Chapter 12: Work up with Kasumi.
Walking downstairs, Oogami continues his patrol as he is ordered. Start from the main gate, Oogami checked the theater, the gift shop and the lobby. He found nothing unusual, just totally silent and peace. "Finally, peace at last"
As he walks pass by the canteen and the kitchen, he hears some noise coming from the office.
"Huh? What could it be?" Popping a question mark above his head, Oogami calms down himself and slowly opens the door. Surprisingly, he finds out that the light is switched on, with no one in his sight.
"Please, not at this hour..." Looking at his watch and tries to make himself not to think for some horror stuff, Oogami turns off the lights and closes the door as soon as possible. Suddenly, he hears some crashes behind him. This really frightens him. With his shaking hand, Oogami points his torchlight and scans the area of the office.
"Who... Who is that?" For the first time of searching from left to right, Oogami founds no one and starts to sigh for relief. But when he scans for the second time from right to left, he finds something rise from the administration counter. "Gh... GHOST!" First word comes to his mind, Oogami shouts, as he thought it is true.
"No... It's just... me." Putting one of her hand on the counter to help herself get up, her face finally revealed as Oogami points his torchlight towards its target.
"Ka...Kasumi-san? But how come? This hour?" Popping more and more question marks upon his head, Oogami switches on the office light.
"Oogami-kun? Please excuse me for frightening you... ouch!" As Kasumi try to stand again, she moans as her legs feels pain. Noticing that she is not any ghost and her hard expression, Oogami turns on the office light and looks what is going on Kasumi. Eventually, she bumps herself to the leg of the chair and twisted her leg.
"Hang on there, Kasumi-san. I get the first aid kit." Oogami says, and he gets himself the first aid kit case not far on the wall of the office. He takes out the liquid medicine, and uses it to rub onto blushing area of Kasumi's leg. But, as he applies the medicine, he can't stop his face to blush as well, in red color, of course. No doubt of it because Kasumi is still wears her usual theater uniform, which shows her beautiful pair of legs from almost waist to toe. Not forget to mention she sits on the chair and Oogami is bend down in front of her, which also left her below part of 'gods-knows-where' a nice view as well. ()
Senses that Oogami is rubbing for quite a long time, Kasumi speaks, "Oogami-kun, is it done yet?" Knowing he falls in the 'beauty's spell' again, Oogami quickly gains back his soul and starts to bandage her leg.
"Well, this shall do it, Kasumi-san. How do you feel"
"Hmm... I guess no problem," tries to move her leg a bit, Kasumi finds that the pain is getting easier with her. "Sorry for bothering you, Oogami-kun"
"No, I should apologize because you get hurt because of me." Putting the medicine in its place, Oogami answers. "But why are you here in this late hour, shouldn't you be home right now"
"Actually, there is something troubles me since this morning. You see, since the news of Hanagumi's defeat is reported, the party, which provides the financial support for "Teigeki Defensive Plan" stops their cooperation. There should be not doubt that no one would invest onto something that does not benefit and secure anymore." Kasumi tells the fact that shocks Oogami. Deep in his mind, if the finance support for the Teigeki is stop, no doubt that there will be hopeless for the repair for their weapon as Kohran stated in the morning.
"Why... Why you don't tell me this terrible news this morning?" Grabbing her shoulders tightly, Oogami asks Kasumi.
"I... I..." Looking at Oogami's fierce expression, Kasumi become speechless. Noticing his action, Oogami tries to relax and release his grip. "I... I am sorry"
"Never mind, it is usual for someone who is uncertain and angry." Kasumi holds her pain shoulder and answers. "I didn't tell you this morning because you are too busy with the others, so am I in this office"
"Speaking of office, you still have not explains the reason you are still here in this hour." Oogami finally realizes his question and asks again.
"Due to the news I mentioned earlier, I need to get the report done and submit it to commander Yoneda next morning, since you are not free enough to help us, I have work overtime on it." Kasumi gives her answer.
"Well since it is partly caused by me, you don't mind to have a company?" Oogami offers his hand to ease Kasumi's job. Kasumi nods and Oogami excuses her first and get some coffee from the kitchen.
After a sip of refreshers, both Kasumi and Oogami start to work together on her report, and clean the mess made by Kasumi's fall as well. Within a short time, Kasumi finally get her job done.
"Finally, I can get some sleep." Stretching her arm a bit, Oogami smiles that he can help Kasumi gets her job done. "Thank you, Oogami-kun. Thanks to you the report is finished." Try to bow to thank Oogami, Kasumi slowly stand up with her injured leg. Oogami tries to refuse but it is too late as Kasumi lost her balance and fall to her front.
"Watch up, Kasumi-san!" On impulse, Oogami stands up steadily, spreads his arm and catch Kasumi with it. As a result, Kasumi falls on to Oogami's chest closely and both of them think something that they should not.
"His chest... is strong"
"She skin... is soft."
When they look at each other with eyes as round as tennis ball, they quickly release each other and blush.
"I... I better go on my patrol, see you next morning, Kasumi-san"
"Good... good night, then, Oogami-kun." Kasumi greets him back with her usual warmth smile.
