The chili peppers Hanabi bought are really spicy. Uesugi Sakura saw the wound on their thumb oozing blood, and fell silent.
"Ah, big brother is bleeding!" Aei said, pattering to the hallway, tiptoeing on a small stool by the cabinet, opening the drawer to take out a pack of band-aids, then ran back to Uesugi Sakura's side and reached out her hand.
"Here you go."
"Let me wash it first." Uesugi Sakura said expressionlessly, putting the wound under the faucet.
"What's going on?" Hanamaru Hanabi, who was teaching Chiaei to cook, turned her head to ask Uesugi Sakura at the sink.
"Big brother cut his hand while chopping chili peppers." Aei, holding a long string of band-aids, said to both of them.
Chiaei automatically filtered out Aei's odd words, but Hanamaru Hanabi was puzzled for quite a while.
Being cut by a knife and covered in chili peppers, to say it doesn't hurt would be a lie.
"Hanabi, bring some vinegar over."
"O-Okay."
