"I have always thought that I could succeed."
On the bench in the hospital corridor, two figures sat side by side.
Although the actions of the two people were too obvious and they had no intention of lowering their voices, considering the identities of these two people, no one among the doctors and nurses walking in the corridor had the intention to stop and listen. Instead, he quickened his pace and walked away.
"Looking at it now, I am indeed the same as those people. It's really funny that I boasted about such a big Haikou in the first place..."
Kokarasuma looked down at the pile of medicines in his hand that Keiko Hatoyama was going to take next, and suddenly said:
"Sorry, Mu Mu, I failed..."
Her tone was quite calm.
"Um."
The boy next to her nodded, then felt that this didn't seem enough, so he added:
"do not worry about it."
"You did give me a strong reaction. Now, it seems like you don't care about my efforts in the past few years..." Xiao Karasuma smiled bitterly.
"That's not the case, it's just that Keiko had expected this result. Karasuma-chan, you just failed the challenge, so don't take it to heart."
Recalling what Hatoyama Keiko had said to him three years ago, the boy shook his head.
"How can you not take it to heart..."
Xiao Karasuma sighed deeply and asked: "Forget it, Keiko-sister, you are so calm. She only has one year left at most..."
"Being angry won't do anything, and..."
And Keiko doesn’t want to see us like this.
Karasuma knew what the boy didn't say.
"So..."
She sighed again and said in a joking tone:
"With a personality like yours, you will be easily deceived by bad women in the future, and you will be deceived to the point where you even lose your underwear, right?"
"Yeah……"
"I've always felt strange since before. There is definitely something wrong with you two!"
As soon as the switch was turned on, Karasuma's complaints continued.
"You two are completely different from normal couples! I don't know what you are thinking about all day long... Machines! Yes! It's machines and puppets!
It seems normal at ordinary times, but once you really encounter a problem, one of you becomes a machine and the other becomes a puppet. You don't even look like a normal flesh-and-blood person! How weird! It’s really weird! "
Karasuma complained unceremoniously, as if he wanted to vent something in his heart.
[Machines and puppets? 】
Instead of refuting her, the boy listened to her remarks and looked down at his hands, as if he was seriously thinking about her description.
"Well, forget it, there's no point talking about it now."
Suddenly calm, Karasuma sighed again. She seemed to be sighing endlessly today.
"Don't say I'm nosy, let me ask first, what are you going to do after sister Keiko leaves? If you are a friend, don't lie."
"I will live well." The boy said this directly without hesitation.
"This is not possible, we still have to live a good life...Huh?!"
Only then did Karasuma realize what the boy said, his eyes widened and he turned to look at him.
"Is this surprising?" The boy also turned to look at her.
"Ah, no, how should I put it..." Xiao Karasuma subconsciously avoided his gaze.
She can't say, I actually always thought that you and Sister Keiko would die in love together. After all, the relationship between the two is here, and this possibility is very high in her opinion...
No, is this wooden person so open-minded?
"You didn't lie to me?" Xiao Karasuma stared at him and asked with a frown.
"No."
The boy looked away and shook his head slowly.
"Keiko wants me to live well."
Isn’t this simply not looking away? ! !
Karasuma roared crazily in his heart.
I thought it was your own idea! Was it originally Sister Keiko’s request? !
unusual! This is so abnormal!
"You guys are really broken..." Taking a breath, Xiao Karasuma said this sentence subconsciously.
"Don't say stupid things." The boy glanced.
Although he didn't say it clearly, the meaning in his eyes was already obvious:
With my ability, if I were to be bad, wouldn’t you be even more completely bad?
"Silly wood, you don't even understand it yourself..."
After sighing for the first time today, Karasumaru raised his hand and patted his shoulder.
"Although it may be rude to say this to Sister Keiko, I think Sister Keiko has some unshirkable responsibilities here...
You said, why don't we discuss it and from now on I won't call you a wood and I'll just call you a puppet? "
"what do you want to say in the end?"
"It's nothing. You won't understand it anyway. You probably still think it's the right thing to do...but it doesn't matter."
Pulling himself together again, Karasuma smiled brightly at the boy.
"Leave everything to me in the future. I will help Sister Keiko take good care of you... Of course, I will also make you return to a normal person."
"Ha...thank you very much."
Although it was still not clear where Karasuma got such motivations and ideas, the boy still nodded to express his thanks.
[So, do I seem to be someone who needs others to take care of me? 】
He lowered his head and looked at the palm of his hand.
Obviously he has always felt that Keiko and Karasuma are the people who need his care the most...
"Okay, don't think so much now, just leave it to me."
After forcibly interrupting his thoughts, Karasuma's expression seemed to be more relaxed than at the beginning.
"By the way, I will never be sister Keiko's nurse again." She said suddenly.
"When was it decided?" This really surprised the boy, and he asked.
"It was last night, probably within the next two days. After that, other nurses will be responsible for taking care of sister Keiko, and I will quit this job and officially pursue my dream!
Do you remember? Just become an actor, and then become a super famous international movie star!
Of course, things are the same in school. I will also transfer schools in the future. I won’t go to Tokyo University Medical School. I will use some of the Karasuma family’s financial skills to go directly to the University of Cinematography or other suitable schools..."
"I see."
The boy heard this and nodded.
"Is this what Keiko said?"
"I made an appointment with Sister Keiko last night. Of course, don't worry!"
Having said this, Karasuma stood up and patted the boy's shoulder hard.
"Even so, I will not abandon you! I will take good care of you on behalf of Sister Keiko in the future!"
"Little Karasuma, why do you always act like I need someone to take care of me?"
"Okay, don't think so much now. It's almost time. Let's go. It's time to deliver medicine to sister Keiko."
