Progress 010

  Just as he was about to go get a bandage and redo it, he noticed that her eyes were staring at him.

  Oh no, it was the first time she had a new expression on her face apart from her usual silly and foolish look. Because she was staring at the food on the table behind him with all her might, her eyes were filled with a sense of grievance that seemed to say "I can see but cannot eat".

  This is progress.

  Kōmura thought, she had a reaction, she wasn't really stupid and dull, she would express her dissatisfaction in this way, at least proving that her IQ was not a big problem.

  She smiled lightly and picked up the millet porridge on the table, and indeed saw a look of longing in her eyes.

  She wanted to eat porridge. Her eyes honestly expressed her thoughts without any concealment.

  For some reason, he had the urge to tease her, so Yukimura deliberately took a few steps back, which also made the millet porridge move away from her. Sure enough, she saw that she was dissatisfied with pursing her lips, and then she glared at him. She stared at him tightly, as if she would fight him to the death if he dared to eat it.

  Yes, this reflects, just like a cat with its fur standing on end, it's really cute.

  As she struggled to get up again, Yukimura finally fed her the millet porridge as she had wished.

  He fed her, spoonful by spoonful. She opened her mouth wide and didn't refuse, swallowing each bite as soon as it was fed to her, looking quite satisfied with the food.

  But as soon as he slowed down, she would glare at him, expressing her discontent.

  Koumura thought, this progress is too big. From not even bothering to now glaring at people to express his dissatisfaction, wasn't this guy unwilling to bother with him rather than unable to understand?

  It's already 10 o'clock at night. The weather outside is really unpredictable. Just now, the stars were shining brightly in the sky, but before long, a light rain started falling again.

  The pot and bowl were all washed clean. Kōmura looked at the time, it had been an hour since he ate the millet porridge, it was time to take his medicine.

  The girl went back to her original room to rest after finishing the millet porridge. But he knew that she actually didn't sleep. She was in a state of half-sleep, clearly feeling very uncomfortable, yet stubbornly refusing to let her eyelids close peacefully, as if afraid that once she fell asleep, she wouldn't be able to wake up again. It was really restless for even a moment.

  As usual, she crushed the medicine and mixed it with warm water. Yukimura took a cup and walked to her side, "Time to take your medicine."

  Her eyes were tightly closed, as if she had really fallen asleep. She changed back to the corpse mode at the beginning, and her whole body emitted a cold breath, as if warning something, this breath change was too obvious, Sugimura thought that he couldn't pretend not to know.

  "This medicine isn't bitter at all," he said seriously. The fever-reducing medicine from before seemed to have been absolutely detestable to her.

  This sentence seemed to stun her for a moment. Half a second later, she opened her eyes, which were clear and not like those of someone who had just woken up.

  Just like eating millet porridge, he fed her a spoonful and she swallowed a mouthful. Before long, the small cup of medicine was all gone.

  After feeding her medicine, she looked like she was half asleep. Kokomura felt uncomfortable himself and said to her: "Go to sleep. It's safe here, no one will hurt you."
