Chapter 4

After the shockingly spicy curry dinner,

“All right then, you can leave the clean-up to me!”

The only one in high spirits, Minori stacked up the empty plates and took them to the kitchen. On the other hand, the others were all lying around immobilized, mentally tottering back and forth between ‘It was spicy but still good’ and ‘It was good but still spicy’, as despite the throbbing pain of their lips and mouths, they couldn’t help but have seconds, and now with their full bellies, swollen lips, and utter fatigue, it didn’t seem possible to even stand up.

However, it just wouldn’t be right to make Minori handle clearing the table by herself. Ryūji finally stood up as well to go help her, but then Taiga grabbed onto the end of his T-shirt.

“Hm? What is it?”

“…I think, I might have eaten too much spicy food all at once. I'd like some medicine for my stomach…”

“Does your stomach hurt?”

“…Not sure…”

Furrowing her brow, she looked as if she couldn’t quite tell how she felt herself as she rubbed her stomach and tilted her head.

“I don’t have any stomach medicine on me. Kawashima, did you bring any?”

“Ehh, I don’t think so…I only have aspirin for headaches.”

Thinking ‘Hm, what are we supposed to do?’, Ryūji was pressing his hand against Taiga’s forehead to make sure she didn’t have a fever when Kitamura stood up.

“I brought some. I’ve got painkillers, digestion medicine, and mixed types, so come to my room. You can read the labels and decide which one fits.”

“…”

“What’s wrong?”

Playing with the lace on the end of her sleeve even though Kitamura had been kind enough to say all that, Taiga was fidgeting like a weather-forecasting cat by pawing her face and the back of her ear. Thinking ‘This really isn’t the time to be acting shy, now is it?’, Ryūji grabbed her by her elbow and forced her to stand,

“Come on, go with him.”

Ryūji gave her small back a slight shove. Even though it looked like Taiga might fall over from that push, she somehow got her legs moving and followed after Kitamura, and so the two of them walked out of the living room. Without thinking, he was keeping a worried eye on her rear as she left,

“…Ah!”

“You really spaced out.”

He had noticed Ami’s approach much too late. Having silently drawn closer, Ami was already leaning herself slightly over the table right in front of Ryūji’s eyes before he knew it,

“If Takasu-kun’s going to worry so much about that girl, you should’ve gone too.”

While her large eyes slightly narrowed in a seemingly malicious manner, her rosy lips were completely caught up in a smile that hinted that she actually found something quite entertaining.

“…What’s wrong with my worrying about Taiga?”

“Ooh, you got defensive.”

“If someone else had gotten a stomachache, whether it were Kitamura, Kushieda, or even you, I’d worry just the same.”

“Ehh~, is that true? Well then, Ami-chan thinks~, she too might~, have a stomachache~.”

While making her Chihuahua-like eyes water, Ami sat down with a flop next to Ryūji,

“Just kidding.
