running boy

Chapter 14

Thinking of how he ran away irresponsibly, Tsukishima Kaoru concluded to Nanbo by avoiding the important and lightly saying, "Later, we broke up for some reasons."

Hearing this perfunctory answer, Nan Bo narrowed his eyes and twitched the corners of his mouth.

(This can be applied to any couple who break up.)

But when I saw Kaoru Tsukishima's cautious attitude when speaking opposite, I suddenly felt that this guy was a bit pitiful, so I'd better let her go - when she mentioned breaking up, her voice was very, very soft, as if the volume was lighter, and the past would not be heard Same thing again.

After being silent for a while, Tsukishima Kaoru added regretfully, "I didn't know until I decided to leave that I liked him so much."

Hearing this, Nanbo still couldn't help but want to complain.

"Have you finished the story with your ex-boyfriend?" He raised his eyebrows and asked angrily.

Kaoru Tsukishima, who was still somewhat sad, looked up in astonishment.

"I've wanted to say it for a long time! Analyze what qualities you like in the other party, and then find someone who is the same?"

"Can people be simply classified in this way and then replaced?"

"For example, do you like someone because he is tall or looks like you? Or do you like someone simply because he is outgoing and outgoing, and nothing else matters?"

The young man kept talking, apparently he had endured it for a long time.

"For example, can a woman be called a beauty just because of her long legs?..."

From the time when Kaoru Tsukishima sat across from him, the young man seldom spoke. Most of the time, Kaoru Tsukishima spoke. He listened, and this time he talked so much in one breath.

However, she couldn't help being distracted at this serious preaching moment.

(I really can't tell, it turns out that Nan Bo is a long-legged man...)

"Similarly, if you like a person and fall in love with a person, is it simply because of a certain characteristic of him? If you like this person, you just like this person!"

In fact, it is the simplest and most obvious fact, but it is forgotten or ignored because it is taken for granted.

It's also because the truth is simple, so she thought about it one-sidedly, and after being confused, she figured it out a long time ago, but——she smiled wryly, "Yeah, how could I not understand it at that time."

The young man opposite rolled his eyes.

"How should I know?—rather, it's strange that you should think so."

Tsukishima Kaoru fell silent again.

Nan Bo felt that he probably knew the direction of her story, so he simply asked out loud, "Then what?——then you have the courage to take the first step, pass the written test, the assessment... and then step by step——succeed. Candidate?" he guessed.

Kaoru Tsukishima recovered from his thoughts, and laughed when he heard Nanbo's words, "How is that possible."

"My ex-boyfriend is indeed an admirable strong-willed person, but at the same time he is also a person with a gift of God."

"He is tall and has an advantage in terms of strength. What is even more rare is that he is born left-handed."

"Like a left-hander, a left-hander?"

Yue Dao couldn't help correcting, "People in the world actually have some superstitions about left-handed and left-handed." Obviously they don't take it seriously.

"So?—you know a lot about baseball, too?"

"It's okay..." Yue Dao thought of a group of teenagers on the other side of the earth, couldn't help a fleeting smile on his lips, and brought the topic back, "In short, seeing a proud man of heaven, a genius Going unswervingly towards my dream is not a particularly motivating role model for mere mortals—he just made me realize that I probably can’t give up on my dream—”

"What can be given up is not a dream." Nan Bo answered naturally.

That kind of natural tone made Tsukishima, who took a long time to be cautious and trembling on this road again, a little envious.

"But," she recalls of her second setback, "I didn't think I'd have a chance at my dreams either."

That kind of entanglement and timidity is actually a bit funny looking back.

(Perhaps all the troubles of the past are a bit funny looking back.)

She looked up at the young man opposite her.After being told a mess of stories by himself for an hour, the slight melancholy that had been lingering between his brows seemed to have dissipated a lot.

(One day, you will, too.)

Thinking of this, Tsukishima looked at his watch, "Oh, it's a quarter past one, it's already time - I have some arrangements for the afternoon, so I have to go." She stood up and picked up the dinner plate.

After standing up, she paused, "Mr. Nanbo, would you like to continue listening to my story tomorrow?"

Nanbo looked depressed.

Why can she make such a twists and turns in a story that should be able to see the end at a glance?

If there is a boy you like, shouldn't you confess your relationship as soon as possible?If you have a dream, shouldn't you hurry up and chase it? ?

(Is your "but" a little too much?)

(Is this guy a bit too tangled up?)

(If you know you can’t give up, give me the courage to move forward.)

The most important thing is that the story stops at the same place.

(Sure enough, he is very similar to Xiao Liu, this kind of character.)

He said helplessly, "Just call me Ririren—this time tomorrow, here?"

Tsukishima Kaoru nodded with a smile, "Then, I'll see you tomorrow."

When she turned to leave, she walked briskly and felt a little happy in her heart.I just recalled the past for a long time - my former self probably never expected to be able to chat with my idol by his name one day.

(It would be even better if... if the story of his incompetence could give him a little encouragement, or even divert his attention a little.)

Nan Bo looked thoughtfully at the back of Yue Dao going away.

(Volleyball...left-handed, tall and mature...)

When Tsukishima set up the plate and walked out of the restaurant, she glanced at her watch again, habitually counting the time difference in her mind—it was almost 3:[-] am in Japan at this time.

(In just over an hour, everyone will be up.)

Thinking of this, she clenched her fists——I want to work harder too, I can't lose to you.

At this moment, Saitama Prefecture, Japan.

It was already daylight.On the second sports field of the prefectural Nishiura High School, the sun is not yet visible, but the blurred outline of the shed area on the side of the field can already be seen.The chirping of birds gradually began to be heard in the farmland outside the sports field, and soon it became more and more noisy.

In Saitama this season, most of the time the sky is bright after 4 o'clock.But today it seems to be a little gloomy.

When it was almost 5 o'clock, teenagers carrying sports bags appeared sparsely on the path outside the second sports field. They greeted loudly "Morning" when they entered the sports field, put down their bags on the bench in the shed, and took off their clothes. Jacket, while chatting a few words while changing into team uniforms.

When Kosuke Izumi walked in, he immediately felt that Yuichiro Tajima was a little unnaturally quiet today.

While putting down the bag, he glanced suspiciously at Tajima, who was staring into the distance in a daze.

(Usually at this time, shouldn't you be excitedly exchanging the content of today's bento with Mitsuhashi?)

(It seems like there is something on your mind... like...?)

Quan was startled by his own thoughts and suddenly became nervous.

(No way, Tajima, something on your mind?!)

Thinking wildly, he remembered that Tajima had mentioned the reason why he came to Xipu before, and the movement of taking off his coat became stiff, and he kept looking at the quiet Tajima from the corner of his eye.

Just as he was thinking, Tajima suddenly said, "Isn't that a star?" He pointed to a point in the sky—the direction he had been looking at just now.

On the bushes at the edge of the field in the distance, not too high, there is a bright spot of light.

Quan turned around, with his back to Tajima, focused on buttoning the buttons of his team uniform with vacant eyes and expressionless face.

(Ah... I'm looking at the stars, so...)

(Hehe—why does it feel like it should be like this.)

"Ah, really! It's there." Fukuda, who had just finished tidying up the venue and was walking towards the bench area, was the first to find what Tajima said was "not a star", and responded positively.

"It's so bright!!" followed by Mizoguchi almost at the same time. [2]

After having juniors, the work of tidying up the venue was contracted by the lower grades.

The two juniors who reacted first were both Tajima's little "fans".

The careful and gentle Hayato Eiguchi and the straightforward Tajima are the two "seniors" who get along best with the lower grades.And Tajima's talent in baseball, coupled with his unique charm on the court, has made him harvest several little fans.

"Really, really, it's so big and bright, it's definitely not a star." Mizutani Wengui was also surprised.Although he is not Tajima's fanboy, as a "senior" in the third grade, he has no resistance to fun things at all, and he likes to join in the fun.

Although pitcher Ren Mihashi didn't speak, he nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. While looking at the sky with his mouth open, he couldn't help walking out.

His partner catcher, Takashi Abe, grabbed him from behind without even raising his head, and said a little harshly, "Button!"—it was not fastened.

Everyone turned a blind eye to Abe's irascible old lady's style of behavior.

Captain Hanai Azusa looked up at the sky not too concerned, "Isn't it an airplane?" He said in a casual tone.

"It's not an airplane," Xiguang "teacher" said seriously, "an airplane should move very fast, and it won't be fixed in one place."

"No," Tajima corrected, "it moved, I watched it for a while, it moved so much—"

As he spoke, he stretched out his thumb and forefinger to measure a length that wasn't too long.

"Ah, really..."

Although the movement is not fast, you can still see that the light spot is moving slowly if you look at it for a while.

"Could it be... a UFO!"

"Haha, how is that possible."

At this time, Abe, who supervised Mihashi fastening the buttons, finally raised his head and glanced at the UFO that caused the commotion, "It's the ISS." He said firmly, and then continued to brush the baseball in his hand with his head down.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

"IS-S? What's that?" Tajima asked.

"InternationalSpaceStation, the International Space Station—it's in orbit around the Earth, and there are astronauts doing some science experiments and whatnot."

Abe explained a few words casually without raising his head, not noticing that his companions fell into a strange silence, everyone looked at each other, and exchanged glances in silence, basically expressing one meaning - what is this mouth saying? The person who uses words like "earth orbit" is definitely not the baseball fanatic Takaya Abe I know.

Mitsuhashi didn't notice it, he nodded his head, thinking to himself, Takaya is indeed very powerful. [3]

Tajima was the most direct. After Abe's voice fell, he sincerely exclaimed, "That's amazing! Takaya, you know things other than baseball!"

He was the first to say what everyone thought.

"Ah? What, this kind of thing——" Abe was annoyed, and wanted to say, "This is common sense." After thinking about it, it seemed that it couldn't be said to be common sense, so he abruptly changed, "Of course I also know baseball. Other things are fine."

Everyone laughed and joked.

"Okay, okay." Huajing saw that it was almost time, and said, "Let's go to the assembly."

"Yes~" Everyone responded unevenly, and walked out one after another.

A tribe at the end.

After everyone left, he looked up at the ISS that was about to fall, took out his phone and sent a message, "How are you doing?".

Then he stuffed the phone back into the bag.

Messages won't be answered right away, it should be a busy time.

Putting down the phone, Abe also got up and walked out, when suddenly someone beside him asked, "Abe, who are you texting?"

The tone was not question but surprise.

Abe looked at Mizutani who appeared out of nowhere, and simply replied, "Friend."

"Liar!" Mizutani exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Takaya, do you have any friends outside our baseball club?"

Abe is very angry.

The two trotted for two steps, and soon joined everyone on the playground.

The author has something to say: *First about the ISS,

The ISS observation is generally in the evening and early morning. ISS can be observed when the sky is not particularly bright. I have checked the iss observation time of Saitama. In summer, it is even as early as three o’clock. It can be seen that Coach Mokeda said 04:30 It's not a lie, Khan

In addition, in the universe brothers' animation, iss moves very fast on the sky, probably for the smoothness of the plot.According to my actual viewing experience, it actually moves very slowly, not the kind of speed where you can immediately judge 'oh it's moving'.Generally, there will be 1 to 3 points. Most of the time, it is a short string across the sky, and it will not go to a very high place.

[1], in fact, this kind of line is old-fashioned, right?

But there is such a special passage in "Cosmic Brothers"... Please allow me to share a wave of Cosmic Brothers

The younger brother Ririren said to the elder brother Liutai who is prone to pessimism and frustration, "Isn't your dream going to the universe? Don't give up. If you can give up, it is not a dream!"

After hearing his words, Mrs. Six was shocked and said aggrievedly and angrily, "You can say it so easily because your dream is about to come true, bastard."

Then he made an excuse to take a shower, hugged his knees and soaked in the bathtub, turned on the shower, his whole face was wrinkled together, and he couldn't tell whether it was the shower or the tears flowing all over his face.

"Ah!!! It's really useless!"

"It should have been me who said it. It should have been me who said to my younger brother as an older brother, 'Ji Ri Ren, your dreams will definitely come true, don't give up.'"

"I want to be that brother."

I especially like this paragraph. I didn’t get encouraged and cheered up just because of a single sentence. While being encouraged, the delicate Liu Tai was also very sad because of the encouragement.

PS, Hirata Hiroaki-san's voice acting is amazing! ! !Half of Liutai's true cuteness is really due to the dubbing

[2], Personally, I think it is absolutely impossible for Nishiura to realize his dream in the first grade (*/ω\*)

Here are some first and second graders who joined the club privately, and the names are all from the supporting roles in the Universe Brothers~~

Also, regarding Shun Abe, I also wondered whether my brother-kun will come to Nishiura.Xiao Abe himself admires Tajima very much, and also likes Mihashi who has met once, but the original book also said that the family wanted the two brothers to be on different teams, but only for the two brothers to be on different teams. It also doesn't seem to make sense to prevent the younger brother from going to the same school as the older brother. . .

I like Xiao Abe quite a lot, (PS brother's voice is kaji~) But let's assume here that he is not in Xipu...

[3], I think, when it comes to the third grade, Mitsuhashi should be called Takaya directly anyway, right?Otherwise, the relationship between shooting and arrest would be too worrying. . .

Although at present, I still think Mihashi's name "Abe-kun" is more appropriate. . .After calling Abe for so many years, I really can't turn the corner myself.

Chao Ma blessed me with the day when Mihashi called Takaya.
