"I... I thought I was seeing things!"

Kurashiki Rena ran up to Natsume Ryo. Because she was running so fast, her full breasts rose and fell slightly, and a healthy blush appeared on her fair cheeks.

A pair of blue eyes, watery and gazing at Natsume Ryo.

……

"That's quite a coincidence."

"But speaking of which, how did you end up here?"

Natsume Ryo asked in return.

"I...I came with my friend!"

Upon hearing this, Kurashiki Rena seemed to realize that her reaction had been a bit too intense. She quickly took a deep breath to calm her rapid breathing before explaining.

“A senior member of my kendo club was injured a few days ago during the national tournament preliminaries. He sprained his ligaments and came here today for a follow-up examination.”

"I thought it was just a minor check-up that would be over quickly."

"My friend and I just wanted to be there for her."

"But Natsume-kun..."

"I've noticed... something seems off about this hospital."

Kurashiki Rena's expression changed visibly, and she moved a little closer to Natsume Ryo.

"Something's wrong?"

"It's about Parasites, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Natsume Ryo thought of Kurashiki Reina's [Parasitic Organism Detection] ability and offered further guidance.

really.

Kurashiki Rena nodded vigorously after hearing this.

"Ok!"

"When I first came in, I sensed... a few... parasites were roaming around the hospital."

"I originally thought there weren't many cases, and with so many people coming and going in the hospital, the yang energy was strong, so I thought... I thought there wouldn't be any problems."

"But just now, after those reporters blocked the hospital entrance... I suddenly felt... that ominous aura suddenly increased a lot! It almost... almost filled the entire hospital!"

"I...I wanted to leave right away, but my friend is still upstairs waiting for the test results..."

"That's why I remembered that Natsume-kun said there wouldn't be any more parasite attacks..."

"So I mustered up my courage and stayed..."

"But thankfully... I ran into Natsume-kun here..."

After Kurashiki Rena finished speaking, she clung tightly to Natsume Ryo's arm.

Not a clue.

Her action directly pushed Yuuko, who was originally intimately holding Natsume Ryo's arm, away by a small distance.

"..."

Geng Xizi's smile froze instantly.

"Hey, Natsume-kun..."

"Who is this blonde girl?"

"She seems to... really like you, Natsume-kun."

"Such beautiful blonde hair, it would be such a pity if it got stained with something unclean, or... suddenly fell out completely."

"You're right, aren't you, Natsume-kun?"

Geng Xizi tilted her head slightly, her eyes curving into beautiful crescent shapes, a playful, faint smile playing on her lips, her voice as soft as the most intimate whisper between lovers.

but.

The intense malice contained in Geng Xizi's words made Natsume Ryo vaguely sense that she was drifting towards becoming a vengeful spirit.

"..."

then.

Upon seeing this, Natsume Ryo immediately raised his hand.

I flicked Geng Xizi's forehead.

It interrupted the dark aura that was about to overflow from the body.

"Woo..."

Geng Xizi immediately covered her forehead and let out a soft moan of grievance.

"So, what brings Natsume-kun to the hospital? Is something wrong?"

Kurashiki Rena had no idea that she had just narrowly escaped death.

"Just a small matter, I came to visit a friend."

Natsume Ryo gave a casual reply, not wanting to dwell on the topic any further.

"friend?"

who ever thought.

Upon hearing this, Kurashiki Rena's curiosity intensified.

"Is it a boy... or a girl?"

"..."

Snapped!

Before Natsume Ryo could answer, a crisp sound suddenly came from behind Kurashiki Rena.

A stylishly dressed, hot girl with a cute right ponytail.

He appeared behind Kurashiki Rena without her noticing and patted her back lightly with his palm.

"You little brat, Rena! You said you were only going to buy water."

"We've been waiting for ages, and you're here chatting away with a handsome guy, completely forgetting about us?"

The girl's voice was clear and melodious, with an innate enthusiasm. As she spoke, she winked mischievously at Kurashiki Rena.

Her gaze lingered unabashedly on Natsume Ryo, her bright eyes sparkling with a gossipy light as if she had discovered a new continent.

"Rina! Stop fooling around!"

Startled by her friend's sudden tap, Kurashiki Rena quickly turned around, her pretty face slightly flushed as she playfully scolded her.

The person who came was one of Kurashiki Rena's best friends.

——Rina Tsushima.

A cheerful and outgoing personality.

She's a typical looks-obsessed person who's completely powerless against handsome guys!

……

"What do you mean I'm making a fuss?"

Upon hearing Kurashiki Rena's words, Tsushima Rina immediately put her hands on her hips with a sense of righteous indignation.

Then, as if he had discovered some incredible secret, he leaned close to Kurashiki Rena's ear, lowered his voice, and spoke in an ambiguous tone.

"But you, Rena, tell me the truth, who is this handsome guy?"

"How come I've never heard you mention this before?"

"This isn't like you at all. I always thought you actually preferred girls."

"Tell me, when did you change your personality?"

As Tsushima Rina spoke, her gaze swept back and forth between Natsume Ryo and Kurashiki Reina.

This made Rena Kurashiki's cheeks burn even hotter.

"Don't, don't talk nonsense!"

Kurashiki Rena stammered in rebuttal, but her response was utterly unconvincing.

……

Especially Rena Kurashiki.

Rina Tsushima had known Reina Kurashiki for so long, and this was the first time she had ever seen her usually strong-willed friend, who disdained any boy who tried to curry favor with her, become like this because of another boy.

They even proactively said things that were clearly out of consideration for the other person.

There must be a huge secret behind this!

"Oh?"

"I was just saying it casually, why are you reacting so strongly?" Thinking of this, Tsushima Rina deliberately dragged out her tone, moved closer, and gently nudged Kurashiki Reina's soft waist with her elbow.

"I……"

"What am I?"

Seeing that Rena Kurashiki stammered and couldn't give a coherent answer, Rina Tsushima's eyes burned with a fierce thirst for gossip.

Then, those bright eyes darted around and locked onto their target.

—On Natsume Ryo's body.

Rina Tsushima's face instantly broke into a sweet and charming smile. She strode around Reina Kurashiki, her legs, accentuated by her fashionable short skirt, and stepped forward to stand directly in front of Ryo Natsume, waving familiarly.

"Hey, handsome..."

"Hello, I'm Rena's best friend, Tsushima Rina. You can just call me Rina."

As Tsushima Rina spoke, she winked mischievously at Natsume Ryo, her "I know everything" expression practically screaming, "Tell me what your relationship is!"

"Hello."

Faced with this overly friendly and hot girl, Natsume Ryo simply nodded calmly, without making any move to shake her hand.

"Hey, Natsume-kun..."

"Speaking of which, what exactly is your relationship with our Rena?"

"Judging from how you two were just now, you don't seem to be just ordinary friends."

Are you two dating?

"If not, Natsume-kun, what do you think of me?"

Seeing that Natsume Ryo wasn't taking the bait, Tsushima Rina wasn't discouraged. Instead, she became even more energetic, putting her hands behind her back and leaning slightly forward, highlighting her shapely figure.

She brought her exquisitely made-up face closer, deliberately puffed out her chest, and gave Natsume Ryo a flirtatious wink, perfectly embodying the image of a wicked woman.

Never thought.

next second.

"Rina! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll really get angry!"

Upon hearing this, Kurashiki Rena finally snapped out of her embarrassment, and her expression changed drastically.

He quickly covered his friend's loose tongue.

Then raise your hand and pinch your friend's waist hard!

"hiss!!!"

"I was just kidding!"

Rina Tsushima immediately felt the pain and begged for mercy.

……

Seeing that the two girls were about to have a full-blown fight in the hospital corridor, Natsume Ryo glanced at the time on his phone. Several hours had passed since the children were brought to the hospital, and the follow-up examinations and arrangements should be almost finished by now.

I should go up and check on the situation myself.
