"Mr. Yuuko..." Sangonomiya Kokomi's eyes grew even wetter.
She began to feel from the bottom of her heart that meeting such a person was truly wonderful.
At this moment, Yuuko smiled again, "In any case, don't blame yourself. Besides, I'm not dead, am I?"
After speaking, Yuuko lightly moved his body, showing Sangonomiya Kokomi.
"It's good that the threat of the monster has been resolved. Miss Kokomi, you've worked hard."
Sangonomiya Kokomi was slightly stunned again, then she nodded gently:
"Mhm."
Afterward, Sangonomiya Kokomi slowly closed her eyes and collapsed onto Yuuko's body.
The excessive energy consumption had also pushed Sangonomiya Kokomi to her limit.
Now that she had relaxed, she fainted.
Looking at Sangonomiya Kokomi collapsed on his shoulder, Yuuko also sighed slightly.
He helped Sangonomiya Kokomi up and then gently carried her on his back.
He planned to carry Sangonomiya Kokomi back to Sangonomiya Shrine this way... On the road, Yuuko saw a large group of people walking from a distance.
They were Watatsumi Island guards and medical personnel.
Gorou, the General of Watatsumi Island, was also among them.
Seeing Yuuko and Sangonomiya Kokomi on his back, Gorou walked over in a panic:
"Ah! Lady Sangonomiya! Who are you! What exactly happened!"
Gorou's face was full of anxiety, and he was also full of vigilance towards Yuuko.
Yuuko smiled and said, "I am Yuuko. I just arrived at Watatsumi Island as a guest today. Miss Kokomi and I were just attacked by a giant monster, but later the monster was resolved by The Person Wearing the Yellow Fox Mask."
Hearing this, Gorou showed a surprised expression: "A giant monster, and Mr. Yellow Fox resolved it...?"
Combining the commotion that had just occurred, Gorou judged that Yuuko was not lying.
And Gorou also knew that a writer from Inazuma had indeed come to Watatsumi Island to visit today, and that writer was indeed named Yuuko.
Because of this, Gorou breathed a slight sigh of relief, and then he said apologetically:
"It really is Mr. Yuuko. I apologize that you encountered such a thing during your visit to Watatsumi Island."
"I'm fine." Yuuko shook his head.
"In any case, it's good that you're all fine." Gorou also nodded.
Afterward, he looked worriedly at Sangonomiya Kokomi on Yuuko's back and asked with concern:
"By the way... what happened to Lady Sangonomiya?"
Yuuko said softly, "It's nothing, she just overexerted herself fighting the monster and is now asleep. She'll be fine once she wakes up."
Gorou observed her worriedly for a few moments before concluding that Yuuko was not lying.
Sangonomiya Kokomi was indeed not seriously injured; she was just asleep due to extreme fatigue.
Since the medical personnel were all here, Yuuko no longer intended to continue carrying Sangonomiya Kokomi.
So he put Sangonomiya Kokomi down and handed her over to the group of medical personnel:
"Please let Miss Kokomi rest well."
The medical personnel nodded solemnly.
At this moment, Gorou bowed his head to Yuuko gratefully:
"Thank you very much. If it weren't for Mr. Yuuko, Lady Sangonomiya might have been in trouble."
"No." Yuuko shook his head: "I just carried her back. The one who truly resolved the monster was The Person Wearing the Yellow Fox Mask."
"In any case, thank you very much!" Gorou bowed deeply.
Yuuko gave a wry smile at the reactions of these people and did not continue to decline.
"By the way, Mr. Yuuko, are you injured anywhere? Do you need the medical personnel to help treat you?"
"No need, I'm fine. Miss Kokomi already treated me. The important thing now is to quickly move Miss Kokomi to a comfortable environment so she can recover well."
"I understand!" Gorou nodded seriously.
Gorou nodded again, then had the medical personnel take Sangonomiya Kokomi back to Sangonomiya Shrine for recuperation.
After arranging everything, Gorou looked at Yuuko with a surprised gaze again:
"I feel like Mr. Yuuko is very calm and can give very effective advice..."
Yuuko smiled awkwardly, "After all, I am a light novel writer. Sometimes I describe such scenes and have imagined them many times, so I probably know how to handle them."
After speaking, Yuuko turned around and waved his hand, preparing to leave:
"Well then, I won't bother you anymore. I also want to go back and take a bath and sleep."
And just as Yuuko walked a few steps, Gorou bowed deeply to Yuuko again: "Mr. Yuuko, thank you very much!"
Yuuko paused, smiled helplessly, left with a "You're welcome," and then walked away... After an unknown amount of time, Sangonomiya Kokomi opened her eyes.
Looking at the familiar ceiling, she slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"This... is the infirmary?"
At this moment, a small figure walked into the infirmary, its tail wagging constantly, excitedly shouting at Sangonomiya Kokomi:
"Ah! Lady Sangonomiya, you're finally awake!"
The person who entered was none other than Gorou, the General of Watatsumi Island.
Sangonomiya Kokomi pondered for a moment, then asked, "How long have I been asleep?"
Gorou replied, "Not very long, just half a day."
"Then how did I get back...?"
"Last night, we heard a very loud noise, so we rushed to the scene with a large number of people. Halfway there, we saw Mr. Yuuko returning with Lady Sangonomiya on his back."
Hearing this, Sangonomiya Kokomi's heart couldn't help but recall that figure, and a faint smile appeared on her face:
"Is that so? It seems I owe him again."
"So, Lady Sangonomiya, what exactly happened last night? What was that giant sinkhole, and the gigantic monster at the bottom of it...?"
"I heard that a monster attacked Lady Sangonomiya and Mr. Yuuko last night, and then Mr. Yellow Fox appeared midway and defeated the monster?"
Recalling the discoveries from last night, Gorou still felt a chill in his heart... Not to mention the giant monster at the bottom of the pit, a massive sinkhole like that, no matter how you look at it, must have been caused by an incredibly huge impact... It was hard to imagine what kind of battle that place experienced last night... Facing Gorou's questions, Sangonomiya Kokomi also recalled the battle from last night and said solemnly:
"Last night, Mr. Yellow Fox appeared and saved me, and also saved all of Watatsumi Island."
"But Mr. Yellow Fox can save us once, which doesn't mean he can save us forever."
"From now on, we must strengthen the patrols of the entire island!"
"Also, send people to move the monster from the bottom of the pit back. It is a monster from the Abyss, and it's unusually large, so it must be thoroughly studied!"
"Only by understanding it well enough will we have the means to resist if such monsters attack Watatsumi Island again!"
After listening to a string of commands, Gorou was stunned for a long time, then nodded seriously:
"Yes, Lady Sangonomiya!"
Afterward, he quickly went to handle the tasks.
As Gorou left, Sangonomiya Kokomi's expression softened again.
At this moment, she began to recall the scenes from last night.
She even recalled her conversation with Yuuko before she fainted.
Thinking back on these things afterward, her face slowly flushed.
After a while, Sangonomiya Kokomi sighed softly:
"Sigh, I was too ungraceful in front of Mr. Yuuko last night..."
