Vol 8 Chapter 6 (2/2)
Looks like Hiet off the bed noto lie down like that…
“…”
“…”
Kach, Kach The sound of the hout the otherwise silent room
We didn’t talk as time steadily went by
I lay on the bed, and Hioing on? It’s like I saw this scene before…
“Well…waiting quietly like this makes me remember past events”
“Past events?”
“Yes, like during primary school”
“But our positions were completely different”
Himeji-san then said
Ahh, I see I just felt that I saw this scene before So that’s how it is
“Oh yeah, it felt like this when Himeji-san was hospitalized”
“Eh…Akihisa-kun, you still remembered?”
Himeji-san widened her eyes and looked at
“Sorry, I don’t really reuely remember that this happened”
“No, it’s good enough that you can remember that”
I’m likely unable to respond to her expectations, but Himeji-san smiled happily
“Then, Akihisa-kun…”
“Hm? What is it, Himeji-san?”
“Can I…play a little prank on you…?”
Hily asking for my permission
This doesn’t look good, and I don’t knohat she’ll do to me…
“Theon my face”
“I won’t do that”
Kuku, Hiainst that then
“Then please be gentle with me”
“Thank you Then, since I got Akihisa-kun’s permission—”
Before she finished, Himeji-san suddenly reached for her hair
“—Okay, I took it off”
She took her trades Is her so-called prank this?
“Really, I thought Hi to me…”
“Fufufu, you really look cute Akihisa-kun’s really suited for this”
It’s troubling that she would still view
“Eh…that’s weird…”
Suddenly, my mind recalled a memory
“When I was sick, I would feel lonely and anxious”
“Eh? Un, yeah, maybe”
As I don’t usually get sick, I wasn’t really certain about this, but when there’s so worth being happy about Without Himeji-san beside et home, and I’d continue to have ht?
“Not feeling well, feeling really bored, and thinking of unhappy stuff…”
People normally say that mood and body have a close relationshi+p As the heart becomes weaker, the body will fall ill; and as the body falls ill, the heart becoative thoughts I guess that’s the cost all this
“Will I be lonely forever, will everyone bully ht about this”
It was just a little saying—but what Himeji-san said etched mysteriously in my heart
“So, during that ti to be with me, which made me really feel…happy…and it’s really wonderful”
The current atmosphere made me unable to interrupt Himeji-san’s words as she slowly said her words out like she was confessing
Maybe…to us, it’s not just an ordinary saying?
“I’m back”
“Welcoh on you to work till this late”
“Sorry for being late Did Aki-kun do so to you he shouldn’t do?”
“Uu, about this…actually, Akihisa-kun had a fever”
“Oh my? He has a fever? That’s really rare”
“He’s sleeping in his room”
“I understand I’ll take a look at hi in his own room?”
“Yes, he’s sleeping in his own room”
“Let me see…ahh, he’s sound asleep”
“He was reading just now”
“Thank you, Mizuki-san, for taking care of Aki-kun while he’s sick”
“No, this is nothing”
“Eh, but that kid, really…it’s because he ran around and got caught in the rain that he fell sick I have to lecture him the next time I have a chance”
“Because Akihisa-kun always forces himself…”
“That kid’s always been like that Once so and end up being all hurt himself”
“Ahaha, that’s true”
“Or rather, that’s just like what that kid would do”
“Like what Akihisa-kun would do…is it…?”
“Yeah”
“Then…Akira-san…”
“Yes, what is it, Mizuki-san?”
“Aren’t you worried about Akihisa-kun?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Akihisa-kun would get involved and would sonore his own situation or condition”
“So you’re talking about that”
“Yes Don’t you want to stop him?”
“Well…I really want to do so into trouble…”
“Yeah”
“But if I can’t do anything and that kid wants to do it—I will respect his decision and let him do whatever he wants”
“But what’ll happen if he gets hurt?”
“Even if he gets hurt, it’s what he wants There’s nothing to say then, is there?”
“How is it…”
“That kid can’t study, is stupid and clus But…”
“But what?”
“But that kid’s straightforward personality is reatest pride as a sister”
“Akira-san…”
“So I want to treasure that straight-forward side of his”
“Akira-san…you’re really an adult”
“No, I’ an adult—”
“Instead of being an adult?”
“—I’m just an older sister who loves her little brother the most”
“U…un…?”
The next
Before , I woke up as I felt that so in on me
“Ah…sorry, did I wake you up?”
Beside my bed was Himeji-san, as about to reach her hand out to pat me—ah, she wants to check ht?
“Are you okay, Akihisa-kun?”
Unfortunately, I woke up, and Himeji-san’s hand that was stretched towards me shrank back, which I felt was a pity
“Un, ever better My cold’s all good now”
It’s not just that I don’t want to make her worry, but in fact, I don’t feel bad anywhere Thus, I grippedof which, my cold wasn’t that serious It’s because His that blood rushed up in me…
“…”
“You can’t lie, Akihisa-kun Your face is still red”
“Ahh, no, that’s because…”
That’s because I was thinking about what happened yesterday!
“Akihisa-kun, you can’t force yourself Rest well for today and cure your cold completely”
Asking me to take a break frooing to school It should be ht? More importantly—
“The i battle hasn’t ended yet Even with such a level of fighting ability, I can’t just take a break all because I got a cold”
If we lose this su battle, our distance from A class will be spread further Then, we can only continue to use those lousy facilities That’s e can’t lose
“Really, Akihisa-kun…you don’t have to worry about the suether with Akihisa-kun I’ll work even harder, so you don’t have to force yourself”
“No, but…”
“You can’t say stubborn things I won’t nag at you once you’re fully recovered”
“I don’t mean that…”
“Really, ouldn’t you listen to me? You would obey if Akira-san says it”
“That’s not aboutmoves that force me to submit…”
Looking at things now, nee-san should be out at work Is she really busy nowadays?
Looks like I don’t have to worry about being lectured and punished by her in the h of relief
However, Himeji-san said this to me,
“In that case…Akihisa-kun, if you’re not going to listen toto kiss you!”
What the heck? She’s copying nee-san? Really…
“Well…even if Hi to me—”
“…Un…”
A soft sensation brushed by my lips
“………………………Eh………………………?”
“Okay You must sleep now”
Himeji-san left these words behind, bata, closed my door and left
“………………………Eh………………………?”
Being left alone inside the roo on as I could only sit on the bed blankly
