"You are such a gentle person."

A soft voice sounded in her ear, and Momoi seemed to fall into a void, only able to see those curved eyes.

Asuka got up and pulled Momoi, who seemed to be in a daze, up, and helped her brush the dust off her clothes.

Of course, a bird living a contented life wouldn't be thinking of anything negative; it just felt comfortable sitting on the edge of the rooftop and wanted to experience it while no one was around.

Tears are also a physiological phenomenon caused by sunlight.

Once she calmed down, Momoi realized she might have been overthinking things. She gripped her skirt tightly with her right hand and quickly apologized.

"Huh? Why are you apologizing?" The black-haired girl seemed a little confused. "You saved me, so I should be thanking you. Luckily you weren't hurt, or I would have felt really guilty."

As she spoke, she rescued the poor hem of her skirt from Momoi's hands, gently holding his hand in her own, her tone sincere and her smile gentle: "Thank you for your help."

Damn it, she didn't help at all, it was just a misunderstanding, and she even made things worse! Why should she thank me...?

Momoi's eyes stung, and she felt like tears were about to fall.

The sun is really blinding.

Asuka looked at the pink-haired girl who was running away in a disheveled state, tilted her head, and asked, puzzled.

Momoi ran to a secluded spot and sat on a bench.

Take out the lunchbox and place it on your lap.

My throat is so dry, I don't know why.

A tear fell onto the plastic casing.

Did you cry? No wonder.

Why am I crying?

-

After tidying herself up in front of the mirror, Momoi changed into her gym uniform and went to the playground as usual to prepare for physical education class.

Some girls from different classes were chatting together. She sat not far from them, hugging her knees, staring at the rubber track, thinking about what had happened at noon.

Ugh, how embarrassing!!

Momoi couldn't help but cover her face with her hands, wishing she could turn back time.

"Ah, Asuka-chan seems to be waving this way. Is she saying hello to someone?"

Eh!

Momoi suddenly looked up and saw the black-haired girl not far away.

It looks like it's heading this way?

As if by some strange twist of fate, Momoi raised her hand and waved.

Σ(°△°|||)︴Did she smile in this direction?

Oops……

Momoi suddenly turned pale, clutching her stomach with her right hand. The sudden pain made her hug her abdomen tightly and curl up as much as possible.

"Peach, well, mulberry."

A voice, both strange and familiar, rang out in front of her. Momoi reluctantly looked up at the girl backlit by the light.

Are you feeling unwell?

The girl seemed to know the predicament she was in. She took off her long-sleeved sports jacket, bent down, and helped Momoi tie it around her waist.

"Okay, I'll take you to the infirmary."

The flying bird helped up the peach well.

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was very powerful.

"If you're feeling weak, please feel free to rely on me."

My throat is so dry...

-

Asuka passed by the convenience store on campus, bought a pack of sanitary napkins, and then helped Momoi to the restroom.

The school doctor wasn't in the infirmary, but left a note on the table saying that if I needed brown sugar ginger tea, I could get it from the drawer next to me.

"I'm sorry for keeping you from class." Momoi pursed her lips. "...Thank you."

"Hey, actually it wasn't delayed, right? Thanks to Momoi-san, I can skip PE class with a perfectly good excuse now." Asuka stuck out her tongue.

"Oh right, I got Momoi-san's name from Kise-kun."

"I think I saw Momoi-san on the sidelines when I watched the basketball game last time, so I guessed that she might be the manager of the basketball team, and I tried asking Kise-kun."

"I hope this isn't too offensive."

Feiniao opened the drawer and took out a packet of powder.

"I'll go make Momoi-san a cup of brown sugar ginger tea. As for the gym uniform, I brought an extra one. Momoi-san is about the same height as me, so it should fit."

"and many more……"

Momoi's voice was very soft, but Asuka caught it.

"Hmm? Is there anything else I can help you with, Momoi-san?"

Momoi clutched the white sheet; sunlight streamed in through the window, bringing the warmth of spring to the back of her hand.

"I am Momoi Satsuki..."

Asuka paused for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Ah, I am Mononobe Asuka."
