When i got inside, it's empty, the bed is in the right side and the left is a brown couch next to bathroom, in the middle there are small drawers and in the center, it's a huge space.
"Did you clean?" I asked her
"Yes."
"So, is your sister in rehabilitating test?"
"She is."
And then, a sound of wheelchair behind is getting closer...
After that, two person appeared behind the door
"Miru!" A girl with good figures is smiling so brightly.
"Sis." She sighed and approached.
"She's slowly having an improvement to walk but she still wants you to be with her." A nurse with worries in her face talked to Miru.
"It's okay, thank you for the hard work."
"Un." The nurse bowed politely before leaving.
"Miru, how are you?" Her sister ask
"I'm okay, are you troubled sis?"
"Ah, no no... It's just i'm anxious at test... It feels like it's so tall that i might hurt my head if i fall down, and it's also lonely here."
"I'm sorry.... Mom and dad can't accompany you." A solemn face appeared on Miru's face.
"It's okay my dear sister, am i troubling your study?"
"N... No, not really."
"It looks like you are." She smiled as if she knows she's lying
"No, i'm not.... Right?" She asked me with narrow in her eyes.
"Yes." I only nod with eyes closed.
"Oh, is this your friend Miru?!"
"Yes i am, nice to meet you, i am Reika Heisir."
"Hello! I am Miru's older sister, Mizuka, it's the first time she brought a friend here."
"Haha, i'm honored, stay strong, you can overcome your fear." I smiled so brightly to compete with her nonchalant bright attitude.
"Un, thank you."
"I'm sorry i didn't bought some gifts, so i next time, i will bought more."
"Ie, thank you, but there is no need, it's embarrassing."
"It's okay, Miru helped me a lot of things in school so i want to repay her at least."
"What a good kid." She smiled to me with relief
"Ahem, sis, it's time to take a bath." Miru interrupted us
"Ah, yes but i can do it myself."
"I heard that you're not letting the nurse assist you, and since i'm here, i might as well help you."
"Geez, fine, Reika-kun, you stay here okay?" She winked teasingly.
I just smiled with relief.
"Okay, i will."
When i looked at Miru, she's glaring at me with full of hostility.
"On a second thought, why don't i cook a meal for all of us?" I said with recommendation
"Oh you know how to cook? Great! I already miss cooking." There's a faint of sadness in her eyes while Miru's eyes are the same.
"Un, while you're taking a bath, i will cook for now."
Miru moved her sister's wheelchair to give me way.
I'm curious, about her losing memories...
But for now, let's just serve her a good meal.
I asked someone in restaurant to cook a meal for 3, while i ask Neru about the history about Mizuki's accident, i will open that information once someone confess me the truth.
After receiving my order, i returned to the room.
Mizuki is now lying down the bed, while Miru is sitting beside her.
"I've bought a meal for us."
"Is that from fastf- nevermind... Are you sure it's not a bad food." She narrowed her eyes with full of suspicion
"No need to worry, it's a seafood we've got from our collaborator, it's a sour shrimp soup, fresh from the sea and as fresh as the two of you." I smiled so brightly.
"Haha, Reika-kun is a great entertainer." Her pure giggle is really comforting
"Thank you for the compliment, but let's eat first, it's already eleven."
"Yeah, let's dig in!"
Miru remained silent.
I served it with tray and put the bowl of soup enough for 3 servings, rice and some fresh fruit drinks.
"Itadakimasu."
We ate the foods together and base on their reactions, they are enjoying it, Miru keeping her tough act but she can't hide it more professionally in front of her sister.
"Wow Reika-kun, what restaurant it is? It's even more better than what Miru do!"
"Pfft." I chuckled a bit.
But Miru glared at me once again with hostility.
"Ahem, it's tasty indeed but let's keep the compliment later, it might offend someone."
"Haha, i see, hehehehe." She deliberately said it to tease her little sister.
After finishing the food, she felt so cozy
"Ahhh, that was amazing, i felt like my body is energize because of how sour it is! The shrimp are sweet, so fresh... Th- the fruit too! That was amazing Reika-kun!"
She's really enthusiastic, she's not so active yet her calm demeanor like Miru is there.
She's a comforting sister I'd like to have.
Black long hair, and she's not so tall, i'm taller 2 inches, her body is as attractive as Miru despite hiding it in that patient clothing, but not as fit as Miru.
"I'm glad you like it, if there's a chance you recover, i'm hoping you visit ou-"
"You're shameless, you're advertising your restaurant everywhere." Miru narrowed her eyes
"It's necessary and business strategy, you need to understand Miru."
"The two of you get along huh." Mizuki smiled so warmly.
"I just got dragged out by him." Mizuki is peeling a apple she might bought when i'm away.
I smiled with a sigh while Mizuki is just giggling.
It's really a comforting atmosphere.
Something i've longed to experience once again after coming to this world.
Of course, i have been comforted but something like comforting atmosphere when friends are in trouble, it's been a while.
Although there might be a times i experienced it before, but it must be because i already buried it together with them.
"Here's your apple."
"Thank you little sister~" She joyfully bite the sliced apple.
They tackle several topics, about school, then her judo and jiujitsu, cooking until to body measurements, Miru tried to avoid it but her sister is teasing her, when she saw my unchanging face, she also got confused and look at Miru.
"You're going to get used to it." She said with sigh
It's also the first time i've saw such many emotions of Miru.
Her embarrassment i've never saw even when she got stucked on cabinet, her fatigue in dealing her teasing sister and also her relief and happiness to spend time with her.
"Thank you for visiting me Miru, you can go now, you're going to visit me tomorrow anyway."
"No, i will stay here until sister Isha came here."
"Haa, so you're going to skip your classes? That's no good for student president."
"It's okay, they can understand."
"Isn't that selfish my dear sister?"
She's not smiling brightly but she has still that warm and calm demeanor.
"... You'll be lonely." It's a weak vulnerable voice came from Miru
It might not be the first time i've saw a glint of sadness in her face, but the way she said it in low voice....
This is the fragile side of Miru Aragi.
"Ha.... I knew it, but you know, your sister will be fine, i only call you here because i'm anxious and scared of the test later, but because you're here, i'm not anxious or scared anymore, it's not because i'm lonely, but you shouldn't leave your duty just because of your selfish reason, i can take care of myself, and i hope you can take care of the people that trust you."
She pat her head, Miru looks like she wants to say something but she can't, is it because it's not wise or is it something trivial to her state right now.
But it is really well said, what a great sister.
Miru's sadness slowly fades when she breathe deeply and then return to her usual attitude.
"Fine... Take care."
"Un! Reika-kun, please help Miru, she can't be too honest with others so she's having a hard time to have good impression." She said it in a whispering voice.
"I can hear it." Miru crossed arms.
"Hehe, good bye, i hope you visit me again Reika-kun, it's a first time i've saw her friend and i'm curious about her, and you."
"No worries, i can visit you tomorrow and give you another kinds of foods and also recipe to study, i'm hoping to cook with you after you recover." I politely said
Later on when Miru fixed the room for last time.
We bid a farewell, Mizuki's face is something that contains nothing but relief, but Miru is full of regrets.
.....
We are on the bus once again.
And once again, it's all silent.
But this time, i want to say something.
"It's the first time."
It has 2 second delay before she respond.
"What."
"It's the first rime i've saw more of your emotions, i'm glad that you're not just a blockhead of ice."
"So what."
"Nothing, it's just i'm thankful you still have someone to show your true self."
"...."
"Ha, nothing, just consider it as compliment."
She wants to say something but there's a doubt and distrust in her eyes.
"Come on, don't be look so hesitant in front of me, if you don't trust me then that's okay, it might be because of your history but don't pain yourself, i can see the doubt and distrust in your eyes, so it's either you tell me or you don't tell me."
Another silence occured before being broken by something i don't know if i want to hear.
"It's because of what happened to her, i became like this."
