In the hospital, somewhere in a normal ward.
Osamu Uesugi and Naoha Kiritani were worried about the girl they had met before, so they had to put down their plans to go home and send her to the hospital.
Shika Asala was lying on the bed in a semi-conscious state. The nurse who was holding the notebook said to Osamu Uesugi and Osamu Uesugi.
"According to the patient's medical records, we found that the patient has actually experienced similar situations many times before, but it's not life-threatening.”
"Then, Miss Nurse, can you tell us the reason why she became like this?”
Osamu Uesugi looked at the girl lying on the bed, mumbling something indistinctly. He could not help but feel a little heartache.
"I'm sorry, but the hospital has a rule. Judging from the patient's symptoms, it seems like she has suffered a serious psychological trauma.”
"I see. I was rude.”
It must be…it must be that incident when they were young.
Shiino Asala was involved in a bank robbery incident when she was a child. She was traumatized by the fact that she shot the robber who threatened her mother in the real world. He had a strong fear of guns and was called a murderer in school.
She was clearly a girl of the same age as a flower, but she had been bullied because of the shadow of murder in her childhood. She had lived humbly under the strange eyes of others for so many years. Sometimes, she could even see the disgust and fear hidden in the depths of her biological mother's eyes.
She was already numb to life, and she was also bullied by her classmates today. If it wasn't for Osamu Uesugi's help, she might have lost a portion of her living expenses this month.
"Damn it! If she continues like this, she definitely won't be able to do it.”
Even though he had never experienced that kind of dark life, Osamu Uesugi could still imagine how much pressure the girl's weak body had to endure. Her teeth were clenched tightly, and her hands were clenched into fists.
"Senior, are you alright?"
Naoha Kiritani, who was beside him, noticed the gloomy expression on Osamu Uesugi's face. He seemed to be surprised that the usually gentle and amiable Senpai was so worried about a girl he did not know. Feeling a little uncomfortable, Naoha Kiritani took the initiative to reach out and hold Osamu Uesugi's arm.
"It's okay, Naogawa. I just feel a little unworthy for this girl.”
"Hmm?"
Kiritani Naoha, who did not know about Asala Shino's experience, naturally did not understand Uesugi Shuu's words. However, the kind-hearted Kiritani Naoha also could not stand the actions of the girls this afternoon. She nodded in agreement.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, please leave the ward first. The patient needs to rest alone, so don't disturb her.”
With the principle of being responsible for the patient, although the nurse at the hospital admired the two of them for helping their classmates, she still reminded them to leave as soon as possible.
"I understand, Miss Nurse. When will she get better?”
Osamu Uesugi asked about Shino Asala's recovery with concern, and the nurse who had a good impression of the two of them replied readily.
"There's no need to think about it tonight. If you want to come, wait until tomorrow.”
After getting the answer he wanted, Osamu Uesugi quickly pulled Kiritani Naoba out of the ward, leaving the nurse and the unconscious Asala Shino in the same room.
"Well, I'm really sorry. It's so late and Senior is still sending me home.”
" It's alright. We're very close to each other anyway, so I'll just take care of my cute junior. After all, something like that happened on campus, so I don't dare to let you go home alone.”
It was already late when he came out of the hospital. As he was worried about Kiritani Naoko walking home alone at night, Osamu Uesugi once again acted like a gentleman and offered to send her home.
However, there was no bicycle to ride this time. There was still a long way to go from the hospital to home. It seemed like it would take a long time.
Shuu Uesugi looked at Kiritani Naoha beside him, who did not seem to be worried about the long journey at all. The sweet smile on his face made Shuu Uesugi instantly throw all his worries to the back of his head and no longer care about them.
"That…I've been wanting to ask since just now. Senpai seems to be very familiar with Shino-san.”
Naoha Kiritani carefully voiced out the doubts in his heart as he observed Osamu Uesugi's expression, afraid that he would be displeased.
"Sigh! Was it that obvious?"
Osamu Uesugi subconsciously scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
"Of course there is. Senior's eyes are almost fixed on him.”
Actually, Kiritani Naoba was also a little jealous. It was clearly the Uesugi-senpai that she had admired for a long time, but in the end, he was so concerned about a girl that she had coincidentally met. The girl felt very uncomfortable.
"Actually, I'm not very familiar with him. I've only heard some rumors before. Haha, Naoba, don't mind it.”
"What rumors? Quickly tell me."
The curious Kiritani Naoha obviously couldn't be fooled by Osamu Uesugi's joke. She was determined to find out what was going on, so she reached out and pulled Osamu Uesugi's ears.
"Tell-me-"
Standing on tiptoe, Kiritani Naoha shouted into Osamu Uesugi's ear. The expression on his face seemed to say," If you don't tell me, I'll teach you a lesson."
"I'll talk, I'll talk. Naokiya, let go first!”
