As a member of the Aldegyr royal family, even though Kanase Kanon was born out of wedlock, La Folia Rihavein did not treat her unfairly. Not only did she arrange for Kanon to stay at the MAR-affiliated hospital, but she also specially prepared a standalone VIP ward for her, ensuring that Kanon received the best care and rehabilitation, both physically and mentally, better than ever before.
Under La Folia's guidance, the group arrived at Kanon's ward.
Despite being the first princess, La Folia unexpectedly adhered to etiquette. Upon reaching the ward, she skillfully knocked on the door.
"It's me, La Folia. May I come in?"
La Folia Rihavein asked with a gentler tone than before.
After a short while, a softer and more serene voice resonated from inside the ward.
"Yes, please come in."
The voice reached everyone's ears, allowing them to easily sense the purity, innocence, and kindness in its owner's heart.
"Then..."
La Folia Rihavein opened the door, allowing everyone to enter the ward one by one.
The ward that appeared before everyone was extremely fitting for the term "VIP." Not only was it spacious, but it was also luxuriously furnished.
In addition to various furniture, there was a large LCD TV on the wall, capable of tuning into various paid channels.
Opposite the wall with the large LCD TV hung a bed.
On the bed sat a girl in a hospital gown, covering her lower body with a blanket. As she watched everyone enter, an incredulous expression appeared on her face.
"You...?"
The girl named Kanon Kanase slightly widened her eyes.
"Kanon-chan!"
Nagisa was the first to approach, happily calling out her name.
"Nagisa-chan? And Avrora is here too?"
Kanon Kanase only realized now, her delicate and beautiful face showing surprise.
"We... came to visit you."
Avrora said somewhat shyly.
"I met everyone outside, so I brought them over."
La Folia Rihavein also offered a slight explanation, finally making Kanon Kanase understand.
"Thank you, Nagisa-chan, and Avrora, for coming to visit."
Kanon Kanase bowed her head to everyone, expressing her gratitude. Although she appeared very polite, her eyes were much brighter than before, telling others that she was indeed very happy about everyone's visit.
Rozen, Yukina, and Sayaka Kirasaka couldn't help but sigh as they looked at Kanon Kanase in this state.
Especially Rozen.
(Who would have thought that such a polite child had previously been like a monster, bleeding and crying, with wings with eyeballs, and making cries like a monster?)
Rozen gazed at Kanon Kanase, feeling somewhat amazed.
"So you're Kanase-san?" Kojou, unaware of what had happened, only noticed the striking resemblance between La Folia Rihavein and Kanon Kanase and introduced himself after a while: "I'm Akatsuki Kojou, Nagisa's brother. Thank you for taking care of my sister."
"I... I'm Himeragi Yukina, I just transferred here this year." Yukina also quickly introduced herself, bowing and saying, "Please take care of me, Kanase-san."
"Hello, everyone." Although Kanon Kanase was confused by Kojou and Yukina's arrival, she still smiled very gently.
Kanon Kanase received everyone in this manner, being quiet, gentle, and polite throughout. Paired with her overly sacred appearance and the noble aura of being a member of the royal family, she was simply fascinating.
To be honest, Rozen only now finally understood why the boys in the Middle-school referred to Kanon Kanase as a saint.
Because there was no better way to describe Kanon Kanase.
Kensei Kanase wanted to transform her into an angel?
That was completely unnecessary.
This girl was already an angel.
If we're talking about purity alone, the current Kanase Kanon is indeed a true angel, isn't she?
"Even though she can't compare to my Yukina... but this child is not bad..." Kirasaka Sayaka muttered quietly beside, giving off a somewhat dangerous vibe for some reason.
"What are you here for anyway?" Rozen couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed.
"Ah..." At this moment, a small voice came from Kanase Kanon's direction.
"Hmm?" Rozen raised his head and looked over.
The next moment, Rozen met eyes with Kanase Kanon.
"You are..." Kanase Kanon gazed at Rozen standing at the back, as if recognizing him, showing a mix of surprise and wonder.
It seemed that Kanase Kanon had recognized Rozen's identity.
"Could it be... Minamiya-senpai...?" Kanase Kanon confirmed somewhat uncertainly.
"Hello, Kanase-san." Rozen smiled at Kanase Kanon, confirming that Kanase Kanon hadn't mistaken him.
"Nichiyo-jun also came to see you, Kanon-chan. Are you happy?" Nagisa spoke playfully to Kanase Kanon.
According to Nagisa, Kanase Kanon seemed to admire Rozen a little. Shouldn't she be happy to see Rozen come to visit her?
And it seemed like she wasn't just making it up.
"Mm..." Kanase Kanon lifted her gaze, sneakily looking at Rozen, then blushing slightly, seeming shy but unwilling to deceive, and nodded awkwardly.
"I... am very happy. Thank you for coming to visit me, Minamiya-senpai." Although Kanase Kanon felt shy, she still politely bowed her head in thanks to Rozen.
"No need to be polite, it's only natural." Rozen then wore a smile and said so.
"And also, it's not just us who came to visit you, there are these little guys too, you know?" As Rozen finished speaking, a cardboard box suddenly appeared in his arms.
In the box, tiny heads started to pop out.
"Meow!"
"Meow!"
Cute meows immediately came from the mouths of the owners of those tiny heads.
They were the cats Rozen had encountered at the church before.
"You guys..." Seeing this scene, this time, Kanase Kanon finally showed a surprised and delighted expression.
"It's... cats! Cats came out!" Yukina was also excited, pulling Kirasaka Sayaka beside her, her emotions becoming extremely excited.
"Yes, yes, I know. It's just like before, you still love cats so much." Kirasaka Sayaka smiled faintly, but there was a hint of indulgence in her words.
Only Rozen then came to Kanase Kanon's side with the cardboard box.
"These cats are the stray cats you adopted at the church, right?" Rozen said to Kanase Kanon, "I'm sorry, but for some reason, the church has been mostly destroyed now, and these cats are homeless. Plus, you weren't there, so I took the liberty of bringing them to school, asking my classmates to help take them in. Today, I specially brought them here to let you see them."
That's why the cats appeared here.
"So these children have been adopted?" Kanase Kanon finally understood what was going on, and with a gentle expression, she gently touched the heads of the cats one by one.
At this moment, everyone present experienced a brief moment of trance.
Just because the gentle expression of this girl as she caressed the cats was incredibly pure.
