Chapter 51
Kurokawa Akishige and Amuro Toru made a quick decision and rushed towards the direction of the scream.
The beach was crowded with people, the noise was mixed, and different shouts could be vaguely heard.
“Someone’s drowning!”
"Kano!"
Pushing through the crowded crowd, I saw a young woman struggling in the sea and asking for help.
Toru Amuro took off his coat and rushed into the sea without hesitation to save the woman. Akiwa Kurokawa followed closely behind him. At the same time, Ran Mouri also rushed into the sea. The three of them swam towards the drowning woman at the same time.
The drowning woman was in the free diving area. In order to ensure the beauty of the free diving area, there are numerous coral reefs and clumps of corals and reefs surrounding it, which makes the rescue of the three people more difficult.
Amuro Toru swam to Saikawa Yoshino first and was about to move back when he spotted someone trying to save her. He turned around and tried to reach out to her. When rescuing a drowning person, it's best to pull them back from behind. Otherwise, a panicked person could easily entangle the rescuer, causing an irreversible accident.
Kurokawa Akishige stopped Mao Lilan who wanted to help, and took the initiative to swim forward to attract Saikawa Yoshino's attention. He stretched out his hand to Saikawa Yoshino and said, "Hold my hand."
In a panic, Saikawa Yoshino desperately grabbed Kurokawa Akiho's palm and squeezed it with great force.
Kurokawa Akiho frowned, his arm was pinched so hard that it hurt. The seemingly weak Saikawa Kaneo was surprisingly strong, and in an instant she almost pulled him down. He felt a sharp pain in his arm, but the current situation left him no time to care.
Toru Amuro found the right moment, grabbed Saikawa Kanono's armpits from behind, bringing her head out of the water and taking her away.
After reaching the shore, someone rushed over shouting the name of the drowning person.
"Kano!" Shimanaka Naoto looked at Saikawa Kanao nervously, "Kano, are you okay?"
Saikawa Yoshino was still a little exhausted after choking on the water. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine, thanks to them."
Naoto Shimanaka thanked them gratefully: "Thank you for saving Kano."
Kurokawa Akiho was sitting on the beach. His clothes were almost soaked. After being soaked by the sea water, the clothes stuck to his body. He felt awkward and uncomfortable. He turned his head and found that Amuro Toru's situation was no different from his.
Their eyes met, and they both saw the word "embarrassed" in each other.
Conan Edogawa squeezed through the crowd with a towel in his hand. After making sure that no one was in danger, he handed the towel to Naoto Shimanaka.
Shimanaka Naoto took it and covered Saikawa Yoshino with the towel: "Thank you, little brother."
"Kano, are you okay?" Shimanaka Naoto's friend rushed over and asked with concern, "How did you suddenly drown? Aren't you a good swimmer?"
Saikawa Yoshino's voice was a little hoarse: "I don't know why, but my legs suddenly cramped up."
Shimanaka Naoto's face was filled with worry and fear: "Now is not the time for the village to ask this. Thanks to them for saving Kanao."
Murauchi Ichiro noticed the three people who were soaking wet and thanked them gratefully: "Thank you for saving Kano."
Amuro Toru said seriously: "Although it seems nothing serious, drowning can easily lead to ARDS. It's best to go to the hospital for a check-up."
Kurokawa Akiho adjusted his wet hair, water dripping down his cheeks. He frowned uncomfortably and asked casually, "Is there a hospital on the island?"
Chong Sen Ye Zi took the initiative to say, "There is a medical station on the island. It has complete facilities and is equivalent to a small hospital. You can go there to observe it. I will take you there."
Edogawa Conan got a towel from somewhere and handed it to them one by one.
Mao Lilan took the towel and smiled at Conan: "Thank you, Conan."
Suzuki Sonoko: "I was so scared, are you okay, Xiaolan?"
Mao Lilan shook her head: "I'm fine."
Kurokawa Akiho took the towel, wiped the water off his head and said, "Conan is so thoughtful. It's hard for a child of his age to notice these things, right?"
For example, the three kids playing the treasure hunt game didn’t even realize what was happening here.
Amuro Toru lifted his hair that was slightly covering his eyes and picked up his coat that had fallen on the ground: "Conan is indeed much smarter than other children."
He picked up his coat and looked up, a flash of red caught Amuro Toru's eyes. He frowned and reached out to grab Kurokawa Akishige's arm.
Kurokawa Akifusa was stunned: "What's wrong?"
"Your hand is injured." said Toru Amuro.
Kurokawa Akiho took a look at his arm and noticed that it had been scratched at some point and blood was oozing out.
He hesitated for a moment, completely unaware that there was a wound on his arm.
"It must have been an accidental scratch. There are too many corals in the free diving area." Kurokawa Akiho didn't care much about the wound on his arm.
Amuro Toru said helplessly: "Let's go to the medical station to get it treated. Coral scratches can easily lead to bacterial infection."
Okimori Ye Zi was just about to take Shimanaka Naoto to the medical station, so they went there together.
The medical station of Morishima is near the hotel. In order to maintain the original ecology, the surrounding roads have not been overdeveloped. The lush trees on the long trails block the direct sunlight and relieve a little of the summer heat.
The medical station is a single-family building that looks quite old. The walls are covered with ivy, and the simple sign is blocked. Only the words "Medical Station" can be vaguely seen. There are brightly blooming flowers in the rice garden in the courtyard, emitting a faint fragrance. It looks like it has been carefully cared for.
Naoto Shima and his friends were obviously a little skeptical about this small building. They stopped and looked at each other.
Okimori Ye Zi noticed the distrust of several people and took the initiative to say, "The medical station only looks older, but Dr. Miike resigned from a major hospital in Tokyo and returned here. Don't worry."
After hearing this explanation, Naoto Shimanaka breathed a sigh of relief, and then he carried Saikawa Yoshino into the medical station with confidence.
The interior of the medical station looks completely different from its old exterior. It is clean and tidy with a smell of disinfectant.
Kurokawa Akiho looked at the row of chairs in the waiting area. Although they looked new, the rust in the corners showed their age.
Dr. Miike is an older-looking woman with a cold and serious expression.
After seeing Dr. Miike, Shimanaka Naoto was completely relieved and placed Saikawa Yoshino on the single bed.
After Saikawa Yoshino was dealt with, Dr. Miike turned his attention to Kurokawa Akifusa and Amuro Toru: "What's going on with you two?"
"Do you have disinfectant alcohol and bandages? His arm was scratched by the coral." asked Toru Amuro.
Dr. Miike placed a bottle of disinfectant alcohol and a bandage in front of them, turned around, took out a cigarette case, and walked out of the medical station with a cigarette in his mouth.
Kurokawa Akiho looked at the disinfectant alcohol and the sound of someone going out to smoke, and his movements were slow and stagnant for a moment: "Why did the doctor leave? Do I have to disinfect myself?"
Disinfectant alcohol and bandages were on the table. His hands were a little stiff. He looked at his arm and felt at a loss as to where to start.
Oops, I don't know what to do?
Toru Amuro took the sterilized cotton swab and motioned for Akiho Kurokawa to sit down.
Kurokawa Akiho sat obediently on the chair, put his arms on the table, and watched Amuro Toru's skillful operation.
"Mr. Amuro is very skilled."
Amuro Toru slowly dipped a cotton ball in alcohol and held Kurokawa Akiwa's wrist with one hand: "Because I was naughty when I was a child and often got hurt, I naturally became familiar with it after being in contact with him more often."
Kurokawa Akiho's blue eyes flashed with surprise: "Mr. Amuro was naughty when he was a child? I can't tell at all, hiss——"
The wound that had been soaked in sea water was wiped with alcohol, and a burning pain came from it. Kurokawa Akiho's fair face wrinkled into a ball, and he subconsciously wanted to pull his hand away. But before he could pull it halfway, it was firmly grasped by Amuro Toru's big hand.
"Does it hurt? Sorry, I'll be gentler." There was an apology in Amuro Toru's tone.
Kurokawa Akifu took a deep breath, and his nerves throbbed with pain when he pressed the cotton ball soaked in alcohol on the wound.
"The wounds scratched by corals must be cleaned thoroughly. Many corals carry toxins on their surfaces, which can cause infection in the wound. After bandaging, it's best to have a doctor check it out." Looking at Kurokawa Akiho's wrinkled face in pain, Amuro Toru tried to move as gently as possible.
He carefully cleaned the wound on Kurokawa Akiho's arm, wiping the seeping blood with an alcohol cotton ball until all the blood around the wound was cleaned up.
After the full extent of the wound was revealed, Amuro Toru's brows turned serious, and he slowly said, "Mr. Kurokawa, do you still remember how you were injured?"
Kurokawa Akiho was trying to distract himself from the pain. When he heard Toru Amuro's question, he recalled, "It seems like when Miss Saikawa dragged me down, my hand was scratched by something. I guess it was coral. There seemed to be a lot of coral over there."
"Wasn't it Coral who did it?"
He noticed Toru Amuro's expression, looked down at his own wound, and also realized something was wrong.
"Knife wound."
For a time, Kurokawa Akiwa had been particularly interested in swordsmanship, pestering Squalo for a few days of sword lessons. The impatient captain of the Varian combat unit always used real swords and spears when teaching, and Kurokawa, with his constant stream of minor wounds, naturally had a deep impression of the damage caused by swords.
"How could there be a knife in the sea? Did you see Miss Saikawa holding something in her hand before you rescued her to the shore?" Kurokawa Akishige was a little confused. Concerned that people in the ward might hear him, he lowered his voice and asked.
Amuro Toru bandaged Kurokawa Akishige's wound and recalled the situation: "When we arrived, her movements were indeed a bit strange. It was as if she was being held back by something even though she could have saved herself."
Kurokawa Akiwa's eyelashes trembled. Thinking that he was right next to Saikawa Yoshino at the time, he said a little unnaturally: "Mr. Amuro, don't make it sound so scary."
Amuro Toru looked up at the cautious Kurokawa Akishō and couldn't help but laugh, "Mr. Kurokawa is actually afraid too? I thought the principal, who dared to dress up as a ghost in the horror house to scare people, wasn't afraid of these things."
In response to Toru Amuro's teasing, Akiho Kurokawa touched his nose.
He couldn't say that because someone in the amusement park wanted to ruin his business on the first day of its opening, he was so angry that he didn't think about this aspect at all.
"It's different in the amusement park. I designed it myself. How could I be scared?" His eyes were wandering and he muttered softly.
Discovering the unknown side of the young principal, Amuro Toru hid the smile in his eyes and narrated his inner guess in a low voice: "It might be true that there is a pirate treasure on this island."
The suspected pirate's treasure scratched his hand, which meant that the unknown pirate had to compensate him.
Kurokawa Akiwa suddenly became interested in treasure.
He stretched out his hand and motioned Amuro Toru to move forward.
A look of doubt flashed in Toru Amuro's eyes, but he still moved forward.
After Amuro Toru approached, Kurokawa Akiwa leaned close to Amuro Toru's ear and said, "Mr. Amuro, are you interested in treasure hunting?"
The hot air brushed over Amuro Toru's earlobe, bringing a fine and faint itch. The strange feeling made him stunned for a moment, and then he heard what Kurokawa Akifusa said.
Toru Amuro: "..."
