Go back the way you came.
After descending the mountain, Otosaka Souji and the others took a bus back towards Hoshinoumi Academy.
On the bus, Otosaka Souji carefully leaned close to Tomori Nao's ear and said something.
"Tori-chan, I won't be going back to Hoshinoumi Academy for now."
"I plan to go home and see my sister first."
"Let me explain this to you beforehand. If there are any special circumstances, please call me."
"By the way, could you please ask me to take a day off?"
Otosaka Souji hadn't seen Otosaka Ayumi for a day or two and missed her terribly.
Not to mention that Ayumi Otosaka is currently suffering from a cold.
Fortunately, when Otosaka Souji is not home, Yuu-nii takes care of Ayumi.
Furthermore, Otosaka Pichu also stays by Otosaka Ayumi's side, so Otosaka Souji can know immediately if anything happens.
When Nao Tomori heard that Souji Otosaka was going home to take care of his younger sister, she agreed without hesitation.
"Then you should go home and take good care of your younger sister! And please give my regards to Ayumi-chan."
"Okay, I understand."
With Nao Tomori's permission, Souji Otosaka was able to go home with peace of mind.
Otosaka Souji got off the bus midway through the journey.
However, before getting off the bus, Otosaka Souji turned around and grinned at everyone, saying something.
"Then I'll take my leave now."
…………
The Otosaka family.
"I'm back!"
Upon returning home, Otosaka Souji went to Ayumi's room.
All that could be seen was Ayumi Otosaka lying in bed, with a fever-reducing patch on her forehead.
"I can't speak," said Ayumi Otosaka weakly.
"Welcome back, Chief."
Otosaka Souji stepped forward and touched Otosaka Ayumi's face and forehead.
It's hotter than before.
"It seems your cold is getting worse!"
Did you get enough rest while I was away?
Ayumi Otosaka, lying in bed, nodded.
"Achoo~"
"Of course I got plenty of rest!"
"And my classmate even came to visit me yesterday."
"Achoo~"
Seeing that Ayumi Otosaka's fever had worsened, and hearing that a classmate had come to visit her yesterday.
These two events together gave Otosaka Souji a strange sense of familiarity.
"Could it be... that Ayumi-chan is about to awaken her ability?" Otosaka Souji wondered to himself, frowning.
Otosaka Souji stroked his chin thoughtfully, then continued to speculate.
"Perhaps fever is the prelude to the awakening of abilities."
"This also explains why Bu Wei suddenly developed a fever and caught a cold without any warning."
"If it's about to awaken an ability, then all of this makes sense."
For the next half day, Otosaka Souji took meticulous care of Ayumi-chan.
"Pumpkin, oats, millet, red dates, and a little brown sugar."
Otosaka Souji, standing in the kitchen, was preparing to cook a bowl of nourishing porridge for Ayumi-chan.
Pumpkin contains pectin and vitamins, which can detoxify and protect the gastrointestinal mucosa, promote bile secretion, and enhance gastrointestinal motility.
Millet has the effects of strengthening the spleen and kidneys, nourishing the kidneys and calming the mind, and nourishing yin and beautifying the skin.
Red dates and brown sugar can replenish blood and qi, nourish blood and calm the mind, and improve restlessness.
This bowl of pumpkin, oat, millet, red date, and brown sugar porridge is just right for Buweijiang, who has a fever and a cold.
Cooking a good bowl of porridge requires a lot of patience.
As the porridge in the pot gradually thickened, Otosaka Souji, having timed it perfectly, turned off the heat.
"Buwei-chan, your lovingly prepared pumpkin oat millet red date brown sugar porridge is here!"
Otosaka Souji brought a bowl of hot porridge to Otosaka Ayumi's bedside.
Ayumi Otosaka sat up in bed.
"Open your mouth, Ayumi-chan, and try the nourishing porridge I made for you." Otosaka Souji scooped up a spoonful of porridge and fed it to Ayumi-chan's lips.
Ayumi Otosaka also opened her mouth quite consciously.
This spoonful of steaming hot porridge made Ayumi Otosaka feel warm and welcome.
With one bite, the rice grains spread out in your mouth, releasing a subtle sweetness, as if a sweet gentleness is blooming on your tongue.
"Mmm, this porridge is so delicious."
"Of course! How could my cooking not be delicious!"
"This is different; there's a very special feeling in this porridge!"
"Oh! Is there something different about it?"
"It's a very gentle feeling."
A gentle feeling? This left Otosaka Souji a little confused.
However, Otosaka Souji didn't dwell too much on such unimportant matters, and continued to slowly feed Ayumi porridge.
Soon, the bowl of porridge was empty.
"I'm very satisfied," said Ayumi Otosaka after finishing her porridge.
"It tastes so good, I feel warm all over now."
"It's not as bad as it was at the beginning."
"This porridge is amazing!"
Otosaka Souji affectionately patted Ayumi's hair and said gently with a smile.
"So, Buwei, do you still want some porridge?"
"Mmm! I want more. After finishing a bowl, I feel like my appetite has been stimulated."
"Then I'll get you another bowl of porridge."
Otosaka Souji came to the kitchen again and served Ayumi a bowl of porridge.
After drinking two bowls of porridge, Ayumi Otosaka felt full.
Seeing that Ayumi Otosaka had eaten and drunk her fill, Souji Otosaka gave her a reminder.
"Don't lie down right after you've eaten. Sit and rest for a while until you're no longer full before you lie down."
"I understand, Chief. I'm full of energy now and don't want to lie down at all."
For the rest of the time, Otosaka Souji stayed with Ayumi and chatted with her.
"Oh! You mean three classmates came to visit you yesterday?"
"Yes! One is our class monitor, one is a classmate, and the other is the boy I told you about last time, the one I rejected."
Upon hearing that there was even a boy who had confessed to Ayumi, Otosaka Souji frowned and pondered.
"That boy hasn't given up yet, has he? Is he still trying to steal my little cabbage?"
"No, we can't let him succeed!"
Otosaka Souji was pondering how to get that brat to give up on his little cabbage.
Although Otosaka Souji was extremely enthusiastic about anything related to Otosaka Ayumi, he couldn't think of any good solutions for the time being.
Therefore, Otosaka Souji could only keep this matter to himself for the time being and deal with it when he came up with a solution.
Otosaka Souji stayed by Otosaka Ayumi's side until Ayumi yawned.
Otosaka Souji stood up, flicked Ayumi's nose, and said.
"Alright, you seem sleepy, so I won't disturb your rest any longer."
"Okay, thank you for your help, Chief."
"It's not troublesome at all, and I'd actually be happy to do it!"
"Hehe, as expected, you're the best to me, Souji-nii."
"Alright, alright, that's enough. You should rest now."
"Um!"
Afterwards, Otosaka Souji thoughtfully covered Ayumi with a blanket.
