Yoshimura was contemplating how to repay these people's kindness?
He felt embarassed because he had never been like this.
As soon as the owner's wife got up from her seat...
Yoshimura has a brilliant idea!
'How about I help them work in the tavern?'
'Is that acceptable in return for their kindness to me?'
________
"Oh, wait!" Yoshimura shouted at the landlord's wife who was about to leave him from the hospital.
"Uh, yeah, what?" asked the woman with an astonished expression, and why was it that just as she was about to leave… Yoshimura would say something important?
"A-ano, to repay your kindness… if I'm cured and out of this hospital, allow me to work at your tavern." Yoshimura said firmly.
"Eh!?" of course the woman was surprised by Yoshimura's request that looked earnest, "But right-"
Before he could comment, Yoshimura immediately cut him off, "Yeah, at least work part time. Not getting paid doesn't matter because I want to repay your kindness. Sorry if I'm bothering you too much, at least I want to help serve something at your tavern." It was clearly Yoshimura who said seriously while lowering his head, "I beg you!"
He really really wanted to do that.
"...." While the wife of the owner of this rental did not answer, she just stood still without being able to reveal a definite answer. Even though she understood Yoshimura's intention to repay her kindness but, it was this woman who actually felt a bit uneasy when her kindness was returned by others in this way.
"You… must have spent a lot of money to pay for this hospital fee, at least I can pay it with my money. And I want to repay the good you have done with my actions, at least I can pay off my debt of gratitude." Yoshimura said it firmly and seriously.
However, as soon as the owner's wife was about to answer, the door suddenly opened.
"...." It suddenly made them both shocked, and they couldn't help but move. Because the person who opened the door could hear this conversation. Yoshimura's cheeks were a little red with embarrassment after saying that, then he who was still lowering his head immediately turned his gaze away.
"Excuse me, I would like to provide IV supplies and food for the patient." Apparently the one who came was the nurse with an innocent face.
'Damn, this talk is really over.' Inwardly Yoshimura regretted it.
....
"Alright Yoshimura, I'll go first! Jya~" said the landlord's wife with a gentle smile and waved her hand at Yoshimura, she also maintained that gentle smile to smile at the nurse who was willing to take care of this strange boy.
A few minutes later, after changing the IV with a new one and also giving food to Yoshimura, the nurse left again.
Yoshimura was alone in this room.
He thought that the wife of the landlord would come back here tomorrow, so she would continue the conversation the next day.
For now after his dinner at the hospital, he slept for a while.
The more thoughts, the more dizzy he gets from stress, and why should he have a head injury, anyway? What's more before going to bed, he grumbles boredom and why is the hospital food tasteless!?
He who is bored and tired tries to sleep....
However, a noise like this afternoon... began to haunt Yoshimura's sleep.
"...!?" he who was almost fast asleep became disturbed by the sound just now.
In Yoshimura's heart before trying to open his eyes said, "That...?"
'It's the same sound as this afternoon, is there a ghost in this room?'
'This is a VIP room that was originally empty and the aura here doesn't look dark, I still feel the warmth of the light, there can't be a ghost here!?' Yoshimura believed his heart.
'Is it because I am a foreigner? Or is it because I am....'
Before the voice disappeared, finally Yoshimura tried to open his eyes, he wanted to make sure for himself, who is making noise in this room? Because that voice bothered Yoshimura a lot.
Are there rats running around?
Or snakes or other reptiles?
If he didn't open his eyes, he wouldn't know.
I see, he tried to open his eyes from his sleep....
And turned towards this empty looking room with this rustling sound, what he finally found was….
A sweet yet cute girl with dark brown hair and red eyes is in this room.
Of course Yoshimura won't forget that figure!
"That's right!?" he muttered to himself.
And as soon as she was about to wake up while reaching out her hand to grab it, the girl turned around in an embarrassed manner.
"Ano-!!" ... he's unattainable!
"Ah!" she turned to sigh in an embarrassed tone and her hands covered her blushing face, she even backed away from Yoshimura's sight then bent down at a right angle.
Yoshimura wondered in wonder from the depths of his heart that he tilted his head to think, 'What is he doing here? Could it be that he's been here since this afternoon? However, I was not aware of its existence. Why am I not this sensitive?'
Yoshimura lowered his outstretched hand, he was fixated on the gaze of the girl he had been looking for, he opened his mouth slightly and was about to say various things.
Apparently he was skipping school all this time, he was hiding in this room.
So nervously he bent down, he said something in a cute tone, his voice was the same as the voice that shouted 'Help' from a distance back then, really him! Kisaki.
"A-ano!! Thank you for saving me." He said it earnestly despite being awkward, he just as he straightened his body from that bowing, his face slightly teary. However, he didn't want to show his bad face to Yoshimura.
Yoshimura didn't move, even though he didn't want to let this girl go just like that but he wanted to keep his feelings from asking questions.
He hastily stepped away from Yoshimura, and he said one more thing, "I just wanted to thank you!" he cried with a pent up feeling in his heart, with so much force he opened the door of the room, he did not give the boy a chance to ask himself one bit , "I'm leaving, bye!" in a low voice he bid farewell.
'Could it be that he sneaked into this room?
' That girl's name is Kisaki, if only I could call her name.... '
'He just came to say thank you, why is he so reckless?'
______ __
' Kisaki ....'
'That girl's name....'
And, his existence was something Yoshimura was not aware of.
Will there be a continuation of this meeting?
*To be Continued!
