Izumi Toru [hurriedly] patted her back and said: "Sakurai, are you okay? Even if it tastes good, you have to drink it slowly."

The choked girl was unable to answer him for the time being.

Of course, even if she could answer, she didn't know how to answer.

Huge loopholes were discovered only after the strategy just conceived was implemented.

However, this vulnerability... was discovered too late.

After a while, she calmed down her breathing and mood.

Raising her head, Izumi Tetsu, the source of her embarrassment, was still smiling, handsome and gentle.

However, Sakurai Ruiko has completely understood.

He did it on purpose.

That was intentional from the beginning!

Maybe even indirect kissing is part of his plan.

Wait, why would he do such a thing on purpose?

Yes, even if I am a pretty girl even though I have a bad temper and bad figure, a pervert like him would still want to kiss me...

Thinking of this, her face started to feel hot again.

Isn't it enough for this guy to have them? He also wants me to...

But, I already said I won’t like you!

And I usually treat you like this, why?

The girl's already complicated mood became even more complicated.

"Let's go, it's time to go back."

"oh……"

Sakurai Ruiko silently followed Izumi Tetsu as she had come.

clatter!

clatter!

clatter!

The sound of the clogs colliding with the floor was very clear. The girl's eyes were originally staring at his feet, and then gradually moved up.

He is much taller than me.

And the back looks very broad and reassuring.

She remembered the feeling of being carried by Izumi Toru before.

If my feet never heal, I wonder if those days will continue forever?

I don't know if a god somewhere heard her request. The girl was walking fine, but suddenly her foot stumbled.

Snap!

Hearing the movement behind him, Izumi Toru turned around immediately.

Sakurai Ruiko, who was originally following behind, slumped in the corridor with a somewhat painful expression.

"are you OK?!"

Sakurai Ruiko wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"No, it's okay."

Izumi Toru lifted up the hem of her yukata. The strap of the clog on the girl's right foot was broken, and her cute white feet were slightly bruised, but Izumi Toru breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, my ankle is not swollen."

"oh……"

"Can you still stand up?"

"I-I'll try."

With the help of Izumi Toru, the girl slowly stood up. As soon as she touched the ground, she screamed in pain and fell into Izumi Toru's arms.

"It hurts a little..."

The girl clutched Izumi Tetsu's clothes tightly, raised her face, and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

But actually, it's not that painful.

But there was a voice inside urging her to do this.

Izumi Toru carried the injured girl on his back.

clatter!

clatter!

clatter!

"It'll be fine if it stays like this..."

The extremely slight murmur made Izumi Toru pause for a moment.

The next moment, he pretended not to hear anything.

"What did you say?"

"Ah, that, what, nothing!" Sakurai Ruiko hurriedly replied.

"oh……"

"Um."

The girl breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I didn't hear it clearly.

Why did you just say what was on your mind?

"Eh? Izumi, what are you doing?"

Izumi Toru raised his head and was stunned for a moment when he saw Kyoko Shiratori holding a yukata.

Why did you take off your yukata again?

It's so late, are you looking for yourself?

"Well, Sakurai-san hurts her foot. I'll take her back to her room."

Shiratori Kyoko nodded.

"Oh... Got it."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to take a bath in the hot springs."

"Huh? Haven't you had a bath?" Izumi Toru asked with some confusion.

Even Sakurai Ruiko was a little confused.

She knew that Izumi Toru and Shiratori Kyoko took a hot spring bath together.

However, Shiratori Kyoko was more confused than them.
