[Headless Horseman DRRR] A Girl's Discord

"...in swimming, no one beats that guy. I don't mean speed, but the perception of the water and the harmony with the water as he swims. He has the most beautiful strokes I've ever seen, The most comfortable. Elegant and nimble, like a dolphin living in the ocean.”

"...Watching him compete, I really understood the meaning of swimming. Only when I watched him swim seriously, did I understand why human beings, a land animal, swim in the water. It is not to conquer the water, but to feel the water, and to communicate with the water. It blends into one, returning to a most primitive posture. He was born for water, and my friends and I feel so."

"That is a person who is very important to me. He used to be, is now, and will be in the future. He used to be my direction, and now I hope that I can walk side by side with him... He better not dislike me."

"That's it." With a gentle and intoxicating tone, Matsuoka Rin showed a smile that made the female reporter stunned. If the camera can zoom in, you will see Matsuoka Rin at this time, his eyes are full of longing for his lover with love.

Blaming Akira for being unprofessional as a reporter, Yuko Ito smiled awkwardly.She suddenly realized something, so she asked: "The person you're talking about, isn't it Takeuchi-san?" He joined the team in the same year, with excellent freestyle results and a close relationship.No matter how you look at it, Matsuoka Rin is talking about another ace of the national team, Takeuchi Kawatani.

But this time Rin Matsuoka quickly replied: "No, it's not Takeuchi. We...have a bad relationship."-In fact, it should be said to be very bad.Rin Matsuoka added in his heart.

Only then did Yuko Ito recall a joke that she heard among the team members a few days ago: If one day Matsuoka/Takeuchi fell into the swimming pool, it must have been pushed down by Takeuchi/Matsuoka.

"Hey, I thought you were just good friends who liked to fight each other."

"I'm sorry, you misunderstood. Absolutely, yes, there is no such thing..." Rin Matsuoka said with a twitch of his mouth.

"So your friend didn't join the national team?"

"He's with the national team...was and is now retired."

…………

Yuko Ito hastily ended the question and started the next aspect of the interview.She is the accompanying reporter for the World Championships, so she can't just gossip like entertainment reporters when she's happy.

——"However, I'm really curious..." Ito Yuko sighed to herself until she left Matsuoka Rin's room.

The cameraman poked his head over and asked blankly, "What are you curious about?"

"..." Yuko Ito rolled his eyes at him, "A man without EQ."

Yuko Ito turned around, her red high-heeled shoes rattled, "Next, next..."

==============================================

"Yes, our relationship is really bad." In front of the camera, Takeuchi Kawatani said with a smile.

Takeuchi Kawatani's name sounds like an uncle, but he himself looks very gentle and delicate.Although not as stunningly beautiful as Matsuoka Rin, Takeuchi's appearance can be regarded as above average.The personality is also relatively cheerful and gentle, which made Yuko Ito feel a lot of affection for him.

He spoke more directly than Rin Matsuoka, and he had an aura of disregard.

Yuko Ito waved for the cameraman to end the recording.After confirming that the camera stopped working, she turned off the microphone, and wanted to see if she could satisfy her curiosity from Takeuchi Kawatani.

"You and Mr. Matsuoka have been training together since joining the team. I heard that there was once a very good freestyle player in the national team. Do you know him?"

She turned off all recording equipment to express her sincerity and would not disclose the contents of the subsequent conversation in public.Takeuchi Kawatani realized what she meant.He narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment before speaking: "Did you hear something interesting?"

"Yes, Mr. Matsuoka said it. He said that senior had a great influence on him."

Takeuchi Kawatani sat up straight, let out a breath, and his voice became a little ethereal, "Yes, there is such a person. I used to compete with him often."

Yuko Ito's eyes lit up, and she asked cautiously, "A private match with senior?"

"It doesn't count. We discuss it during the break and swim around. Just ask someone to help you see the winner or loser. There is no time."

"Well, can I ask what the result of the game is generally...?"

Takeuchi Kawatani smiled heartily, and made an "eight" gesture, "Ten times, I lost eight times."

Watching the female reporter open her mouth in surprise, she looked like she had found a treasure.Takeuchi smiled secretly, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you really want to know who he is?"

Yuko Ito nodded, looking expectantly at Takeuchi Kawatani.

But Takeuchi leaned back in the chair, and said with a tone of successful mischief, "I won't tell you!"

——Am I stupid to tell you the name of the person who has won me countless times?Do I like slapping myself so much?

Of course you are not stupid!Yuko Ito wanted to cry but had no tears.

"But I have to correct you on one point," Takeuchi said in a good mood. "That person is not a senior. He joined the team in the same year as us, one year younger than me."

Yuko Ito opened her eyes wide and murmured in disbelief, "He retired at such a young age...?"

Takeuchi Kawatani nodded, with a wry smile: "Yes."

Interviewed Takeuchi Kawatani, but the mystery got bigger and bigger.Her exuberant curiosity swelled to the maximum, as if a small hand was scratching her heart, and huge waves of questions rolled in her mind, urging her to dig everything out and get to the bottom of it.

Yuko Ito could no longer restrain her inner impulse.After returning to her residence, she made a phone call to China and asked her friends who worked in sports to help her list the retired athletes of the National Swimming Team in the past three years, with relevant information attached.

——I must find you, you unknown genius.

==============================================

Domestic, C major.

"No matter, don't go." Nanase Haruka shook her head, leaving Tachibana Makoto with a back view.After hearing this, the tall boy showed a helpless look of "I knew it", but he still leaned forward and continued to beg, "Haruka, come to my house tonight."

Nanase Haruka said impatiently: "No, trouble."

"But Nagisa and Rei are here, they miss you very much." Ju Makoto blinked his drooping eyes, and his tone was so soft that it reminded people of a lop-eared rabbit.

"..."

"How about mackerel for dinner?" Makoto Tachibana continued to seduce.

"..."

"Okay, I'll go." Nanase Haruka compromised.

In the countless times against Nanase Haruka, Tachibana Makoto once again won a complete victory.

In the evening, when Nanase Haruka was in the mood of being indifferent to anything, she could hear the noisy sound inside as soon as she followed Tachibana Makoto to the door of his house.

"Rei-chan, Li-chan let me smoke again~!"

"Stop it! How can you go back on such a beautiful game as card drawing?!"

"Obviously you set up a trick to let me draw ghosts on purpose!"

"What did you say..."

The voice stopped hoarsely, and Lian and Nagisa froze as they watched Tachibana Makoto push the door in with black lines all over his face, followed by Nanase who had been "thinking about" for several days. remote.

Hmm... so what are the postures of Rei Ryuzaki and Nagisa Hazuki now?In fact, it's nothing, it's just that Hazuki Nagisa wanted to grab the cards in Ryuzaki Rei's hand and the whole person fell into Ryuzaki Rei's arms... that's all.

"You two..." Ju Zhenqin felt that her spirit was being tested again, "How old are you and still play around like a child, cuddling and hugging..."

Rei and Nagisa looked at each other, and they blushed belatedly. The two quickly separated and sat upright, bending over Nanase Haruka and Tachibana Makoto, "Welcome back."

Makoto & Haruka: "..."

What a mess!Don't act like little wives waiting for your husband to come home!

==============================================

DJ City, where C University and E University are located, is not too close to Iwatobi.When they were freshmen, Matsuoka Rin and Nanase Haruka went out to rent a house alone because the training time could not be coordinated with the regulations of the university dormitory, and began their "cohabitation" life.When the three of them reached their sophomore year, Lian and Zhu were admitted to E University in the same city.Rei Ryusaki obeyed the arrangement of the family to live in her aunt's house not far from the school, and Nagisa Hazuki persuaded Tachibana Makoto for some reason, and the two of them also began to rent an apartment together.Although there is almost no overlap in the majors chosen by everyone, it is a wonderful fate to be able to maintain such a state in college.

As dinner time approached, Ryuzaki Rei and Hazuki Nagisa took Nanase Haruka to play with the kid, and they slammed against the coffee table.And Tachibana Makoto thoroughly implemented his idea of ​​being a good man at home, and walked into the kitchen with a smile to prepare dinner.

Nanase Haruka held a stack of cards in her hand, wondering if she could print the suits and patterns on the cards on the design homework left recently.

However, Nagisa Hazuki and Rei Ryuzaki were clearly harboring ulterior motives, their eyes rolled around, they aimed at Nanase Haruka, and then looked down at the cards in their hands.

"Xiaoyao," Tachibana Makoto called out from the kitchen, "Can you come over and help me?"

"Stop talking about small things..." Haruka Nanase complained again, but she put down her cards and went to help Tachibana Makoto in the kitchen.

The gazes of Hazuki Nagisa and Ryuzaki Rei followed Nanase Haruka's back, until he turned into the kitchen, the two of them closed their eyes and eavesdropped.
