Health Checkup

I hurried over to where the scream had come from and found a girl lying on the ground, blood running from her head. A boy stood there in a daze, holding a branch.

"What happened!?"

"D-Director, I was swinging a branch because I wanted to practice with a sword, but I accidentally hit her in the head..."

The boy explained what had happened to the director.

"I see. This is... an area where sword practice is allowed. Why did you come in here?"

As Asia-san asked the boy to explain, she helped the girl up. The girl seemed conscious, so Asia-san spoke to her, too.

The branch had cut her deeply, so she was bleeding quite a lot, but it didn't seem like a serious injury. Thank goodness...

"I'm sorry, Director... I was chasing a bug and wasn't watching where I was going... I'm really sorry."

The girl apologized through her tears.

"I see. It's dangerous to run without watching where you're going. If that had been a real sword, you might have lost your life."...
