About a month had passed since I rescued Kohime from being hit by a car, and I had come to the hospital for a follow-up checkup.
When I arrived at the hospital and went to check in, I was surprised to see a line formed in front of the reception desk.
What the heck is this….. It would take several tens of minutes just to check in, right?
With my leg in a cast, waiting in line was like doing hard labor, and I didn’t want to wait in line if possible.
As I was thinking about that—.
“It has been accepted ! It took a while to get in, but when I asked the receptionist, she said that since we had an appointment, there wouldn’t be that long of a wait before we could see the doctor.”
The person who went to the reception desk on my behalf was Kohime, who naturally followed me to the hospital even though there was no need for her to do so.
When I arrived at the hospital and was about to go to the reception desk, Kohime told me that she would go to the reception desk on my behalf.
I was in a cast and it consumed energy just to stand, so I took advantage of her kindness and sat in a chair and waited for her to go to the reception desk.
I think that accompanying me to the hospital is part of the personal care she promised me in return for a favor.
However, I thought it would be too much of a bother to ask her to do that much for me, so when she offered to accompany me to the hospital, I refused.
However, there was no way she would back down, so she ended up going with me to the hospital.
“Then that’s good. But I really wish you didn’t have to go with me. If you want, you can go home now.”
“There’s no way I’m going home after coming this far. I’d like to help Eita san get the check-up as easily as possible !”
I asked her if she could go home just to be sure, but it seems like Kohime has no intention of going home at all.
Even though it was my fault that I was injured, a normal human being would not be able to take care the savior so devotedly
I’m sure Princess Kohime will make a good wife. I don’t know whose wife she will be.
“I think I’ll have a good life if Kohime becomes my wife.”
“Eh—“
“Ah……”
I suddenly thought of something and said it out loud in the worst possible way.
The way I say it now, it’s like saying that I want Kohime to be my wife, so it’s no wonder that Kohime, who misunderstood, reacted in surprise.
“I-it’s not like that, okay? I didn’t mean it that way, I was just imagining that seeing how devoted you are right now, you would definitely make a good bride, Kohime……”
“Ah, y-yes. I know. But it’s not like that. There are many parts of me that are clumsy……”
“Maybe there’s a part of you that I don’t know about, but Kohime has a kindness that more than makes up for it.”
“T-thank you…….”
Though the atmosphere was a little more sensitive, we made it to the front of the orthopedic surgery’s office, sat down in a chair, and waited for my turn to be called.
“I’m really sorry……. If I hadn’t zoned out and crossed the street, you wouldn’t have to wait this long……”
“Stop apologizing already. You’ve apologized more than enough, and now that I’ve become friends with Kohime, I’m okay with the outcome. If it weren’t for Kohime, there’s a possibility that by now I would have stopped going to school and become a loser due to the sadness of being dumped by my ex-girlfriend.”
“I appreciate you saying so, but……”
“So anyway, that’s the end of it. Do you understand?”
“……Yes. I understand.”
As I was talking to Kohime, my number was called, and I got up from my seat and started to head to the hospital room.
“It’s my turn. It’s just an observation, so I don’t think it will take that long.”
“….Eh? Of course I’ll go into the doctor’s office with you.”
“Eh, no, there’s no need for you to go that far. I can get to the examination room by myself.”
“I can’t do that. I’m Eita san’s guardian today. I’ll join you.”
“I-I see. Well, fine.”
I really had no problem going in by myself, but since my number was called, I had to get inside the examination room as soon as possible, so I let Kohime to come inside the room too.
“Excuse us.”
Kohime opened the door to the examination room, so I said a word entered the examination room.
A nurse was standing in front of the door and guided us in.
“Please sit in this chair. Erm……please sit it, Ms.Girlfriend.”
[ [Eh?] ]
We blushed so much at the nurse’s misunderstanding that I thought it would be better to have her examine our faces, which had turned red like a boiled octopus, than to examine my broken leg.
◆◇
On my way home from the hospital, I was sitting alongside Kohime in the backseat of the car driven by Miki san, a servant of the Arayashiki family.
“I’m really sorry ! I acted so brazenly that Eita san ended up being embarrassed…….”
“No, it was certainly embarrassing because it was out of the blue, but it’s nothing to be ashamed about and I don’t mind.”
“No, it would be fine if someone mistook a more beautiful and attractive woman as your girlfriend but I think you might have been offended if a stumpy girl like me was mistaken for your girlfriend…”
In fact, I was really embarrassed that the nurse mistook us for a couple, but if Kohime really is my girlfriend, I would not be embarrassed to show her off.
“As I said before, I think you’re attractive enough that I would be happy if you were my wife. It was embarrassing to suddenly be mistaken, but Kohime is attractive.”
“Ah, um, well, thank you very much….”
“Well, I won’t deny that you’re stumpy.”
“Shouldn’t you deny that the most !?”
The relationship between me and Kohime has deepened to the point where we can joke around like this.
Above all, I can be myself when I’m with her.
When I was with Sumika I wasn’t confident with myself and I was afraid that being with Sumika would bother her…….
I thought about it when I saw how devoted she was to me, accompanying me to the hospital and working to make sure I didn’t have a hard time, even though I told her she didn’t have to come because it would be a nuisance for her.
Maybe I do like Kohime.
