The sofa was also piled high with various items. There were one or two pieces of clothing, unopened express delivery boxes, and a pile of manga books and light novels, mixed with school textbooks. On the floor, there were several empty drink cans. In short, it looked a bit messy, but fortunately, there was no strange smell or any dirty traces. Mochizuki Yo pushed the clutter on the sofa aside, piling them up. It seemed he needed to hurry and tidy up when he had time. "Ha, I haven't had much time to clean up lately, Shiina Student, please have a seat." Mochizuki Yo gave an awkward smile, then lay down woozily on the other side of the sofa. Shiina Mahiru didn't mind, sitting with her legs together.
"It just looks like it hasn't been tidied up for more than just a few days," Shiina Mahiru replied seriously.
Then her tone softened, sounding gentle.
"Have you taken any cold medicine?"
"No."
"I thought so. Please wait for me for a moment. I'll go home and get some medicine. Please don't fall asleep." After saying that, Shiina Mahiru hurried home. Mochizuki's front door wasn't closed, just left ajar, as she would be back soon.
Shiina Mahiru returned home, first put away her school bag, then took out the household medicine box and came to Mochizuki Yo's place.
She got hot water from the water dispenser and prepared the cold medicine for Mochizuki.
"Please drink the cold medicine first, then go back to your room to rest for a while."
"Hai, arigato," Mochizuki Yo could only respond weakly.
"Do you need me to feed you?"
"Eh, no, no need."
"I'll prepare dinner. Is there anything you want to eat?"
"Thank you, anything is fine." To be honest, Mochizuki Yo didn't feel like eating anything.
But thinking of the earnest Angel, he couldn't disappoint her good intentions.
Speaking of which, Mochizuki Yo was now thinking how thoughtful Shiina Mahiru was!
But letting Shiina feed him medicine was out of the question.
After drinking the medicine, the cold medicine gradually took effect.
Mochizuki Yo felt a little sleepy and returned to his room to rest for a while.
Meanwhile, Shiina Mahiru got up and went to the kitchen.
The kitchen was fully equipped with cooking utensils.
But she didn't see any seasonings like oil, salt, soy sauce, or vinegar.
Dust visible to the naked eye had accumulated on the kitchen counter, making it easy to guess that the kitchen had been abandoned by its owner.
Shiina Mahiru opened the refrigerator and saw only drinks inside.
Other than that, it was empty.
Shiina Mahiru felt a bit helpless; there was no way to cook like this.
Shiina Mahiru thought she could only go back to her own home, cook, and then bring it over, but preparing dinner would likely take some time.
If Shiina Mahiru went back home to cook now and locked Mochizuki Yo's door, Shiina Mahiru doubted she would be able to get back in later.
After all, Mochizuki student had already gone to rest.
It seemed she could only leave the door ajar and open her own door. Anyway, there were only her and Mochizuki's two households on this floor, and usually no one else would come.
About an hour later, Shiina Mahiru came to Mochizuki's place carrying a pot of hot porridge.
Stealthily, she finally managed to place the porridge on the table.
Shiina Mahiru went to Mochizuki Yo's room and saw that he was still sleeping soundly. She decided to let him sleep a little longer, as the porridge was still very hot.
But Shiina Mahiru didn't stay idle. Shiina Mahiru decided to tidy up the living room floor, which had no place to step.
First, Shiina Mahiru neatly arranged the various items on the floor, but since there were so many items, even after arranging them neatly, it didn't free up much space.
Therefore, Shiina Mahiru could only move some items to the corner.
At the same time, Shiina Mahiru also put all the unthrown garbage into garbage bags and sorted the garbage.
After all, if it wasn't sorted properly, there would be a fine.
But she didn't organize it too meticulously. Shiina Mahiru just thought that at least there should be a clear path in the room to avoid tripping, and without the room owner's permission, she didn't feel comfortable casually moving things around.
Next, Shiina Mahiru went to the dusty kitchen.
First, she filled a basin with water, then picked up a dry, wind-dried rag from the side and put it in the water.
Under the immersion of the water flow, the slightly hard rag gradually softened.
Shiina Mahiru picked up the rag and wiped away the dust on the kitchen counter one by one, not missing even a small corner.
Finally, after Shiina Mahiru's efforts, the kitchen looked brand new. Of course, this was also due to Mochizuki Yo hardly ever using it, perhaps never since he moved in.
Hanging the rag on the balcony to dry, Shiina Mahiru didn't feel tired after all this effort, after all, housework was just a trivial matter to her.
However, a few drops of sweat still trickled down Shiina Mahiru's cheeks.
Shiina Mahiru felt it too and took out a tissue to wipe it away.
Then, she subconsciously smelled herself to see if there was any strange odor.
Afterward, Shiina Mahiru went to Mochizuki Yo's door, knocked gently, and then pushed the door open.
Seeing that Mochizuki Yo's complexion had a hint of redness compared to the previous paleness, Shiina Mahiru couldn't help but curl her lips, perhaps without even noticing it herself.
Perhaps because of sleeping, Mochizuki Yo's hair was a bit messy at this time, with many strands on his forehead sticking up, revealing his fair forehead. Only a few strands were stuck to his forehead with sweat, followed by his tightly closed eyes.
It seems Mochizuki student is more handsome than I thought, but Shiina Mahiru wasn't paying much attention at the moment.
The priority was to wake Mochizuki student up for dinner.
"Wake up, Mochizuki student," Shiina Mahiru bent down, calling softly and gently pushing Mochizuki's arm.
Mochizuki Yo wasn't sleeping very deeply, after all, he was just feeling dizzy due to the cold medicine and fever.
He quickly woke up, and what came into view was a pair of bright, brown-sugar colored eyes, in which there seemed to be his own reflection.
Then there were the long strands of hair, almost touching his cheek.
"Ah, Shiina Student, I'm sorry, did I sleep for a long time?" Mochizuki Yo sat up, feeling much better mentally, and his head wasn't as dizzy. As expected, you need to take medicine for a fever!
"No, about two hours."
"Mochizuki student looks much better. Come quickly and eat dinner."
"Oh, I feel better, thanks to you." Mochizuki Yo walked out of the room and into the living room.
"Eh, how did it get so tidy?" Needless to say, Mochizuki Yo realized that Shiina Mahiru had done the work.
Just as he was about to thank her, Shiina Mahiru apologized first.
"I'm sorry, I apologize for moving your things without your permission."
Mochizuki Yo once again felt the Angel's thoughtfulness; she helped him tidy up so neatly and still apologized.
Therefore, Mochizuki Yo bowed deeply to Shiina Mahiru to thank her.
It was a case of doing as the Romans do; he didn't usually bow easily.
"It's nothing, I should be the one saying thank you."
