lost...

I touched my cheek.

The sourness in my eyes kept coming, I clenched the camera tightly and lowered my hand.

That's right, didn't you predict it at the beginning, now that Wuye will lose against Aoba Castle West, right?

That is also a rational analysis, how could it be accepted emotionally.

And... the final draw, such a miracle, I predicted that Karasuno would lose completely.

But Karasuno persisted until the last round, and it even became a tug of war.

For the last ball, Kageyama passed it to Xiangyang.

I put the camera back into the bag, and wanted to reach out to clean up the towel and water cup, but Renhua quickly stopped me, she smiled, "Xiaozhi, let me go, I have to help, and , Hinata over there..."

I shook my head.

I think he doesn't need me to comfort him now.

Right now, Xiangyang, who scored the last goal, is the most uncomfortable.

When he got on the bus, he undoubtedly met Xiangyang.

Xiangyang moved his lips, walked in front of me, and said two words, "...Sorry."

It really is these two words.

I sighed, stretched out my hand and rubbed his somewhat messy hair, I felt a soft touch on my hand, I moved my hand to Xiangyang's face, and then slapped his face suddenly, making a loud noise, Greeting Xiangyang's surprised gaze, I said slowly, "Xiangyang, haven't you worked hard? If so, don't say sorry to me, you have nothing to be sorry for me."

"The so-called failure-it is the only way to succeed in the next more dazzling success."

"Whether you say sorry to me or say sorry to yourself, aren't you too sorry for your hard work?"

"gardenia……"

"So, don't stop."

I looked at him firmly.

"The Xiangyang I know——"

"It's not someone who stops in a place like this!"

"Zhi... yes!!"

Xiangyang raised his voice a little, I looked at the light in his eyes, patted his shoulder, gave him a thumbs up, and said with a smile, "That's all."

After a day of fierce fighting, Wu Yang took us to the restaurant where we usually come for dinner. Under the atmosphere of losing the game, no one spoke, only Wu Yang's occasional voice ordering dishes, and There was the sound of rice bowls being knocked.

I understand it intellectually, but I can't convince myself emotionally.

The vision gradually became blurred, and the tears kept falling on the clean table, forming a small puddle of brown marks. I didn't know whether the tears fell into the rice bowl, but I could only remember the unwillingness at this moment, and then step by step, Get down to earth and become stronger.

I looked up at the people around me and heard the sound of crying in my ear.

Chewing the rice in my mouth, I endured the sourness in my eyes.

Maybe it's because I've cried once, my situation is somewhat better.

Wipe away the tears, look up at the sun, and move forward firmly.

On the way home, although Xiangyang was much better than in the beginning, he was still a little less energetic than usual.

Walking on this quiet road, the night gradually shrouded.

"Zhi, the fireworks display this time."

"I will go." I replied, kicking the small stones on the ground, no matter what important things Xiangyang wants to tell me, now I say, "Although it will be here in a few days, but if it is, fireworks Ah, it is also possible to realize the wish, when the time comes, Chungao will win."

Xiangyang was stunned.

"This year's fireworks display, our family's shrine, and if the maiden prays, I will pray desperately for Xiangyang and Karasuno."

I turned to look at him.

Reaching out to him, "As long as you haven't lost to yourself, it's not considered a failure."

"IH failed, there is still Chungao, and there are still many games."

"There is no one who succeeds from the beginning."

At the beginning, I also cried. The first thing a person learns from birth seems to be crying.

After crying, there will be a brighter smile.

Being thrown into the woods by my mother for exercise, I was not used to it at first, but I gradually became stronger and bandaged myself, firmly believing that what lies ahead must be something infinitely closer to the beauty of a rainbow.

"Since you are not reconciled to the current results, then work hard, the person who told me about it."

"—Isn't it Xiangyang?"

Xiangyang's warm orange eyes were shining with light, as if they were flickering.

He raised the corners of his mouth a little bit, showing an extremely gentle smile.

Like the warm sun in winter, very warm.

He reached out to hold my hand, which was extremely accurate, not my illusion.

Fingers intertwined.

Wait, wait, suddenly shaking hands or something, I just wanted to high-five? ?

"really……"

Xiangyang's voice was a little low, I didn't hear it clearly, I looked at him suspiciously, hoping he could say it again.

But he just shook his head, he let go of his hand, the sudden loss of warmth, I followed Xiangyang's hand with some regrets and put my eyes on him.

"Thank you, Zhi."

Xiangyang returned to his usual smile, looking at the look on his face, I was somewhat relieved, it seems that the occasional messy stuff from magazines is still good.

He waved his hand towards me, got on his bicycle, and walked away gradually.

I exhale.

It seemed that Xiangyang's finger temperature still remained, a little hot.

I opened the door and went back home. I saw my younger brother who was already watching the video in the living room. I stopped and walked over to him and asked him, "Yi, do you know the feeling of failure?"

"...Are you provoking me?" My younger brother looked at me unkindly, "Didn't you just ask this question before?"

"The problem is different."

"What's different?" The younger brother sighed, he paused the video, and glanced at me, "You ask about failure, what kind of failure do you mean? If you talk about failure, wouldn't it be better for you to experience it yourself? "

I rubbed my chin, thought for a while, and replied, "But I have never experienced failure. Even if it is an exam, I got into the top [-] this time."

"...You bastard, don't show off your grades, okay? Sister, why does the guy who has been relying on metaphysics do so well in the exam?"

"Ah, it's so hot."

"That's not the point, tell me about it. Tell me about the person you want to beat."

"If you ask me how I feel, I must be unwilling."

"Standing on the field, no one comes here to lose."

"For such things as failure, I will not say anything arrogant, I will admit it, and then—with failure, I will go back to glory."

I blinked slowly, thinking of what my brother said before, "But isn't the word failure not in your dictionary?"

"Asshole gorilla, fight?!"

"You can't beat me," I said.

"……you go!"

I walked out of the living room and went back to my room.

I looked at the CDs I borrowed from various places.

Aoba Castle West, Shiratorizawa, Date Industry.

Three huge high walls.

The words that my brother said to me at the end are also unavoidable.

"Xiangyang and the others lost, right? However, failure has another meaning. There is still a lot of room for them to grow. As long as the method is right, the impossible will become possible."

Xiangyang and Yingshan's quick attack.

That is Karasuno's powerful weapon, but it is even more beneficial to forge this weapon.

It depends on how to use it.

But... what's more important right now is the fireworks display.

For me, it was the first time to go to a fireworks display with the boy I like.

You should also prepare your yukata.

Hairstyle, what kind of hairstyle is it?

Speaking of which, on that day, our shrine will also be open, and many people will come to make friends.

Just the workload that day, I think I might die suddenly.

Relying on me and my brother, my mother should do a prayer dance. After thinking about it, I really felt that I was going to die suddenly.

"Go."

A gentle voice sounded behind me, I trembled and turned my head to look behind me.

"Mom...don't always be like this, it will scare people to death."

"Ah, I'm sorry." My mother smiled, and she walked to me and sat down. She was wearing a witch costume that has never changed for thousands of years. She looked at me with crooked eyes, "If you have something you want to do, just do it. , Mom will support you."

"Mother……"

She stretched out her hand and touched my head, and said with a smile, "Let Xiaoyi do everything."

... the devil! !Mother is really a super devil! !Saying scary things with Yamato Nadeko's smile on his face.

"By the way," my mother took out a beautiful bag and handed it to me, "Yukata, I'm ready too."

"When the time comes, you must confess successfully."

Ah...is it so obvious, does my mother know that I have someone I like?

No, no, it should be said, why did she know that I planned to confess on the day of the fireworks display?

She seemed to have guessed what I was thinking, and put her index finger in front of her mouth, "Don't look at me like this, I've been in love before."

I looked at the bathrobe in the bag and lowered my eyes.

Confession?

"Come on." My mother clenched her hands into fists and nodded towards me, "Xiao Zhi's words will be fine."

"Well, I will work hard."

Fireworks show.

It just sounds like a beautiful event.

When I went back to school the next day, I asked Xia Renhua if she wanted to go to the fireworks display.

"Fireworks show...ah, speaking of it, it's been a few days." Renhua replied belatedly.

"Yes," I raised my head confidently, "this time, I will confess."

"Confession, confession?!!! Xiao Zhi, you, do you want to confess, confess?! To Hinata?"

"That's right." I stretched out my index finger and scratched my cheek, "To be honest, I don't have much confidence, because I always feel that my reputation is very subtle after seeing the reactions of the seniors."

"So you still know."

"Renhua, what is my reputation like? You always have such an expression on your face."

"That," Renhua's tone became unexpectedly calm, "Simply put, it's the big sister who is in charge of this area, who overthrew all the school leaders and successfully occupied the entire county's terrorists."

"...How did it spread?"

"I've said it very lightly, Xiaozhi."

Qingchuanzhi was knocked down by Gudi Renhua's words.

The effect is outstanding.

Can't afford to fall.

Instead of thinking about the titles of these extraneous things, I ran over and asked Xiangyang directly.

In this case, don't I just care about my own thoughts?

If you think about it, you will not get the result.

"Huh? Rumors about Zhi?"

"That," Xiangyang seemed to remember something, and suddenly laughed, "It is indeed very different from the rumors after contact."

... Sure enough, even Xiangyang knows about it?

"But ah..."

Xiangyang raised his smiling face, stretched out his hand and rubbed my hair, "I've seen enough with my eyes to see what kind of person Zhi is."

He stared at me, with slight ripples in his eyes.

I nervously met his gaze.

In his eyes, what kind of person am I?

"Zhi, you are a super nice person!"

……

Qingchuanzhi, who was knocked down by Hinata Xiangyang's words, never wanted to wake up again.

How can this be an outstanding effect, a proper knowing blow.
