Chapter Five: A Girl Like That

  Her sleeping posture was no different from when she leaned against the wall earlier, still quiet and gentle, half a day had passed and she hadn't moved at all, nor did I see any rise and fall of her chest or abdomen to indicate whether she was breathing.

  The only difference is that pair of pure black eyes, which are closed at this moment.

  He moved a chair over and sat down quietly, propping up his head with his hands as he stared at her.

  The girl's entire face was deathly pale, as if she would disappear at any moment due to her fragility. The two large wounds on her upper body were neatly and beautifully wrapped with white bandages. Sister Mihoko [Assistant-san] had also carefully put a large white undershirt on her, which seemed to be one of her own, since it was a slightly oversized women's undershirt.

  Before today, Yukimura never thought that in this world, there would still be such a person.

  The body suffered such injuries, yet it didn't make a sound, not even moving an inch, letting the rain hit its body like a silent and lifeless corpse.

  She didn't feel any pain? That's impossible. She fainted from the pain in the back, so he could bring her back.

  Saying the wound isn't deep, it just looks scary? That's not possible either. Mr. Kawashima said that this body is like it jumped into a huge fruit juicer and was blown up in a circle before crawling out to be hacked with a knife...

  How can there be such people in this world?

  Her long hair was dark and luscious, looking like it should be of good quality, but the ends were split badly, you could tell at a glance that she had never taken good care of it. And those eyes, they were black to the point where they couldn't get any blacker. It wasn't just the color, it was a feeling, as if they could absorb even light and turn it into nothingness... What kind of person was this?

  Shaking his head slightly, the young boy looked at the time with a hint of helplessness. It's already been twenty minutes, didn't Mr. Kawashima say he'd wake up soon?

  He stood up and walked closer to her, staring at her for nearly twenty minutes. The girl's posture remained the same as before, quiet and gentle.

  He reached out his hand, and Yukimura brushed aside her slightly disheveled black hair from her forehead, revealing her delicate small face. She looked a bit frail, and when he pinched her cheek, there was hardly any flesh to pinch. She was really too thin.

  He carefully checked her body temperature and frowned slightly. "How can it still be so hot? If this continues, it'll damage her brain!"

  Find the antipyretic from the medicine left by Kawashima, and carefully read the instructions. He crushed the pills and diluted them with warm boiled water. After all, the person was still dizzy, and it was a technical job to let her swallow the pill without choking, which Yukimura didn't have.

  However, when he brought the medicine to the bedside, Yukimura was worried again.

  How to feed? Can't really follow the TV show and feed mouth-to-mouth, right?

  He glanced sideways at the girl's pale lips and swallowed his saliva, but gave up anyway!

  Fortunately, heaven does not cut off a man's path. After rummaging through boxes and cabinets for half a day, he finally found a pacifier.

  Although the medicine that was already prepared has gone cold and can't be drunk, it's no big deal to just brew another packet with milk. Anyway, there are plenty of medicines at Uncle Kawashima's place, so we don't have to worry about running out.
