However, this feeling made him feel like he was abducting a lone lamb.
He is that big bad wolf.
Chapter 127 Tenderness
After finally getting home, Yuta Kijima felt that the bruises on his back must have swelled up. Although the work of moving equipment was not very tiring, the process of going up and down the stairs would involve the muscles in his back, which still made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
"I am back."
Yuta Kijima opened the door and said something softly.
"Yuta, where do you keep your alcohol?"
Kato Megumi immediately walked in from behind.
Seeing Kato Megumi already standing in the living room searching around, Kijima Yuta knew that she couldn't wait to check his injuries.
"..."
"Yuta! What are you still spacing out for?"
Noticing that Yuta Kijima was still standing at the door without reacting, Megumi Kato puffed out her cheeks slightly and glared at him.
He should have just rested at the school clinic, but instead he had to go all the way home. I wonder if walking such a long distance will worsen Yuta's back condition.
"Ah, oh, it's in the first-aid kit under the TV cabinet," Yuta Kijima said with a smile, then walked over and sat down on the sofa.
Hearing him say that, Kato Megumi squatted down and started searching in the TV cabinet.
"Found it! Yuta, lie down on the sofa first." Kato Megumi held up a medical kit as if she had found a treasure, glanced at it, and urged Kijima Yuta to obediently lie down.
"Then I'll lie down?" Yuta Kijima glanced at Megumi Kato.
Upon hearing this, Kato Megumi stared at him intently, her small face serious, and said earnestly, "Of course! I wonder if you have any unseen injuries on your back? If they get infected and linger, it could be a big problem!"
"Uh, okay."
Seeing Megumi's serious expression, Yuta Kijima quickly obeyed her instructions and lay down on the sofa.
He casually took off his coat and tossed it aside, then lay down, enduring the dull pain in his back.
At this moment, Kato Megumi couldn't hold back any longer. A look of heartache appeared in her calm eyes, but she still forced herself to remain calm and said...
"The wound doesn't look too serious..."
"..."
Kato Megumi sat down next to Kijima Yuta, understanding that this was all an undeserved misfortune that Yuta had suffered while protecting her.
Yuta Kijima didn't care at the moment. He had worked so hard to train his body so that he could bravely stand up and protect the people he cared about when there was danger.
However, thinking back to that dangerous moment, Yuta Kijima felt a chill run down his spine. If he had arrived a moment later, he would have suffered for a long time.
"?"
Kato Megumi looked at Kijima Yuta, who was lying on the sofa, with a puzzled expression. She shuddered, thought for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Are you alright? Is your back starting to hurt again?"
"..." Kijima Yuta was a little unsure how to explain, because if he revealed what he had been thinking, Megumi would feel guilty again.
He quickly nodded, "Ah, yes, it's starting to hurt. I wonder if it's because I suddenly relaxed...?"
As he said this, Yuta Kijima felt incredibly embarrassed, as if he were deceiving an innocent young girl.
"Wait a moment, I'll get some alcohol to disinfect it for you."
Kato Megumi quickly found the alcohol in the first-aid kit, took out a cotton swab, poured some alcohol into the cap, and then said softly, "It might hurt a little now, Yuta, you have to bear with it."
"Uh-huh."
Yuta Kijima nodded with a pained expression. It still hurt a bit; he hadn't expected to even break a piece of skin.
Kato Megumi dipped a cotton swab in alcohol and slowly approached the wound on Kijima Yuta's back. "Then I'll begin."
"It hurts a little, just bear with it."
"..."
Yuta Kijima was a little speechless. Something felt off about this; something just didn't sound right.
"……hiss!"
Feeling a burning pain from the wound on his back, Yuta Kijima broke out in a cold sweat, and the muscles in his back involuntarily tightened.
Kato Megumi looked at him, her expression tense, and said nervously, "Are you... alright?"
She knew that applying alcohol directly to the wound would be very painful, but there was no other way at the moment. However, thinking that she had been injured to protect herself, Kato Megumi felt a little guilty.
Yuta Kijima replied, "It's alright, Megumi, you can continue."
"Well," Kato Megumi paused, then said, "okay."
……
Yuta Kijima lay on the sofa, turned his head to look at Megumi Kato beside him, blinked, and asked, "Is it over?"
"Hmm...it's only just begun."
Kato Megumi casually agreed, put the empty alcohol back in the first-aid kit, and took out a bottle of medicine for treating falls and injuries.
Holding the medicine, she looked at Yuta Kijima's injured back and said through gritted teeth, "Then I'll continue to massage the swelling around Yuta."
Next, she had to do it herself. Even though she had mentally prepared herself for what she was going to do, she still couldn't help but panic when she saw the injuries with her own eyes.
After all, the pain from pressing on the wound is hard to bear.
"OK."
Yuta Kijima nodded, his expression relaxing. Having gotten through the alcohol, the rest wasn't so painful, especially since it was Megumi giving him a massage...
Seeing that Kijima Yuta was already lying down, Kato Megumi gritted her teeth and directly placed her hand on the bruises and swellings on his back, using the ointment in her palm to massage them.
"hiss……"
Although he had prepared himself mentally, Yuta Kijima still couldn't help but cry out when the pressure was suddenly applied to his wound.
"It shouldn't hurt too much, right? I didn't use much force..."
After massaging it for a while, Kato Megumi bit her cherry lips and asked with a worried expression.
"It's alright, I feel much better. Megumi's technique was quite good..." Yuta Kijima endured the slight pain and didn't say anything that would worry Megumi, nodding in agreement.
She should have switched to using her own strength. After applying the medicine to the lying-down Kijima Yuta for more than ten minutes, Kato Megumi was also running out of energy, but remembering that it was because of her own injury, she persevered.
Realizing that the massage on his back had slowed down, Yuta Kijima thought for a moment, then immediately sat up from the sofa, put on his clothes, and said gently, "That's about enough, Megumi should rest for a while."
"No...it's okay."
Noticing that Yuta had propped himself up and put on his clothes, her face became even more serious, because she had just finished applying the medicine and if the clothes scratched him, all her previous work might be wasted.
She hurriedly waved her hand forward and looked at Yuta Kijima, "Yuta, don't do this! If you don't apply the medicine properly, the wound might get infected!"
Chapter 128 (You can skip this part if you're angry)
"Huh?" Kijima Yuta was taken aback. He didn't feel anything wrong with the wound on his back. Anyway, it wasn't a serious injury, and he didn't feel anything unusual after putting on his clothes.
"Yuta!!"
Seeing the reckless Yuta Kijima, Megumi Kato pursed her lips, unsure how to calm her agitated feelings.
You just finished applying the ointment, and you're already putting on your coat...
Honestly, how can Yuta be so indifferent to his injuries...
Seeing Kato Megumi's anxious expression, Kijima Yuta finally snapped out of his daze.
He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, after you applied the medicine, I feel that the wound on my back has healed a lot."
Kato Megumi was about to urge him to lie down, but when she heard Kijima Yuta spouting such careless nonsense, she immediately got a little angry, her eyebrows furrowed as she looked up at him.
Their eyes met.
She raised her eyebrows and said seriously, "Yuta! This is not a time for jokes. If the wound gets infected because it's covered by clothing, then it won't be a simple matter."
"I'm explaining the seriousness of the situation to you very seriously right now!"
Kato Megumi had completely lost her usual composure, speaking in a rigid and unwavering tone, her insistence seemingly appearing out of nowhere.
"..."
Seeing Kei's serious expression, Kijima Yuta started to get a little nervous.
I never expected Hui to look so scary when she was angry. Is this really the Hui I used to know?
Fear... that was the first word that came to mind for Yuta Kijima at that moment.
However, before she could even begin to feel that way, Hui murmured softly again.
"Look at you! Right now is the time for you to rest and recuperate, but you still refuse to listen to advice."
At this moment, a hint of anger was revealed in Kato Megumi's eyes. Despite her usual quiet and friendly demeanor, it was only because no one was worth her emotional investment.
Seeing that Yuta still seemed clueless, she quickly got angry.
As things have progressed to this point, Kato Megumi has realized that Yuta won't listen to him unless he explains the facts to him with a serious expression.
"Uh……"
Yuta Kijima was a little embarrassed. He slightly averted his gaze from the girl's serious expression and sat on the sofa, awkwardly scratching his cheek.
Kato Megumi felt a slight pang of annoyance. She said softly, "If I hadn't been wandering around the equipment room and bumped into the shelf, you wouldn't have suffered this undeserved misfortune..."
Yuta Kijima scratched his cheek and said, "No, no, Megumi, this... this is something I was willing to do, or rather, it's fortunate that I was able to appear at the crucial moment."
"Hmm..." Kato Megumi paused for a moment, then asked softly, "Yuta, is the injury on your back... really alright?"
Despite still having a back injury, he still tends to act impulsively.
She couldn't help but glance again at the somewhat flustered Yuta Kijima.
Thinking back to her assertiveness earlier, she found it quite amusing.
"I feel a little better." Looking at Megumi, who was gradually calming down, Yuta Kijima couldn't help but stare at her. It was a feeling that was completely different from usual, but at least it didn't feel bad to him.
"But the wound on my back seems like it needs more ointment to heal," Yuta Kijima muttered, looking away silently. "After all, I can't reach my back myself..."
Indeed, he couldn't reach the injured area on his back without someone's help.
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl nodded very seriously, without showing any impatience.
