Ishan was lying down, completely exhausted and having no strength to move anymore and Ichinose was sitting next to him and he was also exhausted a little bit but he was able to move and having enough strength to fight still. Ichinose just smiled and looked at Ishan but he was panting, completely exhausted and said, "...Hey... how...can you even be able to still sit and not exhausted completely? I...just handled 100 or something, but you...what were you even doing, and how are in consciousness till this moment?"
Ichinose smiled again, "I am made like that, I don't feel exhausted, I can keep on fighting and fighting and it will never end, but I will still fight... I am like that, can't be helped."
And Ishan was surprised...but he just laughed at the end, watching the evening sky and Ichinose stood and asked, "Should I pick you up on my shoulders and drop you to your home? I know the location, but if you can stand and walk then tell me right now. Do you want help?"
Ishan looked at Ichinose with a smile and asked, "...You won't fall asleep in between... you won't pass out in between, right? If you can then...no." And Ichinose just smiled again and picked up Ishan on his shoulders and started walking away, Ishan was completely shocked that Ichinose was still capable to move and even hold him, but he finally accepted that what Ichinose said would be true and he just chose to rest now.
Ivan, Ly, Noah and Elisa were in the little home of Ivan and Noah was watching the television like it's his own house and Elisa was becoming angry, but she said nothing and Ivan and Ly came to them and they both also sat down on the sofa and Ivan looked at the clock...it was seven p.m. but Ishan had still not came which just surprised Ivan.
Another hour passed and Ivan started sweating, he looked at Noah and Elisa and they were still calm and having enough patience but Ivan bowed down and apologized, "I am really sorry that you all are needed to wait, I don't know where Ishan is, please forgive me if your time is wasted, please wait and if Ishan doesn't come in ten minutes--"
"No, I have enough time." But slacker Noah had nothing to do anyway, so he didn't care and continued watching the television and said, "I eat at eleven anyway, so I can wait. Do you have to do something, Elisa?"
Elisa also had no problem, she looked at Ivan and said, "I eat at nine, and I actually have nothing to do anyways, I can wait...I want to see who is Ishan...I think I have heard that name before, but let's see, and you have praised him so leaving without having his handmade meals...that will be bad, so we can wait."
And Ivan apologized again, "I am sorry if you all would be being bored, he should come quickly."
"Hey, Ishan, wake up." Ichinose called and Ishan finally opened his eyes and he finally stood, yawning and Ichinose started walking away and just said, "Treat your hand, and make meals, there are also some guests of you. Have a great day and I am leaving."
Ishan was surprised and he looked at the door and he was just in front of his home door and he smiled and looked to say something to Ichinose...but he had disappeared once again, and Ishan started sweating, "...I hope I will meet you a month later then... Ichinose..."
The door opened and Ivan finally looked and a smile bloomed on his face, "Ishan is finally here--" but looking at him... Ishan's clothes were covered with dust and he just entered and showed his bleeding hand and said, "Nothing special happened... Ichinose and I were just fighting with some bad boys, but I will wash the clothes, don't worry."
And Elisa started sweating..."Ichinose...?" And Elisa also looked but Ishan just moved ahead, but she finally noticed at his hand and with a panic said, "Hey, what happened to your hand?!" And Ishan stopped and looked at his bleeding hand...but he didn't take it seriously either and said, "Nothing special Sister, just a knife was stabbed and nothing else."
And everyone looked and they were just left frozen, "...Huh...? Huh?!!!!!!!"
And Ishan was sitting on a chair, smiling with a sweat and Elisa was giving first aid with frustration and anger and Ivan was apologizing to Noah that the dinner plan was cancelled but Ishan hasn't said no to it till now either, whereas Ly was just standing next to Elisa and watching it. Elisa couldn't control her anger and she looked at Ivan and shouted, "Shut up Ivan!!! Here your brother is injured and you are apologizing that the dinner plan is cancelled?! Do you even worry about him?!"
And everyone became silent and Ishan just smiled with a sweat...but Ly giggled and which made everyone sweat now, she was watching her big brother being scolded by a woman for the first time and Elisa didn't know whether she should laugh or cry about it now. But she just completed the first aid and said, "Go and take rest now, we will talk later that what actually happened."
And Ishan even stood like a good boy...but he just moved to the kitchen, wore his apron and washed his hands and started preparing dinner and others didn't even notice him and just moved to the living room to discuss, but Ly came to Ishan and Ishan said to Ly to remain silent for a while.
Thirty minutes passed, Elisa, Noah and Ivan were just trying to understand that what would have happened and they were thinking that Ishan and Ly would have slept, but Ishan and Ly walked and entered again with all the dishes Ishan made and silently he just served on the table at the sofa and Ly sat next to Ivan with her own plate. Ishan started leaving again and said, "You all have your dinner, I will get ready and join you all soon."
And Ivan, Elisa and Noah were just left frozen...
