Chapter 105: Chapter 102 : You won’t die
I might have experienced being in poor health. Right now, my body feels incredibly sluggish, and it hurts as if someone is pulling on every part of me. When I measured my temperature with a thermometer, it was an alarming 39.3 degrees Celsius. It's so unbearably painful that I feel like I might die.
"Damn... this is intense..."
I lie on the bed, breathing heavily. I want to call for help, but my hands won't move as I struggle even to pick up my phone. Yet, something feels different, not like an ordinary fever. As I suffer, I start to feel dizzy, with headaches, coughing, and nausea creeping in.
"...Could this... be fatal? It's so... tough..."
Honestly, being alone in such a wide space in this condition is lonely. Suddenly, the doorbell rings in the room.
"Don't mess with me... I can't go out right now..."
However, it continues to ring persistently, so I manage to muster the strength to get up from the heavy weight on my body. Unsteadily, I make my way to the front door.
But the moment I stand up, my senses fail me, and I collapse to the floor. Almost reaching the door, I crawl towards it on the floor. At that moment, the door swings open with a loud click.
"You're so slow at opening the door, senpai. Could it be that you noticed and didn't open it... huh?"
Upon seeing me on the floor, Amasawa freezes. It's understandable—seeing a man lying on the floor looking so exhausted would naturally shock anyone.
"Senpai!?!? ...You're burning up! This fever, you can't just sleep through it!"
Though I don't have the energy to say she woke me up, Amasawa supports me and helps me to the bed. Surprisingly, she's quite strong. Truly a White Room student, she's capable.
"I'm sorry, senpai... I didn't realize it was this serious..."
"Don't worry about it... it's tough..."
"Senpai, is there anything you need? Something you want me to get?"
Worried and anxious, Amasawa looks at me, seeming genuinely concerned. She's actually very kind-hearted... I'm impressed. Just as I think that, a strange sensation rises in my throat, and I start coughing.
"Cough...!"
Looking at my hand, I see blood. It seems I've coughed up blood. Is this... hemoptysis?
"Huh...? Senpai...? What is this...?"
Amasawa's eyes widened in shock and panic. She starts crying while gently patting my back as I lie on the floor.
"Cough... There's blood... Haha, don't cry too..."
"I can't help it! You're going to die! We need to go to the hospital!"
"It's not decided that I'm going to die... cough!"
I try to calm her down, but it's in vain. I continue to cough up a large amount of blood.
"Hey... please stop it... It's just a joke, right? I don't want you to die... senpai!"
Amasawa trembles uncontrollably, unable to grasp the situation, falling into a state of shock. She looks like a little sister to me, so I gently pat her head.
"Haha, it's okay... because if I sleep... I'll get better... Even if I die, Kiyotaka is still here..."
"No! I don't want that! I want both of you! Let's go to the hospital, senpai! I'll take you! Don't talk anymore!"
She's quite assertive... But to fulfill her request, I close my eyes and stay quiet. While I'm asleep, Amasawa holds my hand warmly, making me feel wrapped in something gentle and warm.
Several hours later, I woke up still feeling sluggish but without the urge to cough. I squeeze Amasawa's hand back, who is still leaning over with her head down.
"Senpai?"
"... Amasawa?"
"Yeah, it's me, Ichika. Are you feeling okay? Is your body hurting?"
"Haha, Ichika...It's my cute junior, Ichika-chan..."
"//// You idiot, go to sleep!."
"No way... hey, hold my hand?"
"Yeah, I've been holding it all this time."
"Are you going anywhere?"
"Hehe, not going anywhere~"
(Oh no, I'm getting a nosebleed... With those watery eyes... I can't go anywhere like this! Isn't Horagasaki-senpai too cute? Seriously, regressing like a child... Should I take him home like this and... No, what am I saying! He's sick!)
"I love Ichika."
"Yeah, I love senpai too."
"I love you more."
(Huh? What's with this heart-melting conversation? Can I take this home? It's a go, right? Let's go, let's go!)
"Horagasaki-senpai , what kind of girls do you like?"
"Hmm? Well, they should be cute..."
(First requirement cleared.)
"And kind..."
(I'm kind to senpai. Requirement cleared.)
"But well, as long as we can live in peace, that's fine too. Hehe."
(Good boy, a really good boy. Let's live in peace. All of humanity should learn from Horagasaki-senpai! White Room, disappear already. With Horagasaki-senpai in this feverish state, he can save humanity! Let's destroy the White Room! Or should I ask him to do it? Can't hurt to ask!)
"Se-senpai~? I have a favor to ask, is that okay?"
"Hm? What's up?"
"I'm going to record a video now, so could you say the lines I request? Is that okay?"
"Sure!"
(Seriously? Did it work? Yes, I'm going to treasure this forever!)
Saying that, Amasawa takes out her phone and starts recording Horagasaki. It's a strange situation, but Amasawa looks incredibly happy with a big smile on her face.
"Here we go, 3, 2, 1!"
"I-Ichika? My body is getting hot... Ichika has been taking such good care of me, I want to be yours, okay?"
"Uwaaahhh!"
Amasawa collapses on the spot with a nosebleed.
(That upward glance, those teary eyes, that beautiful boy, fidgeting shyly, he's a god. Usually, he's all cool and tough, but when he's weakened by a fever, he's adorably cute. What is this, it's too perfect!)
"Are you okay, Ichika?"
"Totally fine, totally fine. I could die for you anytime, senpai. Okay, next we're aiming for the world!"
Amasawa, pressing her nose, smiles and says something weird to reassure Horagasaki.
"O-okay?"
"Ugh!!!"
Seeing Horagasaki raise his hand slightly, Amasawa gets another nosebleed.
"Geez, you're not okay at all. Don't make me worry... idiot."
I, Ichika Amasawa, am overwhelmed by the urge to take him, Jin Horagasaki-senpai, home with me.
I want to ravish him in my room. Isn't he the angel I was born for? I won't let anyone else have Horagasaki-senpai. I really want him, I want him more than anything in this world. Oh, my nose is bleeding again.
"Okay, senpai, let's get you to bed? If you stay up, you'll get a fever again."
"Yeah... I'll sleep."
"Hehe, good boy, senpai."
"Then Ichika, come too? Let's sleep together?"
"...Huh?"
"Is that... not okay?"
Looking up at Amasawa with teary eyes, Horagasaki makes her face turn bright red, and she nods strongly.
"Let's sleep, let's sleep right away. Excuse me."
"Alright."
I slowly get into Horagasaki-senpai's bed and slip under the covers.
Wow, it's so warm.
This gentle feeling, it's my first time experiencing it.
Ah, I'm getting sleepy. I let myself drift off, enveloped in Horagasaki-senpai's warmth.
....
My condition, which had been really bad, is starting to get better. It turns out it was a severe case of gastritis. Still, it was really tough.
While I was thinking that, I noticed Amasawa sleeping in my bed.
"Amasawa?"
"Mm... Senpai?"
Amasawa wakes up, rubbing her sleepy eyes. Wow, that was super cute. I guess she stayed by my side the whole time.
"Amasawa, thank you."
"Oh, are you feeling better?"
"Yeah, sort of."
"It would've been fine if you stayed sick. You were so cute earlier, senpai."
"What are you talking about, seriously?"
As I said that, Amasawa grinned and played a certain video.
"Ichika? My body is getting hot... Ichika has been taking such good care of me, I want to be yours, okay?"
I froze up. Naturally, seeing my embarrassing upward glance on the screen, I wanted to throw my phone away.
"What the heck is this!?"
When did she record this? I started to panic.
"Haha, senpai, you're too sexy~."
"Amasawa, I'll treat you to something, so delete that."
"No way~."
"Amasawa! Do you know what would happen if this got out?"
"What would happen?"
"I'd lose everything and be left with nothing!"
Amasawa and I started running around the room, with her holding the phone. But since I wasn't fully recovered, I felt a bit dizzy and almost fell.
"Oh no..."
"Senpai!"
Amasawa supported me as I was about to fall. She was quite strong, lifting me in a princess carry and gently laying me on the bed.
"Amasawa..."
"Senpai, you're light... I can even carry you like this."
Wow, Ichika is super cool. But it's embarrassing for a guy to be princess carried by a girl, and I ended up feeling quite flustered.
"Sorry, you're still not fully recovered. Let's get you lying down and check your temperature."
Amasawa kindly checked my temperature, and it was 38.7°C (101.7°F). I felt better than before but still had a slight fever and some fatigue.
"You still have a fever. How do you feel? Do you feel like throwing up?"
"I'm fine, I'm not going to throw up."
While we were talking, the front door opened, and Kiyotaka came in.
"Jin? You didn't read my messages, so I came over. The door was open... Why is Amasawa here?"
"Oh, Ayanokouji-senpai! Are you here to visit Horagasaki-senpai too?"
"Visiting? Is he sick?"
"Ayanokouji-senpai, did you come to kill time? I thought you came because I was here."
Amasawa teased playfully, and Kiyotaka looked at me with concern.
"Jin, are you okay? Do you need anything?"
"I'm fine, it's just gastritis. I don't need anything."
"Good to hear you're okay."
Kiyotaka's expressionless face showed a hint of relief.
"Hmm. Oh, Horagasaki-senpai, let me put a cooling patch on you."
Amasawa straddled me and deliberately brought her face close to apply the cooling patch. She smelled really nice, and her breath was sweet.
"Amasawa, I'll do it. I can't trust you with this."
"Oh, you really want to do it yourself, don't you?"
Amasawa teased, covering her mouth with her hand and laughing. Kiyotaka, unusually annoyed, approached and took the cooling patch from her, ignoring her words and putting it on me.
"There, it's done."
"Uh, thanks."
Amasawa glared fiercely at Kiyotaka and forcibly pulled him away from me.
"What are you doing, senpai? Horagasaki-senpai is sick. There's a line you shouldn't cross."
"I'm just trying to help him recover quickly. I'm not causing him any trouble."
"Oh, so Horagasaki-senpai is yours now? When did you start feeling that way? You're not the Ayakouji Kiyotaka I admired, it's disappointing."
"Think what you want. I don't care what you think of me."
"What the heck."
The tension between them was intense, like a marital spat. The confrontation between White Room No.1 and No.2 was terrifying, so I stepped in to break up their quarrel.
"Well, well, well..."
"...Sorry, I might have gone a bit overboard."
"Hmph. Oh, Horagasaki-senpai, can I sleep next to you?"
"Eh?"
Without giving me a chance to respond, Amasawa started slipping into my bed.
"Wow, it's so warm!"
"R-really?"
I wondered how Kiyotaka felt watching this. Was he thinking, "These idiots, let them do whatever they want"? But then Kiyotaka grabbed my arm with a fierce look.
"Uh...?"
"Jin, your back. You're sweating, right? Let me wipe it for you."
"Hey, Ayanokouji-senpai, why do you always try to separate me from Horagasaki-senpai?!"
Caught in the middle, my right arm was pulled by Amasawa, and my left arm by Kiyotaka. So, apparently, I'm popular with both of them.
"Let go, Amasawa. Jin's body will get cold."
"I'll warm him up with my body heat. You should back off."
"I won't. You back off."
"No way~ Ayanokouji-senpai, you're surprisingly stubborn."
"Of course, I'm not comfortable leaving him with you."
My arms were being pulled in both directions. My joints hurt enough already, and being pulled like this might dislocate them...
"Um..."
"What?!"
"Could you please let go?"
"Oh..."
Realizing they might have gone too far, they both released my arms.
"Sorry, Amasawa. That was a bit immature of me."
"No, I'm sorry too. But I'm kind of glad to see this unexpected side of Ayanokouji-senpai."
"Is that so..."
The two fell into an awkward silence. Seriously, why are they doing this at my place?
"Hey, Ayanokouji-senpai, let's go on a date next time!"
"What are you talking about? I have a girlfriend."
"Oh, but it's fine if she doesn't find out."
"Well... that..."
"Otherwise, I'll spread some secrets about you."
"Fine, how about Sunday?"
"Sunday it is! Thanks, Ayanokouji-senpai!"
With a beaming smile, Amasawa grabbed Kiyotaka's hand. What's with these two? They suddenly started getting along. Their emotional swings are wild. I couldn't help but voice my frustration at their lover's quarrel.
"Why don't you two go home! What am I even watching?"
Both of them looked at me, as if they had just remembered I was there.
"Oh, sorry, Horagasaki-senpai. Let's change your cooling patch."
"Jin, you should get up and drink some water. It's important to stay hydrated."
I was entangled with these two strange individuals. Was it wrong for me to wonder when this madness would end?
