After carrying Sakura back to the room, everything was cleaned up, and the girls were left to solve it.

After leaving the room door, I walked to the door of Chiyuki Chikatsu's room and knocked on the door.

[Sister Qianxue, excuse me, is it convenient?] ]

[Huh?] What's wrong. ]

Chiyuki opened the door and looked at the emptiness outside the door.

[Sakura has a fever now, and her temperature has just been measured at thirty-eight degrees Celsius, and her condition is slightly serious.] I carried her back to her room, and now she rests in it, and I go downstairs to get the heat reducer. ]

[Okay, I'll go over now.] Chinatsu, I'll take care of Sakura, and you can do your homework yourself. ]

[Okay ~ sister, take good care of Sister Sakura; Brother too. ]

[Yes, you don't need to say it.] ]

After listening to my words, Qianxue turned around and reminded Qianxia in the room to study hard and close the door.

[Then I'll go down and get the antipyretic patch first.] ]

[Hmm.] ]

Watching Qianxue walk towards my room, Sora also went downstairs to get the heat reducer.

In the case of fever, the body will lose a lot of water after sweating, so it is necessary to prepare a glass of water. Sora picked up the cup from the living room that Sakura had just drunk the powder, walked to the kitchen and poured a glass of water, and took out the antipyretic patch from the medical kit.

After making sure that there was nothing missing, Sora hurried back to the room, handed the antipyretic patch to Sister Qianxue, put the water cup on the bedside table, and took out the cold medicine and put it aside for later use.

[Wait until you drink enough water to rehydrate, and then go to bed quickly.] ]

While Chinatsu was feeding her water, Sora went downstairs to get a towel, wrapped the ice pillow in a towel, and put it next to the pillow, and then heard Chinatsu muttering in a low voice: [...... The action is really neat. ]

[It's just a matter of doing what I did to you again.] ]

It's pretty much the same thing I did when I took care of the two sisters after they got rainy. It's just that now it's a different sick object, that's all.

[... I'm sorry... It's true... To you... Sorry for the trouble. ]

[Don't think so, I don't think you're causing us trouble, but it's that Sora-kun cares about you.] ]

Sakura blushed and hid under her eyes in the quilt and whispered. And Chixia retorted to her, the other party didn't make trouble for herself, but just did a lot of nothing.

[Just helping each other, she helped me a lot, I just reciprocated.] Besides, there is no reason to ignore the presence of a sick person. ]

[Poof, Kong-kun is so responsible.] ]

Sora retorted that he was interested in Sakura, but he was still seen through by Qianxue, but it was just that Sora was still being strong.

[Okay, Sakura, you can take this opportunity to rest.] We'll tell your family about the rest. ]

Chinatsu was so comforted.

[Don't be cranky, I've never felt a burden to take care of you, and you don't keep saying that you're causing us trouble, just get some rest.] I went out first. ]

After Sora said this, he left the room, although it was his own room, but now it was his classmates who were lying down and resting. Sora didn't dare to think nonsense, so he went downstairs to the entrance, opened the door and blew the wind, and waited for Sakura's family to explain Sakura's current situation to the other party.

Actually, she is like this, it would be better to go back to her own home, but her family hasn't come home yet, so she is afraid that something will happen, so Sora still hopes to rest at home for the time being, and she is accompanied by Sister Qianxue.

Sakura, who was in the room, heard Sora say that, and her heart was bumping into a deer. He said I wasn't a burden and didn't bother her...... I don't know if it's because of fever or shyness, Sakura's cheeks are red at this time.

[Sister Sakura, you have a good rest, I'm going back to tutor Chinatsu with her homework.] If there's anything, just call Kongjun~]

[...... Well, I'm sorry for your trouble. ]

[Don't say that, remember, there's something to add Kong-kun~]

Chixia smiled evilly and left the room, not forgetting to bring the door with her before leaving.

。

Sakura was lying on the bed, and the light from the window allowed her to see the ceiling. The pale golden eyes wandered uneasily, the room was empty, and the feeling of physical discomfort was particularly clear. She was looking forward to the boy being able to accompany her, and from the beginning of the power outage to the present, he was almost by her side and took care of herself.

Although he fell asleep on the sofa against him, the other party didn't seem to do anything. Sakura felt very relieved.

As for the boy she was thinking about.

At this time, I was sitting in the hallway, and the door was open and looking outside, looking as if I was looking at the rain, but my eyes were staring at the house opposite.

A couple of cars slowly approached and stopped in front of Horii's house.

Two people got out of the car, a man and a woman, and the woman walked to the door of Horii's house with the key in her hand and was opening the door.

Watching the other party's movements, Sora stood up, picked up the umbrella beside him and walked to the woman who was opening the door.

[Sorry excuse me.] ]

The woman looked at me in surprise, after all, she didn't know who I was.

[Excuse me, my name is Sora Imaizumi, and I'm the person who lives across the street, and I'm also a classmate of Sakura Horii.] ]

[It's Imaizumi-san, Sakura told us before, thank you for taking care of that child.] ]

When the woman heard this, she looked at me in surprise. At this time, the man also parked the car and walked here.

Because I saw that the other party didn't take an umbrella, I was drenched in a little light rain. I hurriedly held him with an umbrella.

[Thank you lad, by the way, what are you talking about?] ]

The man looked at me with some confusion, and then the woman hurriedly explained to him.

[This is the Imaizumi that Sakura mentioned to us earlier, and he lives on the other side.] ]

[Ahh I remember, it was you. The man was a little surprised, but quickly reacted and bowed his head to Sora in thanks, [Thank you very much for taking care of Sakura.] ]

Seeing the other party bowing his head and thanking him, Sora couldn't help but be a little flustered, and hurriedly waved his hand.

[No, no, no, you're serious, in comparison, I'm still taken care of by Sakura.] ]

[Oh, you kid, you're so humble.] This is Eijiro, my husband, Sakura's father. And I'm Sakura's mother, Aika Horii. ]

Miss Aijia pointed to the man.

[Uncle Ejiro, Miss Aijia is good.] ]

I bowed my head to each other one by one.

[By the way, is there something wrong with Sora-kun?] ]

Miss Aijia asked suddenly, and I finally remembered what I was here for.

[Ah, sorry, almost forgot.] I'm very embarrassed, Sakura-san has a fever now, and she is resting at my house, and my sister Chixia is taking care of her. I took my temperature, drank cold medicine, took fever reducers, and I gave her a fever patch just before I left the room. So now it should be resting and having dinner. Well, that's all, and the reason for Sakura's fever is actually me. I'm really embarrassed. ]

Sora bowed deeply, and in the words full of apologies, he begged the other party to forgive him.

And the two people who listened to Sora and said these words looked at Sora like this. The first to make a move was Miss Aijia, who gently straightened my body and hugged me.

[Thank you so much, I don't even know what to say.] How should I say it, you are the same as Sakura said, you are a serious and responsible person, and I really thank you for taking such meticulous care of Sakura. ]

Sora couldn't help but be a little stunned, not only did the other party not blame himself, but also thanked himself in turn.

[Well, don't you scold me?] ]

[Why, it's too late for us to thank you, and Aijia, it's time for you to let go.] ]

[Ahh ]

[No, it's okay, that's ......]

Miss Aijia rubbed my head and comforted me.

[Don't think about it, we don't think you're doing anything wrong, but you're doing it right.] After all, if Sakura has a fever at home alone, we as parents will also be troubled if we are not there. ]

[Sora, we won't say anything about you, Aika is right, if we're not at home, Sakura will hold on instead, but fortunately there are you.] ]

Miss Aijia comforted me so much, wanting me not to dwell on this matter, and Uncle Eijiro saw my entanglement.

[Whew, thank you both for your understanding.] ]

Sora bowed deeply again.

[Eh, you kid, hurry back, Sakura will take care of you, and ah, thank you sister for me, sorry for the trouble for you.] ]

[No, no, no, no, Miss Aijia, don't say that.] This is causing us trouble, but we are causing trouble for your family. I'll pass it on to my sister. ]

[Okay, then please, Sora-kun.] ]

After thanking the two of them again, Sora looked at each other and waved back home, and turned to go home himself.

[Sakura-san's family is all good, and the relationship between the family is also...]

Thinking of this, Sora is a little envious of Sakura, a complete family, loving her parents...

These are the things he once wanted to have...

Hmm, don't think about it, now I have a new family, and Uncle Bodao (Chiyuki Chixia's father) who I haven't met. Although there is a video chat these days, even if it has been more than two months, the other party is still like a newlywed, and they have been flashing. So Sora didn't bother the two of them.

。

When I got back to my room, I knocked on the door, but no one answered.

[Rude, I'll come in.] ]

I thought that Sister Qianxue would accompany Sakura in the room, but after opening the door, there was no one else inside except Sakura who was resting.

(Looks like I'm going back to tutor Chinatsu with her homework.) ）

Sora came to the bed and sat down, and as she watched Sakura lie quietly on the bed, she remembered her parents.

Sakura's parents are very affectionate.,And they care about their children.,Although it's not at home most of the time because of work.,But you can feel the other party's love for Sakura.。 Especially Miss Aijia, who has always told me that she must treat Sakura well and not bully her for anything.

I don't even have a girl's hand... No, it seems to have been involved, or Sakura-san.

Whew, relax and relax.

Taking a deep breath, he stabilized his cranky heart, but when he saw Sakura lying quietly in front of him, he felt a little restless inexplicably.

Thinking about other things now doesn't help. I feel like there are thousands of ants crawling around and crawling to get ...... However, it seems that I can't afford to have nasty emotions.

[Hmm-huh...... Empty? ]

[？ Sakura-san, what's wrong? Is there anything else that is uncomfortable? ]

Sora, who was pulled back from his thoughts, heard Sakura calling out to him, and hurriedly asked about the other party's physical condition.

[... Not. ]

[Is there anything you want me to do?] ]

[...... Not yet. ]

[Then it's better to take a break.] Sora got up and prepared to leave the room.

At this time, Sakura slowly raised her head.

In the darkness, her flickering eyes stared straight into the air, as if praying for something.

Sora felt that unsettling emotions began to brew in those pale golden eyes, and he couldn't help but sit down on the spot.

[... Empty? ]

[Nothing.] ]

Sora just sat silently on the edge of the bed and looked up at Sakura who was doing it on the bed.

[It's okay anyway, let's talk before you rest.] ]

[...... Good. ]

Sora leaned on the edge of the bed and smiled at her, though he didn't know if he was a smile or not. Looking at him like this, Sakura smiled reassuringly.

[... This was the first time someone took care of me when I was sick...... Parents often...]

[I know, I've met with both of you.] ]

[eh??? Already.... Have you seen it? This.... It's not even a parent. ]

[Yes, I just went out to wait outside just to see the two of you, Miss Aika is a very gentle person, and Uncle Eijiro is also a good person.] They are worried about you, but they know that we are taking care of you, so they can leave it to me. ]

Before she could finish what Sora had said, Sakura had already gotten under the covers and hid.

[Well, my father really is.] ]

[I think your family really cares about you.] Besides, it's not just me today, but if you don't recover sooner, I don't know if I'll be dragged out and beaten by Uncle Eijiro. ]

[...... Sorry to tire you up. ]

[Don't say that, Uncle Eijiro isn't that kind of person.] It's even more nonsense to beat me, okay. You'd better have a good rest. ]

Sora didn't want the other party to get entangled in this regard, so he got up and was about to leave.

[Hmm, Kong-kun, stupid.] ]

Sakura muttered quietly.

[I hear you.] ]

[...... You're very gentle. ]

[Yes.] ]

Hearing others say that they are gentle in person, I feel a little embarrassed in my heart.

[It's almost time for you to sleep...... Sleep until you feel tired and you'll get better. ]

[...... Well. ]

[Do you want me to stay with you?] ]

Sora said jokingly to hide his shyness. Sakura looked at Sora and blinked, and replied:

[..... So be it. ]

[Huh?] ]

[You were the one who spoke first.] ]

[Yes, yes, but shouldn't it be a stern refusal at this time?] ]

I didn't expect Sakura to agree, and I thought she would definitely refuse with a flushed face. Sora couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise, but Sakura smiled mischievously.

[Or is it that manhood doesn't count?] ]

[....... No. Come on. ]

Originally, I just wanted Sakura to have a good rest and not have a psychological burden, so I made a joke, but I didn't expect the other party to agree with what I said.

I messed it up this time. Sora muttered quietly and took Sakura's hand, and Sakura lay down and got into the covers.

Then, she looked at the hand that was being grabbed by the accused, and her eyes softened.

[...... It's so warm. ]

[You just took medicine before resting, and then you had a good rest, and the fever went down a lot, and it was not so hot...... Go to sleep. ]

[Okay.] ]

Sakura shook his hand and closed her eyes with a calm expression, as if she felt relieved because she was free to be in company. It is also possible that the body is too tired and now falls asleep as soon as you relax.

Listen to her slower, regular breathing.

（...... This, stupid. ）

Sora covered his face with his other hand and couldn't help but moan.

Maybe it's because of the weakness of the body.,Being touched by Sakura like this coquettish.,Sora really can't calm down.,Even if it was proposed by himself at first.。 His heart was beating so hard that his face was hot as if he had been infected by Sakura's fever.

The empty body became hot, and now I couldn't even tell who was having a fever.

（...... This guy is really bad for his heart. ）

Sora looked at Sakura's face and saw that she was sleeping very peacefully, where did she know the contradictions in her heart.

[It's really... Enough is enough. Sora snorted in annoyance, and after finishing in annoyance, he buried his head in the bed.

It was obviously his own bed, but he smelled a sweet aroma that didn't belong to him.

。

When Sora woke up, the warmth next to him was still there.

And looked at his hand, which was still held by Sakura at this time, and Sora was still lying on the side of the bed with his head buried in it.

He hurriedly looked up and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table, which showed nine o'clock in the morning, and realized that after that, he slept for a long time and went straight to the next day. Maybe it was because he woke up in the middle of the night to check Sakura's condition, but he didn't expect that he would sleep for so long, so he slowly withdrew his hand and prepared to get up and go downstairs to make breakfast.

Under normal circumstances, even on weekends, Sora maintains the habit of getting up around 7 a.m.

After pulling out his empty hand, he walked quickly downstairs to the bathroom. Then I saw Chinatsu sitting on the sofa in the living room, although she was still wearing Pikachu's pajamas.

[Brother, good morning.] ]

[Good morning, belly?] ]

[Not yet, I'm waiting for my brother.] By the way, what about Sister Sakura? ]

[I haven't woken up yet, I may have to wait, I'll go wash up first, and then I'll have a simple breakfast.] ]

[Good~]

After thinking about what to do for breakfast, I went to the bathroom to wash up.

When I came to the kitchen, I took out the goji berries and white sugar from the refrigerator.

Soak the wolfberries in water and set aside, then wash the millet and pour it into the pot, adding water. Bring to a boil over high heat and bring to a boil over low heat.

When the rice porridge is thick on low heat, add a small spoon of white sugar to the pot, and finally pour out the water soaked in the wolfberry, pour the wolfberry into the rice porridge, and turn off the heat after boiling again.

The practice of millet porridge is actually a simple breakfast that everyone will have in the empty hometown, and millet porridge has a light taste, with the characteristics of stomach digestion, for sick people, it is the best choice for breakfast.

Then Sora took four more eggs from the refrigerator, poured water into the pot, put the eggs in the pot, covered and steamed.

After finishing the preparations for breakfast, he shouted to Chinatsu in the living room.

[China, it's time for breakfast.] By the way, call Sister Qianxue. Breakfast was rice porridge and the eggs were still steaming in the kitchen. ]

[Good~]

After saying this, he took out a spoon and bowl, filled a bowl of millet porridge, and got up and went upstairs.

On the way, I happened to meet Qianxue who came out of the room, she looked at the porridge in my hand, nodded to me, and turned to go downstairs.

[Sakura, are you awake...... Excuse me. ]

Saying that, Sora gently pushed open the door that didn't close when he just went downstairs, and Sora didn't hear the response inside, so Sakura was still sleeping, but when he pushed the door open, he found that Sakura had already sat up on the bed.

There was still a hint of blush on her face, but it wasn't as noticeable as yesterday.

Although her expression was still a little dazed, she narrowed her eyes as soon as she saw the sky, and then quickly lowered her head and buried her head in the quilt.

Well, really, it's so cute that it's foul.

[Early... Quiet. Sorry, I didn't wait for you to respond before I came in. How's your body doing? ]

[...... Still a little weak. ]

[Well, breakfast is ready, I'll bring it to you.] Sister Qianxue and Qianxia are already eating, probably. ]

After all, Sora only knew that they had gone down to the first floor, and he didn't see if they were eating.

Sora couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Sakura was more energetic than expected.

Putting down the bowl and spoon, he picked up the thermometer from the desk and handed it to Sakura.

[You take your temperature first, and make sure it's better than pride.] ]

With that, he walked out of the room and closed the door gently.

After a while.

[Empty, it's OK.] ]

When she heard Sakura's voice, she said [rude] and opened the door and walked into the room.

[What is the body temperature?] ]

[Thirty-seven .5 degrees.] ]

Looking at the numbers on the thermometer that the other party brought to me, the empty heart relaxed slightly.

[Well, I still have a little low-grade fever, so I'll report it truthfully this time...... Don't move around now. ]

[You still remember yesterday's events, it's really incomprehensible.] ]

[Tell the truth, do you have an appetite?] I made millet porridge for breakfast. ]

[Hmm, bothering you.] Yes......]

[Don't apologize.] I've been apologizing, and I'm embarrassed. ]

Sakura still seems to mind being taken care of. Sora was a little helpless, so he had to pick up the bowl on the table.

[Come.] Can you eat it yourself? ]

Sora handed out the spoon and asked narrowly as she took the porridge, and Sakura frowned a little dissatisfied.

[Are you looking down on me?] If I say no, do you still want to feed me? Hmph]

[Well, that's not ......]

Sora then added: [If you tell me to feed it, I'll feed it, don't be angry.] ]

Sakura blushed as if she had a fever again.

[...... I, I eat it myself. ]

[Oh, good.] ]

Sakura took the spoon in her empty hand and took a small sip, but the flush on her face did not fade until she finished eating.

At present, it seems that her body is much better, and she just needs to recuperate in peace and wait for her strength to recover. Seeing that her complexion was relatively better, Sora was relieved.

After Sakura finished eating, Sora handed her a tissue. Then he put his hand on her forehead and found that it was not much different from her normal body temperature.

[...... Makes you worried. ]

[No.] ]

Sora unconsciously touched Sakura's head, and when he saw Sakura freeze still, he realized his mistake, and he actually took care of Chinatsu in the same way as Sakura.

[Sorry, you don't like it.] ]

[...... No, it's not. ]。

Sakura said slowly, shaking her head. She shook her head not to avoid the empty hand, but to deny what Sora had said, and she then rested her forehead directly on Sora's arm.

Feeling the weight gently leaning over, the empty heart jumped suddenly. He quietly touched the cherry blossom again, and then heard a very slight whisper: [...... Thank you. ]
