Episode 82 – My Body And Face Are Burning

Rin is on my bed and her face is super close to mine.

My body and face are burning and I feel dizzy..

This is bad…..this situation is bad.

It’s been like this since morning…..

Perhaps……I’ll even have to miss school.

[Beep-beep♪ Beep-beep♪]

“Hm- 38.4℃, it’s a normal fever. Take the day off from school today.”

I was unexpectedly sick. I was worried about the next step with Iori, and it was probably due to the fact that I had been gathering information on the Internet at night. I am also aware that I was pushing myself too hard due to continuous lack of sleep. Such an embarrassing reason.

“Do you want me to call the school for you?”

My big brother was looking up the procedure on how to get into the act on the internet and got sick. You’re going to say that !?

No way…….

“That’s it, right? Because you were on the Internet at night looking at suspiscious sites, right? Should I tell the truth?”

Rin found out….. and it’s actually embarrassing…….

“Of course not !Fine, I’ll leave a message for Yukki.”

“Hmm, well okay.”

She looked at me with intense eyes, but she calmly backed off and I was saved.

“Well, I’ll make you some porridge. Sleep tight.”

“Okay, thanks.”

It’s not that I’m not worried about leaving Rin in charge of cooking, but you can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs. Rin lived alone with father in the U.S., so it’s different from back then.

–I haven’t had a fever in years. If I had been alone at a time like this, I would have been very anxious.

I was so glad that Rin was here.

“Hey ! Big bro, there’s trouble ! Come here !”

It was such a serious situation that she called her brother who had a high fever….so I rushed to the kitchen.

I saw an amount of bubbles that I have never seen before spilling out of the pot.

I quickly turned off the heat.

“Rin, what did you do? I mean, what did you do to make this happen?”

“No, I just washed the rice normally and followed the procedure…”

It seems that she was looking at a recipe site on her smartphone.

I looked around the kitchen and saw that the detergent was almost half empty.

“Hey Rin….did you maybe….wash the rice with detergent….?”

“Yeah ! I washed it clean ! I’m not sure how to get rid of the slime ! But I’m sure it’ll be fine once it’s on heat !”

What do you mean by slimy?……I mean, washing rice with detergent is something that even careless heroines in anime wouldn’t do……

“I……I see…….”

“I’ll make the meal…….Rin, you sit tight.”

“Yeah…..I’ll do that.”

I took only Rin’s thoughts and ended up preparing breakfast for Rin as well.

After this, when I took my temperature, it was up to 39.2℃.
