Chapter 67: Reuniting with the Person of Your Dreams
Lilia accepted the suggestion that she could read the doujinshi if she ate together with us.
And so Kashiwagi-san and I are currently eating a hot breakfast.
“Lilia, you have crumbs on your cheeks.”
” —Heh?”
I took the crumbs off of Lilia’s cheeks.
However, she also quickly becomes angry and has her face reddened.
” —! Kyu, don’t touch me! You pervert!”
“Oh, sorry. I have a sister and it’s just a habit…”
“Ah, Lilia is still a child.”
“Kashiwagi-san… there are bread crumbs all over your mouth…”
“Yeah? I don’t know, I don’t have a mirror. Yamamoto, wipe it off for me.”
“Yes, yes.”
I wiped Kashiwagi-san’s mouth with a napkin, feeling a little nervous inside.
I’ve grown accustomed to the fact that Kashiwagi-san is a beauty and a genius, but still occasionally shows a disappointing side.
When I wipe it off, Kashiwagi-san smiles something satisfying.
“And by the way, why did Kashiwagi-san bring breakfast today? Usually a male doctor is the one brings it.”
A doctor, who obviously doesn’t seem to be at the level of an errand boy, always brings food to my hospital room.
This is probably because Kashiwagi-san’s position is too high in the hospital and she is quickly able to give orders to that level.
“Oh, actually, there’s a noisy guy coming to the hospital today. I thought I’d let you know ahead of time.”
Lilia frowned at Kashiwagi’s words.
“… the noisy one? Could it be ‘that guy’?”
“Yeah, it’s him. Yamamoto knows him, too. He’s Japanese.”
“What? The noisy guy I know… or rather, I only know a few Japanese people to begin with…”
And with all that in mind.
Suddenly, the door to the hospital room opened again with a bang.
— Bang!
And the sound of a cracker bursting immediately after.
Then, out of nowhere, cheerful background music started playing.
“Ruka-kun! Congratulations on your successful treatment! You did a great job enduring all those pain! I’m very impressed!”
As he said this, a mature man wearing a party-goods big nose, mustache, afro, and sunglasses started dancing with a boombox.
The music manages to fool me, but Lilia’s eyes are dead and the air is hellish as she covers her head with paper tape that has popped out of a cracker.
“… I don’t know you.”
I immediately declared him a stranger.
It’s probably because my brain has made the normal decision that ‘I don’t want to get involved with him.
“…Are you high?”
Lilia, where did you learn such a word?
But, well, I don’t know why I would want to mutter that too.
Kashiwagi-san sighed deeply and approached the old man.
“Renji, I understand that you want to celebrate, but it’s a bit excessive. I almost called the police.”
“… Renji. Which range is… Renji? Electronic? Orange?”
It can’t be the person I admire and long for— Renji Tohsaka.
“You guys did a great job! Above all, you saved my friend’s life! I feel like celebrating this much! It’s been a long time!”
The man smiled briskly as he raised his sunglasses above his eyes.
There was no mistake, it was none other than Renji Tohsaka, Chieri’s father and a friend of Kashiwagi-san.
