"Hmm..."

With a soft groan, Hasuga Yao's consciousness gradually began to wake up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

No.

If you say sober, that's not all.

In Kasugabe's current state, it's not so much sober as it is barely retaining consciousness, right?

The body temperature is frighteningly high.

My head was dulled by a fever.

The vision in front of me was like being covered with a layer of fog, and I couldn't see it very clearly at all.

I felt that my body was so heavy that I couldn't do it, and my consciousness was not very clear, and my body was sticky and uncomfortable, and I obviously sweated a lot.

In this extremely uncomfortable situation, Kasugabe Yao felt that it had become quite difficult to even get up, so he could only raise one hand and rest it on his hot forehead, with some difficulty breathing, and murmuring like a dream.

"I... What's wrong? ”

Such a casual and natural question was answered by another person present besides Kasugabe Yao.

"You have a fever and suddenly you go down."

Hearing this voice, Kasugabe Yao was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head sideways and looked to the side.

It was only then that Kasugabe discovered his current situation.

At this time, Kasugabe Yao was lying on a bed.

And beside the bed, Noah was sitting there. As if he was a caring caretaker, he used a knife. Skillfully peeling an apple.

Seeing this, Kasugabe Yao tilted his head. Some confused openings.

"Noah?"

"It's a good thing you didn't wake up and ask me who I was, otherwise, even I would have panicked, right?" Noah smiled slightly, and continued to peel the apple in his hand, allowing the apple skin to follow the gravity and extend it downward.

"How does it feel?"

"It's bad." Kasugabe Yao replied honestly, a pretty face with a little childishness was obviously dripping with sweat, and there was an abnormal flush, but there was a sense of weakness that was usually difficult to see. Said such a sentence.

"However, I'm used to lying in bed, so it's not a big deal."

"Accustomed to lying in bed?" Noah's movements paused slightly, and then he recovered as if nothing had happened, and spoke casually.

"In other words, you get sick a lot, huh?"

“…… It cannot be said that I am sick all the time, but for a long time, my body carries it with my illness. Kasugabe was silent for a moment. Then he spoke slowly.

"It was an incurable disease in my time, and I used to have it all the time, and I was often confined to a hospital bed. You can't even walk. ”

Saying such a sentence, Kasugabe Yao involuntarily stretched out his hand and held the circular wood carving hanging around his neck. Her pretty face, which was covered with sweat and flush, became softer.

"Later, someone gave me this catalogue of life. I gained the strength of my friends and I recovered. Gradually, I started a normal life. ”

"Really?" Noah raised his eyes and looked at Kasugabe Yao.

"The person who gave you this life directory should be your father, right?"

"Huh?" Kasugabe looked at Noah with some surprise.

"How do you know?"

"Guess." Noah laughed a little teasingly.

"After all, when you're not very conscious, you still call me a father."

"Shout... Call you daddy? Kasugabe was stunned on the spot, and when he found the teasing look on Noah's face, his pretty face became even more red.

That's because of embarrassment.

Calling your friends to be dads when you're unconscious, no matter who it is, will feel embarrassed.

In order to get rid of this embarrassment, Kasugabe Yao changed the topic a little awkwardly.

"Why do I have a fever all of a sudden?"

Hearing this, the smile on Noah's face began to retract, and he sighed softly.

"Because, the Black Death lurking inside you has attacked."

"The Black Death?" Kasugabe Yao was stunned all of a sudden, and the next second he was even stunned.

"You say, I have the Black Death?"

Noah nodded, leaving Kasugabe confused.

"Why?"

Kasugabe asked why he got the Black Death.

It can only be one reason for the sudden Black Death at this time.

That's the demon king who can manipulate the Black Death, the ghost of Pace.

After all, before that, Pace had admitted that he had injected the Black Death virus into the bodies of all the contestants.

If Kasugabe had the Black Death, it could only be Pace's fault.

However, when remaking the rules of the game, Noah had obviously asked the other party to recover the Black Death virus, and the contract document also stated that the organizer was forbidden to inject the Black Death virus into the contestants, right?

Why, then, did the Black Death occur?

As if seeing through the doubts in Kasugabe's heart, Noah smacked his lips.

"That spotted loli played a word game with us."

Noah took out the contract document and handed it to Yoru Kasugabe.

"Take a closer look at this deed document."

Kasugabe Yao obediently took the contract document and looked at it carefully.

……

After reading the contract documents several times, Kasukabe Yaohu, who couldn't see the problem, looked at Noah suspiciously.

"The contract document states that the organizer is prohibited from injecting the Black Death virus into the participants' bodies?"

"The contract document does state that the organizer is prohibited from injecting the Black Death virus into the participants." Noah reminded.

"However, there is no indication that the organizers will be asked to collect the Black Death virus that was previously injected into the participants, right?"

Being reminded by Noah like this, Kasugabe Yao immediately woke up.

That's right.

Indeed, there is no indication in the contract document that the organizer will be allowed to recover the Black Death virus that was previously injected into the participants.

In other words, the Black Death virus that Pace had injected into the contestants was not recalled, but it did not continue to spread the Black Death virus.

Knowing this, Kasugabe puffed out her cheeks.

"Have we been deceived?"

"It's not a lie, after all, we didn't specifically ask the other party when to collect the Black Death virus." Noah's eyes narrowed.

"That's why the other party will take advantage of this loophole and deliberately delay the recovery time, if one of our main players falls due to the Black Death during the interruption of the game and can't play, then the other party will make money, right?"

“…… As a result, I became the one who fell? Kasugabe Yao was a little melancholy.

"That means I can't play, can I?"

"No way." Noah stretched out his hand and gently touched Kasukabe's head, and spoke softly.

"This time, you just have a good rest and leave the game to us..."

Seeing Noah gently stroking his head, Kasuga Yao's pretty face turned red without a trace, but he also nodded obediently and chose to obey. (To be continued.) )
