Chapter 195: Long Time No See
It's raining. Raindrops are blown by the wind and fall diagonally on the windows and slowly flow down the transparent glass. Narumi looked out the window, remembering whether the day in his dream was sunny or cloudy.
It doesn't seem to be that important...... Early on Saturday morning, it's Yayoi's turn to cook early. After drinking the warm Miso soup, the girl picked up the bowl and quickly cleaned it up, he walked to the entrance, picked up the umbrella hanging beside him, and walked out the door.
Walk on the ramp in front of your house and turn on your phone with your head down. The map shows the locations of all the first-class hospitals in Tokyo, and more than a dozen of them have been marked.
"It's too inefficient to find it this way......" Getting on the train, Narumi Yu looked at the map software on his phone that started navigation in a daze, and finally smiled bitterly.
But I also had to look for it. Otherwise, there is always a concern in my heart - how is the eldest lady who saved herself from the car accident.
Did you fall into a condition that could not be cured because of that car accident...... If that's the case, maybe it's better to stay in your dreams all the time...... Walk off the tram, hold up your umbrella, cross the street, walk into the hospital, shake off the water on your umbrella at the door; I walked into the hospital, and after more than ten minutes, I came out, put up my umbrella again, and walked into the rain.
This kind of scene is repeated in the rain. Every time he visited a hospital, he made a mark on the map.
Maybe the hospital will hide from him the news that Imadegawa Chisaka is there, or maybe he has missed it with the girl.
But at least he was a little more at ease sitting on the tram to the next hospital.
"Sorry...... Among the recently hospitalized patients, there is no one with the surname Imadegawa. ”
"It's okay, thank you." ............ [6:40] [Yayoi: The meal is ready. Narumi sat on the train to the last hospital and looked out the window.
The street shop signs are getting brighter, the street lights are coming on, and the sky is getting darker and darker. [Yuu: Hmm.]
The train stopped at the platform, and he got off the train halfway through and got on the way back.
"Let's look for it again tomorrow......" night and drizzle wrapped the light from the windows of the rental house. Narumi tilted her head slightly on the ramp and saw the figure of the girl standing on the balcony outside the window.
Approach. The girl had already opened the door at the entrance. Yayoi didn't wear a coat early on, and only had a thin sweater on his upper body.
"Isn't it cold?"
"Only stood for a few minutes."
"Then put on a coat too." He saw the girl's hair with raindrops blown into the balcony by the breeze,
"In case I'm late."
"It's late enough." Yayoi Aki left him alone to change his shoes at the entrance, turned around and walked into the house,
"When do you want to come back?"
"When Yayoi-san found out that it was useless to send a line message, he couldn't help but call me." Narumi Yu changed his slippers, walked into the house, and rubbed his nose when he saw Shang Wen's dinner on the table.
The action was discovered by Yayoi Akizao, and the girl chuckled lightly, and smoothly brushed the hair that fell to the side of her face behind her ears.
"The next time you lie, make up some assumptions that you can make."
"Of course I can, I won't be back tomorrow night without your call." The person who said this sentence was already sitting at the dinner table at this time, picked up the fast son and sandwiched a piece of fish meat that was just cooked well.
"Did you find it?" Yayoi Aki sat down across from him and asked suddenly.
"Nope." Narumi shook his head, and then commented,
"This dinner will be four and a half o'clock." He casually entered a restaurant at noon to hide from the rain, the cold and quiet atmosphere in the store is very good, but the level of cooking is very poor.
"......" Yayoi Autumn did not respond, but quietly looked at Narumi Yu's face buried in rice, and discussed softly,
"May I ask Qianjia?"
"Why?" He stopped picking up the rice and looked up a little strangely and asked.
"I also hope she is alive and well." Yayoi Akiza's expression seemed to be examining Narumi Yu, and it seemed to be in a simple daze,
"After all, without her, I would probably miss you."
The surroundings of "......" suddenly fell silent. They all ate while listening to the sound of the rain falling.
"How many hospitals haven't been to?" Yayoi Aki changed the question early.
"There are seven hospitals that meet the medical level." Narumi Yu replied subconsciously, his eyes met with Yayoi Akiza's clear eyes, and he understood what the girl meant.
It's like Yayoi Aki has been waiting for a reply from his missing father. If Imadegawa Chisaka is really gone.
He has been tossing and turning from hospital to hospital, at least enough time to accept this.
"I'll definitely find her."
"......" Yayoi Aki looked to the side,
"You don't have to say that to me."
“……”………… On Sunday, the sky was clear. I don't know when the letter stuffed into the mailbox in front of the rental house will be washed away with some sad and dull thoughts, like yesterday's rain.
The content of the letter is simple. It's so simple that it can't be called a letter at all, it's more like a message note.
It has the address of a hospital in Bunkyo Ward. The handwriting is unfamiliar. But the only one who would send him such a letter could be her.
Narumi walked briskly down the stairs, folded the letter and put it in his pocket, and ran towards the nearest tram stop, heading down the ramp.
It wasn't until I caught the tram that arrived on time in the morning and sat in my seat that I was able to catch my breath. The sound of the heartbeat became noisy because of the hurry.
Even when it was time to get off the station, the body had rested, and the heartbeat was still pounding as if it hadn't slowed down.
"Excuse me, excuse me, is there a patient with the surname Imadegawa who is hospitalized......?" Narumi stood at the front desk of the hospital and asked the question that had been asked twenty or thirty times.
He felt that his heartbeat was too loud, lest he not hear the response of the nurse at the front desk.
"Wait a minute, let me look it up...... Ah no......" The other party first responded subconsciously, and then reacted, smiling apologetically,
"To visit a patient, you need to confirm the information of the visitor, according to the patient's request, you only need to confirm the name."
"Narumi Yu." He interrupted the nurse and as he spoke, he immediately took out his student ID from his pocket.
“…… Miss Imadegawa is in Room 1 on the third floor. ”
"Thank you." The heartbeat was louder, Narumi took a breath, grabbed the student ID card in his hand and was about to leave, but was stopped by the nurse again.
"The patient only woke up last night and is still very weak, remember to light his steps and sound."
"Hmm." OK. She also woke up from her dream. Narumi ran up the stairs, slowed down the hallway, and slowly walked towards the single room to the southeast.
It would probably be the longest corridor he'd ever walked. He said hello to the nurse who was guarding outside the ward, stood in front of the door of the ward, raised his hand and hesitated for a long time.
Finally, there was a soft knock on the door.
"You can open the door directly, Narumi-san." A familiar voice, with a bit of weakness, came from inside the room.
Although it was light, it completely suppressed the noisy heartbeat and silenced the world. Little by little, he pushed open the door and took a deep breath.
"Long time no see, Chisaka."
"It's only been half a month." The girl sitting on the hospital bed looked at him coldly and sighed softly,
"And, salutation."
"I'm sorry......" Narumi Yu originally thought that he would be more excited at this time, but when he really saw the other party, he only had peace of mind and satisfaction in his heart.
So he laughed and said,
"Long time no see, Great Angel."
"The door to the ward is not closed, Narumi San."
