I accidentally let it slip.
"This... actually has a very complicated reason."
Two seconds later, the girl looked up and pretended to come up with an excuse to make up for herself, but when she looked closely, she found that there was no one in front of her. Looking to the side, she found that Hayakawa had already run two miles away from the long-distance running point.
"Eh?"
Yihua looked bewildered, but then realized what was happening and immediately went to the starting line of the long-distance race to follow, but was stopped by the teacher.
"Which class are you in? Come here and fill out this form first."
The test instructor reached out and stopped Ichika: "The previous group has already gone. You have to wait until there are enough people in this group before you can run. Wait a moment."
Nakano Ichika: "..."
After hesitating for two seconds, Ichika left the testing site and stood silently to the side, waiting for the students to come over while watching Hayakawa run ahead of everyone else on the track with a lonely expression.
"Wow, you run really fast."
……
Hayakawa ran swiftly, his expression calm and seemingly unhurried, but from another person's perspective, he was astonishingly fast, easily covering most of the distance at a sprint-like pace.
"asinx + bcosx equals..."
As Hayakawa ran, he pondered the formulas in his mind. He had long been accustomed to looking at his vocabulary book while walking and had long since gotten used to not looking at where he was going.
"Hayakawa-san..."
As I was running, I noticed a strange yet familiar low voice coming from beside me.
"What's the noise?"
Hayakawa looked up in confusion and saw Fumino Furuhashi lying on the track next to him, barely alive, as if she were about to die.
"..."
Hayakawa was stunned for two seconds before snapping back to reality, cold sweat pouring down his back.
That was terrifying!
If someone were studying and suddenly a deathly pale face, like a female ghost, appeared, no one would be able to remain calm.
"Ancient Bridge, you..."
Hayakawa slowed his pace and walked to the old bridge, extending an arm to her: "Are you alright?"
"Thank you, Hayakawa-san."
Fumino Furuhashi glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention to her before grabbing Hayakawa's arm for support, otherwise she wouldn't be able to stand.
"You're here for a run so early too?"
Hayakawa nodded with relief at Fumino Furuhashi's miserable appearance, thinking that it was good for her to finish her work early and go back to her studies.
"morning?"
Fumino Furuhashi pouted slightly, revealing a wry smile: "I started running ten minutes ago... and I'm still half a lap short."
"Huh? You've been running the 800 meters for ten minutes and you still haven't finished?"
Hayakawa stared in disbelief at Fumino Furuhashi, who was holding her arms up as if she were struggling to move forward, but she was walking slower than Hayakawa himself.
"Ancient Bridge, you..."
Hayakawa looked at Furuhashi with a complicated expression and said with reluctance, "You're no longer qualified."
"I know."
Fumino Furuhashi said irritably, "But even if you fail, you can't give up halfway; you still have to finish the race."
"incredible."
Hayakawa was full of admiration, as if he were seeing a real-life version of the tortoise and the hare race: "Good luck!"
"Your gaze is very impolite..."
Fumino Furuhashi looked at Hayakawa expressionlessly and said weakly, "Don't worry about me. I'll finish after I run this half lap. Go check ahead. Ri-chan is there. She arrived a little later than me and still has more than a full lap to go."
"You two are really amazing."
Hayakawa was impressed and asked with concern, "Are you alright? Don't fall."
"fine."
Gu Qiao shook her head, her face slightly flushed: "You still know how to talk about people..."
"Too,"
Hayakawa nodded: "You're slower than walking, so you're unlikely to fall."
Fumino Furuhashi: "..."
"Then I'll go there first."
Hayakawa withdrew his hand and ran ahead, leaving Furuhashi behind him, slowly making his way forward.
……
I felt the wind, the dangerous wind that filled the sky. It was my aid, allowing me to speed across the heavens and earth, unstoppable.
Hayakawa ran, feeling the coolness of the world and instantly feeling refreshed. He had just personally experienced leaving Fumino Furuhashi far behind, which made him very satisfied.
Although it wasn't academic learning, it was still a rare experience.
Hayakawa thought to himself, then his eyes shot out like laser beams as he searched for Ogata Riju's figure. Before long, he saw a short figure slowly "wriggling" not far ahead. With her short orange hair and the surging waves of her body when she ran, who else could it be but Ogata Riju?
"Yo, Ogata."
Hayakawa took a few steps to Ogata Riju's side and called out softly.
The science-loving girl, who was already dizzy from running and whose eyes were practically spinning, perked up at the familiar voice. She looked up at Hayakawa, her eyes brightening slightly, and said softly, "Hayakawa-san."
"Are you OK?"
Hayakawa looked at Ogata Riju, who was panting heavily and covered in sweat, her workout clothes even soaked through, and couldn't help but say, "Do you want to take a break?"
"No... no need."
Rizu Ogata shook her head vigorously, then said seriously, "Although it's already confirmed that I failed, at least I can't stop running, otherwise I'll give up halfway."
Hayakawa: "..."
As expected, you failed too. You and Fumino Furuhashi are truly good friends, just as good as each other in terms of physical fitness.
"Ah~"
Hayakawa felt a pang of sympathy. He could understand her predicament, since ordinary female students run the 800 meters normally, while Ogata Rizu was running the 800 meters with weights, and with two huge weights hanging on her body. It was only natural that she would run slower.
But thinking about it, how could a girl who had no burdens still fail to get a passing grade?
Hayakawa pondered for a long time but could not come up with an answer, or rather, dared not come up with an answer. He could only silently glance at Ogata Riju's figure.
The sports bra was of good quality, which made the bouncing of Ogata Rizu's breasts less shocking when she ran, but even so it was still amazing, especially since her current sportswear was a bit see-through, making the bulge below the neckline more and more visible, which was very alluring.
Hayakawa glanced at it, but his eyes were immediately captivated by the terrifying power of the universe's breasts, and he stared straight at it.
I can't break free!
Chapter 233 Attack, Nino!
Just as Hayakawa was trapped by the force and couldn't break free, a faint voice suddenly came from the side.
"Hayakawa-kun~"
Ogata Rizu slowed down, staring blankly at Hayakawa, her dangerous gaze tinged with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance.
"Cough cough..."
Hayakawa immediately freed himself from his restraints, looked straight ahead, and asked seriously, "Is there something you need?"
"You...you were staring at me with a really lewd look just now, weren't you?"
Ogata Rizu spoke calmly, her narrow, half-closed eyes giving her a sharp look, like a Persian cat suddenly spotting a mouse: "Is it or isn't it?"
Chapter 234 Fall Injury
That's just her cold-hearted nature, but that's just the kind of person Hayakawa is; no matter what, she can't get along with others normally.
Hayakawa stared blankly at the air in front of him, his stiff expression showing a hint of daze.
"Hayakawa..."
Nino Nakano stared at Hayakawa, noticing the unyielding stubbornness on his face. Perhaps it was a girl's intuition, but from the first moment she saw Hayakawa, Nino was certain that he was a very special person.
Nino was gradually drawn to him. She knew that Hayakawa couldn't have been born this way. He must have had times when his emotions were intense and he couldn't control himself. He must have... he must have had girls he liked and had feelings for.
And now...
Nino slowly reached out her hand, her eyes filled with innocent emotions. She wanted to be brave; this was the first time she had truly liked a boy, so she absolutely did not want this feeling to end so abruptly.
The golden rays of the setting sun flowed slowly across the stone steps. A row of cypress trees between the teaching building and the playground swayed slightly, their branches adorned with a sparse net of slightly yellowed leaves that captured the autumn breeze and the glow of the sunset. Loud shouts could be heard from the playground in the distance, and further away, the basketball court echoed with the thud of balls hitting the shuttlecock. To the side of the basketball court was the auditorium, from which the faint sounds of wind instruments could be heard—the choir and the tuba club preparing for the upcoming school festival.
Nino's hand landed on Hayakawa's hand on the step, and the warmth she felt in that instant was like a fireplace with a roaring fire.
Hayakawa turned her head in confusion, only to meet Nino's eyes, which were filled with emotions like the ocean.
"Hayakawa..."
She said, "Close your eyes."
Hayakawa's pupils suddenly shrank to their limit. In an instant, he seemed to escape this painful reality and fall into a small island or a cloud, where his tired body and soul finally got some rest.
At that moment, his mind went blank. He, who always prided himself on being rational and calm, had completely lost his logic. Yet, he inexplicably recalled a scene: he was sitting alone in a chair at home, studying. The setting sun outside the window gradually faded from bright to dim, while the lights of the buildings across the street lit up one after another. The night grew darker, and the sound of dripping water came from the kitchen faucet that was not turned off properly.
After an unknown period of silence, his chaotic mind finally cleared up, and at the same time, he heard the commotion and shouts from the playground.
"Someone has fallen!"
"It's a girl! Quick, take her to the infirmary!"
……
Five minutes earlier, Ichika was struggling on the track of the playground.
"I can't take it anymore... I've reached my limit..."
Panting heavily, Ichika clutched her stomach. Her throat was so dry it felt like it was on fire, and she felt a tearing pain in her throat. Her whole body felt weak, and she moved her feet step by step. Her mind was spinning, and the world in front of her was blurry. But that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was the difficulty breathing caused by the side stitch and the soreness all over her body. She felt like her legs weren't her own anymore, and she could only move mechanically, inch by inch.
Apart from Yotsuba, the five Nakano sisters have subtle differences in physical abilities, but overall they are still divided into five equal groups, all at the single-digit level, similar to their academic performance. Among them, Miku, who doesn't like to go out, is the worst, followed by Itsuki, then Ichika who occasionally goes out, and finally Nino, who likes to go shopping.
"I really can't take it anymore...cough cough!"
"Ichika murmured, then coughed violently, and a sweet, fishy taste suddenly welled up in her throat."
I'm not about to vomit blood, am I?
As soon as this thought crossed Ichika's mind, her dizziness intensified, and she even started running in erratic patterns.
Run another ten meters and then take a short rest, walk about fifty meters or so.
With that in mind, Yihua set her sights on moving forward on the steps as her next goal, and with a little effort, she took a step forward.
However, even in that instant of taking a step, she inadvertently glanced at the steps beside her, and then... she saw two familiar figures.
"what…"
Nakano Ichika's previously blurry vision instantly cleared, and she stared blankly at the two people on the steps outside the playground, even forgetting to stop.
At that moment, time seemed to slow down for her, and her thoughts were stretched out infinitely. She saw the water next to Hayakawa's hand. This bottle of mineral water was the one she bought for Nino. Nino had taken a sip back then, and now it was next to Hayakawa.
She saw Nino lean forward, her hands in a very imposing pushing posture, slowly approaching Hayakawa. Her delicate, petal-like pink lips moved slightly, as if she were saying something brief.
What did she say?
What is she going to do?
Could it be that she wants to kiss Hayakawa?!
Ichika, who was also one of the Quintessential Quintuplets, immediately understood her younger sister's thoughts and was horrified.
