I Became a Hero in a Pandemic - Chapter 24
Chapter 24: Cold
“Youre late, Senpai”
With a towel around my neck, I walked to the living room, where a delicate air welcomed me and Aya-chan. Several dishes which dont steam anymore were dished up on the large table, while Kurumi-chan served warm rice. Contrast to the steam which frolics, Shizuyo-chan makes a metaphor for their state.
No look, because I got wet and was wiping it up with the towel, but my body wasnt hygienic. Uh, I was only so slow because I washed every corner of my body.
I see, washing every corner of your daughters bodyMatoba-san is such a person”
Kurumi-chan got the correct answer, but of course I dont tell her the truth. Though we nearly took a shower together. No, isnt it natural?
“M-y-y own body! Well, I washed her back and head”
The sisters look at each other when I said so and started their sisters conference by whispering.
“Onee-chan, when did you take a bath with father?”
“Uuh, as a elementary student”
“Me too. However, isnt Aya-chan like me? Doesnt she seem to be a middle school student like me?”
Because its unusual, but there are zero reasons, therefore last safety?
And even if they whisper, I am hearing everything because Im next to them. However, the content isnt something I can argue against.
Soon after they decided, both turned here when happily sighing and opened their mouths.
“Lets eat. It wont be delicious when its getting cold any further
“Kazuya-san. I bath alone”
Youre noisy
I extended my hand to the dishes, while Kurumi-chan tells me because she thinks her body is in danger.
Senpai, you can use this room here. Because we are in the room next door, please come when there is something
“N, I seethen, good night”
“Yes, good night”
And as soon as Shizuyo-chan returns to her own room, I entered the borrowed room with Aya-chan.
This room had been beautifully put into order. If there is nothing, it is a simple atmosphere based on white and brown. A closet and a double size bed are the only furnitures. Also a family photo is put on the bed.
This looks like the parents bedroom, but there is nothing that implify that.
When I thought that I can use it beautifully, I dived into the bed where Aya-chan is already sleeping.
Lately I laid in the canopy, so it can be understood that I dive into the bed. The enemies in this world arent only limited to the zombies alone even if Im not attacked by it, however physical strength is only consumed by living people.
Are you tired?
When I sit down next to Aya-chan and stroke her headher forehead was hot surprisingly.
“Aya-chan!?”
I quickly raise her up, but Aya-chan is only lying leisurely in my arms. I thought there would be no case that she gets ill because she is a zombie, but it probably seems to have been the case now.
Fatigue, Rain, Sexthere is no difference for what caused this situation.
Please wait a moment! I get medicine now!
Pulling off her stockings and laying her on the bed, I went to the room next door and knocked three times.
“Yes Yess, what happened?”
“Kurumi-chan!? Aya-chan has fever, there is no medicine!?
I told my need fastly, while shaking Kurumi-chans shoulders, that I groped.
I need medicine as soon as possible.
Pl, Please settle down for a moment!
Even if she says so, I cant settle so easily. After all, there is no doctor. Medicine only exist on the market. Because its late for this, Id like to lower only the heat at least. And its also unclear what kind of illness Aya-chan who is a zombie has.
An ordinary cold would be good. However, does she return to a zombie by any chance? There are also no guarantees that she will be as she is now this time.
“No, butbu!!”
Kurumi-chan crushed both my hands to keep me quiet compulsorily. Shizuyo-chan pass by, while laughing from the side.
Because Aya-chan has fever, do you need medicine?
For me every second counts, so I nodded.
To our regret, there is neither medicine nor a cooling seat. And someone probably put an antipyretic in the health-care room at school”
The clock is seen. The present time has been just around 22:00. I dont go outside by this rainstorm, because the rain can be heard from this room.
I will surely die if I go out at such a time. But even if Im not ordinary and am bitten a little, its no problem. Although it is the worst condition with rain at night, I might not be found so easily and it is good for independent action.
When considering such a feeling, Kurumi-chan emphasized my hand and looked at me with a ashamed glance.
“I!?”
“Dont think Kazuya-san. Its better to act like a doting parent, so please think more sensibly. When it became worse it might be serious, but a cold isnt a sickness where you die in one or two days. Lets cool it with a wet towel now and go getting the medicine tomorrow morning. It is dangerous at night
I breathe deeply once and think calmly. If I think sensibly, Aya-chan isnt included in this category.
I think I should speak when there are some problems. This sisters are sure to cooperate. But is it a problem that Aya-chan has a fever? It would be a problem that they would dispose Aya-chan when Im behind schedule, even if it is antipyretic, nothing would be done.
Nothing can be done at all. So I felt like doing something. Not only for Aya-chans purpose, but I tried to go outside for the rest too.
“It was bad. It was thoughtless. I was completely lost
“No No. Huhuu, even an adult like Kazuya-san will be upset
Well, the maturity of ones body doesnt mean the maturity of ones mind. Im still immature as a father
I didnt grow since my high school days. I stopped like that. There is a part where Im just thinking that Im an adult and a child forever. Thats so, even if its a good sense or bad sense.
And its a fact that Im a father for only some days now.
Shall we go to see Aya-chans state? I think that Onee-chan prepared a towel already
Thats right
Saying so, Shizuyo-chan went out from the room right now. A wet towel was prepared apparently and I felt more miserable.
“Enter”
I think it isnt necessary, but I knock at the closed door and enter the inside.
Inside the room Shizuyo-chan was putting a towel on Ayas forehead.
“How is Aya-chans state?”
Her breath is steady though it seems to be a little painful, perhaps its a routine cold. Senpai stay here so that Aya-chan isnt lonely
“Ah, thank you”
I understand that they dont have any intention and I didnt say that I need a separate room because of getting infected
“Here a glass of waterplease use it and a towel in the dressing room
“Noted. I know what I need to do
“No No”
“Tss”
The way of Kurumi-chans speech is completely tidy and sprouts unconsciously.
“Ee, eh? Youre somewhat strange!?
“No, Kurumis reaction is quite the same neatly and interestingsorry sorry”
“Its fine
Her face is blushing slightly which is interesting. Kurumi-chan completely has the same expression on her face, too, so I laugh again.
“Again! Youre laughing again!”
“Im sorry, really Im sorrythen, because I do nowpuuyou both can sleep”
My laugh doesnt stop and to not show them my laughing anymore, I push their backs and throw them out of the room.
“Good night”
“Good night!”
I answer back to Kurumi-chan and Shizuyo-chan who got angry a little and slip into my bed.
Please exert yourself a little more. Because Ill get medicine tomorrow morning
I closed my eyelids while touching Aya-chans warm cheeks.
