Chapter 124
I think Wakaba-chan read my letter. When I was walking down the hallway she stepped out of the way and bowed to me.
Personally I didnt really like the idea of her bowing to me but it demonstrated that she was willing to accede to the Presidents wishes. Hopefully this would make things easier on her.
Mao-chan told me that Yukino-kun had fallen ill because of all the rain. Oh my G.o.d! The poor boy!I hoped he was okay. They did say that he had a weak const.i.tution.Just remembering the little angel call me Reika-oneesan was making my chest hurt now
Enjou was in the salon so I called out to him on impulse.
Ummm, Enjou-sama, is it true that Yukino-kun is feeling ill?
Hm? You heard about that fast. Yeah. We had him admitted into hospital because of his asthma.
Eh!? Hospital!?
It was that bad!? I thought he was just resting in bed, but now
I grimaced as I imagined him suffering in hospital.
Oh, its not that big of a deal, okay? It happens every year around this time. Were just having him stay in the hospital in case.
But if it warrants a hospital admittance then is that not quite bad already?
Well, not exactly? Its just quicker to have responders if hes already in hospital. And I think hes used to being admitted to hospital already.
Ehh!?
In both my lives not once had I ever been sick enough to go to the hospital. Id never ridden an ambulance either. Going to the hospital felt really serious to me.
Yukino-kun
Its fine. My brother himself is just feeling bored from lying around in bed all the time. I visit him every day after school and its always complaints from him.
I see
He was only six still. It must have been incredibly lonely and discouraging to be separated from his home and family like thatAnd hospitals had to be really scary at night I hoped he wasnt crying.
Enjou-sama! If that is the case then should you not be heading there right now instead of wasting time drinking tea? He must be so lonely!
Theres no need to rush. Hes used to it already, so its fine.
How cold!
How could it be fine for a child to be hospitalised so often he was used to it.
Right now Yukino-kun must be staring out of his rainy window, waiting silently for his oniisama to visit him. Is Oniisama coming yet? Its so lonely Uuu, Yukino-kun!
Once I imagined it in my head I just
Im pretty sure hes watching a DVD or playing a game right now.
Haha! Sorry. Anyway, you really dont have to worry so much. Today Im going there with Masaya so well be heading out the moment hes here.
Goodness. Kaburagi-sama is going as well?
Yukino-kun must have been happy to be getting more visitors. He did mention something about Kaburagi making a snowman for him, didnt he. What on earth was he doing anyway. Hurry up already, Kaburagi! Yukino-kun is waiting, you know!
Kaburagi-sama is taking a while. I wonder what his cla.s.s is doing.
I couldnt help but begin tapping my foot.
Well, I think he should be here soon See? Speak of the devil.
Kaburagi opened the door to the salon. About time!
Shuusuke- Huh. What are you frowning about? he asked me in confusion.
What was I frowning about?*
Kisshouin-san here has been getting annoyed at how slow you were. Right, Kisshouin-san?
Annoyed at me? Did she need something with me?
No, I did not. More importantly, I think you should hurry along. Visiting hours might be ending soon.
Huh?
Get a move on! If you dont
Kaburagi-samaaa! How about having some tea with us?
See!? The President and her friends saw you already! Dont sit! Dont tarry!Guohhhgh! Yukino-kun is waiting, d.a.m.n you! d.a.m.n you!
I got the feeling that Enjou was giving a knowing smile to my side.
The next day I prepared a get-well gift for Yukino-kun. I remember that in my old life, once when I was sick with the cold my older cousin came to visit me. He gave me a fairy tale book as well as a letter written on a sheet with a cute snowman picture on it.
Anyhow, I was trying to get Enjou alone so that n.o.body would get weird misunderstandings about this but I was having a lot of trouble with it.
It wasnt until after school that he was alone and heading to the car park that I caught him.
Enjou-sama!
Kisshouin-san?
It was showering faintly but I couldnt be bothered with the umbrella and just ran over. Enjou covered me with his one.
Whats up?
Could you please hand this to Yukino-kun?
I held out a ribboned cloth parcel to him.
Whats this?
A book. I thought it might help with his boredom.
Oh? Well thanks. Can I ask what kind of book?
Das Wirtshaus im Spessart. A fairy tale that I enjoyed as a child.
Fairy tale?
Yes. Eh!? Could it be that Yukino-kun does not enjoy fairy tales?
Oh no! Had he already grown out of them by Year 1!?
No, thats not it. He loves books, so Im sure hell appreciate it. Thanks for this, he smiled after calming me down.
Was he lying?
Anyway, Ill make sure he gets this.
Thank you. I apologise for holding you, Enjou-sama. I shall take my leave. Gokigenyoh.
Yeah. See you tomorrow. Oh, and take this umbrella.
No need. It is but a short run away. Goodbye!
I began running back to the school building.
Oh. Even though I told Wakaba-chan not to run, here I was as a Pivoine running with all my might n.o.body was looking, right?
Two days later I got a letter back from Yukino-kun.
Thanks for the book and the letter, Reika-oneesan. The book was really interesting. It so interesting that I stayed up reading it and then had a fit and they had to give me emergency treatment. Just kidding. Did I scare you?
My favourite story was Das kalte Herz. Which did you like the most? Tell me all about it when Im back at school.
I go to the hospital a lot so Im fine. The other day Masaya-niisama came by and we played games together. When we were done, Masaya-niisama gave me a DVD for a zombie movie but Ive been too scared to watch it. What should I do
- Yukino
