Saori-chan!

I ran into the hospital room, gasping for air, and saw Saori-chan in her hospital gown on the bed.

O-Onii-chan!? Y-You scared me!

Her cheek is covered with gauze, but her expression is the same as usual.

Are you okay?

Yeah just a few scratches and a sprain. My ankle is sprained

I let out a deep breath.

Thanks goodness oh, sorry. When I heard you were taken by ambulance, I was worried that you might have a bigger injury

It was about 30 minutes ago, at a fast food restaurant in the shopping arcade in front of the station.

While I was feeding apple pie to Kei-chan, who was sitting on my lap, with Shiratori-san, my mother suddenly called me.

She told me that Saori-chan had been hit by a motorcycle.

And upon hearing of the hospital where she was hospitalized, I rushed out of the restaurant throwing Kei-chan onto a chair and rushed to the hospital. Fortunately, Saori-chan seemed fine.

Just as I am about to break down with relief, I finally notice another person beside the bed.

A girl in a school uniform. The color of her ribbon suggests that she is a first-year student.

Her bangs are pinned up with two hairpins, and her hair, which reaches her back, is tied up randomly at the back with a rubber band. She is small in stature but has a strong-willed face.

I dont know if its appropriate to describe a girl like this, but the best way to describe her overall impression is she looks quick.

When her eyes met mine, she hurriedly bowed her head.

G-Good evening! I-Im Hanabusa. Saori and I have been friends since middle school

Oh, Hi, Im Kijima

After the awkward introductions, she turns her head towards Saori-chan.

Saori, is this him?

Yeah

Saori-chan smiled shyly as I tilted my head.

Ive been telling Ayame-chan about Onii-chan for some time

I see. Anyway, Im surprised to hear that you were taken to the hospital by ambulance

Im sorry, I didnt mean to scare you You were overreacting

Saori-chan said with a wry smile, but Hanabusa-san shook her head.

No, it wasnt an overreaction at all! Onii-san! Saori, she got hit by a motorcycle and was blown about ten meters!

Ten meters!

Its a miracle that she escaped with such minor injuries!

Yeah, I guess I was lucky to have been hit by a soft spot on the motorcycle and a soft spot on the ground

Where is the soft part of the motorcycle!?

Saori-chan is smiling, but if Hanabusa-san is right, its really a miracle.

By the way, wheres Obaa-san?

Well, my mother is going to be in the hospital today, and shes going to get me a change of clothes

After that, we waited for Saori-chans mother to arrive, and then Hanabusa-san and I left the hospital room.

Well Im relieved its nothing serious. You called an ambulance for her, didnt you? Thank you

As we walked down the hospital corridor, I spoke to her and she looked a little troubled.

Dont thank me. To tell you the truth, I think that motorcycle might have been aimed at me and I might have gotten Saori into trouble

What do you mean?

Im not sure what kind of motorcycle hit Saori, but I think it was a Harley. It was a big white motorcycle. After hitting Saori, the guy stopped the motorcycle for a moment and said, Tsk, I messed up. It must have been the other one

The other one

The one whos not Saori-chan, in other words. Thats what I thought.

Do you recall anything about it?

I dont remember anyone trying to kill me

Shes hesitant to say it, and she says it in a very subtle way. But I felt it would be awkward to forcefully ask her.

After all, this is my first meeting with her.

But youd better be careful for a while. If you dont mind, would you like to go to school with me and Saori-chan from Monday? Although Im not much of a bodyguard. I mean, you two go to the same middle school, so your homes arent too far away, right?

Are you sure?

Yes, if its just a sprain, Saori-chan will be able to go to school on Monday You can discuss the schedule with Saori-chan

But, aside from going to school, Ill be late on the way home because of club activities

Dont worry about that either. Im a member of the library committee. Ill wait for you while reading a book

Its not that I dont want to be bothered, but theres no way Im going to treat a weak girl like shes none of my business.

Especially when its a dear friend of my cute sister.

Besides, there are plenty of people to keep me company while I wait

As I thought so, I smiled at her, and she nodded as if embarrassed.

So, Saori was right

What do you mean?

Saori said that Onii-san is very kind

She had the impression that Im a nice, fresh boy.

And after taking a short detour to take her home, I returned home.

When I told my mother how Saori-chan was doing, she seemed relieved and immediately called Saori-chans mother.

After dinner, I return to my room, open the door, and step into The Confinement Kings Bedroom.

When I activated <Summon Slave>, Claudia appeared in a soggy sweatshirt, chewing on a bowl of mame daifuku.

Hyo, hyoho, fuhiho! Hyuuhihyobiras goin iiin!

I dont know what youre talking about, you should eat before you talk

Claudia gulped and swallowed down the Daifuku, and made a frustrated sound.

I said dont summon me so suddenly!

I mean you didnt choke on it, did you?

Theres a reason why I called Claudia. Ive already forgotten a lot, but shes a detective.

If I want her to find the idiots who injured Saori-chan, shes the right person. Thats what I thought.

When I briefly told her what had happened, Claudias face twitched.

After all, Claudia is the one person who knows better than anyone that messing with Saori-chan is exactly the kind of thing that will get on my nerves.

So I have to make the culprit regret what the culprit was done Can you identify where the culprit is?

Yes, I can

Claudia nodded easily.

Get the security camera images from the police. If its a white Harley, its easy to identify. Then well know who the idiot is in about three days

Three days? Do it in a day

There it is again Whenever Saori gets involved, my king changes his mind, hes such a tyrant

However, Claudia showed a hint of annoyance, and then pulled up her sweatshirt, showing me her breasts as she came at me.

Ill do my best, but you have to pay me in advance. Mas ter

Really, the saint of the past is nowhere to be seen.

Shes just a woman who crazy about me.

Yeah, well, I remembered that Claudia tried to hit Saori-chan with a metal ball and it pissed me off, so lets play some intense torture and lets begin!

Dont begin there!
