"I'm so embarrassed."

"I'm sorry for you, teacher."

Sitting in the back seat with Tomoyo, we were embarrassed to thank the people in front of us.

"Don't be so polite, it just so happens that Yusuke and I are also going to the hospital."

Looking back, Mr. Childe smiled at us, please don't care.

Before, when he and Tomoyo were walking towards the bus stop, they happened to meet the Yoshino couple who were driving by.

Originally, they saw us and said hello, but Mr. Childe noticed the bandages on my hands and when he learned that we were about to go to the hospital, he invited us to take a ride with them.

After all, the teacher was also kind, and we were embarrassed to refuse and sat down.

And you can hitchhike,

"But the student council election, I really miss it!" As if recalling the days when he used to be a teacher, Mr. Childe smiled and turned his head to look at Mr. Yoshino, who was driving the car, "I remember that Poplar-kun also participated in the past." ”

"Did my brother participate in it too?"

"Izumi's brother?"

Tomoyo and I both widened in surprise.

It was a surprise because he rarely talked about himself, and this was the first time he had heard of it.

"Didn't that kid tell you?" Holding the steering wheel, Mr. Yoshino's eyes looked ahead, but a hint of playfulness appeared at the corners of his mouth, "Yes, after all, he lost miserably to Misae." ”

Mr. Yoshino's tone was tinged with a little schadenfreude.

For me, who occasionally has a little contact with him, it seems that this man who likes to put on an iceberg face more than Okazaki would have such an obvious emotional expression, which is really strange.

It seems that there is a lot of pressure from my brother in normal times.

"Yusuke."

Probably because of my feelings, Childe-sensei interrupted Mr. Yoshino softly.

Actually, I don't care, I'd rather say...

I'd love to hear it!

Please tell me a little more about my brother's failure!

"I'm sorry, it's that poplar after all, it's rare to make him lose the battle."

"Hmm~ really."

Although Mr. Childe criticized, there was a smile in his eyes, "It's really difficult, you can't help it".

It is worthy of being a newlywed, it is really love.

That's great.

"If you are also running, you can ask them about their experience, they are all very good people."

Childe-sensei suggested to us.

"But the most convenient way is to ask Misae, she should be very happy to guide you than a troublesome guy."

Mr. Yoshino added.

"Yusuke!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't help but want to laugh when I think of the expression on Poplar's face at that time."

"Really, you really like Poplar-kun."

"Childe, you just misunderstood a very serious matter."

"Okay, look ahead and concentrate on driving."

"Hmm... Got it. ”

Although it seemed that he wanted to say a few more words, Mr. Yoshino nodded honestly.

When I collided with the gaze of Tomoyo next to us, we couldn't help but smile knowingly.

———————————— dividing line————————————

Walking out of the parking lot, we said goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Yoshino.

"Then we're going this way."

"Yes, thank you for giving us a ride."

"Please don't say that, it's just a casual effort," Teacher Childe smiled, "Xiaofeng is still waiting for us, so let's go first." ”

"Yes."

He nodded slightly.

They walked in the direction of the inpatient building.

"By the way, Quan-kun," after taking a few steps, Mr. Childe stopped and turned around and said, "If you have time, come and see Xiaofeng, that kid must want to see you too." ”

"Well, I'll definitely go when I have time."

Fengzi, I don't know if she's better now, I really hope that guy can wake up soon.

But even if that guy sees me, I don't know if she'll be happy, after all, we've been fighting all the time.

A wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When she woke up, she couldn't be so childish.

After watching the back of Mr. Childe leave disappear, I was ready to go to the registration to see my hands.

When he turned around, he noticed that Tomoyo was tilting his head and thinking about something in distress.

"What's wrong?"

I asked, confused.

"The little wind that the teacher said just now," after a pause, Tomoyo raised his head with a frown, "... I think I've heard it somewhere, but I can't remember it. ”

“…”

"I always feel like I've done a bad thing..."

Like a lost puppy, Tomoyo bowed his head in frustration.

"Well, if you see it later, you can remember it," I patted Chiyo on the shoulder, and I cheered her on, "You must be good friends." ”

"It's really okay to feel unexpected."

Tomoyo gave me a gentle smile back.

—————————————— Dividing Line——————————————

"The doctor said that it would take about a week, and then come back in three days to change the medicine."

Coming out of the treatment room, I said to Tomoyo, who was waiting outside.

"It's going to take a week..."

But Tomoyo looked lost, she must have thought that I was going to get hurt because of her.

"It's a week, but look!" I waved my sturdy arms that had been re-bandaged, "It's a lot more than I thought." ”

I wondered if it would be a fracture before, but it was a great feeling.

"And Zhidai, you see, I injured my left hand, and the impact is not big at all."

"Izumi, aren't you left-handed?"

"You know?!"

I opened my mouth wide in surprise.

I have been training to use my right hand since I was in the past, because it is more convenient to use it in daily life than with my left hand or my right hand, so now I can use my right hand as flexibly as my left hand. And after I got here, I also maintained the habit of using my right hand, and I believe that even Haruhara, Okazaki, who stays with him every day, will not know that I am left-handed.

"Because Kanako is the same as you, I can tell the difference after watching it for a long time."

"Eh~ That's it."

I nodded approvingly.

But I still have to say, Zhidai, your observation is very sharp.

"But don't worry, I usually use my right hand, but it doesn't make much of a difference."

"I hope so."

Tomoyo looked like he was reluctantly accepting my words.

"By the way, Tomoyo," scratching his cheek, I thought about it and decided to do so, "Mr. Yoshino said that my brother also participated in the student council election, should we go to him and ask?" ”

Although my brother is that virtuous, he can give very pertinent advice.

"But Izumi, you don't want your brother to see how injured you are."

"Well~ It's not that I don't want to see it, it's just that it will be very troublesome to see my brother like me."

"Then let's go back," Tomoyo chuckled softly, "and the experience of asking Miss Misaeda for advice is enough." ”

"But..."

"It's okay, I'll miss the bus if it's any longer."

Without waiting for me to answer, Tomoyo took the lead and walked out of the hospital building and towards the gate.

You saw my reluctance to do this.

When it was almost time to walk to the door.

"Scarlet ————"

Tomoyo stood and looked around.

"Izumi, did you hear anything?"

"What's wrong?"

"Looks like you've heard someone calling you."

"Huh?"

I was stunned, but I reacted immediately and immediately became nervous.

Speaking of which, my acquaintances will be stopped here, so that's the only way to think about it, right?

Holding back the tension inside, I pricked up my ears to sound.

But the result...

"I didn't hear that."

Shook his head.

"Did I mishear?"

Zhidai tilted his head in confusion, and seemed to be quite concerned.

Just then, that call rang out again.

"Scarlet Leaf-kun!"

Wow, there really is!

Don't! Brother, don't come here!

Wrong! You'd better come here!

Slow down! Give me some time to prepare!

… Wait, Scarlet Leaf?

"Sure enough, it's Scarlet Ye-kun, I saw that you didn't react and thought you recognized the wrong person."

While I was still in a daze, the owner of the voice had already run over.

Cute face,Big watery eyes,Isn't this person who is a beautiful girl no matter how you look at it...

"Hiiragi!"

I looked at him in surprise.

"Scarlet Ye-kun is really out of sight, aren't we all friends?" However, Hiiragi seemed to be very dissatisfied with his title, and puffed out his cheeks, "Just call me by my name." ”

"Ahh

I always feel that if I call out "Shengping", there is always a little resistance in my heart.

After all, with such a cute appearance, let me have a dream of knowing a beautiful girl!

"Izumi, who is she?"

Tomoyo next to us looked at us suspiciously.

Oh yes, Tomoyo and Hiiragi are meeting for the first time... Eh, Miss Tomoyo, why are you looking at me with a cold gaze?

Wait, you probably misunderstood me and Hiiragi?!

Hiiragi shouted at me affectionately, but we didn't have a relationship beyond friendship! And although Hiiragi is very cute, she can properly fill in the "male" on her resume!

"Let me introduce you."

I have to explain this big misunderstanding well.

"This is my school's sister and friend, Tomoyo Sakagami."

"First meeting."

"Hello!"

"This is my friend, Katsuhei Hiiragi."

I pronounced Hiiragi's name, and my heart ached a little.

It's really uncomfortable to face reality.

"Hiiragi... Kappei？ ”

Tomoyo was stunned with his mouth half-open.

"How about the victory of victory, the peace of peace? A very manly name! ”

Hiiragi, on the other hand, puffed up his chest proudly and explained happily.

"You... Is it a boy? ”

"Sakagami-san, you like to joke as much as Scarlet-ha-kun, am I so much like a girl?"

This is not a joke, Tomoyo was obviously as surprised as I was at the time.

And it's really hateful, knowing that this is a boy in front of you, you still can't help but feel cute.

Of course, I don't have that orientation, I just think it's cute.

"I'm sorry, that's rude."

It is worthy of Zhidai, who realized his mistake and immediately admitted his mistake frankly.

"It's okay, it's okay, people often joke with me like that."

Hiiragi waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

"Are you hurt, Scarlet Leaf?"

Noticing the bandage on my arm, Hiiragi asked worriedly.

"A small injury, the doctor said it would be fine in a week."

"That's great, arms are just as important to humans as legs and feet."

"No one thinks they're unimportant."

"You know, maybe this arm is the lifeblood of the future Koshien chief pitcher!"

"I'm in the art club, and I'm in the third grade."

Hiiragi, this guy really likes to talk about some fanciful topics.

"By the way, Hiiragi," ignoring Hiiragi's protesting gaze, I continued to ask, "Why did you come to the hospital?" ”

"Uh..."

"Are you sick?"

"Well~ hahaha, that's pretty much it."

"Sure enough," I breathed a sigh of relief when he said this, "the weather has been changing quite quickly lately, so be careful." ”

"Well, Scarlet Ye-kun is really gentle." Saying this, Hiiragi looked at Tomoyo, "That's why I have such a cute girlfriend." ”

"Gentle or something... Eh————?! ”

"Cute girl, girlfriend girlfriend!"

Tomoyo and I both cried out in surprise.

You, you, you guy, you guy have a lovely face, what a terrible misunderstanding!

Look at how Tomyo and I have been scared of you.

"It's great, I want to have a cute girlfriend like Scarletha-kun," Hiiragi continued happily without paying attention to the expressions of me and Tomoyo who were struck by lightning, "Sure enough, I still have to continue to improve my masculinity." ”

"Hiiragi, you misunderstood, although Tomoyo and I are friends, we are not lovers."

Of course, having such a beautiful girlfriend is earned for me, but for Tomoyo, a girl's reputation is very important, and it is better to explain this misunderstanding as soon as possible.

"Really?! In my opinion, you two are a perfect match. ”

You guy, shut up! Don't think that if you're cute, you can talk about anything!

"Who would be joking with this," the temperature on my face was rising violently, and I turned to Tomoyo for help, "Tomoyo, did you say?" ”

But it's said to be a good match or something.,Although I'm very shy, I'm still a little happy.。

“… Yes, Izumi and I are not lovers. ”

Don't blush, Tomoyo puffed out his cheeks slightly.

Ahh Are you really angry?

"That's right! The time for the appointment is almost up, so I'll go first! ”

Noticing the time on his watch, Hiiragi waved at us and ran into the hospital building.

You guy, you dropped such a big bomb, and you just ran away!

"Well~ Hiiragi is such a casual person, don't care."

"It's okay, I know he's a good guy," Tomoyo shook his head absently, then glanced at me, "compare it to Izumi." ”

And me?

I didn't understand what Tomoyo meant, so I stared at her blankly.

"Alas... But that's what Izumi is," sighed softly, and Tomoyo said with a wry smile, "Let's go, aren't you going back?" ”

"Yes, yes!"

Scratching my head, I followed in the footsteps of Tomoyo.
