"Nngh.." I slowly opened my eyes. I turned to face Kokichi, when all of a sudden..
"Boo!" he said, as he poked my cheek.
"WHA- Kokichi! You're awake?"
"No shit, Sherlock. Now come on, let's get the day started." He tried sitting up and getting off the bed.
"What are you doing? You're not fully healed, lay back down." I grabbed his shoulder and he flinched.
"Ouch! Don't do that, it hurts." he said.
"Oh, so-"
"That was a lie."
"Just lay down and rest Kokichi."
"No way, I'm totally fine!" He climbed off the bed and tried standing up, but he nearly collapsed. Luckily, I caught him just in time. I put him back on the bed and crossed his arms.
"I'm not a child, dumbass," he said.
"You're acting like one right now," I replied. "Kokichi, what exactly happened for you to end up in this situation?"
"Oh, you see.." he scratched his head. "The supplies that the monsters at Mount Rosia drop are extremely rare and useful. I was hoping that if I could get some, maybe it'd help you out. But.. I guess I wasn't strong enough."
"You did it for me..?"
"Just kidding!" He laughed and I glared at him. He nervously trailed off and his eyes pointed towards the floor. "Okay, maybe that wasn't a lie.."
"You're so annoying.." I leaned back in my chair. "Don't go there alone ever again, got that?"
"Awh, is Shuichi worried about me?" he teased. I rolled my eyes.
"Of course I'm worried, Kokichi." He froze for a couple seconds and then chuckled slightly.
"Oh, that reminds me," I opened up my inventory and took out the red flower. I gently held onto his hands as I gave him the flower. "You had this when I found you."
"Huh?" He looked at the flower, then pulled his hands out of my grasp. "It's just a stupid flower.. you didn't need to keep it."
"Whatever you say.." I rested my head on my palm. "If we can't make it pass Mount Rosia, then we're not ready for the castle. Which means.." I sighed. "Kaede's gonna have to wait a little longer.."
Kokichi laid back and faced towards me. "Shumai, you keep mentioning this Kaede girl. Could you tell me more about her?"
I sighed. "She's the most beautiful and intelligent girl I've ever met. She's always been extremely talented, winning several piano competitions.."
"So she's a piano freak?"
"Don't call her that.."
"You really like this girl, huh?"
I blushed a little. "Yeah, you could say that.."
"Mr. Saihara's in love~" he poked me again.
"What about you, Kokichi? Have anybody to tell about from the real world?"
He sighed. "You know what's funny? I actually went to the same school as Miu. We got trapped here because we were playing the game. Together."
"You two were friends?!" That's unexpected.
"Not really.. The only reason we were playing together was because we were gonna.. compete? We were really competitive. But that didn't go well, you see."
"Oh.." I said.
Suddenly, Kokichi got up. "You know, I'm feeling better already. How about we get out of here?"
"No, I already said Kokichi, you're not-" before I could finish, Kokichi got up, and ran out of the room. "What the hell.. Kokichi, get back here!"
As I ran out, I passed by Mikan, who had a shocked, worried expression and as still as a statue.
"Kokichi, stop right now! This is extremely dangerous!" I shouted.
"Try and stop me!" he laughed, as he ran away.
Soon enough, we made it back to the cottage, and Kokichi jumped on my bed.
"That's my bed..." I said. He rolled his eyes.
"You're bed is closer to the door. I'm exhausted."
"Should've thought about that before you decided to run all the way here.." I sat down on the bed next to him. "You're so weird."
"I'm not weird."
"Whatever you say.." I looked at him. "Are you sure you're fine? Your injuries looked really serious."
"You don't have to worry about me, Shumai," he smiled. "I'm just someone who's helping you reunite with your crush. It's not like it matters."
"It does matter, Kokichi," I said. "We're friends, I'm worried about you.
We sat in silence for a while, then Kokichi suddenly yawned.
"I'm gonna take a nap. Don't bother me."
