"Well..."
A subtle moan suddenly sounded, breaking the silence that had been wandering around.
Mahiru Shiina felt as if he had risen to the surface from the deep sea. He felt very weak, but he no longer felt as uncomfortable as before.
There is no wet feeling on my body, only a heavy feeling.
Although my head was groggy, my vision was not blurred.
"I... this is...?"
Mahiru Shiina opened his eyes with great difficulty. He felt confused for a while, and then he understood the current situation.
Only then did she realize that she was lying on a familiar bed, and the surrounding scenery was also familiar. It was a room she was used to seeing.
This is her room, and she is lying on the bed in her room, so naturally she won't feel any strange.
"... I'm back?"
Mahiru Shiina realized this slowly and subconsciously sat up.
As she stood up, a towel fell off her forehead, and she realized that her head had always been covered with a towel.
And on her body, the originally wet clothes had disappeared, replaced by the same very familiar pajamas.
When he discovered this, Mahiru Shiina's expression finally changed.
She remembered what happened before.
Even though his head was still a little groggy and his body was extremely weak, Mahiru Shiina still remembered that he was guided to the door of his house by Leo in the rain and lost consciousness in front of him.
Now, after regaining consciousness, I have returned home, lying on the bed in my room, and even the clothes on my body have been changed...
This is why Mahiru Shiina doesn't want to think too much.
At that moment, Mahiru Shiina quickly checked his body, and after a while he breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily.
Fortunately, although his body was weak, there were no strange abnormalities or traces. The thing that worried him the most probably didn't happen.
But he did return home and changed into clothes. It was impossible for him to do this.
Thinking of this, Mahiru Shiina bit his lip and struggled to get out of bed.
She dragged her slightly heavy steps, opened the door, and walked into the living room of her apartment.
Then, she saw the person who had been with her before she lost consciousness.
"Hey, you're awake."
Leo was sitting on the sofa in the living room, crossing his legs and playing with his mobile phone. When he saw Mahiru Shiina coming out of the room, he just raised his head and glanced at her, then said hello casually and continued to be immersed in the interface of the mobile phone.
He looked as if he was the master of the house, which made Mahiru Shiina feel inexplicably angry.
"... You sent me back?"
Mahiru Shiina was silent for a while before speaking.
"Who else could it be but me?" Leo responded without raising his head, his hands kept moving as if he was playing a mobile game, and he said casually, "Who asked you to faint in front of me? I can't throw you to the uncle who is responsible for guarding the door downstairs, right?"
"Oh, uncle is quite conscientious. When he saw me carrying you unconscious while I was carrying you through the door, he thought I was some suspicious person who was ready to take advantage of others' danger. He almost detained me there. It took me a lot of effort before he believed that I was your senior. It was because you were feeling unwell that I sent you back."
"By the way, he told me the room number, and I found the door key in your schoolbag."
Leo said a lot, which solved some of Mahiru Shiina's doubts, but did not mention what she cared about most.
"Then... my clothes..."
Mahiru Shiina couldn't hold it back after all, and asked this question, unable to conceal his nervousness in his tone.
Leo raised his eyes and looked at the inexplicably nervous Mahiru Shiina, and couldn't help but smile.
"I know you care about this matter, but asking about it won't change anything, right?" Leo said teasingly, "If I changed it, you wouldn't be able to go back in time no matter how upset you are. Going back to the past and changing this matter will only increase your worries."
"If I hadn't changed it, then I definitely wouldn't have found a man to change it for you, so you don't have to worry."
"So, wouldn't it be nice to just pretend that this thing doesn't exist and just ignore it?"
These words not only did not bring the slightest relief to Mahiru Shiina, but instead made her heart sink to the bottom.
After saying so much, isn't it equivalent to telling her that he actually changed her clothes?
If you are looking for another woman to change, just tell yourself directly, why bother talking so much about it?
"You..."
Mahiru Shiina looked at Leo with a look of anger in his eyes, and even put his hands on his collar subconsciously, grabbing it tightly.
"No, what's your reaction?" Leo saw it and felt speechless, saying, "If I really want to do something to you, why wait until now?"
That being said, Mahiru Shiina's mood has not improved at all, but has become worse.
She originally ran out to get wet in the rain because she was in a bad mood, but because Leo was following her all the time, she failed to stop in time. Instead, her body was damaged, and she fainted in front of Leo.
Now, although I am being taken care of, I am also suspected of being naked by someone of the opposite sex I have never interacted with before. How can this make Mahiru Shiina feel better?
Coupled with his physical weakness, he probably had a fever, which affected Mahiru Shiina's mood even more.
With all these factors added up, Mahiru Shiina felt like she was about to be overwhelmed by negative emotions, causing her caramel-colored eyes to become misty.
"Okay, don't look like you're about to cry. I'm just teasing you." Leo put away his teasing expression and said as soon as he was ready, "Don't worry, I didn't change your clothes. The janitor who followed me all the way asked an acquaintance in this apartment to change your clothes."
"The one downstairs is a kind-hearted aunt in her forties."
"Can you rest assured?"
Hearing this, Mahiru Shiina was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
"... really?"
Mahiru Shiina asked in a low voice.
"Is it true? You can find out if you ask yourself afterwards?" Leo rolled his eyes and seemed too lazy to pay attention to Mahiru Shiina. While continuing to play with his mobile phone, he pointed in the direction of the kitchen and said, "The only thing I did was use your kitchen, cook some porridge and heat a glass of milk. If I feel hungry, I will eat it myself."
"Remember to take your temperature later. The aunt downstairs took it for you when you were unconscious. It was thirty-nine and a half degrees. She also brought medicine from her home and fed it to you."
"Should I go and thank them properly afterwards?"
Hearing this, Mahiru Shiina's mood finally improved a lot.
"I know it without you having to tell me."
After leaving these words, Mahiru Shiina hesitated and walked towards the kitchen.
There was indeed a pot of porridge warm there, and a glass of hot milk beside it.
Mahiru Shiina was silent for a while, then picked up the porridge and milk and started eating in small bites.
Under the influence of hot porridge and hot milk, Mahiru Shiina felt that her body had become warmer, and her weakness had also disappeared a lot.
After eating everything, Mahiru Shiina's mood calmed down, he left the kitchen and returned to the living room.
"Well..." Mahiru Shiina looked at Leo who was still sitting on the sofa, and finally said, "Thank you for sending me back, senior Eligos."
"You're welcome." Leo finally put away his phone, looked at Mahiru Shiina with a slightly red face, and said with a smile, "It's my fault, the prank went too far. If I hadn't been following you, you might not have become like this."
"... You really did it on purpose." The last doubt in Mahiru Shiina's heart was solved, and his tone became unhappy again, saying, "Why is this?"
"There's no particular reason." Leo said calmly, "I just happened to see something obviously not right about you, so I just followed you to take a look."
"Didn't I say I'm fine?" Mahiru Shiina said a little coldly, "Senior, you are meddling in other people's business."
"Then you should be glad that there are still many nosy people in this world, so you can get home without any problems." Leo smiled and replied, "As long as I, the nosy person today, and the passers-by who came to pester you with their own purposes have the same virtue today, it is impossible for you not to lose something important."
"... That was also caused by you, senior." Mahiru Shiina seemed a little self-aware, but still said unwillingly, "If you hadn't suddenly ran out, senior, I would have planned to go home before something went wrong."
"Are you sure?" Leo glanced at Mahiru Shiina, as if he could see through her heart, and said lightly, "At that time, were you really able to be rational enough to take care of yourself, stop the loss in time, stop that kind of behavior just right, and return home intact?"
Mahiru Shiina suddenly stopped talking.
Her eyelids drooped slightly, and her caramel-colored eyes became much darker, just like when she was walking in the rain before, feeling confused and helpless.
I have to say that this Mahiru Shiina is indeed quite distressing, with an unknown sense of fragmentation.
She was originally supposed to be a gentle and kind-hearted angel, but when that angel's face showed such a look of tears, the feeling of fragmentation in that moment could make anyone feel flustered.
Maybe no one in the school would have thought of it, right? That Angel would actually look like this, showing such a helpless and confused expression.
Others may not know what is going on, but Leo knows it very well.
It's not because he knows the past of Mahiru Shiina with the memories of his previous life, but because he has paid attention to Mahiru Shiina, so he knows about Mahiru Shiina.
This made him feel inspired.
"Everyone says that you High Mountain Flower are perfect in appearance, body, mind, talent and family background, but who can imagine that under all your glamor, there is some unknown bitterness?"
Leo's words made Mahiru Shiina look at him.
His eyes were full of confusion.
