I endured the humiliation and humiliation while being besieged by the ghost story elder sister.

Seeing that Nozomi's expression was a bit off, Asami didn't give the other two a chance to continue their mischief and quickly agreed.

"Go ahead~ If you get hungry later, come downstairs and find us. We'll be staying in the restaurant."

After saying something to the others, Xi Ling took the key and listlessly walked towards his room.

"Do you think we went too far with our pranks?"

Arisa quietly nudged Honoka beside her with her elbow and asked in a low voice.

"Probably not..."

Chapter Thirteen Serious Illness

"Ouch—why does my head hurt so much? Am I finally going to have a mental breakdown because of Arisa and Honoka?"

Hio couldn't help but mutter to herself.

In the room, to make himself feel less stuffy, he deliberately opened the windows and balcony door, letting the cold wind blow straight in.

He himself huddled in the newly made, warm bed, curled up, his body seemingly shivering from the cold.

He had only been lying down for a short while when he opened his eyes again and felt dizzy and very uncomfortable.

"I feel so tired. Maybe a good night's sleep will make me feel better..."

Downstairs at the hotel.

After drying their hair, Fanxia and her friends came to the restaurant to grab a bite to eat.

"Just tell me what you'd like to eat, don't be shy~"

Ami, who was holding a freshly opened bottle of beer, shook the contents of the bottle and spoke to Honoka, who was sitting opposite her.

Despite Ashi's good intentions, she remained sullen, which was quite puzzling. What was wrong with her?

She looked at the menu in her hand, muttering absentmindedly, "Xiao Ling didn't look well just now. Did we go too far?"

As she said this, she subconsciously looked at her accomplice, Arisa, as if seeking some psychological comfort.

However, her decision wasn't very good. Arisa, who never felt guilty about doing bad things, just shrugged and responded.

"Mio is just too tired. He should be fine after a nap. How about we have some oden instead?"

……

As dusk fell, the group of people chatting in the restaurant glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

Based on their understanding of Himio, he would only take a nap for one or two hours at most, and then he would feel hungry, come down the stairs, and find them to eat something together.

Having already drunk her sixth cup of iced oolong tea, Fanxia couldn't sit still any longer and suddenly stood up to speak.

"No, I have to go up and check if Mio is in trouble."

As soon as she finished speaking, Fanxia walked towards the restaurant entrance, leaving only Ami and her daughter Arisa sitting in their seats, staring at each other, wondering why Fanxia was so worried about Nozomi.

However, since they had nothing else to do, they followed Fanxia upstairs after paying the bill and went into the room.

Then they saw that Ximiao was lying quietly in bed, not at all like something had happened. She looked exhausted and was sleeping soundly.

"I knew it~ Mio looks great, doesn't she? You're just worrying unnecessarily, Hoka~"

She took off her slippers at the door and stepped barefoot onto the tatami mat. Ignoring what Arisa was saying, Hoka carefully walked to Nozomi's side.

She reached out and gently nudged Xi Ling in the blankets, saying softly, "Xiao Ling, get up and eat something. Take a bath later and then go back to sleep."

But she waited for a while and still didn't hear a response from Xi Miao. Moreover, she noticed that Xi Miao's face was flushed and she seemed to be in a lot of pain.

then.

Fanxia placed her cool little hand on Ximiao's fair forehead, and unsurprisingly, she felt the burning heat on the boy's forehead.

"It's so hot... Could it be that Mio has a fever?"

Arisa didn't take what Honoka said to heart at first. After all, it would be absurd if the Yuki-onna's body temperature was the same as a normal person's.

Therefore, she felt that Honoka was probably too worried about Nozomi, which was why she forgot about this matter.

But when she placed her own hand on Ximiao's forehead, her previously relaxed face suddenly turned serious.

"She really has a fever..."

Before she could offer a solution, Ami, who had been watching from the sidelines since earlier, took on the role of the only reliable adult among the group.

"I'll go and call the doctor to come and take a look at Himio."

Meanwhile, Honoka and Arisa stayed behind to take care of the suddenly ill Nozomi, their faces filled with worry.

I don’t know how long it took.

Xi Ling felt a splitting headache and her eyelids were so heavy that it was very difficult to open them.

Then he noticed that his forehead suddenly felt unusually cool, and he felt a little more comfortable.

Taking this opportunity, he quickly spoke up, trying to ask the people around him for a glass of water.

"water……"

"You want some water, right? Here you go!"

Upon hearing Ximiao's hoarse voice, Fanxia, ​​who had been staying by his side, suddenly got up and poured him a glass of water.

She wanted to hand it to Ximiao, but found that he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand, and for a moment she didn't know how to feed him the water.

Looking at the clumsy and awkward Honoka in front of her, who was still not very good at taking care of people, Arisa couldn't help but sigh and reached out to take the water glass.

Then, she drank it all in one gulp, and before Fanxia could react, she leaned forward and kissed Ximiao's thin lips right in front of Fanxia.

As it turned out, Nozomi did indeed get what she wanted and solved her problem of a dry throat.

But what puzzled him, his mind still foggy, was the origin of that soft, yielding sensation on his lips.

Shocked by what she saw, Fanxia didn't even have time to let out a sharp bang before Arisa covered her mouth to prevent her from disturbing Nozomi's rest.

Arisa, having completed her task, silently stood up, licking her pink lips with a hint of satisfaction, and gave Honoka, who was sitting opposite her, a look that seemed to say, "Go ahead and learn."

Having replenished her fluids, Hiyo's previously heavy breathing gradually slowed down, and she no longer felt as uncomfortable as before.

"Learn from this: handle special cases with special measures, although I often do that myself~"

She whispered to Fanxia, ​​whose eyes were wide and staring intently at her.

Then, he took her hand and placed it on Ximiao's forehead to cool him down.

As for the doctor, we'll have to wait until Ashi returns. I don't know how much longer the two of them will have to wait here.

Having recovered from the shock, Fanxia removed the girl's hand from her mouth and said irritably.

"I think you're just lusting after her and taking advantage of Mio!"

"I'm his official girlfriend, you know~ It's perfectly normal for me to do this kind of thing, okay? Besides, you're not Mio's guardian, don't be so old-fashioned~"

Here we go again. It's Arisa's frivolous attitude that's making her very uncomfortable. Just as she was about to give Arisa a good scolding, the girl continued speaking.

"Don't you want to try what I just did?"

"Eh?"

Chapter Fourteen Medicine

"Is that right?"

"Yes, that's right. Relax, Mio won't know."

Inside the room, sitting around the unconscious Himo in bed were two other people, Fanxia, ​​who had also drunk a glass of water but hadn't swallowed it, and looked somewhat frightened and uneasy.

But after witnessing what Arisa had just done, she secretly resolved to do exactly what Arisa had done.

then.

Still completely powerless, when Xi Ling opened her eyes, she felt a soft touch suddenly on her thin lips.

However, this time he discovered that the softness carried a hint of coolness, and the moisture it brought also added a touch of sweetness.

Out of sheer curiosity, Nozomi finally couldn't resist and wanted to see what Honoka, or perhaps Arisa, who was taking care of her, was doing.

He cautiously opened his eyes a crack and discovered that Sister Fanxia's pretty face was right in front of him.

The case is finally solved. Why did my lips feel so soft?

It seems I was taken advantage of in a vulnerable situation!

However, at this moment, Xi Ling was too weak to stop her from taking advantage of her, so she could only silently close her eyes and mentally counsel herself.

Since you can't resist it, you have to learn to enjoy it...

Hmm, it tastes sweet. Did Fanxia-nee just eat cake?

the other side.

After driving to a town near the hotel and finding a doctor, Ashi hurriedly brought the doctor back.

She would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous. After all, as a demon, and with her daughter being a demon as well, it was rare for them to get sick.

As a result, Ashi had no experience dealing with this situation and could only leave the problem to the doctor.

Inside the room, the doctor listened to Ximiao's chest with a stethoscope for a while, and then took her temperature with a thermometer.

His conclusion was then presented.

"It's probably a cold that caused the fever. Just rest and keep warm, take some medicine, and you'll be fine in two or three days."

After saying that, he left behind a box of fever reducers and antibiotics that he had prepared in his briefcase, instructed the children on how many times a day to take the medicine, and then left.

For a moment, only the seriously ill boy remained in the room with the other three people. It was very quiet, with only Ximio's slightly heavy breathing.

"So, what are we supposed to do now?"

Asi listened to what the doctor had just said, but only half understood. She held the medicine in her hand, seemingly wanting to study the instructions on it.
