"I want to see Kumamon."

Mizuki Yui got out of bed, looked at the unchanging scenery outside, and muttered this sentence.

She was wearing droopy slippers, and the hospital gown felt baggy on her body.

But after just standing by the window for two or three minutes, Mizuki Yui felt a little tired, so she got into bed again.

Thinking back to Mizuki Katsuta and Higashinoji yesterday, she felt a little happy inexplicably. Although she didn't laugh out loud, her mouth curled up.

But just smiling, her expression changed again.

As Katsuta Mizuki said, Yui Mizuki is indeed a bit precocious, and coupled with her serious illness, she is also very sensitive to other people's emotions and attitudes.

So she could also feel that Mizuki Katsuta's attitude towards her was different recently.

Mizuki Katsuta smiles, but she always feels like she will cry when she smiles.

Mizuki Yui knew, but she didn't say it out loud, because wouldn't saying it make Katsuta Mizuki even more worried?

"I really want to see Kumamon..." Yui Mizuki muttered again.

When I first met Kumamon, it was a magazine that the nurse sister brought over to prevent her from getting bored.

She was immediately fascinated by Kumamon, who had cute movements and a simple and cute overall appearance.

The energetic Kumamon is so cute.

To this end, Mizuki Yui also asked Mizuki Katsuta to collect many magazines and newspapers about Kumamon.

Only after reading this did she know about Higashi Yesi.

Immediately afterwards, a sense of admiration rose from my heart - I designed Kumamon when I was only a high school student? They say that ambition is not as good as your age. Will you have the opportunity in the future?

It can be said that Higashinoji's experience inspired her to continue receiving treatment to a certain extent.

While reading the news about Kumamon, an unavoidable idea naturally came into her mind - to go to Kumamoto Prefecture and see Kumamon.

But this is obviously unrealistic.

So when Katsuta Mizuki came over to visit his doctor one time, he happily told himself about the time when he met Higashino Tsukasa.

Mizuki Yui had only one thought at the time - I'm already so old, and you still want to lie to me? Do you still think I'm a five or six-year-old kid?

My elder brother Mizuki Katsuta is like this... he is always out of shape.

But what she didn't expect was that Katsuta Mizuki actually invited Higashinoji, and Higashinoji chatted with her for a long time.

Mizuki Yui looked at the drawing book next to her.

Turn to the last page...it has Higashinoji's signature and Kumamon's portrait on it.

She just looked at the signature and portrait, and after a while she sighed deeply——

"I really don't want to die..."

Yui Mizuki should have been at the age where she should be a scientist or an astronaut when she grows up. The word death should have been far away from her...

In fact, Mizuki Yui himself didn’t know what ‘death’ actually meant.

But once she heard her mother huddled outside the ward door, holding back her voice and crying... then she realized that maybe 'death' was not a good thing.

At least she didn't want to see Katsuta Mizuki and her parents looking sad.

If she really had to die, she hoped to die somewhere where her relatives could not see her.

and--

"I really want to see Kumamon...what does it feel like to be a real person?"

It looks furry, it must be easy to touch, right?

She half leaned on the bed, and finally sighed deeply.

This goal feels destined to be impossible to achieve.

Then...

The door opens——

after...

"Kumamon?" Mizuki Yui looked at the round, honest and cute black bear standing by the door in astonishment.

This...surprise comes too quickly, doesn't it?

She touched her head, with a look of disbelief on her face.

Has your goal been achieved?

And... Mr. Higashino is here too?

"Teacher Higashino...is this...?" Yui Mizuki asked him with confusion and confusion.

"Yesterday, I saw that sister Mizuki really likes Kumamon, so I made a special call to Kumamoto Prefecture. The other party was very happy to let Kumamon come to see you."

Listen to Higashinoji's explanation.

Mizuki Yui stared blankly at Kumamon for a while, and then she shouted happily.

She simply hugged Kumamon and said, "It's a real bear!"

So cute! So cute!

Seeing Mizuki Yui's happy look, Higashinoji also nodded secretly.

His arrangements are not in vain...

But soon, Yui Mizuki, who hugged Kumamon tightly, looked at his round cheeks and touched herself with some worry: "Toshi, Mr. Higashino, why don't you let Kumamon go out first?"

"What's wrong?" Higashino asked strangely.

Isn’t this the time to achieve our goal? Why did Yui Mizuki let Kumamon out?

"I, I haven't done much to tidy up my appearance today...it looks ugly like this."

Mizuki Yui showed an embarrassed expression.

Oh...so that's it.

Higashinoji looked at Mizuki Yui's disheveled appearance and nodded: "I understand."

He sent Kumamon out of the ward temporarily and asked casually: "Do you need any more help from me...?"

"Teacher Higashino...can you come a little closer to talk?"

Mizuki Yui lowered her voice.

What is this for?

Higashinoji didn't understand Mizuki Yui's thoughts, but he still approached Mizuki Yui.

Then, he heard Mizuki Yui's voice.

"That Kumamon just now...was Katsuta-san's costume, right?"

After hearing these words, Higashikata's face showed a hint of silence.

He was about to deny it, but when he turned around and saw that Mizuki was the only one with a serious expression on his face, he had no choice but to laugh helplessly: "It's exposed..."

Yes.

The Kumamon just now was indeed Katsuta Mizuki pretending to be.

Even Higashinoji doesn't have the authority to mobilize professional Kumamon actors to perform when this kind of bear is in urgent need of promotion. After all, Kumamoto Prefecture is currently short of manpower.

It would have been extremely benevolent for Kirito Fumugure to urgently arrange a Kumamon puppet suit for Higashinoji.

"How did you tell?"

Now that he was exposed, Higashinoji had no intention of continuing to pretend, so he asked curiously.

Mizuki Katsuta was wrapped in a puppet suit that was airtight inside and out. How could Mizuki Yui tell at a glance that it was Kumamon played by Mizuki Katsuta?

"Teacher Higashino..." Mizuki Yui chuckled, and then asked: "How can there be a sister who doesn't even know her brother?"

She looked at the door and seemed to be able to see Katsuta Mizuki, who was huddled in Kumamon's bloated puppet suit and was sweating profusely through the ward door.

"Why don't you call him brother when we face each other?"

Before, Mizuki Yui looked disgusted with Mizuki Katsuta. He liked to brag about anything, and kept shouting at Katsuta.

Why is it that a brother is called so affectionately at this time?

When asked this question, Mizuki Yui was obviously stunned, but she quickly came to her senses and shook her head with a smile.

"No, no, no. You can't call that guy that. He gets carried away easily... That's the kind of person he is. I know him."

Uh...Higashinoji couldn't refute these words.

This is indeed the case.

If Mizuki Katsuta were called like this, the other person's tail might be raised to the sky.

"Furthermore..." Mizuki Yui murmured, with complex emotions showing in her big, shining black eyes: "I actually know that, he doesn't usually brag... He is indeed very powerful, Musashino
