When I woke up again, my eyelids were heavy several times, and they were open but almost closed after a while. I wanted to move my body a little, but my shoulders were stiff, sore, and painful. I couldn't help but sigh as I looked at the ceiling in a daze.

The room was quiet, and the only light came from the lamp on the bedside table next to it. The light and shade are also just right, and it seems that it has been adjusted to a degree that is not too dazzling. Next to the lamp were some books and a thermometer that had just been used. At this time, I felt a little hot and tried to sit up with my hands propped up, but after several attempts, it turned out that it was just a waste of effort, so I had to fall back on the pillow.

I couldn't help but show a somewhat irritated and deflated expression.

At this time, Lola just pushed the door open from the outside and walked in, and since she was only wearing socks, she didn't make a sound of footsteps. So when her face suddenly appeared in front of me, I was a little surprised, with a somewhat stunned expression, and I made eye contact with her, and then immediately staggered away. Turn your face to the other side......

"Thank you."

Then, in order to hide his shyness, he was a little restless, and first thanked him in a similar voice as usual. She put the tray she was holding on the low table next to her, and moved a chair from the corner to sit down. Then he smiled at me and shook his head slightly. Then he reached for a notebook and a pen from the bedside table, and showed an expression as if he was thinking about something. Then put the notebook on your lap and open it, writing something.

Just when I was a little curious about what she was writing and was about to look away, Lola had already finished. Then, she picked up the notebook and held it up to me. "I made millet porridge, do you have an appetite now?"

After reading the above, I noticed a bowl of millet porridge on the tray, which looked like it had just been cooked and was still steaming. There were a few dried plums and red dates floating on the surface of the rice soup...... "Thank you, I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

I said in a weak voice.

"Do you want to eat?"

"Hmm."

I hesitated, but nodded. At this time, Lola couldn't help but show a relieved expression and breathed a sigh of relief. So, I picked up the millet porridge with my left hand, scooped about a mouthful with a spoon with my right hand, carefully blew it to cool, and then stretched out my hand to send it over—

"I'll just do it myself!"

Suddenly, feeling a little embarrassed, I hurriedly sat up, and the sound coming from my throat was also a little flustered. I didn't dare to look at her face. At this time, the hand holding the sheet was so numb that he couldn't lift it.

There was also an annoying stiffness on my back that I had just woken up.

"Don't force it, the patient should have a good rest!"

At this time, Lola looked at me seriously, as if she was not very happy. In the end, I could only lean my back on the pillow and accept her kindness. In an instant, the sweet and sour taste made all the taste buds excited.

Over time, the sourness and sweetness slowly blend together. It's neither too sour nor too sweet, and at the same time, the rice grains are very soft and glutinous, and have a unique aroma that is faint but impossible to ignore. "Delicious!"

I couldn't help but sigh quietly in a volume that only I could hear.

"Great, I thought you wouldn't like it."

"Why, it's so delicious!"

With that, Lola was so amused by my serious compliment that she couldn't help but burst out laughing. "If I could, I'd like another bowl!" I still said to her very seriously. "It's still there, do you want it?" Unexpectedly, she naturally cooperated with my joke.

Instantly, I froze as if there was a delay. After a few seconds, he said in an unwilling voice, "Next time." I'm afraid that eating too much will not be good. As soon as she finished speaking, her shoulders shook with laughter.

"Hey! Don't laugh......"

At this point, my voice unconsciously became awkward.

"Hands, up—"

"Why ......?"

"Change your clothes."

As she spoke, she looked at my face suspiciously, and tilted her head innocently. And I, on the other hand, couldn't help but be a little baffled by her request. "If you sleep like this, you'll catch a cold again." At this point, Lola seemed to see my hesitation, and added an explanation to the end. Moreover, I reached out and turned up the lamp so that I could read the words on it more easily.

As a result, I did see clearly, but the temperature of my cheeks was rising at an incredible rate.

"I'll do this myself!"

Suddenly, I was obviously a little panicked, and I looked at her who stood up from the chair and slowly shortened the distance between me and me, and I couldn't help but even the tips of my ears turned red. I was so anxious that I desperately wanted to explain, but I couldn't think of how to explain it.

"Anyway, this me, I won't back down!"

As he spoke, the sound that came out of his throat seemed to be stuck as if there was a delay.

"Can you do it yourself? You can't even lift your arms now, can you? ”

Lola couldn't help but sigh, and her expression was much more serious than before.

"Hmm......"

Suddenly, I came back to my senses when I wanted to refute something, and I couldn't help but let out an unwilling sorrow, and my expression was also very embarrassed. Because, what she pointed out is basically the truth, and even if I wanted to, I couldn't refute it now.

So, I could only honestly raise my hands.

"I'll wash these later, so where's the laundry detergent?"

Then, she bent down to pick up my coat and shirt from the corner of the floor and handed me the notebook with her other hand. "In the storage cabinet next to the washbasin in the bathroom, you can see it when you enter the door."

"Got it."

Then, she walked out of the room and through the carpeted hallway. The footsteps faded into silence, and then finally disappeared completely. At this point, I was relieved to lean back against the pillow. At this time, the window was already gradually brightening.

By the time Lola had finished breakfast and placed it on a tray and brought it to my room, the night had completely dissipated.

"Where's Aster?"

She went to a nearby convenience store to buy some ingredients, and yesterday there were only a few cabbages left in the corner in the refrigerator. I'll be back soon, don't worry. She expertly wrote the words down in a notebook, then picked it up and pointed it towards me.

"Oh."

"And, Chihiro—"

However, the text does not stop here abruptly, but continues to be written. "You're ...... by now Are you all right? "Suddenly, I was stunned for a moment." Do you mean a fever? That's fine! ”

"No, I didn't mean that—"

Then, I finally understood what Lola was trying to ask.

"That's okay too."

"Really?"

At this time, Lola's voice became quieter, and her expression was a little worried. But his gaze has become noticeably sharper than before. "Well, thanks to you." Suddenly, my eyes couldn't help but wander, and my voice became a little hesitant.

In order not to let her see it, she could only scoop a mouthful of porridge with a spoon and send it to her eyes. "If that's the case, fine." Lola sighed and told me with a slightly cold expression. "Delicious!"

"Thank you."

I pretended not to see her sudden cold attitude and changed the subject, and in an instant, although she was stunned for a moment, she accepted my praise frankly. At that moment, the phone in the hallway rang—

"I'll pick it up."

In an instant, Lola stood up, quickly turned and walked out of the room, and went to the hallway to pick up the earpiece. On the phone, it was Izumi's voice. Seems to be in a hurry—"Is it Lola?" Lola, who was keenly aware that something bad might have happened, suddenly became a little nervous.

"Just now, we were targeted by those guys in the basketball club in high school! Shion, she's a little too much to handle now. So, can you please ask Chihiro to come over for a while!? Then the phone was suddenly hung up, and before that, I heard the sound of something being broken......

At this time, Lola, who was visibly shaken, put down the earpiece, turned around and ran towards the room—

"Chihiro! Izumi: They're in trouble! ”

"What? Did you call from Izumi? ”

At this time, I was stunned for a moment, and when I came back to my senses, the spoon I had been holding in my hand also fell to the floor. All the soup inside was spilled. "Did she tell you the location?" At this time, Lola's hand holding the pen was shaking.

"Who is the other party?"

I asked as I walked over and tapped her on the shoulder to comfort her, while trying to restrain my own anxious voice. "It's the guys from the basketball club in high school! Do you remember? That's when I remembered." Anyway, let's go over and have a look! ”

Then Lola took my hand and ran to the entrance!

"Do you know the location?"

"Know! Izumi just said that it was at the supermarket where they worked! ”
