As we traversed the short distance of the Club Building to the Administration Building, Hina perfectly acted as soone sick.
She even looked pale that when we ran into soone from our class who went back to get sothing she forgot in the classroom, the girl was convinced that Hina was really sick.
The girl even offered her help to bring Hina to the infirmary.
Naturally, there’s no reason to refuse. That’s why at the mont, we’re now traversing the last ten steps of the stairs up to the 2nd floor of the Administration Building.
When we reached the front of the infirmary, I turned to the girl and thanked her.
“What are you saying Onoda-kun? We’re classmates, it’s only right for to help. Will you be looking after her?” The girl humbly received my thanks before asking.
“Yes. I already asked soone from the class to tell Eguchi-sensei the situation. Thank you again, Urabe-san. Hina will probably say the sa if she can talk now.”
Alternating her gaze between Hina and , the girl wryly smiled and nodded. “I see. I will also tell them the situation. But get an Excuse Form from the Nurse in case Eguchi-sensei looks for it.”
“Un. I will.”
After that reminder, Urabe-san left us as she hurried back to the Gymnasium.
As for us, I whispered to the girl who’s acting unconscious, “I am now convinced. You also have great acting skills. No wonder you made believe so things about you.”
“Shut up, Ruki. Go in now. My arm is about to get sore.”
“Ah. Right, right.”
Opening the door to the infirmary, we were imdiately greeted by the neat and tidy atmosphere it was exuding. The faint sll of disinfectant was also pervading our noses, giving this place a sowhat cozy feeling.
Surprisingly or not, the mysterious school nurse was currently in.
“Ara? You again, huh? What’s wrong with her?” Dropping the file she was reading on her table, Hayashi Makiko, the mysterious school nurse, pulled out a thermoter from her lab coat pocket and approached us.
This was the third ti I was seeing her and she still looked the sa. Her kinda thick makeup and that purple lipstick of hers that accentuated her mature figure were aligned with how I rembered her during the two instances I was here.
She seed to have recognized , however, she still instantly moved onto her real job.
As soon as she reached us, Hayashi-sensei put her hand on Hina’s forehead to take her temperature.
Right, she didn’t use the thermoter she pulled out but her own hand. Well, there’s no use asking her why she brought it out and didn’t use it.
“What is this? Another weakened student? Hmm Onoda-kun, do you really have a curse?”
And she rembered my na.
I guess the two instances where I brought soone here really made a mark on her mory.
“Uhh… If you put it like that, maybe I am. Can she use a bed, sensei?”
“You’re not denying it, huh? Alright go on and put her down so I can check what’s wrong with her. You know what to do, right?”
“... Get a drink for her?”
I answered after putting Hina down at the sa bed where I put Sakuma and Rae before.
“Bingo.”
“Sensei, don’t tell you’ll be gone again when I return.”
Since this was a rare chance, I couldn’t help but voice out the suspicion I had about her.
From the two instances I was here, she was always gone when I returned.
“Don’t ask any unnecessary questions. Go.” While smirking as if she’s admitting to my question, Hayashi-sensei waved her hand to shoo away.
Before leaving the room, I glanced at Hina who was probably trying hard not to giggle from what she was witnessing.
Ah. In any case, it will really be better if she’s gone by the ti I return from getting Hina’s drink. That way, we’ll have more ti for ourselves.
As my foot sent to the nearest vending machine, I ran into Shio who was going back from her the School Building.
Upon seeing , my beautiful teacher instantly had her scrunched-up face look bright. However, perhaps rembering the schedule of our class, her eyebrows soon furrowed as her expression turned to the commanding side of her.
“What are you doing here? Are you slacking off?”
Before answering her, I looked around us first to make sure that no one would be able to make another crazy rumor if I used this chance to greet my Shio.
“Uhm. Not slacking but I escorted soone to the infirmary. As you can see, I’m buying an energy drink.”
I raised the can in my hand and her eyes shifted to it for a bit before returning to . “Ruru, is it a girl?”
Her question was straightforward, huh?
There’s no reason to lie to her though So I simply nodded my head and that earned a sigh from Shio.
“You… You better be careful.”
As if she didn’t know if she would reprimand or not, Shio ended up sighing again as she reminded .
Following that, she resud her steps towards the nearby Administration Building.
Before she completely left my vicinity, I answered.
“I will. Don’t worry. I’ll see you later, Shio.”
When she heard my last sentence, she imdiately turned her head to and sent a glare before whispering, ‘See you, idiot Ruru.’
Well, what I ant by seeing her later was for when I arrive ho later and see her there at the dinner table.
She refrained from coming yesterday and I needed to show my presence to the old landlady again. My promise to sleep at her apartnt would be done next week.
Although I could say that I would be busy, Shio was also sowhat busy tying up loose ends on her divorce with that Nobuo. Most of her things were still in that house. The things in her hobby room were left behind there and she’s eagerly waiting for the divorce certificate to arrive before she goes ahead and moves those to her apartnt.
After getting another drink for myself, I returned to the infirmary and as if she was irked by what I asked earlier, Hayashi-sensei was still in the room.
“There, I’m still here. What can you say now, Onoda-kun?”
“Uhh… I apologize for my earlier question, sensei. I was just curious.”
“I know. I’m aware of that rumor about . But you see, I’m doing my job diligent--”
BEEP!
She was trying to lecture that I have misconceptions about her. However, before she could even finish her words, a beeping noise instantly filled the room and that was coming from one of her lab coat pockets. Hayashi-sensei’s serious expression froze as it gradually turned apologetic. “… Err… There seems to be an imdiate matter I have to attend to. I apologize. Listen, this is not leaving my post! I will be back soon!”
After leaving those words, the mysterious school nurse picked up the file she put down on the table and hurriedly left the infirmary.
However, a few seconds later, she ca back with only her head sticking from the door, “Onoda-kun, if I’m not back by the ti Mori-chan’s state gets better, lock the infirmary door for , alright. And co back here one of these days to see doing my job properly!”
And that’s the last words she left as she once again disappeared from this... empty room.
I shook my head and stopped myself from speculating where she would go or why she would even try to explain it to .
When I reached Hina’s bed, the girl finally couldn’t stop her hearty giggles.
Her expression was now brighter than earlier, I guess that conversation between and Hayashi-sensei managed to expel the leftover downcast mood of this girl.
“Is it that funny?” I asked but instead of answering , Hina just continued giggling on her bed.
When she perhaps got her fill of laughter, she stretched her arms and pulled down with her.
In less than a few seconds, Hina’s arms and legs coiled around before she pulled open the blanket on the side to cover both of us. “I am fine now, Ruki. Thank you for bringing here.”
With a beautiful smile on her lips, Hina then pulled herself up to reach my lips. Without waiting for to answer her, Hina covered my lips with hers.
