"Hey! You?" Suddenly Takumi groaned hearing Itsuki's words.
"Besides, why did you take him to Health Room, um? Is it okay for non-students to use Health Room here?" added Takumi.
"Of course I can, isn't it my aunt who is in charge of guarding the infirmary," Itsuki replied casually. "But wait! Then, what do you care, Akazawa?"
"No, I don't care. I'm just surprised, I remember he was fine when I left you with him."
Takumi started to worry about Sakurako's condition. It's nothing, what if Sakurako turns out to be the son of the mafia leader? What if Sakurako complains about it when her memory comes back what will happen? Ah, just thinking about it frustrated Takumi.
"She seems to have a fever from the rain earlier."
"Huh?! You guys playing in the rain? The two of you?" Takumi was starting to get shocked imagining it.
Itsuki nodded. "He'em. Isn't it so romantic? Letting raindrops penetrate to cool the heart. Then, take shelter under a narrow umbrella together. Walk hand in hand through the rain by hugging each other and--"
Blam!
"Stop it, Minami-san! You think you're shooting a drama, huh!" snapped Takumi. He stomped his feet on the floor and walked with wide strides out of the classroom.
Itsuki shook his head, not understanding. "Tsk tsk tsk basic, five-year-old boy!" Itsuki grumbled staring at Takumi's departure.
After only a few seconds, Itsuki saw Takumi returning to class. Still wearing a sulky face like a child according to Itsuki. Where do you want to go while the lesson is still going on?
The change in class hours, class 1F was back to being chaotic as usual. Takumi briefly saw Itsuki who was in the seat behind him.
"Since when do you care about other people, Minami-san?"
"Since you said that Rako-chan is not your girl." Itsuki's words raised a frown on Takumi's forehead.
"Chan?! Since when did you two get that close, huh?!" Takumi shouted, as if he didn't accept it.
"Since this morning," Itsuki answered carelessly. He really likes to work with other people.
"I warn you again, Minami-san! Don't approach her more than this if you don't want to regret it later, Minami-san!" said Takumi, emphatically.
"Then? What's wrong with that? You said she wasn't your girl, right? So from now on she's my girl." Itsuki spoke so lightly without any burden. As previously.
"Is this your true nature? Meet a foreign woman and then make her your girl, tsk!" Takumi looked cynically.
"Not all girls, only Sakurako!"
"Aren't you afraid that he's a dangerous person? In fact, I don't even know where he came from, Minami." Takumi tries to get Itsuki to think twice about approaching the strange girl named Sakurako.
"She's too sweet and innocent for a con man. And there's no way such silky soft hands could threaten the safety of a soul, Akazawa." Itsuki gave a rebuttal that silenced Takumi.

The recess bell rang, the sound became a refresher for the students who were tired of studying. Takumi immediately rushed to the Health Room.
His heart fluttered, while his feet seemed to deny his heart to see Sakurako's condition. However, before arriving at the Health Room, Takumi was confronted by someone who asked for help to deliver books to the library. Without refusing, Takumi immediately helped the person.
"After this, I have to see that crazy girl, somehow I feel worried for her." Takumi arranged some of the books he had brought and placed them in order on the bookshelf.
"Has she eaten? It seems, this morning she ate very little. But, what do I care? Should I buy her some food? Ah, I should have shared my lunch with her too." Takumi monologues.
In the end, Takumi bought some food menus, then rushed to the infirmary.
Arriving at the door of the room, Takumi gave up his intention to enter immediately. There was a crisp laugh that he believed belonged to Sakurako.
Takumi peeked through the gap in the door. It looks like Sakurako and Itsuki are joking around. Sakurako looked so radiant when her face was hit by the sunlight shining through the window.
Takumi overheard. It was clear that Itsuki was approaching Sakurako. And seeing that incident, made Takumi hold back his emotions.
