Teruzuki Sugawara lay on the bedside and stared at the thermometer in his hand with a worried expression on his face. The mercury column representing the temperature had soared past the scale of 39.

"Dang Ma, where did you find such an old-fashioned thermometer?"

"Ahem, I think, heck, that's not the point, is it?"

"This thermometer must not be mistaken, don't move, I'll measure it for you again..."

The boy lying on the bed was full of helplessness. He was pressed on his shoulder with one hand, and the cold thermometer was stretched out and stuffed into his clothes.The girl who came over happened to be looking down at him, her long black hair slid down softly and fell onto his shoulder, cold and itchy.

Kamijou Toma slightly turned his head uncomfortably, and grabbed Hui Yue's hand that was trying to mess around, "Okay, I've re-tested three times, it's just a fever, it's nothing serious."

Huiyue stared at him with her head down, and in this posture of kneeling on the bed, she shook the thermometer in the other hand, "39:[-] degrees! You can heat eggs on your forehead, isn't that a big deal?" ?!"

"Ah, wouldn't it be nice to just finish your dinner?"

Kamijou Touma tried to make a joke, but the black-haired girl kept staring at him ungratefully.

She seemed to be really angry, and even the word dinner failed to divert her attention.

When he realized this, Kamijou reluctantly put away his somewhat exaggerated expression, and watched her eyes soften, "It's really not a serious illness. The technology and medical level of Academy City are at least 20 times ahead of the outside world. Years. For minor problems like a cold and fever, just take some medicine and sleep. And I actually don’t feel anything at all, if you didn’t say I wouldn’t have noticed.”

When he spoke, the flush on his cheeks hadn't faded, and his face was a little pale.Huiyue forced him to lie on the bed with the quilt on his body. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. I don't know if it was because of a fever or simply heat. Come thick as solidified ink.

The black-haired girl looked at him without saying a word, and she didn't seem to be comforted by these words.Those sea water-like eyes were pressed down heavily, a little deep blue.

"Is it like this before Touma?"

"what?"

"When I lived alone, I didn't even notice that I was sick."

"Forehead……"

After staring at him for a few seconds, Huiyue suddenly let out a "hum", and stood up with her arms crossed, "Since Touma is sick, just lie down on the bed honestly. For the sake of being sick, I will take good care of you." your."

"..." Looking at her suddenly full of energy, Kamijou Touma suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Under his nervous gaze, the black-haired girl stood in the room and looked around, then glanced at the wall clock on the wall, "It's already past five o'clock, um, let's start by making dinner!"

"Wait!" The ominous premonition came true in seconds, Kamijou Touma sat up in shock, grabbed Huiyue's hand and looked at her in horror, "I'll do this! Or go downstairs for convenience It’s okay to buy fast food from the store, just let my kitchen go!”

"What, Touma made it sound like I was going to make a biochemical weapon in the kitchen."

"Is not it?!"

The two argued for a while, and finally they each backed down a step.

Kamijou Touma struggled to get up, stood at the door of the kitchen, instructed Teruzuki to cook a pot of white porridge step by step, and watched her not to put anything more in it the whole time.

When the black-haired girl stirred the porridge that was heating in the pot with a spoon, she said angrily, "Really, Dang Ma doesn't believe me at all."

"The price of believing you is too heavy. I don't have the money to redecorate the kitchen again."

"I don't blow up the kitchen every time."

"Even if it's probabilistic!"

The aroma of porridge slowly overflowed from the edge of the boiling soup. Huiyue stirred the bottom of the pot with a spoon, and suddenly remembered something, and turned around, "Speaking of which, you are sick, so you can't go to work today, right?"

"Ah." Kamijou Touma leaned against the threshold of the kitchen, raised his hand and rubbed the broken hair on his forehead, a little helpless, "I can only call the owner to ask for leave."

"Hmm..." Huiyue thought for two seconds, then suddenly raised her head and showed him a sly smile.

"..." Kamijou Touma conditioned weakly, "What are you going to do again?"

"I'll go for Toma."

"what?"

"Part-time job, I'll go instead of Toma."

"So that's the case, so Kamijou-kun is sick?"

In a convenience store, a colleague who worked part-time with Kamijou Touma suddenly said.

Huiyue folded her arms and nodded, and complained seriously, "I said that I came here instead of him, but he didn't want to. A person with a high fever of 39 degrees should just lie down on the bed. It's really a worry-free brother. !"

"Haha, Kamijou-kun is also worried about you." The colleague smiled and agreed, and looked at the girl in front of him with envious eyes, "So Sugawara-san, do you live with Kamijou?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?"

"Uh ha ha ha, it's nothing, it's just that Kamijou-kun hasn't mentioned it to us before, and there's a younger sister at home."

"Because it didn't come a week ago."

"what?!"

"I'm joking." Huiyue smiled at him, and picked up a can of coffee, "Is this placed over there?"

"Ah, yes."

Until she walked away, the colleagues in the store watched the girl walking towards the shelf and whispered, "It is said that she is Kamijou-kun's cousin."

"Although they both have black hair and blue eyes, they don't look like each other at all."

"The temperament is also quite different, like the eldest lady of some noble family, does Kamijou-kun still have this background?"

"I really envy Kamijou, cousins ​​can get married, right?"

"It is true that the civil law has regulations... have you thought so far?"

……

It was probably the exclusive privilege of a beautiful girl. The colleagues on duty at the convenience store took good care of her, so although Huiyue came here for the first time, there was basically no situation that made her feel in a hurry.

It seems to be quite simple to work.

The black-haired girl stood behind the cash register, tidying up the workbench while thinking thoughtfully.

She thought of Kamijou Touma's meager wallet, and an idea popped into her mind.

At this time, the electronic clock on the wall had reached ten fifty, and there were very few customers coming to the convenience store.Although the convenience store is open 24 hours, Kamijou Touma came here temporarily to work, and there is no night shift. The working hours end at eleven o'clock, which means that Kaguzuki will be able to leave work in 10 minutes.

The night is already deep, and the moon in the sky probably escaped from work these few days and escaped inertia, and is still sleeping behind the clouds tonight.Without the illumination of the moonlight, the night outside the glass door seemed extraordinarily thick, and even the convenience store spread a quiet atmosphere.

Huiyue dozed off in front of the cashier, she couldn't remember what she was like before, but during the few days she lived in Kamijou Toma's house, her schedule was very good, and she was usually in bed at this time and ready to sleep.

In such a quiet environment, the sound of the clock hanging on the wall in the store is particularly clear. "Click, click", like a regular lullaby.

The girl lying in front of the cashier's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and her consciousness was a little fuzzy. She heard the doorbell ringing in a haze, as if a customer had come in.

"welcome……"

She struggled to raise her head, and the people who entered the store had already passed her by and went straight to the shelves at the back.Just at this time, he came over early at the same time as the shift change. He looked at the drowsy girl, smiled kindly, and stood behind the cash register and gestured "I'm coming" to her.

Huiyue nodded immediately, then threw her head back into her arms, preparing to sleep through the last 10 minutes.

In the quiet convenience store, only the rustling movements of the colleagues around me tidying up the cash register, and the steady footsteps of the only customer.

He seemed to search around the store, stopped in front of a certain shelf, and walked to the cashier again.

The hoarse voice fluently reported a series of foreign words, "Is this brand of coffee gone?"

The clerk was stunned when he heard it, and it took him a long time to realize that he was talking about a certain type of coffee that was newly introduced in the store.That lengthy foreign language sign was neither English nor French. Although it sounded like Latin, it wasn't any familiar language at all. God knows what language it was, and the clerk himself didn't remember it.He was confused for a while before he realized, "Ah, yes, if you are talking about the one in the blue package, it is indeed gone, and the new one will not arrive in a few days."

"Tsk, what a hassle..."

The clerk stood stiffly behind the cash register and laughed dryly. For some reason, he always felt that the person in front of him was very dangerous, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

Fortunately, the other party didn't intend to argue with him too much, so he lowered his eyes and turned around, ready to leave.

The clerk carefully watched him leave, and the moment the white-haired boy turned around, a colleague who seemed to be asleep beside him suddenly said something.

"Drink coffee at this hour, do you still want to sleep?"

The white-haired boy suddenly stopped walking towards the door.

The clerk watched in horror as he turned his head and looked at the people around him. The clerk stopped breathing for a moment.He didn't see the expression of that person clearly, he just felt that his eyes seemed to stop on the person beside him for a second, and then he looked away, raised his footsteps and walked out the door.

The clerk almost suffocated himself in one breath, until the footsteps of the white-haired boy went away in the night, he let out a long breath, patted his chest with lingering fear, and muttered to himself, "That guy is Who? It must be a high-level ability user, right? The aura is too terrifying, it can't be..."

The only seven code names of level 5 in Academy City flashed in his mind, he gasped, and immediately comforted himself, "Impossible, impossible, how could such a big man meet so easily... "

"Big man?"

"That's right, those are the ones standing at the top of Academy City..."

The clerk suddenly woke up in the middle of speaking, and suddenly lowered his head, "You, you, are you awake?"

"Ah." The girl lying on the cash register raised her head and looked at him, blinking her eyes, "Did someone come just now?"

"..." The clerk looked back wordlessly, "Yes."

You even talked to someone, don't you remember?

Huiyue was silent for a moment, then stood up suddenly, "Where did he go?"

The clerk pointed in one direction blankly, and then watched in shock as his colleague put one hand on the table, stretched out his hand and neatly turned over the cash register, opened the door and chased out in that direction.

"Sugawara-san? Hello! Sugawara-san??"

The clerk Zhang Er who was thrown away was puzzled. He looked blankly at the closed glass door and muttered to himself, "Is it someone you know? But, there is no need to be in such a hurry, right?"
