"Ah, forget it."

"Yeah, Bokuto-kun, forget it."

The person who spoke the last sentence was Nan Xizi. Beidou didn't expect Xizi to say that, which made him curl his lips in frustration.

In fact, it is not boring to talk like this. The speed of the Cosmos is very fast, with a maximum design speed of Mach 8.8, nearly 9 times the speed of sound. Of course, it will not reach the maximum speed during cruising. If there is no emergency mission, Beidou will keep the speed of the aircraft at two or three times the speed of sound. Even so, it only takes more than ten minutes to get from Okayama to Tokyo.

Sitting on Nan Xizi, you can smell a faint fragrance. It doesn't smell like shampoo or perfume, but the fragrance of Nan Xizi herself. Nan Xizi, who is just at the age of adulthood at 18, is indeed the best time for a girl.

To be honest, Ling was a little envious. If she hadn't inexplicably turned into a 9-year-old girl, she would have been this age. She wouldn't be treated like a child, and could go shopping and buy whatever she wanted. She wouldn't be like now, when she wanted to use a light-colored lipstick, Maria would laugh at her and say she was conceited.

I am a high school student but I am treated like an elementary school student.

Nan Xizi's body was soft, and Ling deliberately moved closer. The feeling of being a human sofa was pretty good.

Nan Xizi, who noticed Lingye's movements, didn't care and hugged her tighter. It was quite comfortable to hug such a cute little pillow.

Both parties felt very satisfied.

More than ten minutes later, the Cosmos flew over Tokyo. Lingya didn't even let the plane land. After saying goodbye to Beidou and Nan, she turned into light and left the cabin. Although the Cosmos can take off and land vertically in all terrains, the noise of a plane landing around the manor is still too loud.

Ling felt a little guilty, and told Maria in the morning that she was going to the forest in the manor to take a walk to digest her food. However, she only walked for half an hour, but she didn't go home until late at night.

Fortunately, Nadeshiko came back early and discussed with Butler Mino to cover for her, making Maria mistakenly believe that she went directly to her friend's house after taking a walk, so as not to make Maria more worried.

I do feel a little guilty about hiding the truth from Maria, but some things are really not suitable for too many people to know.

Although he is not like the warriors of Ultra Star, who have to leave the Earth if their identities are known to the people on Earth, Ultraman's identity still needs to be kept secret.

Now, besides Beidou and Minami Yuko, the only two people who know her identity are Tomoyo and Butler Kenno, plus Nadeshiko, the messenger from Yawa. Apart from them, Ling does not plan to let more people know.

The so-called going to a friend's house was of course an excuse, but two days later, Ling did go to her friend's house.

Today is Tuesday, but Tomoyo did not come to class. After asking the teacher, I found out that she had taken a leave because of illness.

"Is it a cold?"

"Yes, she has a fever and it seems to be quite serious. Her mother called and asked for leave," said the class teacher, Yoshiyuki Terada.

This is the teacher's office, and Mr. Terada is marking weekend homework. It sounds serious, but it's common for children to catch colds during this season. There's no waiting in line to see a doctor at the hospital.

"By the way, Reiya, you and Tomoyo should be friends, right? Are you planning on visiting later?"

"Well, that's right."

"That's perfect. Chise won't be able to come for a week because of her cold. I've prepared this week's tutorials and notes. Please bring them to her later. She can take a look when she's not feeling well. Since school has just started, there isn't much content. Let her rest assured and recover without worrying about falling behind."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, teacher."

Ling also took the information handed over by Mr. Terada. As the teacher said, the information was not very detailed, but the tutorial was very detailed, much more detailed than the blackboard in class.

"And... never mind."

Terada stopped talking.

"Is there anything else? If it's convenient, I can pass it on to you."

"Well, it's actually about Mr. Tsujitani."

The teacher Tsujitani mentioned by Terada was the music teacher of the third and fourth graders at Tomoeda Elementary School. She was a great beauty, had won national piano honors and was sought after by the school, and was also very popular among the students.

"The city singing competition that Tomoyo signed up for is this Saturday. Mr. Tsujitani wants to confirm the list of participants, but since Tomoyo has a bad cold, she probably can't participate, right? Anyway, it's best to confirm with her in person."

"Is it a singing competition? Okay, I get it."

Although I haven't heard Tomoyo say it, Tomoyo is a member of the school choir club, so it's not surprising that she participated in the competition.

"I see. I'll check with Tomoyo."

"That's really helpful, thank you, Reiya."

Ling was already familiar with Tomoyo's house, including the security guards and maids. After school, Ling came to the door of Tomoyo's house. Without asking for permission, the head maid Sonoko took her directly from the front door to Tomoyo's bedroom door.

"Is Chiyo asleep?"

"Miss, you just took medicine ten minutes ago, so you should still be awake." Sonoko knocked on the door symbolically, and then opened it without waiting for a response. "Miss, Miss Reiya is here to visit you."

As Tomoyo's best friend, Reiya has been tacitly accepted by the master and maids in this Daidoji mansion as someone who does not require any formalities.

"Ah, it's Lingye." Tomoyo sat up from the bed.

"It's better to lie down and rest. Are you still having a fever?"

"Yeah, but I'm feeling better after taking the antipyretics. Now it's 38.2 degrees."

The fever had soared to over 39 degrees before, but now it has indeed eased. At least I have the strength to speak.

"Even after taking antipyretics, the temperature is still over 38 degrees. That's very serious. Besides, it's going to be dark soon, and the temperature will rise more easily at night." Ling also sat down beside the bed and touched the towel on Tomoyo's forehead. It was a wet towel with a purple plaid pattern, which matched Tomoyo's temperament very well.

Tomoyo is the kind of girl who makes people think of purple at first sight, as purple is an elegant and quiet color.

Ling also prefers red and white, passionate yet restrained.

The wet towel had become somewhat warm, so Ling took it off, rubbed it a few times in the basin of water next to her, squeezed out some of the water, and then covered Zhishi's forehead with the towel, which had returned to being cool.

“Is it a bacterial infection?”

"The doctor said it was viral influenza. Although the condition looks serious, as long as you take special medicine, there will be no problem."

Flu does cause a spike in body temperature. A hundred years ago, flu was one of the few diseases with a high mortality rate. But now there are effective drugs, so there is no need to worry too much. It is just a common headache.

"Lingye, you'd better stay away from me. I'm afraid the virus will be transmitted to you."

"It doesn't matter. I'm immune to all poisons."

"Hey, that's amazing."

Ling also said so, and Tomoyo believed it immediately. It is natural for a righteous hero not to be afraid of catching a cold.

She had been avoiding Lingye on purpose, but now she was rubbing against Lingye intimately.

"I feel so uncomfortable with a cold. I need comfort. As expected, Lingye is the most comfortable. Is it true that you won't be infected by me?"

"Of course...of course."

It's so funny. Lingye himself doesn't know if he is immune to all poisons, but the words have been said, and it would be too lame to let go of them.

At worst, you can take cold medicine.

Chapter 82: Chishi's Request

"Today I'm a courier, delivering a package from Mr. Terada." Lingye said as he took out the study materials, but instead of handing them to Tomoyo, he placed them on the desk next to him where the sewing machine was placed.

"These are the teaching notes for this week. Now just rest and recuperate. We'll look at them when you feel better."

"Okay, thank you." Chishi lay obediently on the bed, covered with a thin quilt.

Chiyo's bedroom is on the second floor. Unlike Ling's bedroom, which is filled with sleeping blankets, dolls, and various ornaments, there is only a single bed and a desk, and there is nothing on the desk except a sewing machine. Most of the room is empty.

There are no celebrity posters, but instead there are many pictures of Reiya, which makes people wonder who this room belongs to. Recently, there are also some pictures of Sakura.

Chise is such a special girl. She has her own hobbies. Although she is a little out of tune with other girls, she doesn't care. On one side of the bedroom is a door curtain, which leads to the projection room on the second floor. The stairs lead down to the projection room on the first floor. The entire projection room is structured upstairs and downstairs, which is very similar to the layout of a movie theater.

Tomoyo doesn't like poster stars, she prefers to use her own camera to shoot things she is interested in, and then edit and make videos. She doesn't like plush toys, she prefers to sew with her own hands the inspirations that burst out of her heart, and present one by one playful and cute, or gorgeous and elegant dresses in reality.

Perhaps because of this, even though she is so pretty and cute, she is always not very noticeable in the class. But Tomoyo doesn't care at all and has no intention of changing the status quo.

Ling also asked the head maid, Sonoko, to prepare a basin of hot water and a towel.

Use a warm towel to wipe her body. This is the method that the nanny used when she was sick before. After the hot water is wiped over the body, the pores will be dilated, which will lower the body temperature and make the body feel refreshed.

Hot water and towels were quickly brought over. Ling soaked the towel in the water, rubbed it, and then squeezed it dry.

"Ms. Lingye, let me do it." Sonoko took the initiative to say. As a maid, it was really rude for her to just stay aside and let the guest do it herself.

"It's okay. When I was sick before, Auntie wiped my body like this."

The aunt she mentioned, Sonoko and Tomoyo, were naturally mistaken for the maids of the Oshima family. But in fact, that was a matter of another world.

Chiyo was wearing a sky blue satin pajamas at home, and her skin was so white that it made people feel distressed. Chiyo was very slender, which I noticed when they took a bath together before, but at such a close distance, she looked even more slender like a doll.

[Her skin is as white as snow, and as rosy as blood, and her hair is as black and shiny as ebony.]

This is the description of Snow White in the Grimm's fairy tale, but it is also very appropriate to describe Chiyo.

"Is the towel hot?" Although Ling felt that the temperature was about the same, her skin was particularly sensitive when she was sick, so she might feel uncomfortable.

"No, the temperature is just right."

Although her body was indeed sore and painful, even her bones were aching. She felt like she had a fever and had no strength in her body. However, the warm towel wiped her body and the warm feeling did make her feel better. It felt like Reiya was like an older sister, Tomoyo thought to herself, even though she was one year older than Reiya.

"Lingye will definitely become a good mother in the future."

After all, even Chise’s mother didn’t wipe her body when she was sick.

Ling didn't care. The word "mother" was too far away from her. She had never experienced getting married, starting a family, raising a family, and raising children in any world. She was just a high school student and had never thought about such things seriously.

It took two or three minutes to wipe the whole body with a hot towel, and Ling also put the towel back into the hot water to wash it. Yuanzi was eager to deal with the dirty water herself. In any case, it was a dereliction of duty for her, the head maid, to let the guests continue to busy themselves. This time Ling had no objection and let Yuanzi take the basin away.

"Has Sakura come to see you?" After helping Tomoyo put on her pajamas and covering her with a thin quilt, Ling also brought a chair and sat beside Tomoyo's bed.

"No, about that, please don't tell Sakura that I'm sick."

Tomoyo and Ling also go to Tomoeda Elementary School, not the same school as Sakura, so it's normal that they didn't know that Tomoyo was sick. But she deliberately didn't let Sakura tell her, which was a bit strange.

Ling also thought about it and had a guess in her mind.

"Did Sakura catch your cold?"

"No, I didn't say that."

Ah, that's it.

There was no wind or rain in the past few days, and the weather did not change suddenly, but Tomoyo suddenly caught a cold. And it was the same viral flu as Sakura. She had visited Sakura not long ago, and the cause of her illness was obvious without any contact with other patients.

He deliberately hid it from Sakura because he was afraid that Sakura would blame herself after knowing it? If Sakura knew that he had infected his best friend with the disease, she would definitely feel guilty.

"Oh, by the way, Lingye, you're so close to me, you won't be infected by me, right?"

"Of course not. After all, I am, um, that." Ling was unable to explain herself clearly because Sonoko, who had just returned from dealing with the dirty water, was present.

But Tomoyo understood and felt relieved. Indeed, Ultraman was like a god, how could Ultraman catch a cold?

However, Ling herself didn't know if she would catch a cold. Even after being chosen by the Light of Gaia, she had been to the hospital before. She was not a superman, but still an ordinary earthling. So these words were mostly just words of comfort.

The room was very quiet, with only the ticking sound of the wall clock.

Tomoyo was lying on the bed. She felt very comfortable after wiping her body and seemed to be falling asleep. At this time, Ling also remembered another thing that the head teacher asked her to do.
