monosyllable echo

"Well~ fools all have the same face."

Standing in front of Qihai's hospital bed and looking at this sleeping face, thinking of Teacher Xingyue's resentment in a helpless tone just now, I couldn't help laughing again.

Suddenly, I remembered a similar sentence, which seemed to be—unfortunate people have their own misfortunes, but happy people all have the same expression.

In fact, there is not much connection between the two, but I still can't help thinking, I hope these idiots with one face can welcome their happiness with the same expression.

"Hey, Natsume. If you keep staring at Nanami's face, I'll really think you've empathized. Well, maybe Nanami, who has been rescued by you several times, will also fall in love with you. The infirmary of Tsuki Gakuen started their romance, ah~ it might be a happy ending.”

I was pulled back from my thoughts by Teacher Xingyue's nonsensical complaints, and I realized that I had indeed stared at Qihai for a long time, and then contacted Teacher Xingyue just now, I quickly closed the curtain and went back to Teacher Xingyue's desk, But unconsciously blushed.

Oh, damn it!Are you a teacher? !How can you make fun of students like this!

Unconvinced thinking like this, I shouted angrily: "Ah! It must have been infected by Kazuki that Tom Su boy recently! The evil spirits are gone!"

"Yo! So you see Shiranui as an evil spirit~"

Just after Teacher Xingyue finished joking, Yuezi and Tianyu broke in immediately, and the news they brought was: "Mr. Xingyue! President Kazuki was injured protecting us! Please hurry up and take a look!"

"Hey, Natsume, Kazuki might really be an evil spirit."

"……Well."

How should I answer you, Teacher Xingyue.

Because I was a little worried, I ran out early, the corridor on the second floor of the teaching building.

I walked over step by step, and the first thing I saw was Aozora-kun who was staring at me. As soon as he saw me, he called out, "Natsume-senpai."

Across the figure of Aozora waving to me, I saw Kazuki standing against the wall. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw broken glass and baseballs on the ground not far away. I thought I knew what happened.

Kazuki who heard the voice also looked towards me, and when he saw my gaze, he unconsciously put his back behind him.

Well, from the looks of it, it shouldn't be serious, it's just a hand scratch, luckily.

Just now I said that I hope you can welcome happiness, but now I am hurt.

It seems that the road is still long.

I nodded to Sato and walked towards Kazuki step by step. Kazuki looked at him with a slightly surprised expression, but it wasn't the same as before. Well, it was mixed with a little...confusion?

——"Look. People who want to protect you will come when they say so."

The sudden sound startled me, and I followed the sound to find Baiyin standing in the shadows.

Hearing Shirogane's words, Kazuki's eyes instantly became as bright as reflective crystals, with a little smile, he responded with a rare ease and relief in his tone: "Yes."

I looked at Shirogane and Kazuki for some reason and smiled at each other, uh, what were you talking about just now?Why are you so happy all of a sudden?

However, looking at it this way, it should be reconciled, right?

Just reconcile.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Finally, I took a step forward and walked in front of the two of them, and I laughed out loud.

Shirogane, who was standing on the side, asked, "Ajiu, what are you laughing at? It's the first time I saw you with such a relaxed expression when Kazuki was injured. I thought you would come up and grab him by the collar and scold him violently." !"

I turned my head to look at Yuezi, Tianyu and Teacher Xingyue who were already rushing towards this side, and turned my head to smile again: "I'm so happy that it's not that Kazuki was injured."

"what is that?"

This time it was Kazuki who asked the question.

Stupid!

"I'm so happy that the two of you are finally reconciled!"

I raised my head and looked seriously at the two people in front of me, I smiled happily.

very nice.

After standing aside and watching Teacher Xingyue bandage Kazuki's wound bit by bit, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Teacher Xingyue shrugged and left helplessly: "You called me out because of such a small injury, are you a little girl?"

Yuezi on the side immediately became dissatisfied: "Teacher Xingyue! How could this be?!"

Tian Yu also echoed, "Nununu, it's still a minor injury if you're bleeding!"

"Aha~~ I'm so sleepy, I've been tossing to death all afternoon! The patients are all gathered together! I want to go back to sleep."

No longer answering the phone, Teacher Xingyue made up his mind to go back to the infirmary to catch up on sleep, but I pulled him off: "Mr. Xingyue, please stay for a while. I have something to say, I hope you are here, Teacher."

There is one thing, if you don't do it now, you don't know when it will be.So, now!

Teacher Xingyue, who was grabbed by my sleeve, lowered her head and looked at me for a while. Seeing my firm attitude, she finally sighed and compromised: "Quick battle, don't make me feel bored."

After getting such an answer, I thought I must have laughed again. There should be no other expressions on my current expression except a smirk.

Looking around at the people around, Sa Dou, Xiaoyi, Yuezi, Baiyin, Teacher Xingyue, and me from the student union are only short of Yu.Well~ forget it.

"There is one thing, I want to rely on everyone's strength! Because I am the only one who has gone through many detours, and sometimes got into a dead end, and finally realized that I can't do it alone, so please everyone!"

I bowed deeply, then raised my head and saw everyone's confused expressions as expected, I secretly cheered myself up, and finally fixed my eyes on Kazuki.

I want to convey to you, please take it seriously.

"Kazuki, I said it once before, but I still want to repeat it here——If Kazuki keeps pushing himself, if Kazuki doesn't take good care of himself, then I—"

Considering the pause, I looked at everyone, and finally said: "No, this time we are going to protect you!"

Yes, that's it, what I want to express.

"If you are too aggressive, we as friends will be very angry, because Kazuki, you don't know how to cherish yourself. So in order to avoid such a situation from happening again, I decided that someone needs to supervise Kazuki! And not just one person, but everyone Together! So, we will watch over you."

Not only to be protected, we also want to protect you, it may be difficult for one person, so let's work together!

Speaking of this, I unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Kazuki's bewildered expression, I joked: "Also, complaining is useless~ isn't it, everyone?"

Having said that, I turned my head to seek everyone's opinions, and got affirmative smiling faces suddenly enlightened.

"I agree, Natsume-senpai."

"Nunnunu~ Xiaoyi agrees!"

"I will supervise President Kazuki well, Natsume-senpai!"

"Pfft~ I suddenly feel that you, Kazuki, have become a prisoner of labor reform. Ah Jiu has made a cruel move this time."

"Even me? Well, then if he comes to the infirmary, I'll report it without hesitation."

Seeing everyone saying words of approval one by one, I suddenly feel that I need to go further~

So, I deliberately coughed to attract everyone's ideas, and blinked my eyes: "Then, let's quickly make us angry in the next life~ Kazuki, you are too messy!"

Saying so, I jumped in front of Kazuki and stretched out my finger, "Boom—" and flicked hard on the forehead of Kazuki who was still in a daze.

"Hey! It hurts so much."

Well, it looks good~

I turned my head and looked at Shirogane who was standing on the side, Shirogane immediately slapped Kazuki's forehead knowingly: "There's still me~"

"Hey! All of you, don't you want to come!"

Kazuki raised his head in horror and wanted to back away, but it was too late, Shirogane and I supported Kazuki on the left and right, encouraging everyone to come over and have a blow~ So——

"I'm sorry, President Kazuki. I hope it won't happen again."

"Hey! Satou you!"

"Nunnunu~ Next is me! Huohuo, you have to cherish yourself~"

"It hurts so much! Xiaoyi, you... didn't I save you just now?!"

"Then, I too..."

"Even confinement you... eh!"

"...I was specially kept by Natsume, and Russia and Japan paid the full amount because you made special visits."

"Eh?! Teacher Xingyue, are you coming too? No!"

Walking on the path back to the dormitory, Kazuki kept complaining while covering his forehead with his hands: "You guys are so cruel! Now I can imagine that my forehead must be like Maitreya Buddha with a red spot in the middle now without looking in the mirror. Click it! No! Maybe it’s green already!”

Beside him, I couldn't help laughing at him: "Pfft~ I said it's punishment. I have to make you hurt. If it doesn't hurt, you won't reflect on art."

"Uh, I really lost to you!"

Even after saying such words, Kazuki didn't show helplessness or dissatisfaction on his face, what kind of expression is he at this moment?I don't need to say that you know it too.

How long has it been since this expression of being cared for and happy appeared on this face?

With everyone by your side, even if the journey to happiness is still far away, it’s good that you can show this expression.

"Then, it's my turn next~"

I stared blankly at Kazuki's face approaching all of a sudden, and before I had time to react, I was hit hard on the forehead.

Covering my forehead with my hand, I called out to Kazuki who was smiling wickedly, "Hey! It hurts so much! What are you doing!"

Kazuki put his big hand on my head with a natural expression: "Don't think I didn't see the band-aid on your leg. And I asked Sakura Shirou to bring it to me today. Aku, you are very self-willed too. .”

I suddenly remembered that I cried and begged him in those days not too far away: "Hey, Kazuki, did you take good care of me? Please take good care of me, it's only me."

Now, there should be no such sad mood anymore.

Because ah, he is standing not far from me now.

The background is the bright night sky, the bright eyes are in front of me, and my reflection is in the pupils.

not good!I couldn't control myself, tears were about to fall.

Lowering my head in a panic, I suppressed my crying and said, "Hey, Kazuki, thank you."

He must have noticed this strange voice.

You will definitely be asked what happened.

Maybe he will be ridiculed as a crybaby.

However, nothing has changed.

The big warm hands on my head still gently move and comfort along my hair.

The voice that reached my ears was ethereal but real like a dream.

"It's me who should say thank you."

I watched my tears fall to the ground.

I really want to be with you all the time.
