Chapter 174 Tennis 62

Kurikawa Sana has woken up.

She was transferred to the hospital in Tokyo, and visitors came in waves, all of whom expressed genuine concern, shock and admiration for her act of saving lives.

Especially the people in Seigaku, their gratitude was beyond words. They even bowed in unison in front of her bed to thank her for saving Tezuka.

Oishi Shuichiro took the lead and said, "Kurikawa-san, thank you so much!"

Kurikawa Sana was deeply shocked and quickly waved her hands, saying, "No, no, everyone is so polite... Tezuka-kun also tried his best to save me back then!"

"At that time, a whole steel bar fell down, and Tezuka-kun protected me behind him. If that steel bar had really fallen down, the consequences would have been unimaginable..."

Everyone in Seigaku was stunned. Oishi Shuichirou turned to look at Tezuka in surprise, "Is that true? Tezuka, you didn't mention it..."

Tezuka Kunimitsu said calmly, "I just didn't think it was necessary to mention it specifically. Besides, it was Sana who dealt with the rebar in the end. Including this rebar, to be precise, she saved me twice."

Hearing that Tezuka Kunimitsu had called her by her name, Echizen Ryoma and Fuji Shusuke looked up at each other sharply.

Kikumaru Eiji asked in surprise, "How did you solve it?"

Tezuka Kunimitsu stated the facts very calmly: "She swung the racket and created a black hole. The steel bar was sucked into the black hole and then disappeared."

Everyone in Qingxue: "…………"

They can understand each word individually, but why is it that they can't understand when they are put together?

Kurikawa Sana: "……………………"

I'm sorry, she knows she's being abstract, but it's still embarrassing to hear it said like that. Help!

"Ha, ahahaha..." Oishi Shuichiro eased the atmosphere and said with a smile: "I said playing tennis is useful, it works even during an earthquake! So you must strengthen your training in your daily life-"

Everyone: “………………”

Is this a question of whether playing tennis is useful? And how can I strengthen my training so that I can create a black hole with my racket? I feel like the wrinkles in my cerebral cortex are about to be smoothed out.

Taocheng Wu patted his shoulder, looking surprised, "Oishi-senpai, this is the first time I realize that you have such an amazing talent for comedy."

Shuichiro Oishi: "..."

Kurikawa Sana couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The students at Qingxue are really a bunch of funny people. They can instantly make the atmosphere relaxed and cheerful with just a few words and laughter.

"Okay, okay, Kurikawa needs to rest and recuperate. Let's not disturb her." said Oishi Hideichiro.

Tezuka Kunimitsu nodded, walked closer to Kurikawa Sana's bed, half-knelt down, and lowered his voice a little, "Have a good rest. My family and I will come to see you after school."

Kurikawa Sana was flattered. "Don't bother! I'm really fine now. Aunt Ayana, Uncle Kuniharu, and Grandpa are so tired running back and forth."

"It's okay. They don't feel it's hard. They say they feel it's hard not coming to see you." Tezuka Kunimitsu stared at her without blinking. "Mother said the hospital food wasn't tasty, so she made your favorite dishes."

Kurikawa Sana: "!!!"

Touched! Then she would just obey! ! The food in the hospital is really not that tasty ah ah ah TVT

"Wow, thank you Auntie Caicai... I'll be more than welcome then! Auntie Caicai's cooking is truly delicious! Wow..."

Tezuka Kunimitsu looked at her, a hint of doting in his eyes.

The two of them obviously did not have any intimate contact, they were just looking at each other, but there was an atmosphere as if no one else could intrude, and they even had a sense of being a match made in heaven.

Everyone in Seigaku looked at each other, seeing shock on their teammates' faces.

Momoshiro Takeshi shook his head vigorously, opened his eyes and looked again, then lowered his voice and said, "I think I really wasn't mistaken... I actually saw 'tenderness' in Captain Tezuka's eyes!"

Kikumaru Eiji couldn't help but whispered, "Is it my illusion? I feel that Tezuka and Sana have a feeling that no one else can fit in and penetrate."

Oishi Shuichiro: "After all, they've been through life and death together, so of course they're different from others."

Kikumaru Eiji suddenly realized, "You have a point."

Now they have completely different experiences from others, so just being in the same space exudes a unique atmosphere.

Oishi Shuichiro couldn't help but sigh: "Before when we were on the cruise, I said that Atobe and Kurikawa looked very compatible. Now my mind has changed. I support Tezuka. Tezuka is the one who looks the best match for Kurikawa."

Inui Sadaharu also adjusted his glasses and agreed, "Indeed, the probability that Tezuka has fallen in love with Kurikawa is now 99%, just like Atobe."

After finishing speaking, Inui Sadaharu glanced silently in the direction of Fuji Shusuke. Fuji did not smile and squint his eyes as usual. When he was not smiling, he had a completely different feeling.

Fuji Shusuke just stared quietly at the girl on the hospital bed, his blue eyes like the clear sky contained unprecedented complexity.

Kaidou Kaoru hissed, "I support Captain Tezuka, too."

Kawamura Takashi: "...Why does everyone seem to be buying stocks?"

Is he the only one who supports Akutsu? Tears welled up in my eyes.

Tezuka Kunimitsu stood up and said, "Let's go, it's time to go back to school."

"good."

Everyone put down the flowers and small gifts they had brought for visiting the patient, and prepared to leave with Tezuka. However, one person did not move, and the pair of FILA tennis shoes with the red R logo seemed to be stuck to the ground with glue.

Momoshiro Takeshi: “???”

"Echizen, why don't you leave?"

Echizen Ryoma said, "Oh," and said, "Seniors, if you want to go back, go first. I still want to stay with Sana-senpai for a while longer."

“………………”

Everyone in Qingxue fell into silence.

This kid!!!

Tao Chengwu put his hand in a throat chokehold and said, "Why don't you understand? It's not a question of whether we want to go back or not, but that Sana-senpai needs to rest!"

Echizen Ryoma curled his lips and said in a muffled voice: "...But I just want to stay with senior for a while longer."

He raised his head, and there was a hint of grievance in his amber eyes, "Is it okay? Will it disturb you, Sana-senpai?"

Kurikawa Sana quickly waved her hands: "No, no! Don't bother me, don't bother me!"

Oh my god, who can resist a tsundere cat acting like a spoiled brat?

"Then I'll stay too." Fuji Shusuke suddenly said, "I also want to talk to Kurikawa-san."

“……?!”

Not only were the people in Seigaku shocked, but even Tezuka Kunimitsu turned around and looked at Fuji Shusuke.

Kurikawa Sana was also stunned, and she couldn't quite believe that these were the words spoken by Fuji Shusuke... Is this really Fuji?

Hey, wait... when did Fuji Shusuke's favorability level reach 93?!

Kurikawa Sana tried hard to control her expression. She had no idea until she saw the attribute panel bar, and was shocked. How come Fuji's favorability increased so much?

If I think about it carefully, it seems that her favorability increased after the earthquake. Could it be that it increased sharply because she saved their captain Tezuka?

Kurikawa Sana still felt very sad. She could still vividly remember how low Fuji's favorability was at the beginning. She didn't expect that time has passed and now his favorability has reached 93.

"Do you mind, Kurikawa?" Fuji Shusuke asked her.

Kurikawa Sana suddenly came to her senses, "No, no ...

"That's good." Fuji Shusuke smiled, and as always, his gentle smile with his eyes narrowed made people feel like spring breeze.

He consciously moved a chair and sat down with Ryoma Echizen on his left and right. The two of them seemed like the two guardian gods of Kurikawa Sana, but this combination looked a bit strange no matter how you looked at it.

"Let's go." Tezuka Kunimitsu withdrew his gaze and walked out of the ward with his long legs.

The others followed his footsteps, but were still surprised. Momoshiro Takeshi looked stunned. "I'm not surprised that Echizen wants to be alone with Sana-senpai, but when will Fuji-senpai?"

Kawamura Takashiya touched the back of his head in confusion, "Yeah, didn't Fuji reject Kurikawa?"

Inui Sadaharu's glasses began to reflect light. "There's only one truth—the probability that Fuji is being slapped in the face is 90%."

Kikumaru Eiji wasn't too surprised. "There's nothing strange about it. It's normal to like Kurikawa."

Inui Sadaharu put his arm around Tezuka Kunimitsu's shoulder and said, "Tezuka, are you human too?"

Tezuka Kunimitsu glanced at him calmly and said, "Fuck."

Inui Sadaharu: “Hmm?”

"If you have some free time, just run around the hospital twice."

…

The other side.

There were only three people left in the ward. Echizen Ryoma and Fuji Shusuke stood on either side of the bed like bodyguards. Kurikawa Sana laughed dryly twice, "Um... don't you have classes this afternoon?"

Echizen Ryoma curled his lips, and his tone became even more "aggrieved," "Sana-senpai, are you chasing me away?"

Kurikawa Sana: “No, no!”

How dare she——

It was Fuji Shusuke who spoke up: "I have classes, but there's no rush. I want to spend some more time with you, Kurikawa."

“……!”

Kurikawa Sana's eyes widened in surprise. Echizen Ryoma was also stunned for a moment. He could no longer maintain the relaxed posture of putting his hands in his pockets. He stood up and said, "...Fuji-senpai, this is not like you."

Senior Fuji is actually starting to learn the "straight ball" trick?!

"Nothing is permanent. People are always reflecting on themselves." Fuji Shusuke said softly, "I've been thinking a lot lately. People shouldn't make judgments without understanding each other... Kurikawa, will you hate me?"

"How could that be? Not at all, Fuji-kun."

Sure enough, it was because she saved Tezuka in the earthquake this time that Fuji had a different opinion of her, thought Kurikawa Sana.

"Really? That's great." Fuji Shusuke smiled. The boy's delicate and handsome face burst out with unprecedented charm under the blessing of his sincere smile. Kurikawa Sana was a little stunned for a moment.

It's really beautiful...

Echizen Ryoma: “???”

Ryoma Echizen's heart was filled with alarm, and he felt that he should not have provoked Senior Fuji before.

Ryoma Echizen has always known about this somewhat sinister person. He had expected that Senior Fuji would be so attractive, but he did not expect that after awakening, this person would be the type to play straight and fight for it.

Thinking of Sana-senpai's confession to Fuji-senpai before, Echizen Ryoma couldn't help but frown, pulled the other party and walked out of the ward, "Fuji-senpai, we are going to be late for the afternoon class. Let's go back and don't disturb Sana-senpai's rest."

Kurikawa Sana: "???"

Echizen-kun, there should be no charge for interrupting a sentence!

Fuji Shusuke pulled the corners of his mouth and took one last look at her. A hint of smile flashed across his blue eyes, which were very similar in color to hers.

Kurikawa Sana felt as if she was scratched by a feather again.

The target of this tennis world's strategy is really good-looking.

Just when Kurikawa Sana wanted to go down to the garden for a walk, another new male guest stepped into the ward.

Um? ?

Are there any experts???

The boy who walked in was tall, with broad shoulders, long legs and a narrow waist wrapped in the khaki school uniform of Bingdi. His shoulder-length dark blue semi-long hair and round-frame gold-rimmed glasses were very distinctive.

"Sana, are you feeling better today?" Ozuchi Yuushi placed the large, luxurious fruit basket on her bedside table. "Atobe had an important flight to the United States this morning, and he asked me to look after you."

After a pause, Oshizuka Yuushi added: "Of course, I also want to come and see you myself."

"Thank you, Oshitari-kun."

Kurikawa Sana was about to say something when she heard a "ding" sound in her mind.

【The favorability of the captureable target, Yuushi Oshitani, has been unlocked.】

[Oshitari Yuushi, favorability +2. ]

[Oshitari Yuushi's current total favorability: 87.]

“……!!”

Kurikawa Sana tried hard to suppress her inner surprise. She was unable to check Oshitari's favorability before because of his skill "Locked Heart". He could block his own mind and make the outside world completely unaware of his thoughts.

But now, this obstacle has been removed.

This means that Oshitari has opened his heart to her.

Why? Did something happen suddenly?

And...Oshitari's favorability is much higher than I imagined.

Kurikawa Sana thought back, the experiences she had with Oshitsuki alone were few and far between, and the only one she could recall was the time they danced together at the Hyotei Academy dance when she first arrived. She was surprised that Oshitsuki had such a high level of affection for her.

"How do you feel today?" asked Yuushi Ozaki.

"I'm much better now. I can walk and it doesn't hurt anymore. I should be able to be discharged from the hospital soon." Kurikawa Sana said with a smile.

Oshitari Yuushi asked again, "How's your heart? Is there anything wrong with your heart?"

“…Huh?”

I seem to understand a little bit, why Obito suddenly opened his heart and why his favorability was so high.

Could it be that... he knew about her condition just like Atobe did? The more Kurikawa Sana thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

"No, my heart is fine."

——Actually, there are.

Kurikawa Sana didn't want to make people worry, so she chose to keep it secret.

The impact of having 90 points of health deducted was truly unbelievable. The world was spinning around her all of a sudden. Kurikawa Sana even felt that the body in the tennis world was almost approaching her real body.

I don't know how long I can hold on...

After waking up, Taketo Mukai and the others said they were worried to death. It was also because of this that Kurikawa Sana learned that the scene between her and Tezuka during the earthquake was captured by surveillance video and was on the news, so everyone came to Nagano Prefecture.

Even she herself was shocked when she watched that video. An entire building fell on her, and she actually survived?!

Thinking about it this way, I was lucky that only 90 health points were deducted and it didn’t directly cause a game over.

Because of the location, the surveillance camera only captured the last scene, missing the previous part where Tezuka blocked the rebar for her, and the scene where she used the black hole to suck away the rebar. If the black hole had been captured on camera, I wonder if she would have been captured and studied by the relevant agencies.

“…”

Yuushi Oshizuka looked at her, and secretly clenched his hands into fists after washing the fruit for her, but finally had no choice but to let go.

She is showing off.

He had seen her electrocardiogram and found that she was definitely not as relaxed as she appeared. Only she knew the pain she was going through.

Is she always like this?

I always bear it silently by myself, never tell anyone, and always stay like this, showing a bright smile and showing kindness to others.

Yuushi Oshitari suddenly understood why Atobe flew to the United States without stopping and would not give up even the slightest hope of curing her.

Such a wonderful person shouldn't just disappear like this.

[Oshitari Yuushi, favorability +3. ]

[Oshitari Yuushi's current total favorability: 90.]

…

Yuushi Oshitari left.

After everyone left, Kurikawa Sana fell into thought.

In fact, at this point, the favorability of most of the targets she can pursue is already 90+. Logically speaking, she can already consider leaving this world.

The system's voice rang out: [Indeed, now is actually a good time to leave this week's game. Most of the captureable targets have already reached 90 favorability, and many are approaching 100. If you leave now, referencing the endings of the basketball and volleyball worlds, their favorability will quickly reach 100 under the stimulation.]

System: [What do you mean, Sana, do you want to leave now? ]

Kurikawa Sana shook her head slightly, [System, I don't want to leave yet.]

She knew the system was right, but she just didn't want to do it.

Because...if she leaves this world now, the Tezuka family might think that she suffered a congenital heart disease because she saved Tezuka during the earthquake.

If that happened, they would definitely feel very guilty, and Sana didn't want to make them sad.

Even if there is only a one percent chance that Aunt Ayana and the others would think this way, Kurikawa Sana would not do it.

When the Tezuka family came to visit, Kurikawa Sana cried quietly.

She really liked the Tezuka family, they brought her indescribable warmth like family.

Happiness is hidden in the little things in daily life. Grandpa Tezuka's simple words that he would catch a big fish for her after she recovered from her illness could make her burst into tears.

Later, I heard from Feng Jun and others that even though Uncle Guo Qing mistakenly thought that she might be paralyzed from the waist down and unable to take care of herself for the rest of her life, he was still prepared to take care of her for the rest of her life and made a promise in front of everyone. At that time, they looked anxious and heartbroken.

They are really a very good family.

I envy Tezuka-kun so much.

The system sighed: [Okay, since it's your decision, I'll accompany you to the end.]

System: [However, Sana, I need to remind you that the 90 health points lost by this earthquake are not a small amount. Even if you don't intend to leave, this body won't last much longer.]

Kurikawa Sana: [I know.]

She raised her hand to cover her heart and asked, "How long do I have left?"

[Their national competition starts next week. Can I still hold on until it's over?]

System: [Almost, should be OK.]

Kurikawa Sana breathed a sigh of relief: [That's good.]

Very good……

They were able to see the last big match they had poured their hearts and souls into during their junior high school years. Their mood and state for the final match wouldn't be affected by her condition. After a while, Tezuka and the others wouldn't think her departure was related to the earthquake...

It was simply the perfect time to leave.

I clearly thought so, but with a "click", a teardrop fell on the quilt of the hospital bed.

The system lowered its voice: [What's wrong? Sana, why are you crying?]

Kurikawa Sana choked up and wiped away her tears: "Nothing... I just suddenly felt that I was really bad. Every time I make everyone sad. 】

If they had not met her, they should have been carefree, and there might not be anyone around them to let them come into contact with the subject called "death" so early. But her appearance made everything become so heavy in the end.

System: [This is not your fault, Sana.]

System: [If they were given another chance to choose, I believe that even if they knew the ending of the story, they would still choose to meet you without hesitation, Sana.]

Kurikawa Sana couldn't help but be stunned, even the tears stopped in her eyes and no longer fell.

【…system. 】

【I am here. 】

[After the tennis world ends, I can recover my health, right?] Kurikawa Sana lowered her eyes. [The collection is complete, I will return to the real world, right?]

System: [Yes, at this point, the conquest of the Tennis World is going more smoothly than expected. Combined with the favorability points accumulated in the previous two rounds, it's already sufficient. There's no need to continue conquesting other planes like the Football World.]

Kurikawa Sana nodded slightly.

This strategy journey is finally coming to an end.

…

*

The next day at noon.

"Seishi?"

Kurikawa Sana looked at the visitor in surprise. The boy was wearing the Rikkai University uniform. His handsome face was incredibly delicate and good-looking. His purple-blue hair was as beautiful as the bouquet of flowers he brought.

"Seiichi, why are you here at this time? Don't you have classes today?" asked Kurikawa Sana.

When she was in Nagano Prefecture Hospital, Yukimura Seiichi and Niou Masaharu had already come to visit her. Niou came the next day, and Yukimura arrived in Nagano Prefecture shortly after the earthquake.

At that time, Yukimura saw that her heart rate on her watch was abnormal, and he keenly realized that something must have happened to her.

After her condition stabilized, Yukimura and Niou returned to Kanagawa to attend classes. Unexpectedly, Yukimura came to the hospital in Tokyo to see her so soon.

"You have to go to class. I'm here to draw the order for the national competition. I'm in Tokyo."

Yukimura Seiichi put the flowers in the vase on her bedside table. He glanced at the other huge bouquet of flowers beside the bed. The bold and warm cappuccino roses stood out among the flowers given for visiting patients. It was obvious that it was the work of a young master.

Even though Atobe is far away in the United States, his presence is still everywhere.

Cappuccino, a gentle and vibrant rose, is also suitable for the context of wishing patients recovery.

"Oh, right. The national competition will start next week." Kurikawa Sana smiled with her eyes curved. "It just so happens that I'll be discharged from the hospital by then, so I can go watch everyone's competition."

Yukimura Seiichi also curled his lips, "I can finally let you see my tennis skills."

Kurikawa Sana: "!!!"

She asked weakly, "Um... Jingshi, can your tennis ball really destroy people's five senses?"

"It's true, but don't worry. It's just a temporary deprivation of your five senses. They will be restored once you leave the stadium. It won't affect your normal functions." Yukimura Seiichi explained.

Kurikawa Sana: "..."

No, it's not just the court. Last time I saw you in the bumper car, you could easily deprive people of their five senses. TVT

"Speaking of playing ball, Sana, the game you agreed to play with me last time..."

Kurikawa Sana was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to jump up from the bed, "I can fulfill the promise! I can fight right away-"

Yukimura Seiichi laughed, "No, I don't mean to rush you. You need to rest now. How can you exercise so vigorously so soon after breaking a bone?"

"It's just that I'm a little bit unwilling to be beaten to it by Echizen."

The young man sighed softly, his handsome, almost beautiful face bewitching, "Sana shouldn't have promised anyone else, right? No one will get ahead of me, right?"

Kurikawa Sana: "...!"

Is this an illusion? Why did I feel for a moment that Yukimura Seiichi also had a bit of a sinister nature?

"No, no more..." Kurikawa Sana stuttered, sweating profusely.

"I'm just kidding." Yukimura Seiichi was actually laughing this time. He reached out and stroked the girl's soft black hair, his deep blue eyes soft and gentle. "Your health is the most important thing. Even if you really want to play the game we agreed on, you must do it within the limits of your body."

"Don't worry now. I can wait for you no matter how long it takes," he said.

Kurikawa Sana felt like her heart was melting.

"By the way, this is an early discharge gift for you." Yukimura Seiichi took out a sophisticated gift bag from behind the bouquet and handed it to her. "Open it and take a look?"

"Huh?" Kurikawa Sana took it in surprise. Inside was a beautiful gift box containing a new phone. "A discharge gift?"

"Well, didn't your phone break in the earthquake? I'll give you a new one." Yukimura Seiichi's expression grew serious. "At that time, I saw from your watch that your heart rate was abnormal, and your phone was turned off and couldn't be reached. I was very worried, and it turned out that something had happened."

Kurikawa Sana felt a little guilty: "Sorry, I made you worry..."

"I'm glad you're okay."

Sana Kurikawa opened the bedside table and found the watch that could monitor her heart rate was still inside. She had taken it off during the operation.

Because of the way she supported herself on the ground with both hands, the watch was not hit and successfully withstood the 7.4 magnitude earthquake. It can still be used normally now.

It is amazing that in the earthquake that seemed to destroy everything, this slender and fragile watch survived.

Kurikawa Sana always felt that this watch meant something to both her and Yukimura. If she remembered correctly, Yukimura's favorability towards her started to increase sharply when she bought this watch.

Just as she was about to put the watch back on, Kurikawa Sana suddenly stopped.

"Sana, what's wrong?" Yukimura Seiichi asked her.

"Nothing, I just suddenly wondered... could this watch be imprisoning Jingshi?"

Yukimura Seiichi was stunned for a moment.

Kurikawa Sana looked troubled. "I always feel like this puts a lot of pressure on you. I often worry about whether my heart rate is elevated... I feel like this is putting a lot of pressure on you invisibly."

"I don't want Seiichi to worry."

Yukimura Seiichi almost sighed.

"I don't feel any pressure," he said. "For me, the pressure is not knowing your condition and facing fear."

"...Okay." Kurikawa Sana looked at him touchedly, "Then I'll put it on again."

"Yeah." Yukimura Seiichi watched her put on the watch again, feeling relieved.

After a pause, he turned and said, "By the way, Sana, there is one more thing..."

"I'm sorry, I told Atobe about your heart condition."

Kurikawa Sana was stunned.

…I see.

No wonder Atobe acted so abnormal when he got off the cruise ship.

It turned out that Atobe really knew about her illness, but she could never have imagined that Atobe actually learned about it from Yukimura.

"It doesn't matter." Kurikawa Sana shook her head gently, "You and Atobe are doing this for my own good."

"I want to go down and take a walk in Jing City."

"good."

…

*

The hospital's atrium garden is filled with green plants and clusters of flowers. The warm afternoon sun shines on the garden, and the breeze brings the faint fragrance of flowers and plants, and the warm smell of sunshine.

Sana Kurikawa was sitting in a wheelchair, and Seiichi Yukimura was pushing her gently from behind.

In fact, she was already able to walk, but Yukimura insisted that it was a matter of the spine and she couldn't be careless, so she had to sit in a wheelchair.

Kurikawa Sana sat in her wheelchair, breathing in the fresh air and admiring the beautiful flowers and plants, and began to chat. "Speaking of which, Jing City drew lots today. Which school did they play against?"

"We were drawn against Daiei Gakuin University in Osaka in the first group, which is pretty strong," said Yukimura Seiichi. "But Rikkai University's three consecutive championships are not at all ineffective. We won't lose to anyone."

"Hey, Da Rong College, I remember this school is very strong in basketball."

"Yes, their tennis is good too. But the strongest in Osaka is still Shitenhoji."

Kurikawa Sana was stunned for a moment.

When mentioning Shitenhoji Temple, the first person she would think of is undoubtedly Shiraishi Kuranosuke.

Her white moonlight.

Was it because she happened to talk about Osaka and Shitenhoji Temple that she over-associate and that caused her eyes to hallucinate?

If it wasn't an illusion, why did she see Shiraishi Kuranosuke walking towards her with big strides through the hospital's flower beds and grass?

The boy's silver-gray hair, a tan tone, was layered and curled upwards. His unique hair color and incredibly handsome face seemed even more dazzling in the afternoon sun. He was dressed in casual clothes: a simple, refreshing short-sleeved T-shirt and contrasting shorts. He carried a duffel bag on his back, giving him a dusty look.

His steps became faster and faster, from walking to running, rushing towards Kurikawa Sana.

“…Sana!!!”

It was not until she heard his voice that Kurikawa Sana suddenly realized that everything before her was not an illusion, but real.

Yukimura Seiichi's blue pupils contracted, and he rarely felt threatened.

“… Kuranosuke!!” Kurikawa Sana performed a medical miracle and suddenly stood up from the wheelchair!

Yukimura Seiichi: "..."

Kurikawa Sana was about to take two steps forward when Shiraishi Kuranosuke hugged her.

The hug was swift but gentle, not hurting her wound at all.

Yukimura Seiichi's grip on the wheelchair suddenly tightened.

"Sana..." Shiraishi Kuranosuke buried his face in the girl's neck, trying his best to feel her still-existing breath.

"——I'm glad you're okay."
