*Yuuki Kanade's POV"
//April 13, 2040//Friday//
"We are here!"
I opened the door, and we entered the clinic. Raku's condition is getting worse, and we need to treat his injuries immediately. The clinic is fully equipped with medicine, and equipment that we can use for medication. There is also a fridge here inside. Then that means.
"Please place Raku in the bed in a sitting position. Ichika, please make sure to lean his head forward slightly. Asahi, can you get me some Ice packs inside that fridge, please?"
"Alright, Kanade."
Asahi rushed to get some ice packs inside the fridge. As for me, I picked some clean washcloths, betadine, and some bandages that I found. I hustled to Raku quickly and cleaned all the blood in his face using a washcloth.
His face has some small cuts that are causing blood loss, and his nose is bleeding badly as well.
"Kanade, here is the Ice pack that you asked for." Asahi said.
"Please use those ice packs, and apply pressure to the bruised areas. Ichika, help Asahi with Raku's bruises."
"You got it. Hang in there, Raku."
I placed an ice pack on the bridge of Raku's nose while leaning his head forward slightly to stop the bleeding. After a while, Raku's bruises became smaller, and the bleeding on his nose stopped.
Now for the small cuts.
"Thanks for the help Asahi, and Ichika. I will handle the rest from here now."
I wiped some of the bleedings on Raku's small cuts and used a dry washcloth to dry the area. I applied some betadine to prevent infection later on and applied bandages on those cuts.
The treatment was a success, and I laid down Raku on the bed.
"Phew..."
This series of events made me tired from what happened at the cafeteria to treating Raku's wounds. My shaking won't stop because of my nerves from earlier.
Asking Ichi, the one who he calls himself God in this school is one huge step for me. I do not usually talk to people who are aggressive. Besides, being with these talented people is enough for me to be pressured all the time.
"You're amazing, Kanade." Asahi said.
"It is great that you can stay calm in that whole situation."
"Ummm… N-No, it's nothing… I guess thank you for helping me also."
People often praise me when it comes to this kind of thing, and it really is embarrassing.
I do not know how to reply to the praises these people were giving me. Should I say you're welcome? I feel like whatever the response I will say to them will make me kind of like an arrogant person.
"Kanade… No offense but your Rabbit Ears really suit you, you really look cute.
"E-eeeeeh?!... Ummmm… T-Thanks..."
I really get embarrassed easily, and the praise that Ichika told me made my face blush. A compliment coming from a fashion designer means that what she is saying about my appearance is true. Aaah… This is really embarrassing.
"Kanade, your face is red like a tomato." Asahi said.
"S-Sorry! Sorry!"
Both of them giggled at me because of how nervous I am.
I'm not really great at communicating with people but for some reason, Sasaki is the one who I think is the most approachable of them all.
She is very smart and can act calmly in dangerous situations. A while ago, I subconsciously held onto her when things got terrifying, but she was cool with me holding her, and she even tried calming me down.
She does really acts and looks like a big sister in my eyes.
"So, what are we going to do here inside? Wait for Raku to wake up?" Ichika asked.
"It's a waste of time to do nothing. Let us explore this place for a while. Kanade, do you think Raku will wake up soon?"
"Umm… Hopefully, he will be awake for maybe an hour."
"I guess that is enough time for us to explore the place. Let's go."
Asahi asked us to explore the place with him. For a clinic, the space here is really huge. This really is a great school except that a devil was in control of this place.
I went to the area where I got the betadine and looked at each of the medicines that they have since I do not have the time to look at every one of them since Raku needed treatment right away.
"Leukotriene modifiers, Anaphylaxis, Pregabalin, Aspirins."
These medicines are commonly found in most schools. I tried to look for other medicines that they can provide.
"Amlodipine, Metoprolol, Esomeprazole, Lisdexamfetamine, Simvastatin, Losartan."
There was a huge variety of medicines that this school could provide. From medication for hypertension to treating students with acid refluxes,
"Actimmune, Acthar, Ravicti, Myalept, Oxervate, Takhzyro."
Even the most expensive medicines are provided here. A school should not even have the money to provide these kinds of things. There might be a low chance to use it, but it might be handy in the future.
But what I found next is quite shocking.
"Methamphetamine, Marijuana, Heroin... Why are these inside here?…"
Even Illegal drugs are inside this clinic. I should try disposing of them as soon as possible.
I wrapped all of the illegal drugs inside a plastic bag and threw them in a trash can. I know that these things can be used by a person to kill someone without any guilt because of their side effects, but providing us with this made me angry a little bit.
A clinic is created for the purpose of treating others, and not for the purpose of killing other people.
I explored a little bit more, and also found surgical tools for surgery, they even have Defibrillators. With all the equipment that they have provided here, this looked like a miniature hospital.
"Huh? Are those…"
While exploring, I saw used washcloths that were covered in blood, maybe Hyakuzawa is the one who used it before coming to the cafeteria? But why is it covered with so much blood?
"*COUGH* *COUGH* Umm… Where am I?"
I went where Raku is, and saw him just waking up. Aaaah, I am glad that he gained consciousness.
Asahi and Ichika also went there after they heard Raku coughing out loud.
"I'm glad that you are okay, Raku." Asahi said.
"Yeah, I am fine alright."
"Hmph! You looked like you were about to die there earlier. You should not move too much. Kanade just treated you earlier." Ichika said.
Even if Ichika was a brazen person, she really cares about the others. Sigh... I am glad things went well.
"Really? Kanade treated me earlier? Well, thank you my knight in shining armor."
Raku held my hand, and I started to get embarrassed about it.
"I-Idiot!!!"
I subconsciously slapped Raku in the face so hard that I forgot he had bruises all over his face. I immediately apologized to him for what I did.
"I guess that is what you get for suddenly touching a girl's hands." Asahi said.
"Gross… You have not learned a thing when Sasaki keeps punching you for the insensitive things you keep saying to her, and now you even touched a shy girl's hands without permission."
"S-Sorry, Raku! I am really sorry."
I kept apologizing by bowing my head over, and over again.
This is so embarrassing, I treated his wounds earlier yet I slapped him in the face. I hope my slap does not kill him.
"It's fine, Kanade. No need to apologize. It's my fault anyway that I held your hand straight away."
"Hmph! At least you know your mistakes." Ichika said.
"Since Raku Nakamura is awake, can I start announcing something to you people?"
Ichi appeared behind us, and we were startled by his sudden appearance. Whenever Ichi was around I started shaking, and big sister Sasaki is not here to stand up to him.
What should we do?
