[Izumi Toru: Mei, I'm sorry, I have something to do. I may not be able to watch the fireworks with you]
Seeing this news, Amakusa Meiyi was a little stunned.
How could something happen suddenly?
She looked up and saw that the fireworks in the night sky were still brilliant, but the girl was a little disappointed.
However, she soon put aside her feelings of disappointment.
Toru Izumi came alone to the last fireworks display of the year, and this alone was enough to satisfy her.
[Didn’t we watch the fireworks together in the forest? It was just the two of us.]
After typing such a sentence with a red face, the girl put her finger on [send] for a long time before clicking it.
Where can I watch fireworks in the forest?
It’s so embarrassing!
Also, what happened to him?
Amakusa Mei is sometimes confused and sometimes shy.
Izumi Toru, who was worried about her, walked out of the torii gate and found someone waiting for him on a bench.
At this moment, the woman was holding her arms, her body was shaking, and she looked a little pitiful.
Izumi Toru walked over.
"Are you okay?"
The woman raised her head, and Izumi Toru saw her current appearance clearly.
There were slight tears on Chu Chu's pitiful face.
Her red and swollen eyes were still sparkling with tears, and she looked like she had just cried a lot.
The woman wiped her face with the back of her hand and said, "I'm sorry, Izumi-san. I just... can't walk anymore."
Izumi Toru didn't ask why she was still here even though she clearly said she was going home, nor did he ask Sakurai Ruiko why she wasn't with her.
He just squatted in front of her, held up her foot on the clog, and asked, "Did you just twist it?"
She pursed her lips.
"You saw it. I thought I could hide the past..."
"Can you take off your socks?"
"Eh?! That..." The woman was a little flustered. She hesitated and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Izumi Toru didn't wait for her to respond, so he took off her clogs, put them aside, and then slowly took off her white socks.
Seeing the boy kneeling on one knee with his brow slightly furrowed, the woman's nervousness slowly dissipated.
Along with this, the pain also dissipated a lot.
Izumi Toru looked at her slightly red and swollen ankle and judged in his heart: It shouldn't be serious and it wouldn't be impossible to walk.
But since she said she couldn't walk, it must be that she couldn't walk.
Thinking of this, he stretched out his finger and gently poked her ankle.
"hiss!"
He raised his head and saw the woman biting the back of her hand with a look of resentment on her face. He asked, "Does it hurt?"
"Um."
Izumi Tetsu's eyes narrowed.
"It looks very serious. If not handled properly, there may be a risk of amputation."
Upon hearing this, the woman turned pale with fright.
"What?!"
After admiring her look of being frightened to tears for a while, Izumi Toru said: "However, if it is handled properly, it will be fine in a few days."
"Oh..." The woman patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she realized that Izumi Toru was teasing her on purpose.
She bit her lower lip and rolled her eyes at him.
"Izumi-san, this is really a bad idea."
Izumi Toru scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.
But in this way, most of the melancholy between the woman's brows disappeared.
"Let's go, I'll take you to deal with your injuries."
With that said, Izumi Toru turned around and turned his back to her, indicating that he was carrying her on his back.
The woman didn't refuse and immediately put her hands on his shoulders.
With a little effort, Izumi Toru lifted her up on his back.
What surprised him was that he always felt that the woman on his back was slightly heavier than the others.
I will be in the basement that day...
Izumi Toru hurriedly shook his head and shook the thoughts that had just occurred out of his mind.
I promised her that I would forget it.
How can you remember it?
Moreover, although it is a bit heavier, it is easy to carry for me who has already strengthened my physical fitness.
Izumi Toru didn't ask, but the woman asked a little embarrassedly: "Izumi-san, am I very heavy?"
"It's nothing, it's very minor."
In order to show that there was no problem with his words, Izumi Toru used his hands slightly to lift her up on her back, indicating that it was easy.
But this approach made the woman's face turn red.
Izumi Toru waited for a while, but the woman didn't speak, and he realized what she was doing.
When carrying it, it's best not to make any unnecessary movements.
He could only remain silent and walk towards the nearby small hospital.
After a while, the woman suddenly spoke and shouted in his ear: "Izumi-san."
"Um."
"Can you please not go to the hospital? I don't want others to see it."
The woman breathed out a faint orchid breath, and there was a hint of grace in her voice. Izumi Toru's spirit was also in a trance.
As he walked, he asked: "Where to go? Although it won't be as serious as amputation. But if you don't handle it properly, it may aggravate the injury."
"How about Qingshui Residence?"
Izumi Tetsu paused in his steps.
The woman didn't speak, just waiting for his response.
After a long silence, Izumi Toru said "hmm".
Her arms tightened slightly.
The whole journey was silent.
Due to physical reasons, Asatsuki Koine was unable to go to crowded places, and naturally was unable to participate in the fireworks festival.
Therefore, when she learned that Toru Izumi and Mei Amakusa were going to attend the fireworks festival, she sent a message to Toru Izumi that they would work overtime.
This is why Izumi Tetsu carried her to Qingshui Residence with peace of mind.
Otherwise, it would be bad if she met Asazuki Hongyin.
After all, what Asazuki's family left for her shouldn't be such a good memory.
etc!
Has a similar situation happened before?
Izumi Toru suddenly thought: Sakurai Ruiko was also like this at the beginning.
He also deliberately concealed her whereabouts from Asatsuki Hongyin.
Seeing that he opened the door and did not come in for a long time, the woman was a little confused.
"Izumi-san? What's wrong with you?"
Izumi Toru shook his head and did not answer.
He thought silently: History is always surprisingly similar.
After placing the woman on the bed and sitting down, Izumi Toru took out the medical kit and skillfully treated her injuries.
"Izumi-san, it looks like you are very skilled."
"Yes, after all, Sakurai-san was also..."
Before he finished speaking, the expressions of both people changed.
After a long time, the woman said quietly: "Speaking of which, you did the same thing to Leizi."
"......Um."
There was silence again for a while.
The woman raised her feet, placed them on his knees, and gently touched the bandaged area.
"Izumi-san, do you know?"
"What?"
"If a girl's feet are touched by a boy, she must marry that boy in order to be happy."
Izumi Tetsu lowered his eyes.
"Really? That's really unfortunate."
"She will fall asleep every night holding the doll you gave her..."
"......Um."
The woman stared at Izumi Toru, who had not looked at her, and asked: "What do you plan to do to her?"
Izumi Tetsu finally raised his head.
"Then what are your plans?"
Her eyes were confused for a moment.
"Wha, what?"
Izumi Toru put her legs on the bed and stood up.
"Tell me, why are you waiting for me?"
There was heavy pressure in his eyes.
This time the woman looked away.
Her fists clenched and relaxed several times, and finally relaxed weakly.
"But it's just a trivial revenge that a deceived woman can take. Am I wrong?"
Although her face was pale and she looked very pitiful, Izumi Tetsu was not soft-hearted at all.
"Since you ask that, you must also think it is wrong, right?"
"......yes."
"Then do you still want to continue?"
"certainly!"
This time, her tone was firm and strong.
"I can rest assured that."
"Huh?" The woman was suddenly a little surprised.
Raising his head, Izumi Toru winked at her.
"I'm not a good person either. A bad woman is just fine."
There was something hidden in the young man's dark pupils that made her heart beat wildly.
