Chapter 107 – Sorry for the Worry (2)The treatment on my back and Gasara"s shoulder was done almost at the same time.
I got off my bed and turned my right shoulder around to check on the pain and movement.
“It"s just a first-aid measure, so don"t push it too hard. The pain is minimal thanks to the potion, without it, the injury is at a level where you should be bedridden.”
“Yes. Thank you very much.”
The paramedic who treated me smiled and lowered his head, and immediately jumped to the next injured person.
The inside of the community center"s gymnasium seems to be a collection of people who evacuated and are sick or injured.
I looked around and saw a line of small children and elderly people, accompanied by their relatives.
The s.p.a.ce where Gasara and I were being treated seemed to be a place to give priority to the seriously injured, but there weren"t many people here.
I"m probably the most seriously injured person here.
“Kunpei-san. How are you doing?”
“Kunpei, are you okay?”
Aoi, who"s been waiting next to the bed, was anxiously watching my face.
Rouge was clinging tightly to her back.
Aoi and Rouge, who had just recently had an emotional reunion, hugged each other and made a lot of noise, then read the atmosphere around them and became quiet.
Well, everyone around us were all people who were confused or injured by this incident.
You"ll stick out like a sore thumb if you act like that in such a place.
It"s a good idea to have the two of them be a little more patient with the reunion, because there are still people who haven"t been able to confirm the safety of their families.
“Ah, it"s difficult to move.”
“Well, that"s expected with an injury of that extent… why don"t we go to where Jaja and Nana is?”
“Hmm. I also want to go.”
Rouge nodded as she draped her arms over Aoi"s shoulders and rested her chin on Aoi"s head.
“Well then, let"s go. Is the nap room this way?”
I wish I could charge my smartphone. I have to call my dad and Mik.u.ma.
“What about you?”
“Ah? Me?”
Gasara replied back as he put on that distasteful golden down jacket.
“I"m meeting up with my siblings. I"m hurt, so I"ll probably be sent to guard this place, but I have to work.”
No, haven"t you been working hard enough?
“Don"t you get a break? Aren"t you tired?”
“My brother would have a field day with me if I talked like a kid like that. I"m just starting out, but I"m still a professional. I"ve got to do what I can do.”
“I see, then I"ll help you later…”
“No!”
“Whoa!”
Aoi suddenly shouted loudly, interrupting me.
Her face turned red and she hugged my arm.
”You were just told not to push yourself! Kunpei-san, you"re not a Hunter!”
“Okay, okay. Sorry!”
“It just came out of my mouth unconsciously when I was thinking about how hard it is.”
So don"t put any more strength on my arm!
It"s. .h.i.tting me, or rather, it"s being sandwiched between something soft!
Small but certainly soft!
“Thanks for your concern. But it"s a professional"s job from here on out. You need to protect your girlfriend and your family.”
“It"s not girlfriend, it"s wife!”
Still clasping my arm, Aoi corrected Gasara"s words with all her strength.
“O-oh?”
Gasara tilted his head.
“I"m Kunpei"s wife! Don"t make a mistake!”
Yup, her usual habit came out.
Aoi is strongly committed to her position in any case. Not a girlfriend or sister, but "wife".
When we go out shopping or for dinner together, people often mistake her as my sibling, friend, or girlfriend, but in such cases, she always corrects them that she is my "wife".
Like the case with the paramedic earlier, most people are either confused or shocked, or they laugh it off lightly.
I"ve already warned her a few times.
I told her not to do it because if someone suspects our relationship, she might be revealed to be a dragon if we"re unlucky.
Still, Aoi loses control of herself sometimes.
As if to say she doesn"t have any worth other than that.
Of course that"s absolutely not the case.
She"s Jaja and Nana"s mom, and Aoi herself is incredibly kind and hard-working.
She"s also a beautiful girl, and she"s a dragon.
She has minimal contact, but she also has a good relationship with the neighbors.
She"s much more amazing than me, but she"s somehow lacking in confidence.
”Do you get it! I"m Aoinoun Dragoline Kazamachi! I"m a full-fledged wife of the Kazamachi house!”
“ah, sorry.”
“It"s fine as long as you get it!”
“Aoi, calm down.”
“But Ru-anesama…”
“There, there.”
With a snort, Aoi hugged my arms tightly again.
Behind her, Rouge was still clinging to Aoi"s back and was patting her head to calm her down.
What"s with this composition.
“Ah, Aoi. I get it, so let go.”
“Absolutely not!”
Ugh, her upturned eyes is so unfair.
Aoi reluctantly released my arm.
“… Kazamachi, I have something I want to say.”
Gasara grabbed me by the shoulders and whispered in my ear.
Gasara looked down at me with a serious expression.
This guy is taller than me, so it feels oppressive when he looks down at me.
“Come here.”
“H-hey, what is it?”
He pulled my arm gently and brought me to one end of the gym.
Aoi and Rouge also followed with a strange expression.
”… Ah, I just want to talk to this guy alone.”
Gasara grimaced when he saw Aoi and the others following.
Seeing his reaction, Aoi and Rouge looked at each other and reluctantly moved away.
”Alright. Um, Kazamachi, I"m just speculating, and it might be terribly rude, but you can feel free to hit me without holding back then.”
“Ah? What the h.e.l.l?”
After making sure the two of them were gone, Gasara let go of my arm and scratched his mane.
”Hmm. Umm.”
What is it? Gasara, was hesitating about something, and was paying attention to the surroundings or looking at Aoi and Rouge.
“Hey. I have someplace I want to go to, so make it quick.”
I"m dying to see my girls" faces.
If you keep fidgeting like that, it"ll seem like you"re having some dangerous throughts.
I"m not interested in men at all.
“Ah, okay.”
Gasara straightened the collar of his down jacket and straightened his back.
He looked straight into my eyes, and there were all sorts of emotions swirling in his eyes.
Determination, resolve, fear, confusion.
I"ve been trained to read people"s emotions to a certain extent.
Ever since junior high, the only people I"ve been around since then have been the ones who approached me while hiding their true intentions.
Some of them approached me with stupid ambitions or sleazy ulterior motives, while others were scared to death of me, but they had no choice but to interact with me. Of course, I would have to be able to read their emotions from their expressions.
In that respect, I think Makio is amazing.
Makio was brave enough to stay by my side in spite of how cowardly he is. And he was able to hide it from me.
Right now there were multiple emotions intricately intertwined within his eyes that it was difficult to understand.
“Hey, Kazamachi.”
“What?”
Can you just get to the point?
“Your girlfriend. She"s the dragon from that time, right?”
Oops.
Ooops.
That"s bad now, isn"t it? Gasaraio-san.
