Chapter 732 - 732: The Company's Annual Health Checkup

That evening, after dinner, Haruno happily rested her head on Ichin's lap and sighed in satisfaction.

"I'm full, I'm full! Ichin, are we having a late night snack tonight?"

Smiling, Ichin gently rubbed her head.

"We just finished dinner, and you're already thinking about a midnight snack? Aren't you worried about gaining weight?"

"Hehe."

Haruno turned onto her side and nuzzled against his stomach.

"I work out all the time. One late night snack isn't going to make me fat."

Then she shot him a flirtatious smile.

"Besides... don't I have you helping me exercise at night? That's more than enough of a workout."

Even Ichin found himself struggling to withstand Haruno's teasing. All he could do was smile helplessly.

"You're going to wear me out."

"Really? Because you always seem pretty willing. Besides, I don't think your stamina is bad at all. You exercise regularly, so I have complete faith in you!"

At that moment, Yukino came out of the kitchen carrying freshly brewed tea.

Looking at her older sister, she said,

"Big Sis, you should show a little restraint. I don't want to start making wolfberry tea for Ichin already."

Ichin blinked.

"I don't think I'm at the stage where I need wolfberry tea. At least not for another three or five years."

"Even so, you shouldn't overdo it."

After placing the tea on the table, Yukino sat beside Ichin and looked at him seriously.

"You have to take care of your health. Don't let my sister lead you astray."

"What do you mean, 'lead him astray'?"

Haruno sat upright and pouted at her younger sister.

"Isn't this perfectly normal? We're young, so of course we should enjoy ourselves! Besides, we've already agreed that I'll be the first to have a baby. Once I'm pregnant, I won't be able to spend as much time with Ichin anymore."

"That still doesn't make it okay!"

Wrapping both arms around Ichin's arm, Yukino stubbornly refused to back down.

"You're far too lacking in self restraint, Big Sis. Someone has to teach you some moderation."

The two sisters really took these kinds of debates far too seriously.

Just then, Utaha came downstairs after finishing her shower.

Seeing the three of them, she couldn't help laughing before immediately joining the discussion.

In the end, the three women reached a unanimous decision.

Ichin needed to exercise even more, and his weekly diet would include two additional nourishing meals.

It was a conclusion he definitely hadn't expected.

Still, since it was only healthy food rather than medicine or supplements, he simply let them do as they pleased.

That night, however, determined to prove that his body was in perfect condition, Ichin pulled all three of them into the bedroom...

...and demonstrated his excellent health quite thoroughly.

...

September 28th.

Today was the company's annual health checkup.

Everyone skipped breakfast before gathering at the company in the morning.

From there, they boarded a chartered bus arranged by the company and headed to the hospital.

There wasn't much to say about the men's examinations.

The women, however, were divided into several groups that entered one after another.

Aoba looked around anxiously.

When she realized she had been grouped together with Ruri Gokou and the others, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness. If it's you guys, I'm fine. But if I had been grouped with everyone else, I'd have been incredibly nervous."

Yun Iijima nodded repeatedly.

"Exactly! Luckily we weren't put in the same group as Utaha and the others. Otherwise I'd feel completely inferior."

Yun normally wore Lolita dresses that concealed her figure.

Now, dressed in the plain white examination gown, her physique, which was fairly similar to Ruri's, became much more obvious.

Ruri also nodded in agreement.

Ever since their swimming pool outing, she'd been thoroughly shocked by how amazing some of the other girls' figures were.

Today's grouping suited her perfectly.

She could finally relax and go through the examination in peace.

...

In another examination group...

Yukino stood between Hajime Shinoda on her left and Utaha on her right, her eyes filled with confusion.

Why was I assigned to this group?

This is so strange.

Not only that...

Even Nene had been placed in the same group.

After changing into the examination gown, Nene's curvy figure became impossible to ignore.

Combined with the fact that she was much shorter than Yukino, it somehow made Yukino feel even more depressed.

She looked suspiciously at Hazuki.

"Hazuki... this grouping wasn't intentional, was it?"

"Hm?"

After looking at Yukino, Hazuki immediately understood what she meant and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! No, no! I really did divide everyone randomly."

She pointed beside her.

"Look. Kō's in our group too."

The moment Hazuki finished speaking, Kō, who had just taken off her clothes in the changing room, immediately turned around.

"What exactly do you mean by that?!"

She puffed out her chest indignantly.

"My figure is great too! Great!"

After the changing room descended into a brief bout of laughter and teasing, everyone finally headed out together to begin the day's examinations.

...

As game developers, everyone spent long hours sitting in front of computers.

Although overtime wasn't particularly common, Ichin constantly encouraged everyone to exercise in the company's gym.

Even so, the preliminary examination results revealed that many employees had developed mild lower back and cervical spine problems.

Fortunately, none of the issues were serious.

However, if they weren't properly treated and prevented, they would only worsen over time.

After all, these were common occupational problems for people who spent most of their day sitting at a computer.

After finishing his own examination, Ichin listened carefully to several doctors' explanations before nodding thoughtfully.

He had already begun planning what to do next.

He decided to contact several reputable physical therapy clinics and arrange for therapists to visit the company regularly, helping employees relieve neck and lower back strain.

He had always been proactive about prevention.

The office chairs provided by the company were all high quality ergonomic models that had cost a considerable amount, which was why most employees only had minor issues.

As for the few with more serious problems...

Those were mostly caused by poor sitting posture over a long period of time.

The external examinations were essentially finished.

Now all that remained was to wait a few days for everyone's blood test results.

Once every employee had completed their checkup, Ichin took everyone to a buffet restaurant that had been reserved in advance.

They enjoyed a relaxing lunch together before returning to the company to resume work for the afternoon.

Haruno shamelessly skipped work for the day, handing everything over to her assistant.

After lunch, she came straight to Ichin's office.

Lying sideways on the sofa, she looked at the calendar on her phone.

"Ichin... it's already the end of September. There's only a little over a month until the wedding, isn't there?"

Sitting in his office chair, Ichin nodded.

"That's right. November 15th. About a month and a half left."

"We'll need to head back at least a week, maybe even ten days early, so we can prepare everything."

Most of the wedding arrangements were being handled by Ichin's parents.

Because of that, both Ichin and Utaha needed to return early, familiarize themselves with every part of the ceremony, and make sure everything went smoothly on the big day.
