That nanny, rotten!

It's the first time I saw him with a completely peaceful appearance. That bloodless posture made one wonder who was the one who was injured.

"No, it's all right~ I don't feel very uncomfortable..." Ah, yes, I remembered the content of the momentary amnesia just now: I was hit by a motorcycle on the way across the road to the station, and was followed After the ambulance called by the coming black-faced god was sent to the hospital, he lost consciousness again because he finally felt at ease.

"Ah, Sanada-senpai..." It was pitch black outside the window, and I wanted to thank the black-faced boy who had been by my side all the time, "...Sanada...senpai...?!" I didn't say anything, but he caught me Arms, hugged tightly.

"Really, no... do you feel... uncomfortable?!" Panicked and shaken, the black-faced god hugged my arm tightly, expressing his intense emotions that he had never shown before, and he kept stroking my back with one hand. , as if to make sure I'm alive, have a heartbeat, breathe, and the other hand is just holding my head.

If I have to say it, the pain is actually because the emperor's hug is too tight, right?I myself, nothing happened - it's just that the doctor wrapped the bandage too exaggeratedly with ulterior motives, it looked like a mummy, maybe even the bones weren't hurt~

"I...I...! I even you..." I read right, Genichiro was trembling.

"Shi-Sanada-senpai..." As if he was afraid that I would disappear if he let go of his hand, his fingers that were almost embedded in his shoulders pinched me, "Well, the hand... hurts...".

"Uh, sorry!" Hearing my faint protest like a gnat, Genichiro's body trembled slightly, and finally let go of the arm that was holding me tightly.At the same time, there was a sound of sprinting footsteps in the corridor, and then the door of the ward was almost slammed open——

"Xiao Jiu!!!" Kanata's pale face competed with Sanada, "The police suddenly informed me that you had a car accident..."

"Well, it's not a big problem at all. I haven't been trampled by my brother when I came back from the hiking meeting ~ So it's just that the doctor bandaged it too much!" My brother saw such a hearty smile that I squeezed out with all my strength, It should be at ease.

"This, this way..." Dumb's originally slightly relaxed face, after noticing Genichiro standing next to me, immediately turned into a gnashing of teeth, "When the accident happened, you and Xiao Jiu were together. Right? Mingming is by my side, why on earth would my most precious sister suffer such a thing..."

"..." Genichiro, who lowered his eyelids and remained silent like this, is not the Emperor Likai I know at all!

"Brother, you're enough! It's not Sanada-senpai's fault... It's just that I lost my mind when I was crossing the road... That's all!" That's right, for such a grown-up person, he still doesn't know how to look around. The one who is only thinking about Genichiro's affairs is the culprit who caused trouble for others.

"...Anyway, you can go back today, I will take good care of Xiaojiu, no outsiders need to intervene..."

"..." For the first time, I felt that the silence was so terrible, and it was the first time that I missed the rivalry between my brother and Genichiro so much.

"I still don't understand? Do you have to force me to be more straightforward: I said you can go back!!!"

"Brother...Brother...!" Your tone is basically blaming Genichiro, obviously he did nothing wrong.

"..." Even though he was treated like this, the black-faced god still didn't say a word, just bowed deeply, and left the ward straight away.So, until the end, I had no way of knowing what kind of expression he had at that time. He didn't look at my face, nor at the face of the curly-haired dumb, Genichiro just kept his head down like that.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Are you sure everything has been cleaned up, and nothing was missed?" My brother, who was standing at the door of the ward, asked me.

"Yeah!" It's great to be able to go home on the third day.

"...Phew, it's a blessing that there is no major abnormality in my body..." My brother supported me, who still had some pain in my legs and arms, and sighed while walking.

"So~ I told you I'm fine!" The car accident this time was nothing compared to the previous ones, but maybe it was because of lingering fears, so even though I emphasized that there was no need to be hospitalized, my brother forced me to stay in the hospital A full day in a hospital bed and a full battery of tests.

"I know, I know, let's go home and cultivate slowly—huh?!" Carrying my luggage, my brother who was about to go out suddenly stopped as if he noticed something, "Is this your thing, little one?" Long?"

"Huh?" My brother picked up a small object that fell on the floor and put it in my hand while talking, "This is..." A uniform button looks familiar, but it's not mine, because The buttons on the Hyotei Gakuen shirt are brown to match the bow tie, but this one is sea blue... By the way, it looks familiar because it is the same button as Tachikai's uniform in junior high school!So, could it be that Genichiro Amama's button dropped here?

"I'm back~" Well, sure enough, even though it is a house borrowed from Asajibe, [home] is much more reassuring than a hospital.

The whole person collapsed on the sofa in the living room and before he had time to take a breath, he saw the curly-haired Dumb carrying the dirty clothes I brought back from the hospital to the laundry room, "Xiao Jiu, can we just throw them into the washing machine and stir together like this? "

"No, no need, I can do it myself." After experiencing the embarrassing accident where my brother even helped to do the underwear, I changed from the [clothes and food] party to the [do-it-yourself food and clothing] party.

"What nonsense are you talking about! For the whole week after today, Xiao Jiu, just stay in your room and recuperate honestly!" I really can't do anything about such an annoyed brother, after all, he has always been , As long as things happen to me, I will be overprotective like an old hen.

"..." Then how about Genichiro?Since the unhappy parting the day before yesterday, we still haven't had time to contact him. Should he be notified of the results of the examination?Well, in terms of etiquette——Thinking about it, I took out my cell phone and dialed his number.

Beep-beep-beep... After several rings in a row, there was still no sign of the phone being picked up.Are you busy?So maybe it's better to fight later?

"...Hello..." Just when it was about to be switched to the voice mail, the phone was finally connected, and the voice from the receiver seemed a little nervous and trying to hide it.

"Well, I'm Irie...uh, Kumiko..." Actually, this is nonsense, after all, the emperor is not outdated enough to not have a caller ID on his phone.

"..."

"...Hey duo, shit, it's Sanada...senpai, right?" The lack of response just now made me question whether it was the black-faced god himself who was holding the phone.

"Well, it's me." He responded to my cautious question with a low and somewhat indifferent voice.

"Well, I'm sorry for worrying the senior before...I have been discharged from the hospital and went home...The test results show that everything is normal."

"……Oh, like this."

"There was no bone damage, arms and legs, just scrapes and bruises."

"..." No matter what I said, the reaction of the black-faced god was always indifferent.Of course, he was not a talkative person, but this time he was a little too cold.

"Ah—by the way, did Sanada-senpai lose a button on his uniform?"

"button?"

"Hmm~ It seems to have fallen at the foot of the bed. Since it is blue, it must not be on my Ice Emperor uniform, it should be you, senior..."

"Yes..." Genichiro's unprecedented perfunctory response made me inexplicably uneasy.

"Well, Sanada-senpai is still a member of the discipline committee... It's okay to be disheveled, I'll send it to you..."

"No..." was interrupted, "There's no need for that... If I'm free in the near future, I'll go get it myself."

……

"If you have time", when does this ambiguous answer refer to?

And why, the speaking voice is so blunt and distant?

"... I'm very busy. If that's all you have to say, then... goodbye."

"Huh?!" Before I could say anything more, the emperor hung up the line.

No matter how I think about it, I feel so strange. What happened?The black-faced god suddenly became like this, could it be that he is still brooding over the curly-haired dumb that day?

I care, I really care.

I was so concerned, I was so upset that I was sitting on pins and needles-no, I must ask clearly!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Taking advantage of the time when my brother was busy fighting with dirty clothes, I slipped out of the house and rushed back to the gate of the familiar Lihai University High School in Kanagawa with my body covered in bandages.At this time, the tennis team should be training, so he didn't lie when he said he was busy. I insisted on running here, but I would actually cause trouble for others—but just take a look to confirm that he is not Angry at my brother, after returning the button to him, I went back immediately!

"What's the matter?" This time it was connected almost instantly, but the voice on the other end of the phone seemed very annoyed.

"I,
