Vol 4 Chapter 2 (1/2)
Chapter 7: Kotori Conference
What filled her vision was a scene as though she had seen hell itself
The usual residences and streets were engulfed in a sea of crimson flames Whether it was the houses that were parallel to each other, the trees that were located on her usual way to school or the vegetation in the park, everything that was fla flames without exception, one by one they were reduced to charcoal and ashes
Accoration, were the screa humans, and occasionally, a loud sound akin to an explosion would be heard
(What……is this……?)
Witnessing a scene that was so surreal, Origami could only let out a dazed sound
A less action She did not move when she said those words, it was obviously not a wise thing to do
However, one should not criticize her for doing such a foolish act It would be too irl to quickly understand the current situation
That's because on her return trip after buying groceries, the streets that she saw before she went off had co different She could only kneel down on the spot as Origami tried to calm down
Suddenly——At this ami's eyes snapped open
(Dad, Mom……!)
That's right Dad and Mom should still be at home
The instant she res she was holding, sprinting back home
Even if a s, ami, as in extreme confusion, was unable to make such a deduction She could only sprint down the streets which had greatly changed since a few hours ago
After several ami who had finally made it back hoami's house rapped in the same crimson flames as the other houses and she could barely make out black shadoithin the flames
(How can this, happen……)
It was not like she did not think of it But even so, until she saw thement of hope However, it's impossible like this——
(——!?)
After that, Origaave a jolt The door to her home, was kicked aside from the inside
And from there, her father with his forehead full of sweat, walked out while carrying her mother
(! Dad! Mom!)
Origa for the two of them
(Y, you've coami!?)
(Are you hurt? It's dangerous here Hurry up and escape!)
Saying that, her father extended his hand towards her and walked closer
Origahted by the fact that the two of them were alive Tears strea that, she stretched out her hand in order to grasp her father's hand——
(————Eh?)
Suddenly, Origa had happened
The instant Origaht seemed to shoot down from the heavens
A strong shockwave followed, and Origami's body was thrown into the air
(Ah……!)
After flying several hed a few ti her sides to hurt a lot
It was painful enough for her to break out in tears However, she was more concerned about her parents' safety She was barely able to resist the tears, turning to look at where she flew from
——However, there was no one left The ground where Origa into so like a mini-volcano
As though wriggling, she inched closer
After that
(Ah, aa……ah……Aaaaaaaaah——)
Looking at what used to be her parents on the ground that was gouged away, Origa sounds
Her eyes felt an overwhelh the world had been twisted A crirey colors of despair was corroding Origami's consciousness
Why How Meaningless questions floating around her head, continuously circulating as she could not get an answer
(——)
Origaht that burned her parents to death To deterin
And then……her body, was once again unable to move
(An Ang——el……)
Dazedly el
Of course, she realized that it was so that should not exist in this world But there was no other word that Origami could use to accurately describe the existence before her, that was a fact
Pain blurred her vision, she was unable to properly see clearly, but that thing in the air definitely had a human shape
Floating in the air as though surveying the burning streets, a slender outline ——It was probably, a young girl
That figure used her hand to touch her head, causing her body to slightly tremble
That was, instead of la them
(It was you, huh……)
——To Dad, and Mom
The latter half of her words were unable to even co fists, grinding her teeth, hatefully staring at the angel that was dancing a out a voice that was full of curse and hatred
(I, won't forgive you……! Kill……I will kill you……! I——will definitely……!)
At thisher two eyes in surprise
”……, ……”
Although she had been sleeping the whole ti was erratic
After Origaet her rapid heartbeats under control Air with a slight hint of disinfectant circulated inside her nose and lungs
Having gotten her breathing under control, Origas
A white ceiling, white walls From the corner of her eye, she saw a rack that was probably used to hang an IV drip
I in the JSDF hospital where she usually got medical care Furthermore, it was a personal room specially prepared for her
”…………”
Wordlessly, she wiped her forehead Her head had been carefully wrapped in bandages, but it had gotten wet due to perspiration as she slept Of course, other bandages aside from her head as well as her hospital clothes et as well Origa them dry
Usually there shouldn't be thissleep……It could be, because of the dream that she had just now
Five years ago The scene where Origami's parents died
The nael, was soon known to her
Special biological calale-handedly created by that nonhuman existence
However——This night tiain?
”——!”
Reami held her breath
Recalling why she was here
”shi+dou……!”
Calling out the na with a spirit on the rooftop, Tokisaki Kuru pinned down
She was extremely concerned about the safety of shi+dou and Mana, as well as Kurumi's motives (there was a lifefore, but it would be better if she did not notice it at all) Since Origaht was high……However she could not deduce any further In any case, she needed information
Origa to search for her ulped
While Origami was pinned down by Kurumi's clones, as Kurumi walked closer to shi+dou
From the sky, an unbelievable object appeared
”The Spirit……of Flame……!”
Origaure that was reflected into her eyes, speaking in a voice that was dyed in hatred
The Spirit of Flao, the spirit who set fire to the residential district Nankou-machi
——Appearing in front of Origami's eyes was the spirit who killed her parents
”I've found you Finally……”
For five years she had searched non-stop for her enee even if it h it was coincidental, Origami had finally found it
Her heart beat rapidly and her breathing that was under control after ed Her sorroas finally coh her head
But……why, there was so amiss The spirit of flames who appeared on the rooftop——freet>'s face, coo, was somehow different
But as the probleure out why Origaetting off the bed Wearing the slippers that had been set aside, she stood up
It can't be helped if she can't think of it now Since Origami was moved into here, that must mean that Mana should also be inside the hospital If she's here, she ht know more in-depth information
Origaht dizziness as she stepped forward——but stumbled back onto the bed due to the drip that was still on her arm
”It should be……here”
shi+dou cohtly
The words [JSDF Tenguu Hospital] ritten Looks like this is the correct place
”That girl……I really hope she's okay……”
Yesterday, Mana as the first to arrive to shi+dou's aid had faced off against Kurumi, and had her time stopped by Kurumi's Zayin[The Seventh Bullet] She should have suffered severe dae
He heard that she had been transferred into the nearest JSDF's hospital, so he specially came to visit
Entering the door, he walked up to the reception counter
”Excuse me……”
”Yes, is this your first time for a medical examination here? Normally you would require a recommendation……”
When shi+dou began a conversation, the female receptionist spoke
”Ah, no I'm here to visit someone May I ask in which roo in?”
”Takamiya-san? May I ask if you are a family member?”
”That is……yes, that's right”
shi+dou mumbled as he nodded
That's correct Takamiya Mana is shi+dou's real sister ……She should be
While shi+dou did not have an exact ……If he were to deny it here there's no doubt that he would be questioned about their relationshi+p It's better to just agree for now
”Please hold on for a moment”
The female receptionist manipulated the computer with experienced hands
After several seconds, she widened her eyes in surprise, looking at shi+dou once more
”That is……I'm really sorry, Takamiya Mana-san is currently in a special treatment room We have to reject all visitors”
”Eh……!?”
shi+dou involuntarily let out a sound
”Is, is she in danger?”
”Who knows……They don't release detailed information to us……”
”However if it's faht to——”
”I'm extremely sorry……Currently for the treat extreulations for us to explain them to outsiders……”
”How can this……then, may I please ask a favor of you? At least let me take a look……”
”E, even if you say it like that……”
The receptionist made a troubled face And then——at that instant
”——shi+dou?”
Fro around in wonder, he saw that a girl in a patient's robe stood over there, leaning on an IV drip stand
”Origami?”
That's right His classht there
Long hair extending to her shoulder, a girl with a rather attractive doll-like face Her forehead rapped in bandages, plasters were pasted onto her slender limbs
Origah of relief Despite having no change in expression, it felt as though she finally relaxed
”Are you alright?”
”……Nn, nn”
How to put it, to have someone directly ask and worry about himself, he felt somewhat embarrassed He scratched his face and turned his face aside
However Origa to speak
”What about Yatogami Tohka?”
”——!?”
He got a shock due to Origaami
It was understandable Tohka and Origaue the ami would be concerned for Tohka as well
It could be that Origanized her as a class to understand Tohka He felt happy soeratedly nodded his head
”Nn, Tohka is alright as well”
”Tch”
”Eh?”
”It's nothing”
For an instant, the cool Tobi+chi-ojousama had shown an expression that was not hers, but he was definitely thinking too much Determined that it was so, shi+dou bitterly smiled
”B, but, why are you here The patient wards should be one floor up right?”
Origaaze did not shi+ft as she replied
”In order, to know Mana's ward ——And shi+dou?”
”Nn……So that's why I'm the same, I came here to visit Mana”
”I see To visit?”
”Nn, nn, that's right”
”Only Mana?”
”……That is……A, also to visit Origami……”
”Is that so”
Origaed as she spoke But why, it somehow feels like her mood has improved ……His conscience hurt a little
”Well then, where's Mana warded at?”
”Ah, nn……froery, therefore we are not allowed to ht now I can only ask of her to……”
”……, if it's like that, then waiting would probably be useless”
”Eh?”
”Even though I can't explain in detail, but they should be using extreery No one is allowed to meet her until she is moved to a common ward You would be restrained if you attempt to enter by force”
”……”
shi+dou's eyebroitched Highly classified equipment That would most likely be the Realizer for medical purposes Reine had indeed mentioned that they would be used in this hospital
The Realizer that had the technology to turn ihest secret Hence it was understandable that there would be such a reaction
”……I understand, I'll come back tomorrow”
After Origaed ……She just kept staring into shi+dou's eyes
A long period of time was spent in silence
It was disastrous to be standing right in the h he understood that doing so would bring inconvenience to everyone, but how do you put it, he had lost the opportunity to do so
Sweat kept pouring from his face as he squeezed out a line with much difficulty?
”U, u back to your room?”
”I'”
”I, is that so Then I should go back too……”
And then, as shi+dou was intending to walk out of the entrance, Origami suddenly Pata!, bent her knees and fell to the floor
”Ori, Origami!? Are you okay?”
Hastily crouching down, he grabbed her by the shoulders and helped her up It seemed that she hurt herself when she fell down, her nose and forehead were red
Because of the exaggerated fall, the staff and patients around thea at shi+dou
”I can't return to my room by myself”
”…………”
”Accompany me back”
”……That's……”
”Accompany me back”
”……I, I got it already”
shi+dou nodded in surrender
”Then……can you walk by yourself, Origami?”
”It's difficult”
”……Is that so Then wait for o borroheelchair”
After that, as shi+dou planned to stand up, Origa,
”Uu, is so the matter?”
”I don't like wheelchairs”
”Eh? Why?”
”I will get carsick”
”…………”
Will so wheelchair in the flat hallway of a hospital?What exactly is an ASTabout? Although there were a lot of things that he wanted to ask, shi+dou decided not to talk about that for the moment
”Th, then what should I do?”
”Carry me”
”Haa?”
Unable to iami's mouth, shi+dou couldn't help but question back
No, actually this solution had already been within his expectations……But how to put it, he never iami
”Carry me”
”Th, that's……”
”Carry me”
”…………Alright”
Realizing that resistance was futile, shi+dou turned his back to Origa herself into shi+dou's back It was hard to i her niht be more honest to say that his back had been possessed than to say that he carried her
”Uu……”
Carrying Kotori who fell asleep in the living rooirls……But as expected, this soht than Kotori, a softness unique to girls was accurately transmitted ——To put it in words, it somehow felt as if she were closer than she needed to be
”……Origath there?”
”Nothing of the sort”
Saying that, Origahter Her breasts, which were covered by a thin patient's goere forcefully pressing themselves into shi+dou's back
”Uu, gu……”
Froa particularly well……However its close co shi+dou felt his face burning, and frantically shook his head in order tothe IV drip stand connected to Origami's wrist
”Th, then……Origami Where's your room?”
”The west building Third floor Room Number 305”
”Okay——I understand”
shi+dou nodded to show his understanding, and started to hile pushi+ng the IV drip stand with one hand
Following the directory sign, walking past the hallway between theAfter that——
”Waaah!?”
When they were about to reach the connecting hallway, shi+dou irl-like sound
Origa around shi+dou's body as though trying to lick his entire body
”Ori, Origami It's itchy……”
”Is that so”
Saying that, Origah of relief, once again he started to walk
Reaching the west building, they took the elevator to the third floor, walking forwards as per Origami's instructions
So teased
However, Origami's two arms were still wrapped around shi+dou's neck shi+dou felt that so was off as he frowned ——The reason was quickly discovered: acco of so down his neck
”Ori, Origami……!?”
Hu—Ha—Hu—Ha—
”Wait a moment……”
Hu—Ha—Hu—Ha—
”Hey hey……”
Showing a troubled expression, he turned his head around However
”Hyi!?”
At this instant the back of his neck felt so that was beyond his expectation and shi+dou couldn't help but jolt
Even though her two hands were notstroked, a tickling sensation
”What!? What did she just do to me!?”
shi+dou finally got his chaotic brain under control, sprinting to the designated Ward nuami on the bed that was inside
”…………”
After Origaion around her lips for some reason
”Haa……, Haa……”
Even though he had only walked for a short distance and Origaht couldn't be considered to be that heavy, he felt abnormally tired shi+dou leaned on the wall for quite a while as he readjusted his breathing
After approximately a minute, he observed the room with his heartbeat finally calmed
It was a roohly three tsubo, a bed, cabinet, television and chairs were furnished, there was probably a previous visitor as the vase on top of the cabinet had flowers in it and the basket had apples placed inside
”That……Then, Origa now”
Then, as shi+dou said that, Origarumble
”? You haven't had your meal?”
Origami nodded in reply
”That so……Should I help you get a nurse over?”
”…………”
However Origa the apple that was placed on the cabinet
And then, taking the fruit knife that was also placed inside the basket, handed them both to shi+dou
”Peel it for me”
”Eh? Aaah……alright”
He has no reason to reject her demand if it was just this shi+dou sat on a nearby round stool, accepting the apple and fruit knife, placing that basket on his knees and then started to peel the apples
To shi+dou who frequently cooked in the kitchen, this was an extremely easy task Not even a hths and then to line them up on a nearby plate
”Alright, will this do now?”
Saying that, he passed the plate over to her However Origaht and did not extend her hand for the plate
”? Why, Origami?”
”Feed me”
”Wha……”
shi+dou stoppedover the plate and his shoulders trembled for a er Faking a cough, he opened his mouth
”No…You are able to do that at least this right?”
”I've been told to avoid strenuous activities”
”But you alking around freely with that drip stand of yours just now”
Origa her mouth with an ”Ah——”
”……, really now……I guess I don't have a choice”
Picking up a piece of apple whilst sighing, he brought it to Origah she were genuinely surprised
”If you can't move your hands then at least move your mouth——”
”……! Don!”
It somehow felt as if his words were left unheard That's because Origa his sentence
Origami looked at shi+dou as she ate half of the apple piece, chewing away and sing it down She see half in shi+dou's hand, herup
”Uh, here you go”
And then, once shi+dou handed out the apple slice——Origa with shi+dou's fingers
”Uu!?”
This was totally beyond his expectations He involuntarily made a sound in shock
”Ha, haha……are you a natural airhead?”
shi+dou gave a weak saers In that instant, shi+dou's wrist was tightly held, preventing it fro withdrawn
”Eh……? Eheh!?”
”…………”
Ignoring shi+dou's surprised screaht and started to lick shi+dou's fingers Lick Lick lick Lick lick lick Suck suck Kiss Suck
”Hey, hey, Origaami-san!?”
shi+dou yelled in a high-pitched voice and his hands started to flail about in panic, finally escaping froa thread of saliva extended out ……What an erotic scene, shi+dou's face couldn't help but turn red
”Thank you for the meal”
Origa her head in a bow shi+dou wiped his hands while his face had perspiration all over
”Is……it okay now?”
shi+dou had just ended his sentence when Origami pointed to the top of the cabinet
”That”
”Uh?”
Looking in the direction Origami had pointed There was a simple electronic thermometer placed
”I need to take my temperature”
”Aaah, is that so”
shi+dou took the therami did not reach out and take it
”Uh, what's wrong? Didn't you want to take your temperature?”
”It's difficult to do it by myself I hope you can help me”
”Haa?”
shi+dou frowned as he questioned back
”N, no no no Don't you have to just place it under your arm?”
”Excessive exercise”
”……Alright alright, I understand”
So taken for a ride, but it can't be helped shi+dou sighed as he took out the ther
”Now that you said it……how exactly am I supposed to help take your teht?”
”You sit over here”
After shi+dou questioned in surprise, Origami, Don Don, patted the bed
”Ah? Aaah……”
shi+dou tilted his head and sat at his designated spot, Origah she were being hugged from behind by him It was coincidental that their positions were now completely opposite from just now
”! Ori, Origami……?”
He could vaguely see her snohite nape aps between her hair shi+dou's eyes started to wander
However Origaown, revealing her chest
”……!? Wh, hhat are you doing Origami!?”
”When Tokisaki Kurumi transferred into our school, shi+dou you were attracted to her by her actions”
”Eh……Eh?”
”I've deduced that being aggressive is effective”
Origaht hand that was holding onto the theruided it to her left armpit
