After leaving Toyonosaki, Natsuyu hurried along the way, and soon came to Otonogihan Academy.

At this time, it was not long after school, and the students had not yet finished, and many people could be seen still staying in the school, laughing and walking together.

Well, needless to say, it's all girls. After all, Otonogizaki is a private girls' high school.

Standing in front of such a girls' high school, Xia You, who is a boy and wears the uniform of another school, is naturally very conspicuous, attracting a lot of curious eyes for a while.

Faintly listening, you can still hear their low discussions.

"Oh, look, that boy over there is a little handsome. ”

"Where, where, I want to see handsome guys!"

"Right there!

"Oh~ I saw it, you're talking about that boy, right? Hmm, it's really good-looking, but he's a little shorter. I almost didn't see it. ”

Tsk, I'm sorry to be short!

Xia You had a black line, and he didn't expect to be stabbed inexplicably when he came here.

But what can he do? He's so short and desperate.

"Ahh

At the right time, a female voice full of joy came, which made Xia You's thoughts break. He followed the prestige, and saw a young lady with a double ponytail tied with a ribbon next to the guardhouse of the academy waving at him with a smile.

With the wave of his arms, his slender purple hair swayed, and his chest line, which far exceeded the average of female high school students, swayed back and forth.

The choppy momentum is water-watering...... Oh no, it's dazzling.

- That young lady is none other than Nozomi Tojo.

The girl standing next to Nozomi Tojo was equally tall and tall, and she was not lost at all. The gentle jade face and the blue eyes and sun-bright blonde hair complement each other, making her both Eastern and Western women beautiful.

Like Nozomi Tojo, Eri Ayase apparently paid attention to Natsuyu and winked at him. But she didn't go over immediately, but first said a few words to a few girls who seemed to be school girls around her.

Most of them are saying what they will see tomorrow.

Because after saying that, the girls quickly waved away.

Immediately, Eri Ayase and the two walked towards this. As soon as they arrived, Xia You opened his mouth to greet them first.

"Eri, Nozomi, I've kept you waiting. ”

"It's nothing, Nozomi and I just came out of the student council. ”

Eri Ayase smiled and shook her head.

After a few words of greeting, Xia You didn't procrastinate anymore and went straight to the point. He asked with a slight frown.

"What the hell happened, and why did Mahime suddenly get hospitalized?"

Although they don't see each other often, he and Mahime chat with each other every day, and they also make porridge on the phone from time to time. It stands to reason that it's impossible to get sick all of a sudden, right?

…… However, then again, Mahime did mumble to him recently that he had practiced hard to prepare for his next performance.

Could it be for this reason?

"Xia Jun, don't worry. Let's talk while we go? Just in time to visit Mahime at the hospital. ”

Looking around, Nozomi Tojo smiled bitterly and persuaded him.

It's really inconvenient to speak in Otonokisaka. After all, she and Eri are so recognizable that most students recognize them. And Xia You is a man, which is no more eye-catching.

The combination of men and women inevitably aroused the curiosity of the students, especially the girls' high school students, who rarely socialized with boys.

No, there are a lot of people secretly watching here.

"Good. ”

Xia You had no objection.

So the three of them walked together and walked towards Nishikino General Hospital.

On the way, Eri Ayase and Nozomi Tojo told Natsuyu about the matter one by one. It wasn't until they finished talking that he finally understood the details.

As Xia You guessed before, Mahime was really too tired from practicing recently, and her health was not very good, so she accidentally fell ill for a while.

Fortunately, it was not a serious illness, just a cold and fever. Oh, and a bit of an old problem with low blood sugar.

Originally, this level of illness could have been recuperated at home, but she couldn't stand the insistence of Mahime's mother, so Mahime finally transferred to the general hospital opened by her family to rest and take a few bottles of glucose drips.

After one more re-examination, you can be discharged from the hospital after confirming that you are fine.

"That's ......"

Xia You patted his chest and let out a long breath.

Previously, when he learned that Mahime was hospitalized on the phone, he was stunned, thinking that something had happened, and all kinds of bad speculations came to his mind.

For a while, he couldn't take care of letting Xia Yu connect with Mashiro to go home, so he temporarily asked Megumi to run for him and left Toyonozaki in a hurry, and quickly rushed to Otonoki Han Academy.

And then the rest of the story is as described above.

Right now, in addition to feeling relieved to learn that Mahime's condition is not serious, Xia You still feels very guilty. No matter how you look at it, his boyfriend has failed too much.

It's okay if I don't usually go to her, and it's okay if I have ghosts with other girls, but now he didn't even know that his girlfriend was sick and hospitalized.

To do this, even Xia You wanted to punch himself hard.

…… I'm really an out-and-out scumbag.

On the side, noticing Xia You's self-blame on his face, and even the small movements of his hands clenched subconsciously, the two women couldn't help but glance at each other, and they seemed to have realized in surprise.

"Anyway...... What about the others? Aren't they going to visit Mahime together?"

Not noticing the strange look on the faces of Eri Ayase and Nozomi Tojo, Natsuyu suddenly remembered something, looked sideways at them and asked.

"Sui Naiguo, they rushed to the hospital as soon as they got out of school. INTERVIEWER Now, you're probably home, right?"

Eri Ayase glanced down at her watch and confirmed the time.

Nozomi Tojo smiled and said, "Originally, we planned to go to the hospital to visit Mahime together after school, but considering that there were too many people, it might affect her rest, so we changed it to a batch." ”

- First the first year group, then the second year group, and finally the third year group.

She raised her index, middle, and ring fingers one after the other, figuratively illustrating.

"That's right. - What about Nicole? Why didn't she come?"

First nodded knowingly, and then Xia You asked puzzled.

Although Nicole Yazawa is very small and ranks last among the Muse Nine, she is actually a third-year student who is about to graduate, just like Eri and Nozomi.

"Nicole, she skipped class early and rushed to the hospital before school got out of school in the afternoon. ”

Shaking her head, Eri Ayase's tone was amused.

Seriously, if it weren't for Nicole's email asking her to take a leave of absence, Eri really didn't expect Nicole to do this. After all, among the nine Muses, she is the one who quarrels with Mahime the most.

…… It's all tsundere.

After chatting for a while, the three of them finally came to Nishikino General Hospital.

After all, it is the best hospital in the local area, and you can see a lot of people coming in and out, and there is a large row of private cars parked outside, most of which are driven by family members who come to visit the patient.

After the three of them entered the hospital, they asked the nurse in front of the counter about the location, and after asking how to get to the inpatient department, they rushed over without stopping.

☆

On the other side, the fifth floor of the inpatient department, the individual ward.

Maki Nishikino sits on a white hospital bed with a pillow behind her. Looking sideways at the slanting sun outside the window, a line of geese swept by, and she couldn't help but sigh faintly.

"Oh, it's boring, I really don't want to be here...... Speaking of which, it's all to blame on my mother, and the doctors all said that they would be hospitalized if they were fine. Really!"

With her mouth puffed up, she muttered dissatisfiedly.

That little face was almost written with the word 'depressed' at the moment.

At the right time, a series of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and Nishikino Mahime was stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly remembered something, and suddenly her eyebrows were overjoyed.

She remembered that Honoka had said before they left that Eri and Nozomi would come to visit her later.

"Eri and the others are here, right?"

Maki Nishikino thought expectantly. She is used to staying with her friends, but now that she has suddenly become alone, she naturally feels lonely and just wants to see more of everyone.

And the truth was just as she expected, and soon, people walked into the hospital room one after the other.

The iconic blonde hair with a single ponytail and purple hair with a double ponytail made Maki Nishikino recognize it as Eri and Nozomi at a glance. But before she could say hello, she froze when she saw the third person who came in with her.

"-Huh, Xia Jun?"
