I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"What's the truth?"

"Teacher, I finally have a fellow patient who came in with me for vomiting blood. If you leave so soon, Souji-chan, I will be very lonely."

"As expected!"

Teacher, your dignity as a teacher is being shattered, the kind of shattered.

But looking at the actions and tone of teacher Oreki Yuri when she entered the classroom, maybe she didn't think about the dignity of a teacher at the beginning.

At this moment, Souji Okita is like a bird in a cage. She is locked in the ward and can't spread her wings like she can outside.

Especially since she is in the same ward with her teacher, even if this teacher doesn't have much teacher's dignity, he is still a teacher.

It can only be said that China's education model is very successful. Whether at home, in the classroom, in the office, in the hospital or even in the toilet, it is a very painful thing for students and teachers to be in the same room.

It's not that there are no students who can chat very happily even with teachers, but the former Souji Okita is definitely not one of them.

Even though he had traveled through time and became a servant, Okita Souji still recalled the fear of being dominated by his teacher.

Fortunately, this torment did not last too long.

"Um... Okita-san, is it in this ward?"

The door of the ward was pushed open, and a little head poked in timidly from outside.

Then Okita Souji opened his shining eyes like a cat that saw dried fish.

"Ayatsuji-senpai! I'm here!"

The excited Okita Souji almost scared away the shy Ayatsuji Ayase, so he ignored it gorgeously.

"Ah~~~~~"

On the spotless white bed, Okita Souji opened his mouth, and then Ayatsuji Ayase blushed and put a small orange slice into Okita Souji's mouth.

Okita Souji closed his eyes and chewed it carefully, letting the sweetness of the orange spread in his mouth.

"Mmm... so sweet, thank you Ayatsuji-senpai."

"Wow... I'm glad Okita-san likes it."

The oranges were brought by Ayatsuji Ayase. After hearing that Okita Souji was sent to the infirmary, Ayatsuji Ayase came to visit him with a basket of fruits.

What a thoughtful and gentle girl. That's why Okita Souji's roommates from childhood to adulthood are all such good people.

I'm really lucky.

Chapter 58 Nosy

The atmosphere of feeding Okita Souji and Ayatsuji Ayase was very harmonious, but they were not the only two present.

"Momm, how can you do this? You actually left the respected teacher aside, and the two of you were flirting with each other. The teacher also wanted to eat some fruit to replenish his body, sobbing..."

"But that was the fruit my roommate gave me. When you have a crush on your student's fruit, you are no longer worthy of respect, okay?" Swallowing the orange in his mouth, Okita Souji shouted mercilessly to Oreki Yuri on the bed next to him, "Also, although you said the word "sobbing", I didn't see any signs of you crying at all."

"Ah, you can make such a sharp complaint. As your teacher, Okita-san, I feel very relieved."

"Is your job as a teacher to teach students how to complain?"

How should I put it? Seeing that the patient who should have been weak and could only lie on the bed and even had to be fed by himself to eat oranges could chat more energetically than himself, Ayase Tsuji felt a little complicated for a while.

"Uh... I feel a little redundant. Anyway, the fruit basket has been delivered, so why don't I leave first..."

"No! No!"

Senior Ayatsuji, you can't leave! If you leave, I will be forced to share a room with my teacher!

In my memory, nothing good will happen if I stay with my teacher. It's either calling parents or reflecting and writing self-criticisms. It's almost... No, it has become a huge psychological shadow!

So Souji Okita hugged Ayase Ayase's waist at lightning speed, and begged with tears in his eyes: "Senior Ayatsuji, you can't leave. What should I do if you leave..."

Ayase Ayatsuji didn't understand what Souji Okita said. What did he mean by what would happen if she left?

I don't understand, but...

"Okita-san is relying on me!"

It was as if small fireworks were rising in her heart. Ayatsuji Ayase's face showed an unconcealable smile. She sat back on the chair and hugged Okita Souji's little head and said, "Okay, okay, senior sister is here, don't cry, don't cry."

... How did senior sister Ayatsuji know that I would cry?

Okita Souji pondered for a long time, and then rubbed her little face on Ayatsuji Ayase's belly through her clothes.

Forget it, this is not bad.

Looking at the intimate behavior of Okita Souji and Ayatsuji Ayase, Oreki Yuri suddenly fell silent.

Of course, her previous statement of "flirting on your own" was just a joke, but now it seems... it seems to have come true? !

But... if it's two girls, is it okay?

Oreki Yuri rubbed her eyes vigorously, and then looked carefully. The ambiguous atmosphere she felt before disappeared a lot, and it was more like a close relationship between sisters.

Well, at least it was more normal now.

The infirmary refused to let her go, which was really a torture for Okita Souji, who had ADHD, but fortunately, there was Ayase Ayatsuji to chat with her and occasionally feed her.

Although she was not the King of Acheron, she was at least a character with a Takeuchi face, so her appetite should be big... right?

In the process of chatting and feeding, the relationship between the two became familiar, and they got to know each other better.

"Ayatsuji Kaito..."

During the conversation, Okita Souji remembered this name.

Ayatsuji Kaito is Ayatsuji Ayase's father. When talking about him, Ayatsuji Ayase rarely raised his head and looked directly into Okita Souji's eyes, recounting the man's deeds in a respectful and proud tone.

Although he is an ordinary person who cannot control magic and has no superpowers, he can defeat some criminals with superpowers with the samurai sword in his hand. He is called the "last samurai".

It's amazing. Think about Kurogane Ikki, who is regarded as a waste by all the sword cutters because of his only F-level magic power. What about Mr. Ayatsuji Kaito who is not even a sword cutter? I'm afraid he is not even as good as a waste.

In such a twisted world where magic is important, it is a fearless feat for ordinary people to raise weapons against sword cutters.

I always feel that Kurogane Ikki and Mr. Ayatsuji Kaito will have a lot in common.

When Ayatsuji Ayase first told Okita Souji about her father, she looked very proud and admired him. The endless narration made it difficult for Okita Souji to connect her with the shy and timid senior sister. But later, Ayatsuji Ayase seemed to remember something, and her mood suddenly became depressed.

Later, Ayatsuji Ayase talked about Mr. Ayatsuji Kaito in far less detail than before, and even deliberately avoided some things.

"My father was in a coma and hospitalized because of an accident two years ago, and he hasn't woken up yet." Ayatsuji Ayase only told Okita Souji this much.

Was it just an accident?

If it was really just an accident, why did you show such a look?

Pain, regret, grief, and... anger.

If it was really just an accident, who were you going to burn with the anger in your eyes?

Ayatsuji Ayase still left, but this time Okita Souji didn't stop her.

The reason for leaving was poor health. Really, he couldn't even find a good reason. If he really didn't want others to worry about him, he should have pretended to be more convincing.

This clumsy disguise... made people more worried.

"Aren't you going to comfort her?"

Oreki Yuri suddenly spoke, causing Okita Souji to look over.

"...I'm not good at comforting. Most of the time, I'm better at listening and accompanying than comforting, and..."

Okita Souji looked out the window. Wind kept blowing into the house, blowing the curtains. The sunlight was blocked by the clouds and lost its original glare. It looked very gentle, just right with the breeze.

"...She has been holding on alone for two years. Her spirit is not fragile enough to need comfort, let alone comfort from an outsider like me who has only known her for less than a day."

Okita Souji stared at the scenery outside the window for a long time. When she saw the sun emerge from the clouds and then be hidden by the clouds, she retracted her gaze and looked at Oreki Yuri solemnly with amber eyes as calm as lake water.

"Teacher, I want to know about Mr. Ayatsuji Kaito."

"Should Ayase Ayatsuji have told you?"

"I told you the whole story, not the deleted or concealed content."

Ah, what kind of eyes are those.

Like a lake reflecting the starry sky, like amber sealed with the past.

Why did I become a teacher in the first place?

Looking into that pair of eyes, Oreki Yuri's mouth corners slightly raised.

Perhaps, it was to see more beautiful eyes like hers.

Because I have never been so grateful to my past self, grateful that she could become a teacher.

"So Okita-san is such a nosy person? Do you want to be a partner of justice?"

"Please forgive me. I stay away from these things, let alone become a partner of justice. If everyone in this world is divided into good and evil, then I will definitely be on the side of 'evil'."

Okita Souji shook his head and said this in a nonchalant tone.

"But... since the incident has already happened in front of me, there is no reason for me not to take care of it."

"What's more..."

Okita Souji tilted his head and gently placed one hand on the fruit basket beside the bed.

"If I don't do something, this fruit will not taste good."

Chapter 59 Are there not enough weirdos in Chaldea?

The weather is just right today, and it is very suitable for going out to play.

Okita Souji was finally released from the infirmary, so she and Ayase Ayase made an appointment to go out of school together while the weather was clear and refreshing.

But when the two passed the gate of Pojun Academy, they found that the atmosphere here was a bit weird.

"It's really surprising. I didn't expect that such a noble person as Her Highness Stella would be interested in this kind of civilian entertainment like us brothers and sisters."

"After I said I wanted to learn about Japan, my master Ikki invited me."

One is smiling but hiding a knife, and the other is showing off his edge. The common point between the two is that they are both rare beauties in this academy.

The one showing off his edge is Stella, and the person next to Stella is Kurogane Ikki, who has a somewhat stiff smile. Today, the two did not wear school uniforms, but were carefully dressed up, especially Stella, who wore a light yellow coat with a white lining and a pink waisted pleated skirt, and a small bag on her shoulder, showing the purity and vitality of the girl.

"Shouldn't Your Highness learn to be polite or know what's interesting?"

"I came here just because I know what's interesting. It's really dangerous to go out with a shameless sister who kisses her biological brother!"

Ah, is this a confrontation between women?

So scary, so scary.

Kuroyuki Ikki knew that their quarrel was because of him, but his instinct always warned him not to interrupt without permission, so he had no choice but to maintain an awkward yet polite smile on the side.

At this moment, Kuroyuki Ikki felt his shoulder being tapped from behind. He subconsciously turned his head away without feeling any malice, and then felt his cheek being poked.

"Hey, the sneak attack was successful."

Okita Souji, who withdrew his hand from Kurotetsu Ikki's shoulder, showed a smile of successful prank.

Then Souji Okita received a bunch of looks that were either surprised, confused or wary. Only Ikki Kuroyukitsu was surprised by Souji Okita's appearance.

"Soji! Are you discharged from the hospital?"

During the few days he was hospitalized, Ikki Kuroyuki also came to visit him. Now the relationship between the two of them is so familiar that they can call each other directly by their names.

Also, one time Ayatsuji Ayase and Kuroyuki Ikki happened to bump into each other. Because they were both classmates who went to visit Okita Souji, they knew each other.

It's a pity that Ayatsuji Ayase is a little afraid of strangers, especially unfamiliar boys, so Souji Okita has to be the middleman in the process of getting to know each other.

If Ayatsuji Ayase hadn't wanted to show off her dignity as a senior in front of Okita Souji, she might have run away because of Kurogane Ikki.

However, unlike Okita Souji, Kuroyuki Ikki seems to be very familiar with the surname "Ayatsuji" because he admires Ayatsuji Ayase's father.

It is said that because Kuroyuki Ikki was looked down upon, no one was willing to teach him swordsmanship, so he would always watch other people's competition videos. Among them, "The Last Samurai" Ayatsuji Kaito was the most helpful to him.

Only when talking about his father, Ayatsuji Ayase would temporarily forget his timidity and talk normally.

"I told you there was nothing wrong with me. I should have been released a long time ago, but I was only allowed to leave the hospital yesterday..." Okita Souji muttered dissatisfiedly for a while, and then looked at Ayatsuji Aya, who was slowly walking to his side. Se, "Because I've been lying on the bed for too long, I made an appointment with my senior sister to go out and have some fun, and stretch my almost rusty body. What are you..."

Okita Souji looked past Kuroyuki Ikki and glanced at the three people behind him.

"Dating? Ikki, you're dating three people at once?"
