Chapter 19(1/2)
Matsuda Jinpei now has a headache, so much that it makes him feel like he is the one with the high fever.
He finally put the almost cooked Furukawa Kumisa into the passenger seat, fastened his seat belt, and was about to navigate to the nearest hospital when the dazed person in the passenger seat woke up.
.
——It is actually not accurate to say that he woke up. According to his observation, even though he was burned like this, this man still maintained part of his consciousness.
...I don’t know whether to say she is strong or fragile.
However, the next second she regained her strength, she stood up from the passenger seat and slapped his phone screen.
Matsuda Jinpei pushed her back, "Don't move, I'll take you to the hospital."
Furukawa Kumisa, who was burning hot, shook his head stubbornly: "I won't go to...the hospital..."
Matsuda Jinpei:......
This person has been repeating this sentence since just now.
"You are so burned now. If you don't go to the hospital to cool you down, your brain will be burned out."
...Maybe this person's mind is a little abnormal now.
But Furukawa Kumisa stubbornly held his cell phone and refused to let him navigate to the hospital.
"No, what's wrong with you? You're so sick. Why don't you go to the hospital?"
Matsuda Jinpei couldn't take out the phone from her clenched hand and was a little annoyed.
Furukawa Kumisa didn't have the strength to explain, nor could he. He could only keep shaking his head: "I won't go to the hospital..."
If he hadn't known that this person had a fever, Matsuda Jinpei would have almost thought that she was drunk.
But since the symptoms were similar and they were all unconscious, he decided to coax her like a drunkard: "Be obedient, please give me my mobile phone first, can we not go to the hospital?"
Unexpectedly, Furukawa Kumisa, who was obviously so feverish that he started talking nonsense, unexpectedly came to his senses.
She shook her head stubbornly: "If I don't give it...if I give it to you, just...go to the hospital..."
...Don’t let your IQ go online at this time!
Matsuda Jinpei let out an irritated "tsk" and almost wanted to throw her out of the car on the spot.
But fortunately, I only thought about it for a moment. Leaving a colleague who was so ill in the middle of the road was something I couldn't do even if I beat him to death.
"Okay, okay... If I don't go to the hospital, I won't go to the hospital."
Matsuda Jinpei sighed and chose to compromise - it was impossible not to compromise. The phone was in her hand, and he couldn't go to the hospital without navigation.
He thought for a while and decided to take this drunkard... not a patient home first.
Seeing as she was burned to the state she is now, if we don't cool her down, there will probably be a big problem.
Since she doesn't want to go to the hospital and her home is not too far away, it's better to take her home first and try to cool her down.
Having made up his mind, Matsuda Jinpei started the car and drove towards his home.
He glanced at the "acquaintance" sitting next to him on the passenger seat. Seeing that his face was almost familiar, he couldn't help but step on the accelerator.
Probably realizing that Matsuda Jinpei would not send her to the hospital, Furukawa Kumisa calmed down and lay down obediently on the passenger seat, no longer fussing.
But she still held the phone tightly in her hand, even holding it in her arms and hiding it.
Matsuda Jinpei:......
Fortunately, his home was not far from here, and the twenty-minute drive was shortened to ten minutes when he stepped on the accelerator.
He parked the car, carried the person upstairs, laid him on the bed, and then rummaged through the medicine box to find antipyretics.
I finally boiled the water, got the medicine, and brought it to Furukawa Kumisa's room.
"Don't sleep yet, get up and take medicine."
In a daze, Furukawa Kumisa saw a familiar figure standing beside the bed.
who is it……
She tried to open her eyes and see.
Unruly curly hair, sharp eyebrows, and that pretentious temperament that requires you to wear sunglasses indoors...
It turns out to be Matsuda Jinpei.
Furukawa Kumisa felt relieved: It seems that he did not send himself to the hospital.
As long as she is not in the hospital, she will still be obedient if she is asked to take medicine or something...
After all, refusing to go to the hospital is already very strange. If he continues to refuse to take medicine, it will probably arouse unnecessary suspicion from Matsuda Jinpei.
——Although she will not get better after taking the medicine, it may also arouse his suspicion.
So she sat up obediently and followed Matsuda Jinpei's strength and took the water glass.
Matsuda Jinpei looked at this woman who had finally become docile, her eyes were blurry from the fever, but she still refused to go to the hospital.
He thought she was the type who avoided medical treatment, but in the end she was willing to take the medicine, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, he suddenly paused: "Wait, have you eaten anything?...Have you had dinner?"
She used her remaining sanity to mobilize her memory.
She was running around all afternoon and all night today. After eating a few donuts at a dessert shop in the afternoon, she followed Toru Amuro to the Rice Krispies Hotel.
Along the way, I had to change clothes and cars. When I got to the hotel, I was thinking about the mission again, and I really hadn’t had time to eat anything.
After recalling it, Furukawa Kumisa shook his head in confusion.
Matsuda Jinpei sighed: I should have thought of it a long time ago. This woman who can burn herself to such a degree doesn't have a very regular schedule.
He took the potion on the plate and stood up.
"Don't you want to take... medicine?"
Furukawa Kumisa had lost the ability to think, and looked at Matsuda Jinpei's back leaving the room with some confusion.
Matsuda Jinpei turned around and glared at her: "Eat first."
Unexpectedly, the woman sitting on the bed tilted her head as if confused, looked at him and blinked: "Why?"
Anyway, this medicine won't work if she takes it, so it doesn't matter whether she eats or not, right? - Furukawa Kumisa's burnt brain can no longer think normally.
Matsuda Jinpei almost laughed out loud at this woman who had no ability to take care of herself.
"Are you some kind of inconsiderate young lady? It's common sense to eat first and then take medicine!"
He walked to her bedside and forcefully pushed her back into the quilt and lay down: "Lie down and take medicine after eating."
Furukawa Kumisa looked at Matsuda Jinpei with suppressed anger, and the confusion on his face became even worse. What was he angry about?
But now that he's angry...
"sorry."
"ha?"
Matsuda Jinpei, who was about to leave, turned around and looked at him strangely when he heard this.
The girl on the bed was holding the quilt with both hands, and the fluffy quilt edge covered most of her face, leaving only two watery red eyes, looking at him.
Perhaps because of the high fever, those bright pupils were like a pool of clear water, as clear as if you could see the bottom at a glance, and as bright as a mirror, clearly reflecting everything you saw.
Matsuda Jinpei rarely saw such clear eyes.
Thanks to his job as a police officer, he has seen a lot of evil people and evil intentions. Even police officers who call themselves "messengers of justice" rarely have such a clear and clear vision after their experiences in the world.
——He has only seen such a look on one person.
He was slightly stunned by such an overly familiar look before he realized what Furukawa Kumisa said.
Matsuda Jinpei sighed: "No need to apologize, you haven't done anything to me. It's your duty to take care of patients. You don't have to think you've caused any trouble to me."
He really meant what he said. After saying this, he left the room and went to the kitchen to look for food.
The system, which had been silent all the way, spoke silently: "...Host, let me remind you that the target of our world's strategy..."
"It's Fangtani Rei, I heard it, I heard it!" Furukawa Kumisa raised his hand irritably and touched his forehead.
Her whole body was burning hot now, but she couldn't feel her own heat anymore.
"How long is the fever left?"
"Two hours, twenty-five minutes and thirty-six seconds left."
Furukawa Kumisa sighed and turned over: "Then if the fever doesn't subside for a long time after taking the medicine, you have to find a way to get past Matsuda Jinpei."
"Host, why don't you consider a honey trap?"
"...You were reminding me ten seconds ago that the target of this world's attack was Fangya Rei."
"There is nothing we can do about it. After all, you are now in the hands of Matsuda Jinpei."
"What do you mean it's in his hands...don't say it so seriously."
"Actually, if the host doesn't turn around and talk nonsense in the end, you have time to leave directly."
To be continued...
