Ever since that time, Haruka doesn't bother dropping by Aizawa Mei's hospital room anymore. Lila tried to convince him to go since it's true Haruka is the only person Aizawa has to talk to. None of the girl's friends have paid a visit, and she doesn't have any relatives. It was a sad story, indeed. Her gaze fell on her husband, who was busy checking her temperature, making sure she had enough layers on and massaging her legs.
"Wife, give me your hands."
Lila gave them right away, and Haruka took out some nail polish. Her cheeks turned red, and she laughs softly as he started painting her nails. "Uh, what are we doing?"
"Mmm, my wife should take care of her nails, even if she is hospitalized."
"The real reason?"
Haruka sighed, "The press is annoying. Mei made such a fuss the other day, and so they came here."
Right, initially, the news she had been hospitalized had been suppressed.
"Last night was the annual opening event for the main tournament. We have live footage of the event."
The news round screen quickly changed to the clip of the vent. Even though the main tournament venue is in Star Town. The grand opening party was in Light Town. The first segment was the interview. A selected group of participants would stand on the red carpet, and the reporters would ask questions. The main topics being, 'Who do you think is your opponent?' In other words, who you see as your rival.
Before Yori could answer, Jae-hee did.
"Terashima Lila, but," Jae-hee turned to Yori beside her, "Kogami Yori too. I believe that the power and strength of their unit is the real deal. If the opportunity arises, I'd like to face both of them at the same time."
'How interesting,' Lila thought. There are no such stages in the Dream Stars Tournament. However, Jae-hee's comment may stir a change in rules. Her thoughts broke of when she felt Haruka's lips on her leg.
"Uhhhnnngh."
"Wife, why are you making such cute sounds? I'm only licking your wound away."
T--this moron, isn't it obvious that if he uses his tongue that way she will... "Hubby," Lila called out. "Don't tease me."
Haruka lifted his head up, "Then wife, give me my morning kiss."
He was teasing her because she forgot?! What a hopeless man. Lila leaned forward and kissed his lips. "Morning hubby."
"Mmm, morning wife."
....
Even though she is hospitalized, Lila didn't want to be a liability. So, she made sure to stretch her limbs by taking frequent walks every hour or two. After walking around for a few minutes, Lila eventually arrived at the private ward.
Ah, it's Aizawa's room. She managed to convince Haruka to go. But did he go in the end? He didn't return to the room, so maybe he did? If he is here, she ought to bring him back. Lila stood in front of the door and was about to knock when she hears sounds from inside the room.
"Hahh ..... nnnghhm... Fuun."
"Haruka, go slower...that spot."
For a moment, Lila froze at the door but shook her head. She's seen this trick so many times already.
When Lila got inside, she saw that Haruka was only massaging the girl's shoulders. But Mei was moaning like they were having sex. A deep sigh passed her lips. How annoying. "Hubby, are you finished?"
Haruka glanced over, his lips curve to a smile. "Mmm, almost done. Mei said her shoulders hurt."
"That's no good, Aizawa-san. Even if you're in the hospital, you need to walk around and exercise. Otherwise, you will turn into an old lady. " Lila could see her words had gotten to the girl. She pulled up a chair and sat there patiently.
Mei wasn't happy about her staying.
Lila's eyes twitched in annoyance when she saw how Mei was putting on the biggest white lotus act. She kept pretending to be in pain, so Haruka would massage elsewhere. Two can play that game! Lila placed her hand on her forehead and ended up knocking something on the side with her elbow. It was only a small object that fell, but it was enough to attract Haruka's attention.
He immediately let's go of Mei and rushed over with a worried expression. "Wife? What's wrong, wife?"
"I'm a bit dizzy..."
Haruka picked her up in his arms, "Let's go back to the room."
Lila nodded, "Mmm."
"Mei, call the doctors if you need anything. I'll come by tomorrow."
The girl looked alarmed, "You're not visiting me later?"
"Yeah, Lila's condition isn't good these days. Other than your physical injuries, you'd be fine to leave the hospital."
Lila tugged on his arms, "Hubby."
"Let's go now."
With those words said, Haruka swiftly brought her out of the room. On the way down, many nurses and doctors were looking over. She was embarrassed about being carried like this. But, her gaze fell on Haruka's handsome face. She can get a better look at him like this.
Once they were inside the room, Haruka placed her down on the bed and brushed his forehead against hers. "Nngh."
"You're fever is back."
Is it? She was only pretending, but it seems like she doesn't feel well at all. He brushed his fingers across her lips. "Wife, you don't have to act. If you don't like it, tell me."
Ah, he noticed.
"Tell me everything, okay? I only went over to see her because you asked. I'm still angry at her. I know you've heard her story. Initially, that's why I sympathized with her. But she keeps harming you over and over again. I can't tolerate that anymore."
"Ah-huh," Lila looked at him doubtfully. But sighed. "I'm not asking you to not speak to her Haruka, that's completely unreasonable of me. However, you can't touch her at all!"
Haruka smiled, "Alright, my wife is always right."
"Hubby, I want a massage," Lila said shyly. The main reason why she got irritated before was Haruka's never gave her a massage before.
Lila's face turned red when Haruka reached out for her breasts, "Um?"
"I'll massage you wife."
"I-idiot!" Lila exclaimed. "Not there!"
Haruka, however, grabbed hold of her hands, "Why, not wife, didn't you want a massage?"
"I--I want one. But uhh, not here."
He kissed the tip of her ears, "Relax, you're right I won't do that here. I'll save it for when we're back home."
Back home? She should delay them returning as soon as possible. "Hubby, you didn't attend the party. Was that really okay?"
Her missing the grand opening for the main tournament was already bad enough. The media almost caused a fuss about it when a reporter recalled the conference from last year about her health. However, Haruka... Haruka had no excuse. Well, his excuse was taking care of her but still...
Haruka continued kissing behind her ear, and a content sigh passed her lips. He understands her thoughts far too well. Right now, he is indirectly trying to say to her that it doesn't matter. 'Only your important.'
He laid her down on the bed and tucked her in, "Why don't you close your eyes and rest for a while, my lovely wife?"
"No, I want to talk."
"Hm? About?" Haruka gently caressed her hair.
"About the organization and Zane, won't you tell me already?"
"Wife..."
"Please," Lila asked. "I need to know Haruka. It's almost the end of the year. For the past six months, I've been very patient. Ever since I found out you were on my side, I was very happy. But even then, I didn't think to pry too much. I wanted to wait until you told me everything yourself. That man, and those people. Please tell me what they made you do there."
Lila didn't want to destroy their peaceful moments by bringing up such a heavy topic. But, this was the best time to bring this up.
Haruka said nothing, and she noticed how dark his expression was. "I did too many bad things, Lila. Maybe if I had you around me, I wouldn't have done such things. But it's too late to regret it."
Too late to have regrets. Lila understood that feeling far better than anyone. But that's precisely why she wants Haruka to be completely open with her. 'If I had you around me?'
'I know. You may be tired of hearing it. But I wonder if you truly understand to what extent you're important to me. I've seen many dangerous things after being introduced to the world; Rosalia is in, and yet aside from sleeping around and smoking. I never did drugs or anything else. Despite how far gone I was. There was still a part of me that was sensible. I've always believed that it was because of you. Because of you, I could still remain sane. Able to think straight. In that world, once you take on that path. It's difficult to turn back even for the kindest of people.'
Now that she thought about it, didn't she have a similar conversation with Kiryu, who said that he did nothing dangerous because of her? Lila didn't understand what Kiryu meant. She did nothing to stop him directly. Yet Kiryu came to that conclusion, and now even Haruka. Is she that important to them?
The answer is right in front of her. Haruka changed when they started going out. Slowly, he stopped doing these bad things. Had they been together from the start, maybe Haruka wouldn't have ended up this way.
"Haruka, you know I..."
Haruka shook his head, "Listen to me for a bit? I'll be ranting a lot, but maybe you'll get your answers this way."
