After about a week, one of the guys was finally able to walk on crutches on his own.

While this was indeed an exciting step forward, it was also subject to the like-

"You're just self-inflicted, aren't you?"

Complaints like this occasionally pop out of the mouth of someone who has always been unforgiving.

- "Who do you think I was hurt for?" ”

Lemuel couldn't help but cry out for himself......

Although I didn't say this face-to-face, I heard it from my phone, but sure enough......

If you don't feel good, you still feel uncomfortable.

“...... By the way, I'll be there in about half an hour, no problem, right? ”

On the other end, Riveria's tone sounded as if she had just woken up.

"Ahh......h It should be fine, right? ”

As a result, before he could finish speaking, he was told to say-

"Don't be willful until I come. Do you understand? ”

"Yes, yes, got it...... Honestly, you're really getting more and more like my one-"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished his evaluation as if he was feeling, a sneer came from the earpiece......

Oops, getting carried away a little bit too much!

"The ......? Can you stop laughing so creepy? ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I couldn't help but have a picture in my mind!

Really...... It's scary! The look of the guy's sneer......

However, when you are with this guy, you can't help but feel casual and relaxed.

So this is in no way self-digging.

However, Riveria immediately made him understand what it meant to "regret it......

In a nutshell –

"If you dare to say such a thing again, I will let you stop talking about rice from today onwards, and you won't even have to drink porridge!"

"Yes, I'm sorry...... I'm so sorry, I'll reflect deeply! Please also ask the adults not to remember the villain......"

At this moment, a series of sighs couldn't help but penetrate into my ears.

And it is precisely because he knows that he is such a person that he is too lazy to care-

Obviously very good at observing words and feelings, but he has to pretend to be confused or something......

Such a description is undoubtedly the best way to describe Lemil's awkward character......

"Mr. Driver, can you please go to the convenience store?"

"No problem, but there will be an additional fee, right? Is that okay? ”

"Well, no problem...... I'll pay that part of the money as well. I'm sorry for you—"

"I see."

So, under such a sudden request, the taxi that had planned to get on the highway at the approaching intersection had to turn around.

After a while, he stopped by the commercial plaza -

"Thanks, please wait for me a moment-"

Leaving these words, Riveria walked quickly to the convenience store......

Because she was not very confident in her cooking skills, she thought of coming here to buy bento.

After all, I don't want to be complained about by the guy who has always been straightforward, unpalatable, bad taste or something.

"Wait for me, one day I'll let you say 'delicious' in person!"

Thinking like this, she walked in a little angry.

Fortunately, I still know that guy's taste, so it's not hard to choose, right?

"I'm sorry, but can I put together my own bento side dishes?"

However, Riveria soon found herself a little embarrassed to find that she seemed to be overestimating the quality of the bento here......

"Huh? What did you say, miss? ”

I guess even the clerk heard such a request for the first time, so he couldn't answer it in the blink of an eye - but then this is also a normal reaction, right?

"Because my friend is a bit picky, can you let me put together my own side dishes?"

So Riveria had to repeat it patiently.

"Huh? Do you mean boyfriend? I see, is that ......? ”

As a result, before she had time to deny it, the clerk who seemed to be talking to herself came to such a conclusion as if she was a little helpless.

“...... May I? ”

And now, I don't have the heart to correct her.

Because, I always feel that even if I am misunderstood like this, it seems to be ...... It's not bad, either-

Immediately afterwards, I saw her mix shrimp, braised pork, beef tongue, and vegetable salad in an even proportion.

Then add a generous amount of soup and tomato paste......

Finally, sprinkle a little mustard and you're satisfied.

Of course, when it comes to choosing your own share, you are naturally not so particular.

- By the way, her actions couldn't help but make the expression on the clerk's face fall into an extremely tangled situation......

If you have to say it, it might be...... Envy, jealousy, hatred, right?

"Two copies are a total of 300 yuan-"

"Well, got it......"

Immediately after, Riveria quickly took out her phone and paid. After that, get back into the taxi as fast as you can—

"Please go to the hospital, right?"

"Okay."

Then, really, as she herself said on the phone, it took half an hour to rush to the hospital.

As a result, as soon as he stepped into the hospital room, he witnessed Lemuel's entire body fall to the ground - even the vase was smashed by him......

At this moment, the ground is covered with large and small glass shards.

As for the crutches, he lies at his feet......

"Huh? Here's the ...... Listen to me—"

I didn't take your words as wind in my ears and force myself...... He probably wanted to say this, right?

However, even if he understands this, he understands it better than anyone else......

But seeing that he was so embarrassed but still reluctantly allowed himself to laugh or something because of his own reasons, he really couldn't bear it anyway-

“......”

Immediately afterwards, Lemuel, who originally wanted to hide his embarrassment by fooling around like this, was in his field of vision......

Ruthlessly squeezed into someone's weeping expression......

"Why? I just said that, right? Don't push yourself. You won't say you've forgotten, will you? ”

"Just half an hour ago, but why did you ......!"

“！ Sorry, really sorry...... But I don't want to trouble you anymore—"

"When did I say you're in trouble?!"

In retrospect, it was true that there was not a single ......

She was at nothing wrong.

That's right, it's going to be so messy now, it's all the result of your own doing.

"I'm sorry ......"

Because doesn't this happen all the time? Sticking a knife in both sides for the sake of a good friend......

“......”

However, if it were this guy, he would definitely give such an evaluation, right?

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I should have rushed over right away......"

Knowing that according to this guy's character, he will definitely try his best to force himself-

Yes, in order to minimize my guilt, he would not hesitate to do so.

"It's okay!"

Lemuel said; On the one hand, with the support of Riveria, it was not easy to support his body with the help of crutches.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, both of them were sweating profusely.

"I'll bring a bento, and I heard from the nurse that you've been able to eat something—"

"If I want fruit, I'll take the elevator down again to buy it......"

"Thank you, but...... Belch? ”

Remil, who took the bento box from her hand, was immediately very moved-

It's true, but ...... This guy's cooking level ......

Both Lila and Yuna knew that her cooking skills were so bad that it was hard to evaluate......

In other words, although the food she makes is not difficult to swallow, it always tastes very strange-

The most favorable evidence for myself to come to such a seemingly excessive conclusion is......

This guy will rightfully use sugar as salt for flavoring......

As a result, for a long time, as long as she made something, there was only one taste-

That's right, that's ...... A sweetness that leaves a psychological shadow!

"You, you, what do you mean by those eyes! Let's start with that, that's not ...... I did! ”

“？”

Then this overly shocking fact made Lemuel's eyes widen in disbelief in the blink of an eye.

"I went to the convenience store and bought it!"

"Really?"

Hearing this, he was finally relieved.

She still won't lie about this.

But this side dish ...... Anyway, it's too much of a coincidence, right?

How can it happen that they are all things that I like to eat.

"Riveria, I'm not suspicious of you, but there's no way an ordinary convenience store can have such a coincidental bento side dish, right?"

"Are these still my favorite dishes? Could it be that you made them match it like this? ”

See? So I said a long time ago that this guy really has no consciousness at all about the so-called "girlish heart......

Although most of them are not wrong, it is just -

"Shut up and eat you! Really, where did you get so many words......"

"Also, I'll be with you from today onwards...... From now on! ”

These words immediately choked Lemuel—

"What do you say? Help me rehabilitate, that is, are you going to stay here for the next 24 hours? ”

"Can't you?"

She deliberately accentuated her tone.

This guy is simply knowingly asking, and what is even more excessive is that she is making this kind of proposal knowing that she will not hesitate to refuse......

"I said, 'Are you stupid?' If so, what will happen to your studies? ”

"You mean that, huh...... It's a big deal to repeat a grade for a year? Are you panicking like this? ”

"Are you stupid? How can such words be said without thinking about it? ”

Immediately afterwards, this nonsense idea was dismissed by Lemuel without thinking in an instant-

"No! You're just fooling around......"

"If you can't graduate properly because I delay your studies......

I can't afford it.

- At this moment, even if she understands that the reason why she made this decision is for herself, she can't accept it.

Because even if she understands, she also fully understands her original intention......

He still couldn't make-

"If you think it's okay, then that's it, okay?"

It's easy to say.

Because, that could ruin her life!

But now, if she really agrees, this guy will probably do it without hesitation, right?

However, the current self never wants her to become such an existence-

She knows all this. Because from the past...... Her own thoughts are always easily seen through by her......

In that case—

Why are you trying to question me in this way?

What a bad guy.

"Huh? Does it matter? ”

"Otherwise, I'll help you rehabilitate, and you will occasionally open a small stove for me? That's okay, right? ”

"I said, can you not be so cheeky......"

"Besides, you've dumped me a few streets in the first place, right? It's really ......."

He couldn't help but roll his eyes as he spoke......

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you...... That's still according to the original plan, right? ”

"When I don't have classes, I'll come over every once in a while to help. Anyway—"

"What?"

At this moment, Riveria's tone was finally a little serious, and at the same time, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief-

"Have you already decided where you want to go after graduation?"

Faced with this difficult topic, Lemuel gave a very direct answer without thinking.

"Why join the army?"

However, at this time, Riveria couldn't help but ask more. Because, she wanted to hear that answer with her own ears......

At the same time, you can use this "answer" to try to make the expected self completely dead, right?

Saying......

"What the hell was I expecting?"

"Why? If it's you, can't you still guess the reason? Why bother......"

You see, right? In the cunning place, whether it is himself, or he is at this moment......

We are all each other, and there is no difference.

Sure enough, if you didn't like it at first, you don't need to experience it now...... Indescribable feeling!

However, Riveria didn't know why she wanted to go out of her way to deny it.

- Actually, if you think about it, isn't the reason very simple?

"Because it's a close friend, it has to be denied."

"What's wrong with you? What are you in a daze? ”

"It's nothing, I'm just wondering if I'm going to work in armaments or weapons research and development after I graduate......"

At this point, the confusion became Lemuel......

Indeed, the reason why he wants to join the army is quite reasonable, but what is the reason for this guy?

"Let me ask you, you didn't make it on a whim, did you?"

Of course, Riveria immediately denied it, and then she added-

"But I hate fighting, killing, killing, so if I really do it, I can only be your backing and other roles, right?"

- Because, I can't accept that you will die casually in a place where I can't see......

This kind of thing, as a close friend and friend, I absolutely can't accept it.

"Has it already been decided?"

In the end, in the end, what kind of answer she gave was, in fact, it didn't matter anymore-

Because this guy will never regret the decision he made...... And it's the kind of guy who does what he says......

It's useless to persuade you.

In any case, she has always been such a person.

At the same time, Lila also returned to her responsible jurisdiction on time and on time -

"Oh? Lieutenant! ”

"It's still quite punctual, how about the newlywed life in three days? Is it still enjoyable? ”

"How can it be so exaggerated—"

In an instant, she was surrounded by her comrades-in-arms who were overly enthusiastic and didn't want to miss the gossip......

- Honestly, it's really hot!

And I'm really thirsty right now......

"Doesn't that seem good?"

Immediately after that, she showed off the ring she was wearing.

As a result, the guys boiled as expected......

"Wow! This thing is not bad!! ”

However, this is completely contrary to the result of "calming things down" that I expected......

"That one, senior...... When are you getting married? ”

In other words, they had to continue to deal with their ever-expanding curiosity. It sucks!

"Anyway, I'm still in love...... What does it look like? ”

Then it seemed that even she didn't understand why she was so cooperative with these guys.

Perhaps, it should be a reason to change your mood?

"Huh? Hasn't that guy proposed to you yet? ”

“......”

No, I feel like if I continue to be asked like this, it will be endless!

At this moment, a person's voice easily penetrated the human wall without hesitation-

"If you're bored, I don't mind assigning you any more tasks than the rules-"

"Give me back to my responsible post!"

As soon as the words fell, the room became silent in the blink of an eye......

"Really, it's all the lazy guys who think about it—ah, forgot to say it...... Welcome back, Lieutenant Retilia. ”

There is no doubt that at this moment, Levi is slowly walking towards his own affairs.

- especially his unusually loud voice, which could be easily discerned even from a distance.

"Yo!"

However, the change in his tone here and again caused protests one after another......

"Stingy!"

- There's no way around it, right?

Such an obvious change, as if only I was being treated differently, of course, would cause dissatisfaction. But......

He doesn't care about "other people's feelings", that kind of thing.

"I'd love to say give you a good night's rest, but—"

Levi's hesitation was not unusual, so Leela realized it immediately...... Maybe it's "what's going on"?

"If you have something to say, why bother to spit out?"

In this atmosphere, she followed Levi to his office.

"Okay, now you can always say it, right? It's just the two of us here, after all—"

So, he changed his previous attitude and quickly handed the report he had received in the past three days to Lila......

That's right, it just so happened that she had received a report during the three days she had left to enjoy her vacation.

"Missing?"

"Well, it happened to start three days ago. And it's all kids......"

"So far, I've suppressed the information as much as possible, but the effect-"

"Not really, right?"

As she spoke, Leela looked down again to confirm the number of missing people so far......

To be honest, it really can't be taken for granted that you don't see it-

"There are already hundreds, that's really ......"

In short, Levi is already in a state of flux, right? In other words, now he needs someone who can really help-

That's why you tell yourself about it, right?

In that case, the so-called answer is no longer needed, right?

"What do you want me to do?"

- So, without hesitation, she went straight to the point......
