Westwind Church Medical Bay.
Barbara was very happy yesterday when she heard Stelle say she was coming to see her, and she spent the entire morning in anticipation.
Stelle didn't break her promise, and she arrived earlier than expected, but the problem was that Stelle wasn't the only one who came.
Moreover, Stelle seemed to have had an accident.
"Barbara, I'm counting on you." Amber said solemnly to Barbara.
"Okay, leave it to me." Barbara nodded, then looked at Stelle, who was lying on the bed.
Stelle gave her an embarrassed smile, looking a bit awkward.
Barbara hadn't expected Stelle to come with Amber, and when they arrived, Stelle had even fallen from the sky.
According to Amber, Stelle had even created a large hole in the street. Although Stelle appeared fine on the surface, to be safe, she still needed to give Stelle a thorough examination.
"Um, Amber, why don't you go outside first?" Barbara walked to Stelle's bedside, then suddenly thought of something and turned to Amber.
A slight blush was on her face.
"Eh? No, no need?!" Stelle immediately felt a surge of PTSD. So many lessons had taught her not to dare be alone in a room with other women anymore.
Even if Barbara and she had… but in this situation, if they couldn't control themselves and Amber heard something, it would likely be over for them.
"Should I go out?" Amber didn't notice the unusual expression on Barbara's face. She was also a bit conflicted about this.
"Hmm, after all, a full body check-up might involve Miss Stelle's privacy." Barbara looked at Amber, "Although we are all girls, it's best to avoid it."
"Uh…" Amber looked at Stelle on the bed again, hesitating for a moment.
Given her relationship with Stelle, how could she still care about such a small matter?
But their relationship was private, and Barbara didn't know. To prevent Barbara from overthinking, Amber finally nodded.
"Alright, then I'll come back in after the examination."
Amber walked out of the room, looking back every few steps. Barbara then walked over and locked the door.
This made the alarm bells ring even louder in Stelle's heart, but she still held onto a sliver of hope.
Given Barbara's personality, she shouldn't be that bold, right?
Watching Barbara walk towards her, Stelle couldn't help but speak: "Barbara, actually, I really didn't… Mmmph?!"
Her words were cut off by Barbara.
With soft lips.
After a long time, the two slowly separated. Under the sunlight from the window, a suspicious silver thread shimmered.
"Stelle… how could you be so careless?"
"Am, Amber is still outside." Stelle whispered. She was truly scared now.
"It's okay, the soundproofing in this room is very good." Seeing Stelle's rare panicked expression, Barbara couldn't help but show a triumphant smile.
"Alright, Stelle, don't move around. As punishment for making me worry, I need to give you a thorough examination." Barbara pressed Stelle back onto the bed.
"First, I need to check Stelle's heart condition, so quickly take off your inner clothes."
"??" Stelle's eyes widened. She found it hard to imagine Barbara doing something like this.
She immediately grabbed Barbara's outstretched hand.
If she couldn't hold back here, everything would be irreversible.
Amber's nose was very sensitive; she had witnessed it.
Stelle carefully looked into Barbara's pupils, vaguely discovering a hint of pink in her eyes.
"Sure enough, she's still affected, but when exactly…" Stelle thought with a frown.
Amber had only just left, and the time they had spent alone together was very short.
"Stelle~"
Right, now wasn't the time to think about these things. She had to quickly get out of her current predicament.
Rather than sit idly by, it was better to take the initiative.
"Barbara…" Stelle sat up, actively reached out, pulled Barbara into her arms, and then pressed her down.
------
"Ugh, why is it taking so long? Could it be that Stelle's body really has a problem?" Amber stood outside the door, waiting anxiously.
She paced back and forth, occasionally wanting to lean against the door to listen to the sounds inside.
But the soundproofing of this room seemed to be quite good; she couldn't hear anything at all.
Just as she couldn't help but want to knock on the door, the door was finally opened by Stelle.
"Eh? Stelle, you…" Amber hadn't finished speaking when Stelle walked out and immediately closed the door.
Amber hadn't seen what was inside the room at all.
"Are you okay?" Amber looked at Stelle in confusion.
Stelle still seemed to smell of Barbara, but since Barbara had just been examining Stelle, it was normal for her to pick up Barbara's scent.
"I already said I was fine, no need for a check-up." Stelle was incredibly nervous inside, but she still pretended to be calm as she spoke to Amber.
She subtly blocked the doorway. No matter what, she couldn't let Amber go into the room.
"Hmm, then Barbara…" Amber turned her head and glanced at the door.
She wondered why Barbara hadn't come out with Stelle. After all, she wanted to thank Barbara.
"She, she's a bit tired too. Let's not disturb her." Stelle grew even more nervous, but now she could only brace herself and lie.
"Tired?"
"Yes, she, uh, overused her Hydro element… She's resting on the bed now." Stelle was almost incoherent.
"Ah, I see." Amber nodded, not seeming particularly suspicious.
She was also a Vision holder and clearly understood what the body felt like after intense use of elemental power.
It was indeed very exhausting. Barbara had worked hard examining Stelle for so long.
"Let's thank her later. Let's go find that Monster Bird first." Seeing that Amber wasn't suspicious, Stelle immediately diverted the topic.
"Hmm, right! We must bring that guy to justice!" When the Monster Bird was mentioned, Amber's attention was indeed diverted.
After all, it was the culprit behind Stelle's fall from the sky. Amber's blood boiled whenever she thought of it.
Once they caught that guy, Amber hoped to deal with him privately rather than hand him over to the Knights of Favonius.
"Let's go." Stelle completely relaxed and took the lead, walking outside.
"Eh? Stelle…" Amber, following behind her, suddenly spoke in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
"Is your clothes wet?" Amber picked up the corner of Stelle's outer coat; there was a small wet spot on it.
"Ju, just now Barbara was too tired and didn't control her hydrotherapy well, so it got a little wet…" Stelle quickly pulled her coat corner back.
"I see." Amber nodded, completely unsuspicious.
