Vol 4 Chapter 12 (1/2)
So, just like they said, my cold was cured in one day
That was impressive, if I do say so myself I did feel some traces of sickness, and parts of my body still felt heavy, so I wasn’t completely cured Indeed, I was still stuck inin rateful to everyone who had nursed iven me the resolve to recover
I guess it was true that health and sickness start in the mind
“Jeez Ye gotta take better care of yer body, ya know?”
Prez smiled She had come to visit me
“And here the doc said ya had to rest for three or four days He wasn’t some quack, was he? Just in case, I had picked him since he had best reputation ‘round here”
“Well,points”
“Nono Even if yer sturdy, yer body was so broken that ya collapsed It wasn’t soenius in feigning illness? You could make your tonsils swell and control yer body temperature?”
“I can’t do that…”
Incidentally, the ninja in Yas
“Well, in any case, I’lad it didn’t turn into anything serious”
“What are you saying? As I’ve said before, it was only because I didn’t take care of myself It’s not your fault at all”
“That ht be how ya see it, but I see it differently I’ll ht?”
This was the forever unyielding prez, single-minded and impossibly stubborn
“By the way, Himenokouji Akito Who won?”
“…? Won what?”
“Who was the MVP nurse?”
Ah
Now that she otten
“Of course, it ain’t a competition, and I only proposed it to calive the girls peace of s”
“Well, that ot to choose?”
“Who else could?”
“Well, you, for one?”
“Don’t talk like an idiot Ae thee, not me”
“Well, that ht be true, but…”
“For them, this is ie ’ee ’em on your own terms
I reluctantly considered it
Nasuhara-san —— Well, I can’t really call that nursing, but nonetheless, her spirit got through toher two- her lack of wisdo about her ‘nursing’
Ginbei —— She had essentially givenout every folk remedy and nutritional supplement in existence Their efficacy aside, she put a lot of effort into it, and it was heartwar Honestly, I didn’t knohy she’d even sleep with ht, and it definitely helped ically
And Akiko —— Yeah, she was the strongest in a way On top of understanding exactly what I wanted, her splendid nursing had an unmistakably familial touch to it At the same time, she totally threw off her usual character I was struck by her enthusias just like a Bosatsu or Kannon It wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that she nursed me with all she had
I was grateful to all of the one over the others was entirely absurd
On top of that, I’d make matters worse no in with It would be best to call it a draw But if I had to pick, I guess I’d have to make them do penalty kicks, like they do in football…
“I understand Then I’ll pick”
“Aight Come at me”
“Let h I can choose however I want, right?”
“Ye, of course You’re the only judge There ain’t any grading systeure skatin’ Yer may pick the winner however ye like No prob”
“I understand Well then, I’ll tell you my conclusion”
I wasn’t reluctant to reply, but I took a deep breath nonetheless
And, like she said, I chose a winner on my own terms
“This time, the MVP is prez”
“…Haa?”
“It’s you, prez Nikaidou Arashi+, you’re the charatulations!”
“Nono What are ya sayin’?”
Prez recovered from her puzzled expression and looked down on me, shocked
“Ya listenin’ to what people say? I told’cha to choose who did the best nursin’, aight?”
“Yeah That’s why I chose prez”
“…No, The ones who nursed ya were gold, silver, and black hair, right? I didn’t give you one pill and didn’t feed’cha one bite Nor did I put a wet towel on yer forehead or checked yer temperature Well, I did pick the doc, but…”
