Track 4

…Hah……

(Anisama looks worse than he did this morning…)

(...I wish I could take his place. I want to get rid of everything that’s making him suffer…!)

Anisama….

….T-Toi.

Anisama!

I’m sorry if I woke you up. I brought cooling sheets and some medicine…

…..Thanks. Just put them over there.

Is there anything else you want? If there’s anything I can do, I’ll do it!

Don’t got any at the moment… Just seeing your face is enough for me.

…..Hey, Toi.

What is it, Anisama?

You’ve been taking on a lot of fortune-telling jobs, haven’t you? I know you’ve been pushing yourself and using too much of your power.

!

So promise me… that you won’t overdo it.

Anisama…..

……….

He’s got a really high fever right now, but he said he would be okay.

Boss is tough as a nail. ‘M sure he’ll knock a fever like that right out the park!

Yeah, you’re right… Anisama is strong, so there’s no way he would lose to something like a cold.

(It’s a cold…right? Yeah, I have to pull myself together. I still need to deal with the thing Akuta-kun told me about!)

(I can’t rely on Anisama right now, so that means I have to handle it on my own–)

Think we can keep going, Toi-san?

Yep. Third floor next, right? Let’s go, Akuta-kun!

You got it!!

…Thanks, Nagi. Changing the sheets really helped.

No problem. Hang in there with the battle against the virus in your body too, Yodaka-san.

Yeah. Make sure you don’t overdo yourself either, Nagi.

I’ll just leave the cooling sheets and drinks right here! If ya need anything, just shoot us a message on PeChat!

Don’t hesitate to ask for anything! We’ll come right away.

Much obliged….. I swear to repay this kindness someday.

And why is Idiotake so full of energy? …Ah, that’s right. It’s because he’s Idiotake.

Come now, Uu-chan. “Idiots don’t catch colds” is merely a common myth.

Apologies. Please take that as Uu-chan’s own awkward way of expressing gratitude for your care.

You don’t have to explain it so politely like that. Just hurry up and get out already if you don’t wanna catch it.

Okay! Get well soon, you two!

Um, the next room is…

Ah—

ACHOOOOOO!!!!!

Uwah!

….Ngha. Sorry, didn’t mean to startle ya.

A-Are you okay? Tissues, tissues!

Thanksss…sniff sniff.

Hey, could it be… Were you feeling unwell the entire time, Akuta-kun?

Nyeo, not at all! ‘m fiiine! If anything, moving around helped me shake it off.

I knew it…! You really shouldn’t push yourself–

Naaah, because, like….. This whole thing might be my fault, yeah? Then it’s only right that I take full responsibility and help nurse everyone back to full health.

But….

And besides, I can’t just leave ya to handle everything on your own. And I mean, I don’t want to.

!

We’re in a three-legged race as the Supply Team! We’ve gotta cross that finish line together, ya?

Akuta-kun…..

Let’s keep this between us. Pleaaaase, Toi-san!

…Alright. But–

Um, it should be around here… Found it!

A fever cooling sheet!!

Don’t push yourself, okay? That’s a promise to me! If things get worse, I will most definitely stop you!

Hehe, aye aye captain! Promise sealed with a porcupine punch! Pinky promise, and if you break it, swallow a porcupine fish!

Ah~...Tonya¹, A–ta²… You guys came to see us… Thankies…

Uwahh, Chii-sama! You look so unwell…! Please, take this medicine right away!

Sorry for making you guys bring so much stuff.

And Akuta… Did you catch a cold too? You got a cooling sheet on your forehead.

Ah, no, no~ …I just got hot carrying all the supplies!

Besiiides, don’t worry ‘bout a thing, Tao-san! This sorta thing is grieve-and-take…....right?

A give-and-take, you mean.

YES! That!

Haha, thanks. We’ll have to return the favor somehow next time.

Yeppie! Thank yew both~

Of course! Get well soon too, Chii-sama!

Who wants some of this special porridge~!

Woah! What the–!?

You need to come in more quietly, Netaro-kun…!

Hiss!!

Uwoh!? What’s with ya, PT!

Ah, sorry for scaring you, PT. We’re just here to deliver some rice porridge. There, there.

Yowa-san. What is in that porridge…? Please don’t tell me you made something strange again…

I don’t wanna hear that coming from you, Left³⁴~!

…I see. So the young master has taken his medicine and is resting. That is most reassuring.

Under normal circumstances… I, this Sakujiro, would devote my body and soul to nursing him back to full health! However, with this fever-induced fatigue and stomach pain, I am unable to move… It’s truly a shame!

Now, now… Why don’t ya just leave everything to the Operation Cure HAMA House team for today?

If anything comes up, please don’t hesitate to call us. We’ll make sure to support you properly.

Aahh… You’re seriously angels… I’m only five seconds away from ascending thanks to this holy benevolence….. No, I will live! …I’ll live and dephinately get bettah!

And with that, supply delivery is COMPLETE!

Ready, set—

High fi—

WAAAAAIT, hold up! I’m a sick person! Probably! Let’s make it a telepathic high-five!

Oh, right! You’re not feeling well after all…!

(He looked fine aside from that sneeze, so I totally forgot.)

Nahhh– Actually, clearing the mission’s got me feeling even better! Guess moving my body was totally the RIGHT CALL!

While we’ve got this momentum, let’s go fix that Shimenawa too, Toi-san!

Ah, um…

…It’s fine! I think that’s something I should handle alone after all. I think you really should get some rest too, Akuta-kun.

Ehhhhhhhh~!! Toi-saaaaaaaan~~~!!!

Your face looks a little redder than before too…

And besides, that Shimenawa isn’t normal. If you get too deeply involved, you could end up getting hurt.

So I’ll take care of it.

…Got it. You’re saying all that ‘cause you’re really worried ‘bout me.

Really, I appreciate it! It means a lot. But still. This whole thing happened ‘cause I brought it back, right? So–

–Can we stop doing that?

…..
