"I noticed... the situation, teacher... you... your side..."

"Ah, I understand what you mean, but you should stop talking. I think it's very hard for you to breathe like this..."

From this few words, Yong Ye can almost guess what Shokuhou Cao Qi wants to say. It's just because he noticed that there is a situation here, so he came over this night, but... This child's reflex arc is too long, right? It must have been an hour ago...

"Anyway, take a deep breath first to calm down."

"breath...breath...breath...breath..."

After quite listening to Yong Ye's words, Shokuhou pressed his chest and took deep breaths, intending to calm his breathing.

But at this moment, a dazzling thunder light fell from the sky not far away, which made Shokuhou startled and almost breathless, and then...

---Boom?

After the lightning flashed, the thunder, which was a bit slower, rumbled, causing the girl in front of Yongye to accidentally drop the cell phone used for lighting. She screamed and rushed towards Yongye, wrapping her arms around him.

Compared to Qi's gentleness, Shokuhou was completely frightened, and instinctively looked for something to rely on, so she held it so hard that the wounds on Yongye's body were squeezed by her.

But... Fortunately, Shokuhou has developed so well, her chest is quite weak, and even hitting someone with a ball is not very painful, it is in a tolerable range, and her physical fitness is too poor, even if she hugs it hard, it is also in the same position. within the acceptable range.

But even if he could accept it, the wounds on his body were unbearable. He had been prayed that the emergency treatment seemed to be handled improperly, and now it's here again... Naturally, blood was slowly overflowing from his body.

The trees swaying around in the wind and rain make people feel like twisted evil spirits are shaking their bodies. In the middle of the night with heavy wind and rain, it exudes a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

"...You, are you afraid of thunder? Or... afraid of the dark?"

Yong Ye tentatively asked. Shokuhou, who dared not open his eyes, bit his pale pink lips, and nodded vigorously while holding Yong Ye in the darkness. Everything on the aisle made her feel as if she had entered. In the scene of the ghost story, it was really unbearable, and I forgot my shame and just closed my eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I'm right here, darling~"

Not knowing what to say about her, Yong Ye could only sigh and touch her hair to comfort the frightened little beast-like girl.

Yong Ye is very aware that humans are born with a sense of fear of the dark, so I don't have any complaints about Shokuhou's behavior. After all, girls are mostly like this, and even the boyish girl Misaka Mikoto will be against the little girl. Animals such as worms, snakes, and mice are afraid.

Yong Ye, who just wanted to get some medicine, was delayed on the way, aggravating his injuries... But although he was bleeding, he wouldn't die if he lost too much blood, so he didn't care about such small things. matter.

After about ten minutes.

Yong Ye, who was still able to move forward in the dark, held the hand of the blond girl who had calmed down a lot and went to the infirmary of the gym.

Along the way, Shokuhou Caoqi felt that Yongye's hand was a little wet when he was holding her. At first, she thought that her nervous palm was sweating, so she made her gloves completely wet.

After all, the act of holding hands made her feel like a deer was beating wildly in her heart, and her heart was beating violently with a "thump" and "thump", making her mistakenly think it would burst.

The roar of the heart was so intense that it even made her feel that if she didn't hold her chest tightly, her heart would jump out of her chest, so she was very worried about what Yong Ye would do when she found herself so nervous.

Ah, of course, she also regretted why she didn't take off her gloves, and finally succeeded in holding hands, and although this environment and atmosphere were gloomy, after all, it was a man and a woman living together, which really magnified a lot of peach color. That's why her heart can't stop the deer bumping around. Is this the so-called suspension bridge effect? She couldn't help but be so suspicious.

But... when she walked to the infirmary, she lowered her head and realized that it wasn't her own sweat. After all, she couldn't secrete that much sweat, it was blood from Yong Ye's right hand running down her arm... blood.

"Hey, hey! You, you are..."

The girl couldn't help covering her mouth and let out a suppressed exclamation.

"...It doesn't matter, don't be nervous. It's just the arm. It's just not convenient for me to be alone. Can you change the medicine for me if you can?"

Originally, Yong Ye didn't intend to bring Shokuhou, but... he really had no way to leave Shokuhou, because he felt that if he left her, the girl who had tears of fear in her eyes at that time might not be able to. Really cry to myself.

"It's not just an arm, is it?"

"How to say?"

"Your chest..."

Shokuhou pointed at Yong Ye's obviously wet chest, and said at a loss.

"Did I just hit it?"

"No, no, it's impossible. If it can hurt me at that level, I'll just stop living. It's just that I suffered some injuries before."

"But...it's because I did it again..."

"No, this wound was there before, but you touched it again."

"It's really my fault?"

"Uh... No, I mean... Forget it, in short, don't worry about these little things, just give me the medicine again..."

He wanted to correct the leak after saying it, but there was no good reason. In the end... Yong Ye chose to put the topic aside, let Shokuhou give himself medicine first, and took off his clothes in front of her.

"...I-I know..."

She blushed looking at Yong Ye's undressing, but Shokuhou Cao Qi felt regret and guilt when she saw the wound on Yong Ye's body, because she thought of what she had done after being frightened by the thunder... …

"Teacher, didn't you just get hurt a few days ago?"

Holding the potion and carefully applying medicine to the wound on Yong Ye's body, Shokuhou Caoqi unconsciously thought of what happened a few days ago.

"Well... maybe my luck is not so good."

"Is this... luck?"

"No, it may be that I am very lucky or not necessarily."

Thinking about it carefully, a hundred battles can't be said to be a hundred victories, but at least they all survived. In addition to the problem of physical fitness, this is also a manifestation of good luck, right? Although... if you are lucky, you should not be injured like this, but how lucky you are to not only survive a hundred battles, but also fight a hundred battles without being hurt in the face of a powerful enemy?

"What kind of luck is this? It's all good luck? Then there are no unlucky people in the world."

Shokuhou couldn't understand Yong Ye's thoughts, but she also had some truth in what she said. If you are lucky... it's not impossible without a fight, and if you die early, without everything that follows, you won't be able to. There is pain, and it is early to enter eternal sleep.

But it doesn't really make sense to think about these things. This kind of thing is like philosophy, which is often specious and ambiguous.

Hmm... Maybe such a statement will be said, "You don't understand philosophy!" But Yong Ye really doesn't understand philosophy either. At least in his opinion, the so-called philosophy is to complicate simple problems and expand small problems into long and vague discussions. If it is unclear, then others will not understand...

After thinking about the philosophy quietly, Yong Ye decided to abandon it again, and let Shokuhou Cao Qi put medicine on him... Then... when the medicine was good, he took her to the bathroom of his room...

There is no way, Shokuhou Caoqi's school uniform was stained with a lot of blood because of the relationship with him before. If it is just this, Shokuhou can bear it, but Yongye's **** hand was placed on hers. On her hair, her blonde hair was dyed red, and she looked a bit like a ghost if she didn't wash it, and it was difficult for her to accept it.

The collective bathroom originally used by the athletes in the gymnasium was divided into men and women, but even if Yong Ye stood at the door, she would not dare to take a shower in an open place on the night of lightning, thunder and wind and rain outside by herself. Only here in Eternal Night.

Yong Ye was sitting in the corner of the corner for the noisy, chattering child finally stopped and breathed a sigh of relief, but Shokuhou Cao Qi suddenly opened the bathroom door and stuck out his face, blushing.

"Don't peek! Or I'll call!"

After saying that, she disappeared in a flash.

Even if I call here, no one will show up, because this is my territory... Although I want to say so, Yong Ye wisely did not blurt out the correct remarks at this wrong time.
