[Free! ] Dolphin rearing posture

It should...it doesn't matter...right?Although it was just a bet with Guicheng about orz.

Rui turned her head away with a guilty expression on her face, and continued to stir the soup with a spoon.

Let her first state what this is all about.

After participating in the club's opening event, she met Shimano Takasumi quite by chance.

Speaking of why I met this guy, simply speaking, it was when she went back to Iwatobi County to visit her sick mother for the first time in junior high school. While waiting for her mother to wake up from the operation, she also had nothing to do and went to play basketball outdoors. playing basketball.

Although she was a girl, she still loved sports at that time, whether it was basketball, swimming, or many other sports, she was the best in her class.

And then she met this guy, who was good-looking and seemed very jovial, and definitely knew him.Maybe he's from the basketball club, and he's pretty good at playing basketball, but it seems... he's very popular with girls?

【"Ah, Rui, long time no see!"

Should I avoid him, or should I avoid him, or should I avoid him...

Rui stared at him without saying a word.

"Your reaction is so cold, just like Haruka." Tsukino Takasumi shrugged, and then habitually hooked her shoulders as before, "How are you doing recently, are you okay from the previous injury?"

Pupils shrank suddenly, Ruyi waved her hand and said, "It's okay, please worry about me."

Shimino Takasumi seemed to have noticed something, but he was not ready to ask further, he smiled instead, "Even though I have seen many photos you posted on the Internet, I really feel that if you really look at them now, you are more interesting than before. It's a girl's breath."

Ruyi was stunned, and subconsciously shook her shoulders, "Can you... let me go?"

"No—I want—it's hard to meet again." Shikino Takasumi smiled heartily, but began to let go of her, "Then, do you remember the current agreement?"

It means that when I played basketball for the first time, I bet that if I lost to him, I would agree to date him.

Ruyi's expression froze, and she nodded, "My memory is quite good."

"Although it's been a long time ago, I'm afraid you will blame me, so let's hit it again." Shikino Takasumi took off the net bag on his shoulder.

Hey, when did he bring the basketball.

Well, the result is self-evident, the same bet has come into force again, this is a very ugly thing. 】

But I still feel really uncomfortable...

Looking quietly from his side, Nanase Haruka still maintained his usual paralyzed expression.

Ah... Did I think too much, obviously he was still laughing just now.

Something was knocking, which sounded quite clear, and Rui couldn't help but raise her eyes. Based on the idea that this might be an illusion, she lowered her head again and poured out the soup.

She scooped up a little bit with one hand and tasted the taste. When she was thinking about how to make the taste stronger, she was afraid that others would not know that the voice existed, and it sounded more and more.

"Did you hear anything?" It was Nanase Haruka who broke the silence first.

Then she saw Ye Yuezhu.

**********

The day of the county competition is getting closer, and it seems that there is only one day left.

"In the end, Miss Ruyi still doesn't plan to participate in the individual competition! The county competition!" Song Gangjiang expressed surprise, "I was also full of interest before! And I also saw Miss Ruyi coming home early several times to practice. Let's go swimming."

Rui nodded.

"Then why don't you go?" Higurashi Arisa tilted her head, "Don't Awei like swimming very much now?"

"I'm not participating because I have other business..." Rui twitched the corner of her mouth in embarrassment.

"What could be more important than participating in the competition, it looks so suspicious... Could it be a date?" Song Gangjiang continued to stare at her suspiciously.

"Don't get me wrong!" Looking at Nanase Haruka who continued to eat silently, Rui quickly waved her hand, "Can you stop making me guilty, I'm just going to sketch tomorrow! But I will come over tomorrow to cheer for you La!"

"... Huh?" Yuan Yami put down the bento in his hand, looked at her sideways with his chin in his hand, "Awei, I remember you didn't really want to learn painting before, did you, why did you suddenly have this idea?"

"How should I put it...the idea came to me when I was reading manga with Kaori recently..." Rui closed her eyes and smiled slightly, "I want to be a manga artist."

"However, if this is the case, the basics are not bad, and Ah Wei's science is very good, and it is also very three-dimensional." Yuan Yaya made a "poof", lowered his head, picked up the vegetables in the bento, and put them into his mouth carefully. Chew up.

"So, Yamiya, is your future settled?" Rui couldn't help but murmured, also curious.

"I want to be a photographer." Yuan Yaya said vaguely while biting his chopsticks, "Recently, I have also asked Lian to help me find some theoretical knowledge about photography. I am trying to memorize it, and I have bought a camera."

"What about Arisa?"

"It's enough for me to be with Makoto!" Daimao shook, and Arisa Higure's face was completely covered in pink, "As long as I have Makoto's future, I'm satisfied~"

Rui and Minamoto turned their faces away silently.

Then, the day of the county competition came soon.

Because she wanted to cheer for everyone, Rui even lost her mind when she was holding the paintbrush. When she regained her senses, the drawing paper on the drawing board had already been drawn in a mess.

Rui stuck out her tongue involuntarily, and quickly tore off the drawing paper and started drawing again.

"Why! Why is that!—"

At this moment, the competition has reached the preliminaries of the men's 100-meter butterfly. However, Ryuzaki looked around, but he didn't see any of the players he was familiar with.

He lowered his head in great disappointment, and then frowned instantly.

"Brother, he... is in the next group..." Matsuoka Jiang opened the schedule for the preliminaries, and looked apologetically at the position where Rei Ryuzaki was standing in the stands.

"So... what about Yamazaki?" Nanase Haruka asked, remembering something.

"Ah!" Matsuoka quickly glanced at the competition table in his hand, "Although Zongsuke specializes in butterfly stroke, he didn't participate in this competition."

Nanase Haruka nodded, and looked thoughtfully at the opposite stand.

Sousuke Yamazaki in the opposite stand was sitting quietly, but his eyes were not on the field.

Where is he looking?

The morning competition was completely over. Matsuoka Jiang had told her that the freestyle preliminaries would be in the afternoon. She looked at her watch and realized that it was already noon. Then Rui put away the easel, tidied up the painting utensils and put them back.

After tightening the drawstring bag so that the painting materials would not fall out, she took the easel in one hand and the drawstring bag in the other and walked slowly towards the station. Oh, I forgot to mention that the place where she sketched was far away from the venue of the county competition. It's far away, if you don't take a ride, the competition will be over by the time she arrives.

Jumping down from the car neatly, Rui smiled unconsciously as she glanced at the long-lost arena.

At that time... when I was full of youth in the county competition, it was also this time, this place.

"Yo."

The person leaning against the stop sign had obviously been standing for a long time, he waved his hand neatly, and greeted her, "It's really slow to come." That person's emerald green eyes were not so indifferent.

"...Mr. Zongjie? Why are you here!"

"I saw you by accident when I was walking just now, and I just waited for you here." He blurted out a lie without blushing, but Rui didn't bother to take it off, and brought the drawstring bag in front of him.

"But since you're waiting for me, then help me with something, Sousuke." Rui raised her eyebrows, "But I won't pay you."

"puff……"

When I arrived at the arena, the competition was just about to start, but I heard that the first competition was the men's 200-meter freestyle.

"Yo, I remember your name is..." Rin Matsuoka saw Yamazaki Sousuke giving him a high five as always, and then saw the drawstring bag that Yamazaki Sousuke was holding in his hand, and then discovered Rui.

"Tianhai Rui is one of your girlfriend's childhood sweethearts. You should have seen me before, Matsuoka-kun, you have a really good memory." Rui blinked solemnly, He continued to introduce, "By the way, Arisa Higurashi, who values ​​sex over friends, is also Yami's childhood sweetheart."

Matsuoka Rin blushed, then showed her white teeth, and smiled, "This is a bit similar to what that guy Ami said."

"What?" Minamoto Yaya said something about herself?

"You like to play tricks on people occasionally, well, but I've heard more about you from Zongsuke, right, Zongsuke?" Rin Matsuoka smiled and embraced Zongsuke Yamazaki. Shoulders, "Get your girlfriend to sit down."

Yamazaki Sousuke was stunned for a while, as if he didn't react for a while, then he scratched his head, showing a look of distress, "Rin, didn't I tell you, Rui is no longer my partner. "

"Ah... that's right."

"After you are in love, you don't care about the rest." Yamazaki Sosuke lightly punched Matsuoka Rin on the forehead and teased Matsuoka Rin, then looked at her and said gently, "Rui, sit down Bar."

"It's alright, Rui-senpai! Rin-senpai won't care about you sitting in the viewing booth of Samegaru!" Nitori Aiichiro patted the empty seat beside him and waved to her.

"But……"

"It's nothing! Rui-senpai!" Wait, has this child changed her name?

"Oh..." Rui glanced at Nitori Aiichiro, then sat down and watched the game with her chin resting.

"Wait, is Makoto participating in the competition this time?" Seeing Tachibana Makoto and Nanase Haruka already standing on the starting platform, Rui couldn't help being a little surprised.

Are these two better than the 200m freestyle?What the hell is this guy Makoto thinking? He clearly knows that freestyle is Haruka's specialty!Or... Could it be that Makoto hopes not to leave regrets in her last summer of high school...?

Put on the swimming goggles, spread your legs shoulder-width apart, bend your knees slightly, grab the front of the starting platform with your toes, and lean forward. Tachibana Makoto and Nanase Haruka lowered their heads in a tacit understanding at the same time, and they are ready The ready position for entering the water.

"preparation!--"

Both men bent their knees at the same time.

At the beginning, Tachibana Makoto swam with all her strength, which made Rui a little puzzled, is Makoto crazy? If you want to win this competition, first of all, the 200-meter freestyle competition is not speed, but speed distribution!

At the beginning, if you use all your strength to add "diesel", you will have no "power source" in the later stage. He should not understand this truth!

As expected, half of the journey has passed, Tachibana Makoto's speed has obviously slowed down, maybe he is exhausted, Nanase Haruka quickly passed him, but even so, he still gritted his teeth , desperately to chase.

The result of the competition was obviously easy to see, but when Makoto Tachibana took off her swimming cap, tapped the water surface with her hands and raised her head while laughing and shedding tears silently, her heart seemed to be touched.

She felt lucky from the bottom of her heart. Fortunately, at that time, even though she was in severe pain, she still did not give up. Even though her leg was injured, she still went to participate in the national competition. The one who is proud of himself.

That's right...you have to do everything with all your strength...so that you don't lose the meaning of doing it...

If you try your best to chase someone... even if you will be rejected in the end, you will definitely... not let yourself regret it, this is youth, this is the age of the present.

"Are you going back?" Rin Matsuoka asked in surprise when she saw Rui get up.

"Well, I have to go to everyone in Iwatobi." Rui turned her head and waved her hand to say goodbye to them, "Remember to explain to Yami, otherwise I promise not to kill you if she cries, okay?"

"You guy..." Matsuoka Rin smiled, "I will definitely explain it well."

On the stand opposite to the stand of Shigeru, Arisa Higurashi's hair was drooping listlessly, and she was covering her face and crying.

Sensing someone coming, she raised her tear-filled eyes.

"Pfft, Shasha, you really are a crybaby, wipe your tears away, or Makoto will have to comfort you later." Ruyi shrugged helplessly, hugged her in her arms, and gently hugged her. Gently stroking her back, "You should be proud of him, because he went all out, right?"

"Woo—! Mmm..." Arisa Higurashi tended to cry more and more, but she nodded desperately in Rui's arms, as if she herself said that she very much agreed with this sentence talk.
