"Ugh..."

I felt dull pain in my body and Ichigo woke my eyes.

The vision is blurred and dim, with a familiar ceiling in the eye.

Apparently he was lying down and felt a little weight over his belly.

My whole body, especially my head and right shoulder, hurts terribly.

"Good, have you noticed"

Looking at the ceiling as it was, he was called from above his head.

I saw Zirconia smiling as relieved and finally realized that I was being put to sleep in a futon in my own room at Balin Mansion.

"That, Mr. Zirconia... I don't know..."

"Oh, please still lie down. It hurts when you move suddenly."

When Zirconia said so, she gently put her hands on a good head.

Gauze was applied to the lateral head and fixed with medical tape.

Ichiyoshi stays blurred and stares at her like that.

"Oh well, the cabin did collapse... oh yeah, what about Mr. Barletta!?

"... Kazla?

When Ichiyoshi tried to wake herself up, she heard voices from her belly.

When I looked over at you, I saw Reese and I were trying to stick her into a good belly covered futon.

Its eyes are bright red and swollen, leaving traces of tears on its cheeks.

"Kazlah!"

That's what Reese shouted and hugged him for good.

"Yes, I am! Reese, it hurts! My shoulder! My head!

"Yeah, yeah!

"Oh."

I don't mind being stuffy with the pain, and Reese is crying and clinging to it.

Then there was a rushing sound from the living room, and Barletta jumped into the room.

I have a sachet with something in my hand.

"Mr. Kazra!

"Mr. Barletta! Good, you're safe...... you are!? Leese! Get away from me. Seriously!

"Oh no!

"Look, Mr. Kazra is in pain, so get away from me. If I faint again, it's gonna be tough, okay?

When Zirconia grabbed Reese's shoulder, she slowly let him walk away from the good.

Watching how it was, Barletta lowered her back to a good pillow with a relieved look.

Her face is a little rough, but from what I've seen, she doesn't have any trauma, and she looks fine.

"Mr. Barletta, were you okay? Are you hurt?

"Yes, thanks to Mr. Kazura for sheltering me... but because of that Mr. Kazura... I'm so sorry"

With that said, Barletta laid down in tears.

"No, there's nothing wrong with Mr. Barletta. Were the other daughters okay?

"I had some minor injuries, but about a scratch because the roof was mostly straw. But Mr. Kazura seems to have hit a falling pillar..."

"Ugh, are you serious? So if you've had enough injuries, you're making money."

"Barletta, lend it to me"

When Zirconia received the sachet from Valletta, she removed the needle and thread from the inside.

"Mr. Kazra, can you wake up slowly?

"Ah, yes. Say..."

Wake up slowly as you give Zirconia a hand.

My shoulder hurts terribly, but it doesn't seem to be broken.

"You're not accompanying a doctor to the garrison unit, so I'll suture your wound instead. It's not that big of a scratch. It'll be over soon."

"... What!? Sewing is that bad!?

"It's not terrible. I'm just cutting a little bit. One needle is enough, so don't worry."

"Yes, no, I can handle it myself. It's okay. Tomorrow morning, but back to the other side of the world."

When Ichigo answered, Zirconia looked worried.

"Really? It's been a long time since I cut it, and I think you should sew it right away...... if you sew it slower, it'll heal slower, and it'll leave a mark, right?

"Ugh... Mr. Barletta, what time is it?

"Uh... it's probably about 3: 00 in the middle of the night"

That being said, Ichirano thought of the distance from the Japanese mansion to the nearest general hospital.

You'll probably get there in about an hour and a half by car, but then you'll be on an emergency outing at night.

An extra thought came to my mind, such as whether I could go to an emergency outpatient at night with a wound that would require a single needle.

That's what Zirconia says, and concludes in herself that if it's going to be okay with one needle anyway.

"Well, has Mr. Zirconia ever done a wound suture?

"There are many times. That kind of scratch is before breakfast."

"... Well, I knew I'd ask Mr. Zirconia, it would only take one needle, wouldn't it?

"Yes, you'll be done in a minute, because you can remove the thread in seven days. Okay, come here."

Zirconia said so, pounding her own knee.

Put your head here, it seems.

……

"What's wrong?

"Yes, no. Excuse me."

I cheek on Zirconia's thighs, even though I'm a little thrilled by the unexpected expansion.

Zirconia pressed her good head and turned her face slightly back down to point the wound upwards.

"Reese, will you hold my head so I don't move?

"Yes!

"Barletta rides Mr. Kazra's body. Hold your shoulders with your hands, knees on your arms and press them against the floor."

"Okay."

"What!? Um, no big deal, right?!? You'll be done soon, won't you!?

Zirconia gently stroked her good head as she raised her voice unexpectedly to the noisy instructions.

"Yes, it'll be done in a minute. It's just a head wound, so it may only hurt a little when you put the needle in. It's a precaution, just in case it gets busted."

"Dear Zirconia, this is disinfectant."

"Thanks. Let's get started, shall we?"

Zirconia stained the new gauze with disinfectant and gently pressed it against the wound.

"Tell me!

"Just a little, please be patient"

That's what I say, tie the thread through the needle hole.

"You sew. Eat up your teeth."

"What!? Hey...... Aww!!

The feeling of a bump was conveyed to my head, as well as a hell of a lot of severe pain struck me good.

Until then, the thrill I had felt on Zirconia's knee pillow swept away far away, smothered by pain and reflexively powered into my arms.

A severe pain ran to his shoulder, which was held by Barletta on the clap, and he clapped in stuffiness.

"Mr. Kazra! You can't move!

"Kazura! Good luck!

"I'm here!! Seriously, he said it wasn't getting spiffy!

"I'll pull the thread."

"Damn, I need that live!?

Zuzu and yarn are pulled, further severe pain strikes a good.

The crinkling zirconia tied the thread and the wound suture was terminated.

He is released from restraint and weakened with his face on Zirconia's knee.

"Yes, good luck. Wouldn't have been long, would it?

"Ugh... it hurt a little, but it hurt to death"

"Hehe, you're exaggerating. You hit the gauze."

"No, seriously... tell me"

To a good head whose breath was also resting in a constant manner, Zirconia quickly bandaged her when she hit the gauze.

I stroke a good head that's still loose, okay, okay.

"Shall we stay like this for a while?

"Oh, su, sorry! I'll be out in a minute!

"Oh, you don't have to hesitate"

"Oh, Mother!

"Hehe, it's a joke, a joke"

I get up with my hands on Reese and Barletta and turn to them again.

They all looked like they were still in their personal clothes and they didn't even take a bath to see me.

"I'm sorry to bother you. It's all right now, everyone. Rest now."

"Okay. Wake me up if anything happens...... both of you, what's wrong?

A risen zirconia leans her neck against two people who don't want to move.

"Me, I'll be by Kazla's side tonight. You can rest, too, Valetta."

"Yes, no, then I too..."

"Until just now I've been asleep, but you've been awake, haven't you? I'll wake you up if anything happens, so take a break."

"... Yes"

Barletta nodded in an unspoken tone about the presence or absence of Reese.

Ichigo hastily opens his mouth to the way it looks.

"No, I'm really fine, so go to sleep, too, Reese. You look tired."

"I can't sleep like this."

"Even so, he told me to lie down."

"Kazura, please..."

……

He was also given a crying look, and Ichigo asked Zirconia for help with his eyes.

Zirconia has a troubled face and looks to Reese.

"Reese, Mr. Kazra is tired too..."

……

Reese did not answer and grabbed a good piece of clothing silently.

Zirconia breathes in on the look of it.

"Excuse me, Mr. Kazra. Will you stay with me tonight?

That's what they said, and Ichigo turned his attention to Reese, wondering what was going on.

Reese is holding onto her good clothes so hard that her fingers turn white as she leaves her nagging eyes in tears.

"... ok"

I had no choice, and when Ichigo nodded, Reese looked up a little.

My mouth is a letter to and I'm going to cry again now.

"Then we will rest, won't we? Barletta, let's go."

……

"Look, Barletta"

"Yes......"

Encouraged by Zirconia, Barletta followed as she was pulling her hair back.

The drawer is closed and the room is silent.

When Ichirano moved his gaze from the door to Reese, his eyes met Reese, who stared at him with tears.

As soon as that happened, Reese jumped into my chest.

"Hey, Reese..."

"Ugh, kazla, kazla..."

To Reese, who cried out blurry again, Ichigo stopped his nearly lifted hand trying to grab his shoulder.

Reese is pressing her face against her chest.

"Don't cry so much. 'Cause I'm fine."

"'Cause you were bleeding a lot, huh? I can't wake up all the time, and if Kazura dies like this..."

Kazura stroked Leese's head, crying, okay.

I was amazed at the half-sided, unimaginable attitude from the usual Reese, who was so happy that he was so worried about me.

"He said he wouldn't let you die so easily... what happened to these hands?

Notice how many bandages are wrapped around Reese's palms and fingers and touch those hands.

"Except for the rubble in the cabin..."

……

"When I was at home, it sounded amazing from the outside, and when we all ran to those who screamed, the cabin collapsed..."

You remember that time. Reese shivers her shoulder again.

"My rescued daughter said there was a rash inside... so..."

"I'm sorry. Let me worry."

I stroke my back pompous as I refrain from Reese crying out as I sneeze again.

He was Reese, who kept crying, but when he stopped crying a little, he looked up.

"... one, may I ask?

"Hmm?"

"There, what were you doing?

"Hey, what..."

Reese stares at the unintentionally good eye.

"To me, something I can't teach you?

"... no"

Ichiyana shook her head when she saw Reese staring in tear-wet eyes.

"I was talking to Mr. Barletta. About Mr. Zirconia."

"You mean your mother?

Yiliang snorts at Reese, who looks unexpected.

"Yesterday, when Reese was taking a bath, he asked me to give him the same power that the people of this village had. So I was worried about what to do, and I talked to Mr. Barretta."

"What power... huh? It was Kazura's fault that she was so powerful and quick."

"Hmm, what are you talking about?

"Me, I train swords and spears in the courtyard every morning, and I've only had that girl deal with me once. She said she only had about three months of experience, and then she had power, and the reflex nerves were amazing, so I thought it was crazy."

"Did that happen?"

"Yeah, it was amazing. I thought they'd kill me."

"Hey, wait a minute, what kind of training did you do?"

"Hmm... just a form of training"

"How come they're about to kill me with form training..."

"Hehe, why not?

With a subtle expression, Reese laughs and answers.

"... well. I was talking to him."

"Hmm?"

Trying to look at Reese's face, which was puffy and crumbly, Reese slid her face across her good chest to escape from it.

"... you wanted me to tell you too"

"... sorry"

When YiLiang apologized, Leese put a little effort into her hand grabbing YiLiang's clothes.

"Kazura..."

"Yeah?"

"... yeah, it's nothing after all"

"What do you care?"

"... sorry"

"Yes, no, it's fine."

Reese held it tight and kept her mouth shut.

I don't know what to do with Reese, who has become soggy again, and she shuts her mouth still.

"... until morning, can I stay like this?

After a while, Reese said that.

My face remains on a good chest, and I cannot see the look on its face from a good.

"No, my body hurts and this attitude has always been honest and tough. Sleep in your own futon."

When Ichiyoshi answered, Reese smiled all the time.

I'm relieved of the way it looks.

A little, but you seem to have regained enough energy to laugh.

"Well, just a little more. Please."

"... oh"

Neither of them opened their mouths then, and Leese eventually fell asleep as she was.

He also hesitated to wake him up and let him go back to his room, so Leese let him sleep in a good futon as he was, and a good one fell asleep against the wall as well.
