『それは平和でした...すべてがそうでした。』

It was a peaceful Friday afternoon. We just finished our afternoon training and was about to go home.

"What's taking Kenma too long?" Tora asked, walking back and forth the gym. "Lev, go check on him."

"E-eh? Why me?"

"The changing room's too far, so you can go there faster with those long legs, right?"

"B-but it's too far, and I'm tired..."

"Just think of it as a post-training to make you an ace." As soon as I said that, he threw his bag on the floor and ran as fast as he could to the changing room.

"That kid," Yaku scowled as he picks up Lev's bag and brushed the dust off. "He's such a simpleton."

"That's why it's easy to make him do things, don't you think- ack!" I winced in pain.

"Don't make Lev do so many things, geez," Yaku said after slamming his hand on my back. "He's not like Kenma, but he can still get pretty tired, you know?"

"Uhm... speaking of Kenma-san..." Shibayama's voice went up out of the blue. "Don't you guys notice anything strange with him?"

"Strange?" Kai looked up, holding his chin. "Well, he does get tired faster these days. But other than that, there's nothing different about him."

"Y-You see, I saw Kenma-san once coug-"

"KUROO-SAN! YAKU-SAN! EVERYONE!" All of us flinched when we heard Lev's voice. "HELP! SOMETHING'S UP WITH KENMA-SAN!"

We looked at each other, probably unsure if we heard it right.

"Kenma..." Kai mumbled. All of us knew what that means...

"Let's go."

... to go to Kenma as fast as we could.

"KENMA!" I yelled before arriving in front of the doorway. "What happened?"

Kenma as lying down on the floor, facing the wall. Lev's right hand was on Kenma's mouth as he cough, and his left is rubbing Kenma's back.

"Kenma-san... h-he-" Lev showed me his hands full of blood and petals of...

"Wisteria floribunda?" My eyes widened. "K-Kenma, you..."

"Did he eat it? It's poisonous!"

"N-No... He coughed it out..."

"No way..."

"Hanahaki?" Kai searched for his water bottle inside his bag and went to Kenma. "Can you move?"

"H-hn..."

"Alright, I'm going to lift you up, okay?" Kai held Kenma's back to make him sit, and now he's facing us. "Drink this."

He looks horrible- his blood smeared all over his face and neck, mixed with his tears that are continuously falling down his cheeks.

There's no time to stand around. I pulled out my extra face towel to wipe it away from his face. "Kenma, can you breathe properly?"

"H-hn..."

"I-I'll call coach!"

"Kenma-san, are you okay?"

He replied with a single nod, slowly waving his wand back and forth, telling us to not worry about him.

"Silly, how can we not?" I asked, folding my towel and started rubbing it gently on his face. "You're literally coughing blood."
