Mind-reading technique, time reversal!
Kitagami Yoru pinching his nose, raising the bowl and downing the contents of herbal medicine.
It’s bitter.
A mix of strong bitterness and a pungent smell combined together; it’s not just bitter like Western medicine!
Kitagami Yoru’s face contorted with bitterness.
But this is good for him, he can only keep swallowing it.
Aoyama Nanami regaining her senses, full of questions.
“What kind of guy is your boyfriend?”
“Did Kitagami-san just slip up?”
She has never liked any boys her whole life, let alone have a boyfriend?
“Ugh, it’s so bitter!”
Determined that long-term pain is worse than short-term, Kitagami Yoru forcefully drinks down the bowl of bitter medicine, letting out a sigh of relief.
The bitterness spreads up his throat in an instant, making him feel nauseous.
He quickly covers his mouth and at the same time hands the bowl back to Aoyama Nanami.
Aoyama Nanami takes the bowl, looking at Kitagami Yoru, thinking of Kanda Sorata.
“Could that person pretending to be my boyfriend be Kanda Sorata?”
“How could he do such a thing?”
“Such annoyance……”
After thinking about this, Aoyama Nanami wants to go back because she’s angry.
She lingers at the door for a while before Kitagami Yoru can suppress the bitterness and closes the door.
Dragging his sick body, he walks back to bed and buries himself in the warm blankets.
Homework or exercising, let’s just forget it.
He feels so uncomfortable that even standing is a challenge.
Closing his eyes, he feels the warmth of herbal medicine in his stomach, and Kitagami Yoru tries to fall asleep.
But his nose is blocked, his head is hot, and he occasionally coughs; he can’t sleep at all.
He doesn’t fall asleep until late into the night, around three or four in the morning, when Kitagami Yoru finally drifts off to a light sleep.
He sleeps straight through till the next afternoon.
When Kitagami Yoru opens his eyes, he feels weak and tired, wanting to stay in bed all day.
His dry throat feels like a knife cut, forcing him to get up and drink water.
There’s a thermos on the bedside table; he doesn’t even care how old the water is inside it.
He opened the lid with shaky hands and sipped the water slowly, soothing his throat a bit.
“I’m……sick……coughing…”
Kitagami Yoru opened the blanket and sat up on his bed, coughing a sentence.
He touched his forehead which was hot, Kitagami Yoru sat quietly for a while before standing up.
Just after taking a few steps, he felt dizzy. It could be because of illness, high blood pressure, or not eating enough…
All these factors are possible.
Kitagami Yoru’s legs went weak, his head spun, and he felt like the world was spinning. The room became increasingly blurry.
He sat down on the floor for a few minutes before Kitagami Yoru could muster enough strength to stand up again and go to the kitchen.
He ate some fast food, drank milk, and regained some energy before leaving the kitchen.
“Meow meow~”
“Meow~”
San-san ran up to Kitagami Yoru’s feet, nuzzling his owner while looking up at him.
It seemed like he noticed the master was not well.
“And you too~”
Kitagami Yoru touched his forehead and sighed with a smile.
Then, he poured some cat food and water for San-san, ordered takeout, and bought fever medicine.
He felt too uncomfortable to do anything else.
After eating the takeout and taking the medication, Kitagami Yoru went back to bed and lay down for the night.
He couldn’t sleep but was quite comfortable. He remembered what needed to be done.
Eriri!
Kitagami Yoru narrowed his eyes, muttering continuously. His expression gradually became fierce, and his blood pressure rose.
If things continued like this, he was afraid that he would faint from high blood pressure.
Back in junior high school, Kitagami Yoru was fatter because of a ten-day stay at the hospital due to high blood pressure.
“The daughter of an ambassador…”
Kitagami Yoru tried not to think about Eriri and picked up his phone from the bedside table, intending to check the news.
His fingers searched uncontrollably for Eriri’s father.
A news that popped out was that an ambassador along with his wife visited a certain place in Kansai.
In Japan, the ambassador represents the empire. There are many necessary activities that cannot be avoided.
“So, Eriri is alone at home?”
With a try-it-or-not attitude, he searched for Eriri’s address in various ways.
No results…
Kitagami Yoru wasn’t really surprised. After all, it is the privacy of an ambassador and a personal address.
Another day passed, Sunday.
Kitagami Yoru woke up earlier than usual. The first thing he did was touch his forehead, which was still hot.
It’s a bit better than yesterday.
She made herself some breakfast, finished her homework after eating, and then read a book while coughing and sneezing nonstop.
Kitagami Yoru is too afraid to take too much of the fever and cold medicine because he’s so fat; he only dares to take it twice a day when he should be taking it three times.
“Cough, cough……sneeze……”
“If there’s no improvement after two more days, let’s go to the hospital…”
Kitagami Yoru thought and quickly swallowed the medicine before taking a comfortable hot bath.
He was more anxious than anyone else because his precious time was being dragged down by illness.
He remembered the two mountains pressing on his heart and became even more agitated.
Monday…
Kitagami Yoru’s condition was nowhere near better.
But he woke up very early, extremely early.
He couldn’t wait to find Eriri and question her!
The weather was clear after the rain, and warm eyes were cast upon his body.
“Are you okay? You look like you’re not feeling well. Do you need to take a leave?”
Gabriel looked at Kitagami Yoru with concern.
Kitagami Yoru didn’t want to speak, and slowly shook his head.
After the two parted ways, Kitagami Yoru hurriedly made his way to the Teaching Building, his steps lightened a bit.
At this time.
Eriri was sitting by the window, chatting with several girls in front and behind her.
Kitagami Yoru suddenly appeared at the window, scaring Eriri and the others.
“Sawamura-san, tell me……why haven’t you sent my umbrella over!”
Kitagami Yoru was out of breath and his words were slightly gasping.
But anyone could tell, the tone of his sentence was very oppressive, very not right.
Like a bomber plane carrying a little boy……
“You……”
Eriri came to her senses, looked at Kitagami Yoru in panic, and then looked at the girls beside her.
She didn’t want others to know, so she borrowed an umbrella from Kitagami Yoru.
Borrowing an umbrella from a dead fat guy, this is too embarrassing, right?
Eriri, who always strives to maintain her high and perfect image at school, even if it’s her favorite Aki Tomoya talking to her, she doesn’t like it. How much more so for a notorious fat guy!
After Kitagami Yoru finished speaking, he didn’t say anything else, biting his lip and staring at Eriri.
“What’s the rush for? It’s just an umbrella, isn’t it? Leave first……”
Kitagami Yoru suddenly appeared at the window, scaring Eriri and the others.
Eriri put on an indifferent and relaxed appearance, waving her hand dismissively at Kitagami Yoru as if shooing away flies.
She didn’t know that Kitagami Yoru wasn’t there to get an umbrella.
All Eriri wanted was for Kitagami Yoru to leave quickly.
……
“Isn’t that just an umbrella?!”
Kitagami Yoru’s lungs were about to burst with anger, his eyes filled with red veins, completely bloodshot.
All the pain he had endured without this umbrella was still making him burn!
It felt unbearable!
“Do you really need it that badly?”
Eriri lifted her small chest and continued speaking, glancing at her backpack.
She had brought the umbrella and money with her.
But in front of everyone in the class, giving the money to that dead fat guy Eriri was impossible.
Just couldn’t do it…….
“Do you know how I got home without an umbrella?”
Kitagami Yoru was so angry that he couldn’t control himself and wanted to reach out for Eriri.
A nervous Eriri quickly dodged, standing up.
The commotion on this side attracted everyone in Eriri’s class.
“What’s going on?”
“Isn’t that the dead fat guy from the next class?”
“Why did he pull his hand back?”
“Is he harassing Eriri-san?”
The discussions spreading throughout the classroom.
Kitagami Yoru realized that countless gazes were on him, and he pulled his hand back as well.
There are too many people!
“Eriri-san, how did this guy get tangled up with you, and what’s the deal with the umbrella?”
A girl who was chatting with Eriri asked curiously.
“……”
“There’s nothing, just an umbrella……. “
Eriri sighed inwardly, wondering why the dead fat guy didn’t leave and what he wanted to do.
But on the surface, she was pretending very well, and no one noticed.
Everyone also automatically ignored the umbrella.
Kitagami Yoru stood by the window, forcing himself to calm down.
The blood pressure is skyrocketing and the heart feels like it’s going to burst out of my chest.
There are too many people. I’ll wait until after school when there are fewer, then catch up with Eriri.
Eriri sees her classmates giving Kitagami Yoru unfriendly looks, making me feel uneasy and fearing they might misunderstand our relationship.
I put on a sour face and say disdainfully: “Hey, get away from me! Don’t come any closer. It’s so disgusting!”
There is also some genuine feeling in it.
“Even though I didn’t return, later on the rain wasn’t even small drizzles, let alone turned into mist?”
“Is that so?”
Eriri starts to worry again and even hopes Kitagami Yoru will come looking for her.
I’m afraid of losing face because of this.
“Hey, what do you want to do?”
“Do you want to harass me? If you don’t leave now, I’ll tell the teacher……”
“Keep your distance from Eriri!”
Some girls chatting with Eriri also speak up and help chase away Kitagami Yoru.
The boys in the classroom are also looking at us with unfriendly gazes.
Kitagami Yoru clenches his fists, planning to catch Eriri after school. He secretly glances one last time and leaves.
“Eriri, how could you be related to this disgusting fatso?”
“I have no relationship with him at all! Just seeing him makes me sick!”
……
Just a few steps away, Kitagami Yoru hears Eriri’s disdainful words.
This time I have the evidence in my hands. If there’s a fight, I’ll be on the right side of it.
Eriri is the culprit behind my current situation!
I was deceived by myself and have no regrets. Instead, I continue to curse that disgusting fatso…
In a fit of rage, Kitagami Yoru enters the classroom through the back door.
Just like usual, he puts down his backpack.
Yumiko Miura glances at him. The aura that Kitagami Yoru emits is so terrifying; it’s even more frightening than the other day in the alley!
All day, Kitagami Yoru feels terrible. He coughs and his nose gets blocked from time to time. When he stands up, he even gets dizzy, making it hard to focus during class.
After school, he just collapses on the desk without moving anywhere.
He waits until dismissal time. He’s the first one to rush out of the classroom through the back door and go find Eriri.
“Where is everyone?”
The classrooms are separated by a wall. After coming out, Kitagami Yoru sees that the door to Eriri’s classroom is locked, and there’s no one inside.
“Is it sports class?”
He stands there for a few seconds before remembering sports class.
Quickly grab your backpack and head downstairs.
I’m so anxious, I think I can’t make it on time.
After sports class ends, you directly go home. Sometimes, you even leave five or ten minutes earlier to let the students depart.
Kitagami Yoru runs from the Teaching Building straight to the Club Complex Building.
If Eriri goes to the club, I can intercept him.
He arrives very early and quickly. He knows where the Art Club is located.
When looking for a cardboard umbrella cover earlier, you saw it.
Run straight ahead.
At the corner of the second-floor staircase, Kitagami Yoru leans on the wall, feeling dizzy and almost getting knocked down. His breathing is out of order.
Cough cough…
After a while of hacking, Kitagami Yoru touches his burning forehead but still has a low fever.
Bite your teeth and keep going up.
He arrives extremely early.
The Art Club’s door hasn’t even opened yet.
Kitagami Yoru stops on this floor, waiting for Eriri to come over.
A few minutes later.
When Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui arrive, they see Kitagami Yoru leaning against this floor’s railing, blowing wind.
“Kitagami-san.” Yuigahama Yui unexpectedly greets him.
“Ah? Is that you guys?” Kitagami Yoru is startled while thinking about something else.
“You look a bit pale, so if you’re not feeling well, there’s no need to come to the Service Club.” Yukinoshita Yukino says, looking at Kitagami Yoru’s condition.
“Yeah, yeah. Are you catching a cold?” Yuigahama Yui nods her head.
“Alright… I’ll handle this Eriri thing and go to the Service Club again.” Kitagami Yoru thinks about solving Eriri’s issue.
Afterward, Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui leave.
He waits for a few more minutes. Kitagami Yoru blows small gusts of wind, tightly clenched fists.
He has mentally prepared himself. Eriri didn’t come to the Art Club because he left early from sports class.
“Sigh~”
“I’ll see you tomorrow at the school gate and wait for her!”
Kitagami Yoru coughs while leaning on the wall, dragging his tired and sick body back home.
Next to the Shuchiin Academy soccer field.
Aoyama Nanami found Kanda Sorata to come and join the club.
“Aoyama-san……”
Kanda Sorata nervously gulped, looking at the beautiful girl he secretly adored.
Aoyama-san came to see me?
Did she finally realize it’s not good to be known as a dead fat guy?
I should have given up……
Kanda Sorata’s fantasy of beauty.
In the next second, Aoyama Nanami spoke coldly with a thick anger.
She directly called Kanda Sorata by his real name!
Was that not friendly, or just annoying?
“Kanda Sorata, are you saying I’m your boyfriend?”
“That’s because you found Kitagami-san and told her that I’m your boyfriend, ask her to stay away from me?”
……
“Oh!”
Kanda Sorata’s heart skipped a beat, his fantasy shattered by the girl he secretly adored, leaving him shocked.
The hardest part is that the object of his secret affection spoke to him as if she was dissatisfied and called out his name?
“Kanda Sorata, didn’t you hear what I asked you?”
Aoyama Nanami held back her anger and trembled with fury.
“Aoyama-san……”
“Listen to me…”
Kanda Sorata’s face turned very ugly in an instant.
“Answer my question!”
Aoyama Nanami narrowed her eyes and stared straight at Kanda Sorata.
She had initially thought of him as a decent classmate, someone who could become a friend.
It was just a misunderstanding the first time. He spoke many attacking words towards Kitagami Yoru and misled himself.
“Because of that…”
The second time, he had already explained it to her, but she didn’t believe him. He continued attacking his friend, imposing his will on himself, and even used violence to intimidate himself when leaving.
She thought that was the end of it.
But then, she found out he was pretending to be her boyfriend and went to speak those words to Kitagami-san…
This is something Aoyama Nanami absolutely cannot tolerate. It has touched the bottom line for her.
“Yes!”
“It’s me!”
Kanda Sorata was completely worn out from being questioned one after another.
He couldn’t understand why Aoyama Nanami reacted so dramatically.
And moreover, the exposure was too fast, wasn’t it?
“Why are you saying this to me? Pretending to be my boyfriend?”
Aoyama Nanami said with a heaving chest, taking a deep breath.
“I’m not doing it for you!”
“That damn fat guy… disgusting!”
Kanda Sorata clapped his chest excitedly upon hearing this, speaking passionately.
“Shut up!”
Before he could finish, Aoyama Nanami frowned and scolded him.
Again cursing his friend!
“I……”
Kanda Sorata’s face turned as green as if he had eaten spoiled food.
“Let me emphasize one last time, Kitagami-san is a good person. There is no such situation as you imagine. Stop cursing my friend and badmouthing him.”
“And besides, we have nothing in common. I don’t need your concern. What you’re doing is ridiculous! For what reason are you doing this?”
Aoyama Nanami continued speaking and finally laughed out loud.
“I…… I’m doing all of this for you!”
“I like you, Aoyama-san!”
Kanda Sorata’s brain turned into a mushy mess, arguing and accidentally blurting it out.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Aoyama Nanami’s forehead flashed three black lines as she looked at him with disgust: “It’s you, Kanda Sorata, who is disgusting! Please stop your affection. It makes me sick!”
“Ugh!”
After saying that, Aoyama Nanami still very cooperatively made an expression and finally glared at Kanda Sorata before turning to walk away.
“To like yourself, you’re making up excuses for your own good to pretend to be someone’s boyfriend. It’s really disgusting!”
Kanda Sorata was stunned, with Aoyama Nanami’s last words echoing in his ears, as if they were stuck on repeat.
Yet it sounds like it would break him…
Afters walking away far enough, Kanda Sorata was still somewhat unwilling and kept thinking about catching up to her.
Coming to the school gate, searching for Aoyama Nanami’s figure everywhere.
“Kitagami-san, are you not feeling well?”
The school gate, where Aoyama Nanami met Kitagami Yoru.
“Cough… No……”
Kitagami Yoru turned his head and coughed back at him.
“If you’re not feeling well tomorrow, let’s go to the hospital to check up.”
……
Aoyama Nanami and Kitagami Yoru parted ways, while Kitagami Yoru returned home.
He simply cooked and ate, took out San-san for a walk, finished up the chores, then lay back in bed to rest.
He coughed continuously, his nose was always blocked, he had a low fever, and occasionally felt stifled in his chest.
It passed one whole night.
He woke up, Kitagami Yoru touched his head, it was no different from yesterday.
The fever persisted, and today he felt a bit uncomfortable in his chest.
He didn’t mind much; he would go to the hospital after school to check up.
His body was not that great to begin with, and his immunity was weaker than average.
After making breakfast, he messaged Gabriel, telling her he had something come up and left early.
He ate his medicine and breakfast, cleaned the cat litter, added more cat food and water, Kitagami Yoru went to throw away the trash first, then off to school.
It was only a little past seven o’clock.
Kitagami Yoru took the bus and arrived near the school gates around 7:30.
This time was really early.
On the way, there were hardly any students.
“Cough…cough…”
While coughing, Kitagami Yoru took a sip of warm water from the thermos.
He quietly waited for Eriri’s arrival.
A few minutes later, there were more students on the road.
Kitagami Yoru tried to stand in the sunlight and warm up a bit, squinting his eyes carefully looking over past passersby.
Soon enough, he spotted a dazzling golden figure.
“Finally…cough…here…arrived…”
Kitagami Yoru coughed and hurried towards Eriri.
Eriri was the first to notice Kitagami Yoru, who rummaged through his backpack for an umbrella and some money, then nervously looked around.
She didn’t want anyone to see her talking with this dead fat guy, Kitagami Yoru.
“Sawamura Eriri…”
Kitagami Yoru walked over and called out to Eriri directly.
“What’s with the name, come here.”
Eriri was startled, looking at Kitagami Yoru angrily and said…
“Huh～what’s up?”
Kitagami Yoru smiled slightly, his expression growing colder.
“What do you want to do?”
Eriri’s eyes darted back and forth, sensing something was off.
Kitagami Yoru felt uneasy too.
“You feel it too, Eriri? It’s all your fault that I turned out this way!”
Kitagami Yoru’s expression twisted into a knot.
“Ha, you…”
“No, what do you want?”
“I brought money and an umbrella. Take it and stay away from me!”
Eriri was startled for a moment, almost blurting out, then hurriedly corrected herself.
“Stay away? You know you didn’t return the umbrella. How will I get home?”
Kitagami Yoru’s mouth split into a grin, filled with rage.
“So what if it rained a bit? Big deal! I’ll give you more money to compensate. Will that do?”
Eriri lifted her head high, indifferent, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
“Alright, alright. I don’t want anyone seeing me talking to you…”
Eriri waved dismissively again, was there still the weak and helpless look from when she borrowed the umbrella?
The expression made Kitagami Yoru furious. He reached out to grab Eriri.
He admitted, he acted impulsively.
But Eriri was very afraid of Kitagami Yoru due to nightmares and always kept her guard up against him.
With a fat body and sickly, Eriri easily dodged out of the way.
……
“What do you want to do?”
Eriri retreated several steps, terrifiedly looking at Kitagami Yoru.
“Do something? I’ll feel better if I beat you up!”
“Looking at your proud face, it makes me sick. Disgusting…”
Kitagami Yoru breathed heavily.
“You jerk! Sickening! Isn’t that…?”
Eriri cursed at Kitagami Yoru, about to scold him.
“Isn’t it just because you didn’t return the umbrella?”
She had already said half of it when she suddenly stopped again.
“Disgusting!” Kitagami Yoru cursed once more.
“You really make me sick. Fatso, stay away from me…”
Eriri quickly retorted and then ran away in fear.
She couldn’t understand it; just a little rain, drizzle, why make such a fuss about getting wet?
He said he would compensate!
Yesterday, and even now, it came to attack itself!
Kitagami Yoru didn’t catch up.
Because he knew he couldn’t catch up.
He swung his fist hard, Kitagami Yoru gasped for breath with a skyrocketing blood pressure.
His head was spinning; it felt so uncomfortable!
Standing there resting for a while, Kitagami Yoru still couldn’t recover. He quickly found a roadside boulder and tentatively supported himself, slowly sitting down.
Feeling uncomfortable on another hand, he kept touching his forehead and patting his chest from time to time; it felt so uncomfortable……
Heaving breaths, almost fainting……
Kitagami Yoru realized that he was emotionally excited, sick, and dizzy from high blood pressure……
After finally sitting down, he shook his head gently and patted himself on the back.
His body suddenly felt uncomfortable, making him panic a bit.
In the distance.
Fujiwara Chika noticed everything, recognized Kitagami Yoru, and saw his abnormal condition.
“That’s not Kitagami-san……It’s him……”
“He seems to be in a bad situation……”
Fujiwara Chika, the Student Council secretary, definitely has well-connected information channels.
Hesitatingly, Fujiwara Chika looked at Kitagami Yoru for a long time.
There were also students passing by, but they just glanced curiously and left.
“Oh………”
Fujiwara Chika couldn’t hold back anymore and quickly walked over.
Kitagami Yoru, dizzy and disoriented, wanted to drink some water to ease his discomfort. However, he ended up dropping the lid on Fujiwara Chika’s feet.
“Are you okay?” Fujiwara Chika picked up the lid and carefully handed it to Kitagami Yoru.
Kitagami Yoru’s vision was blurry, making it difficult for him to recognize Fujiwara Chika immediately due to his discomfort.
“I’ll help you.”
Fujiwara Chika assessed Kitagami Yoru’s condition, took the thermos flask away from him without hesitation, and poured a cup of water into it to feed him.
“How are you now? Do we need to call an ambulance?”
Fujiwara Chika was feeding Kitagami Yoru water while asking questions at the same time.
“Cough, cough…..cough, cough……”
“Okay!”
Kitagami Yoru coughed up the water he swallowed and nodded weakly.
High blood pressure can be deadly!
“Okay, just wait a minute.”
Fujiwara Chika immediately calls for an ambulance, frantically pulling out her phone and dialing the nearby hospital’s number to request help.
Thank you… Thank you…”
Kitagami Yoru finally recognizes Fujiwara Chika.
“How are you feeling? Are you really okay?”
Fujiwara Chika quickly gives the address to the person on the phone and urgently asks Kitagami Yoru for more information.
Please have the doctor bring some antihypertensive medication over…”
Kitagami Yoru struggles to keep from feeling dizzy.
“Don’t worry, it’s okay…”
Fujiwara Chika sees that Kitagami Yoru hasn’t improved at all and anxiously makes two calls on the phone without daring to look away.
The call ends, and Fujiwara Chika watches as Kitagami Yoru struggles to breathe, wanting to help by patting her down.
Her hand reaches out but then pulls back again.
The patient can’t move around casually.
In this situation, Kitagami Yoru doesn’t dare to leave at all.
She just has to keep comforting her and telling her to hold on until the ambulance arrives…
Kitagami Yoru is almost unconscious by now, so there’s no way she can think about Fujiwara Chika.
The ambulance comes very quickly.
It only takes a few minutes to arrive.
Fujiwara Chika watches as the doctors and paramedics push Kitagami Yoru onto the ambulance.
Just one person, what to do?
What if something happens?
She doesn’t have time to think about it and gets on the ambulance too.
“Antihypertensive medication, IV injection, oral medication is also fine, insert a breathing tube…”
While lying in the ambulance, Kitagami Yoru speaks fluently as if she’s very familiar with it.
The doctor hears and starts operating immediately…
“Medication injection, breathing tube inserted…”
Kitagami Yoru feels a bit more comfortable.
“Classmate, what’s wrong with you?”
The doctor asks about the condition.
Emotional distress, history of high blood pressure, fever and cold, difficulty breathing…”
Kitagami Yoru slowly speaks again and turns her head towards Fujiwara Chika.
The secretary of the Student Council with pink hair tied with a black bow tie, named Fujiwara Chika.
“Thank you……”
Kitagami Yoru’s weak words.
“Ah……It’s nothing……”
Fujiwara Chika was momentarily at a loss, waving her hands.
Soon, the ambulance arrived at the hospital.
A few nurses pushed Kitagami Yoru to the emergency department.
There is a free medical policy, completely free.
Fujiwara Chika stayed by his side.
The emergency doctor came to ask about the history and cause of the illness.
Then it’s blood tests, X-rays, CT scans, urine checks……
Fujiwara Chika was busy running around, taking samples, calling departments, and fetching water…….
After all, she’s here now, can’t just leave without helping, right?
Until noon.
In a regular ward.
Kitagami Yoru lay on the bed, weak and smelling of antiseptic, waiting for the doctor to arrive.
“That……Kitagami-san, you contacted your family already? I’ll head out first?”
Fujiwara Chika helped Kitagami Yoru prepare a cup of warm water and placed it by his bed.
“Hmm, thank you, Fujiwara-san……”
Kitagami Yoru kept looking at Fujiwara Chika’s busy work, very grateful.
A cardiologist from the cardiovascular department walked in.
The doctor held a medical record and had a bunch of X-ray films and test sheets.
“It’s okay, rest now, don’t worry.”
A middle-aged lady doctor spoke gently first.
Kitagami Yoru nodded quietly and looked at the doctor.
Fujiwara Chika sat aside, eager to listen.
“You fell ill with a fever, had continuous low-grade fever, were overweight, had high blood pressure, and experienced emotional instability……”
“Which caused your blood pressure to spike. It will slowly come down, then everything will be fine……”
“But you have mild inflammation in your heart, probably due to a weakened immune system from the common cold and flu, and there’s also a small issue with your left ventricle……”
The doctor flipped through the medical record, speaking calmly.
Next to him.
Fujiwara Chika sat upright with a small pale face.
My heart, it’s so serious!
It’s really scary～
Even though she is healthy, she can’t help but shiver.
“I’ve known about the left ventricle for a long time. Isn’t it something we don’t need to worry about?”
Kitagami Yoru knows his body well, and he doesn’t seem very panicked.
“That was before. Now it’s different because of high blood pressure. It’s recommended to have a minimally invasive surgery that has almost no risks……”
“As for the slight inflammation of the heart, it’s not a problem……”
“But you have high blood pressure and are prone to gaining weight. We need to take things slowly……”
Doctors are used to life, death, and illness. Their expressions hardly show any emotion.
Anyway, Kitagami Yoru doesn’t have anything serious.
It’s completely different from death.
“How long do I need to stay in the hospital? How long will the treatment take?”
Kitagami Yoru asked the question he was most curious about!
It’s also the most important question!
Time is precious. He needs to lose weight and study hard…….
It concerns whether he can stay at Shuchiin Academy.
“Depending on the situation, you have special conditions. You might need to stay in the hospital for at least half a month. You can even stay longer if needed. The treatment will take about one and a half months to two months……”
“Of course, high blood pressure is mainly an emotional issue. If you want to go home, that’s fine.”
The doctor looked at Kitagami Yoru and said.
Kitagami Yoru’s expression couldn’t be read. His heart was covered in despair.
After a long while, he finally nodded.
The doctor left, and Fujiwara Chika stood up, forcing a smile with a complex expression: “Well, I’ll go first. Hope your recovery goes well, Kitagami-san.”
“Hmm.”
Kitagami Yoru nodded and decided not to think about those terrible things, taking out his phone.
He messaged Gabriel and Kato Megumi, asked Hiratsuka to take a break, and caught up on the news.
He couldn’t think about those things that made him annoyed or angry. Not for now.
After a while, Kitagami Hougai and Kitagami Ei came over.
Kitagami Yoru bought a VIP room for himself with extra money.
When asked about the reason, Kitagami Yoru just shook his head and mentioned the previous rainstorm.
The doctor reassured his parents that it’s nothing serious.
Until late in the evening, the couple finally left.
Kitagami Yoru wanted to be alone for a while.
The next day, they took medication under the doctor’s guidance and got injections.
They spent most of their time in bed for a whole day.
In the afternoon, Gabriel and Aoyama Nanami came to visit for a while.
Gabriel asked several times to confirm there was no major issue before leaving.
Kitagami Yoru asked her to take care of San-san.
The next day, they were done with school in the afternoon.
Kato Megumi came over and sat by the bed.
“Do you want some fruit?” Kato Megumi brought some fruit over.
“No, I don’t need it……”
Kitagami Yoru looked at the progress bar on the other person’s head that was already half full and turned over in bed.
Lying there too long, their arms went numb, and they couldn’t turn……
“What’s wrong?” Kato Megumi asked.
“My body is numb……”
Kitagami Yoru shook his head and smiled bitterly.
“Do you want me to help you turn over?” Kato Megumi sat down nearby.
“Oh…..that’s good……good……”
Kitagami Yoru’s eyes slightly widened.
This is physical contact.
“Pure Kato Megumi didn’t overthink it, just a simple massage.”
“Your hands are so soft~”
“Kitagami Yoru was definitely going to be happy, chatting with Kato Megumi… “
“He quickly realized something was off, or rather, he was surprised.”
“Kato Megumi’s massage speed increased exponentially when helping him! “
“Half an hour later, Kato Megumi was about to leave.”
“Kato-san, can you come and chat with me sometimes?” Kitagami Yoru couldn’t help but shout after Kato Megumi.”
“He was eager to open the treasure box.”
“Sure, okay.”
“Kato Megumi is just a friend of Kitagami Yoru, so she naturally agreed.”
“Day eight.”
“Blood pressure stabilized.”
“Kitagami Yoru was either lying in bed playing with his phone or reviewing lessons and reading books.”
“Yuigahama Yui and Yukinoshita Yukino came to visit.”
Kitagami Yoru didn’t expect this.
“Hey, I heard from Hiratsuka-sensei.”
“Everyone in school is talking about you crashing or having a mental breakdown. When I heard, I was shocked too.”
Yuigahama Yui said.
Yukinoshita Yukino didn’t say anything.
The two sat for a while and decided to leave.
“This is review material, don’t fall behind from before.”
As they were leaving, Yukinoshita Yukino handed over a notebook without a word.
The twenty-third day.
Kitagami Yoru can be discharged now.
Next, they will queue up for a micro-creative heart surgery, done in two parts.
Gabriel and Aoyama Nanami came twice more, while Hiratsuka was quiet once.
Yuigahama Yui and Yukinoshita Yukino didn’t come again.
When packing up to go home, Kitagami Yoru checked his weight.
After not exercising for half a month, eating mother Kitagami’s diet food, he lost around 7-8 kg.
“Guess it’s time for the final exam when I get discharged……”
Kitagami Yoru sat in the backseat of dad’s Lexus, gazing at the scenery outside and grumbling.
This mess is all Eriri’s fault!
That damn it!
Kitagami Yoru was about to get excited again, desperately trying not to think of this.
The twenty-ninth day.
Ready for surgery, the familiar hospital room.
The surgery was micro-creative, with a small incision made on his chest.
The thirty-first day.
Kitagami Yoru recovered well; he slept so peacefully during anesthesia.
The thirty-third day.
Kato Megumi came to visit, the treasure chest was immediately full again and could be opened.
The thirty-eighth day.
Second surgery, another small incision.
Kitagami Yoru’s body recovered healthily.
Summer is coming; it’s getting hot.
The forty-first day.
Next week, after one more checkup, I can be discharged!
Today Kato Megumi came to visit, and the treasure chest is missing just a little.
Just ten minutes will do!
At this moment, Kitagami Yoru’s heart is very excited.
……
Kitagami Yoru has long hair.
If Eriri were here, she would recognize him as the protagonist of her nightmare with just one glance!
“I’ll be discharged next week, it’s nothing.”
“Thank you, Kato-san……”
Kitagami Yoru is now both excited and nervous.
“That would be great, but Kitagami-san, how did you get high blood pressure?”
Kato Megumi has been wanting to ask for a while.
But considering Kitagami Yoru’s condition, I’m afraid it might be too stimulating for him.
Because SawamuraEriri, huh～
Kitagami Yoru’s expression instantly turned cold.
If he had the ability, he would definitely not let Eriri off.
“SawamuraEriri?” Kato Megumi questioned.
“Yes, I didn’t really like her at first, but after seeing her fight with Kasumigaoka Utaha and then she always looked down on me……”
“I even suspected that she might be the culprit.”
A three-dimensional image of a cute white-silenced lolli appeared in Kitagami Yoru’s mind.
“Is there any bad blood between Sawamura-san and Kasumigaoka Utaha? Is she the culprit……”
Kato Megumi seems to remember something, her expression gradually becomes dazed.
“Such a rich girl, who knows what’s in her heart.”
“Who knows what kind of person she is? What’s the real relationship between her and Kasumigaoka Utaha?”
“Well, it’s also a bit impossible for such a rich girl to steal people’s personal belongings just out of spite. It’s too low-class.”
“But on the other hand, no one would suspect her, not even Kasumigaoka Utaha, right?”
Kitagami Yoru muttered something and stared at Kato Megumi’s golden treasure chest.
The next second, the treasure chest suddenly opened.
“Slap!”
Only Kitagami Yoru can hear this sound.
After the treasure chest opened, a brilliant light radiated from it, dazzling his eyes.
Two golden streaks of light flew out from the treasure chest and penetrated Kitagami Yoru’s body.
The whole thing happened between sparks and lightning, in a blink of an eye!
Kitagami Yoru was stunned, two pieces of information floated up in his mind.
“Kitagami-san, I remembered! Something very important!”
“Do you still remember what we talked about before? About the phone light shining from the washing tent?”
Kato Megumi stood up, solemnly grasped Kitagami Yoru’s hand palm with a serious and intense expression.
“Wha…..what happened?”
Even Kitagami Yoru didn’t have time to check the treasure he got.
“When I was awake in the latter half of night, whenever there was light outside, I would lift my head and take a look.”
“I slept next to Sawamura-san’s tent. There was light inside!”
“Before that, I didn’t know that Sawamura-san and Kasumigaoka Utaha-senpai had a bad relationship, nor did I see the scene you mentioned. So, I thought someone was in night……”
“Now that you mention it, I just realized……!”
Kato Megumi had a serious expression on her face, but seemed uncertain again.
“Kato, is what you’re saying true?!”
Kitagami Yoru, who always suspected Eriri, finally got proof and couldn’t sit still anymore.
Her eyes widened, her body tensed up, secreting adrenaline as she paced back and forth in the room.
“Kitagami-san……please don’t get so excited……”
“This also can’t confirm that Sawamura-san is the culprit. What if we made a mistake? There’s no evidence……”
Kato Megumi worriedly said one sentence.
“No, you don’t know!”
Kitagami Yoru stopped being excited but his mind was racing with excitement.
[Mind Reading]: Sense the inner emotions and thoughts. Consumes personal spiritual power when used.
[Time Reversal]: Returns to any arbitrary timepoint one month before the current time, taking effect automatically upon death (once).
This is an ability he obtained from the treasure box!
One of them is mind reading, which doesn’t need much explanation.
Using it on each classmate during a spring outing, read their minds and easily catch the culprit.
[Time Reversal]: It’s an active skill.
Unfortunately, only once.
After using it by Kitagami Yoru, he can go back to a certain time within the last half month and let time flow backwards!
This miraculous ability for time reversal is indeed a wonderful use…..
“Huh…”
Kitagami Yoru took several deep breaths before sitting back on the bed.
“I know it’s not much longer until heart surgery, so I shouldn’t be moving around too much!”
“Calm down, calm down.”
Kato Megumi maintained a composed expression and took a deep breath herself.
“Thank you, Kato-san.”
Kitagami Yoru decided not to consider time travel for now.
He would try using telepathy first and attempt to read Eriri’s mind.
“If the criminal is Eriri……”
The fat man lying on the bed recounted everything from spring outing until now……
He was going crazy……
“Calm down, take a deep breath…”
After calming his nerves, Kitagami Yoru looked at Kato Megumi with gratitude.
“Just call me Kato.”
“Huh?”
Kitagami Yoru was dumbfounded.
Kato Megumi used her hand to pull at her chin and asked, “Aren’t we friends?”
“What…..Kato?” Kitagami Yoru swallowed his saliva.
Of course, he didn’t think that Kato Megumi liked him, the fat slob.
“Well then, I’ll be going.”
It wasn’t the weekend, and Kato Megumi was about to leave.
“Goodbye.”
Kitagami Yoru didn’t try to stop him; he also needed some peace and quiet.
The ward fell back into a peaceful silence.
Kitagami Yoru lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
Time travel – a magical ability.
It could be used to get rich by buying stocks or winning lotteries……
Or it could save lives…..
For example, if someone died in a car accident or became disabled after falling, the memories would automatically bring them back to a certain time node.
Diagnosed with cancer – maybe it would have been different if treated a month earlier……
In short, it’s incredibly magical.
Kitagami Yoru thought to himself, “I’ll use this ability to thoroughly revenge Shinomiya Kaguya and Kasumigaoka Utaha first. I’ll settle my grudge before using it.”
But that’s a bit reckless…..
It felt good after using it.
Time reverted, but it was still the same.
Of course, the treasure box could only be opened once. Mind reading wouldn’t be affected.
Kitagami Yoru thought calmly.
If the culprit was Eriri, everything would be Eriri’s doing.
He was willing to take a gamble.
It might not even work out.
Is it a gamble…
Kitagami Yoru touched the camera on his phone.
