Amamiya was running a fever that could have easily sent her to the emergency room. She returned to the classroom after only an hour, and it was good to see her.
“Hatoyama kun, I didn’t notice it either, so I can’t say anything great about it,…… but that would mean there’s a doctor there.”
……? I thought you went to the infirmary because of the doctor. ……? You sound as if you went there on the assumption that there is no doctor, but, well, the fever must be making you crazy.
Should I recommend leaving early here?
“But I got your sentiments, Hatoyama kun. I was …… so …… happy. ……”
You’re overreacting to the fact that you were taken to the infirmary. Isn’t it more unusual for a guy to ignore the girl sitting next to him when she’s feeling unwell? Well, well… thinking about it objectively, maybe carrying her like a princess was a bit too much.
“I’d do it again and again.”
“A-again and again……?”
Hmm? Isn’t your face red again? Surely a trip to the nurse’s office would be a minor issue, but is this an event that’s happening at such a high pace?
“If you don’t mind, I’ll do it again.”
“No, I don’t mind! Of course not!”
She seemed shy, but I wondered if she was okay with me holding her like a princess. Or was she just being considerate of me?
“You look a little red, are you okay?”
“Well, ……, that’s ……”
“I guess Amamiya’s bed is better than the infirmary bed.”
In times like these, the best thing to do is stay home and sleep all day. Even if you feel better temporarily, there’s a chance that the symptoms will suddenly come back.
“……that much …… about me, Hatoyama kun?”
Well, if someone is that red in the face, anyone would be worried. This is a human being with blood in her veins, you know? Even if you don’t like someone, unless you have a grudge against him or her, I hope he or she will be saved.
“Of course. If I saw your face, I’d …… be worried.”
“L-look at my face ……? Oh, really?”
“Yeah. I’d take you to bed right now if I could.”
“Awawawawa …….”
Not only was she blushing, but she was also starting to panic, so shouldn’t I really call an ambulance? In any case, it’s certain that she’ll have to leave early, right?
“Amamiya san, are your parents here today?”
“……?! That’s …….”
“Yes”
It’s going to be tough to walk home, so I’m going to have to ask her family to give her a ride. Ah, but there’s a pattern where only the father has a driver’s license or something. Unless he has a special job, he’s probably at work right now.
“not here! They won’t be here till nighttime!”
…… I can’t stay at the school until that time, can I?
“Hmmm, I’ll ask my parents to send a car”
“C-car ……?!”
“Don’t be shy, okay? My parents don’t care about that kind of thing.”
She just spends her day lazing around watching variety shows, so it’s fine if I call her out. In fact, abandoning a girl from my class would be a much bigger cause for scolding.
“Well, the car is indeed …… and in front of mother-in-law …….”
“Ha ha ha, I think you’re more than welcome, don’t you? She’s always saying she wants a pretty daughter.”
“D-daughter!?”
Amamiya-san’s voice and reactions are loud all the time today. Is she feeling too sick and emotionally unstable?
“If she wants a daughter-in-law, does that mean she also wants a …… granddaughter?”
“Eh? Ah, isn’t that so? I haven’t really thought about it yet, but maybe I should hurry up and get married to show my gratitude to my parents.”
“M-Marriage?…… already?”
Is it really that surprising? Girls read magazines about marriage in the classroom, don’t they think about it a lot more than guys?
“I’m not in a rush to get married. I intend to love one woman until the end, so I’m not going to get married lightly.”
It would be foolish to get married without thinking about it and then get divorced. Well, I’ve had sexual intercourse in the mood, so I can’t say too much about it.
“That’s …… that …… that’s what you mean, right ……?”
She came to me for confirmation, fidgeting. I’ve been thinking about it for a while now, but I’ve heard a lot of “That’s what this is about, isn’t it?” Since we’re able to communicate without any problems, I just say yes without thinking, but I’m afraid that we might start to have misunderstandings soon.
“Yeah, that’s what I mean.”
“I’m glad you’re serious ……”
Glad ……? Amamiya is ……? Um, what do you mean? You mean you’re happy because I’m a sincere guy? Ah, I’d be kind of happy if my friend was a real good guy.
“I’m glad to hear you say that.”
“……, be happy, okay?”
She’s really stepping into people’s lives, isn’t she? I’m sure my wife would be happy even if you didn’t tell her. To be honest, it’s none of my business, but I guess it’s part of growing up. I can’t believe that the shy Amamiya-san has come to be able to support others head-on.
“Yes, you too, Amamiya.”
“Of course. Leave it to me.”
Amamiya-san lightly taps her chest and gives a reassuring reply, but why don’t you first get better? If someone who is completely injured tells me to “leave it to them”, it only makes me feel uneasy.
“Hahaha, you have to go home first. Should I tell the teacher you are leaving early?”
“Are you sure? you have a test coming up… sorry.”
……? Oh, is that the process of leaving early? I’m planning to throw it to my parents, but I’m supposed to tag along? I don’t mind, but will the school approve?
“Um, should I go with you?”
“Eh? Because if you don’t come, I can’t …… ……?”
What ……? Oh, you mean navigating? It’s certainly an awkward conversation with a friend’s parents, isn’t it?
“I’ll just give her the address and she’ll send you the rest on her own. It’s got a navigation system.”
“…..?”
“I know it’s awkward being alone with my mom, but don’t worry, she won’t talk to a girl who’s sick.”
“……?”
I’m getting the vibe that you’re not getting any of this. I don’t know if my Japanese is that bad. Oh, I feel like she’s got a full-blown fever? Is her head not working?
“Umm Hatoyama kun? We are going to …… that …… in the car, right?”
“Huh? What?”
“……? Well, instead of the …… infirmary, you’re going to in my bed in my room.”
“Eh? Yeah, I thought home care would be best.”
“Eh? What? eh? Wait? We’re not going to do it…..”
What should I do? This conversation doesn’t seem to mesh well at all. It’s not that she didn’t understand what I was saying, but rather that she misunderstood something from the beginning, but what exactly did she misunderstand?
“B-because earlier you mentioned parents …… oh, that kind……”
It seems she realized she had made a mistake. I’m very curious as to what thought process led her to clear up the misunderstanding, and what kind of mistake she had in the first place, but I don’t have time to go on about it here, so I’ll leave it at that.
“So you’re leaving early then? I’ll call mother.”
“…………….”
She doesn’t want to leave too early, so she places her hand on her chin and hesitates. No, more like she’s … pondering? For some reason, it feels like she’s simulating something in her head.
“Yes, please, can I ask you to do that? I don’t think I can walk home.”
After all, her silence earlier was thoughtful. Because, rather than a decision, she looked as if she had come to a decision. I don’t know what’s really going on, but it’s just a vibe I’m getting.
“Should I tell her not to talk too much? It’s awkward.”
“No, don’t worry about it. I’d really like to talk to mother (In law)”
“Oh, really? I’ll call her.”
I thought she was afraid of talking to adults, but I guess my fears were unfounded. I don’t know what you want to talk about with a middle-aged woman you’ve never met before, but it’s a good way to improve your communication skills.
Why am I feeling insecure……? I feel like I’ve done something I can’t take back, but I’m sure it’s just another unwarranted fear, right? My hands are shaking as I operate my phone, do I have a cold too? Haha …….
By the way, my mom readily agreed and the teacher gave her permission for me to leave early. I’m wondering why they both looked so happy when I introduced Amamiya to her, but I’ll just go through with it …..the world of women is forbidden to boys.
