Unfortunately, even the hut was a decent distance away, and both Ikki and Stella were soaked by the time they reached it. Ikki immediately got a fire going in the fireplace to provide some warmth and help dry their clothes. Luckily for them, there was a lot of cut firewood in a corner, so they wouldn’t have to worry about running out of fuel. Once that was taken care of, Ikki took out his student handbook and called Kanata.

“Stella-san’s fallen ill?!”

“Yes. I took her to a nearby hut to wait out the rain for now.”

“Dear me. How sick is she?”

“It’s just a cold, I think, but I can’t be sure until we take her to a doctor.”

“Understood. I’ll send someone over right away.”

“Thank you. Also, we found footprints that probably belong to the giant. They were next to a big hole that looked like someone had climbed up out of the ground. It’s possible this giant is a subterranean creature.”

“I see. I find it hard to fathom that such a large creature could move about underground, but... Very well. We’ll take over investigating the footprints you found. The two of you should stay in the hut until help arrives. It shouldn’t take more than an hour or two for them to reach you. The temperature’s dropped quite a bit, so make sure you dry your clothes.”

“Of course. Thank you very much.”

Ikki hung up and threw another log into the fireplace. The inside of the hut was quite warm now.

“All right, this should be a big enough fire to dry our clothes,” he said, taking off his shirt and hanging it near the fire. He then turned back to Stella, who was leaning against the wall, her breathing unsteady. “Stella, I know it’s embarrassing, but you’re gonna have to take your clothes off. If we don’t get you warmed up, your cold will just get worse.”

“Okay...”

Stella and Ikki had been going out for a few months now, but their relationship still hadn’t progressed past kissing and holding hands. Ikki had expected Stella to be reluctant to undress in front of him, but to his surprise, she didn’t utter a word of complaint as she took off her vest and then reached down toward her skirt.

Stella understood that this was not the time to be making a fuss. She was painfully aware that if her condition got any worse she’d be unable to participate in her next selection match. And if there was even a single loss on her record, she wouldn’t be able to claim one of the six representative spots for the Seven Stars Battle Festival. Her promise to duel Ikki there mattered far more to her than her sense of shame. She was the kind of person who always had her priorities straight.

“Ah...”

“Stella!”

But as Stella got up to take her skirt off, she stumbled and her legs gave out again. Since she’d never been sick before, she had no frame of reference as to just how weak it had made her.
