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

From Tokyo to Sydney, it will take at least eight hours to arrive without any impact.However, that could only happen in theory, so under normal circumstances, the entire voyage is about ten hours, and the time for getting on and off the plane is also deducted.

Although it is written in black and white in the athlete's code that athletes are not allowed to drink alcohol in private, to be honest, there are by no means a minority of people who violate the ban, and if they are found out, they will at most write a self-criticism.In summary, he is obviously not going to solve Rin Matsuoka's drinking problem.

Although he seemed to have considered it well, to be honest he regretted it the moment he boarded the plane.Tachibana Makoto usually has severe dependence. At this time, he can't even speak the language, but he doesn't like to deal with people. Nanase Haruka, who doesn't even know where Matsuoka Rin lives, searches for Matsuoka Rin only by his email address— — Nothing could be more absurd than that.

Intuition tells Nanase Haruka that Rin Matsuoka probably fell out with Sousuke Yamazaki—but except for Sousuke Yamazaki, there is no way to entrust Rin Matsuoka like this to anyone.

That's why he had to come despite the absurdity.Just like after arguing with Tachibana Makoto, Matsuoka Rin consciously took him away.

When Ye Yuezhu joked before, "Xiaoyao and Xiaolin are really the angels who save each other", it was disgusting to be called by both of them at the same time - but maybe this is the truth.From the perspective of future development, they are the most likely to carry on the fetters of a lifetime.Someone who can always support and inspire each other to keep going.

Matsuoka Rin is indeed an important person to him, so he will be shaken again and again because of Matsuoka Rin's affairs and even do things that everyone doesn't understand.However, the importance of Rin Matsuoka is different from that of Makoto Tachibana. If he hadn't met Rin Matsuoka, he might still meet someone similar at the right time to replace Rin Matsuoka.But Tachibana Makoto is Tachibana Makoto, it can't be someone else, as long as it changes a little, it's not that important, it's not that person.

He can freely accept that the intersection with Matsuoka Rin in the days to come is mainly to compete in major competitions. After all, this is where their bond came from, but not with Tachibana Makoto.When Tachibana Makoto said "I want to compete seriously with Xiaoyao", when he realized that the request that Matsuoka Rin often made was actually said from Tachibana Makoto, at that moment he started flustered.He watched helplessly as tears rolled down the smiling face of the loser at the moment Ju Zhenqin broke through the water, but he could only stand there as if he was being held down by a heavy object.

"As expected, you are the strongest in the water, Xiaoyao."

No matter how familiar it is, it can't cover up the strangeness of Tachibana Makoto in Nanase Haruka's eyes at this moment.

He could clearly feel that because of Matsuoka Rin's existence, he and Tachibana Makoto might be pushed further and further away.He knew that Tachibana Makoto smiled reluctantly because of these things, and her emerald eyes flowed like water waves.When he didn't realize his own mind, he could only use words like "it's nice to have you by my side" to show the subtle difference between Tachibana Makoto and Matsuoka Rin.

But now he doesn't know what to say, as if whatever he says is futile.

Makoto Tachibana, who is afraid of the sea, is sometimes just like the sea.No matter how much you say about some things, you will never get a response like a valley.The sea is always silent, you can't guess what the sea thinks.

The flight attendant began to prompt the passengers to turn off the wireless communication equipment.

Nanase Haruka stopped reminiscing, checked her phone for the last time, remembered Tachibana Makoto's email, calculated the time, and sent him a scheduled text message.

"Sorry, I can't go."

It was written vaguely, neither lying nor telling the truth.

He didn't know why Tachibana Makoto had to compete with himself that time, and he still doesn't know—he just vaguely felt that it had something to do with Matsuoka Rin.

The resulting intuition made him conceal the truth this time.

Tokyo.

"The class in the morning is really... annoying, and the get out of class time is too short..." Morita Takuma stretched his waist, saw Tachibana Makoto getting up, and simply hooked his shoulder, "Don't play with your phone... together go to eat?"

"Well, I'm sorry, please wait a moment..." Tachibana turned slightly, and quickly clicked on the new text message on the phone.Morita Takuma also turned around knowingly to talk to someone else.

"Sorry, I can't go."

"It's really Haruka's style..."

But why do you feel that something is wrong?

Maybe...Compared to the inseparable inseparables before, is it really too long since we haven't seen each other?

Tachibana Makoto put away her mobile phone, and rushed to the cafeteria with Morita Takuma who came back from the conversation.

Nanase Haruka, who chose to sleep on the plane after eating the plane meal because of a cold, woke up automatically an hour before getting off the plane.

The headache seems to have eased, and the body temperature has further stabilized, only the nasal congestion is still not getting better.

Overall, the disease was contained.

Nanase Haruka moved her numb body from sleep, raised her hand and glanced at the brown watch on her wrist that was the same model as Tachibana Makoto.

17:32 Tokyo time.

If it is normal, Tachibana Makoto should have already started preparing for tomorrow's event at this time.

Thinking of this, Nanase Haruka felt a little guilty inexplicably.

You can be honest with Matsuoka Rin, admit that you have a cold because you are afraid of trouble, or admit other things like fetters-but you can't do it with Tachibana Makoto.

Not being able to treat each other's tenderness honestly is really, really, an excessive thing.

"Forget it... since I can't fall asleep, I'll read a book."

Nanase Haruka somewhat evasively opened the book in his hand that he brought out when he went out.

It turned out to be "Common English Conversations Used by Athletes".

No matter how good or bad the subject grades are when entering the team, or how old or young they are, everyone is treated equally when studying this book.After all, most of the members are going or will participate in international competitions, and it is impossible to do without translation.

But this book... seems to be quite thick.

Nanase Haruka turned it over with some doubts.

The handwriting on the book is not my own.My own handwriting is very light, and the bends of each word are also very random, completely in the font of "Free".

And the writing on it is neat.

Nanase Haruka lowered her head and thought for a moment.

It seems to be Tachibana Makoto's words - like most big boys, the lines between the lines are somewhat careless.It's just that the neat handwriting made me feel strange, that guy obviously wrote it in scribbles.

I don’t know if it’s because of the well-developed muscles on Tachibana Makoto’s arms. Nanase Haruka suspects that he can’t finish reading so much content. He actually insists on writing stroke by stroke from beginning to end, and it’s not because of sore arms or subjective Impatient and brief on even one word.

Not only was every English word that Nanase Haruka was slightly unfamiliar with marked by his own phonetic symbols and the homophony of the Japanese Roman accent, but there was even an emergency note written by him inside.

For example, "Say Excuseme first when you meet someone", if you don't hear it clearly, you should say "Ibag your pardon", if it doesn't work, show them the example sentence and ask them to write it down. Sure enough, there is a blank page at the back, with a small ballpoint pen sandwiched between them.

"Even the honorifics are reminded, as expected of Makoto——desu."

Haruka Nanase complained silently in her heart. [①]

Obviously, this is not the textbook for Haruka Nanase's class—it was prepared by Tachibana Makoto at some point and placed on the shoe shelf in his entrance, just in case.

It is "Common English Conversation for Athletes" in the special version "Nanase Haruka Special Edition" made by Makoto Tachibana.

"Is Makoto an idiot... After reading his notes for so many years, no matter how scribbled or simple the writing is, I can't understand it. Isn't it tiring to write like this?"

Also... that guy doesn't speak English well.

Nanase Haruka closed the book.With Tachibana Makoto's preparation, he no longer needs to review those dialogues that he doesn't want to use at all.

It was nearly eight o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Australia. As soon as Nanase Haruka got off the plane, he felt a wave of heat blowing towards his face.

Forget it's summer in Australia...

I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune, Nanase Haruka who hurried out forgot all the lessons of this illness, and came out wearing light clothes.Fortunately, the close-fitting clothes are just the old long-sleeved shirts worn in high school instead of regular pajamas. After taking off the jacket, it is hardly too strange in the fully air-conditioned airport.

Nanase Haruka walked out of the bathroom with her clothes in her arms, surrounded by strangers who hurried past, blond and blue-eyed, speaking a language he didn't quite understand.

He collapsed on the chair in the airport waiting room with some exhaustion, the cold metal made him almost jump up.However, he just sat up straight, with one hand holding his clothes, and the other holding tightly the smartphone he bought under Ju Zhenqin.

Naturally, it is still the same model as Ju Zhenqin, this time even the color is the same, only the phone case is different.

At that time when he changed his mobile phone, he only felt that Ju Zhenqin's tube was too wide, and he didn't want to learn how to use this extremely troublesome high-tech product at all.However, when he was trying to recall the method of using Google Maps taught by that person at this time, he was very grateful to have such a person by his side, and his company or not was a guardian.

Because of him, in Sydney, which is 7793 kilometers away from Tokyo, the sky is clear even though it is night.

Companionship is the longest confession of love, tacit understanding is the most silent love words.

Nanase Haruka was 19 years old at the time.He knows how to swim freestyle faster, knows how to cook mackerel, and knows a lot of things Makoto Tachibana doesn't know, but he doesn't know that this is love.

The author has something to say: Remarks: ① Haruka’s complaint: desu here is an honorific.In the theater version and novels, Haruka is often reminded by Makoto to add honorifics, and then he awkwardly adds the honorific "desu" at the end of a sentence (for details, see the English-style honorifics of the returned child, Kagami Taiga usage).There was no need to add honorifics to this sentence, but it was because Haruka was complaining about Makoto that he said it on purpose.
