The heavy rain gradually obscured Amane's vision.
Even Amane, who had undergone specialized training, couldn't clearly see her target in the downpour.
Fortunately, there were still a few hours until the target's action, so she wasn't in a hurry.
Just as Amane reached out to wipe the rain from her face...
The torrential rain above her head suddenly seemed to stop, not a single drop of rain falling on Amane, leaving only a dense pattering sound like urgent drumbeats hitting something.
Amane seemed to sense something and looked up at the space above her head, propped up by a tracksuit.
It was Ichinose, who had taken her tracksuit out of her bag and held it high above Amane's head, trying to shield her from the wind and rain.
"Although I don't know why Amane you want to stay in the rain, I do know that getting wet can lead to a cold. Hoshinomiya-sensei also warned us that getting sick on the island would be very troublesome. Unfortunately, we don't have an umbrella here, so we can only make do for now."
Ichinose smiled at Amane, but the next second, a loud sneeze made the lingering smile on Ichinose's face gradually freeze, and Ichinose's little face also turned crimson.
Just a second ago, she was telling Amane about getting a cold from the rain, and the next second, she herself caught one. It made her seem like the one who needed to avoid the rain, rather than worrying about Amane.
Helplessly, Amane waved at Ichinose.
Ichinose tilted her head in confusion, seemingly not understanding Amane's thoughts. Seeing that Ichinose didn't seem to grasp her idea, Amane first took off her soaking wet tracksuit, wrung out as much water as possible, and then, taking advantage of Ichinose being within arm's reach, pulled Ichinose into her embrace. Then, in the brief moment the tracksuit fell, she grabbed Ichinose's tracksuit and draped it over herself, finally placing her own freshly wrung-out clothes on top.
Amane hunched over, trying her best to keep Ichinose in her arms from getting wet.
"Eh? Amane, you..."
Ichinose was about to struggle free when Amane gently flicked her forehead.
"Don't move. The tracksuit's coverage is limited. If your small body gets wet..."
Originally, Amane wanted to say that getting wet would make her sick, but looking at Ichinose's short-sleeved tracksuit, which was almost bursting at the seams, it would definitely be revealing if it got wet, right?
What kind of sight would that be?
Amane shook her head a little forcefully. It was truly inappropriate for her to be thinking of such an alluring scene at a time like this.
Amane pulled the tracksuit up a bit, allowing the double-layered tracksuit to protect Ichinose as well.
The cost was that Amane's entire back was exposed to the torrential rain. Without the tracksuit to cover her, the thin short-sleeved tracksuit quickly absorbed the rainwater and clung tightly to Amane's body, making it seem as if Amane was directly exposed to the downpour.
Amane's expression, however, remained unchanged throughout, only looking gently at Ichinose in her arms.
"I remember telling you that you could go back to the tent to avoid the rain, didn't I? Why did you insist on coming here to get wet with me?"
