In a physical education class after the Golden Week, the boys and girls were separated, and then the teacher announced some information about the spring sports festival just held this year. After all, it is becoming more and more popular to hold spring and autumn sports festivals, especially here in Tokyo.
.
"There is not much time left before the sports festival, so we need to decide on the projects quickly and start practicing."
"Well, the boys' project is-"
"100m short distance walk, 1200m long distance walk, men's relay race, hurdle race and mixed gender obstacle race."
"Oh, there are also team games - tug-of-war, two-person three-legged, horse fighting and stick knocking."
…
"The girls' events are 100m short distance walk, borrowed object race, women's relay run, netball competition and mixed gender obstacle race."
"I'm really looking forward to the relay race!" Hanamiya Kana was sitting in the crowd, listening to the teacher in front of her introducing the newly held sports festival, and was looking forward to her favorite event.
"The team competition events are tug-of-war, long rope jumping and horseback riding...and the first grade is two-person three-legged competition."
"Are there two people with three legs? I've never heard of it." Hanamiya Kana was a little confused about this.
"Let's form a team."
"Hey, so cunning! I also want to form a team with Hanamiya."
After the teacher left, the girls looked for two people to form a team with them to participate in the sports festival.
"I..." Hanamiya Kana walked to the side and took Nozomi Yagyu's arm, scratched her cheek with the index finger of her right hand and said, "How about I form a team with Yagyu-san!"
"Ah, can't you?"
"Really!? Please give me some advice." After getting the other party's consent, Hanamiya Kana was very happy, holding Nozomi Yagyu's hands and said.
"Now that Chana has decided."
"But instead you must take first place!"
The girls who originally wanted to team up with Hanamiya Kana started to encourage her.
"We will work hard..." Hanamiya Kana was interrupted before she could finish her words: "Please wait a moment."
"If you want to win, then you have to let the fastest runners form a team together...Kana should team up with me!"
"You still have to form a team according to speed, if you really want to get first place!" Shitori Ito, the future ace of the women's basketball club who came from the same middle school as Hanamiya Kana, said why he disagreed.
Shitori Ito, with agility that no one else could imagine with her body type, joined the women's basketball club and became the main force of the team in just over a month. She is the kind of person who always speaks her mind no matter what she encounters.
His character, coupled with his excellent leadership, made him a candidate for the next captain.
"So Kana should be on my team!" Ito Shitori put one hand on her waist and put the other hand on Hanamiya Kana's shoulder: "Of course, if Yagyu-san doesn't agree, we can team up with Kana separately.
Let’s compare the difference in speed.”
After getting Nozomi Yagyu's consent, Ito Shitori directly pulled Hanamiya Kana beside him to the center of the runway, and tied his left foot and her opponent's right foot together with a ribbon.
"Hey, why did it suddenly turn into a race?" Hanamiya Kana was stunned, looking very confused about this.
…
"Arrived!" As the female classmate who was the referee waved her right arm down, the combination of Shitori Ito and Kana Hanamiya successfully completed the 50m two-person three-legged run.
Next is the 50m two-person three-legged run by Nozomi Yagyu and Kana Hanamiya.
"So fast!" In the astonishment of the people around them, Yagyu and Hanamiya rushed straight to the finish line like three-legged creatures.
"arrive!"
"I lost, what happened to that speed just now?" Ito Shitori was a little unbelievable at the speed of Hanamiya and Yagyu.
"Is it a tactic?"
"Yagyu, how on earth did you do it?"
"Are there any tricks in it?"
The female classmates who were watching around came over to ask.
"Sure enough, what a tactic!" Ito Shitori looked like that.
"Try not to let your weight hang on your body as much as possible!" Yagyu gave his own answer.
"Is it possible to master Chanel's characteristics by letting people run first?"
"Two-person three-legged action is indeed a competition that values timing more than physical fitness."
"What a calm and accurate judgment!"
The result of this battle for Hanamiya Kana was that Nozomi Yagyu won the championship due to her huge advantage in speed.
…
Going back in time, on the night of the last day of Golden Week, when everyone else was worrying about homework, only Kimura Takuya was still taking a bath in the entire bathhouse.
While he was humming a tune happily and rubbing foam on his head, the door of the bathhouse was opened.
The scene was very embarrassing for a while. After all, Kimura Takuya was seen as a very aloof (reclusive) person in the eyes of others. He never showed a smile in baseball club activities. Even when he was on the pitcher's mound, his face was always expressionless.
During training, he never talked nonsense to others that had nothing to do with baseball. He rarely got closer to other club members. He thought he had created an image among others of a handsome guy who didn't talk much and was aloof.
Now, he was actually humming in a bathhouse where he was the only one. The personality he had established before had completely collapsed, and he was still in front of a very annoying person like Miyuki Kazuya!
Yes, the person who came in happened to be Miyuki Kazuya, Kimura Takuya's classmate.
Kimura Takuya looked over and looked away again, looking a little embarrassed.
Miyukiichi didn't say anything, walked over to Kimura Takuya and sat down, turned on the shower and started washing his hair.
The atmosphere became more and more solemn, neither of them spoke, and the only sound in the entire bathhouse was the sound of water spraying from the shower head hitting the hair.
"Takuya is thinking about how to talk to me, right?" Miyukiichi also spoke first.
Sure enough, no matter in the past or now, it is the catcher who talks to me, the pitcher, first.
"Um?"
"After you take a shower, Takuya, would you like to go with me to try out the hunting practice?"
This question is really strange. You have already finished taking a shower, why do you still need to sweat it out? Kimura Takuya refused without even thinking about it.
Miyukiichi also heard Kimura Takuya's answer and said directly, "Takuya, you really don't look like a pitcher."
These words were so incomprehensible that he instantly felt a fire rising in his heart. Without saying anything, he rinsed off the foam on his body and directly stood up to take a bath in the bathtub.
What kind of person should a standard pitcher be? One who has an inexplicable obsession with the pitcher's mound and catching pitches with the catcher. He has to follow the catcher every time he hooks his finger?
Maybe he was like this in the past, but unfortunately he will never go back to the past. He, Takuya Kimura, is himself first, and then a pitcher.
