Chapter 40: Kato Megumi: You... take off your shirt!
Realizing that Yukima Azuma had only been helping her with the cramp earlier, Eriri now felt full of regret.
Especially when her gaze accidentally shifted slightly.
When she saw Yukima Azuma's shoulder.
Her feelings of regret surged even more.
It was the wound she had bitten earlier.
Clearly, Yukima Azuma had come to help her, even though the process was a bit messy, but she shouldn't have hurt him.
"I'm sorry..."
Eriri wanted to apologize.
But as soon as the words came to her lips, she couldn't bring herself to say them.
It was truly her foolish pride.
"Alright, I'm leaving now."
Yukima Azuma didn't wait for Eriri to gather enough courage, just waved and walked away.
Seeing Yukima Azuma leave.
Eriri opened her mouth, but in the end, said nothing.
At this moment, her heart was filled only with a bitter feeling.
"Yukima-san, why were you still at the sports field earlier?"
Kita Ikuyo's words caught Eriri's attention.
"Kita-san, what are you talking about? Aren't we in the physical education test?"
In response to Eriri's confusion,
Kita Ikuyo pointed towards the sports field.
"But the boys have already finished their outdoor exercises, right? Look, there are no traces of them on the field anymore."
Eriri looked around.
Only a few girls remained, running on the track.
In that moment, Eriri felt like a part of her heart was lost.
That feeling was indescribable.
"Sawamura-san, are you okay? Do you need some water... Uh, where's the water?"
Noticing that Eriri wasn't okay, Kita Ikuyo tried to comfort her.
However, Eriri just shook her head, staring blankly at the track.
So, that person, could it be that they were specifically watching over her on the sports field?
Could that person have already noticed that she was trying so hard to get good results?
Tears welled up in Eriri's eyes.
Because there were still people around, she did her best not to cry.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
Earlier, that person had called her "Eriri."
'Eriri has a cramp, come help me...'
He had said that.
In her panic, he hadn't noticed anything else, just called her Eriri.
Eriri placed her hand on her chest.
The feeling of "I have to do something" spread within Eriri's chest.
"Kita-san, can you go with me to the nurse's office?"
.....
On the other side.
Yukima Azuma quickly returned to the edge of the sports field.
Kato Megumi had clearly been waiting there for a long time.
"Yukima-san, where did you just go...?"
Kato Megumi asked softly, but her sentence trailed off halfway.
"Ah, sorry, there was a bit of a situation earlier. Anyway, do you want some water?"
Yukima Azuma offered her the bottle of water he had brought with him.
But Kato Megumi didn't respond.
Following Kato Megumi's gaze, Yukima Azuma looked down at his shoulder.
"Ah, this? It was just a little mishap... but it's nothing serious."
Yukima Azuma tried to explain.
However, when Kato Megumi stared at him like that, he couldn't help but feel a bit guilty.
Although Kato Megumi's expression didn't change.
Yukima Azuma felt that her calm eyes were now looking at him as if very sternly.
Kato Megumi looked at Yukima Azuma for a moment.
Then, she grabbed his arm and dragged him off the sports field.
"Come with me, I have a first aid kit in my bag in the classroom."
"But what about your 800-meter result, Kato-san?"
"What about it? Just fill in a number on the board, no one will notice anyway."
"Then... is Kato-san mad?"
"You imagined it."
She was definitely mad.
Realizing this,
Yukima Azuma obediently let Kato Megumi pull him back to the classroom.
At this point, the classroom was empty.
Kato Megumi pushed Yukima Azuma down onto her seat.
Yukima Azuma looked at this girl, seeing her take out a small white first aid kit from her bag.
"Take off your shirt."
Her voice was gentle, but unusually heavy.
Yukima Azuma really wanted to ask Kato Megumi, "Aren't you embarrassed?"
But under her stern gaze, he obediently took off his shirt.
Under the school sports jacket was a fairly well-proportioned body.
When wearing a white shirt, it was almost impossible to see.
But when it was taken off, the clear, sharp lines appeared before their eyes.
After all, Yukima Azuma had been training continuously for over a year.
Although he didn't have overly impressive muscles, he still had a fresh, fit look, the kind of handsome that everyone liked.
It was the "looks skinny in clothes, but has muscles when the shirt is off" kind of physique.
Kato Megumi paused for a moment, seemingly unable to take her eyes off him.
While the fitness data could give some clues,
actually seeing it, really...
Kato Megumi's bobbed hair gently swayed, and her small ears turned slightly red.
The atmosphere in the classroom became a little "tense".
"Impressive…"
After a brief moment of admiration, Kato Megumi forced herself to shift her gaze to Yukima Azuma's shoulder.
Kato Megumi took out a bottle of alcohol and a cotton swab from the first aid kit.
"It might hurt a little, try to endure it," she said, then began wiping the blood off Yukima Azuma's shoulder.
After using the alcohol to clean most of the blood,
the wound on Yukima Azuma's shoulder finally became visible.
It was four small scratches.
The wound wasn't very deep.
It looked as if it had been slightly scratched by the cat's sharp teeth.
Looking at the wound,
Kato Megumi showed a look of confusion.
Yukima Azuma smiled awkwardly.
Luckily, Kato Megumi didn't continue to ask questions.
After disinfecting, she applied a hemostatic ointment and finally placed a band-aid over the wound.
"Oh, thank you so much, Kato-san. To repay you, can I let you touch it?"
Yukima Azuma pointed to his abs.
He was trying to make a joke to break the somewhat awkward atmosphere.
The result...
"Eh, can I? Well, then I won't be polite."
Kato Megumi said, and since she was looking down, Yukima Azuma didn't see the expression in her eyes.
The girl extended her small hand and touched Yukima Azuma's abs.
How did it feel?
Both of them could distinctly feel the friction, both feeling a little embarrassed with their hearts racing.
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the classroom door.
Both of them jumped in alarm.
