Chapter 51: Thanks, Kushida Kikyo

I didn't expect Kushida to take care of me.

Thinking of this, Kanda Shuichi felt a bit complicated inside.

Kushida Kikyo, judging by her behavior at school, shouldn't be in Class D. But the school's class division, if not absolutely fair, is relatively fair.

So, it can be judged that she is not as simple as she appears. Maybe she has a hidden side, and it might be very serious.

Therefore, Kanda Shuichi judged that she was not a simple person.

Because of this, Kanda Shuichi's interactions with her had been very superficial. Apart from asking for information, he wouldn't actively seek her out.

But this time, when he was pretending to be dead, it was her who stayed by his bedside.

Great, now I owe her a favor, and it's a big one.

In Kanda Shuichi's plan, after being attacked by Totsuka Yahiko, this matter should have spread to the class group through Ike or Yamauchi, who love to stir things up.

Then, upon hearing that Kanda Shuichi was unconscious, Hirata or Miyake would definitely not ignore it. So, when Kanda Shuichi woke up, it should have been Miyake or Hirata by his side.

He didn't mind owing them a favor.

But it seems things didn't go according to the script?

What happened while I was asleep?

But before Kanda Shuichi could think more, the ward door opened, and Kushida Kikyo came back with the doctor.

"How are you feeling? Any discomfort?"

"My head is a bit dizzy, but other than that, I think I'm fine."

Hearing Kanda Shuichi's description, the doctor nodded.

"It seems you have a mild concussion from hitting your head when you fell. Just rest well for two days, and you'll be fine. I suggest you rest in your dorm for the next two days and not go to school."

What a good thing, Kanda Shuichi nodded.

Oh right, I forgot to mention, medical care at this school is free. After all, if students get sick without points, the school can't just let them suffer.

"Yes, thank you, doctor."

"You're welcome. Rest for a while, and you can leave the hospital when you feel better."

After giving some instructions, the doctor left the room, and Kanda Shuichi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Kanda, you seem to be afraid of doctors?"

Hearing this, Kanda Shuichi was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I had a hospital stay before."

Kushida didn't ask more, and Kanda Shuichi didn't explain further.

"By the way, I already told Miyake that you're awake. He should be here soon." Kushida, sitting on the caretaker's chair, smiled sweetly.

"Thanks, Kushida."

Kanda Shuichi's expression became a bit serious. No matter what her intentions were, what she did wasn't bad for Kanda Shuichi. He should repay her if he gets the chance.

"We're friends, so helping each other is natural."

Kushida's words left Kanda Shuichi speechless. What did she do to make the school put her in Class D?

To avoid awkwardness, Kanda Shuichi started talking about his experiences during rehab in the hospital.

While Kanda Shuichi and Kushida Kikyo were chatting, the door opened, and Miyake appeared.

Seeing Kanda Shuichi laughing and talking with Kushida Kikyo, Miyake's previously tense mood relaxed.

"Hey, you look pretty good, Shuichi."

"You're good at talking."

Kanda Shuichi glared at him and prepared to leave the hospital.

As a concussion patient, he couldn't walk alone. He couldn't let Kushida help him back to the dorm; they weren't that close.

"Come help me. I'm leaving the hospital."

"Don't you want to rest a bit more?"

Though puzzled, Miyake walked over and brought Kanda Shuichi's school uniform jacket from the hanger.

Kushida thought Kanda Shuichi probably didn't like the hospital atmosphere.

After putting on his shoes, Kanda Shuichi took his uniform, put on his shoes, and draped an arm over Miyake's back. Miyake also supported Kanda Shuichi with his arm.

"I'm a bit hungry. Let's go eat. Kushida, join us. I'll treat you to thank you for taking care of me."

Kushida must not have eaten while taking care of him, so Kanda Shuichi invited her to eat.

"Then I won't be polite."

Kushida clasped her hands under her chin, smiled with her eyes closed, and tilted her head slightly, resting on one hand.

After eating, the three parted ways. Miyake took Kanda Shuichi back to the dorm, while Kushida had other things to do.

"Rest first. I'll call you for dinner. If you need anything, let me know. I won't go to club activities this afternoon."

"Thanks, Akito. I should be fine."

"I'll stay in my room this afternoon."

After Miyake left, Kanda Shuichi let out a heavy sigh. Pretending to be sick was quite tiring.

Speaking of which, he didn't read a single page of the book he brought to the library today. As soon as he got there, Kamuro caught him to explain the topic, and then they put on a big show. Later, he didn't have a chance to go back to the library to get the book.

Thinking of this, Kanda took out his phone.

[Did you help me get my book?]

The message was naturally sent to Kamuro, because the book was right next to her textbook at that time, she couldn't have missed it.

[You're awake?]

This message felt full of malice.

[Yes, but my head is still a bit dizzy. The doctor said it's a mild concussion. I'm in the dorm now.]

Considering that sending messages on the phone might leave evidence, Kanda Shuichi didn't mention the act he put on with Katsuragi and Yahiko at all.

Seeing the message from Kamuro, Kanda felt speechless. You're too cautious. Then she quickly typed.

[Do you need me to bring the book to your dorm?]

[No need, just give it to Miyake when you go to school tomorrow. I'm taking two days off. (??????)??]

At this time, Kanda Shuichi absolutely couldn't meet Kamuro. Although this act against Katsuragi was very beneficial to Sakayanagi, it was still a frame-up.

If he accidentally left evidence, Kanda Shuichi could become passive and might even lose Kamuro, the pawn he planted in Class A.

Although he was confident he wouldn't say anything wrong, it was still tiring.

But now he was so free, what should he do in the afternoon?

Unconsciously, Kanda Shuichi looked at the high-end computer he rarely used after buying it.
