Chow-

Gulp-gulp-

“After…”

Haruta drank water from the drinking fountain because she was thirsty, and smiled into the air as if she was in a good mood.

Then, Igiris Rico came to the drinking fountain just in time. Without even looking at him, she turned her faucet and turned her water on.

She starts washing her face so she turns the water on.

And after a while, as if she was done washing her face, she turned off the water and ran it over her face.

Looking at her like that, Haruta suddenly remembered what had happened to her the day before, so Haruta spoke to her.

“Iggyris-san, weren’t you in the downtown area yesterday?”

“Huh? How did you…”

Then, Iggyrisuko looked a bit flustered. As if telling her to reassure her Haru, she said with a small smile.

“Ah~ Actually, at that time, Iggyris-san was eating at a restaurant I passed by. hahahaha… By the way, Iggyris-san, why were you so angry at that time? It seemed like you were fighting with someone… “

At such a question from Haruta, Igiris Riko suddenly got annoyed and said.

“…You don’t need to know, right? I’m not close with you. Rather, we’re not on good terms, we. And talking to you like this makes me feel bad, so please don’t talk to me.”

She got her annoyed with Haruta, and then started down the stairs to her playground.

“…”

Then, as if she had remembered something, she turned her head back and opened her mouth to Haruta.

“I’m just saying this just in case, but you talk to the other kids- uh, uh…?!”

But just then, as she was walking behind her, she tripped and fell down her steps.

Kung-

Surprised by that, Haruta reached out to her from her seat, but she had already fallen down the stairs.

“It hurts…”

And she groans from her seat away.

She couldn’t even move with her ankle wrapped around her, perhaps because she had sprained her ankle.

Also, the skin on her knee was peeling and her blood was flowing.

“…”

After looking at him for a while, Haruta made a deliberately serious expression and approached Igiris Riko.

Haruta approached her, opened her own mineral water bottle, and poured water on her lap.

“Jotto, Gomen.”

Then she started to see the water running down her lap.

She was surprised by her sudden pain and said angrily to Haruta.

“Ouch! What are you doing?!”

However, Haruta said with an uncharacteristically serious expression, looking only at her wound.

“Stay still. This is to reduce the risk of infection.”

“…”

And Iggyrisko could no longer resist the sight and kept her silence.

That’s how time passed.

As her water bottomed out and all the sand on her lap was washed away, Haruta lifted her mineral water bottle, took her band from her pocket, and began attaching it to her lap.

“…Where did this come from..?”

Iggyris Riko is losing her mind after receiving some help.

To her question, Toyoda answered with a smile.

“Actually, when I was young, I got hurt a lot because I was clumsy. Well, these days I don’t get hurt very often… But I don’t know if that habit has remained or not, so I keep carrying it.”

Riko, who was suddenly embarrassed by his words, turned her head to the side and said, blushing slightly.

“N, I’ve never been lazy… And I don’t really need your help..?”

However, Haruta continued to put on several bands and said.

“Ahahahaha… Even if Iggyris-san doesn’t want it, what do you still want to put on it? You can’t scar the skin of a pretty girl like Iggyris-san, right?”

“What, what?!”

And at Haruta’s careless words, she completely blushed.

And just then, Haruta, who succeeded in attaching a bandage tightly to her wound, came out of her body and said.

“That’s it!”

But it didn’t end there, she squatted in front of her and looked at her back.

“…?”

When Riko was tilting her head at Haruta’s appearance, Haruta urged her to speak.

“Hurry up, Iggyris-san.”

“Ha-ha-?!”

“You sprained your ankle. I’ll carry you to the infirmary, so get on me quickly.”

“Is it okay? I can walk alone..!”

“Quickly.”

“…”

Unlike that, Haruta shows a serious side once again.

Seeing him like that, she, who was still blushing, put her on his back pretending to be invincible.

“I know…”

-The scene where the two of them talk roughly and then arrive at the infirmary.-

“Um… Fortunately, you don’t seem to be seriously hurt? Just a little sprain? An ice pack will do it.”

At the words of the nurse who was checking her condition, Riko Igiris got angry at Haruta and said.

“Look! I said it was okay, Baka! Then why are you carrying it so..!”

“Ahahahaha… Sorry, Iggyris-chan.”

Seeing her like that, Haruta stroked the back of her head. But just then, the teacher interrupted their conversation and said.

“Still, Haruta-kun handled it pretty well? It was like carrying him on his back, and there was nothing wrong with that. Rather, I hoped it was good.”

“…”

Then Igirisu Riko closed her mouth at the teacher’s words. Haruta, on the other hand, smiled awkwardly and moved her steps toward the door of her infirmary.

“Ahahahaha… The gym teacher must be having trouble with us disappearing, so I’ll go first, Igiris-san.”

And Iggyrisko, who was looking at him like that, opened her mouth to him just as he was about to open the door and leave.

“Ah!”

“…?”

Haruta turns to her voice and she turns her gaze to the side with her face blushing.

“A little while ago… I’m sorry, and then, thank you…”

“Eh? Sorry? What happened?”

As she gathered up the courage to apologize for what happened at the water fountain and then to say thank you, she got angry at his question and said,

“All right! Get out of here!”

“Ahahahaha, yes, Iggyris-san…”

And hear her inner thoughts.

‘What, really… I can’t remember anything. Upset. ……But… You look a little different today, that idiot…’

And then she blushed.

****

Four days later. Gym time.

I was engrossed in soccer during PE class, but I suddenly remembered the original and looked around.

Then, Toyoda and Riko Igiris can be seen in the distance.

They were either drinking water or washing their faces at the drinking fountain.

“…”

Looking at him and realizing that the incident was imminent, I broke away from the team and ran towards the drinking fountain.

“Huh? Huh! Hey! What are you doing!”

“Sorry!”

I felt sorry for the remaining team members… But I couldn’t help it because this was more important to me.

I stopped at a nearby bench to grab a water bottle and a band, and as I was running away, Igiris Rico started going down the stairs.

Then she suddenly turns her head at Toyoda’s call.

And she fell down the stairs in that state.

“…”

It’s too late…

I came running like that to stop the incident in the first place…

I reached in front of her, holding on to that little regret, and looked at her condition.

As in the original, she sprained her ankle and can’t move. Also, the skin on her knee was cracked and her blood was flowing.

“…”

Looking at her condition like that, Toyoda, who ran from far away, spoke to her.

“Mi-sorry…! Iggyris-san! I was talking to you for no reason…”

Toyo lifts up his water bottle.

I noticed that he was trying to intervene in the case just like in the original story, so I stopped him and said.

“Toyoda, I’ll take care of it, so can you tell the teacher that you’re going to the health room?”

Toyoda, who was momentarily taken aback by my words, nodded and said,

“Huh? Huh! Okay! But here’s a van in my pocket-“

As Toyoda tried to take out the band, I cut him off.

“Ah! Just in time, I have a band that’s big enough to cover my entire knee, right? There’s bottled water, too.”

Then Toyoda said with a bright smile.

“Ah! That’s a relief, Shujinkoo-kun! Alright, then I’ll go talk to the teacher!”

With that, Toyoda ran to the teacher.

“……”

And just like that, Toyoda disappeared.

I didn’t want to create another tired human after copying the original, so I sat on the stairs and looked at him and said coldly.

“Hey.”

“Huh..?”

“Pour this on your lap.”

“Huh? This… Pour water?”

“Uh. That way germs don’t come in.”

I handed her her water bottle.

That is clean water that has not even been touched. It was the one I carried with me every gym class just for this moment.

When I did so, I handed her a water bottle, and she followed my words with her hesitation and poured the water on her own lap.

“Wow…!”

Then she moaned in pain.

So I watched her pour her water, and when I thought her sand was completely washed off, she threw her bandage at her.

“Come on.”

Took-

“…”

Then, at the oversized band I threw, she gave a slightly displeased look.

She’s probably offended that I ‘threw’ her.

But rather, I was expecting him, so I didn’t care and said it badly, as if I was ordering it as much as I could.

“What are you doing, don’t attach it.”

“…Okay.”

Then she followed my words again and started putting on the bandage.

And so she put it all together. Judging by her, I stood up from her seat and told her.

“Okay then, let’s go to the infirmary. You should get treatment.”

“…”

Then she glanced at me slightly.

“…”

Are you asking for a lift?

I interpreted it as her subtle expectation that she would lift her gaze, and I told her.

“I have no intention of carrying you, so walk on your own.”

Then she got angry at me and said she.

“I-I never expected anything like that!”

“Is that so? No then.”

It’s nothing important, so you should believe it, well.

As soon as I replied that I would know right away, she stood up from her seat and began to walk beside me vigorously.

Jerbug-

Jerbug-

She begins to walk with a limp on her leg.

“…”

Ha…

Seeing her like that… I felt a bit hurt.

“We can do it! Fighting!”

I decided to cheer her on by her side.

***

Arriving at the infirmary, we were immediately diagnosed by the nurse in the infirmary.

As expected, she received the same diagnosis as the original. After confirming her condition, I left her spirited away and left her infirmary.

Then she told me before she closed the door.

“…Thank you, though.”

“Yes.”

After giving a brief reply to her greeting, I headed for the playground.

Hmm, it was really a perfect and neat solution from my point of view.

It must have been the moment when my resolve to never do something like the case of my seniors shined.

***

Infirmary.

Following the teacher’s advice, she sat in her chair for a while and thought to herself.

The image of him arrogantly sitting on the stairs and throwing a water bottle and a band. And while he was limping along, fighting next to him! The image of him shouting something like that.

“…”

At first, I was annoyed because I thought he was cheering me on or making fun of me… But I felt grateful to him for helping me no matter what.

Also, just looking at his usual face, I thought that he, who has a handsome and cold impression… Cheers like that in a playful way, but rather… Looks a little… Cute.

“…”

She felt her own heart beat little by little.
