117 – Hoshizora Sports Festival, End
Finally, the long-awaited third day has dawned.
Hyunjin still responded to the event moderately and roughly with cloudy eyes.
I felt that neither the ball games nor the counter fights were fun.
‘It was definitely fun at first.’
Hyunjin was standing on the court with a headache.
I wonder if all of these next events will be no shows.
I thought so.
‘Still, the two-man trilogy and the relay still remain.’
I will keep the promise I made with Ohana.
Hyunjin thought so, and decided to moderate the morning events without enthusiasm.
On the 3rd day, the finals of the ball games played on the 1st day were held. This time, missions with other grades, not the same grade, have been added.
Hyunjin still ran wild and scored goals.
Looking at it in moderation, it seemed like he was sluggish, but he couldn’t keep up with Hyunjin’s body movements by the standards of ordinary students.
“Slow…… “
The butler, who fell into a sense of boredom, only saw the movements of others slowly.
Maybe it was because she went through a few struggles, but she felt that the other person was running too slowly.
2Nd and 3rd graders who seem like they could fly away with just one kick.
‘Still, there’s nothing I can do about it once.’
Even in a situation where he felt a little boredom, Hyunjin overwhelmingly pressed the opponent.
Once again, after the morning ball game was neatly turned into a class 1-A victory, it was lunchtime.
‘All that’s left now is the afternoon event.’
Among the remaining games in the afternoon, the bigger ones are the two-man triathlon and the relay race.
Two-man triathlon and relay race are both class competitions and all-year competitions.
It was also an event that could be called the flower of the sports festival.
“Come on, Jin-chan.”
As Hyunjin thought for a while, Ohana spoke to her next to her.
“Ah, Hana-chan. What’s the matter?”
“That, 2 people 3 each…… You were supposed to leave.”
“I did.”
“Can I do it well?”
Ohana trembled at her words.
There were definitely people who would get stage anxiety if they only went in front of a big stage.
If you think about it, Ohana also has a passive personality, so she probably feels the same way.
I have stage anxiety.
‘Come to think of it, I had something like that too.’
Hyunjin remembered going to a school festival when he was suddenly pushed when he was in high school.
She didn’t have a very good memory when she thought about it, but now she feels like she’s overcome it.
If I had still had stage anxiety, I would have vomited without being able to properly participate in this sports festival.
It was the same at the Lionheart family’s ball the other day.
‘By the way, it’s a two-person tripartite.’
If this part is similar to what she remembers, then Ohana will surely fall.
A development in which she succeeds in her 2-person 3-leg by running with her fallen heroine on her side.
She probably remembers that she was, but doesn’t know how now.
“Actually…… I don’t know if I can do well.”
She muttered as Ohana lowered her head.
Hyunjin was able to do anything, but she didn’t have the confidence to do so.
“It’s okay.”
“Huh?”
Hyunjin read aloud to Ohana and opened her mouth.
“It’s okay. Trust me, Hana-chan. Let’s do the best we can.”
“…… Huh!”
After the lunch break, as the time for the two-person trilogy approached, Ohana nodded her head and answered Hyunjin’s words.
[The long-awaited third day of the Hoshizora Sports Festival! Hey, the sports festival is finally coming to an end! This event is a two-man three-legged event! This time, I, Otose from the Broadcasting Department, will be with you! Will the 1-A class go solo again this time! Otherwise, someone will block it!!]
At the same time as Otose’s booming voice, the students stood on the track once again.
There are 4 tracks according to the number of classes for each grade.
First grade was first.
After selecting the first class for each grade, it seems that the three teams will compete in the finals.
Two-man triathlon is not an event that can be done well alone. Both of them need to breathe well.
“Hana-chan, it’s okay. I’ll match Hana-chan’s movements.”
“Eh…… ?”
“
Don’t be too pressured, let’s win.”
“Oh, yes!”
Hyunjin once again stood at her starting line and comforted Ohana.
In Hyunjin’s current situation, she could catch everything Ohana moves and move as if she were one body.
Ohana wrapped her wrist around Hyunjin’s side. Hyunjin was the same.
‘Two-person trilogy is a good thing…… ‘
Ohana must have been embarrassed, so she applied strength to her arm a few times and then repeated her subtraction. Of course, the sudden sound of gunpowder gunfire caused Ohana to miss her start, but she started running.
[Ah! Class 1-A! The departure is late!!]
As Otose said, Hyunjin and Ohana started late.
The other class quickly rushed off, but Ohana couldn’t move her legs properly, probably because she was very immobile.
In a two-person trilogy, the sum of two people is more important than good running skills.
Due to the overlapping of Ohana’s timid personality and various situations lately, her boredom with Hyunjin was not very good.
Eventually, by the time she got to the middle of the track, the incident was over.
“Ouch!”
Wouldn’t it be that Ohana couldn’t keep her balance and she fell over?
Ohana, who had fallen, was showing signs of bursting into tears, making her cry at any moment.
At that moment, for a very short time, Ohana thought.
She said, ‘I worked hard…… I’m also a nuisance to Jin-chan…… ‘
Ohana was about to give up like that.
If it wasn’t for Hyunjin.
Hyunjin started wrapping her arms around Ohana’s side, who had suddenly fallen.
“Eh?”
Ohana also seemed to be a little surprised, but she expressed surprise with a single word, and she felt her body float.
“Because I can’t lose like this.”
Hyunjin untied her straps on her legs and sprinted as hard as she could while holding her Ohana tucked into her side.
Just before reaching the finish line for all of the B, C, and D classes, it was Hyun-jin who cut the line with just two touches.
Those who thought Class A would eventually lose this time couldn’t even say anything.
Even the students who were running on the track thought they would never lose this time, but that didn’t matter to Hyunjin.
“You won? Hana-chan.”
Hyunjin opened her mouth as she saw Ohana caught on her side.
“Eh, eh!”
Ohana opened her mouth as her face flushed and struggled as it got caught in her Hyunjin’s waist.
Because I felt with my whole body that people’s attention was focused on me.
“Wait a minute, that is against the rules!!”
A student from another class said while pointing at Hyunjin and Ohana.
As if Otose from the Broadcasting Department had considered that point, he was talking to a member of the student council next to him.
[It is not against the law to run with a fallen person on your side in a two-person trilogy! Carrying on your back is a violation!]
Is it a biased judgment or a characteristic of the love comedy worldview?
Such an act was surprisingly permitted.
Hyunjin also didn’t watch one or two animations, so he came up with a possible rule for a two-person trilogy in a love comedy.
It was like wearing it on your side for running or hugging a princess.
It must be a foul at the point of untying both strings, but for some reason, I didn’t think of it as a foul in a love comedy.
Anyway, what I thought I’d give it a try just for the sake of losing it just happened to work.
“I-I won’t let you go now…… Jin-chan…… ?”
Perhaps she was ashamed of the situation she was in right now, Ohana asked Hyunjin in a quiet tone.
“Oh, sorry.”
Hyunjin carefully put Ohana’s feet down slowly as they reached the ground.
***
Hyunjin took the championship without fail in the 2-person triathlon finals by year.
Then, after a short break, the final event of the sports festival was about to begin.
That is the relay race.
The order was like that, starting with Ohana, ending with Ryunosuke, Hyunjin, and finally Chihiro.
It should have been.
‘I should have done it in moderation.’
Hyunjin was suffering from heartache and was regretting it.
It was because Hyunjin, who was standing in the waiting area for the relay race, had never dreamed that there would be a sudden position change.
Originally the last one was Chihiro, but Akiko-sensei hurriedly rearranged the order.
If it was Ohana – Ryunosuke – Hyunjin – Chihiro, the positions of Hyunjin and Chihiro were swapped.
It was Hyunjin who finished the final relay.
Thanks to that, Chihiro looked quite dissatisfied, but she didn’t say much.
‘Is it because of what I showed you before?’
Short distance running, 2 people 3 angles. Hyunjin’s name was not left out in any event.
Thanks to that, Chihiro didn’t get angry and backed off.
[Finally, the last event that announces the end of the Hoshizora Sports Festival, the relay race followed by running! Let’s start now! Players, please wait in your seats!!]
Students from each class took their seats at the same time as Otose’s enthusiastic commentary.
Excluding class A, the rest of the class continued to look sideways at Hyunjin, who had not won in the two-person trilogy.
I want to win. It was a look full of longing.
[Prepare…… ]
Otose paused and stretched out his words.
A moment of tension.
[Let’s start!!]
Pang!
With Otose’s words, gunshots echoed through the air.
