Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard

Kyujuu Rika thought for a moment: "It's possible."

Kitagawa Sakisa: "But, but we can't be sure it's in the surgery room, right..."

Uesugi Sakura: "Since there's only one 'surgery' clue in the whole room, from the designer's perspective, it's guiding us to the surgery room."

"Ah... do we really have to go to the surgery room...?" Kitagawa Sakisa was frightened and reluctant.

"Just think that everything is fake."

...

Considering relative cleanliness, most surgery rooms are set on the top floor.

They took the creaky old elevator.

It took the four of them about ten minutes to reach the top floor from the third.

The style here was vastly different from before, mainly scarlet, with medical equipment toppled on both sides of the corridor. The four carefully approached the surgery room step by step, pushed open the door, and saw densely packed blood-stained handprints on the walls and floor, making their hair stand on end...

A subtle rusty smell could be sensed.

The setting of this haunted house was a bit too realistic.

This was the operation room... where Doctor Fujiko was murdered.

Uesugi Sakura had to let the three of them stand outside while he went in to find the target.

Although not very scared, the surroundings were all bizarrely arranged, plus only having a flashlight as a light source, it was inevitably a bit tense in the situation.

Uesugi Sakura searched for Doctor Fujiko's mirror in the surgery room, and the flashlight could only provide some weak beams of light. The floor was covered with blood handprints, and in front of some handprints, there were also a few deep claw marks, quite hideous.

Just then, Uesugi Sakura heard something fall.

Uesugi Sakura shined the flashlight over and suddenly saw a burnt-faced male doctor appear right in front of him, standing very close, with his heels already against his own.

...

Uesugi Sakura crouched on the ground, looking up at him.

The male doctor also looked down at Uesugi Sakura.

...

Their two pairs of eyes just stared at each other like that.

...

"Clack clack clack clack clack..."

The male doctor suddenly began to tremble his chin, his teeth clattered, and just as Uesugi Sakura was curious how he was doing it, the doctor held his head, charging into the darkness like a madman.

Uesugi Sakura tilted his head slightly, but there was no expression on his face.

The staff is really dedicated...

Outside the surgery room, Hanamaru Hanabi heard the commotion and asked if something had happened.

Uesugi Sakura replied that it was fine and continued to look for the mirror.

After some groping, he even saw a severed limb partly covered by a green cloth on the operating table, and underneath he found a broken small mirror.

Dust had settled on the mirror.

But having this, it could be exchanged for a reward from the staff.

Uesugi Sakura left the surgery room.

Hanamaru Hanabi was a bit afraid to look inside, "Did you find it, Sakura?"

"Found it." Uesugi Sakura held the small mirror in his right hand.

Kitagawa Sakisa no longer wanted to stay in this place. While waiting for Uesugi Sakura just now, several white shadows flashed past the ceiling several times. This haunted house doesn't use ghosts much to scare people but relies on the layout to create immense pressure on players all the time.

"If... if we found it, let's get out of here quickly..."

Kyujuu Rika laughed at her: "Weren't you the most excited when we came in?"

"I, I was... that was—previously, my previous self! Now I'm different, let's go, let's go... let's get out fast."

Hanamaru Hanabi also nodded, she was quite scared as well.

...

Of course, you also have to find your own way out, and this journey took another half an hour.

When they got out, Kitagawa Sakisa looked up and saw the sun in the sky, feeling relieved.

"Finally out."

Uesugi Sakura felt okay, he glanced at Hanamaru Hanabi, noticing her face was a bit pale with some sweat on her forehead, probably due to nervousness.

"Are you all right?"

Hanamaru Hanabi's eyes were blank, as if she hadn't heard him speak.

"Hanabi."

"Hanabi?"

Hanamaru Hanabi snapped out of it, raised her eyes to look at his face, and softly called: "Sakura..."

"Scared you?" Uesugi Sakura smiled at the girl.

"Mm..."

"Not coming again next time, not coming again." Kitagawa Sakisa patted her chest, still frightened by the hospital.

"You guys wait here for a bit, give me the card, I'll go exchange the prizes."

"Okay."

Uesugi Sakura took the task item "Doctor Fujiko's Mirror" to find the staff and exchanged it for four unlimited play tickets for Fuji Q Highland.

Unfortunately, the poker cards didn't add up to a multiple of four, missing out on a grand prize.

Furthermore, Uesugi Sakura observed during the prize exchange that among the four groups, only they found the target item.

Apart from the team they encountered earlier, the other two groups voluntarily quit after playing for half an hour.

This indirectly shows that those four girls are quite brave.

They even dared to take the elevator to the morgue on the basement floor.

With the eerie environment in that abandoned hospital, they could even smell the formaldehyde wafting up from below as they took the elevator down.

Uesugi Sakura looked into the distance, trying not to imagine that scene.

He exhaled deeply and, holding the play tickets in his hand, asked the three girls:

"Where to next?"

"Let's find a restaurant to sit down." Kyujuu Rika suggested.

"Great!" Kitagawa Sakisa raised both hands in agreement, "Let's rest first, tired from playing!"

"Hanabi, let's go." Uesugi Sakura said to Hanamaru Hanabi, who was standing behind him.

"Ah... mm..." Hanamaru Hanabi froze for a moment first, then slowly nodded.

Seeing this scene, Uesugi Sakura felt something was wrong, fearing his wife might have been scared silly.

When they were finding the way out, a female ghost suddenly appeared, almost scaring her to tears.

Now... could she really have been scared silly...
