[Headless Horseman DRRR] A Girl's Discord

young athlete.

Looking at the familiar faces on the TV, Haruka Nanase couldn't help but recall the days of training together.Running, stretching, bracing, launching into the water, and being dragged by Matsuoka Rin and Takeuchi to compete after the training, there were always a few days in the beginning when I was exhausted.In the youthful years of galloping and whipping past, the blood churned in the warm chest, and submerged the body in the water, and felt that I could swim in the water forever, tirelessly, regardless of why.It would be nice if I could never wake up from a dream like a dream in the mirror.

The game is about to start, the athletes are on their respective platforms, and the referee is in place.The arena fell silent, and the audience consciously shut their mouths and stopped talking, waiting with bated breath.Along with the quiet, is the tense atmosphere of the whole scene.

The preparatory order was issued, and the athletes arched their bodies.Matsuoka Rin is three ways, and Takeuchi Kawatani is six ways.

"Beep—" The referee pressed the trigger, and the athletes jumped into the water with lightning speed!Nanase Haruka clenched her hands on her thighs fiercely, his throat began to tighten, and his trachea seemed to be blocked.

Rin Matsuoka is very fast and has a bit more than the others at the beginning.But... the four-way players bite very tightly, and there is a tendency to overtake.The white figure was ups and downs, but one could tell that this was a western player.The narrator's voice was high-pitched and full of passion. Matsuoka Rin and a foreign name were repeated several times by his sharp articulation.

The last 20 meters!

The 50-meter butterfly is almost a sprint from the beginning to the end.Now is the final stage of the sprint, each lane is splashed with white water, and the water in the entire swimming pool is almost stirred up.Athletes move through the water with extraordinary speed.The raised arms and the swaying legs are a gesture of conquering the water.

Four Western players are still following closely, but there is no time left.

The narrator shouted Matsuoka Rin's name.

The last 5 meters.

Rin Matsuoka pressed the water's palm against the wall of the pool, and the sensor responded sensitively.

No.1, Rin Matsuoka of the three Japanese teams

The cheers of the audience almost overturned the swimming pool.Afterwards, Western players from Sidao and Takeuchi from Liudao touched the wall one after another, occupying the second and third places.Rin Matsuoka took off her swimming goggles and panted heavily against the floating rail.The joy of victory welled up in my heart.He smiled flamboyantly and proudly.

——I won, Haruka.

Nanase Haruka was staring at the TV screen, the light in her dark blue eyes beating fiercely.Won, that person won, won the championship for the first time in the world arena.He couldn't express how he felt right now.It's just that there is such an excited but complicated emotion that firmly binds him.Matsuoka Rin was the fire, igniting the long-suffering enthusiasm in his heart.That person's swimming posture, that person's fighting spirit on the field, everything turned into an invisible hand, grabbing him and dragging him to that unstoppable intensity.It seemed that he was standing on the field at this time, seeing that person win the championship with his own eyes, bathed in the glory of victory.However, I... can only watch.

In the third year of high school, Matsuoka Rin faced himself, his facial expression was almost tangled into a ball, obviously arrogant and embarrassed, but his tone was still straightforward and arrogant.He said, "Yao, the national team...do you want to come together?"

—Okay, I'll go with you.

——Just keep swimming together, Rin.I really want to……

Nanase Haruka didn't say this at the time.

And now Nanase Haruka, he sat slumped on the sofa, huddled together, his right hand tightly grabbed and wrinkled the clothes around his heart.As if an unknown pain enveloped him, he clenched his lower lip.

Can we stand together on the court again?

Do I still have such qualifications?

The author has something to say:

—I made a notch at the very top of the heart and put you there.

CH.05

Yuko Ito is a full-time reporter for one of Japan's largest media websites.She was honored to be the accompanying reporter of the World Championships this time and flew to Australia with the national team.The national team achieved outstanding results in this World Championships. Most of the players entered the semi-finals, and many of them made it all the way to the finals, winning medals in multiple events.It is worthy of being lamented by the outside world for a long time, the heyday of the Japanese swimming industry.

Yuko Ito was thinking about doing some small interviews with the talented athletes.They all live in the same hotel, and they only need to knock on the door one by one and visit in the hotel room.This is not only true and friendly, but also can collect good materials in the first time, adding writing materials to the website's World Championship report articles.

After making up her mind, Yuko Ito called the editor-in-chief.Her interview plan was approved immediately, and the editor-in-chief praised it as a good idea.

Yuko Ito cheered up after being affirmed, dragged the sleepy-eyed photographer early in the morning, and rushed to the hotel where the athletes lived when the swimming team had almost no competition.Guessing that they were all up, Yuko Ito asked the room number of each athlete, made a list of interviews, and hurriedly walked straight to the single room area on the third floor.

Goal [-]: Rin Matsuoka of the men's racing team

The reason why this athlete is listed first is not because he won the gold medals in the 50-meter butterfly and the 200-meter butterfly alone.It's because - he broke the record! The world record in the 200-meter butterfly was broken yesterday by a player from South Africa who had held it for four years.The new record now belongs to Rin Matsuoka.I have to say that this 20-year-old athlete is indeed a rare swimming genius.

Not to mention his rapid rise in popularity.Powerful swimming strokes, firm eyes, and...a pretty face.

Outstanding, eye-catching, flamboyant, handsome.This man can be described as almost perfect.Yuko Ito believes that it will not be long before he will become another sports star in the sports world and lead the trend.

Yuko Ito stood in front of Rin Matsuoka's room and took a deep breath.She settled down and mustered up the courage to raise her hand and knock on the door.

"Who?"

Soon, a man's slightly low but pleasant voice came from the room.

"Excuse me, Mr. Matsuoka Rin, I am the accompanying reporter Yuko Ito. I want to interview you, do you have time now?"

There was silence in the room for a while, and when Yuko Ito wanted to speak again, the door was opened.

Rin Matsuoka was wearing a tracksuit, his slightly long red hair was tied behind his head, and his wine red eyes were staring at the petite girl in front of him.

Ito Yuko's eyes lit up, and she sighed in her heart that it was the first time to see him so close, what a beautiful person.

Matsuoka Rin invited her into the house, and she smiled and thanked Matsuoka Rin.

After entering the room, Ito Yuko asked Matsuoka Rin to sit on the sofa in the guest room, ready to start the interview.She motioned to the photographer to take pictures, then sat up straight, showed her usual work appearance, and raised the microphone to Rin Matsuoka.

Perhaps because he had no experience in interviews before, Matsuoka Rin was a little awkward, and then gradually got used to it.

It starts with the old-fashioned statement, asking about the feeling of winning the award and the current situation.But Yuko Ito is not only satisfied with these.What she hopes is to dig out some deeper things in Rin Matsuoka during the half hour or so.For reporters, Rin Matsuoka has this value, and they need news about him.

She smiled and asked: "Mr. Matsuoka, I saw the look in your eyes during the competition... um... How should I put it, I always feel that compared with other contestants, you seem to hide something deeper in your heart. So I am very happy Curious, are there some people and things in your previous life that touched you and cared about you? Did they have a certain influence on your swimming?"

This is an inquisitive question that is commonplace. Let the athletes thank the coach and family members, and improve the theme to complete the task successfully.

But Rin Matsuoka was silent.He paused for a long time, and there seemed to be dark waves surging in his wine red eyes, as if he was remembering something.

Yuko Ito was puzzled, and just as she was trying to get past this question, Rin Matsuoka spoke.

"In the beginning... it was my dad. He wanted to be an Olympian, but he ended up being a fisherman. I made a promise to him when I was very young that I was going to be an Olympian. Achieve what he couldn't achieve Dream, to go where he failed to reach, to stand on the podium he has always yearned for... I think he will be happy." Matsuoka Rin recalled, showing a sad but relieved expression.Yuko Ito thought he was going to cry, but no.Matsuoka Rin's eyes were bright, but they were always dry, and there was no redness around the eyes.

It turned out to be the father.

Yuko Ito understood. She checked Matsuoka Rin's information and naturally knew the fact that his father died young.A child who inherits his father's dream?This content is good.

But what Matsuoka Rin said next surprised her.

"But I have a... friend," Rin Matsuoka continued, "if it was my father who gave me the idea of ​​becoming an Olympian, he was the one who inspired me and stayed with me along the way. And in When I was most confused and helpless, he helped me to understand what my dream was. It was not my father's dream, but my own dream."

"He is very talented in swimming. My favorite thing to do when I was a teenager was to compete with him and regard him as a benchmark and an opponent. Only by beating him can I confirm my progress. But it is a pity that he only swims freestyle... "
