The girl's lips were like a dragonfly touching the water.
A touch and then a separation.
Chihaya Anon quickly removed her right hand, took half a step back, and said with a flushed face:
"The treatment is over."
Kitahara Makoto opened his eyes, his tone subtle:
"You just… "
"I just touched Kitahara-kun's lips with my finger," Chihaya Anon raised her hand to cover her mouth, deliberately showing a shocked expression on her face, "Kitahara-kun wouldn't think I was kissing him, would he?"
"No way?"
"Kitahara-kun wouldn't be that naive, would he?"
Kitahara Makoto: "…"
As expected of someone who served as Student Union president in middle school, her acting is quite good, but unfortunately, your apple-red face has already betrayed you!
Since Chihaya Anon was unwilling to admit it, Kitahara Makoto naturally wouldn't say much, just quietly watched the pink-haired girl perform.
"Eh, wait a moment—"
Chihaya Anon suddenly furrowed her delicate brows: "Why are your eyes still red?"
Because this uncontrolled state was more severe than the previous times, a simple kiss was clearly not enough.
"Could it be that the answer book made a mistake?"
Chihaya Anon muttered to herself.
"The redness in Kitahara-kun's eyes has indeed faded a bit, so the answer should not be wrong… Is it possible that the time wasn't enough?"
Chihaya Anon quickly thought of a possibility. After hesitating for two seconds, she extended her right hand again with a flushed face, reaching to cover Kitahara Makoto's eyes.
Kitahara Makoto stepped back half a step in exasperation:
"I feel like I'm fine now…"
"Stand still and don't move," Chihaya Anon lifted her pretty face and commanded, "I know better than you whether there's a problem."
Kitahara-kun's eyes are so red; when Tomori comes back, she'll definitely see it at a glance and will naturally ask the answer book… At that time, no matter how dull Kitahara-kun is, he'll definitely know that I secretly kissed him.
No!
Absolutely not that!
"Since I chose to treat the illness and save a life, I must be responsible to the end…"
Chihaya Anon found an excuse for herself in her heart, covered Kitahara Makoto's eyes with one hand, and then, with a flushed face, stood on her tiptoes again.
A moment later.
Chihaya Anon quietly retreated, quickly wiping her lips with the back of her hand.
"It should be fine now, right?"
Unlike the previous fleeting touch, this time it had lasted for several seconds, which should definitely be enough time.
However, Chihaya Anon soon discovered that Kitahara Makoto's eyes were still red.
"Why is there no change at all?"
"Even though it's been a long time…"
Chihaya Anon bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, then suddenly widened her eyes, thinking of another possibility.
"C-could it be to extend… "
No, no!
A simple touch could still be called treating an illness and saving a life, but going further… there's no way to deceive herself anymore, right?
Even for revenge, the sacrifice is simply too great!
At this moment, Kitahara Makoto's voice quietly sounded:
"I told you, you can't do it."
"Woah—"
Chihaya Anon's pink cheeks immediately puffed up high, like a little squirrel with its mouth full of chestnuts.
So angry!
Super angry!
Why can't I do it?
People are easily impulsive when agitated. Just now, because of 'treating an illness and saving a life,' Chihaya Anon was already in a state of accelerated heart rate and dizziness. In her impulsiveness, she actually huffed and puffed, stood on her tiptoes, and directly bit him…
Then Chihaya Anon regretted it.
Impulsiveness came quickly, and regret came just as quickly.
Chihaya Anon originally thought she could just mess around and escape; as long as she was fast enough, there would be no danger. But she forgot that Kitahara Makoto was in an uncontrolled state at the moment. Under her provocation, Kitahara Makoto actually chased after her directly.
She wanted to retreat.
But her slender waist was caught by Kitahara Makoto.
In her panic, the city gate easily fell.
Immediately after, her tongue tried to retreat timidly, but her mouth was only so big, and it was quickly caught by Kitahara Makoto.
And then...
Chihaya Anon only remembered her head spinning, a shock-like tremor sweeping through her body, and then she couldn't remember anything.
Minutes later.
Kitahara Makoto looked at the pink-haired girl in his arms, her pretty face flushed and her breathing ragged, and softly asked:
"What was that just now?"
"..."
Chihaya Anon was panting, her pretty face turned away in embarrassment, unable to continue saying it was her finger.
"Th-that was just a special reward for you..." Chihaya Anon's pretty face was burning, her gaze not daring to meet Kitahara Makoto's, "Only this one time, no exceptions!"
Kitahara Makoto raised an eyebrow and said:
"You don't want me to take responsibility?"
"What do you mean, you're only a fake Boyfriend-kun, Kitahara-kun isn't trying to make it real, is he?" Chihaya Anon covered her chest and took half a step back, "Just going out once together, and you already want to be a real Boyfriend-kun, Kitahara-kun please don't take it for granted, it was just a special reward, that's all!"
Kitahara Makoto: "..."
Since that was the case, Kitahara Makoto could only softly thank her:
"Thank you for your help, Anon-san, I'm fine now."
Chihaya Anon looked up and glanced over, seeing that Kitahara Makoto's eye color was finally normal, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Her hard work had finally not been in vain...
"Since you're fine, shall we go back to the ward?" Chihaya Anon quickly averted her gaze, "After saying hello to Karin-chan, we can probably go back to Tokyo."
Kitahara Makoto was silent for two seconds: "Anon-san, you go first, I'm a bit inconvenienced."
"Huh?"
Chihaya Anon looked over in confusion: "You're fine, so why would you be inconvenienced?"
"..."
Kitahara Makoto remained silent.
Their eyes met.
Chihaya Anon blinked, and as if realizing something, lowered her gaze, finally understanding why he was inconvenienced.
"Lewd!"
Chihaya Anon's pretty face flushed, and she spat softly in shame, then fled in a panic:
"Kitahara-kun is too H!"
"..."
A moment later.
The calmed Kitahara Makoto went to the bathroom again, washed his face and rinsed his mouth, then returned to the ward.
"Makoto-kun, want some candy?"
Tomori and the Beast Eared Girl had already returned, and upon seeing Kitahara Makoto, Takamatsu Tomori eagerly took out a jar of konpeito.
Kitahara Makoto said gently:
"Thank you, Tomori-chan, I really do want a piece of candy."
"Do you want me to help?"
Tomori looked over expectantly.
"I just washed my hands," Kitahara Makoto shook his head and said, "I'll eat it myself today."
"Oh..."
Takamatsu Tomori quickly poured out a few konpeito and handed them over.
"It tastes very good." Kitahara Makoto ate the candy while looking at the dark skinned girl in the ward. Before, she could only move her fingers and arms, but now she was sitting up completely. "Karin-san, congratulations on your recovery."
"Thank you, Kitahara-kun." The dark skinned girl thanked him gratefully. If her body allowed it, she would definitely get out of bed and bow ninety degrees to show her gratitude. "I haven't told anyone about that flower, not even my parents."
After talking for a while, Chihaya Anon quickly said goodbye softly:
"Karin-chan, we're going back to Tokyo now."
The dark skinned girl's eyes sparkled, no longer showing the despair and dejection from before, and her voice finally regained its usual clear and bright tone:
"I feel like I can get out of bed now, but my parents insist I stay in the hospital for another day of observation. When I get back to Tokyo, I'll treat you all to a big meal!"
