The girl under the cherry blossoms, her smile is like a flower

Qingmiya Feng entered the Yagyu Kendo Hall at 9:13, and he originally planned to leave at 9:30.

But should it be said that it was unexpected or expected? They were twenty minutes late, twenty-six minutes to be exact. For Qing Gong Feng who was in the learning state, these twenty minutes could allow him to solve several big questions at the back of the red-covered math exercise book.

But you should understand that if there is a cute, fluffy cat in front of you, and it raises its chin towards you, no one can refuse to step forward and pet it.

Therefore, for the extra twenty-six minutes, Qing Gong Feng has only one word to describe it: worth it!

If possible, he hoped that these twenty-six minutes could be extended by five... No! Extend ten times, just like that Saturday, when he turned into the wind and Chinatsu was the hydrangea, and the wind had a whole day to blow the hydrangea.

But it is obviously not possible today, because I still have to go to Nanamori to visit the Kendo Club. Of course, it is not because of lack of time or insecurity.

"Chinatsu, today's tour may disappoint you."

On the way, Qingmiya Kaede explained this to Yagyu Chinatsu in advance.

"I've heard from Sister Bai Mu."

"How do you feel?"

"You are indeed a pervert."

"......" Qingmiya Feng blinked innocently, "What do you mean?" He actually knew what Yagyu Chinatsu was thinking, but there was nothing wrong in asking.

"There is no one as good as you in both academics and swordsmanship, right, senpai?"

Chinatsu Yagyu's gaze really looked like she was looking at a pervert.

"I'm just a little better at studying, a little better at kendo, and a little better at singing than ordinary people." Qing Gong Feng admitted shyly.

"...How shameless."

"It would be better to describe this as confidence."

"Narcissism."

"Then you are narcissistic." Qing Gong Feng raised his head with a proud look on his face.

At this moment, Yagyu Chinatsu really had the urge to grab Qing Gong Feng's face. How could there be such a person? It's so annoying!

"Chinatsu, my Chinatsu." Qing Gong Feng held her hand. It was very soft, and her fingers were very thin. He couldn't help but knead it gently.

Yagyu Chinatsu glanced at him with no expression on her face, her eyes probably saying - what are you doing?!

"I'm already looking forward to living with Chinatsu." Qingmiya Feng said.

"What do you mean by cohabitation? We just live in the same house."

As she spoke, the corners of Yagyu Chinatsu's mouth slightly raised. After all, there were more people who were looking forward to it than just Kiyomiya Kaede.

"Eh? If that's the case, then Chinatsu and I have been living together for ten years? That's a long time ago!"

"You should listen to what people say!"

"Hahaha!"

Ignoring the gazes of the people around them with different emotions, the two walked into the station together.

?

"Shirayama... We have arrived at Shirayama Station..."

The broadcast voice, which was already very familiar to Qingmiya Feng, sounded a bit novel to Yagyu Chinatsu. Her bright eyes looked around through the window.

After getting off the bus and turning the corner, there is a not-too-long slope. Every spring, cherry blossoms on both sides bloom.

Going up the hill with Kiyomiya Kaede, Yagyu Chinatsu felt a strange feeling welling up from the bottom of her heart. She seemed to see Kiyomiya Kaede passing by here every day, saying hello to people and playing with familiar classmates...

"How about it?"

In response to Qingmiya Kaede's question, Yagyu Chinatsu's expression softened, like some ice cream that had melted.

“It’s nice, I like it here.”

"It seems that Nanamori Academy is really good to be liked by Chinatsu." Qingmiya Feng looked as if Nanamori Academy had gotten a great advantage.

Yagyu Chinatsu looked at Kiyomiya Kaede and didn't say what was in her heart - that would make this man even more proud. Although his proud look didn't make her feel disgusted, it would be more like she liked it, but Yagyu Chinatsu still didn't plan to say it out loud.

After successfully entering the academy, Qingmiya Feng originally thought that it would take some effort to bring Yagyu Chinatsu in, but who knew that the guard at the door was particularly easy to talk to.

Since the teaching building and the club activity building of Nanamori Academy were not connected, there was no need to change into indoor shoes unless they were going into the classroom. They walked through the school building and out into the courtyard in the sunshine.

Surprisingly, the baseball team was also training. After thinking about it, Qingmiya Feng remembered that the Koshien preliminaries were also in late July, so this made sense.

Kiyomiya Kaede explained to Yagyu Chinatsu, but Yagyu Chinatsu just nodded slightly. She was not interested in baseball as a sport, especially the fact that she had to train under the sun, which made her even more repulsed.

Although kendo training will make you sweat, there is no need to expose yourself to the sun. No girl wants her skin to be tanned.

"Do they have a good chance of winning?" asked Chinatsu Yagyu in an okay tone.

"I don't know, but in all the years since Nanamori was founded, it seems that they have only made it to Koshien once."

Qingmiya Feng shook his head. He didn't pay much attention to baseball, and none of his friends knew how to play the sport. This showed that baseball's title of being the most popular sport in Japan might be a little exaggerated.

"It sounds a bit miserable." After a pause, Yagyu Chinatsu added, "It's the same as the Kendo Club."

Qingmiya Feng laughed with a bit of schadenfreude. If Shiraki Ryoko were here and heard the two of them say this, she would definitely start complaining and say something about the collective consciousness that the school's reputation is our reputation and so on.

"But with me this year and Chinatsu next year, Nanamori's Kendo Club is destined to flourish." Qingmiya Feng said without any modesty.

Chinatsu Yagyu rolled her eyes at him. What a guy, he even mentioned her name when bragging. It seemed like he had suddenly become that arrogant person.

At around ten o'clock in the morning in Tokyo, the temperature had already exceeded thirty degrees, and was even approaching thirty-five degrees. Just walking outside for a while would make one sweat profusely.

What was even more puzzling was that the wind was there just now, but it disappeared when he came to Nanamori, and Nanamori was on a hill! Or was it that the wind, like him, preferred the Arakawa District and rejected the Bunkyo District?

Qing Gong Feng couldn't understand. Although he had once turned into the wind, that was only in terms of consciousness. Besides, even if his body turned into the wind, he still couldn't understand the wind's thoughts, just like he had once turned into a cat but could only stare at other cats and meow at each other.

"The Kendo Club should have turned on the air conditioning, they will be here soon."

Kiyomiya Kaede said to Yagyu Chinatsu in a gentle voice.

The wealthy Nanamori would not cut off the power and water supply during the summer vacation, otherwise the sweaty baseball team members would have nowhere to take a shower.

"Ah."

Walking across the howling baseball field, Qing Gong Feng looked at the plastic track of the stadium, and suddenly a distant memory emerged.

At that time, when I saw my classmate Ye Yue being bullied, I was very angry and punished Koike Hisaed by making him run on this track. It was already the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the temperature was rising. Koike Hisaed even sprained his ankle because of this.

Thinking back now, my actions at that time were somewhat reckless, but fortunately the result was not bad, and Koike Hisae’s nature was not bad either, and the two even became friends.

People's thoughts are always jumping. After thinking of one thing, other things will come to mind like a chain. He thought of Shizuko Koike again. Like her sister, they both have fox-like eyes and are very shrewd, but on the other hand, they are equally clumsy.

At the same time, Qing Gong Feng saw the sports warehouse in the corner of the stadium. Like a galgame, as soon as the picture appeared, the corresponding sound also played.

The moon-white bra and the five large hills of Rina inevitably appeared, as well as Koike Hisae's trembling voice that was obviously extremely shy but still pretended to be calm...

Kind of bad...

Qing Gong Feng overestimated his healthy body and underestimated his long-lasting memory.

What happened three months ago can still be played like a movie without any lag.

"What's wrong with you?" Yagyu Chinatsu suddenly asked, tilting her head.

"...I'm a little thirsty." Qing Gong Feng coughed lightly. He didn't tell the truth, and he couldn't tell the truth. He claimed to be an honest man, but he couldn't be honest to this extent.

"Why are you acting like a kid?" As she spoke, she took out her water bottle from her cloth bag, which contained iced barley tea.

Qing Gong Feng took it, unscrewed the lid and drank two gulps.

"There is a vending machine in school, but it's not filled with water."

“That’s why I say it’s just a child’s idea.”

"Um--then, Chinatsu-nee?"

Qing Gong Feng blinked, and seemed to be pretending to be younger.

Yagyu Chinatsu turned her face away with disgust, but one could still see a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.

"childish."

After walking for a few more minutes, the community activity building came into view.

"It's really big!"

Yagyu Chinatsu sighed.

The classrooms and club rooms of her junior high school are in the same building. One has to walk a few dozen meters from the main gate to the school building, and the playground is on the other side of the school building. The area of ​​the entire school is not even as big as the Nanamori Baseball Field and the stadium.

"Well, it is indeed big, but it is unnecessarily big. It would be better to connect the teaching building with the club building with an overhead corridor."

But the actual situation is that the office building and the teaching building are connected, while another important activity venue for students - the club activity building - is left to the other side. This is unreasonable, really unreasonable.

On the shorter side of the "L"-shaped club activity building, where the kendo club trains, Kiyomiya Kaede pushed the door open and walked in without hesitation, followed by Yagyu Chinatsu.

There are not many people training, only half of the usual number, about fifteen or sixteen people. This is after the participants have been confirmed. If the Yulong Flag is still far away, there will be even fewer people coming here to train.

Because compared to a sports game where there is no chance of winning, going to a cram school to study and review knowledge is more in line with the values ​​of these smart people.

This situation is normal. After all, not everyone thinks they have a future in kendo. They are more talented in studying, so naturally they will spend more time on studying.

"Ah! Chinatsu is here, welcome!"

Hearing the noise, Shiraki Ryoko came over happily. She was taking a break at the time, and Kiyomiya Kaede had already informed Yagyu Chinatsu that she was going to visit the Nanamori Kendo Club, so she was not surprised at all.

"Sister Bai Mu, good afternoon."

Yagyu Chinatsu restrained her expression and bowed slightly to Shiraki Ryoko.

"Good afternoon, Chinatsu, come here, it's hot."

Shiraki Ryoko greeted Yagyu Chinatsu with a smile, completely ignoring Kiyomiya Kaede.

"Hey! Sister Bai Mu, I'm here too, why don't you ask anything?"

You don't even have to think about who said this.

"Who are you?" Shiraki Ryoko held Chinatsu Yagyu's hand and stared at Kiyomiya Kaede with an unfriendly look.

"My name is Qing Gong Feng, a non-staff member of the Kendo Club."

"The regular staff members arrived at around seven in the morning, but you, the non-staff member, only came at almost eleven?!" Shiraki Ryoko put her hands on her hips, her eyes wide open.

"This..." Qing Gong Feng and Yagyu Chinatsu looked at each other, "Something special happened."

"Special case?"

"Yes, that's right, but it has been resolved, Sister Baimu, don't worry." Qing Gong Feng patted his chest, looking reliable as if he had left everything to me.
