running boy

Of course, Dong Gao still lost the game.

Tsukishima Kaoru was not surprised at all.

But what made her uneasy was that for a split second, she clearly felt her heartbeat.

……

"Just when I thought I had figured out what I like about him, but when I was watching a game, at a certain moment, I felt that one of the opponent's players would make people's heart beat."

The corner of the young man's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but want to interrupt Kaoru Tsukishima again.But thinking of her first sentence, she said that this was a story with her ex-boyfriend.

(So ​​no matter how weird this woman is, she finally figured out what she wanted, right?)

(be patient, be patient)

He ground his teeth.

"It was really just that moment," Tsukishima Kaoru was still talking about, "I saw that contestant later—a very ordinary boy."

……

Confused, she went with her friends when they went to see her brother and teammates after the game.

The boy who once made people's heart flutter for a moment is actually just an ordinary, naive, second-year-old kid

"...This is my promise to you! 』

Tsukishima Kaoru's forehead twitched in embarrassment when he heard the crying teenager's second speech.

(I can't believe it—the person who made such a statement is actually the same grade as Ushijima-kun.)

Hearing this, which she felt was quite secondary, the boy's teammates cried even more exaggeratedly.

(Or is it normal for them to be like this?)

Tsukishima Kaoru sighed, and slipped away quietly while no one was paying attention--now rushing over, maybe the people in Shiratorizawa haven't left yet, maybe I can still meet Ushishima Ruori.

……

(Maybe someone like Ushishima-kun is different?)

She was lost in thought while looking at the upright and handsome face of Ushijima Ruori across the way.

It has been a few days, and she still feels a little confused.

"Moon Island?Tsukishima? 』

When he came back to his senses, he saw Ushishima Wakari's face close in front of his eyes. He leaned forward and frowned slightly.

Tsukishima Kaoru blushed for a moment.

(Actually staring at the other person's face and distracted.)

"No, it's nothing... just thinking——Ushishima-kun, do you have any previous game videos?" 』

"Video?There are some. 』Do you like watching games so much?Ushishima Ruori thought for a while, "The coach may still have seniors from the past, the old games—do you want to borrow them?" 』

"Well, I don't need the ones in the coach's hands. Can you lend me some of them?" 』

"Okay," Ushishima readily agreed, "Would you like to go to my house to pick it now?" 』

Tsukishima Kaoru looked up at him.

"There is no one at home at this hour. ’ As if seeing her hesitation, he added.

Tsukishima Kaoru hesitated even more.

But Ushishima Ruori on the opposite side has an upright face, and she is definitely the only one who thinks too much.

Don't want to go? "Then I'll give it all to you?" — a little too much. 』

"No!Need not!I wanna go! Kaoru Tsukishima hurriedly interrupted him, then lowered his head slightly to hide his embarrassment, "Let me get it, and I won't bother you." 』

"No hemp—"

"Let's go now—I'm going to ask the boss to pay the bill. 』

Ushishima Ruori looked down at Tsukishima Kaoru's half-eaten Lin's rice bowl, blinked, and said nothing in a good-tempered manner.

……

Tsukishima Kaoru has a feeling of "I knew it".

This spacious courtyard and the large and exaggerated entrance——she should have guessed it when she saw Udo's strict words and deeds.

『Ushishima-kun, is your family a big family? --Thanks. 』

Ushido first bent down to get the slippers for Tsukishima, and then put his own shoes into the shoe cabinet.

"My mother's ancestors were warriors, and later they were awarded the so-called last class of Chinese for their meritorious service—but it has been abolished long ago. "[1]

Tsukishima Kaoru stopped in front of a black and white photo.

"That's a picture of great-great-grandfather, next to his son—my room is over here. 』

Tsukishima Kaoru followed.

Going up to the second floor and opening the sliding door, Ushishima Wakari's room opened up in front of him.

The room has no personal characteristics, or this cleanliness and simplicity itself is just like Ushido Jori himself.

Kaoru Tsukishima's eyes suddenly brightened.

She glanced at it.

Another glance.

Glanced a third time.

(Oh my god! It's so cute!!)

"Which one do you want to watch, the prefectural competition and the national competition?" 』

Ushijima Ruori suddenly made a sound, interrupting her plan to take a sneak peek at the fourth eye.He half-kneeled on the ground, divided the video discs into two stacks and pushed them over.

"In the county. 』Tsukishima knelt down and picked up the stack in the prefecture.

The white disc is placed in a transparent box, and the school name and game time are neatly written on the front with a black marker, which is clear at a glance.

Tsukishima Kaoru looked at them one by one.Niu Dao sat quietly opposite her.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Ushishima-kun? Kaoru Tsukishima asked with his head down while flipping the disc in his hand.

"Um. 』

"Do you have a brother? 』

"No. 』

"Oh. 』

(The one in the photo must be Ushishima-kun himself.)

It was a photo of Xiao Zhengtai holding a volleyball, so cute that it was a foul.

(Thinking about it, that ignorant look is actually exactly the same as the expressionless Ushishima-kun.)

Thinking of this, Tsukishima Kaoru suddenly laughed.

"? 』

"Nothing, nothing—I've chosen. Kaoru Tsukishima handed over the selected discs, "Can you lend me these two? 』

Ushijima took the disc and looked at it.Yue Dao now knows the high school volleyball team in the county very well, and the two he chose were games against the rich and powerful teams.

He searched the disc again and handed it over, "This game is also very exciting. 』

Kaoru Tsukishima took a look at it, it wasn't Shiratorizawa, but the competition between the other two schools.

Then she suddenly realized that the two cards she had chosen were from Shiratorizawa.

(...)

(Subconsciously, I chose all the games with Udo. Didn’t I clearly plan to watch the games of other strong teams?)

That's why she wanted to borrow the disc.She wanted to know, besides the sophomore boy, would there be any other contestants who made her feel her heart pounding.

She raised her head to look across at Udo.

Sitting in the sun, his short black hair had a faint green luster, and his amber pupils also had a faint green tint, like the color of sencha. [2]

Is Ushido Ruori so unique and irreplaceable?

Just thinking about it, she felt a sudden heartbeat in her chest.

(...)

Tsukishima Kaoru lowered his head violently in embarrassment.

Annoyed for a while, she lowered her head and stopped looking at Ushido who had beautiful pupils opposite her.

"...? 』Ushijima Ruori blinked.

After a while, Tsukishima Kaoru said softly, "Ushishima-kun, if only you had an older brother..."

(If only there was an older version of Udo.)

Ushishima Ruori sat kneeling upright across from him with no expression on his face.

"..." So do you want a younger brother or an older brother?

It was clear at a glance what he was thinking, Kaoru Tsukishima's sudden resentment dissipated in an instant, and he laughed again.

The author has something to say: [1]

The samurai is not an official setting, it is written by myself-I think it is quite suitable for the image of Ushishima Waka~

[2]

I was really troubled by the color of Ushido's eyes for quite a while. . .Should it be amber or green?

Usually slightly slightly, with a little, green amber eyes

But only when a certain scene is particularly zoomed in close-up, it has a more obvious green tone. . .

I think the color is pretty close to... the color of sencha.

Well, when it’s greenish, it’s a fresh brown brown color, and when it’s yellowish, it’s a dry brown brown color [serious nonsense]

Is there any official information on this?What color is it?
