It was a sunny afternoon, and I was visiting Dr. Vier’s clinic. The purpose of my visit was to donate blood for Noir-san.
Incidentally, Noir-san wouldn’t be there this time. That is because, well, I had been back in my former world for 2 months…… which is about a year and 8 months here, so Noir-san’s health had slightly deteriorated.
No, deteriorating might be a bit of a misnomer. It’s more like she was back to when she dislikes drinking blood before I started helping her.
To put it in a more extreme way, Noir-san really likes the taste of my blood and has no appetite for blood that doesn’t have my blood mixed in it.
It seems like this matter is little, or rather, quite reliant on me, so Dr. Vier seems to be rather troubled by it, but she said that her anemia has really been solved dramatically.Well, anyway. Because of that, she asked me if they could stock up on some of my blood in case something like that happened. The magic power in my blood will diminish over time, but Dr. Vier wants to keep it that way because Noir-san can drink a good amount of other blood as long as it’s mixed with mine.
She told me that an amount that’s around a blood donation would already be enough, so having no particular reason to refuse, I agreed and went to Dr. Vier’s clinic.
(T/N: A blood donation apparently receives one pint or about 450 to 500 mL.)
As soon as I touched the doorbell-like magic tool, Dr. Vier shortly came out…… I don’t know if it’s just my imagination or not, but I feel like she looked slightly tired.
[Miyama-kun, welcome. Thank you for coming.]
[No, no, just this much is not that big of a deal…… Errr, I’m sorry if it’s just my misunderstanding, but don’t you look rather tired?]
[Unnn. Well…… You’ll understand when you get in. I’ve already given up on sending her back anyway……][Sending her back?]
Tilting my head at Dr. Vier’s words, I entered the clinic and went into the private space in the back…… and saw a familiar person drinking herb tea.
When the person noticed us, she looked surprised for a moment before she smiled brightly.
[……Ohh, it’s Kaito! For us to meet at this place, it really is fated, don’t you think?]
[I respectfully decline.]
[……That was a much…… faster response…… than before.]
[No, that aside, what are you doing here, Tre-san?]
[Unnn? I came to visit Vier’s place and hang out with her~~]
[……I see.]
I now know why Dr. Vier looked so tired. She probably really did come out of nowhere without any prior appointment. On top of that, just as usual, Cento-san and Cien-san weren’t here again.
[……Ahh, no, that’s not it. She brought Cento and Cien with me this time.]
[Eh? Is that so?]
[Unnn. It seems that there are some things they need to be bought though, but it seems like Sister Tre doesn’t feel like coming with them, so I told them that I’ll watch over Tre-san here so the two of them could go shopping.]
Incidentally, Dr. Vier already knows that I’m acquainted with Tre-san, as I told her about it when I visited her before to donate blood for Noir-san.
[So, why are you here, Kaito? You here to go on a date with Vier?]
[That’s not it, Sister Tre. Look, I already told you before, didn’t I? He’s here to help with the treatment of another patient.]
[Fumu…… Heehhh……]
[Unnn? What’s the matter?]
[No, it’s nothing.]
When Tre-san heard Dr. Vier’s words, she looked at Dr. Vier and me with a curious expression on her face, before she started drinking her herb tea again.
I wasn’t sure what happened, but I decided to finish my original purpose for the time being and moved with Dr. Vier to the room filled with various equipment to collect blood.
By the time we were done, Cento-san and Cien-san had also returned, and the five of us decided to have tea together.
A few days after my visit to the clinic, I received a mysterious hummingbird from Tre-san. This was because it had some dates written on it, and she wanted me to let her know when I was free.
Even though I was wondering why she asked that, I replied with my free schedules…… and shortly after, I received a hummingbird from her asking me to leave a certain day open for a while.
Does she want to come visit and hang out or play on that date? No, I don’t really think Tre-san would do something so roundabout, and if she wanted to do that, she would just directly tell me.
As I was feeling slightly worried that she might be planning something strange, the day before the designated day…… I received “a large number of envelopes” from Tre-san.
Each envelope was numbered and there was also a sticky note telling me to definitely open the envelope with the number 1 first. Wondering what this person really wanted, I opened the first envelope and found a ticket, a map…… and a message card.
『Mission!!! Head towards the designated location and watch the play!
※ Open Envelope 2 when you get to your assigned seat.』
……The heck is this? Seriously, what is going on? Errr, in other words, she’s asking me to go see a play on the day I was free, tomorrow?
The location written here is in the Northern Area of Symphonia’s royal capital, and the time written on the ticket is…… pretty early, looking like the first performance of the morning.
Hmmm, I’m not sure what her intentions were…… I wonder what exactly does Tre-san want?
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [With the start of the new lover arc, Tre seemed to have judged something important, and with those strangely date-like directions…… Ahh (guessed)]
