[Free! ] why are you biting me

When she heard Otoha Shun's "reminder", the girl who seemed to have fallen into the obsession with what she longed for blinked her eyes, raised her hand and patted her forehead, rubbing her eyes sparkling next to the long-haired boy, Staring eagerly at Matsuoka Jiang, he asked her:

"Have they always trained like this?"

They are actually doing swimming training directly in the sea, they are too good!

Matsuoka scratched his face with a dry smile, but did not deny it.

"Well, because our association's activities are short of funds, we have to pay for the training camp here, and the only swimming pool has been occupied by your school... But even if you don't occupy it, we can't afford it haha..."

If you can't afford to rent a swimming pool, you have to swim in the natural "pool". Fortunately, the requirements for the people in their swimming department are relatively low. As long as you can swim, you can go anywhere.

It is unimaginable for Hitomi Otoha and Samegara Academy to be so constrained, because in her opinion, everyone looks super powerful, so it is impossible for the school not to provide funds?

Thinking of this, the girl in men's clothing also naturally asked the questions in her heart, and was then seriously popularized by the girl Matsuoka.

"Because we are a newly established club and haven't produced any results yet, so we can't prove our value to the school, so there must be no activity funds~"

In this regard, Hitomi Otoha's conclusion is:

"...Your school is too good."

Then she was rudely poked in the face by the boy in women's clothing sitting next to her!

"Nonsense~ The school must have their own reasons for making such regulations. If we don't understand, don't judge casually~"

Looking at the red-haired man who was standing not far away, but whose eyes kept falling on Matsuoka E, Otoha raised his eyebrows subtly.

"So, why did you two come here? Don't you need to train in the afternoon?"

Not realizing that he was acting like an idiot, Miko Chai raised his hand and grabbed his hair, then pointed in the direction of Songgangjiang and smiled:

"Because it's the last day, I just let everyone move freely. It's rare to come here once, and I haven't fully enjoyed the scenery here yet."

He completely ignored Otoha Shun who asked this question, but the boy in female disguise didn't care, but turned to look at the girl next to him, and the other party did not disappoint him, Otoha Hitomi automatically took over the conversation, and very consciously added .

"Well, everyone has visited other places on the island, but we still haven't visited Rin. The minister said he wanted to come here to have a look, so we came together."

Otoyu Shun intentionally elongated his tone, said "Oh" in a very meaningful way, glanced at the minister jokingly, and then nodded with deep emotion.

"That's it, I understand!"

While they were chatting, the boy from Iwatobi's swimming club had already swam back from the other side of the sea, and the last one was Ryusaki who had left a deep impression on everyone in the practice match with Samagata last time. pity.

Apparently, the teenager who hadn't learned how to swim struggled to follow Nanase Haruka and the others to complete the training with the help of the swimming board, and now he was panting vigorously as if he was about to collapse after landing.

"Hey, everyone has worked hard! Just wipe it off!"

After giving everyone a towel, Matsuoka opened the notebook in his hand, compared the training data of the past few days, and then encouraged everyone very gratifyingly.

"Today's results are better than yesterday's! Great! We are improving every day, which shows that our training methods are not wrong. If we continue, everyone's results will definitely improve!"

Holding an umbrella, Tianfang Meifan affirmed the wine-red long-haired girl's words:

"Hey, that's what Xiao Jiang said, your hard work will be rewarded!"

"Well! We also feel that compared to the first day's strenuous effort, now we are getting more and more comfortable, right Haruka?"

Nanase Haruka was used to Makoto subconsciously turning the topic around him, but the young man who had always been emotionless just nodded expressionlessly, and spat out the word "um" with care.

"Yeah! In this case, the hard work is worth it!"

Ye Yuezhu jumped up happily, and by the way, he slung onto the waist of Rei Ryuzaki who was still panting, knocking the boy who hadn't recovered yet.

"By the way, why are you still so energetic, Mouth!"

"Eh? Me? Because I'm happy^^"

"...what a weird reason OTZ"

Rei Ryuzaki felt that he would never be able to vomit Nagisa's complaints. In order to divert his attention, he turned his eyes, and the next second he saw the twins sitting in the pavilion for people to rest on the coast, and the twins who were hugging each other. red-haired man standing with arms crossed.

"Huh? Isn't that... the people from Shagara? Why are they here?"

"Oh~ You mean Big Brother Hitomi and the others? Their training camp is over, so come here and relax!"

Matsuoka waved his hand, and took the lead in walking towards the people she was talking about. The teenagers from the Iwato swimming club looked at each other and followed curiously.

This seems to be the first time that Hitomi Otoha and her elder brother appeared in front of everyone in the Iwatobi Swimming Club. The teenagers who were curious about the twins immediately turned their eyes around the twins after returning from training in the sea. Even Nanase Haruka looked at the two with a paralyzed face for a while before turning her head in silence.

Among them, Ye Yuezhu's reaction was the most direct.

"Oh~ so amazing, so amazing! You really look exactly the same!"

Otoha looked at him with a smile, while Otoha Hitomi nodded solemnly:

"Well, because it's twins. Have you been swimming in the ocean all day?"

"Eh? Not really. We have a break at noon. By the way, are you all about the same height and weight?"

"No, it's actually a lot worse, so what if you suddenly lose your strength while swimming in the sea?"

"Then try your best to swim ashore and then you can rest. If you look so similar, will your parents admit their mistakes?"

"Well, they often admit mistakes, what if someone behind you falls behind?"

"No, we all pay attention to the movement behind us, and we can know immediately when there is no movement. Why would even our own parents admit their mistakes? Isn't it even more difficult for others to recognize them?"

"Well, because they are idiots, is it fun for you to swim in the sea? Next time, take me with you?"

"Hey, stop, stop!"

Finally, Otoyu raised his hand and interrupted the quick question and answer of the two people who completely ignored others, got up and hooked the arm of the girl in men's clothing and pulled her back a step, preventing Ye Yuezhu from answering.Otherwise, based on the answers that these two people gave in a flash, it is estimated that the boy opposite would nod and say yes without hesitation.

Otoyu looked at the boy with warm yellow hair across from him with a blinking smile, and lowered his voice:

"Yeah, if you keep asking, our house will probably be blown out~"

"……Eh?"

Ye Yuezhu's eyes widened, and after he realized it, he couldn't help waving his hands in shame:

"Please don't mind! I'm just curious, I don't mean anything else! Please don't get me wrong >_<"

"Well, don't be nervous, I understand ^^"

"That's great..."

Only then did Ye Yuezhu heave a sigh of relief, and Tachibana Makoto also heaved a sigh of relief. You must know that the scene just now made people dumbfounded, and I don't know how the antennas of the two people were connected. It's like we've known each other for a long time OTZ

Just at this time, Tianfang Meifan and Matsuoka Jiang, who were going to prepare dinner on the way, came back with two large-looking bags. Seeing this, Tachibana Makoto hurried up to help.

"Ah, thank you for your help, it's really hard!"

Rubbing the hand with several red marks on it, Tian Fang Miho, who was the most important person present, smiled and invited Hitomi Otoha and the others to have dinner together.

Before Otoha Shun could refuse, Miko Chai quickly agreed.

"Oh, what a shame! Will it bother you too much?"

"No, no! We have prepared a lot of food! You are all welcome!"

"Then we're really welcome!"

Obviously he wanted to stay, but the red-haired man dragged the other two into the water without hesitation.Fortunately, Otoyu Shun was well aware of the attention in his heart and did not expose it.

Several people had a lively pizza meal together, and Matsuoka watched as Ye Yuenagi snatched a few pieces of fruit from Tachibana Makoto and Ryuzaki Rei like a greedy child when they were not paying attention Coming over, I couldn't help muttering to myself:

"It would be nice if my brother was in there."

Her voice was already very low, but Hitomi Otoha, who was standing next to her, caught her attention, and the girl in men's clothing who was eating pizza stopped suddenly.

Hitomi Otoha has been thinking for a long time that something must have happened between Rin and the boys in the Iwatobi swimming club. Although she didn't know what it was, she felt that it must be something that Rin was very concerned about. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a complicated look in his eyes every time he sees them—it's like... the feeling of self-entanglement that he obviously cares about, but forces himself not to care about them.

So at this moment, when she heard what Matsuoka Jiang said to herself, the curiosity in her heart was instantly pulled to the maximum, and she really wanted to know what kind of entanglement existed between Rin and them.

Hitomi Otoha glanced up at Nanase Haruka, then turned to Tachibana Makoto, Hazuki Nagisa, and the last boy with glasses next to him, and finally returned to Nanase Haruka.

She found that whether it was Rin or the other three teenagers, they all seemed to have some inexplicable attachment to him. Was it because he was a particularly good swimmer?

With this question in mind, after everyone dispersed, Hitomi Otoha finally couldn't hold back and went to find Matsuokae alone, and the answer she got from the other party made her even more concerned.

[Brother used to be companions with Senior Haru and the others. They trained in the same swimming pool when they were young, and then formed a team together to win the relay championship in that county competition...]

There is no answer that I thought of at all, but since I was once a companion, why did I come to such an embarrassing situation now?Did something else happen in between?

【…I don’t know, my brother at that time looked very happy, with a smile on his face all the time... It’s just that he went to Australia to study after graduating from elementary school, and he was already like this when he came back.I thought that as long as I let my brother see Haruka-senpai again and recall the past memories, then he will become the same as before, but it still doesn’t seem to work...]

Saying goodbye to Matsuoka, Hitomi Otoha walked alone on the way back to the folk house, all the words that the wine-red long-haired girl said to her echoed in her mind.

Ever since she met Rin, he has always looked like he is not easy to get close to, but once you get close, you will find that he is not as cold as he appears on the surface, although he is always frowning , but he would not really push away the hand that reached out to him when he needed help.

However, Rin with a smile on his face all the time... I can't imagine that scene.

However, I really want to see Rin with such an expression!

Thinking of this, Yiyu Hitomi quickened her pace.

The sky is getting closer to the darkness little by little, and there are night stars all over the sky above the head, embellishing the night of the uninhabited island very brightly, and the chirping of summer insects can be heard from time to time, like a signal light , here for a while, and there for a while.

When the homestay that everyone stayed in appeared in front of the line of sight, the figure standing in front of the homestay with his hands in his pockets also came into view.

Still wearing a black sweatshirt, Rin Matsuoka raised his head slightly, revealing his tight chin. The expression on his face was unclear, but his standing straight figure made him look a little lonely.

Yiyu Tong didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, she just stopped, stood five meters away from him and looked at him steadily, without blinking her eyes.As a result, the other party turned his head at this moment, stared at her expressionlessly and asked:

"What are you doing standing there?"

He had noticed it when she was still further away, and wanted to pretend he didn't see it and tell her to go in quickly, but she stopped there like a fool.

Yiyu Tong was stunned, then trotted a few steps in his direction with a smile, stopped beside him, and called his name happily.

"cold!"

"……doing what?"

"I met Nanase Haruka and the others in the afternoon, and found that they were actually training in the sea. It's amazing, isn't it?"

"..."

"And I made an appointment with them, let them bring me next time, Rin, can you come with me too?"

Her idea was simple, if it was fun for Rin to swim with them in the past, then swim with them again now - not as rivals, like a normal gathering between friends or partners.In this case, will it be easier for Rin to find the feeling he used to have?

However, Matsuoka Rin, who heard her say this, looked at her suddenly as if stimulated, his pupils were dyed so dark that the original color could hardly be seen by the night.Little by little, he raised his eyebrows, lowered his voice and asked softly word by word:

"...Do you have any self-awareness?"

"what?"

Hitomi Otoha looked at him in confusion.

"How far will you have to be exposed before you will remember the fact that you are a girl?"

...was, was discovered OAO

Her heart beat violently, and she took a step back reflexively, her eyes flickering away from his gaze.

"... Rin, Rin, what are you talking about, I'm Otoha Shun! I'm not Otoha Hitomi!"

After being reminded to this point but still wanting to pretend to be stupid, Matsuoka Rin only felt that the nerve in his heart that had been twisted because of her all the time suddenly tightened, and his head ached a little from the pulling, making him Just wanted to do something to vent.

Lifting his foot and taking a step towards her, the boy stared at her condescendingly, his voice was pulled into an uneven line:

"Does something have to be done to you for you to admit this?"

"What, what... um——!"

Yi Yutong raised her head in a panic, and then was taken aback by the face directly pressed down from above, and suddenly there was a soft touch on her lips that did not belong to her in a daze.
