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

Tokyo.

seven in the morning.

The vibration from under the pillow woke Tachibana Makoto who was sleeping soundly.

alarm clock?

Still half asleep and half awake, he rolled over and sat up, rubbed his sleepy eyes with his left hand, and skillfully reached under the pillow with his bandaged right hand to touch his mobile phone, turning off the alarm at the usual position without looking at it Click on it.

The phone continued to vibrate unconvincingly, forcing him to look down.

Tokyo.Unknown call.

Tachibana Makoto thought of the sleepless Morita Takuma on the upper bunk, so she got out of bed lightly with her mobile phone, put on a piece of clothing, and went outside the dormitory to call back the phone that had been hung up.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Orange?"

The caller was a middle-aged man, who seemed very anxious, and rushed to ask questions before he answered the phone and said "もしもし［②］" and apologized for not answering the phone just now.

Being called "さん［③］" by someone who sounds like an elder is still rare for Tachibana Makoto who has not yet worked.

"Yes! What can I do for you?" Although I don't understand the situation, I can't go wrong with honorifics.

The person on the other side of the phone paused, and his tone became hesitant.

"Excuse me, is this me? There is something urgent."

"My surname is indeed Tachibana... Tachibana Makoto."

Tachibana Makoto felt a little baffled.Did you call the wrong number?

"The person we are looking for...is indeed you." The other party stopped using honorifics immediately, and put down his hesitant tone, but asked eagerly, "I am the manager of Nanase-kun's team. Then, do you know Where is he now?"

"remote?"

The last time we met seemed to be before an exam in a class.

"Yes, Nanase Haruka. You are the primary contact on his contact list. In case of any emergency, you will be the first person we will contact." The person who claimed to be the manager spoke faster and faster, "Please let me He returned to the team immediately and did not wait overdue."

Return to the team immediately?So, Haruka...was it possible that he had already left the team when he rejected him before?

It's too late to think about why he occupies such an extremely important position as the primary contact, Tachibana Makoto is already uneasy just thinking about it like this.

"He's not with me, what happened? Do I need to be here immediately?"

"There is indeed something that needs you to come."

"I'll come right away."

Morita Takuma stood at the door with his disheveled hair at some point.The only one who can make Tachibana Makoto forget about today's lecture, which was to refresh the website repeatedly to grab a seat, is probably only Nanase Haruka.

"Sorry... for waking you up." Tachibana Makoto said somewhat apologetically to the roommate who was woken up while putting on thick clothes.

"Why do you apologize for being in such a hurry." Morita Takuma threw the bag in his hand to Tachibana Makoto, "I just called a taxi for you, and this is your breakfast. You always take care of others, and you can do nothing when it's your turn Regardless. You wouldn't be having breakfast without this."

Tachibana Makoto, who was rarely taken care of by others, was stunned for a moment.

"Let's go! What are you still doing!" Morita Takuma pushed Tachibana Makoto out, "I promise to help you take notes without sleeping during the lecture!"

"Morita-kun." Tachibana Makoto who was pushed out suddenly turned around.

"Why?" Morita Takuma scratched his head and said angrily, "Tell me something, I'm angry to get up."

"Thank you."

"Let's go if you have nothing to do!" Morita Takuma was stunned, and closed the door of the dormitory with a "snap", pretending that there was no such thing as Tachibana Makoto's words with a laugh.

Hearing the hurried footsteps going away quickly, Morita Takuma slowly slid down against the door of the dormitory and squatted on the ground.

"How should I put it...you are really annoying."

"I'm bored."

Tachibana Makoto ran downstairs almost all the way, and when he rushed to the school gate and told the destination in the taxi, he felt that he had inhaled too much cold air in his lungs, felt a burning pain, and coughed uncontrollably up.

As the person who knows Nanase Haruka best, Tachibana Makoto has always known that something was wrong from the time when she was rejected for the first time to this time when Morita Takuma kindly reminded that the email was still unread but ended with a text message. of.

If it was more than a year ago, and he hadn't understood anything from the match with Yao, then since he didn't have the state of mind before growing up, he would not be at ease anyway, and would definitely try his best to meet him after being rejected. other side.

But not now.

He spent a long time thinking about this question, what kind of posture should he be with Nanase Haruka.

Protection, staying away, and fighting side by side are all wrong.

The person he admired the most was Rin Matsuoka.You can naturally stand beside Nanase Haruka, with such a deep bond, you can work hand in hand with him in the future.Tachibana Makoto has seen the light in Nanase Haruka's eyes, and the raging fighting spirit in his eyes who have never been optimistic about the results of the competition.

When Tachibana Makoto was helpless after the quarrel, Matsuoka Rin gave Nanase Haruka the transformation.

That powerlessness.

Tachibana Makoto said in junior high school, I really like swimming.But he wanted to say, I really still like Xiaoyao, to the point where I tolerate all the other’s shortcomings, to the point where I turn my fear into a hobby, to the point where no matter what I do, I don’t think it’s good enough, to the point where I use my life so far Accompanying and getting to know the same person.

He said "I want to compete seriously with Xiaoyao", which has nothing to do with Matsuoka Rin. Rather than wanting to compete with Nanase Haruka, it is better to say that he wants to compete with his own talent.

Tachibana Makoto is not a swimming genius, and it can even be said that he is not so suitable for swimming because of his slightly burly figure. I probably like the motivation to support him to reach a level far beyond ordinary people.

I like swimming.I like swimming with Xiaoyao.I like myself swimming with Xiaoyao.I like to swim with Xiaoyao's own courage and growth.

The theme is swimming, but the key word is Xiaoyao.

The moment he broke through the water, he had to admit that this was the limit of his talent.I have to admit that with my own talent, there is no way to go on with the other party in this way.

He tried to stay away, and even thought about giving up his dreams and pursuits to stay by that person's side, but nothing was right—something he had thought about since middle school had surfaced again.

"I want to go to a world without Xiaoyao."

He really thought about it before he said he was going to Tokyo.Since I can't stay with you all the time, I should let each other get used to the days without each other as soon as possible.

There is no logical error this time.

But when he gradually let go and looked back, it seemed that everyone was starting to grow up and started running towards their own future, only Nanase Haruka was standing there at a loss.

Do you want to go?

Tachibana Makoto froze immediately.

He finally chose Watchman.

guard.outlook.

He is waiting for Nanase Haruka to grow up bit by bit.From the stubborn child who only swam freestyle many years ago, he began to grow up, and when his ability to protect Haruka Nanase could no longer keep up with the range of Haruka Nanase's growth, he let go.

Tachibana Makoto really doesn't know whether she should be happy or sad in such a situation.

Are you happy?Being particularly favored by the other party - as expected, he is still needed now.sad?

Are you sad?

Tachibana Makoto sighed, and dialed the manager's phone number just now.

"Hello, this is Tachibana Makoto. I'll go to Yao's dormitory, and I can probably judge what's going on. The two sides are not far away, and I'll come over later."

The author has something to say: ①The Japanese standard seems to be bunk beds.

②The "Moses Moses" we are familiar with before the Japanese call, that is, "Hi".

③We often say "Sang", it is more reasonable to be called "Jun" at Makoto's age.
