Ignoring his attempts to stop her, Toyokawa Shoko reached out and pressed her hand onto the blanket, forcefully pulling it off!
"I'm super, don't--"
The ward seemed to have been muted.
Toyokawa Shoko looked down at Nagasaki Motoyo, whose face was flushed and whose eyes were darting around, and then at Koshimura Sawa, who looked utterly hopeless.
"Soyo?!" The girl's worried expression instantly turned into shock. "What are you doing here?"
Nagasaki Motoyo looked at her and gave an awkward smile: "Hi... Sho, what a coincidence..."
A. "It's okay, we're just rehearsing."
[B. "Nagasaki-kun and I just had a bit of an argument..."]
[C. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gotten into Nagasaki-kun's bed. I'll go back right now!"]
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gotten into Nagasaki-kun's bed. I'll go back right now!" Koshimura Sawa quickly got up.
"Come back here!" Toyokawa Shoko pulled him back, asking incredulously, "What happened? Why is Soyo here too?"
"This..." Nagasaki Motoyo lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers, saying softly, "Don't you remember, Sho? You're the one who beat me up like this..."
Toyokawa Shoko was taken aback; it seemed to be true.
"I'm sorry, Desuwa!" she said hastily, "Because I was in such a hurry, and I accidentally... wait."
She grabbed the blanket and plopped down on Yue Cunze's bed, her golden eyes sharpening once more, sweeping across the two people on the hospital bed like searchlights.
"What does this have to do with you two sharing a bed?"
[My goodness, as expected of the most intelligent mage, he grasped the crux of the problem immediately!]
"That's a long story..." Yuecunze cleared his throat. "Have you heard the tale of the chivalrous knight-errant? In the second year of the Yuanhe era, the Huashan family was ravaged by bandits..."
[We've tasted enough, hurry up and take it away (annoyed)]
Just as Toyokawa Shoko was about to interrupt the chanting and continue asking questions, a series of urgent knocks suddenly sounded on the ward door.
Immediately following was a very flat-sounding voice.
"Sawarin~ Xiaodeng and I have come to see you, may we come in?"
lamp?!
Toyokawa Shoko's pupils contracted sharply, and her expression was instantly replaced by panic. Under the dumbfounded gazes of Koshimura Sawa and Nagasaki Motoyo, she pulled back the covers and scrambled inside.
what?
Teacher Da Xiang, what kind of operation is this?
The door to the ward creaked open, and Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari walked in carrying a fruit basket that looked very high-end.
As soon as she saw him, Chihaya Aine's eyes reddened. She ran all the way, put the fruit basket on the bedside table, and leaned against the bed.
"Sawarin...you just disappeared all of a sudden, not answering your calls or replying to your messages, and then you didn't come to school all day. Do you know how worried I was about you..." The girl's voice trembled with tears. "Luckily, Wen Shui said he knew you were here, so Xiao Deng and I rushed over as soon as school was over..."
Rude Wen Shui and Yan, you'll see if I go back and do what I want, then it'll be over.
Let's play your favorite monster girl versus hero game. I'll be the hero, and you'll be the monster girl.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry," Yuecunze smiled at her, trying to sound relaxed. "Look, I'm perfectly fine."
"Hmm..." Chihaya Aine nodded with red eyes, turning back to look at Takamatsu Akari, who had almost shrunk into the corner of the wall.
"Little Lamp, what are you doing standing so far away? Aren't you coming over?"
Gao Songdeng lowered his head, hesitated for several seconds, and then spoke in a low voice.
"My dad just called and told me to stay away from my classmates in Yuecun..."
Wow, that's a really fast defensive rotation! Is this the mindset of the older generation of professionals?
She glanced up at Koshimura Sawa quickly, then looked down again and stepped forward: "But... Koshimura-kun is my hero! So... I've decided not to listen to Dad for now."
Well done, Dengbao! Well done!
"Koshimura-kun..." Takamatsu Akari moved closer, looking curiously at the IV line extending into his blanket, "Are you getting an IV drip?"
"Ah, yes, yes..." Koshimura nodded quickly, "Give them some nutrient solution, replenish their magic power or something..."
“But…” Takamatsu Akari tilted her head slightly and pointed to Koshimura Sawa’s hands, which were pressed against the blanket, “Both of your hands are outside the blanket, aren’t they?”
"Where should that IV drip be inserted?"
"..."
You didn't do a good job, Lamp Treasure.
Chihaya Aine looked at the IV tube with a puzzled expression, then at Koshimura Sawa's stiff hands.
"Haha...because that's stuck in your foot..." Koshimura Sawa chuckled dryly.
"I see..." Takamatsu Akari nodded thoughtfully.
But Chihaya Aine was clearly not so easily fooled; a hint of suspicion flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"Speaking of which..." She looked around, her gaze sweeping over the two empty beds next to her that clearly showed signs of having been lain in, "This seems to be a three-person ward, right? Where are the others? Did they go out?"
"I guess so!" Koshimura felt cold sweat soaking the back of his hospital gown. "Anyway, when I woke up, I was all alone."
He is now caught in a pincer movement, making it very difficult for him to even speak.
Nagasaki Motoyo was huddled to his right, her legs tightly wrapped around his thigh.
Toyokawa Shoko lay on his left in an extremely awkward position, her warm breath constantly hitting his chest.
The powerful gravitational field trapped him firmly in the middle, unable to move, and he could only move his numb right leg with extreme difficulty—
"Ha~"
Just then, a suppressed groan suddenly came from under the covers.
Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Miyabi. At the same time, they all turned their heads and looked at his bulging blanket.
Koshimura closed his eyes in despair.
Tired, destroy it.
Gao Songdeng subconsciously took a half step back.
Chihaya Aine revealed a resolute look in her eyes and reached out to grab a corner of the blanket.
"brush--!"
"I'd like to see what you've been hiding... Shoko-kun?" Chihaya Aine covered her mouth in surprise.
"...Soyo?" Takamatsu Akari looked at Nagasaki Soyo lying on the hospital bed and said in confusion.
"Well..." Nagasaki Motoyo ran her fingers through her hair, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace. "The situation is a little complicated..."
"Please don't misunderstand Desuwa!" Toyokawa Shoko's face turned almost blood red as she quickly looked up to explain, "This is just... uh... we were..."
"No, this position itself is wrong, isn't it?" Chihaya Aine had already knelt on the edge of the bed, anxiously reaching out to grab Nagasaki Motoyo, and said in embarrassment and annoyance, "And Soyorin, why did you make that kind of sound?!"
Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open with a creak.
Shiina Tatsuki walked in carrying a fruit basket: "Koshimura? Rinrinko told me you were here... uh?"
Her voice stopped abruptly.
Her gaze swept quietly over Koshimura Sawa lying on the bed, looking utterly hopeless; Nagasaki Motoyo, her clothes disheveled and eyes darting around; Toyokawa Shoko, her face flushed and flustered, covering her own face with her hands; Chihaya Aine, who was lying on the bed and tugging at Nagasaki Motoyo's clothes; and Takamatsu Akari, who stood to the side looking confused.
[What kind of hellish drawing?]
"what?"
...send.
Shiina Riki stared wide-eyed at the purple scene, frozen in place, feeling as if her CPU was no longer able to process it.
After a moment's thought, she silently withdrew and closed the door with extremely gentle movements.
Then he pushed it away again.
"--ha?!!"
Does this scene seem familiar...? Wait, now is not the time to think about that.
Koshimura Sawa watched as Shiina Tatsuki walked towards him mechanically, head down, eyes hidden in the shadows of her bangs.
[Now playing - The Dancer of the Irithyll of the Valley]
No, who started the boss fight?
I haven't even touched the campfire yet!
Koshimura felt his brain working at lightning speed.
But soon, there was no need to think about it anymore.
[A. "We really are rehearsing."]
B. Pats the remaining empty space on the bed and says, "Come on, there's still room for you."
【C. "This...this...who crammed so many people into my bed?!"】
finally...
A relieved smile appeared on Koshimura's face as he reached out and gently patted his side.
"Come on, Lixi. Don't stand there, it's tiring."
"There's still a seat reserved for you."
Shiina Tatsuki stopped in her tracks.
He bent down and gently placed the fruit basket on the ground.
He then raised his hand and summoned his sword.
"Koshi-mura-zawa!!!"
Chapter 3: Century-Level Wrapped Sushi (5.6k)
"Ugh..." Chihaya Aine rubbed her head, which had been bruised by the sword hilt, and looked tearfully at Nagasaki Motoyo and Koshimura Sawa, who were also rubbing their heads. "So... why did I have to get hit too..."
“For someone who’s already bloodthirsty, begging for mercy is useless,” Koshimura Sawa replied.
"But Takamatsu is alright too, isn't she?" Chihaya Aine turned to look at Takamatsu Takamatsu, who had escaped unharmed.
“This is a matter of code priority,” said Koshimura Sawa seriously. “Just like when Hakimi was rescued from the water, the first thing he did was to breathe on the person who rescued him. The priority of the Light Guard gene is obviously higher than the breathing gene.”
"Hey, I only refrained from hitting you hard because you're injured!" Shiina Riki suddenly turned around and gave him a disapproving look.
"Yes, yes..." Koshimura Sawa raised his hands and said helplessly.
Shiina Tatsuki snorted softly, turned to look at Toyokawa Shoko, and took a deep breath: "So... was this the reason you were so determined to quit Crychic before?"
"Yes." Toyokawa Shoko stood up and bowed deeply to everyone present. "I'm so sorry for hiding this from you all for so long and leaving without saying goodbye in that way, causing you so much trouble..."
"No, no—" Shiina Riki also stood up, looking flustered, and waved her hands repeatedly, "We never said we were blaming you... After all, something like this has happened, no one could do anything about it."
"And..." her voice trailed off, "I was also at fault."
"I went too far with what I said back then," she added somewhat awkwardly. "It's just... at Crychic, I didn't consider your feelings. I'm sorry."
"Huh?" Toyokawa Shoko was stunned, her golden eyes widening slightly. "You...aren't you angry with me?"
"How could this be?" Nagasaki Motoyo stood up at some point, her eyes softening as she looked at her mechanical arm. "After something like this happened... shouldn't it be Sho who's been hurt the most and is in the most pain?"
She stepped forward and gently took Toyokawa Shoko's intact hand in hers.
"Even if you feel angry and confused at first... no one will hate Xiao Xiang after learning the truth."
She turned to look at Gao Songdeng and asked softly, "Xiaodeng thinks so too, right?"
"Yes." Gao Songdeng nodded vigorously and said with utmost seriousness, "Xiao Xiang is right... I am indeed the one who needs the most practice."
"So I'm still studying hard, wanting to become better and a qualified bard."
"The time I spent with Xiao Xiang and everyone in the adventure team was the happiest time of my life... Xiao Xiang made me sing out my inner voice and told me that my singing could also bring strength to others, so I have always... always wanted to thank Xiao Xiang properly."
"Everyone..." Toyokawa Shoko was completely taken aback by this situation and looked at them helplessly, her eyes quickly welling up with tears.
