——Perhaps he shouldn't have made such a firm promise in the first place.It wasn't until the day when it couldn't be realized that I realized the distance between fantasy and reality.

CH.06

Nanase Haruka happened in late autumn two years ago.

As an auxiliary training, I went to climb the wild mountains in the suburbs alone.That's not to say it's a dangerous mountain.For more than ten years, I have never heard of anyone having an accident while climbing this wild mountain.

But I don't know what kind of luck it was.When twilight began to cover the mountain stream, Nanase was walking down the mountain road, halfway up the mountain.After that, his vision suddenly turned upside down, and the huge impact force made the inside of his body thump, and finally fell on his back on the uneven place.

Nanase Haruka blinked hard, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of white mist, blurring everything around him.His vision became worse and worse, and finally there was only a hazy bright blank.

Relieved, the numbness of the body caused by the impact gradually receded, and the pain began to scream, overwhelming.

Nanase Haruka opened her eyes that had no focal length and only had light sensitivity. After realizing what happened, she was stunned for a while, and finally figured out the first thing.

He has to live.

The eyes can't see, and they don't know the surrounding situation, so they can't move around.And at this time, there will be no other people going up the mountain.

Nanase Haruka moved her left hand with difficulty, and took out her cell phone from her coat pocket.

And when Tachibana Makoto and the rescue team found Nanase Haruka who had fallen down the mountain and was lying on the rocks between the cliffs, it was already four o'clock in the morning.The mountain nights in late autumn are very cold.After making sure that he didn't hurt his spine, the rescuers carried Nanase Haruka, who was almost hypothermic, on his shoulders, and pulled the sling up the cliff.

After Tachibana Makoto saw Nanase Haruka's appearance when she was rescued, her heart began to twitch and her head buzzed.He couldn't help shaking.In the pale light cast by the high-power searchlight, he could clearly see the mess all over the black-haired youth.The sports jacket had been taken off because it hindered the rescue, and there were large dark marks on the young man's light yellow T-shirt, like mysterious flowers blooming.

His back and arms were covered in blood, and his right leg was dragging, making him unable to stand on his own.The face of the black-haired youth was as pale as paper, and his thin lips were bloodless.Only those eyes that were half-opened and half-closed, blinking occasionally told Tachibana Makoto that Nanase Haruka was still awake.

He was still awake.

Ju Zhenqin couldn't help but stretched out her hand to help him, but was separated by the medical staff.

They quickly sent Nanase Haruka to the county hospital.

Tachibana Makoto watched helplessly as the doctors and nurses pushed Nanase Haruka into the operating room, but he, who had always been steady, suddenly felt at a loss.He felt as if time was going backwards, and he was back in elementary school, when Nanase Haruka, who looked like an elementary school student, was swallowed by the rushing river in front of him.It was the same for him back then, seeing everything happen and then being unable to do anything.It was a deep sense of powerlessness, unstoppable, irreversible, independent and small in the world.

The injury report was quickly handed over to Tachibana Makoto.Multiple bruises all over his body, lacerations on his back, a fractured fibula in his right leg, a severe sprained ankle, and a concussion that caused temporary blindness.Fortunately, the spine and ribs were not injured, and the internal organs were not damaged.

Seeing his depressed appearance, the doctor wearing a mask comforted him by saying that the fracture was okay and the operation was a success.The young man is in good health and will be able to jump up and down in a few months.

Ju Zhenqin forced herself to pull herself together, stretched the muscles on her face and pulled out a blunt smile, and said to the doctor, "Thank you."

The doctor patted him on the shoulder and walked away.

After the effect of the anesthetic wore off, Nanase Haruka opened his eyes in a daze, his eyelashes fluttered a few times, and the too strong light made him frown uncomfortably.He suddenly felt someone gently cover his eyes with hands, protecting him in a safe and warm darkness.

He heard Tachibana Makoto's voice.Humming, not very clear.Some stubbornly wanted to remove the palm of Tachibana Makoto covering her eyes, but after trying hard, she found that she could hardly move anywhere now.

Tachibana Makoto noticed his slight struggle, and said softly: "Don't worry, open your eyes slowly." He slowly moved his palm away.The light fell into Nanase Haruka's eyes bit by bit.

Nanase Haruka's dark blue eyes looked straight at Tachibana Makoto.The look in those eyes was very familiar to Makoto Tachibana.

Tachibana Makoto breathed a sigh of relief.

He can see.

Tachibana Makoto notified Matsuoka Rin the next morning.As a result, the big boy with purple-red hair rushed to a small county town hundreds of kilometers away from DJ City at noon.

The moment he opened the door of the ward and came in, he was accompanied by a fiery "Nanase Haruka!" It was like a wild beast with its tail on fire.

Anxious, worried, irritable, sad.The emotion in Rin Matsuoka's eyes was about to overflow.Even when she saw Nanase Haruka half-leaning on the head of the bed soberly, she didn't restrain herself.

Nanase Yao looked at him expressionlessly, and suddenly said: "I'm not dead yet."

Tachibana Makoto swore that he saw the blue veins on Matsuoka Rin's forehead instantly.

Rin Matsuoka gritted his shark teeth, and said in a bitter voice, "You man..." He made a gesture to punch Nanase Haruka, but when he actually hit Nanase Haruka on the cheek, it was unexpectedly soft.

Matsuoka Rin looked at the bandages on Nanase Haruka's body, feeling a pain in his heart.

Fingers slid down Nanase Haruka's cheeks, Matsuoka Rin stuffed his hands back into his pockets, clumsily trying to hide himself.

"How did you fall?"

"Slippery feet."

"...It hurts?"

For some reason, Nanase Haruka didn't try to be brave this time, "Of course it hurts."

"That's what you deserve." Rin Matsuoka retaliated.

It wasn't until later that Matsuoka Rin realized that Nanase Haruka was acting like a baby to him, which was rare.

Although his personality is bland, Nanase Haruka is not an otherworldly immortal.The moment he fell down the mountain, he was lying alone on the rock, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain all over his body. During the few hours when the cold wind was blowing alone, when he knew from the mouth of Ju Zhenqin that his calf was broken, he was still scared, like a little boy. like children.No matter how strong people are, there are times when they are vulnerable and fearful. The "shell" they seal themselves cracks in an instant, but it is just a crack.

Knowing from the doctor that the injury on Nanase Haruka's body is not serious, it was only after a period of observation in the hospital that Matsuoka Rin was completely relieved.

It won't be long before I can return to training with the team.There will be competitions in early April next year, and they will swim the relay with their teammates.

Kinoshita collection, Takeuchi Kawatani, Matsuoka Rin, Nanase Haruka.

Coach Ishikawa personally selected teams that recognize each other and are worthy of entrustment.

Rin Matsuoka spent the whole day with Nanase Haruka.Before leaving, he stretched out his hand and said, "Come back soon."

"Ah." Nanase Haruka responded and patted his palm.

"The training ground is waiting for you."

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

The seemingly bright future at that time did not know when it began to deteriorate.Opportunity and fuse, if you get the ending, you can't grasp the beginning.

A month later, when Rin Matsuoka visited Nanase Haruka again one time, he took the study materials that the university teacher asked him to hand over to Nanase Haruka.Not much, just a few sheets of paper.Rin Matsuoka sandwiched them in her own clear folder.When he arrived at the hospital ward, he took out the study materials and handed them to Nanase Haruka, and then put the folder on the bedside cabinet.Coincidentally, seeing that there was no water in the thermos bottle, Rin Matsuoka took the thermos bottle and left the ward to fetch water.

Everything that happened after that was like a doomed illusion.Nanase Haruka thought that there were still some materials in the folder, after all, the tutor of the design department would send out a lot of reference examples every time.He accidentally took the folder, opened it, and finally realized that he was thinking too much, but the moment he was about to close it was already too late.

He saw Rin Matsuoka's latest medical report in the folder.

In the athlete's physical examination report, the parts that do not meet the rules will be marked in fonts of other colors.Rin Matsuoka's original report Nanase Haruka had seen it several times, and it was all black and white.But this one...

An indicator recorded in red font made Nanase Haruka feel extremely dazzling.

Matsuoka Rin filled the water and opened the door to come in.

When he walked to the bed, Nanase Haruka suddenly pulled his collar, and the distance suddenly narrowed a bit ambiguously.Haruka Nanase looked directly into Rin Matsuoka's astonished eyes.

"...What's wrong with your eyes?"

Seeing the opened file folder on Nanase Haruka's hospital bed, Matsuoka Rin turned from surprise to anger at the beginning, and he wanted to cover up something angrily, "Why are you looking at other people's things casually!"

"I'm sorry, but..." Nanase Haruka grabbed him tightly without letting go, "Tell me, what's wrong with you?"

Guessing that he would not be able to escape this questioning, Rin Matsuoka moved Nanase Haruka's hand away and sat sideways on the side of the bed.

"Myopia due to pressure, and infection...I just feel that I can't see clearly recently, so it's sudden."

Rin Matsuoka didn't speak to Nanase Haruka face to face, he just stared at the white walls of the hospital and spoke slowly and calmly.

Tried not to care, tried to be okay, but...

"Haruka, after this national competition, I plan, plan not to participate in the relay anymore."

Nanase Haruka opened her eyes wide, her pupils constricted.He looked at Rin Matsuoka in disbelief, his usually cold voice began to tremble, "What did you say..."

No one knows better than Nanase Haruka, Matsuoka Rin's dedication to the relay.But now he says he will give up the relay.

Just kidding.

"I can't see, Haru.
