
Fortunately, they have a professional special agent maid on their side. Uchiha Rin reminded Hayasaka Ai last night to keep a close eye on the people who are most likely to disrupt his plans, especially Fujiwara Chika. If she sees her, she will definitely try her best to join in the fun!
Meanwhile, Hayasaka Ai, who had been entrusted with an important task, was leisurely snacking and watching web dramas at home.
As for helping to get rid of bystanders? She didn't even manage to be alone yesterday, so how could Chitanda possibly succeed today?
I'm already being kind by not going to cause trouble for myself, so I'll just leave today to fate.
.......
"Ling Jun, let's go take a look over there! It looks like an ambulance from a general hospital in the city center. Look how many people there are!"
"...Airu, let's not join in the fun, okay? What's so interesting about people from the hospital? They're probably just here to pick up patients."
Uchiha Ryo stopped Chitanda Eru, who wanted to go see her. It wasn't that he disliked hospitals, but he was perfectly healthy and his family was also healthy, so why should he go to the hospital to join the crowd?
The suspense movie just told you that if you don't court death, you won't die, have you already forgotten?
Chitanda pouted and nodded, "Alright then, but I just saw someone in that group who looks like Natsume-kun."
"..."
"Let's go take a look."
Instead, Eru pulled Chitanda's hand and led her towards the ambulance, chuckling. "Let's go! I'm wondering if I saw things wrong too."
Uchiha Ryo's expression was solemn. Chitanda Eru was not mistaken; upon closer inspection, he also discovered the Flying Thunder God mark nearby.
That mark is only placed on people who are close to you, which means... Natsume might really be with the ambulance.
"Natsume!"
Natsume wasn't there, but Uchiha Ryo saw the familiar Nyanko-sensei. Because there were ordinary people around, Nyanko-sensei simply meowed once upon seeing Uchiha Ryo, then expertly jumped onto his shoulder.
"Natsume encountered a yokai. Although he was fine, the yokai accidentally injured some ordinary people..."
"Nyanko-sensei said in a low voice, and Uchiha Ryo guessed what was going on. Natsume's gentle nature was acting up again. He probably wanted to take care of the sick because he had caused the yokai to harm ordinary people."
Sure enough, Uchiha Ryo saw Natsume with a furrowed brow in front of the ambulance.
Are you alright?
"Brother Ling... um, I'm fine, it's just that old man..."
Natsume was about to speak when he saw Chitanda behind Uchiha Ryo, so he paused and continued.
"The old man just collapsed in front of me, so I called an ambulance. But I'm still a little worried, so I'm going to take him to the hospital."
Chitanda watched the ambulance leave, then turned to Uchiha Ryo and said, "Ryo-kun, let's go help Natsume too!"
"You... never mind. Let's go."
"Okay! Let's go, our destination is the Municipal General Hospital!" I almost forgot that Chitanda is also an extremely gentle person.
However, being attacked by a monster resulted in illness and injury, indicating that the monster's methods were extraordinary.
They hailed a taxi and headed straight to the hospital, then followed Natsume all the way to the old man's ward.
As soon as he pushed open the door, Uchiha Ryo saw a few familiar faces.
This is a double hospital room. On the left is an elderly man who is in a coma. He should be the old man that Natsume mentioned who was accidentally injured by a monster. On the right is a man lying on the bed, with two pretty girls on either side of him.
"Isn't this Uchiha-junior? You've come to visit me!"
"Kazunori...senpai, what's wrong with you?"
Kazunori, the captain of the Shuchiin rugby club, scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, then looked at the casually dressed girl, Mayu Hongo, beside him.
"It's just... I was out with my girlfriend, and then I accidentally got hurt."
On the other side, Fuyumi Irisu, dressed in a nurse's uniform, chuckled. "Kazano, how many times have you come in these past few days? If Hongo and I weren't acquainted, I wouldn't have given you special treatment."
"Senior Iruka!"
Chitanda stepped forward and greeted the senior she had met many times before. Uchiha Ryo remembered that Irisu Fuyumi's family seemed to own a hospital... Was she working in her family's company?
"Chitanda? Uchiha? What are you doing here? Treating this guy?"
Uchiha shook his head. "We didn't know about Kazunori-senpai's hospitalization. We came to visit this old gentleman."
"Oh, Mr. Tanaka was just examined in the ambulance. His condition is a bit strange, but not serious. It seems to be severe malnutrition? And he just caught a chill, so he'll probably have a low-grade fever."
