Holding Kotori silently for a while, Katsu asked softly, "Does your head still hurt?"
Kotori looked up at Katsu with a concerned expression, and then nodded lightly: "A little..."
"I want to call is the doctor here?" The concern on Katsu's face became even more serious.
"No need, just sleep for a while." Kotori shook her head and said.
Seeing this, he didn't say much anymore and directly hugged Kotori from under his armpits, and amidst her exclamation, he directly stopped at the crook of her legs and carried her onto the bed. He casually took off the slippers on her little feet, and finally covered her with the quilt under Kotori's blushing gaze.
"Okay -- go to bed obediently, remember to call me if you need anything." After finishing speaking, Katsu blinked his left eye at Kotori and then rolled himself off the bed.
Putting on the medical slippers, Katsu helped Kotori make the quilt tighter, and then turned and left the ward.
As for Kotori, who was left alone, the rosy glow on her face had not dissipated, and the special fragrance of Katsu left in the quilt made her more awake than ever.
Walking out of the room, Katsu leaned against the wall beside him, raised his head looking at the ceiling, he couldn't help but sigh for a long while: "Hey... tell me, what's going on with Kotori? Shidou." With his own Haki naturally, he can sense Shidou even if he is a mile away.
As soon as the words fell, Katsu heard the sound of footsteps coming from the corner of the corridor on the other side. Then, a figure appeared, followed by a familiar voice, with a low tone: "Katsu, you..."
"Don't ask me how I know, I know too many things that you yourselves can't understand, I just need to know her condition." Katsu interrupted Shidou's words and looked straight at Shidou.
This made Shidou couldn't help but sigh slightly: "As expected, I can't hide anything from you."
Then, Shidou told Katsu exactly what Reine told him in a sad tone.
After listening to Shidou's narration, Katsu held up his hand, pinched his chin, showed a thoughtful face, and then think to himself { I wonder if I can already seal her}. With how much interaction the two have is normal for the two to develop some type of feeling for each other.
When he checks the affection for Kotori has already reached eight hearts this level should be at the level when Tohka and Shidou kiss in the original timeline so he should already meet the condition needed to seal Kotori.
Katsu couldn't help but he looked up at Shidou, and finally, the corner of his mouth twitched and said, "Well... Shidou, I have a way to save Kotori..."
"Huh?" Shidou first looked at Katsu in a little confusion, and then realized what he said just now, and then exclaimed: "Really!?"
Nodding his head slightly, Katsu let out a sigh of relief: "Anyway, don't worry, for Kotori, I see her as my own sister. I won't put her in danger."
"Ah, I still agree with this point...Since you said that, Katsu, it's really great."
Ending the conversation with Shidou, Katsu stretched his waist and then turned around to go to the ward.
Back in the white room, Katsu walked to the bed, but when he saw that Kotori was just lying under the quilt, her long eyelashes fluttered.
The corner of Katsu's eyes twitched suddenly, and he no longer kept the gentle movements just now in order not to disturb Kotori's sleep, and directly opened his mouth and said quietly: "Kotori---"
"Yeah - yes!!" Kotori, who was startled by the sudden voice, turned around in a hurry, saw that it was Katsu, and was obviously relieved: "What, Brother Katsu, you scared me!" Kotori muttered in dissatisfaction.
"Tsk... Didn't I tell you to sleep well?" Katsu ignored Kotori's yelling and stared into her eyes expressionlessly.
"Ah... this..." All of a sudden, Kotori died down, could she say that because of the scent of trees in the quilt, she was so shy that she couldn't fall asleep? Absolutely not! ! She would be laughed to death!!
Looking at Kotori who was stammering, intermittently, and muttering, Katsu felt a little funny again, then shook his head with a broken smile, walked forward, pinched Kotori's little face on the pillow, and said with a light smile "You -- but since you haven't fallen asleep, I just need your help with something."
"Huh? Do you need my help?" Kotori blinked suspiciously, but immediately nodded and said, "Okay, If I can do it."
"Ah." Katsu opened his mouth, a little hesitant, but looking at Kotori's pale face, he couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Can you please sit up first?" ?" Katsu whispered.
"Huh?" Although Kotori was puzzled, she did as Katsu said. She sat up with her hands on the white sheet.
Seeing this, Katsu nodded, took a deep breath, and sat beside Kotori, and the actions he followed immediately made her face turn rosy.
--- Katsu put his arm around Kotori's shoulder, and the other hand stroked the hair on the back of her head. Their faces were very close...
"Brother Katsu...this is?"
"Kotori, the next thing, please forgive me, although this kind of thing is usually after a date... But now I don't have so much time, if it's a date, I will accompany you as many times as you want, so--- "
"Brother Katsu...uh---" her pupils dilated suddenly at this moment, and the tactile sensation of the blocked lips made Kotori's cheeks redder than a ripe red apple at this moment. If she checked the thermometer, she could hardly doubt that her body temperature was definitely a high fever.
At this moment, Kotori's brain was blank, but under such physical and mental stimulation, for no reason, such a picture appeared in Kotori's brain:
Everything around her was burning, and violent explosions rang out around her, a little red-haired girl in feather-like clothes slumped on the ground, crying loudly.
That's me... Kotori clearly understood, and then she saw a blue-haired boy lying on the ground, who seemed to be seriously injured, that was Shidou --- her brother, whom she also clearly knew.
But the next moment, an extremely familiar figure flew over from the sky at high speed, with indescribable anxiety on his face.
He fell in front of her, it was a figure with golden hair, his eyes were beautiful yellow eyes, Kotori tried to see his face clearly, but the picture became more and more blurred, even she couldn't hear what the voice is saying, she only knew that the familiar figure that brought her an infinite sense of security seemed to be talking to herself. In the end, he hugged her and kissed her lips, just like... now? Kotori remembered the name of that figure, his name is... Katsu.
I don't know how long it took, but when Katsu's lips left Kotori's fiery lips, Kotori still remained in the original posture in a daze, only the red cheeks, and the steamy eyes, All showing the huge changes in her state of mind at this moment and before.
