The number of patients gradually decreased after Aiko delivered the drug to Hagi. Aiko rode her bike to the house where she didn't give her medicine. It was 7 o'clock in the evening when she finished handing over everything.
"I've returned. I've administered medication to all of the patients."
When Aiko opened the door, the doctor who had emerged from the back room removed his lab coat.
"Aiko, welcome back. I just got done cleaning. Mrs Yoshi has promised to prepare something delicious to reward us for our efforts." He said it with a smile, but his face was blue.
"Doctor., you appear pale..."
"Oh, I'm starting to feel ill. I don't need a lot of food. Sorry, I'm not sure if I should just have the soup."
Mr. Yoshi and the lady sought a large number of them during their dinner together.
"Thank you very much, Dr. Yamanashi and Aiko. What would have happened if you hadn't been there? Please stay the night if you wish. Don't say anything, but resting is preferable to driving on a mountain road when tired."
"That's correct. Then, Aiko, let us be patient with your words. If I have an emergency, I'll see you tomorrow, but otherwise, I'll be back home."
"Thank you so much, both of you. The nearest city is two hours away from this town. I realized that the lack of a doctor would result in a dire situation. Let's have a conversation in the room."
"Please"
A room with two beds was assigned as the assigned bedroom. Mrs. Yoshi apologized for directing them.
"If I had known there would be customers, I would have cleaned it up a little more..."
"Thank you for making it more sufficient. To be honest, I want to lie down right now." According to the doctor
The two drove to the Town the next morning after seeing only one emergency. The doctor said very little while driving. She was concerned, but Aiko lacked a driver's license. She could only remain silent in the passenger seat for the time being. Aiko was relieved to discover the old Beach house in town. The doctor collapsed into the bed upon entering the room.
"It had finally arrived. I'll lie down, Aiko. I can't take it any longer."
The doctor was sick with a cold. He dozed off and didn't wake up until late at night. Aiko visited the doctor several times. Looking into his bed and seeing him with a red face was excruciating. Before going to bed, Aiko got out of the bath and went to the next room to see what the doctor was up to. It happened just as she was about to approach the doctor's bed.
"Hmm... Is anyone here?" Aiko was taken aback when the doctor abruptly raised her voice.
"Doctor, my name is Aiko. Can you stand up? Please take your medication. Should I bring something to eat?"
"No, I don't need it just yet. It's about a doctor's health. Instead, I'd like to relax by taking a bath. I'm perspiring profusely..."
He stepped out of bed as Aiko rushed to bed. As it was, she proceeded to the room's bathroom. When Aiko went to see him, he was crouching in the bathroom because it was so late.
"Doctor... Do you have a fever? It is preferable not to push it. It is risky to be injured."
"Yeah, sorry... I'm going back to bed."
Aiko walked to bed, his shoulders resting on the fluttering doctor's. The doctor was unusually heavy and far away from the bed. Aiko had the idea after giving him water and medicine and staring at him for a while.

"Yeah ... It feels so good. Thank you, Aiko." The smiling doctor was sick. Seeing him like that, Aiko felt pain in her chest. I almost cried, but in the brightest possible voice, Aiko said.
"Doctor., let's get better soon ..."
After wiping everything except his underwear and Aiko taking a break, he fell asleep again. Aiko was relieved that it was comfortable. It was the time when she hung the towel in the bathroom, she took a washbasin, and finally turned her back to look into the doctor's face and go home. His hot hands grabbed Aiko's wrist tightly.
"Please do not go." Aiko quickly turned to face the doctor. She threw the basin to the floor and placed her hand on the doctor's.
"Doctor. Have you gotten up? It's all right. "I thought you'd fallen asleep, so I went home."
"I had a terrifying dream a while ago. It was only in my dreams that you looked down on me and left."
Because of the heat, the doctor's eyes were bright red. Aiko was also experiencing chest pain. Come up with words to cheer you up right away.
"Doctor... " It's not my fault. "I think you're a wonderful person."
"...Are you serious?" The doctor inquires if they are still holding hands. The doctor's eyes shook, as if he were a small child relying on his mother.
"Yes, so don't be concerned."
He relieved his expression once more by tightly squeezing his hands with his overlapping hands.
"Thank you very much..."
As it was, he took a breath and fell back asleep. Aiko was about to cry when she saw her unprotected sleeping face.
"I'm glad to help him, but seeing him weakened makes me sad. Get well soon, doctor..."
The next day was bright and sunny. Aiko stayed with him until late at night, but then went back to her room in case she caught a cold. The doctor was sitting on the sofa in Aiko's room when she awoke.
"Aiko, good morning. It's nearly noon."
"Doctor... Are you all right?"
"Yes, it's fine. I was concerned. I just got out of the bath. Thank you for looking after me. I'm perfectly fine as a result of that."
"Really? Have you got a fever?" Aiko then placed her hand on the doctor's brow. The forehead was no longer as hot as it had been the night before.
"I'm glad...you were so frail that I didn't know what to do."
"I was forced to work a little before coming here, so I think I got tired. The cold in Hagi was excruciating. So that's why I caught a cold."
Aiko was stroking his chest when the doctor, who was sitting on the sofa, told him to stand.
"May I touch you, Aiko?"
"Doctor, what happened?"
"While I was sick with a cold, I thought about it. I believe you are afraid of me because you hurt you the other day..."
Aiko burst out laughing, looking like a puppy being reprimanded by the doctor, who looked down.
"That doctor isn't like that. I'll be out of tune if you don't force me to be more open." He looked up when Aiko smiled. His eyes glowed brightly.
"...okay?"
"Yes"
"Thank you, Aiko; I like you..."
He wrapped his hand around Aiko's waist with great effort. As it hugged Aiko standing, it was like a small child's gesture. He immediately stood up and snatched Aiko's lips.
"So, what should I do? When I recovered, I resolved to do something heinous to Aiko."
Aiko fits snugly in the doctor's arms, surrounded by both hands. Aiko took a quick breath after removing her lips.
"It's lunchtime now..." she smiles and kisses his cheek, "See you at the table."
As she walked away, the doctor signed and smiled. "It's going to get dark soon. I wish I could have had some fun with you."
