I feel a lot better after sleeping without interruptions. Now I am with grandpa, sipping tea and having idle chat. My temperature was back to normal and I no longer have a runny nose after drinking the medicine that Shin brought earlier.

It bothered me that Haru suddenly ended the call without saying a thing but I concluded that the reception might be bad so we got disconnected.

I'll see him tomorrow at school if he's all healed up. If not, I'll just visit their place to check upon him. It's been a long time since I went there.

The sound of the door opening captured my attention. It turns out that it was Emma and Manjiro who just arrived home from school.

They're unexpectedly early today, I thought they'll hang out with Ken for a while or something.

"You guys are early" I said and observing their strange behavior. The two of them looked...drained.

Manjiro tiredly walked to where I was and placed a bag of groceries on the table which made me raise a brow in confusion.

"What's all this?" I asked but he only told me to open it and it was a bag full of medical supplies, energy drinks, and fever patches. There was also a bag of coffee jelly that I asked him to buy.

I'm surprised he didn't forget but...

"Michi, from now on, please, just please, don't ever get sick, okay? No matter what you have to be healthy. I'll take your chores from time to time so you won't get sick." Manjiro said while I stared at him with a deadpanned look.

"What's wrong with you both? Did something happen while I was gone?" I asked and the two of them could only sigh tiredly.

Manjiro went to their room first while Emma lay down on the couch. I asked Emma what happened and she looked at me with teary eyes.

"Michi-nee-san..." She whimpered and gave me three letters that are addressed to me.

The first letter was from Tetta who was on leave because he'll be joining another quiz bee competition representing the school. The second letter was from Sei who was saying that he'll be out for the day since he'll be joining his sister for her treatment along with Keiji. And the last letter was from Hajime who is absent because of a family gathering out of town that he had to attend.

Know I know why they looked like that, there was no one to help them when me and Haru were gone. It must've been hard to look after students with just a few people.

"What about Kakucho?" I asked.

"He said he'll finish the rest and let us go home first." She said with a yawn before making her way to our room to change her clothes.

Based on the two's faces, it must be so bad. I wonder how many students made a fuss while I was gone. Guess I'll be busy again tomorrow, how bothersome.
