The smooth and monotonous electronic sound repeats in my ears.
Slowly opening his eyes, he saw an unfamiliar ceiling.
Bright incandescent lamps shine overhead, and a faint smell of disinfectant fills the air.
"……here it is……?"
With a little confusion, the girl murmured.
I moved my somewhat stiff fingers, and a weak and slightly cold feeling came from my right hand.
Subconsciously looking over there, a transparent infusion tube appeared in her eyes. One end was connected to the back of her hand, and the other end was connected to a bag of liquid on the rack beside the bed.
After spending about three seconds to sort out the situation, Sayu tried to sit up from the bed while holding on to his somewhat weak body.
At the same time, a slender figure walked in from outside the room holding a hot water bottle.
Their eyes collided.
The next second.
"Sayuki?!"
A blond girl wearing a plaid skirt and uniform rushed forward.
"Is your body okay now? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else? Really~~ You make me so worried!"
Facing Asami who was holding him in her arms, Sayu couldn't help but coughed twice, then cleared her throat and said.
"...I'm sorry for making you worry...but where is this?"
His voice was still pleasant to the ear, but it was unavoidable that he was a bit weak.
"It's a hospital, a hospital!"
Asami grabbed her shoulders and explained: "Don't you remember? Because you fainted in the apartment and looked in pain, I took you to the hospital..."
After hearing what the other party said, Sayu frowned slightly in thought.
Vaguely, there does seem to be a similar picture emerging in my mind.
But immediately, her expression suddenly changed.
"That, Yaguchi him!"
With a trembling voice, Sayu asked Mami worriedly: "How is that person doing??"
It was obvious that a shadow was cast between Asami's eyebrows.
"You can't move now--!"
First, he helped the other person lie down, and then responded in a deep voice: "That bastard had already escaped, just when I arrived."
After sighing, Asami continued: "I'm talking about Sayu, sister. Generally speaking, wouldn't it be better to call the police when encountering this kind of thing? So why did you stop me?"
The gaze that came with a hint of inquiry made the girl's body freeze up.
"That...that...Asami...this...I..."
I hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a complete explanation.
Faced with this problem, even Sayu herself didn't know whether she was going to defend or tell the truth. She just kept moving her lips and spoke in order to erase the silence.
"Beep...beep...beep...beep."
The heart rate on the screen began to change, and the breathing became shorter and shorter.
"that……"
"it's okay."
"……Huh?"
Just when Sayu was at a loss, Asami suddenly shook her head and said, "You don't have to force yourself to say it."
"..."
Looking into the eyes of her who had lost the ability to speak, Asami said this with a serious expression on her face that she had never shown.
"If you want to tell me, then I will listen to you. But the current situation doesn't look like it. Your face has turned pale."
She pulled up a chair and sat down next to the bed. The other party held her hand with both hands and comforted her softly at a slow speed.
"Because Sayu-ki, you don't have to tell people you don't want to talk about things you don't want to talk about. So, if you want to tell me one day, just tell me then... okay?"
"...Uh!...Hmm."
A warm touch came from his hand, and Sayu, who was speechless, couldn't help but sniff when he heard the other person's considerate words.
A kind of warmth gradually welled up from the depths of his eyes, and tears began to accumulate in the corners of his eyes.
The faces of Kato Yusuke and Asami kept alternating in his mind, recalling the past encounters between them since arriving in Tokyo.
There is another ray of sunshine in the girl's heart.
Even if she didn't get to the bottom of it, with Mami's keen character, she might have noticed a lot of things. But the other party still chose to respect her decision. This tenderness not only made Sayu feel redeemed, but also made her chest ache.
Inexplicably uncomfortable.
Suddenly, she reached out and hugged Asami beside her.
"...Thank you, Asami...woo..."
Accompanied by a strong nasal sound of thanks and inhalation, finally... a small whimper began to sound in the room.
The tears that had been held back burst out from the corners of her eyes, leaving two tear stains on the girl's moon-like face.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry... don't cry." Asami responded, patting her back lightly.
Because she put her face on the other person's shoulder, Sayu couldn't see Asami's expression at this time, but she could clearly feel that her voice was also full of nasal sounds.
In this single ward, two girls who had an emotional outburst hugged each other and cried loudly.
Outside the ward, a slender figure was standing against the wall.
A pair of eyes soaked in twilight looked unconsciously at the wall above their head, which was flickering with flickering light.
It is both like ice and fire.
After listening to this for about dozens of minutes.
Kato Yusuke took out his mobile phone from his pocket and sent a message to the girl.
——"I'm going to buy something and I'll be right back."
"Yaguchi Kyouya...?" Chewing the name in his mouth, he raised his feet and walked outside.
At the same time, a small black instrument suddenly appeared in the palm of my hand.
Raising his hand and placing it near his mouth, the young man recited a few words in a low voice.
With a wave of water swaying, a white arrow appeared clearly on the interface.
…
Wait until the two women's emotions have almost calmed down.
"Excuse me, have you finished injecting the nutrient solution here?"
With the "swish" sound of the door, a nurse in white uniform opened the door.
He turned his body slightly to let the doctor behind him enter the room first, and then the former followed.
The two of them came to the bedside together.
First, the syringe that had just finished infusion was pulled out for the girl, and then there was a series of routine inspections.
The man who looked like a doctor nodded thoughtfully, "Well, there is no problem anymore. You can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. After that, you just need to rest at home for two days."
"Ah, okay. Thank you, doctor." Shad nodded and thanked him.
Asami couldn't help but ask: "Is it really okay? But Sayu fainted after kissing her, doctor."
To this, the other party responded with a smile.
"Please rest assured, after all, he is a patient assigned by Representative Yuuki, and we will not treat him carelessly. Although this young lady may have seemed very serious at the time, it is not like that. Even if she does not come to the hospital, she can survive on her own.
The self-healing ability has recovered, so it doesn’t matter.”
The information revealed in the words made Sayu couldn't help but glance at his friend, his eyes were very surprised.
After hearing what the doctor said, Asami didn't ask any more questions, but just said thank you in the same way.
Seeing this, the doctor and nurse left without further interruption and quickly left.
After sending them away, Asami turned around and asked, "Well, it's already this time. Are you hungry, Sayu-chan? Is there anything you want to eat?"
The tone of conversation was the same as usual, but Sayu still felt a subtle change in the other person's body.
As a person who is equally sensitive in this regard, the girl did not ask any further questions.
So he nodded and said, "It sounds like I'm a little hungry..."
Looking around the room, Sayu tilted his head slightly and said, "What about Asami... Yusuke, didn't he come here?"
"Um?"
Hearing what the other party said, Asami couldn't help but frowned, "No, speaking of which, he said he wanted to go to the bathroom before. I think it's almost time to come back."
Exhaling also looked uncertain.
Seeing this, Sayu subconsciously looked for his mobile phone, and successfully found the target on the cabinet beside the bed.
Reach out and take it in your hand, and enter Line's communication interface.
The boy's message from 15 minutes ago popped up.
Without hesitation, she immediately called.
After a long wait, there was still no response to the call.
Inexplicably, a feeling of panic emerged from my heart.
Facing Mami's confused look, Sayu suddenly raised his head and said, "Well! I'm sorry Mami, I have to find Yusuke immediately. Can you help me get discharged from the hospital?"
