[Blue Archive] Abydos' Suicidal Hopeful

Contract (Part 2 End) EP.56

"I'm home, Hoshino. How's Sora...?"

"...."

"...Uhe. S-Sensei... Th-this is, um..."

A little while later, Sensei opened the door and entered. He saw us and his mouth fell shut.

'...Well, that's a normal reaction, I guess.'

It's understandable.

Because I was lying down with Hoshino right now. With my face buried in her stomach, to be exact.

Really... It wasn't like me.

If you ask me why I'm doing this... how should I put it? My body hurts, so I longed for human warmth... I just wanted to do this.

"Haa..."

"Hyaa?!"

Plus, seeing her reaction every time I exhaled was fun, so I didn't let go.

'...But I should stop now.'

I can't do this all day, and I don't want Hoshino to catch my cold.

'Ah, I should tell her that first.'

My whole body aches and I'm dizzy because of the cold, but as they say, strike while the iron is hot. If I don't say it now, I might hide it again... Yeah, I would definitely do that.

So I pulled my face away from Hoshino's stomach and said to Sensei,

"...Sensei, could you... cough! cough! ...leave for a bit? I have something to tell big sis..."

'...Damn, now my voice is hoarse...?'

It seems like I'm getting worse as time goes on.

"R-rather than that, it's better to go to the hospital..."

"...Please..."

Sensei seemed to think the same as me and wanted to take me to the hospital as soon as possible, but when I earnestly asked him, he said, "Only for five minutes..." and he left.

"Sora-chan...? What did you want to tell me...?"

"...."

'...Yeah, let's say it...'

I feel like I'm getting worse, so before I collapse, before this determination fades away,

"...Haa...Hoo..."

I slowly inhaled and opened my mouth.

"I'm... sorry... for leaving without permission..."

'But I still think being locked up was a bit too much...'

"...Uhe, if you say it like that, I can't even scold you... really..."

Maybe it was because of my sincere apology. Or maybe it was because I was sick. She smiled gently and patted my head.

"Don't do that again, okay? Sora-chan gets hurt whenever I take my eyes off her."

"...I can't deny that."

"So, is that all you wanted to say? Then let's go to the hospital now? Sora-chan seems to be getting worse."

"...Ah, no, um... I have one more confession to make..."

"Honestly, this is the main thing..."
