Let the Stars Fall

Chapter 22: A dance around the campfire

Kazuha's POV.

After Itsuki and I went to go to just one of the courses, the two of us immediately went to where Fuutarou is currently sleeping.

Itsuki and I went back to the camp site and asked for the teacher.

Teacher: Ah. He was actually looking for you, Kazuha-kun.

Kazuha: Really?

Teacher: Akane-kun is currently tending to him right now. She insisted to look after Uesugi-kun.

Kazuha: I see. What about the quintuplets?

Teacher: I told them to stay away from him as of the moment.

Kazuha: I see. Well, I'll be going to him right now.

The teacher left as Itsuki and I quietly went to where Fuutarou is recuperating.

When we entered the room. We saw Akane just scolding Fuutarou to take his medicine.

Akane: Just take your damn medicine you block head!

Fuutarou: Stop acting like you're my mother!

We just watched them argue as Itsuki whispered.

Itsuki: I guess this is an ordinary sight for you.

Kazuha: Yeah.

I stopped them by gathering their attention.

Kazuha: Ehem!

The two of them stopped and stared at me.

Fuutarou: Oh.......

Akane: Kazuha and Itsuki. Welcome back.

I walked towards Fuutarou and took a chair and sat beside his bed.

Kazuha: How are you holding up?

Fuutarou: Well, I badly need to rest.

Kazuha: Yeah. Well, that's unfortunate.

Kazuha: You getting sick on the last day of the school camp.........

Fuutarou: Yeah......

He sounded really disappointed.

Then Itsuki apologized.

Itsuki: I apologize, it's because of me that you.......

Fuutarou: It's not your fault, Itsuki. No one is to blame here.

Fuutarou: I probably caught Raiha's fever.

Akane: Yeah, I guess that's probably it. Not to mention, last night. You were working with the test of courage committee and helping Yotsuba in the campfire.

Akane: Then, you got drenched in the sprinkler when you and Ichika suddenly activated the burglar sensor in the shed.

Fuutarou: Yeah. It's just one *cough* thing after the other.
