Sirimiri ; ODAJIMA YUKEN

Chapter 19

"Hey, that's enough-"

"Do not start-"

"What is going on here?" The voice of a young woman made them all stop and realized that they were still in the hospital. The young woman wore a white doctor's coat over a white pantsuit underneath. Her hair was curled lightly and pulled into a neat ponytail. If it weren't for the coat, she looked like she didn't belong in a hospital but rather on the cover of some beauty magazine.

The said woman walked closer and sternly looked at them. She scanned the corridor before her eyes settled on one group.

"You're Murayama's kids yes?" Fujio nodded, surprised that she knew.

"Y-yes. You know Murachii?"

"What have I told you about calling me by that weird nickname?" Oya stood at attention as well as the other groups as the former Oya head walked in with Seki and Furuya walked alongside him.

"Murayama." The woman acknowledged as the man gave her a small smile. The woman sternly looked at him and sighed.

"I told you to not let your kids cause trouble-"

"They won't Emi-chan. Don't worry. They're just worried about their friend, well our friend."

"I know. Watanabe Honoka, right? The staff is abuzz because her grandmother is a major shareholder of this hospital." The woman explained.

"How rich is Honoka really?" Yasushi muttered, shocked with the new information.

"Will she be fine Emi-chan?" Murayama asked and the boys listened on.

"As you know, Honoka sustained injuries to her head and legs," she explained, her tone measured and empathetic. "The impact from the car accident resulted in a concussion and some trauma to her head."

"In addition," she continued, "her legs suffered fractures, and there's some soft tissue damage as well. Her road to recovery will involve a combination of rest, physical therapy, and rehabilitation."

"I will be overseeing her case with my dad so don't worry, she's in good hands. We'll be working closely with Honoka to ensure her leg fractures heal properly," she explained, her tone a blend of confidence and compassion. "The physical therapy will be tailored to her needs, and we'll gradually introduce exercises to help her regain mobility and strength."

"Can she still dance ballet?" Tsukasa asked, worried about his friend and the doctor frowned a bit.

"It'll take some time for her to do that because moving in general is difficult enough and dancing is more strenuous. But I can assure you boys, that we will do our best to help her and I hope you can lend her some strength some well okay?" She offered a kind smile.

"Thank you, Emi-chan.," Murayama says, smiling a bit before turning to his juniors. "Say thank you, you idiots." The rest did so as the woman walked away, smiling at the boys as she left.

"Murachii, was that-?" Murayama nodded.

"That was Dr. Okazaki Emi or Emi-chan as we call her. She's the daughter of Honoka-chan's doctor."

"How do you know her?" Sachio asked and Murayama smirked.

"Emi-chan has a great deal of history with the S.W.O.R.D district. She's well connected and she's the go to doctor when we needed some medical help during the early days." He explained.

"I thought outsiders are not welcomed by S.W.O.R.D too much-"

"Family and significant others are an exception." Murayama cut off Todoroki as he let out a sly smile. The rest looked at him weirdly.
