Chapter 47: Everyone is Fine… Except Otto
"Shu, do you often carry people?" After walking for a while, Fu Hua suddenly asked.
Shu froze, he couldn't help but look back at Mei behind him, and then sighed, his face full of frustration.
I would rather not have this kind of experience... In the past, I barely ever left the house, and my house had almost no visitors. Even if there were any during the holidays, I would avoid relatives, let alone carry people.
Shu didn't answer, and Fu Hua didn't continue asking.
But the practiced way Shu carried people had already been imprinted on Fu Hua's heart.
It looks like Shu is a person who often carries people…
Fu Hua's heart was filled with the image of Shu smiling gently in a world of the setting sun, squatting down in front of a person, before carrying that person on his back. Then, laughing and talking, he took that person home.
"Shu, you really are a gentle person…" Fu Hua subconsciously said it out loud.
Shu: "?"
Gentle? I never thought that that word would be applied to me…
"Fu Hua, have you also been reading those weird novels with Kiana?" Shu asked. He couldn't help but think that Fu Hua might be a bit bored?
Why else would Fu Hua suddenly blurt out something so strange? She must be bored… and influenced by Kiana!
Kiana: "Also! Shu… he… ah… Achoo!"
How could she hear that?!
Shu, startled, turned around and glanced at Kiana, who was looking around, and then looked away when Kiana's attention landed on him.
To be honest, he was also a bit bored… Should he…
Shu decided against "testing them again", but not because he was better behaved, but because they had already reached their destination.
"This place… is ruined?" Mei looked at the infirmary, which had become a ruin, with a sense of resignation in her eyes. Then, she quickly wiped away her disappointment.
"No, there should still be some scattered medicine." Mei said firmly, then pulled Kiana up onto the debris. "Shu, class monitor, wait a moment! We can definitely find them!"
Shu was confused.
Why does this scene look so familiar? I remember there were a lot of medicine in that cabinet, right?
Shu stared at the debris for a moment, and quickly found the medicine cabinet. He was about to say something when he saw Kiana, who was digging for medicine with Mei, and a strange sense of revenge rose up in his heart.
Should he secretly grab the medicine first, and then say "What are you guys doing?" to Kiana?
…Forget it… It's not the time for jokes… Kiana is just naturally airheaded, but I'm not.
Shu gave up and said, "Mei, Kiana, Bronya, there is medicine over there… It's a medicine cabinet, there might be a lot of pills inside."
The three lifted their heads and looked at the direction Shu was pointing at, exchanged glances, and ran towards the cabinet.
Kiana quickly cleared away some rubble and then carefully opened the cabinet.
"Whoa!" Kiana exclaimed. "So much medicine! Shu! Bring class monitor over here!"
Shu quickly walked over with Fu Hua and then untied the rope. "Fu Hua, can you handle it yourself?"
Fu Hua paused for a moment before nodding. "The injury isn't that serious, I can handle it..."
"Bronya can help." At that moment, Bronya, who had been quiet before, suddenly said. "Bronya has studied emergency bandaging and first aid."
Shu paused, and couldn't help but slap his forehead.
How could I forget?! It wasn't just Fu Hua, Kiana, and himself anymore. Bronya and Mei were also here. Bronya knew how to use a gun, so it was normal for her to learn some first aid.
Not to mention Mei, who was a "virtuous wife" in his memories. If Kiana had any minor injuries, Mei would usually take care of her… But would Kiana have any injuries usually?
She would probably just injure others…
Whatever. Shu nodded to Bronya. "Alright, quickly treat Fu Hua. The injury shouldn't have worsened."
Bronya took the bandages and a few bottles of medicine and slowly removed the white cloth that Fu Hua had wrapped around her leg.
As Shu had expected, Fu Hua's wound showed no sign of infection. After a simple cleaning, Bronya applied medicine and bandaged the injury.
"Shu, what should we do next?" Mei turned to Shu while Bronya was bandaging her wound.
Shu, who was trying to remember the route to where Himeko and Theresa were, responded instinctively, "Of course we are going to find Himeko."
"Well..." Mei said with some hesitation, "Himeko, she…"
Mei remembered that Himeko led away another Honkai beast, and Theresa separated from them to search for Himeko. Their current situation must be worse than theirs...
I hope Teacher Himeko and the Headmaster are alright...
"Shu, where do you think Himeko will be?" Since Shu had brought up a plan, Mei, who was also worried about Himeko, could only try to help, "It wouldn't be easy for Teacher Himeko to shake off a monster… there were so many destroyed buildings along the way… Himeko probably is still nearby…"
Mei carefully analyzed the situation. And Shu realized his mistake.
Damn it, I almost slipped up!
There was no "undo" function in reality. Shu could only pretend to think about it along with Mei and reveal some "information."
Talking with Mei was always a bit tiring…
Shu sighed, "You're right. Himeko and Theresa should have already gotten away from that… monster. Now they are probably finding a place to settle down. They might be resting in a convenience store or a warehouse."
Mei couldn't help but look at Shu, and then she nodded, "It's great if the Headmaster and Teacher Himeko are already together…"
Shu was sweating bullets, and he sighed.
Forget it. It's better to be guessed than to try hiding it… It's exhausting to try to deceive them. It's better to give them some time to prepare mentally so they would be able to accept it more quickly.
Shu really didn't think they had much time left… Now the most important thing was to gather everyone as quickly as possible.
And speaking of that, Shu couldn't help but get a headache.
Otto, Otto… why do you have to make it so complicated?
