Iku turned to face the door and saw Shibasaki, with Komaki and Tedzuka at her heels.
"W...W-Were you watching just now...?"
"It was a sight to behold. Now hold out that silly hand of yours, that tried to do something beyond its ability."
Shibasaki barged in and took Iku's left hand.
"Owwwwwww!"
This time, Iku screamed because Shibasaki had mercilessly doused her cut in antiseptic.
"Ow! Ow ow! It hurts worse than when I cut it!"
"Worse than sucking on it?"
"...!!" This time her scream was silent.
Shibasaki efficiently bandaged the wound and said, "It's not that deep, so you'll be uncomfortable for a few days but it should heal soon. Treat the pain as punishment for your vanity in pretending to do something you couldn't." She rapped the bandage to punctuate her prescription. Iku yelped again.
Komaki was talking to Doujou, who looked red-faced and angry. "You know, I said we should go home because Kasahara-san was already here. But Shibasaki-san insisted that we needed to borrow first aid supplies and stand at the ready..."
"Oh, that was so considerate of you! You should have come in as soon as you arrived, like normal people! Why would you need to lie in wait until she hurt herself? If you had just come in, you might have stopped her from risking her life peeling that apple!"
