I told Aoba about me being out of antibiotics.

"But no worries!" I said hurriedly, seeing Aoba's distraught expression. "I can easily get the plant and help your friend!"

I gave a cheery, close eyed smile which seemed to calm Aoba down.

"Here." I gave Aoba a small container of green leaves. "Place these under Noiz's tongue every thirty minutes to help with his fever."

Aoba nodded, taking the container from my gloved hands. I stood up and stretched my back. I then told Aoba that I'll go and fetch him a wet cloth for Noiz.

As I filled a small bin with cold water, I began to wonder as to how to obtain the plant; it was out of season for it. However, the growing season for the plant has only been over for about two weeks. Hopefully...

"...-There should be some left." I explained to Aoba. "So I'll be heading to the mountain."

"The mountain?!" Aoba exclaimed.

I blinked. "Yes. The plant grows at the base of the mountain."

"B-but it's so far!" he sputtered.

I tilted my head. "Fourty kilometers is far?"

"Yes! "

I smiled at him. "Don't worry! Because you see-!" a spark of electricity appeared where I was.

"Hunh? K-Kain, where are you?!"

I was gone with a note left in my place. It read:

I'm fast as fuck~!
