Chapter 67: Conversation in the Ward

"Fever symptoms caused by seasonal colds, from blood samples taken, there are also signs of inflammation in the body, and further deterioration does not rule out the possibility of pneumonia. I first prescribed her two bottles of anti-inflammatory medicine to reduce colds, and then a bottle of glucose water, her body is now in a mild state of dehydration, she will be very weak, and it is recommended to stay in the hospital for observation for a day. The doctor made a diagnosis and said to Yoshio Konno and the others.

"Is it so serious, doctor?" said Yoshio Konno couldn't help but frown.

"It's not too serious, it's just that her physical condition is very bad now, I don't know how she can be so weak, just rest well. The doctor said.

"Uh-huh, please, doctor. Yoshio Konno bowed and thanked him.

The doctor walked out of the room, and in a moment the nurse would come with the medicine. Mai Shiraishi looked intently at the sleeping Ikoma Rina on the bed, and held Rina Ikoma's right hand tightly with both hands.

"In that case, let's stay tonight. Yoshio Konno said: "I'll stay with Nonaka, Nango, you can take Shiraishi back in a while, and you will have something to do tomorrow." ”

"Hmm...... All right. Nango Yui nodded, he had other work tomorrow.

"Konno-san, I'd better stay. Mai Shiraishi whispered: "Please let Nango-san and Noaka-san go back, Nonaka-san will accompany everyone to the practice room tomorrow, can I take a day off tomorrow? ”

"But Shiraishi, you...... You're tired all day today, and your body should rest, otherwise......" Yoshio Konno didn't want any more members to fall.

"I'm fine, my body is still holding up. Compared to the koma...... I'm still far from it. Mai Shiraishi looked at Rina Ikoma on the bed tenderly, and helped her brush the hair that covered her eyes.

"Okay...... Then go back. Seeing this, Yoshio Konno couldn't ask Mai Shiraishi to go back, so he had to agree.

"Hey?huh...... It's Sakurai, ah......" The phone rang, Nango Yui took out his mobile phone to answer, it turned out that Sakurai Reika saw that Rina Ikoma hadn't come back at night, and the phone was also turned off, so she was a little worried, so she called Nango Yui.

"What's wrong?" asked Yoshio Konno after Yui Nango put down the phone.

"It's Reika Sakurai, seeing that Rina Ikoma hasn't gone back yet, she called and asked me if I knew what was going on, and I told her that Rina Ikoma was with us, and I didn't say anything else. Nango Yui replied.

"Well, you can go back and explain to them in a moment, it's nothing. Yoshio Konno gave a few more orders, and Yui Nango left with Sakiko Nonaka to go to Nogizaka's dormitory.

Soon, the nurse brought the medicine and infusion utensils, and after setting up the infusion needle for Rina Ikoma, she left the ward.

"It's going to be fine. Yoshio Konno looked at the sleeping Ikoma Rina and comforted Mai Shiraishi, who nodded.

After a long time, the mobile phone rang, and Yoshio Konno took out his mobile phone and found that it was Nango Yui calling.

"What's wrong, Nango?" Konno asked.

"That's right, I went back to the dormitory and briefly talked to a few members about the situation, and then told them to rest assured. However, Sakurai and Wakatsuki heard that you and Shiraishi were staying there, and they were worried that Shiraishi would not be able to take care of them alone, so they asked me to go to the hospital. I was also strongly opposed at first, but the two of them repeatedly asked that tomorrow Nogizaka's work notice is zero, and I really couldn't stop the two people, so I had to agree to the request of the two people to take a day off tomorrow, and now the two of them have already set off for you, and it is estimated that it will be there in a while...... I'm sorry......" Nango Yui said a little helplessly, a little sorry.

"Alas...... Forget it, come here, the other members don't come one after another, tell them that tomorrow it's okay and Ikoma will go back, so don't worry. Yoshio Konno said.

"Okay, I got it. Ikoma, how is she?" Nango Yui asked.

"I've been hung in the water, it's fine, I'm still asleep. Yoshio Konno replied.

"Hmm...... Please rest assured that Wonaka will be with you tomorrow, and I'll go back to the practice room as soon as I'm done. "Nango Yui, please rest assured Yoshio Konno.

"Well, please. Yoshio Konno hung up the phone,

"What's wrong, Konno-san?" Mai Shiraishi asked quietly.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that Nango went back to the dormitory and told the members about these things, Sakurai and Wakatsuki have to come together, and it's estimated that they will arrive in a while. Yoshio Konno said.

"Hmm. Mai Shiraishi nodded.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Reika Sakurai and Yumi Wakatsuki to rush to the hospital.

"We've all heard Nango-san say, you two haven't had dinner yet, right? "Reika Sakurai and Yumi Wakatsuki came with two bags of fast food such as hamburgers that they bought at a burger shop on the way here.

"Konno-san, I don't know what you like to eat, so I bought these on my own initiative. If you don't mind, please eat it. Wakatsuki Yumi politely took out the hamburger and handed it to Yoshio Konno.

"Oh, thanks! I ate everything, it's fine. Yoshio Konno thanked him for taking the hamburger, and then said as he opened the package, "Shiraishi, you can eat it too, and you should also pay attention to your body." ”

"Go eat, Mai, I'll watch the foals for you. Reika Sakurai said, Mai Shiraishi nodded. Reika Sakurai looked at Mai Shiraishi's red and swollen eyes with some surprise, and then sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Rina Ikoma who had her eyes closed on the bed, and also fell silent.

"Please use it. Continued to help the two of them take out hamburgers, drinks, and egg tarts and the like, Mai Shiraishi ate very slowly and very little, but Yoshio Konno quickly eliminated two hamburgers and half a drink with three strikes and five divided by two.

"Don't worry about Mai, Ikoma will be fine. She's our center!" Wakazuki Yumi comforted Mai Shiraishi.

"Center ......" heard the word, and Mai Shiraishi's eyes began to moisten again.

"Konno-san, will the center bear so much......" Mai Shiraishi asked suddenly.

"Hmm...... At this time, I think it's a lot of responsibility. Yoshio Konno said slowly.

"That's why Ikoma is like this...... She never spoke to any of us. Mai Shiraishi's tears flowed uncontrollably again.

"I don't want to cause trouble for everyone, I don't want everyone to worry about it. Yoshio Konno said.

"Isn't that too cruel to her...... She's just a child......" Mai Shiraishi was a little excited.

"The world of idols is inherently cruel, and compared to AKB, Nogizaka is already rare to be like this. Yoshio Konno continued to answer.

"I don't know what Ikoma's true thoughts are, but from what I feel and what I can guess, I'm really sad. Mai Shiraishi said.

Yumi Wakatsuki listened to the conversation between the two of them, and slowly shed tears. In fact, she also read the comments under Rina Ikoma's blog...... Some people's verbal criticism and writing are not said to be able to bear it themselves, but Rina Ikoma has been silently bearing.

"Isn't Ikoma's performance already the answer?" said Yoshio Konno.

"If you want to help her share this, let's work together! As a member of Nogizaka, everyone works together to make the group better and better, and to silence those people with actions and achievements. You are her companions, and you can do it. Yoshio Konno said earnestly.

"That's right...... Mai, we just need to work harder to let Nogizaka grow and develop quickly, and when we are good enough, the natural foal will not have to bear this. Yumi Wakatsuki also comforted.

"Ikuma ......" Listening to the conversation of the three people on the side, Reika Sakurai silently made up her mind in her heart. Since he is the acting captain, he should assume the responsibility of the captain.

The next morning, Rina Ikoma woke up.

Looking at Yumi Wakatsuki, Reika Sakurai, who fell asleep in the seat, and Yoshio Konno, who was asleep sitting against the wall, Rina Ikoma was a little surprised. I tried to sit up from the bed, but my whole body was sore, and I shook slightly, and Mai Shiraishi, who was about to guard the side, woke up.

"Are you awake, Ikuma, are you still dizzy?" Mai Shiraishi asked softly.

"A little bit ......" Rina Ikoma replied in a low voice, Mai Shiraishi in front of her, her face was much haggard, her eyes were very swollen, and there were dark circles under her eyes, which was completely different from Mai Shiraishi, who was bright in normal times.

"Here, take a sip of water. Mai Shiraishi carefully helped Ikoma Rina sit up and fed her water to replenish her strength.

"Everybody...... Are you all here with me?" asked Rina Ikoma as she finished her drink.

"Well, all the time. Mai Shiraishi replied softly.

"I'm in trouble again...... I also messed up Matomo-san's invitation......" Rina Ikoma said reproachfully.

"It's okay, I don't blame you, and Mayou-san won't blame you. Mai Shiraishi patiently comforted.

"Shiraishi is right. Watanabe-san, she didn't blame you, she asked me to bring you a word. Yoshio Konno also woke up at this time and heard the conversation between the two people.

"What did Mayou-san say. Rina Ikoma asked in a hurry.

She said she hoped you would get better soon, and when you recovered, she would ask you out to hang out. Yoshio Konno said.

"Really?" Rina Ikoma was a little surprised, unable to believe it.

"Really, so you should get better quickly. Yoshio Konno said with a smile.

"Well, I'm sorry, Konno-san, I'm causing trouble for everyone again. Rina Ikoma said.

"Hehe, if you don't cause trouble, then we're going to lose our jobs...... That's what we do, don't mind, Ikoma. Konno said jokingly.

"Ah...... Ikuma, you're awake. Wakatsuki Yumi also woke up, looking at Reika Sakurai, who had not woken up yet, she was a little embarrassed, and patted her, and Reika Sakurai also showed signs of waking up.

"Hmm~" Stretching, Reika Sakurai opened her eyes and found that everyone else in the room was looking at her, only to realize that she was the last to wake up.

"Ah, how is this happening......" Reika Sakurai said with some frustration.

"Haha. Everyone in the room laughed, and Rina Ikoma laughed happily too.

"Ikoma, are you awake, are you feeling better?" asked Reika Sakurai quickly.

Rina Ikoma smiled and nodded.

"I'm going to see a doctor. Yoshio Konno said a word and went out to find a doctor.

After the doctor came, he carefully checked Rina Ikoma's physical condition and told everyone that they could go back after hanging a few bottles of water during the day today, and that they needed to take medicine and rest on time after they returned.

After hanging the water, Konno called the nanny car and took the members back to the dormitory. After arranging for Ikoma to go back to his room and go to sleep, the other three members also went back to their rooms to rest. Konno went to Toshiryo Muramatsu to report the matter to him.
