I just hope to live a leisurely life in the world of anime.

...He fell into the water!

She suddenly remembered something, and her body twitched involuntarily. But the person beneath her didn't have time to turn their head and react in time. They stumbled and almost fell down with her on their backs.

Fortunately, he staggered a few steps but managed to regain his balance.

"..."

Was she rescued? At the last moment, she vaguely sensed that dark figure swimming towards her.

Still not understanding the situation, she buried her face in the stranger's back.

It wasn't that she was carefree; rather, her head was spinning and she felt completely drained.

My foot doesn't seem to hurt as much anymore.

She lowered her eyes and glanced at her dangling right foot out of the corner of her eye. A white cloth was tied into a pretty bow on the instep of her foot.

The simple bandaging demonstrated the excellent skill of the person who applied it.

"call……"

Her head began to spin, and the world seemed to turn. She blinked because she saw double.

"You can't fall asleep again. You're all wet right now, and if you do, you'll definitely catch a bad cold tomorrow!"

Winter temperatures are never ambiguous, especially here in the mountains at night.

Fortunately, someone was standing in front of her, blocking most of the wind blowing directly at her.

"We're still quite a distance from the bottom of the mountain, let's chat."

The gentle voice tried to communicate with her, but her thoughts grew heavier and heavier.

"Let me clarify, I'm not a pervert! I only took off your shoes and socks to bandage your foot because you had an injury."

"Well, as for the other side, I might have a little bit of OCD..."

The girl, drawn by his thoughts, then realized that her stockings and shoes were gone.

"I've brought them all, don't worry." An Shu had guessed what she might think, and added.

While using abilities on people or things in this world is troublesome, everything else is fine; for example, storage space is a piece of cake.

"..."

The girl still didn't answer, but her eyes noticed the uneven fabric at the bottom of his shirt.

Just a shirt

She tilted her head slightly, and sure enough...

No wonder my whole body felt icy cold, but apart from my legs, I didn't feel the cold wind blowing on the rest of my body.

"Hey, I'll take you to the hospital in a bit. Your wound isn't deep, but it still needs to be disinfected and properly bandaged."

The wound wasn't deep at all. Although it looked big and long, and there was a lot of blood, making it look scary, it was actually nothing serious. After applying medicine and bandaging it for half a month, I was back to my old self and there was no scar left.

That's why An Shu only alleviated her pain and didn't cure her directly.

It's complicated to explain how it was cured, but anyway, it wasn't a serious injury.

"But since I only recently started helping that small town down the mountain, and I don't go out much, I don't know where the clinic is. I'll need you to give me directions. If it's far, I'll have to take a taxi. I don't know if they're still open at this hour..."

It was late at night. An Shu didn't wear a watch, and her phone was at home. She didn't know the exact time, but the light was definitely getting dimmer.

An Shu waited for a while, but she still didn't speak, clearly indicating that she didn't want to communicate.

This made An Shu a little discouraged. Although it's good to be wary and keep your distance from strangers, I just saved you! And the main point is that I'm so cute! Ahem.

Perhaps the other person is just introverted and not good at communicating. An Shu didn't dwell on these minor details, which showed that keeping quiet was a bit tricky.

If we don't start a conversation, she'll probably just fall back asleep.

"Well, that..."

An Shu spoke again, ready to engage in some casual, awkward conversation. Perhaps they would become familiar with each other as they talked.

We can't just let her fall asleep, can we?

The words had barely left her lips when the girl reacted. An Shu felt a tug at the collar of her right shoulder!

It's not an illusion!

"What's wrong?" An Shu quickly changed her mind, but the girl stopped moving again.

"Are you feeling unwell? Should we stop and rest for a bit?"

My right shoulder was pulled again.

An Shu roughly guessed the meaning behind her gesture, but was still unsure, so she simply asked, "If you want to stop, could you tug at my left shoulder?"

The clothes on her right shoulder were tugged again.

The reason for that first bowel movement was...

"...Don't you want to go to the hospital?"

The clothes on the left shoulder moved.

An Shu guessed right again; that's exactly what the girl meant!

Because every time she saw a doctor in a white coat, it was after she had been bullied and injured by her classmates.

So she was terrified of the smell of disinfectant there.

For this reason, she learned to treat her own wounds very early on, and wounds are now a regular occurrence for her.

When did I start learning how to treat wounds?

It probably started after the scars on my side appeared.

###Chapter 266 The First Time I've Felt Warm in So Long###

(In art class, she was tricked into going to the toilet by three people, where she was threatened, beaten, and verbally abused. One of them took out a craft knife and looked at her mockingly.)

They say things like, "They pretend to be pitiful and seduce men everywhere," or "Why are orphans with no parents so arrogant?"

She didn't, she really didn't! She tried to explain, but all she got in return was a "daring to argue" and a slap.

The person holding the utility knife pushed the blade out, saying he was going to slash her face.

She was terrified and wanted to beg for mercy, but the blade pressed against her face prevented her from moving.

In fact, the girl with the knife was just trying to scare her. After all, she was just a middle school student, and she would never do something like disfiguring another girl.

However, precisely because they are junior high school students, they are very concerned about their image during their rebellious phase.

He pulled out a knife, his companions egged him on, and he was called a coward. In a moment of ruthlessness, the girl struck.

She lifted Karuizawa Megumi's clothes, preparing to leave a small scratch on her stomach as a way to smooth things over and save face without causing too much harm to her.

But what the girl never expected was that the other person struggled violently out of fear, causing the knife blade to accidentally pierce halfway into the wound. In a panic, the girl hurriedly pulled the knife out, but because she didn't pay attention to the angle, the wound became even larger.

They panicked and ran away, while Karuizawa Megumi remained in the bathroom, unable to get up due to pain and feeling helpless and at a loss.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later, when the get out of class ended, that a girl who came to the restroom discovered her lying on the floor covered in blood and hurriedly called for help.

She survived.

The blade that was inserted was not very long, so it did not damage any internal organs.

But how do we calculate the amount of blood lost by a girl who was unaware of the necessary precautions, had a rather serious wound, and went from the ten-odd minutes spent in the restroom, to the school clinic's inability to provide help, and finally to the hospital?

The impact is very negative, and concealing it is usually the practice of any school.

Even after discovering that she had no relatives and no guardian, half of the compensation was embezzled by unscrupulous individuals.

I spent a week alone in the hospital, and apart from the occasional neighbor who came to help take care of me, no one else showed up to visit me.

It's better to avoid trouble. Those neighbors are only helping her out of respect for her former parents and out of pity. Of course, it's impossible for them to seek justice for her.

After being discharged from the hospital, she was left with a scar.

Her once smooth abdomen and fair skin now bear an unsightly scar.

After that, she stopped resisting.

It's okay, they'll be fine once they get tired! That way they won't get hurt too much!

She learned how to protect herself.

The three girls from back then transferred to schools in other places on their own initiative, but even though there were three fewer people who used to bully her, there wasn't much change or fluctuation.

On the side, where's the wound...?

The girl's nose started to sting again.

"How can this be your family?" An Shu couldn't see her face because her back was to her, and since she hadn't made a sound, she didn't notice anything unusual about her.

When I rescued her, I checked her pockets briefly, hoping to find her phone to see if she had any family members' numbers in her contacts, but I couldn't find her phone, so she probably didn't have it with her.

It has to be said that her family is incredibly carefree, letting such a young girl go up the mountain alone.

诶

It hurts a little...

The flesh on her back, along with her clothes, was being gripped tightly! The girl didn't have many fingernails, so it wasn't too bad.

Did I say something wrong? An Shu realized.

"Hiss—"

The sound of inhaling was like crying.

If I wasn't sure before and just thought she was cold, now I'm certain!

Because a tear fell onto his neck and slowly slid down.

An Shu was certain these were tears, because it hadn't rained, and the lake water in her hair had helped to dry it. Saliva was even less likely; she wouldn't raise her mouth that high for no reason!

"Did I upset you? Then I won't say anything..." An Shu didn't know what to do for a moment, so she stopped and turned her head slightly.

At that moment, he took in the girl's expression.

Her lips were bleeding from biting them! The bright red spot was very noticeable against her pale face!
