Chapter 337 Twenty-four Sweethearts

The second-year students ran here after school. They learned from Morobushi Kagemitsu early in the morning that their friend was sick. They were only briefly surprised as they didn't know much about Akae Nazuki's physique. However, the guardian sweethearts from the future knew a little more, so they couldn't help but have more guesses.

For example, the temperature hasn't dropped recently, and there are no classmates around me who have a cold or fever. Akajina Yue's physique is difficult to be infected unless in extreme circumstances, so how did he get such a high fever... Is it because time is about to recover?

It's not impossible, but if that's the case, Na Yue's illness might not be cured until they return to the future. Even without mentioning their original plan, this is not good news.

After all, according to the situation that they had to fight every day before, the frequency of the appearance of the bad sweetheart and the bad guy would not be reduced just because Chi Jiang Na Yue was sick, but they would not let their sick friends go to fight, so how to deal with it? This is one problem, and the other problem is even simpler... If it takes another week to go back to the future, does Chi Jiang Na Yue have to have a high fever for seven days?

They did not talk about these real problems. Even after learning that their friend was sick, they said hello to the kids at school and everyone returned to the Akae house. They just joked with Akae Nayue like that. They knew each other's inner concerns, but no one mentioned it.

At three or four in the afternoon, when the elementary school was over, the group of children who had been worried about the transfer student all day showed up outside the Chijiang house on time. Chijiang Nayue's bed was right under the window, so after hearing the sound, he raised his upper body and lay on the windowsill, looking towards the door leisurely.

The boys who were originally greeting Chijiangyou politely when he opened the door noticed the gaze and raised their heads at the same time, just in time to meet the eyes of the boy behind the window glass.

The transfer student who seemed cold most of the time but actually had a very expressive face now had a listless look. Even though a whole day had passed, his face was still flushed unhealthily. His reactions were also much slower than usual. After several seconds of eye contact, he slowly raised his hand and waved it twice, just as a greeting.

"…This should have nothing to do with whether he is sick or not." The blond mixed-blood top student made a sharp comment, "Isn't he usually so perfunctory?"

"That's true." Kenji was choked.

"Come to think of it, I wanted to ask you this when I got home from school just now." Zhen Ping frowned, pointing at Ling's arm with a puzzled look on his face, "Why are you carrying two schoolbags?" "This is Chijiang's bag, right? Look, his pendant is here too." Hang also came over, and while speaking in surprise, he reached out and fiddled with the thing hanging on the zipper of the bag, with a subtle expression, "I really want to know where you bought all these..."

——Hanging on it was a plate of delicious-looking curry and a porcelain cup filled with black liquid.

Of course, it is a smaller version for hanging.

They often see those cute little pendants on their female classmates, so the main reason for their surprise is… who would hang curry and coffee on their bags? How much do you want to eat these two things!

The ten-year-old transfer student couldn't answer this question, but the twenty-eight-year-old President Akae had something to say.

It was because Yuu-chan and Seigo didn't agree with him drinking coffee, and even spicy curry was said that children's stomachs were not suitable for eating too much, so they pulled him out of the kitchen. Damn it, he just wanted to try it to see what the difference was between children's taste buds and adults'.

"Then you can do the same after you return to the future." Furiya Ling crossed his arms over his chest and pointed out with a smile, "Didn't you learn the ability of Ms. Okura from the hound? She turned me and you into babies before. It's okay to change your age and eat and drink."

Chijiang Nayue glanced at him gloomily.

What is this guy talking about? Who is the person who usually forbids him to drink coffee while working at night and also limits his coffee intake every day?

He drinks four, five, six, seven, eight... cups a day!

The great savior snorted lightly, not wanting to pay any attention to his annoying little friend. He moved closer to the window glass and exhaled, causing white mist to form on the glass. Then he stretched out his hand and drew a simple gloomy face on the white mist.

=（

The curtains were drawn back, leaving the people below looking up at the unhappy expression, confused.

"Are you in a bad mood because you are sick?" Kenji tried to guess.

"When he wasn't sick, he wasn't in a very good mood either."

Hang pondered: "Is it because he didn't see us bring spicy curry? But generally speaking, we wouldn't bring such greasy and spicy food to patients."

"Hmm... I think it's probably neither of them." Xiao Jingguang floated beside them, and pointed at the bag that belonged to Chijiang Nayue that Ling was carrying with a subtle look, "Maybe it's because he found out that Zero brought all his homework here?"

After several people looked at each other, the leader Xiao Ling was the first to shake his head and deny: "This shouldn't be the reason, right? Because the transfer student's grades are very good, and he is usually the one who completes the homework the easiest." Xiao Ling said seriously.

Seeing his determined face, Xiao Jingguang, who had originally guessed, was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "Okay... maybe I guessed wrong."

Meanwhile, in the room upstairs.

"Zero-kun, you brought homework to your deskmate when you visited him." Chijiang Nayue looked at the blond sweetheart in the air with a 'you are unreasonable' look, "Hurry up and change this bad habit!"

"Sorry, what? Aka, this is clearly my good habit of caring about you!" Furuya was about to apologize to the little devil without any reflex, but then he suddenly realized that he had nothing to apologize for, so he immediately retorted unyieldingly, "Hiro also agreed."

Morobushi Kagemitsu beside him nodded in approval: "Aka, there's no point in avoiding homework."

Chijiang Nayue snorted in dissatisfaction and turned his head away: "But I'm a patient now! I don't care, we're going back soon anyway, and I don't want to write those childish and mentally retarded elementary school homework!" He openly slandered the homework book.

"Why do I feel like Aka has become more childish after turning ten?" Jinpei Matsuda and Kou Date huddled together and muttered, "Before, this guy's idol image wouldn't allow him to 'not do his homework'."

Having a wife who is an elementary school teacher means that Ida Kou has a deeper understanding of elementary school students' homework than his friend who graduated from elementary school more than ten years ago. So he stroked his chin and defended Akae Nazuki: "I think it's because those homeworks are really useless and boring to Nazuki. He always hates boring things the most."

"That's true." Matsuda Jinpei ruffled his hair and began to worry seriously, "But I don't have anything on hand right now, otherwise I could make him a few toys to pass the time."

Date Kou: "...Don't treat your friend who is two years younger than you as a real ten-year-old kid, Matsuda. Be careful not to get teased when you go back."

Matsuda Jinpei said nonchalantly: "It's just a fight, isn't it? I have to take time out to practice with Aka every day anyway, it doesn't matter."

Ida Hang hesitated to speak.

Matsuda, have you forgotten something? For example, a certain little bastard now actually has the ability to turn into a girl... The next person who is forced to announce to the Metropolitan Police Department that he has a girlfriend may be you.

But what does this have to do with him? The upright squad leader thought evilly: He has been persecuted once, how can others be an exception?

"Okay, okay, Xiao Nayue, do you want to hear about Xiao Zhenping's dark history? This will kill us a lot of time~" Hagiwara Kenji intimately touched his friend's now soft and hot cheeks and raised his hand to suggest.

"Hey Hagi——"

Chijiang Nayue showed a confused expression: "Huh?"

He asked a fatal question directly: "Don't I know everything I need to know about Zhen Ping's dark history? Is there anything you haven't told me before?"

"What on earth were you two talking about while I was away?"

Hagiwara Kenji crossed his fingers and said, "Wouldn't it be meaningless if I said it all in one breath? Besides, I only remembered this after I saw the twelve-year-old Jinpei."

"…So I told you not to ignore me!" Matsuda Jinpei rushed between them angrily and bumped into the child's cheek. He deliberately used less force, so the unruly little curly hair only poked a shallow pit on Akae Nazuki's face, which looked very elastic.

Furiya Rei couldn't help but rub his fingers secretly.

Oops, I really want to pinch it...

The relaxed and happy atmosphere in the room suddenly stagnated for a moment.

"Is there a situation?" Chi Jiang Na Yue raised an eyebrow, looked at the friends around him, and said with certainty, "It seems that there is indeed a situation. Where is the bad sweetheart or the bad guy?"

"You need to rest now." Fūya Ling frowned and looked at him disapprovingly. "You will not have much strength after having a fever. This will be dangerous."

"Are you serious?" Chi Jiangnayue shrugged, "Is there ever a time when I am not in danger?"

"Don't change the subject." Hagiwara Kenji said helplessly, "Natsuki-chan, even if you want to go, Mrs. You and Mr. Seigo downstairs won't let you go, right? You can't climb through the window..."

And now they could hear footsteps at the stairs, obviously the children were walking towards this room.

Chijiang Nayue did not reply and looked away silently.

Hagiwara Kenji's expression froze: "Wait, you wouldn't do that, right?"

The few guardian sweethearts looked at each other, and the next moment they rushed towards Chijiang Nayue without hesitation, trying to stop their imaginative friend from opening the window.

However, as a child who had been feverish for the whole day, Chijiang Nayue miraculously still had enough energy to grab a certain guardian sweetheart in mid-air, then climbed onto the windowsill and trustingly gestured to a few friends behind him who did not hold him, using the same secret hand gestures they had learned in the police academy.

[Outside the door, I leave it to you, help me hold him off. ]

The few people left behind: ...

At the same time that Akae Nazuki jumped out, the door was opened and Xiao Yanji, who was smiling and greeting her, said, "Xiao Nazuki—huh?"

His greeting was cut short, for the room in front of him was empty, save for the open window and the curtains fluttering beside the bed as if mocking them.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Akajiang You, who came up with the other children, looked at the little boy standing frozen at the door in confusion.

The twelve-year-old second-year graduate student was sweating profusely as he bore a weight that his small shoulders could not bear!

"Well, well, Sister You! I still think we shouldn't disturb Xiao Nayue's rest, let him have a good sleep!" Xiao Yanji closed the door with his hands and feet, turned his head and looked at Akae You with a brilliant and stiff look, and suggested, "Why don't we chat with Sister You for a while? We can talk about Xiao Nayue's things in school!"

After being manipulated by Kenji, the others didn’t react to what happened until they saw the guardian sweetheart Cangsang squeeze out from behind the door and told them in fear again—

Chi Jiang Na Yue in the room had escaped from prison and was not here at the moment.

There are three more people sweating profusely in this corridor... Xiao Jingguang doesn't count, ghosts can't sweat.
