I wonder if I can sneak out now? But if you are caught by Miss Misako, I believe that next time it will not be as simple as kneeling on the washboard and listening to the teaching, and you may be treated with the same joint skills as Haruhara.

I received the address of the hospital from my brother not long ago, and although I have prepared the necessary equipment such as a map, I am still facing a major problem, that is, —————— the dormitory manager Misae!

If someone you don't know finds out, you'll call the police right away if you're a thief or something, right?

"What are you doing? Spring. ”

When I walked to the staircase on the first floor and was about to reach the lobby, I came across Haruhara who was about to walk up.

"Ugh! Haruhara, what are you doing here? ”

"Fetch the letter," Haruhara said, shaking the envelope in his hand, "Misae just informed me that there was a letter from my hometown. ”

"Oh, that's right." I remember that Haruhara doesn't seem to be a local, but a sports student recruited by the school from somewhere else, right? Although I don't know why the top students of the year became the way they are now, "That, Miss Misae?" ”

"Back to the room, what's wrong?"

"No, just go back to your room."

"Oh~ are you going out?"

"Haha~ How come?"

"You've got a map in your hand."

“…”

"You're going to the hospital," Haruhara smiled as he slipped the letter into his pocket, pointing in the direction of the door, "Then I'll go too." ”

"What are you talking about?"

Play stupid, I really don't know if there will be any mess if you bring Haruhara over.

"Eh~ what, such a distrustful expression, don't underestimate me."

"Uh, is that so?"

"Alright, alright," Haruhara suddenly reached out and grabbed my arm as if running to the door, "If you don't leave, Misae will come out!" ”

"But, Haruhara!"

"Don't worry~ You don't know where the hospital is, right? I'll lead the way! ”

I'm glad that someone can show me the way, but if it's you, I'm worried more than happy!

"Hey Izumi, I said it's dark here."

"Nonsense, we can't go through the main entrance, it's time to refuse to visit the patient."

"It's been cold and swishing since just now, do you think there will be anything..."

"Huh?!"

"Hospitals don't often die, so there should be a lot of !!."

"Ha, haha, calm me down," I immediately reached out and covered his mouth when Haruhara highlighted the word, and the corners of my mouth twitched into a smiling expression, "That's superstition, right?" ”

"But..."

"It's superstition, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes!"

Right now, we're on the escape staircase of the hospital building, heading towards Ibukiko's room.

It's true.,Originally, because of the relationship between the people who don't use it often.,The lights in the escape corridor are a little dim.,Being said by Chunyuan.,The problem that I didn't care much about was suddenly cared about.,It's like there's really something coming out.,Phew! What am I talking about... Of course, it's definitely not because I'm timid, it's just that this atmosphere forces people to be less courageous.

Sneaking through the nurses' station in the ward, Haruhara, and I gently opened the door of the ward with the name "Ibukiko" without being discovered.

In the quiet room, where there was nothing to adorn except for medical equipment and necessary hospital supplies, lay a young girl on the bed in the center of the room. The soft moonlight shone through the window and fell on the face of the sleeping girl lying on the hospital bed.

Because of the long sleep, the girl's body is filled with catheters of various colors to maintain her life, and probably because of this, the girl is slightly thinner than her peers, and the arms exposed outside the quilt seem to be fragile items that will break if you pinch them hard. But even so, the tea-green hair, the childish appearance that has not yet faded, the eyes that are tightly closed, and the familiar appearance are telling us that she is Fengzi, Yibufengzi.

"Hey Izumi, tell me," Haruhara stared at the wind lying on the bed without a trace of movement, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, and he asked me in a trembling voice, "All this is fake, right?" ”

“…”

"It's a joke, isn't it?"

“…”

I can't answer it, I can't answer any of the questions raised by Haruhara, and when I see such a truth, what should I say at this time? It felt as if my mouth no longer belonged to me, and my vocal cords couldn't make a sound on their own, and I couldn't spit out a single sound.

Looking at Fengzi's sleeping face without a trace of expression, I clenched my fists in both hands, gritted my teeth and desperately held back the tears that wanted to be lifted.

Damn it! What kind of state is this, what kind of state is this... Although I guessed that the situation was not very good, but I didn't expect it to be such a bad situation, why do you still put on that smiling face on a regular basis? It's so sad.

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

As a result, we forgot to close the door when we entered the ward, and soon after that, we were spotted and arrested by the patrolling nurse. In order not to make things more and more troublesome due to Haruhara's nonsense, I explained that we were not thieves, but simply slipped in to visit my friends, and finally made the nurse believe what I said, and it became a short lecture time without calling the police. But I'm happy with the result compared to handing it over to the police, even when I hear the dawn.

"That's it," Standing at the door of the dormitory, Haruhara waved at me and walked in, "I'll see you tomorrow." ”

"Yes, get some rest."

After closing the door, I didn't care if I hadn't washed it yet, and I poured it on in a large font, burying my head deep in the futon.

There are so many sudden things happening today, especially at night, and the brain can't turn around.

With her eyes closed and her breathing so weak that she could barely feel it, if it weren't for the fact that she was filled with life-sustaining catheters, I might have been more inclined to think of her as a doll than a living person. But, ah, it's weird, if the Kazeko I know is Ibuki, then how did she end up here? Could it be a ghost? No, it shouldn't be. Being able to communicate with us, to be able to contact us, is definitely not just a ghost, is it some other reason, or is it the help of some kind of power? That's right! It's power! Could it be light...

"Hmm!"

Suddenly a headache came, and I couldn't help but let out a trace of ** when I covered my head.

It's really strange why I don't feel awake after a headache, but I feel more tired. Damn it! It feels like I'm about to think about the key point, but the eyelids... All of a sudden, so heavy... It seems to be closed, already... I can't hold it anymore...

In my hazy consciousness, I glanced out of the corner of my eye at the wall clock hanging on the wall.

… It's half past two... Oh, yes... It's been here... It's time to sleep... It's time...

The moment my eyelids closed heavily, I snored softly and fell asleep.
