Chapter 154: Chapter 154: No Treatment for the Protagonist
The little girl, Asano Nazuki, rushed to the Hayakawa family’s exclusive sanatorium like a madwoman, where Shirakawa Sawahei was sitting by the bed peeling an apple for Hayakawa Kashi.
One must admit, the apples specially supplied by wealthy people’s hospitals are indeed exquisite, thin-skinned, big, and luscious. Shirakawa Sawahei was not satisfied after peeling one and was preparing to peel another when he suddenly noticed a cute girl’s silhouette standing at the door.
Upon seeing the little girl’s silhouette, Shirakawa Sawahei was startled at first, then realized what was happening.
It was obvious that the younger sister had come looking for her older sister. The Hayakawa family’s people are quite efficient.
He stood up and made room for the little girl, and Asano Nazuki didn’t care whether Little Bai was present, she just clenched her fists and charged over.
Hayakawa Kashi had bandages wrapped around her head, and she looked at her sister calmly. The little girl stared at her for a moment, her body trembling slightly, and couldn’t help but angrily say, "Hayakawa Kashi! Are you crazy?"
"I thought you were really dead!"
"Spreading false rumors out of the blue! It’s better if you’re dead, saves me from being annoyed by you all the time! And you steal my things!"
Shirakawa Sawahei could clearly see that the little girl’s tense body relaxed entirely the moment she saw that Hayakawa Kashi was alive. However, it seemed this little girl still wanted to put on a tough front in front of her sister.
Seeing this, Shirakawa Sawahei silently put down the apple in his hand and left the sanatorium ward.
Let’s temporarily leave the stage to this awkward pair of tsundere sisters, I’ll go get a drink of water.
As Shirakawa Sawahei closed the door, Hayakawa Kashi finally said softly, "I was indeed assassinated."
"I just got lucky and survived."
That understated phrase "got lucky" seemed to contain endless peril, and Asano Nazuki’s small body trembled with anger as she said, "Just keep relying on your luck! Let’s see if you have such luck next time!"
"When you die, I’ll definitely be the happiest one! By then, I’ll inherit the Hayakawa family! Let’s see how you regret it underground!"
Hayakawa Kashi looked at her sister with clear eyes. Strangely enough, although they usually couldn’t stand each other, after walking through the gates of hell, she found this silly sister much more pleasant to look at. Even when she called her by her name, she seemed to care less.
"Does mom know about this?"
"She’s abroad, rushing back." Hayakawa Kashi said softly, "Since the other party went to such great lengths to kill me, how could I bear to let their wish not come true."
"So you spread the news of your hospitalization?" Asano Nazuki snorted coldly, "Aren’t you afraid that if the enemy isn’t fooled, you’ll scare dad and mom half to death."
"There’s no choice; you can’t catch wolves without giving up the child." The girl’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, a hint of coldness flickered across her pretty little face, "Anyone who wants to take my life had better be ready to gamble theirs on the table."
The little girl had no doubt in Hayakawa Kashi’s ability to seek revenge. She glanced at the bandage on Hayakawa Kashi’s head and asked, "Where are you hurt? Your head?"
Her tone was noticeably unnatural, and she continued, "Getting shot in the head and still being so lively, you really are lucky."
"I wasn’t shot." Hayakawa Kashi seemed to remember something and said with a blank expression.
"You weren’t shot?"
"No."
"Then why is your head bandaged?"
Hayakawa Kashi sighed almost imperceptibly, "He pulled me, and then we ended up rolling to the roadside green belt..."
"And then I bumped my head."
"Ouch..." Asano Nazuki gasped.
That must’ve hurt...
Wait, her rescuer? Little Bai face was with her?
Could it be that the hero boy was actually that Little Bai face, Shirakawa Sawahei!
The little girl seemed to realize something and quickly exclaimed, "Wait a minute, Hayakawa Kashi! You didn’t reveal my identity, did you? That Little Bai face shouldn’t know about our relationship, right!?"
Miss Kaori glanced at her faintly, "I don’t think he’s that stupid."
"I don’t care! Anyway, you can’t proactively admit it!" the little girl persisted defiantly, "I’ve worked so hard for this long, no way I’m letting you ruin it just like that! Keep your mouth shut!"
"Did you hear me, Hayakawa Kashi?"
"Hmm?"
The girl on the hospital bed raised her tone, her gaze piercingly cold as it swept over her sister, making the little girl take a small step back, stubbornly saying, "Even if you look at me like that, I’ll... I’ll call you... sister..."
Despite the little girl’s reluctant tone, Hayakawa Kashi still replied with satisfaction, "I won’t tell him proactively."
"Promise me!"
Miss Kaori looked at her silly sister with a gaze full of sympathy and regret.
I won’t tell him proactively, but if he asks, can I not say it?
As my sister, she sure wasted her nice-looking face.
For some reason, the little girl felt that the gaze of this black-hearted woman seemed familiar... Yes! Little Bai face seemed to have looked at me with the same gaze!
How annoying, I really want to take advantage of her being injured to beat her up! She won’t retaliate after she recovers, right? At worst, I’ll run to Grandma’s to hide for a while?
...
When Hayakawa Kashi sent him a message, the little girl had already left Miss Kaori’s hospital room. He went straight in, sat back at the bedside of the study-loving princess, and continued peeling the previously unfinished apple art piece.
For a Virgo, nothing is more distressing than a partly peeled apple skin.
"Did Asano leave?"
"Yes."
"Did she ask anything?"
"She did." Hayakawa Kashi paused, "She asked how I got hurt."
Shirakawa Sawahei awkwardly lowered his head and continued peeling the apple, not picking up the thread of the conversation.
God knows why every time he wants to save Hayakawa Kashi, things deviate from the normal story route! Last time at the cultural festival, his attempt to save her ended with her dislocating, and now, after heroically blocking a bullet for her, she ended up hitting the green belt while rolling on the ground!
God, why did a green belt have to appear!
When the hero saves the beauty in other stories, no matter how many rolls they take on the ground, they’ll still finish heroically holding the female lead in their arms and ask, "Are you alright?"
Not only would they not hit a green belt, but not a speck of dust would even touch their face!
So why is it so real for me? Not a bit of novel filter at all!
If those two assassins knew about this, they’d probably cough up blood with anger. After spending so much effort, countless manpower, and resources to orchestrate such a failed assassination attempt, Shirakawa Sawahei, with no preparation, managed to send Miss Kaori to the hospital twice.
"Is your injury okay?" Hayakawa Kashi suddenly asked softly.
Shirakawa Sawahei tried to move his shoulder slightly, finding it still mostly numb. He had to say, "Shouldn’t be a problem, just can’t do anything strenuous for a while."
The bullet grazed his shoulder, raising a bloom of blood. Although it looked scary, it didn’t hit the bone. This was thanks to Shirakawa Sawahei’s previous efforts when he practiced combat skills, which had considerably improved his physical attributes. Otherwise, even a scratch of this extent would have been enough to make an average person lose the will to resist.
The terror of modern firearms is something many people don’t have a direct impression of.
Shirakawa Sawahei finished peeling the apple and glanced at the trash can filled with unbroken rings of apple peel, feeling quite accomplished.
This is what? This is the source of happiness for someone with OCD.
The apple’s previously peeled slightly showed signs of oxidation. Shirakawa Sawahei swiftly cut off the oxidized parts, then handed a slice over to Hayakawa Kashi.
Waste is shameful! I believe Miss Kaori must understand this as well.
Hayakawa Kashi watched Shirakawa Sawahei’s actions the whole time and finally gave him a strange look.
Ha, men.
In all of Neon, perhaps only you dare to feed me apples this way.
