Chapter 21: 21
Not long after Kento's figure disappeared, Sawamura Eriri, who didn't know when her mother arrived, suddenly heard footsteps coming leisurely from the door.
There was no way that the sound of those relaxed and gentle footsteps could have been from Sayuri Sawamura who had heard the news that she had fainted.
Under her gaze, a woman wearing a white coat, short blue hair, and dressed so fashionably that she didn't look like a doctor entered the health room. She was holding a cup with hot steam coming out of it and a faint brown color. It should be coffee.
"Has he left already? That boy."
"Um?"
Eriri was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect the other party to mention Kento who had just left first.
The health doctor walked slowly up to her, looked down at Ying Lili who was sitting on the bed, put one hand under her ribs, and chuckled.
"When you fainted, the other person was very anxious. He rushed into the health room holding you and asked me to check you. There was sweat on his forehead and he looked anxious and concerned about you."
"..."
"You two are new students, right? You've already started dating on your first day at school? Or have you been dating before?"
"before?"
After hearing what the health doctor said and thinking about her previous dream, Ying Lili looked confused.

The season when cherry blossoms bloom: 39. I feel dizzy, and you ask me what I feel?
Sayuri Sawamura was drinking afternoon tea at home and thinking about what to wear tomorrow to attend the parent-teacher meeting at school, when she suddenly received a call from the school saying that Eriri had fainted at school.
After a brief moment of surprise, Sayuri rushed to the school. When she arrived at the school's health room, she saw a health doctor who looked a little bit conservative standing next to her daughter and chatting with her daughter.
"Eri! Are you okay? What's wrong with you?"
After entering the health room and looking at her daughter sitting on the hospital bed, Sayuri came to the edge of the bed, looked at her daughter carefully, and asked about her physical condition with concern.
"Mother."
When she was chatting with a health doctor named Takemiya about her physical condition and Kento whom she had previously mistaken for Eriri's boyfriend, a familiar voice suddenly made Eriri look in the direction of Sayuri.
While looking at her mother, Eriri's mind flashed with the scene she saw when she fainted before. Her expression became a little complicated. The look she gave Sayuri suddenly became filled with guilt and nostalgia. She lowered her head silently and fell into silence.
The atmosphere in the entire health room became subtle. Wu Jianmiao looked at the mother and daughter meeting each other. Thinking that there was some special story between them, he left the health room quietly.
As for Sayuri, she was suddenly affected by her daughter's silence. She didn't know why her daughter suddenly became silent. She slowly came to the bedside, looked at her daughter sitting on the bed, and observed her carefully. From the outside, she didn't see anything wrong.
"Are you okay? Eriri."
"There's nothing wrong with my body, I'm just a little tired. Teacher Takemi checked me just now and there's nothing wrong."
"Do you need to go home and rest? Why not go to the hospital for a physical check-up? If there is anything wrong..."
Hearing her mother's caring words, Ying Lili felt complicated. She slowly raised her head and met her mother's caring gaze. She wanted to ask something, but after a moment of silence, she lowered her head.
"No problem. It's the first day of school now, so it's not a good idea to go home anyway. If you want a physical examination, you should wait until after school."
"I understand. Then let's go to the hospital for a checkup after school."
Looking down at her daughter, Sayuri stretched out her hand, placed it on Eriri's soft and slender arm, and gently rubbed it.
"Take care of your body."
"Um,"
Regarding the matter of Kento, the scenes she dreamed of when she fainted were deeply engraved in Eriri's memory, but she did not take all of them as the future. She did not know why she dreamed of those scenes, but after thinking about it, she just felt that it was a rough coincidence.
She would never believe in things like dreaming about the future. In comics and light novels, you can often see such protagonists, but this is reality! How could reality have such a surreal existence?
Without thinking or pondering, Ying Lili slowly returned to the classroom.
It was just after class, and as soon as Eriri entered the classroom, she was cared for by the girls. When Nakano Yotsuba saw Eriri appearing at the classroom door, she took the initiative to approach her and asked about her physical condition.
"Hey, Sawamura-kun... is that your name? How are you feeling?"
Suddenly, a girl with a green headband jumped out and appeared in front of her. Eriri was very grateful that she cared about her health.
"It's no longer a problem. He's a very nice person now."
But his eyes were looking towards the classroom, looking for the figure who carried him to the infirmary.
"Are you okay? That's great! When Sawamura-san fainted in the classroom, everyone was shocked and didn't know what to do. Then, Miyamizu-san stepped forward handsomely. Before anyone could react, he hugged Sawamura-san and walked out of the classroom, saying to the teacher, 'I'll take her to the health room.'"
As if imitating Kento of the time, Yotsuba had a resolute look on her face and held her head high. After glancing towards the door, her eyes and expression suddenly returned to normal and she looked at Eriri in front of her with a smile.
"It's just like the protagonist in a comic book."
Umetaro Nozaki, who was sitting in the corner of the classroom, heard some key words, pricked up his ears, looked in the direction of Yotsuba in the classroom, looked at Yotsuba and Eriri carefully, and lowered his head thoughtfully.
As for Eriri, after hearing Yotsuba's words, her mood became subtle. She carefully looked for Kento in the classroom, but found nothing.
"If you were looking for Miyamizu-san, you left the classroom just now after class. I wonder what you did? Maybe you went to visit Sawamura-san?"
"Are you okay?"
As Yotsuba was answering, a girl who looked very similar to Yotsuba came up to them.
"Um...Nakano-san?"
The girl with the princess-style hair came in front of her. Eriri knew that she was a sister of the girl in front of her, but she couldn't remember her specific name for a moment because she was so shocked when she fainted.
"Nino, she's Yotsuba."
Nakano Nino pointed at herself and introduced her sister next to her.
"You can recognize it just by looking at its appearance, right?"
Looking at the two people in front of her, Ying Lili took a close look at their appearances. If she had known them for a longer time, she might have been able to tell them apart, but it was indeed a bit difficult now. However, in terms of personality, she had a general understanding of the difference between the two.
"I've remembered it, Nino and Yotsuba."
"I just saw you being sent to the infirmary. How did you feel?"
"I'm feeling much better now, thank you for your concern."
Nino nodded and turned her gaze back to Eriri, staring intently at the girl in front of her, making Eriri feel a little confused.
"So how does it feel to be held in the arms of a handsome guy like Miyamizu-san?"
Eriri fell into silence, staring at the girl in front of her. She doubted whether the girl's question of "how does it feel" was actually asking about how it felt to be held in the arms of Kento.
"I fainted."
"....Too."
Nino nodded, turned and left. Yotsuba, who was left behind, looked at her sister's back and gave Eriri a helpless smile.

The Season When Cherry Blossoms Bloom: 40. You know us sisters so well, do you have any ideas?
In the empty stairwell, Kento leaned against the window, looking at the graceful figure walking towards the door from the school yard in the distance. The familiar back, the familiar posture, everything about it made Kento feel nostalgic.
"But there's no going back."
Kento, with his hands on the windowsill, watched the other person disappear, exhaled slowly, turned around silently, and walked towards the direction of the class...
Kento entered the classroom on time and returned to his seat from the back door without attracting much attention. As for Eriri, who had been concerned about whether Kento had returned to the classroom, the class had already started when she noticed Kento.
Even if I have some doubts in my heart, I can't get any answers.
I got to know the teachers of each subject and listened to them explain the teaching plan for this year. About half an hour had passed. The rest of the time was spent getting to know each other, and then it was time to end the get out of class.
Kento was sitting at his desk, thinking about getting to know the other classmates when a figure appeared beside his desk. With waist-length blonde hair, Kento could recognize the girl next to him without even looking up.
He raised his head and looked at the girl beside him with a smile, his expression seemed extremely calm.
"What's wrong, Sawamura-kun? Is there something wrong?"
"Well, thank you for the fainting incident."
Looking at the face in front of her, which was gradually overlapping with the face in her mind when she fainted, Ying Lili felt her heartbeat gradually speeding up. She wanted to talk to the other party about something, but when she thought that what she had dreamed was just a dream, she didn't know how to start.
However, Kento looked at the person in front of him with a somewhat conflicted reaction, and coupled with the other party's previous call of "Kento", he felt a little nervous.
"Nothing. I saw a classmate faint. It's impossible for me not to react. I just did what I had to do."
"...."
Ying Lili looked down at the boy in front of her. After a long silence, she couldn't help but speak out her inner doubts.
"Um, have we met somewhere before?"
As the words fell, one could feel some eyes around looking in their direction. Nakano Nino, who was sitting in her seat, looked at the handsome boy from Gifu and the blonde girl standing next to him, supported her chin with one hand, and uttered a "hmm~" sound.
As a typical appearance-conscious girl, Nino Nakano became quite interested in Kento when she saw him when she entered the class. However, she didn't expect that before she could make a move, some other girls had already made a move on her.
"However, your method of getting close to me is surprisingly low-brow."
Kento, who was being stared at by Eriri, knew that the other party was testing him with this question, so he smiled and gave an ambiguous answer.
"I've only been in Tokyo for a week. Sawamura-san might have met me in a nearby shopping street. Tokyo is such an amazing city. The daily expenses are shockingly high. I almost emptied my wallet just by buying some daily necessities."
He did not deny the possibility that the two had met, but the answer had nothing to do with what Eriri wanted to ask. Looking at the boy in front of her, a hint of loss flashed in Eriri's eyes.
"So... have you heard of Sayuri?"
"No, I haven't."
Silently lowering her head and looking into the boy's smiling eyes, Ying Lili quietly returned to her seat, without any other questions to ask.
The others didn't quite understand what Ying Lili meant by the question just now. Looking at the two of them, they always felt that their relationship seemed a little strange, but they couldn't tell what was wrong. Amid the chaos, no one tried to guess.
"Hey, Nino, you've been staring at Miyamizu-san. Are you interested in him?"
Nakano Ichika came to her sister's side. She had noticed it when she was paying attention to Sawamura and Miyamizu.
His younger sister, Nakano Nino, seemed to have been staring at Miyamizu-san.
"I'm slightly interested, but if it's Ichika who likes it, then it's okay for you to go first."
Nino glanced sideways at Nakano Ichika who was trying to tease her, but she was completely unmoved.
On the contrary, after hearing what Nino said, Ichika showed an expression of serious thinking and looked at her sister with a smile.
"Really? Since Nino isn't interested, I'm going to give it a try."
"As you like."
After only seeing each other twice, Nakano Nino was only slightly interested in Miyamizu. To say that she liked him, that was a bit far-fetched. If Nakano Ichika next to her was really interested, she wouldn't mind and let Ichika test it out first.
Ichika glanced at Nino and smiled, then put his hands behind his back and slowly walked to Kento's table.
Not long after Eriri left, he welcomed the second girl who came up to him and started chatting with him.
"Hey! Did that Sawamura-kun come to thank you just now?"
When he was wondering whether he had successfully convinced Eriri, Kento heard a voice in his ear. He turned his head to look beside him. It was Nakano Ichika.
Compared to other students who have not yet recognized the five sisters, Kento, who has already known the five sisters, can accurately distinguish each one.
"Nakano Ichika-san, right?"
"Amazing! Did you recognize me right away?"
As soon as Nakano Ichika came over to talk, she was surprised by the boy in front of her. She didn't expect that after just introducing herself, the boy in front of her had already recognized her identity.
"Because Nakano Ichika-san is very unique, you can recognize her if you pay a little attention."
"It's too troublesome to call me Nakano Ichika. Just call me Ichika. On the other hand, can I call you Kento?"
"It doesn't matter. As long as Ichika-san likes it."
