Chapter 4 - Chapter 3

I encountered a collapsing girl

Alright then, what should I do...?

I fixed my gaze at the collapsing student girl. I never thought I'd happen to encounter a person losing his awareness like this. That's quite the valuable experience from a specific meaning.

Hmm, For now, I will try calling her. I'd feel guilty if I abandoned her here, anyway.

"Heey, You okay…?"

"..."

No response. Apparently she's just a corpse.

Or maybe that's not the case. I tried lifting up her body as I wondered if she was alive.

I laid her on her back.

Upon witnessing her face the only word I found to be appropriate to describe it was 'beautiful'.

A white skin, side tail brown hair, and despite her small build, her necessary charms are still clearly visible. Her looks were very attractive.

But what should I do? It's good that I placed her on her back, however, except the fact that she's attractive there's nothing else I know about her. Looking at her chest pocket, I saw a decoration flower. This means she's the same year as me.

"Wait, I can just appraise her!"

I finally realized such an obvious fact in this strange situation. Next time I need to make sure it doesn't take me long enough.

Thus, I appraised the girl in front of me.

Kamaishi Sayaka Age: 16 Female Race: human lv1 Anemia

Physical points: 200/200

Magic points: 100/100

Skills

Cooking- Cleaning- Sewing- Weak body

It seems she collapsed because of Anemia. Her name is Kamaishi Sayaka. Her level is normal, but this girl got some extreme housework skills.

Usually, it takes a few years to learn a skill, so this girl must be really good at house chores. As for the weak body skill, it's probably because of the anemia.

Apparently, she has a frail body. That must be the reason she fell senseless while casually walking.

Now that I know the reason, what should I do? I can't just leave her sleeping here, so let's carry her to the infirmary. Deciding what to do, I carried Kamaishi on my back.

I sensed a soft and tender feeling pressing against me… this was unavoidable. That's right, it can't be helped.

...… Let's take a detour.

Such a stupid idea crossed my mind for a moment, however, I directly brought her to the infirmary in the end. But It was still a nice experience.

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Arriving at the infirmary, I followed the nurse's instructions and put Kamaishi in a bed.

"It's clearly due to anemia."

Uttered the infirmary nurse while facing Kamaishi.

I know! I already read her status.

"We should leave her resting here. What are you going to do in the meantime? Currently, the entrance ceremony should be about to take place, but honestly, I don't really like attending it. It's too troublesome and all."

Hey, you're the school nurse, aren't you? Should you really be saying something like that?

Well, I kind of understand her feeling of not wanting to attend.

"In that case, can I wait for her here?"

"I don't mind."

She quickly allowed it. This person is too easygoing.

"Well then, I have some work to do now, so take care of the girl on my behalf. You don't need to attend the ceremony either."

"I understand."

"Okay, I'm leaving it for you."

Leaving behind those words, she exited the infirmary.

To be honest, I appreciate this situation. It's a pretty good way to skip the entrance ceremony.

But the boredom is still the same. I appreciate the official excuse for slacking off, but this boring.

"... I guess I'll sleep too."

I took a seat in a chair near the bed and held my knees with both of my arms to support my chin.

That's right, I need to activate that before sleeping.

"Exsleep"

Faint light and comfortable warmth covered my body. Whenever I used this skill I get to have a sound sleep.

I don't think I can sleep anymore without this function. Thinking about that, I quickly fell into a pleasant slumber.

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

"U… Uun… Where I'm I?…"

Before realizing it I was on top of a bed. I wonder what's this place. If I still remember correctly, I was taking a stroll inside the school since I arrived a bit early, and then my vision turned dizzy... Yeah! I collapsed!

But how did I end up on top of a bed? I inclined my head and turned to see my surroundings to find a boy sleeping while holding both of his knees.

A boy?!

What am I supposed to do? I'm bad at talking with boys...

When I tried to lightly drawback, I bumped into a desk near the bed and made a remarkable sound.

"Hmm...aah?"

The boy who was sleeping, slowly opened his eyes, made a long yawn and stretched his body.

Before long, he noticed me and our eyes met.

ーーーーーーーーーーーーー

I woke up to realized that the girl who was sleeping earlier was looking at me making a long stretch.

"Hm, so you woke up?"

"Um… yes, just now…"

"I see, how are you feeling?"

"I'm feeling okay…um… Why am I here?"

"I found you laying in the school ground so I carried you to the infirmary."

"Is that so… Um, Thank you very much."

"It's fine, it was just by pure chance that I found you, after all. Not to mention, thanks to you I was able to ditch the school ceremony."

"I-I see…"

Perhaps because she didn't grasp the situation yet, she gave me a confused answer. And it's probably my imagination that I feel like she's taking a distance from me the longer I talk to her.

"Ah, you woke up at the right time. The ceremony is about to end, you two should go back to your classrooms first."

The school nurse arrived at the perfect time and told us to head to our classrooms.

"I understand. Welp, shall we go? Can you stand?"

"Y-Yes. I'm fine."

Like that, she stood up from the bed and walked together with me.

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

"By the way, what's your class?"

"U-Um, I'm in Class two."

"I'm in class two as well. Let's get along from now on!"

"Y-Yes. Nice to meet you."

I walked together with Kamaishi to the classroom, but perhaps because she's not familiar with boys, I sensed a that she's putting both a mental and a physical distance between us.

"Hey…"

"W-what is it?"

Kamaishi over reacted to my words. This makes me surprisingly hurt.

"If you're not good at interacting with boys, I can go ahead, you know?"

"Eh!? I-It's fi-ine! You don't need to be that considerate! And I'd also feel kinda bad if you did…"

Exclaimed Kamaishi with a gradually fading voice. What with that attitude, she's unexpectedly nice.

"I guess, that would be better."

We then remained silently walking.

Kamaishi was occasionally taking quick glances at me, but she didn't show any sign of starting a conversation. This is pretty awkward.

"U-Um…"

Kamaishi suddenly halted her steps and addressed me.

"I am sorry for earlier. I have a weak body so I often fell like that you see."

Not sure if that was all she wanted to say, Kamaishi couldn't endure looking at my eyes for longer and cast her sight downwards. I wonder if that was why she was glancing at me a moment ago. She's seriously a good girl, ain't she?

"Don't worry about it. As I said earlier, it was by pure chance that I found you. You don't have to thank me in such a formal way, Kamaishi-san."

"B-But…wait? How did you know my name?"

Ooh crap! I let my tongue slip.

Kamaishi made a strange expression after hearing her name coming out from my mouth.

"Ah... I heard it from the infirmary nurse."

"Ah, I understand now."

She seemed to have accepted my false justification. That was close. Let's be more alert next time.

"Um, th-then you too, can you tell me what's your name?"

This time she asked me with an embarrassed expression. What's this?! She's so cute!

"I'm Kamiya Yato. Nice to meet you, Kamaishi-san."

"Right! Nice to meet you too! Kamiya-kun"

Like that, we headed to our classroom once again.

At that time, I felt as if both distances she was putting between us have narrowed a little bit.
