“Kido-san, could you go to the infirmary with me?”
Eriri and Kido Yukita went to the infirmary together.
Eriri asked the school nurse about the medication needed for treating a bite wound.
She then bought a large bag of medicine under the nurse's somewhat ambiguous gaze.
Then, she carried the medicine back to the playground to find Yukiya.
She couldn't find him on the playground, so Eriri went to the gymnasium where the boys were.
He wasn't there either.
Finally, Eriri decided to go to the classroom.
Standing outside the door, Eriri saw that figure through the glass.
She was about to summon her courage and go into the classroom to talk to him.
Then, Eriri saw another figure stand up.
Kato Megumi had been squatting by the desk and chair, looking through her backpack, so Eriri didn't see her at first.
And now...
‘Who is she?’
This thought popped up in Eriri's mind.
Because Kato Megumi had such a weak presence.
Eriri didn't even recognize this classmate.
Seeing a strange girl so openly standing by Yukiya's side.
Eriri's heart felt like it was being squeezed.
Just when she was at a loss.
She saw Yukiya take off his shirt.
Eriri: !!!
As a doujinshi artist, the legendary Eriri Kashiwagi.
Hundreds of R18 school-themed plot lines flashed through Eriri's mind.
Empty classrooms were a particularly heavy disaster zone.
Suddenly, Eriri's little head, overloaded with R18 data, went into a brief state of shutdown.
Kido Yukita, who had followed Eriri, covered her face with both hands, her fair cheeks already flushed red through the gaps in her fingers.
Fortunately, things didn't develop as the two had imagined in a restricted-grade scenario.
It was simply cleaning the wound, applying medicine, and bandaging it.
The location of the wound made it necessary to take off his shirt.
After throwing away the erotic thoughts.
Eriri felt a wave of bitterness rising up her throat and dissolving in her mouth.
What had she done?
Yukiya noticed she was trying to be strong and stayed on the playground specifically.
He ran over and held her when her leg cramped and she was about to fall.
He considered her self-esteem and took her to a place where others couldn't see to treat her.
He didn't mind that she had just finished exercising...
But not only did she not thank him, she even bit him.
She also didn't have the courage to ask him to stay.
So much so that another girl had to apply medicine to the bite she inflicted.
Eriri didn't even dare to think from his perspective. If she had been treated like that.
Her heart would break.
What made her even more lost.
She suddenly realized.
This wasn't the first time this had happened.
In their relationship before.
Things like this happened all the time.
No wonder...
No wonder he had left her.
No wonder the person who loved Eriri so deeply, who wanted to throw himself at Eriri's feet, eventually chose to leave.
Eriri clenched her fists tightly.
Her nails almost dug into her flesh, leaving deep marks on her palm.
Big tears uncontrollably slid down her cheeks, falling to the ground and shattering into sparkling pieces.
Through her blurred vision.
Eriri saw the girl reaching out to touch Yukiya.
‘Hurry, Eriri, Yukiya is going to be taken away!’
This wail echoed in Eriri's heart.
But at the same time, another cold and sarcastic voice rang out.
‘What right do you have to stop him, Eriri? You’ve already hurt him deeply, haven't you? You broke up, didn't you?’
Both voices were Eriri's own.
In the end, Eriri, who was hesitant, couldn't bear to see Yukiya being taken away.
She slammed her head into the classroom door.
A muffled sound rang out.
Then she turned and ran.
“Wait, Sawamura-san!”
Kido Yukita chased after her.
She felt quite complicated right now. It felt like she had seen some amazing love triangle plot.
Yukiya and Kato Megumi in the classroom were startled.
Then they heard Kido Yukita's call.
Kato Megumi withdrew her hand.
A blush slowly crept up her cheeks.
Yukiya picked up his shirt from the side and put it back on.
“Aren’t you going to chase after her?”
Kato Megumi asked softly.
“If I chase after her now... It feels like I'll repeat the same mistakes. It's better to let her figure it out herself.”
Yukiya made this judgment.
Kato Megumi seemed thoughtful.
The physical fitness test ended.
During the third period.
Eriri's seat was empty.
Yukiya asked Kirisu Machi.
The answer he got was that Eriri had called in sick and gone home.
Sawamura Residence.
O百合 saw Eriri running home crying, with a red mark on her forehead, and her eyes narrowed dangerously.
Eriri, who wanted to run back to her room and cry her heart out, was intercepted in the living room.
O百合 pulled Eriri into her arms.
She gently stroked Eriri's hair.
Usually at this time, Eriri, who was full of grievances, would cry even harder.
But this time, Eriri's tears slowly stopped, leaving only physiological sobs.
敏锐 Perceptive of her daughter's change.
O百合 asked:
“Eriri, what happened? Tell Mom.”
Eriri sobbed, feeling an urge to tell her mother everything.
But after she completely stopped crying, she said:
“Mom, I... did something wrong, I hurt someone, how do I make it up to them?”
O百合 was taken aback.
A mother knows her daughter best.
O百合 knew how proud Eriri was.
And now, Eriri could actually face her feelings and was willing to start facing her heart honestly.
