The tearing sensation caused by the separation of the nail and nail bed of the thumb is estimated to be the most common and stinging pain that ordinary people can experience.

Especially for sports students, injuries are commonplace.

But Mio Izumi is more special, probably because of her lucky physique from childhood to adulthood, so that she will not be injured often even if she has heavy training.

Injuries require recuperation, rather than hustle and down at school memorials, or even help carry heavy stoves and freezers.

"I'm fine." Mio Izumi waved her hand, pursed her lips and chose to ignore the pain in her toes, "It's just that I accidentally bumped it last night, and it has been disinfected and bandaged." ”

Probably this is the special function that ordinary people practice with their gray life, Naoki Natsume doesn't even need to use the information bar, just by looking at the walking posture of the senior sister, you can guess which toe was injured, and now what the wound has become.

He's injured every toe more than once in the last ten years, and he's been thinking about things from time to time during countless days of self-recovery.

did not complain about others, did not complain about why it was himself, but learned from the pain.

Perhaps this is the shining point that Naoki Natsume can't hide, and this is what attracted Mio Izumi in the first place - even though he is subject to the malice of this world, he still grows into an elegant and easy-going man.

"Senior sister is here."

Naoki Natsume took her senpai's hand, took her forearm, and helped her to sit down on a bench on the tree-lined path.

The reason for the "holding hands and eloping" that I didn't say just now is this, holding hands and helping at the beginning may make the senior sister walk less painfully.

As for the remaining three points of selfishness, he also wants to try what it will be like to hold his senior sister's hand.

It's completely different from the marshmallow-like touch of Amamiya Chizuru......

Holding the senior sister and sitting down, Natsume Naoki half-squatted beside her and asked softly, "Can I take a look at the senior sister's foot injury?" ”

"Actually, it's really nothing," Mio Izumi suddenly panicked, girls who practice sports are actually not so confident in their feet, often running and jumping and sweating, in fact, girls' feet are more likely to smell: "Natsume-kun, don't ......"

In fact, today's shoes and socks are new, and they still smell of lavender from the surging laundry detergent, which is not unpleasant.

And Natsume Naoki's mind now doesn't care about these things at all, he just has a slightly solemn face: "I think your wound has been cracked, senior sister." ”

Unable to resist Naoki Natsume's request, Mio Izumi had to agree to take a look through the socks, if he wanted to take off the socks too, exposing his little feet like a white rabbit to the boy he liked, Mio Izumi was categorically refusing.

The shyness of sports students is especially cute when I look at it now.

Usually this season, girls are either JK with round toe shoes, cute and cute Japanese-style high school uniforms, so that even girls who go to college look immature.

Otherwise, it is sandals, and sandals are also divided into many genres, such as sock sandals, which have become popular recently.

Mio Izumi is actually not very sensitive to these popular things, if it is Amamiya Chizuru, it will definitely be paired with a cute and temperamental outfit, and when it comes to the senior sister, it is actually very ordinary jeans and sneakers.

Under Naoki Natsume's gaze, she looked up to the left and right with a little embarrassment, for fear that someone would come to this quiet path, and when she saw the embarrassment of taking off her shoes, she hesitated to untie her shoes.

The white socks with lovely lace, and the scent of lavender made the stone hanging in Mio Izumi's heart fall a little...... Fortunately, it took more effort to move things in the morning, and I didn't run or jump......

But then the smell of blood, mixed with the smell of lavender, made the attention of both men suddenly tighten.

By the time the toes were completely out of the shoes, the surface of the socks on the thumbs of the feet was already soaked red with blood.

"Sure enough," Naoki Natsume looked solemn, "The wound has been cracked, look at this outline, did the senior sister use gauze to bandage it?" ”

Mio Izumi nodded.

Naoki Natsume continued: "The gauze is wrapped too much and is not breathable, plus sneakers and socks...... Fortunately, the wound was found in time, otherwise it is not good for the wound to be so stuffy, the oxygen-free environment is easy to infect, and it is difficult to deal with suppuration. ”

Mio Izumi had forgotten when she was injured last time, and she was somewhat negligent, plus her mother cared about it, so she just felt that it was good to disinfect and bandage, and the wound was tighter.

"The Great Age of Genes"

The senior sister was so focused on the campus festival that her concern for Naoki Natsume even overshadowed herself, so much so that when the two had lunch together, she forgot that she still had injuries on her feet.

Looking at it now, Naoki Natsume's worries are not unreasonable, and he has to deal with the wound quickly.

After putting on her senior sister's sneakers, Naoki Natsume squatted in front of her senior sister again: "Come on, senior sister, I'll carry you to the infirmary." The campus memorial infirmary is also open as usual, as has been the case for previous sessions. ”

As for why he would know about this convention...... It's all blood and tears.

Mio Izumi shook her head, her face flushed: "I can go by myself." ”

"Walking too slowly, in fact, I used it to forcibly carry the senior sister away just now, but because there are too many people, I'm afraid of making some bad misunderstandings." Naoki Natsume suddenly turned on the offensive, and his attitude was a little tougher than usual: "I'm not asking for the opinion of the senior sister, this is a senior brother exercising the power to protect the senior sister." ”

Izumi Mio was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

The minister who has always been a minister who speaks well in the sports club, even if Kashima Heiji discusses anything with her, he has always spoken respectfully.

Naoki Natsume completely broke through the layer of window paper between the senior sister and the junior brother at this moment, and raised the relationship between the two to a more ambiguous level.

So for the first time, Mio Izumi showed a little little obedience as if he was following his instincts, and he didn't have the idea of saying no, but nodded lightly, acquiescing to Naoki Natsume carrying himself on his back.

So the two of them were as harmonious as Grandpa Tong carrying Asuna on his back on the lakeside plank road, walking on the tree-lined path towards the infirmary.

Naoki Natsume doesn't walk slowly, this road is even more familiar, and going to the infirmary is as natural as going home.

On the other hand, Mio Izumi crouched on Naoki Natsume's shoulder, feeling the cool autumn breeze on his face, looking at the perspective that was much higher than usual, and occasionally seeing the half-green and half-yellow leaves on the roadside branches sliding in front of him, and a little happiness sprouted in his heart.

It's good that the injury is also a lucky thing.

Can Natsume-kun carry him to the infirmary like this...... If only this road could go all the way on.

Natsume-kun doesn't seem to be as weak as he used to be, and his body has become much stronger.

It's good, it's better to be healthy than anything else.

Natsume-kun's previous thin and weak appearance was distressing to look at, but in a blink of an eye, he was already able to carry his senior sister!

The pictures that have guided him in the past six months are vivid, and the bits and pieces of the two people come to mind.

The warmth flowing in the heart of Mio Izumi gradually trickled from the slightest trickle to the ocean!

As long as the heart likes the embankment, there is no possibility of stopping it except overflowing!

So Izumi Mio slowly lowered his head, leaned on his shoulder, looked at Natsume-kun's side face that was very serious because he was worried about himself, and felt that if he couldn't marry Natsume-kun in this life, how dark would his life be?

Thinking about it, her mouth moved closer to the side of Naoki Natsume's face.

Probably feeling the range of movement on his shoulder, Naoki Natsume turned his head: "What's wrong with senior sister, the posture is uncomfortable......"

Before the words fell, the hot touch on his cheeks made both of them look stunned, and Naoki Natsume even stumbled and almost fell.

"No...... No...... It's not ......" Mio Izumi's face swelled and red as quickly as the inflated ball, her little hands waving in the air, instinctively covering her face with her forearms.

"Not what you think!" Mio Izumi's face was redder than the persimmons with frost in autumn, and the warmth in her heart went straight to the zenith, making her face as if it was steamed.

The only thing Izumi can do now is probably hide her face behind her arms and hide her heart as if she was stealing a bell.

What could be more embarrassing than wanting to steal a kiss and being discovered?

Of course there is, for example, now she is lying on the other party's back, and she is being held up by the other party with the thigh meat under her buttocks, and she can't even run away.

Naoki Natsume's face is also a little red, not only from the girl's lips, but also from the young man's restless heart.

"Blame me, blame me," Naoki Natsume got cheap and behaved, and forced the smile on the corner of his mouth to take the pot to himself: "I'm sorry senior sister, what is about to arrive at the infirmary, you bear with it a little, and it won't hurt to deal with the wound." ”

"Hmm...... Well. ”

Mio Izumi whispered, is it important to have a wound on her foot now?

The pain can't compare to the embarrassment and shyness!

Fortunately, Natsume-kun immediately returned to normalcy and began to move towards the infirmary again.

If Natsume-kun stops where he is, he has to ask why...... Will I have to be forced to confess?

Izumi Mio was worried for a while, if this was the case, what kind of answer would Natsume-kun give?

Is it that you are very good and I don't deserve it, or do I like you too, senior sister?

Natsume doesn't think so much, maybe boys sometimes have more intuition than girls.

Now he only feels that the warm sun in the sky makes the autumn scenery on this campus more comfortable.

Carrying my senior sister all the way to the infirmary, I came to the door of the Nanami School Doctor with a familiar car, and a familiar smell of meat came to my face before I entered the door.

"Is the school doctor here?" Naoki Natsume knocked on the door and asked politely.

Of course, it is also a reminder to the school doctor, don't suddenly push the door in and scare her.

"Enter."

is still such a lazy tone and a naturally charming tone, so that people don't need to meet to know that they must be a mature and charming royal sister.

This kind of voice that is a big sister when you hear it is not as embarrassing as some people who are A when you hear it.

Pushing the door in, Nanamiya was indeed barbecuing meat with an alcohol lamp as a fire source, and the oily high-quality beef on the barbecue grill exuded an enticing aroma and drooling color.

It's just that the white coat is hung on the wall, maybe the barbecue is easy to crumble, and Nanamiya is now wearing a black crewneck sweater.

The sin that made people subconsciously look at it more didn't catch Naoki Natsume's eyeballs for too long, he pushed the senior sister to the hospital bed and sat down, and hurriedly said: "You help take a look, senior sister, her foot wound is torn, and it may be infected." ”

Nanamiya had seen him enter the door with Mio Izumi on his back, and he was still wondering if the little guy in Asai had planned to do it after the school festival in advance?

As a result, she looked at Mio Izumi's shoes revealing blood-stained socks, and she almost guessed the truth of the matter.

Hooked his hand at Naoki Natsume, and when he walked in front of him with a puzzled face, Nanamiya handed him the clip in his hand: "Help me grill meat, you can eat it if you're hungry." ”

"Oh yes, remember to use the lid to extinguish the alcohol lamp, don't blow it."

While explaining things to Naoki Natsume, she changed into a white coat, took out a disposable glove belt, and came to Mio Izumi.

"The gauze was wrapped too much, and it was stretched too tightly." Nanamiya took off Mio Izumi's socks and looked at the wound carefully: "There are already signs of infection, so it should be treated earlier." ”

Hearing this, Naoki Natsume was a little ashamed, he actually noticed something wrong when he was handling the ingredients before his senior sister cooked, but at the time he thought he was wrong.

If you can be confident and find it an hour early, maybe you won't have to clean up and leave the wound cracking.

Nanamiya looked back at Naoki Natsume and shook his head: "Little guy, did you get this injury for her?" ”

Naoki Natsume was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Mio Izumi was anxious first, and hurriedly waved his hand: "I knocked it myself." ”

"Then why do you want to feel guilty?" Nanami got up and came back to get the disinfection things, removed the dirty gauze for Mio Izumi, and disinfected and bandaged it again: "Or did you stay with that guy in Asai for too long, and you also got the problem of having to make yourself ashamed?" ”

Naoki Natsume heard from Nanamiya's mouth that she had a big opinion about Asai's current state of mind, which strengthened his suspicion that the two of them were old acquaintances before.

"Nanami School Doctor, did you know Asai before?" Natsume Naoki asked subconsciously.

He came back to his senses after he asked this, as if his senior sister was still on the scene.

It's bad, why are you so straightforward?

"Asai ...... She has had a bad temper since she was a child, but because of that car accident, Asai's personality has become more extreme. Nanamiya sighed softly as she recalled the stubborn little girl she had when she was a child.

Naoki Natsume was stunned, extreme?

Asai's personality is obviously very good, but where can you see the extreme?

Wait, car accidents?

"What car accident?" Naoki Natsume was puzzled.

Nanamiya turned his head to look at Naoki Natsume, squinting, a little uncertain: "She didn't tell you?" ”

"Nope."

"That's weird, it's because of this incident that she ......"

Nanamiya thought thoughtfully: "Didn't she tell you anything when she came from Hokkaido?" ”

A layer of sweat oozed from Natsume's forehead, and he was eager to tell Nanamiya about the maid, maybe he could get some new information about this suspicious maid contract.

But the senior sister is on the scene, how can she speak?
