Chapter 8 8: Nimbus 1412 Nimbus 1412

"Madam Pomfrey!"

Kuroba Kaito rushed into the medical room with Edogawa Conan curled up in pain in his arms, his expression unprecedentedly flustered.A middle-aged lady with a long white cat on her head came over immediately, guided Heiyu to a bedside by the window in the medical room, frowned and asked, "Merlin, what's going on? Let him down quickly, gently some."

Without Madam Pomfrey's explanation, Kuroba had already carefully placed Edogawa on the hospital bed, but his tone was not so gentle: "What's going on? It's not this stupid... Ravenclaw did a good thing Why don't you wait for him to wake up and ask him yourself."

Madam Pomfrey stared angrily at Hei Yu who was standing beside her with a stubborn mouth, and she had already started waving her wand to cast a healing spell.Kuroba took a step back consciously, and looked at Edogawa Conan who was lying on the bed in a coma with a complicated expression, but he was reluctant to look away.The door of the medical room was crowded with students, and standing at the front was Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya with an anxious face.However, due to Madam Pomfrey's majesty accumulated over the years, they didn't dare to go in and disturb her, and could only watch helplessly outside.

After a long time, Madam Pomfrey finally lowered her hands, cast a sidelong glance at Kuroba Kaito, who had a dark face and arms crossed around his chest, and said after a moment of deliberation, "It's almost done. Actually, there's nothing wrong with it, it just looks scary." , I took some sleeping pills for him, and it will be almost the same when he wakes up. Hei Yu, go back if you have nothing to do, I'll watch over here, don't worry."

Hei Yu didn't move his footsteps, and suddenly asked: "Then... the worker—Edogawa, does he have any other problems?"

Madam Pomfrey arched her eyebrows, and nodded after a while: "When I checked him just now, I found that he is not in good health."

Hei Yu frowned, and nodded slightly to signal her to continue talking.Madam Pomfrey raised her chin and said, "Tell me in the office."

When Kudo woke up, the sky was already filled with stars.The light like water fell in through the glass windows, and everything was blurred. He soon realized that he was in the medical wing, and the familiar aroma of herbs floated in the air.Ah, although I "lost", it's probably not bad to help that Gryffindor kid...

He propped himself up and sat up, his gaze fell on Kaito Kuroba who sat next to him and looked at him expressionlessly.

"...!"

Kudo didn't expect that Kuroba would be here, and his brain exploded with a buzz.Under Kuroba's frightening gaze, Kudo shrank back suddenly, bent his knees and grabbed the quilt covering him tightly, as if this quilt as light as a feather could resist own professor.He knew Kuroba too well, this expression often meant that Kuroba was angry, but just like before, he didn't know why Kuroba was angry, his body just subconsciously reacted for Kudo.

There was a suffocating silence.

"Professor Hei, Heiyu..." He swallowed, and opened his mouth cautiously to break the somewhat stiff atmosphere, "You...why are you here?"

Black Feather bent his mouth, but the smile did not reach his eyes at all, and his voice was no different from usual, but it gave Kudo a desire to escape: "Why, Mr. Edogawa still sent me to the medical Room, can I not be here?"

"No," Edogawa pressed his back against the cold stone wall, looked straight at Kaito Kuroba, who was sitting on the side of his bed with his legs crossed, trying to get some clues from Kuroba's expression, "Professor has no other Are you busy?"

Kuroba chuckled, stood up suddenly, looked down at Kudo Shinichi who was looking up at him in panic, his voice became more gentle, and he said slowly: "Isn't the duty of a professor to protect the students well?" Is yours safe, Mr. Edogawa?"

"..."

Kudo blinked, and then saw Kuroba leaning over, trapping himself between the wall and his arms, the scent of cologne mixed with the warm breath of Kuroba Kaito, the tip of his nose The quick encounter caused Kudo's brain to stop functioning unconsciously.He froze on the spot in a daze, watching Kuroba Kaito who was close at hand stretched out his hand, some cold fingertips gently and meticulously stroked the scars on his cheeks caused by the fragments, making Kudou tremble slightly up.Kuroba's eyes were a bit dim, and under the calm blue was an incomprehensible abyss, staring at Kudo Shinichi without blinking.

As long as he gets closer.

A little closer, and he could kiss the person he fantasized about since he was a teenager——

"Teach, teach..."

Did Kuroba see something?

Does he know that he is Kudo Shinichi?

What is he doing?

...and my own feeling of heart palpitations for no reason.

too weird.

After what seemed like a whole century, Kuroba finally lowered his eyes and smiled, retracted his hand from the wall next to Kudo's ear, straightened up and took a deep look at the still confused Ravenclaw .Kudo Shinichi didn't know it himself, but his tense and wary look with his small face upturned looked like a frightened deer in the forest. He huddled in the corner of the bed and hugged the quilt. His blue eyes were like diamonds at night. Shiny, really...

Hei Yu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the restlessness that started to rise in his heart, and his voice was hoarse and low as if he had been burned by smoke: "Have a good rest."

Kudo watched Kuroba turn around gracefully, and left the medical room in three steps at a time.If Hei Yu hadn't looked too calm and calm just now, he would have thought that the other party had fled in despair.He finally breathed a sigh of relief when Hei Yu left, and also confirmed that Hei Yu did not recognize him.

This conclusion made Kudo feel reassured and at the same time a little unreasonable and awkward. However, as smart as Kudo Shinichi, he didn't figure out what was going on with his contradictory psychology, so he had to give up on this issue and continue to dig into the horns.

Before he could enjoy a few minutes of peace, another unexpected visitor arrived.

The black-haired Gryffindor stood a few meters away from Kudou, coughed, and his cheeks turned red.

Hearing the sound, Kudo raised his eyes, and said "Ah", "Student Tsuburaya."

"...Are you okay?" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya pursed his lips, his voice tensed.Kudo waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing, just a little injury. But I owe you a promise—"

"I'll lend you the broom!" Tsuburaya interrupted him, looking at Kudo steadily, "I know you deliberately... let me win in front of Ayumi. I lost. I will fulfill my Promise of."

Kudo scratched the back of his head, seeing that Tsuburaya had no intention of backing down, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

Tsuburaya took a deep breath, and suddenly said loudly: "But I will not give up Ayumi to you! Although you are very strong, I will try my best to surpass you, Edogawa Conan! Next time I will definitely be upright Let's see!" After finishing speaking, he ran away in a hurry, leaving behind Kudo who was dumbfounded.

... Hey, what's going on with the kids nowadays, listen to my explanation before leaving!

Kudo was speechless and choked, wanting to cry but no tears.

But he still didn't use Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko's broom in the end.

because--

On the first morning when he was discharged from the hospital, just as he was enjoying the delicious breakfast provided by Hogwarts, Ravenclaw, who asked about his health by the way and concerned, nodded and smiled to show that there was nothing wrong, a pure white owl He flew into the auditorium with a heavy and huge package in his arms, and threw it into Kudo Shinichi's arms accurately under the attention of the audience.

"..."

He twitched the corner of his mouth, and when he saw the flamboyant "Conan Edogawa" on it, he knew whose handwriting it was.Coupled with the solemn packaging from the Quidditch boutique, Kudo wanted to know what was inside with his feet.He couldn't help looking at Kaito Kuroba's position on the teacher's bench, and happened to meet his gaze.Kuroba raised his cup and greeted him gracefully.Kudo suddenly thought of the ambiguous and charming atmosphere in the medical room last night, felt a little hot in his ears, and quickly looked away.

Damn, what on earth is he trying to do?

In the dormitory, Kudo touched the latest Nimbus 1412 with joy, while thinking distressedly.
