Ch 103. Neck Hickey

Ebina behind, wanting to say something, but didn't spoke.

Although she could be cheeky and ask Yukino to see if she could replace Miura hut with an airtight wooden house.

But thinking of her friend's character, she could only bitterly swallow what she wanted to say.

It wasn't until Miura finished speaking that Yukino unwrapped the package that was on the side, and said in a calm tone:

"Take the medicine first."

Miura was lying on the bed and couldn't fully see the contents of the package, but Ebina could see it clearly.

There were three red candles neatly placed in the package, as well as a some small cut-out capsule.

Seeing her taking out a capsule and looking back at her, Ebina hurried forward to help Miura up.

"Open your mouth."

Looking at this classmate who used to have a bad relationship with her, Miura's pink lips moved, and after saying "thank you" softly, she opened her mouth slightly.

Miura fell asleep after taking the medicine, and the only sound in the wooden house was the conversation between Yukino and Ebina.

"Ebina, Yui has already gone to see Hiratsuka-sensei, and will bring her here later, so you can stay with the teacher temporarily."

"Hmm, Yukinoshita-san, I'm really sorry to trouble you."

"Heh, you're welcome, I'll take it as Yui's commission."

"Hey... Yukinoshita-san and Yui have a good relationship?"

"Cough, please don't expose your Fujoshi nature in front of me, besides, Yui and I are both girls."

"Girls can also have true love~"

 Yukino looked at the classmate in front of her with an dumb expression, feeling very helpless.

Seeing that Shizuka Hiratsuka hasn't came yet, she thought about it, and quietly bypassed the topic about 'true love'.

"Ebina, are you and Miura used to living here? Do you want me to arrange a job you like for you?"

"Eh?"

After recovering, Ebina was taken aback for a moment, then quickly waved her hands.

"No, no, this cooking job is actually pretty good."

Speaking of which, she quietly glanced at Miura, who had her eyes closed, and continued after confirming that she was sleeping soundly:

"It's Yumiko... Yukinoshita-san, as you know, she has a arrogant personality and often conflicts with the aunts in the kitchen.

But, there is no big problem, she will get used to it after a while, so you don't need to worry."

 Yukino nodded, and didn't talk too much regarding this issue. This is indeed the Miura she knew.

So she never doubted whether Yui was bewitched before she said the remark about exchanging residences.

Regarding the situation that Ebina said, it is true that she can help Miura change her job.

However, this is a only a temporary solution, not the root cause. After all, it is work, and it is inevitable that she will come into contact with other people.

"Crackling..."

Just when the two of them didn't know what else to talk about, the wooden door behind them was opened directly.

 Yukino didn't need to look back to know the identity of the person who came. Among the people she knew, there were only two people who could do this kind of rude behavior.

One is her sister and the other is her teacher.

Perhaps because of the consideration towards the sick student, Shizuka had a faint scent of perfume on her body at the moment, which was obviously used to cover up the smell of cigarettes.

She walked to the bed, looked at the pale girl, and sighed helplessly.

"So, when you encountered this situation, you never thought of me, your Teacher?"

Shizuka glanced at Ebina next to her, with a angry face.

"..."

Ebina lowered her head silently, and did not answer.

On the one hand, it was because of the teacher in front of her. Even though her high school life had become a thing of the past, Shizuka's majesty was still deeply imprinted in her heart.

On the other hand, it was because of Miura, a arrogant friend who would rather push through everything by herself than ask others for help.

 Yui raised her hand, but she didn't dare to explain anything after all.

"Miss Hiratsuka, if you have anything else to say, you can take them to your residence and talk slowly."

Just when the atmosphere was about to stiffen, Yukino reminded her.

"I'll carry Miura on my back, you help me."

In front of the patient, Shizuka couldn't say any anything more, she squatted down slightly with her back to Miura who was lying on the bed.

After a while, as the candles were extinguished, the wooden house fell into silence, leaving only the whistling wind.

 …

Early in the morning, five o'clock.

 Yao opened his eyes, let go of the warm and fragrant woman in his arms, and patted her face with his hand.

"Yao-kun...is it morning already?"

Asuna opened her eyes in a daze, and after a while she was fully awake.

Yao got out of bed and walked to the window, only to find that the rain outside had stopped at some point.

"Get ready and go after eating something."

Just as she was about to change clothes, she suddenly realized that the little man behind her was still looking at her.

"Go back to your room!"

"Remember to wear thick clothes, especially on the ankles and arms, and completely cover them."

Seeing her shy and vigilant look, Yao smiled, not too greedy for the beautiful scenery in front of him, after all, yesterday's gain is enough.

After he left the bedroom, Asuna breathed a sigh of relief, lit a candle with a lighter, and was about to look for any long-sleeved clothes underneath.

However….

Looking in the mirror, she touched the reddish hickey on her neck, and her cheeks became flushed.

"Yao-kun is really like a 'child'…"

Thinking of Yao's behavior yesterday, she complained in a low voice, and then put this matter in the deepest part of her heart.

When she changed her clothes and went downstairs, she saw Yao who was already sitting at the dining table, and a bowl of steaming milk had already been placed in her place.

"All ready?"

Yao looked at the candle light casually, biting the bread in his hand from time to time, "Apart from clothes, is there anything else you want to  bring with you? After leaving, you can't come back here for a long time."

 Asuna didn't answer immediately, but walked around the room, and finally came to him and sat down, shaking her head slowly.

"there is none left."

"Then eat, there is still some time before dawn, let's set off in the dark."

"Um."

Looking at the big bowl of milk in front of her, Asuna couldn't help but look at the little man next to her a few more times, with a satisfied smile in her eyes.
