the world over the sea

"Mr. Igarashi... are you okay..." I walked out from the depths of the woods according to the route I remembered, and it can only be considered luck that I didn't get lost.

"Mr. Principal, I found Mr. Igarashi and Mr. Takahashi—" Mr. Lin, who was the first discoverer, shouted to the principal.

"I'm fine" as if to prove this sentence, with Nayue on his back, the two of them fell to the ground together and lost consciousness.

******************

"It's great that you've woken up. The doctor said you're just under too much pressure..." My mother was babbling on the bedside, but she couldn't hear what she said.

He just woke up from a coma, and it's still unclear what happened.Before she fell into a coma... Nazuki...

"Mom! Where is Nazuki?!"

"..."

"Mom! Tell me! What's the matter with Naizuki?" She sat up excitedly, no matter the infusion needle was still inserted in her hand, the blood flowed out with the needle as soon as she exerted force on her hand.

"Lie down, don't force yourself, it's all flowing backwards..." Putting down the things in his hands, he cared about his daughter

"Mom...you tell me! Are you..." Ignoring her mother's care, what she wants to know most now is how is Nayue...

"Don't worry, she's fine..."

They were sent to the hospital as soon as they fainted, but due to the delay in contacting Natsuki Takahashi's guardian, the insurance card also disappeared.It was delayed like this...

The hospital didn't deal with it until it was judged to be in a dangerous state.

"Natsume, she...how is Nazuki..." Seeing Tina standing outside the ward, I believe she must know about Nazuki's situation.

"..." Tina didn't speak, but simply turned her head around.

"she……"

"it was all your fault."

***************

"Hi, doctor. I'm Natsuki Takahashi's aunt and her guardian." The dark pants were washed a little faded, and the neckline was baggy. They must have been worn for a long time.There are also a few patches on the maroon coat, it seems that the family background is not very good...

"Well, you go and pay the medical expenses first. Since you don't have an insurance card, all the content is at your own expense." The doctor didn't say much to this person, and just hurriedly dealt with the next one. patient.

"I see, thank you doctor." When he heard that he paid for everything at his own expense, his expression changed slightly.

***************

After receiving the news that Nazuki had woken up, Yazhi quickly walked from her ward to the corridor where Nazuki was.

Why in the hallway?Didn't pay the bed fee——

He stared at the ceiling with his eyes open, his eyes were empty, and he didn't even notice Mizhi's approach.

"Nazuki—"

"Nazuki—what's the matter?" Gently holding her hand that was undergoing infusion, she sat on the edge of the bed

"Mizhi—"

"I'm listening—"

"I want to go home——I don't want to stay here" and cried softly, "I want to go home...go home..." repeated many times

"You can go home when Nazuki is well, and Nazuki will be able to go home soon." Facing his lover's attitude of rejecting everything, he could only whisper in his ear

*****************

"Nazuki, I paid the medical expenses. This is your card, which saves you some money, and I didn't pay the bed fee. So you just feel wronged for a few days... I know you have a hard time alone." Looking at the hand The receipt, while walking over.The corners of a few banknotes emerged from the pockets of the tattered clothes on his body, as if they were stuffed anxiously.The clothes are torn, but they don’t feel like poor people at all. In their 40s, their skin is smooth, as if they have been regularly maintained.

"Hello." Mizhi answered first, but the other party didn't pay attention

"I'm leaving Nazuki first, take care of yourself." Then he left the hospital.

"That bitch is here to get the money again. Let her help pay the medical bills. The money in the card must have been taken away again." Tina walked over while talking in a somewhat ruthless tone.

"..."

Sensing the question in Teacher Igarashi's eyes, he replied proactively: "She gambled and lost her entire family, and her husband was also arrested for corruption."

Nazuki raised her hand and grabbed Tina's clothes, motioning her to stop talking.

"I know, I won't say anything." Gently patted Nayue's head to reassure her.

"I want to go home..." The request was brought up again, she didn't want to stay here at all.

"Okay—I'll ask the doctor." Tina's infinite love for Nayue made Mi Zhi a little confused.It's just a simple childhood sweetheart why did this happen.

"The doctor said you can go back, but you have to rest in bed for the next few days. It's not convenient for you, so you can stay at my house first, and I'll ask my dad to come and pick us up." Before Nayue could answer, Tina had already started talking on her own Telephone.

"Mizhi is also injured, I will stay at Tina's house for the next two days, don't worry." As if agreeing with Tina's decision, he comforted Mizhi.

"My dad is already outside, let me carry you out—"

"Hmm." Then he stretched out his hand and hugged Tina's neck, as if it wasn't the first time.

After lifting the quilt, Yazhi knew how Nazuki was injured.The thighs were wrapped in thick gauze, and there were many unbandaged abrasions and bruises on the feet. Anyone who saw it would definitely feel distressed.

Nazuki nestled in Tina's arms and was taken out of the hospital.

*****************

"Mizhi, is there anything else you haven't taken?" Mizhi was also discharged from the hospital a day later, and now only her mother is with her.

"No more." The only thing he needed to take was the work suit he wore when he was sent to the hospital, and he walked out of the hospital with his own bag.

There are not many people in the taxi lane at the entrance of the hospital, just wait for a few minutes.I and my mother stood there speechless, when a taxi drove over

The door of the car has been opened, and Mi Zhi is still standing there and has no intention of getting in the car, "What's the matter, aren't you going to get in the car?"

"I'm sorry, Mom. I think I'd better go back to my own house—"

"Is it still like this? Even if that person is not there. You are really loyal." There are patients waiting for the bus at the same time, and everyone stands very close.The mother's Kazuko didn't say anything embarrassing, and she got into the car alone and closed the door, as if acquiescing to Mizhi's decision.

I returned home alone, the home of myself and Natsuki Takahashi.But there was no one else in the family.She is not missing.I know exactly where she is, but I have no way to bring her back, so I can only wait here alone.

So lonely, was Nazuki like this before?Alone in this handsome but bleak house.There was no sound, it was terrifyingly quiet.Not a single lamp will turn on for itself.There is no food full of love, there is only a bento in a convenience store.Then fell asleep alone on the sofa.
