Chapter 164
"If I say that this medicinal liquid can heal your leg wound one hundred percent!"
"Would you feel happier?"
A single simple sentence from Mineo immediately left Kotori completely shocked. At that moment, Kotori's facial expression, her breathing, even her heartbeat seemed to stop moving.
On the inside of Kotori's left knee, there was a pale scar about three centimeters long.
When she sustained that injury, she was still at a very young age.
Because of that wound, she sometimes dragged her leg when walking, and for that reason, she had been teased and mocked many times by children her age.
The scar on her leg had always been a source of inferiority for Kotori. Although she had now risen above those past hurts, the scar on her leg remained a shadow that wouldn't fade away in her heart.
Kotori was very gentle and very adorable. Her face was also very delicate. Honestly, if it weren't for this scar on her leg, she could be said to be a flawless existence.
Therefore, so that the scar on her leg wouldn't be seen by others, Kotori never allowed her legs to be exposed without a covering.
Because she liked wearing beautiful clothes, Kotori rarely wore long pants. Generally, as long as she wore a skirt, she always paired it with a pair of over-the-knee socks or tights.
Precisely because she protected it so well, the number of people who knew about the wound on her leg was very few. And Mineo, by chance, was one of them.
The fact that Mineo knew about the scar on Kotori's leg wasn't because Mineo had watched the anime, but because Kotori herself had been honest with him about it.
When chatting three years ago, Kotori had once asked if Mineo-oniichan would hate her because there was a scar on her leg. And Mineo had only answered Kotori with one sentence.
"Even if there is a scar on her leg, Kotori will definitely remain the most adorable girl in the world."
Perhaps this sentence was just a very ordinary encouragement for Mineo, but for Kotori, this sentence served as a massive support given to her by another person.
To a certain extent, the fact that Kotori could rise from the shadows of the past was also due to Mineo's role. And right from that day, Kotori seemed to start becoming increasingly dependent on Mineo.
And now, Mineo actually said that the bottle of medicinal liquid in his hand could heal the scar on her leg. Kotori suddenly didn't know what kind of emotion she should express. Was it happiness, or was it excitement?
Even though she didn't speak, Mineo could clearly feel that Kotori's body seemed to start trembling slightly.
When Kotori lifted her head, Mineo only then realized that in the corners of her beautiful eyes, there were actually clear tears flowing out.
Tears that sparkled like diamonds fell down the side profile of Kotori's snow-white face. Her beautiful pair of eyes radiated a light of disbelief and a surprise that was hard to put into words.
"Mineo-oniichan... Mineo-oniichan, is... is this true?"
"This medicinal liquid, it can really... can it treat my leg wound?"
"Kotori-chan, do you think I would lie to you?"
"No... no way! Mineo-oniichan definitely wouldn't lie to me! As long as it is Mineo-oniichan's words, I am willing to believe them completely."
Even though Kotori was shedding tears, at this moment she was smiling very sweetly and happily. She tightly gripped the small bottle in her hand, then slowly closed her beautiful eyes.
While wiping the corners of her eyes with the back of her white hand, Kotori immediately opened her eyes again. She lowered her head and looked toward her knee, and at that moment Mineo spoke up:
"This medicine needs to be applied to your scar."
"If you want to see instant results, then it must be combined with a few unique massage techniques."
"Only I have mastered these massage techniques, but Kotori doesn't need to worry about this. Even without using the massage method, just by applying the medicine, in a slightly longer time the scar will also disappear completely..."
How should he put it, facing Kotori's pure smile and feeling the one hundred percent trust she had in him, Mineo felt a bit embarrassed to directly propose helping her with the massage.
Therefore, he left the right of choice to Kotori. No matter what Kotori chose, it wouldn't be a problem.
After hearing Mineo's words, the blush on Kotori's face spread wide once more. She lowered her head and her voice sounded very small.
"Mineo-oniichan, what Onii-chan means is..."
"If you want the medicine's efficacy to take effect as quickly as possible, Onii-chan's help is needed to apply the medicine personally, right?"
"Right, that is how it is. After applying the medicine, the use of special techniques can help the medicine's efficacy penetrate the skin as quickly as possible, thus providing instant results. However, if you don't use the massage technique, in about 2 to 3 days it's enough to eliminate the scar on your leg. Considering Kotori is a girl, there are some things that are inconvenient, so I can very much understand and support you if you choose to apply the medicine yourself."
Hearing Mineo's words, Kotori slowly bit her thin lip. The next second, she lifted her head and looked at Mineo.
"May I ask for Mineo-oniichan's help to apply the medicine on me?"
"I... I want the scar on my leg to disappear immediately."
"I... I'm not that kind of girl, but if the person applying the medicine is Mineo-oniichan... I... I can accept it."
After uttering that sentence, Kotori's face could be said to have turned red and felt hot. She instantly lowered her head and didn't dare to look into Mineo's eyes again.
"Kotori-chan wants me to help you apply the medicine?"
Seeing that Kotori had made her choice, Mineo then said:
"It would be inconvenient to apply the medicine here."
"How about going to the hotel where I'm staying?"
"If you feel uneasy and worried, going to your house is also fine..."
"Let's just go to the hotel where Mineo-oniichan is staying."
"As long as Mineo-oniichan is by my side, there is nothing that makes me feel uneasy or worried."
