Chapter 21: It hurts, it hurts!
When Mio Izumi knocked on the door, he looked up at the small villa and took a deep breath, and put a cushion on his little hands and heels, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, Naoki Natsume opened the door for her.
"Hello Natsume-san."
"Senpai."
Finally being able to communicate so freely in private, Mio Izumi felt very relieved.
But Naoki Natsume's appearance made her afraid to compliment.
"You...... The face doesn't look good. Is it because of a bad foot injury? She looked first at Naoki's plaster-clad right foot, then at his pale face.
Natsume came down on crutches, and as he told Kitahara, the crutches that Kitahara gave him in high school quickly came into use.
"Injuries to the feet are partly because the series of subsequent troubles that develop from the injuries are more serious...... I'll go get you medicine. ”
He stepped out of his way and invited the senior sister in, and motioned for the senior sister to sit casually.
The decoction was sealed in a vacuum bag and refrigerated in the refrigerator.
Mio Izumi gently kicked off her shoes when she entered the door, and was glad that the indoor activity room of the sports club had a bathroom and a changing room, and she had brought a change of socks.
It's a strange shyness.
"Excuse me."
She whispered, but not Naoki Natsume, who had already gone into the kitchen to find medicine.
The senior sister who changed into casual clothes hid the enthusiasm and vitality of sports, and was more like a cheerful and amiable big sister next door.
Miao Man's body is wrapped in a gray sweatshirt, and skinny jeans on a girl always make people think about it.
Mio Izumi knew that Naoki Natsume lived alone in such a high-end two-story villa, after all, he had been here before.
But the vague memory only made her remember this one thing, and as for the decoration of the house, she was not sure.
It's really clean, is this the boy's home? It's not the same as what is said on the Internet, huh?
Is there really a little yellow man in the bedroom?
Mio Izumi suddenly realized that she seemed to have only visited the house of Natsume, a boy, and it was twice...... Although it's all for business.
Naoki Natsume came out of the kitchen in a small vacuum bag with a lot of brown liquid in a plastic bag.
"The one with the black marker on it is the kind you used to drink, how you should drink it, and how to drink it. Drink what I've given you and it's over. ”
As he spoke, Naoki Natsume took out another small brown vacuum bag with "2" written on it, and his expression was serious: "This kind of morning and evening is once in the morning, and you can drink it an hour before eating." If you feel that your stomach is upset after eating, drink it half an hour after eating. Drink it for three days and come to me to get it once. ”
Mio Izumi took the plastic bag handed over by Naoki Natsume, and picked up a pack of No. 2 with some curiosity and looked at it.
At the thought of what this was curing, Mio Izumi's face couldn't help but blush a little.
Fortunately, the sun was setting, and the lights in the living room were not very bright, and Naoki Natsume was standing in front of him blocking the light, so he couldn't really see Mio Izumi sitting with his head down.
The ladies in the room are so twisted in any girl.,Fortunately, Izumi Mio is generous by nature and Naoki Natsume never embarrasses because of this kind of thing.,She's very grateful.。
This is what Mio Izumi thinks is different from Naoki Natsume, he is like a doctor in a hospital, he talks about things, and it is never difficult to talk about menstrual affairs with him.
"yes, I see."
"Senior sister, don't you ask what it is?"
"Just do what the doctor instructs, I don't understand if I ask."
"The new one is that the treatment time is irregular." Naoki Natsume took it as if he had asked, he always felt that the other party did not ask because he trusted, and he was honest when he said it, "A course of treatment every three days, with an interval of one to two days depending on the situation." Although the results vary from person to person, the results can be seen in the worst 10 sessions...... With the luck of the senior sister, I believe that the three or five courses of treatment will be cured. ”
Sure enough, when he heard that it was a traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of irregular menstrual affairs, Izumi Mio was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the medicine in his hand, and his heart was mixed.
Is the nightmare that has made her intermittent pain since junior high school finally come to an end?
Finally...... You can chase your dreams with confidence.
"Thank you, Natsume-kun." Mio Izumi had a lot of words stuck in her mouth, and in the end she only said this heartfelt thanks.
"Yes, I made an appointment with you, senior sister, to cure your illness. I'm a stubborn person, and I'll do what I have to do. ”
"At the beginning...... You just saw that I was in a terrible pain and said that you could help me relieve the pain, but you didn't say anything like that. ”
"Then I'm mistaken, the medicine has been made, and the senior sister will treat me as a forced buyer and a strong seller."
Naoki Natsume made a joke, and Mio Izumi felt more and more comfortable.
Sure enough, Natsume is different from the other boys.
Mio Izumi's eyes reflected Naoki Natsume's serious face.
It's different from all the boys I've seen before.
A smile that is more sincere than others, eyes that are clearer and more serious than others, and...... A character that is more resolute than anyone else.
"You've been exercising for a long time, haven't you?" Mio Izumi looked at Naoki Natsume's injured leg and felt sorry for him.
Naoki Natsume looked down and gently tapped the hardened plaster with his stick, but he was very optimistic: "It's just bad luck, I can't blame anyone." I'm born with bad luck, and this crutch came in handy when I was unlucky in high school. Oh, I don't know whether to be happy or annoyed when I can use it again. ”
Mio Izumi suddenly felt that such a life was really bleak!
She has been lucky since she was a child, and it is hard to imagine what kind of pain it is in life when she is hit by a car when she walks.
"If only I could give you my luck." Mio Izumi said with a heartfelt emotion.
This blurted out sentence proves that she really wants to make Natsume less unlucky.
At the same time as Mio Izumi said this, something suddenly rolled in Naoki Natsume's eyes.
It's like the numbers on a slot machine are rolling, and the words on Mio Izumi's information sheet are rolling.
[Name: "Mio Izumi" (fragment)】
[Perception: 6]
[Stamina: 7.5]
[Luck: 9]
[Mind: 25]
Originally, there was only 10 points of mental value, but at the moment when Mio Izumi said it with emotion from the heart, it rose like crazy, and finally froze at the number of 25 points.
The senior sister's mental value has increased by the largest amount since I met!
Naoki Natsume was stunned, why is this?
He was stunned, while Mio Izumi was reminiscing about her first encounter with Naoki Natsume.
It was a day of training on the playground as usual, and no one would have thought that she would meet a man who would change her life on that day, just as she would not have thought that the menstrual event would come suddenly.
Mio Izumi, who was running, only felt as if her lower body had burst an embankment, and she instinctively clamped her legs, but she still couldn't stop the blood from collapsing.
After struggling to go to the toilet, she took off her pants and found that her sports shorts had been dyed, but fortunately, she had long been accustomed to this sudden menstrual affair and always had sanitary napkins on her body.
But menstruation is not just about bleeding, the severe pain is what makes Mio Izumi the most helpless.
According to statistics, the proportion of girls with dysmenorrhea is 60%, once the pain is up, the stomach seems to be pierced, the lower abdomen affects the whole body, and each labor pain will make the body gradually cold and weak, and eventually even the head begins to ache.
Mio Izumi's menstrual cramps are worse than normal, which is fatal to her sports career-
The schedule doesn't avoid her pain.
Coupled with the irregular menstrual events, she couldn't plan the game time in advance, which made her miss several important competitions and registrations, which made Mio Izumi feel that her luck was exchanged for her body.
Everything else went well, but my dream was blocked all the way...... Heaven is really joking.
She was wondering if to give up her sports dream until she came out of the toilet that day and met Naoki Natsume.
The boy, who had never seen her before, somehow saw her problem, and then the two met through the simple promise of "I can help you".
Naoki Natsume has been using Chinese medicine to help Mio Izumi regulate her body, and she is also helping her keep this unspeakable secret.
"That, Natsume-san?" Mio Izumi's words pulled Naoki Natsume back to reality, "Give you money." ”
She pulled out her purse from her pocket, pulled out a few 10,000-yen bills and handed them to Naoki Natsume.
Naoki Natsume's family background is solid and he is not short of money, he can just be regarded as a favor and Izumi Mio.
But every time, like this time, he calmly took the banknote and stuffed it into his pocket without looking at it.
"I took the money."
"That'...... I'll go home first if there's nothing to do, Natsume, you have a good rest, and be careful not to bump your right foot! ”
Mio Izumi went out with a plastic bag and turned around to wave goodbye to Naoki Natsume, who was delivered to the door.
When she walked away and turned around, she saw that Naoki Natsume had already entered the door and returned, so she spread out her left hand, which had been clenched all along, in front of her.
On her left hand lay a long hair quietly, and in order to prevent it from being lost, she also deliberately circled her index finger.
Paying close attention to the length of the hair, he compared it to his own hair, and Mio Izumi thought thoughtfully.
