Pirate's Freedom

The excitement of the last moment still lingers on the audience's retinas. Nami and Nozhigao have arrived at the center of the tennis court, and they hold each other's hands tightly.

“It was such a fierce competition.”

Nami's eyes showed sympathy.

"You're good too."

Nuo Qigao's voice suddenly became deep and magnetic.

"Even as an enemy, I have to respect your resilience."

"Okay, let me admit it, your strength is not inferior to mine."

"No matter where you are...I would like to call you the strongest among me!"

The little hands held tightly together shook greatly.

"..."

Ila put her chin in her hands and sat on the ground on the sidelines, watching the scene in front of her eagerly.

"I'm so envious..."

"Alas..." Karina sighed helplessly.

"Remember friendship first, competition second!"

At this time, the lunch break bell suddenly rang.

"Ah! It's time!"

Nuo Qigao's expression changed and he said hurriedly.

"Let's go gather quickly!"

"Roger that!"

"Ok!"

"Understood!"

Nami, Ila, and Karina were reduced to pieces, and they wormed their way into the crowd like little loaches.

Before the audience could react, several little girls had already disappeared without a trace.

"...Ahem! Okay, let's get out of class too!"

After the bustle ended, the teacher also announced that get out of class was over. The satisfied students discussed in groups of twos and threes and went straight to the welfare club and convenience store, and they were all gone in no time.

But there are still some people who have not left for a long time.

"It always feels a bit inconsistent."

The bear-like figure lowered his head slightly, and crossed the fingers of his hands in front of his forehead, as if there was an invisible table hanging in front of him.

"When you said that...I felt it too."

Hikigaya looked thoughtful.

"I was so excited at the time that I didn't notice it, but now I think about it seriously - those two guys finished such a long conversation in the air...how on earth did they do it?"

"Huh? Is that so?"

Another voice from the side interjected strangely.

"What else could it be?"

Hikigaya turned his head and was surprised to find that Yuigahama did not leave with the Miura Group today.

"Yes, yes...it's really strange..."

Yuigahama hesitated.

"Is it some kind of special vocal technique? In this case, should they consider becoming voice actors in the future?"

"This is too realistic... Hachimangomo! This is undoubtedly a supernatural phenomenon! Put aside your common sense! Think boldly! Let'sthink!"

Zaimuzo waved his hand with an impassioned expression.

In the coming season of early summer, he was still wearing a brown long-sleeved coat and half-finger gloves, sweating profusely.

Although it is a big breakthrough for [Friend/Zero] Hikigaya to be regarded as a friend by the person in front of him, he still feels heartfelt sadness.

Zaimokuza is Hikigaya's brother in physical education class. He is an expert-level patient with severe chuunibyou, and he is also a member of the lower class on campus.

Not long ago, he came to the service club and commissioned them to read his novels. Although his works, like his people, are very twisted, childish, and unreasonable.

But even if he is regarded as sick, looked down upon, ignored, and made a laughing stock, he will never give up or change his beliefs.

So no matter how many times, Hikigaya will read it carefully.

If there weren't so many people wanting to take tennis lessons this year, Zaimuzo, who lost the game of guessing, could only play football with tears in his eyes. They would stay together to keep warm, and even chat.

"Is it to smash Varudo? There is really no way. Will the substitutes attract each other after all?"

"So fast! Jumping so fast!"

However, the chatter was all about useless things and not particularly interesting, so I didn’t laugh like other students.

As it was now, the conversation was neither fashionable nor cool, just hopeless topics that even Hikigaya himself felt were stupid and had no meaning at all.

However, at least the time we are spending now is not unpleasant.

"Well...children are light in weight, so they stay in the air for a long time..."

"What a scientific explanation, it sounds a bit subtle..."

No, it's not scientific at all. How should I put it? This is the legendary pseudoscience.

……

[Don’t put your hands behind your back, as running like this can easily cause you to fall. 】

Looking at the scene in front of her, Karina swallowed back the warning - Nokigao and Nami not only stretched their hands behind their backs, but their bodies were completely parallel to the ground -

The two of them are currently running on the inner wall of the special building.

The most inconsistent thing is the speed. Compared to their age, they can certainly run very fast, but that kind of speed is that of athletes, and they are never fast enough to escape gravity.

Gu</span> "Yesterday... or the day before yesterday... Anyway, as soon as I woke up, I felt light and airy."

Facing Karina's inquiry, Nami didn't seem to care much.

"Has anything unusual happened recently?"

"I remember……"

Nokigao thought about it seriously.

"By the way! When I woke up the morning before yesterday, my back hurt so much!"

Nami remembered something.

"You have yourself to blame for that."

Nokigao exposed her mercilessly.

"The day before yesterday was [Pirate Killing Day]~, we agreed to play together until dawn, but you lost and fell asleep, making the bed a mess, and I was also hit."

In fact, for Nami and the others, being a time traveler is not without its benefits. If they were still at home, they would never have the guts to hold a pirate killing day.

"No! You are wrong! It's not that I fell asleep after losing, but that I happened to lose before I fell asleep!"

Nami argued vigorously that she could not tolerate her reputation being damaged in this regard.

"What's more, no one can survive until dawn!"

"Me!" Ila raised her hands.

"I made it! I saw the sun rise!"

She chased after Nami, and the two of them got very close.

"Sorry, I was wrong."

Nami raised her left hand and patted her head comfortingly.

"very impressive!"

"You are amazing!"

Karina and Nozhigao expressed their sincere respect.

"Hey hehe... I waited until dawn before going to bed."

Ila's expression was both proud and shy, and Nami turned her head away.

"Nuo Qigao, you are still talking about me, but you can't do it either."

"It's better than you. I'll go to bed an hour later than you at least."

After counterattacking without any sign of weakness, Nokigao sighed again.

"But having said that, that black card is really hard. I took turns pressing it all night long without even bending."

"Uh hee hee~"

Karina laughed, her mood suddenly brightening.

"Think on the bright side. Fortunately, it's hard enough. If it were [White Beard] pressing down on you, you wouldn't have back pain, but heartache."

"Yes, if you think about it, it's a good thing there's not [Whitebeard] on the bed."

Nami felt happy.

"It's that strange card [Six Styles·Level...] ​​or something."

"Dad made that card himself, not from the newspaper~"

Ila suddenly spoke.

"That's what I said! Now the case is solved!"

"Nogigao, you didn't say anything."

……

Click!

There was a soft sound, and an office door suddenly opened, and the young and vigorous dean walked out without a smile.

da da da da...

The sound of brisk and dense footsteps came from the left side. He frowned, turned his head with dignity, and scolded sternly.

"I told you several times! Don't run in the corridor! Hey! Where are you—"

shhh-

The sudden strong wind blew away what he was about to say.

"Borrowed! Borrowed!"

A little girl ran toward him from the wall, leaping over the open door like a hurdle, leaping over his head.

Then came the second one.

"Sorry! Sorry!"

This one was lower, and the edge of his left shoe brushed dangerously across the top of his head. His thick, dark hair fell to both sides like Moses parting the sea, revealing the shiny top of his head.

"We're in a hurry!"

Next, a third and fourth person ran past the door quickly. Although they were also running in the corridor, they were relatively normal and made people burst into tears.

boom--

The door was closed suddenly. The dean behind the door rubbed his eyes vigorously, took a deep breath, and opened the door again - there was no one outside.

"..."

After standing at the door for a long time, he closed the door again, turned around and murmured to himself.

"It seems I can't stay up late anymore. I'd better go to bed early in the future."
