"Teacher Kato, are you having a fever? You do not look right," Teacher Ayase shifted her attention to Himari with concern written in between her brows, "It is because of what happened yesterday? The canal water must be cold."
"I'm okay. It's nothing," Himari brushed her off with a smile. She threw the tissue inside a small dustbin under her table, "I'd be fine after taking medicine."
"Do you think so? I think you should take a sick leave," Teacher Ayase was still worried even though Himari tried to lighten her own situation.
"I'm okay, really. Ah, don't you have any class?" Himari quickly changed the topic.
