CH 39

At about nine o’clock, the lecture is over. Uejima, the leader of the Medical and Nursing Department of the Konoha Hospital, kindly and enthusiastically grabbed Shinnō’s hand, who had worked hard all night, and insisted on inviting him to dinner.

Shinnō tried to refuse, but under Uejima’s insistence, he had no choice but to go.

There were several doctors from the Medical and Nursing Department who went with them. Keiko, as an ordinary medical staff, did not accompany them, so Kanpū could only watch Shinnō leave with his backpack on his back.

But Kanpū is not in a hurry.

Shinnō is here to lie down on Konoha, and also to popularize medical skills and sending herbs formulas, like a boy who scattered wealth. If he leaves just like this, Kanpū will not believe it.

“Kanpū-chan, you should go home.”

Keiko checked the time and hurriedly urged Kanpū to go back, “Be careful when you go home and don’t have fun on the road, understand?”

Kanpū nodded, and just about to go home, but he suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked: “Kaa-chan, where does Dr. Shinnō live?”

Keiko was startled and said strangely: “Why are you asking this?”

“I want to ask him for an autograph!” Kanpū pretended to be a fan, “Doctor Shinnō is really cool! I admire him so much!”

Keiko smiled and said: “Dr. Shinnō lives in the Fukakusa Tavern in Furuta District, at north of the hospital.”

“Tavern?” Kanpū was a little confused, “Why did he live in a tavern?”

Kanpū has been to the Gekkō Tavern owned by his clan. Although the environment is good, it is a place to eat and drink, and is also very noisy. Although someone can stay at there, with someone of Shinnō’s status, he can just go to Uejima to ask for a place to stay, and there’s no need for Shinnō to live in a tavern!

Keiko smiled and said: “This is personally selected by Dr. Shinnō. It is said that he likes the sake in this tavern very much.”

‘Like the sake there?’

‘Hmph, this kind of reason can only deceive a 6-years-old kid like Hayate!’

Kanpū’s eyes flickered. At this time, he already smelled a strong conspiracy!

‘There are so many hotels in Konoha to choose, but he actually chooses this Fukakusa Tavern. There must be something hidden!’

Kanpū wanted to go to Fukakusa Tavern immediately to inquire, but after checking the time, he could only wait for tomorrow.

It was almost ten o’clock when he got home from Konoha Hospital. The living room was pitch-dark, and there was no sound of hitting wooden stakes coming from the backyard. Kanpū was a little surprised, ‘Hayate didn’t secretly train Kenjutsu?’

Kanpū turned on the light and saw the book on the table in the living room. It was the five-hundreds-words experience written by Hayate.

Kanpū checked it again and felt that it was not bad.

Then he went to the backyard, but did not see Hayate’s figure.

‘Is he already asleep?’

Kanpū returned to the bedroom, and gently pushed open the sliding door. Sure enough, he saw Hayate lying on the futon and sleeping soundly.

Looking at his sleeping face, Kanpū couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

‘It seems that my anti-addiction has worked!’

‘Then, next is to think about tomorrow’s actions.’ Kanpū is lying on the futon, looking at the ceiling above his head, and his eyes are flashing.

…

Early the next morning, Kanpū and Hayate got up to wash up, but when they were about to go out, Kanpū suddenly coughed and couldn’t stop at all. He almost coughed up his lungs!

“Big brother, big brother, what’s wrong with you?” Hayate was terrified and at a loss, tears are overflowing from his two big eyes.

Kanpū coughed and wondered, ‘When did my acting skill become so good?’

Cough cough!

Kanpū coughed twice, and then said in pain, “Hayate, I seem to have a cold. I, I’m going to the hospital.”

“Big brother, I’ll take you there!” Hayate said loudly.

“No, you’re going to the Academy! I can’t delay you!”

Kanpū said weakly, “By the way, please help me ask for a leave.”

“But big brother…” Hayate was very worried.

“Stop talking, Hayate, just go, I can do it!” Kanpū patted Hayate’s shoulder and said, “I’m in Class 8 of the second year, and my head teacher is Kashima Yu, don’t forget it.”

“I know, big brother.”

After Hayate was about to walk away, Kanpū immediately called.

“Wait a minute!”

Kanpū stretched out his hand.

“Big brother!”

Hayate ran over immediately.

“That… cough cough, I don’t have any change anymore. It costs money to go to the hospital to buy medicine.” Kanpū was a little embarrassed.

‘My pocket money has been taken by Anko as a picnic expense, so I don’t have any more money.’

Without saying a word, Hayate took out his 2,000 ryō pocket money.

The muscles at the corners of Kanpū’s mouth twitched slightly when he saw this, ‘This other person’s child has twice as much pocket money as mine.’

Then Kanpū took half of it.

When Hayate left, Kanpū stopped coughing immediately, and then went straight to the Fukakusa Tavern.

Pretending to be sick is naturally for the convenience of his action. There are no mobile phones or telephones in this world anyway, and communication is very inconvenient. With his mother being busy day and night, Kanpū is not afraid of being exposed.

…

After Hayate arrived at the Academy, he immediately ran towards Class 8 of the second year.

However, Yu hasn’t come to work yet, so Hayate can only wait at the door, and was recognized after a while.

“Are you…Kanpū’s younger brother?”

When Iruka entered the classroom, he saw this vaguely familiar little boy. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that he is Kanpū’s younger brother who he met at the beginning of the school.

“Hello, Senpai, I’m Gekkō Hayate, I’m the younger brother of big brother.”

Seeing that someone recognized him, Hayate was very polite, “Well, big brother has a cold and went to the hospital, so he asked for my help to ask for a leave.”

“Have a cold?”

Iruka was startled, ‘Is it true?’

‘There was a theory test this morning. Could it be that he is pretending to be sick?’

‘But I have already promised him to ‘pass the information’, so there was no need for Kanpū to pretend to be sick.’

Iruka looked towards Hayate, and seeing the worried expression on his face, he thought that Kanpū should be indeed sick.

“I understand, I will help Kanpū ask for a leave, Hayate, you should go back to your classroom as well.” Iruka said earnestly.

“Thank you, Senpai!”

Hayate bowed seriously, then turned and left.

Half an hour later, the class bell rang, and Yu walked in with a stack of test papers.

“Get ready to start the exam!”

Yu went straight to the point as soon as he arrived.

At this time, Iruka stood up and was about to ask for a leave for Kanpū, but…

“Sensei, Tanaka asked me to ask for leave for him, he is sick!”

“Sensei, Aren has a cold and fever, so he has taken a long-term sick leave!”

“Sensei, Ichiro is also sick.”

“Sensei, …”

Yu’s face became more and more ugly. He looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Iruka, who was standing in the back row but hadn’t spoken.

Yu asked in a bad tone: “Iruka, who are you going to ask for leave?”

“That that…”

Iruka then said embarrassingly, “Kanpū has caught a cold.”

Kashima-mentally tired-Yu was no longer able to complain. He waved his hand for Iruka to sit down, and then said: “All students who asked for leave failed the theory test this time. When they get better, I will conduct another theoretical exam for them! Ito-san, distribute the test papers.”

“Yes!”

Ito stepped onto the podium with great momentum, like a warrior who defeated the dragon and saved the princess.

‘Gekkō Kanpū pretended to be sick must be because he is afraid of being crushed by me, ha, I, Fatty …I, I, Ito will never forgive him!’

‘Bastard!!’
