"Today I am a courier, delivering Terada-sensei's express delivery." Lingya said and took out the study materials, but did not hand them to Tomoyo, but placed them on the desk next to the sewing machine.

"These are this week's teaching notes. Now I can rest assured and recover, and I will read them again when I feel better."

"Okay, thank you." Tomoyo lay on the bed obediently, covered with a thin quilt.

Tomoyo's bedroom is on the second floor. Unlike Rei's bedroom, which is also filled with sleeping mats, dolls and various accessories, there is only a desk besides a single bed, and there is nothing on the desk except a sewing machine.

Most of the room is empty.

There are no celebrity posters, instead there are many photos of Reiya, making people wonder who this room belongs to. Recently, there have been some more photos of Sakura.

Tomoyo is such a special girl. She has her own hobbies. Although she is a little out of tune with other girls, she doesn't care. There is a curtain on one side of the bedroom, which opens up to the screening room on the second floor. The stairs go down to the

The screening rooms on the first floor are connected. The entire screening room has an upstairs and downstairs structure, which is very similar to the layout of a cinema.

Chise doesn't like poster stars. She prefers to use her own camera to shoot things that interest her, then edit them and make them into videos. She doesn't like stuffed toys, and prefers to use her own hands to sew what comes out of her heart.

Each inspiration brings a dress that is either playful and cute or gorgeous and elegant into reality.

Perhaps because of this, even though she is so beautiful and cute in person, she is always inconspicuous in the class. But Tomoyo doesn't care and has no idea of ​​changing the status quo.

Ling also asked the head maid Sonoko to prepare a basin of hot water and towels.

Use a warm towel to wipe your body. This is the method used by the nanny when she was sick. After the hot water is rubbed on the body, the pores will relax, which will lower the body temperature and make the body feel refreshed.

Hot water and a towel were quickly brought over. Ling also soaked the towel in the water, rubbed it, and then squeezed it dry.

"Miss Reiya, let me do it." Sonoko took the initiative. As a maid, it was too rude to stay aside and let the guests do it themselves.

"It doesn't matter. When I was sick in the past, my aunt would wipe my body like this."

Naturally, the aunts she mentioned, Sonoko and Tomoyo, were mistaken for the maids of the Oshima family. But in fact, that was a matter in another world.

Tomoyo is wearing sky blue satin pajamas at home, and her skin under the pajamas is so white that it makes people feel distressed. Tomoyo is very slender, which she noticed when we took a bath together before, but now at such a close distance, she looks even more slender and doll-like.

[Her skin is as white and tender as snow, as ruddy as blood, and her hair is as black and shiny as ebony.]

This is the description of Snow White in the Grimm's Fairy Tales, but it is also extremely appropriate to describe Tomoyo.

"Is the towel hot?" Although Ling also felt that the temperature was about the same, her skin was particularly sensitive when she was sick, so she might feel uncomfortable.

"No, the temperature is just right."

Although her body was indeed sore and painful, even her bones were aching uncomfortably. She felt like she had a fever, and her whole body had no strength. However, after being wiped with a warm towel, the warm feeling made her feel better. It felt like Ling was just

Like a big sister, Tomoyo thought, she is obviously one year older than Reiya.

"Lingya will definitely become a good mother in the future."

After all, even Tomoyo's mother didn't care for her when she was sick.

Ling didn't take it seriously either. The word 'mother' was too far away from her. She had never had such an experience in any world, getting married, raising a family, caring for her husband and raising children. She was just a high school student in the past, and she never took it seriously.

I have thought about this kind of thing.

It took two or three minutes to wipe the whole body with a hot towel, and Ling also put the towel back into the hot water and washed it. Sonoko scrambled to deal with the dirty water by himself, and let the guests continue to busy themselves anyway.

This was a dereliction of duty for her as the head maid. Ling had no objection this time and asked Sonoko to take the basin away.

"Have Sakura come to see you?" After putting on Tomoyo's pajamas and covering her with a thin quilt, Ling also took a chair and sat beside Tomoyo's bed.

"No, regarding this, please don't tell Sakura about my illness."

Tomoyo and Rei also go to Tomoeda Elementary School, which is not the same school as Sakura, so she doesn't know that it's normal for Tomoyo to be sick. But she deliberately refused to tell Sakura, which is a bit strange.

Ling also thought about it and had a guess in her mind.

"Did you catch your cold from Sakura?"

"No, I didn't say that."

Ah, that’s it.

It hasn't been windy or rainy these days, and the weather hasn't changed suddenly, but Tomoyo suddenly caught a cold. And it was the same viral flu as Sakura. He just visited Sakura not long ago and had close contact with other patients.

Next, the cause of the disease is obvious.

You purposely kept this secret from Sakura because you were afraid that Sakura would blame herself if she found out, right? She infected her good friend with the disease. If Sakura knew about this, she would definitely feel guilty given her character.

"Ah, by the way, Lingya, you are so close to me, you won't be infected by me, right?"

"Of course not. After all, I am, um, that one." Because Sonoko, who had returned from dealing with the dirty water, was present, Ling did not speak clearly.

But Tomoyo also understood and felt relieved. Indeed, Ultraman is like a god. How can Ultraman catch a cold?

However, in fact, Lingya herself didn't know if she would catch a cold. Even after being chosen by the light of Gaia, it was not like she had never been to the hospital. She was not a superman, she was still an ordinary earthling. So this is more important.

They are just words of comfort.

The room was very quiet, except for the ticking sound of the clock on the wall.

Tomoyo was lying on the bed. He felt very comfortable after wiping himself. He seemed to be about to fall asleep. At this time, Ling also remembered another thing asked by the head teacher.

"By the way, Tomoyo, the teacher asked you if you can still participate in the singing competition this Saturday? Well, Mr. Tsujitani from the chorus club asked me."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"The singing competition... ah, is it this Saturday?" Tomoyo finally remembered, probably because his thinking was slow due to illness. He closed his eyes and lay down for a while, so that his confused brain could clear up.

She hesitated and said, "Actually, my throat is sore now because of the cold, and I don't know if I will be able to make a sound on Saturday."

The fever came on suddenly last night, and it is still in the early stages of the disease. It may become more and more serious in the future. According to the experience of previous illness, the sore throat will last for several days.

Today is Tuesday, and there are less than four days until Saturday. There is a high probability that my voice will not recover before then.

"Then, I'll talk to Mr. Tsujitani and cancel the quota?"

In the chorus competition of the chorus department, it probably won't matter if one person is missing, right? Ling also thought so. Anyway, she didn't know much about chorus. She just felt that if a group of people sang, one more person or one less person might not be able to hear it.<

/p>

But Tomoyo is a little hesitant.

"Lingya, I want to ask you something." She said, and in order to express her request, Tomoyo stretched out his hands from the quilt and made a sign of clasping hands. "Can you go to this competition in my place?"

"Me? But I have never learned to sing."

This is not a shirk. Although Lingya has learned many skills in the past, including equestrian, women's fighting skills and other minor skills, it does not include singing. She knows musical instruments, and has learned piano, violin, and flute. Of course

I'm also familiar with music scores, but I don't know anything about singing techniques.

"I think it shouldn't matter. It's a lie to say that you don't need to learn to sing, but we have all heard Lingya's singing, so there will definitely be no problem."

"And this competition is very important. Teacher Tsujitani is a piano accompanist and she has been practicing for three months. So if you can't go to the competition because of me, the teacher will be so pitiful."

But Tomoyo knew that what he was telling was not the truth.

The reason why she thought of letting Lingya take her place may be because she had a momentary thought at this time, but it was also because she still remembered the ruins after the super beast Baraba wreaked havoc, and the girl singing alone in the ruins.

Her voice has the power to stir the soul, and that scene has long been deeply imprinted in Tomoyo's memory and cannot be forgotten.

In the chorus department, the teacher often praised her for her beautiful voice. But Tomoyo knew that her voice was not good enough, because she had heard the real sounds of nature. Really beautiful singing can even make people get rid of sadness.

Tomoyo wants to hear that voice again. So, it’s okay to be a little cunning, right?

"That's it... okay then."

Ling agreed as expected. For a moment, Tomoyo felt proud that his plan had succeeded, but also felt a little guilty, and his mood was a bit complicated.

For Lingya, it's just a chorus anyway. I believe that the other members of the chorus club have also practiced for a long time, and at most they will just fill in the numbers. It's hard to know what the world has to do, but leave it to yourself, and in her opinion, this is really nothing.
p>

You’ve done the Miko Dance in front of a group of people, so are you still afraid of hiding in the crowd and pretending?

"Which song are you singing specifically?"

"Thank you so much. I'm sorry to trouble you. The song for the competition is "Song of the Night", Ling should have heard it too."

She had indeed heard it. She had heard Chise sing it several times. She probably knew the melody, but she had never deliberately learned it. She only knew the lyrics roughly. To say it was difficult, this song was indeed not difficult to learn. The melody was very peaceful and nothing special.

Treble and bass.

However, singing casually and participating in competitions are two different things.

"There are lyrics in my schoolbag. Sister Yuanzi, please take it for me. The schoolbag is on the sofa in the living room, and the lyrics are in a transparent plastic folder."

"Okay, I understand."

Yuanzi opened the door curtain of the partition and went downstairs from the screening room. Across the curtain from the screening room downstairs was the reception room on the first floor. It was much closer than going out of the bedroom door and going downstairs.

Not long after, Yuanzi brought up the lyrics with the music score.

"Lingye, please take a look first. I can't sing now, but if you have any questions, you can ask me."

"Well," now that the task is coming, Ling doesn't intend to perfunctory, even if it's just to make up for it, she must at least learn it. "I need to borrow the piano."

She was going to play the melody on the music score. She still believed in the intonation of the piano more than reading the score herself.

Of course, Tomoyo's family has a piano. Like Reiya's family, there is also a dedicated piano room here. However, Tomoyo himself does not have the habit of playing the piano. The piano room is used as a singing practice room most of the time. Reiya is already familiar with this place.

No one needed to lead the way, so Tomoyo lay on the bed with peace of mind and walked to the piano room by himself.
