Chapter 99 - 5.10
"I will take care of you."
"Huh?"
Sakuma’s heart was beating faster when Amano-San told him that he would take care of him. He wasn’t expecting this. Based on his data, Amano-San was a rugged man, who had been tempered by the harsh reality of life and was stomped by the higher power once he voiced justice.
He thought, Amano-San would just leave him like this. This was the harsh world they were living with after all, you have to fend for yourself or you would die. Nobody would be willing to help you constantly.
Sakuma had his mission in mind, his mission right now was to clear the doubt in Amano-San’s heart, then he would proceed to his next step.
Amano-San smiled gently at him and said, "You are working too hard helping the people. Even a hero needs a rest, wait a minute, I will go outside and buy you stuff to help you recover faster."
’A hero...’
Yukio used the transporter and left the lab, he returned twenty minutes later with a container of takeaway warm porridge and flu medicine. He prepared the warm soup in a bowl and sat at the edge of Sakuma’s bed.
Sakuma watched Amano-San who propped his body and sat him with a pillow on his back. Amano-San stirred the porridge with a spoon and then tried to spoon fed Sakuma.
