Floating [free] [True Haruka] [Zong Rin]

"I'm sorry! I kept Xiaoyao waiting for a long time! Something has been delayed temporarily."

Nanase Haruka turned her head slightly behind her, and heard Tachibana Makoto's violent panting from far and near.When he got close, he replied in a low voice as usual: "It's okay. But don't add 'small'."

"Sorry sorry."

At the same time, Nanase Haruka's head naturally turned back in the direction Tachibana Makoto was running, and her feet began to take the first step, so Tachibana Makoto didn't stop for a moment, and the two of them became side by side as smoothly as a relay Move forward.

This is also a tacit agreement.This silent tacit understanding is deposited in time. It passes through the humid sea breeze, blows through the stone steps and torii gates of the shrine, and is printed in the shadow of goldfish and fireworks in the company and waiting day after day.It crossed the rock kite and came to Tokyo, as if following the waves of the mayfly, rippling and coming here.

"It's not too late, I'm late for training."

"Today happened to be Yao arrived early, I'm really sorry!"

All at the same time.

The two stopped and looked at each other.In the end, Tachibana Makoto couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The Nanase Haruka in front of him was exactly as Tachibana Makoto had guessed before, without any warm clothing.He who refused to reveal his true thoughts was trying to suppress the chills caused by the cold.At the same time, the dry hair was swaying and told Tachibana Makoto that this person who never seriously dried or dried his hair had been here for a long time.

Nanase Haruka seemed to be unhappy because of Tachibana Makoto's sudden laugh, she turned her head to the side awkwardly, thought for a while and raised her head again, pretending to be looking at the horizon.

The brightness of the sunset glow is getting weaker and weaker. The warm sun, which is rare in winter, has already shrunk its light, and the weather has turned gloomy and cold again.

The unique cold wind in winter seems to be against the higher temperature in the crowd, and it keeps pouring in from the gaps in the crowd.

"Ah... so cold! It's still warm in the daytime..."

Nanase Haruka, who heard Tachibana Makoto complaining, turned her head subconsciously, but happened to be wrapped in a scarf.Familiar, warm and genial, with an inexplicable taste, mixed with male hormones like myself, the smell of Makoto.There are also exposed eyes that can be seen, Tachibana Makoto's smile that can make people feel warm in winter.

At that moment, Nanase Haruka felt her heart skip a beat.

It's like throbbing when you see water.

"Hey...Makoto..."

Tachibana Makoto, who was talking coldly, wrapped herself tightly with a scarf. Nanase Haruka wanted to say something and put the scarf around the other party's neck again, but Tachibana Makoto, who could always read his thoughts clearly, immediately rushed ahead of him Said the words: "It's okay, I have a hat. It's thicker than Yao's."

Speaking of which, Tachibana Makoto also stood up the hat attached to the back of the clothes to prove that what she said was true.

"But it's Makoto who says it's cold."

"It's going to be cold after a while! It's not the first time that Yao took off his clothes halfway, and when he goes back to the dormitory by himself, he'll be cold! I have more clothes than Yao's, so after eating It won't be cold anymore."

Just as she was talking, Tachibana Makoto pushed Nanase Haruka up involuntarily and walked towards the restaurant.

Saying it is push is actually not very accurate.Tachibana Makoto did not reach out to push him, but stood one step behind him and walked forward. At this time, only one shoulder of the two of them overlapped with the other's shoulder on a different side.In this way, if Tachibana Makoto moves forward, Nanase Haruka has to move forward, and if she walks a step slower, her shoulders just touch each other.

And Nanase Haruka has been helpless about it.

To some extent, many things are like this. Tachibana Makoto has been guiding Nanase Haruka subtly in her own way.

The two people who came to Tokyo from the Iwatobi test are now living on campus according to the requirements of the school. Although they live not as close as before, it is not too far away in general. If you want, you can eat together, shop together, and study together. It's not big, it's just that they didn't stay together every day and every moment like the previous 18 years.

that is it.

There was a lot of voices in the hot restaurant, but it didn't make people feel disgusted.It is the kind of excitement that people feel cordial when they are in a foreign land.It can also be said that Tachibana Makoto chose the right seat.He has always been able to make Nanase Haruka feel "Free", without any unnatural feeling.

Nanase Haruka was eating the last bit of mackerel on her plate, while leaning over to read the professional books in the hands of Tachibana Makoto who had finished eating first.He found that he could no longer understand Tachibana Makoto's textbooks.

Nanase Haruka felt inexplicably irritated by the unfamiliarity caused by the difficulty of the textbook. He casually poked the mackerel, which was usually very tempting, with his chopsticks, but for the first time never picked it up and ate it.

"For Haruka, it's boring, isn't it?"

Nanase Haruka didn't expect Tachibana Makoto to ask such a question, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Not as good as swimming."

As a water jerk, in his eyes, few things can compare to swimming.This coping answer sucks.

Haruka Nanase turned her head to look at Makoto Tachibana.Even after hearing such perfunctory words, there was still a good-natured smile on that sharp-edged face, which many girls called "the smile of an archangel", but there was a thick and thick smile under the drooping eyes that were full of sunshine. The indissoluble shadows barely appear so obvious under the cover of the glasses.

This was given to him by how many nights of burning lights.

It's just... exhausting.

"What are you looking at?"

Tachibana Makoto noticed that Nanase Haruka was staring at herself intently, and then slightly moved her gaze away from the textbook.

"It's nothing."

The moment Tachibana Makoto turned her head, Nanase Haruka was surprised to find that rather than being too tolerant of her answer, it was better to say that the smile on Tachibana Makoto's face had never disappeared.Even when facing the boring textbooks, there is no trace of impatience between his brows, or even a smile.

"I said, Makoto."

"Ok?"

"Such a textbook, why does Makoto still laugh when she reads it?"

"Eh?"

"Am... am I laughing?" Tachibana Makoto looked surprised.

"...Is Makoto an idiot?" Or is it really just this guy with the splayed eyebrows who just got into the habit of laughing?

"Ehhh?!"

Tachibana Makoto reached out and rubbed her face, as if confirming this fact.

The big boy with brown fluffy hair habitually supported his chin with his index finger and thumb and thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, he stretched out a finger and shook it, and said to Nanase Haruka in a very affirmative tone: "Because of Haruka. I was very happy to see Haruka. So, I didn't even notice, but I was smiling all the time."

Tachibana Makoto didn't seem to be shy or entangled in such frank words, and just said it frankly.

That's great.

"I thought you really got used to your facial nerves like Rin said."

"Obviously there are times when I don't laugh! Rin is too much to say that!"

"It's really Makoto."

Nanase Haruka thought so, and swallowed the last mouthful of mackerel.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
