fall in love with Echizen

When Ryoma left, I went to see it off.

At the airport, we just hugged.

"Remember to call." I said.

Ryoma leaned his head on my shoulder and hummed.

A flat farewell, this time my heart is very peaceful.

—and was quickly taken over by the new school.

A few days later, I went shopping with Chiyo and the others. Chiyohaya and Nozaki Umetaro had a good relationship, and even rode a tandem bicycle sweetly during the holidays.

I:"……"

As soon as we met, Chiyo happily raised his smiling face and opened his hands: "Congratulations, Ewha-chan! University of Tokyo!"

Jieyue rubbed her chin and stared at me: "Ah, that's exotic love."

I hugged Chiyo and laughed happily. After hearing the words, I laughed again: "Just graduate from junior high school, it doesn't matter."

... No, it's better to say that I didn't regard this as a trouble at all, and I was stunned when Jieyue said it.

However, would Ryoma take this as a trouble?I can't help thinking.

"Okay! Where are you going to play?" Kashima Yu stretched out his hand and said happily, "The long vacation without homework is the best!"

I immediately put that strange thought behind me: "Of course I'm going to—"

Chiyo: "Go shopping!"

……

After playing with my good friends from high school for a few days, I hurried to the next set to play with my good friends from middle school.

Inside the milk tea shop, Wang Tanaka was as stupid as ever, and said seriously: "I think someone has a crush on me already."

Kikuchi Akane's dead eyes: "...which otome game is it again?"

I bite the straw and drink milk tea: "..."

Luomiya Shiori looked down at the cup: "..."

"Of course it's a male college student in the future! Youth! Playground! Study room! Confession!" Nozomi Tanaka hugged himself and began to twist on the seat, closing his eyes as if intoxicated.

"..." Akane Juchi turned to us silently, "Where are you going later?"

I thought for a while: "Watching a movie?"

Shiori Sagiomiya's face was paralyzed: "The recent "Disqualification in the World: Osamu Dazai and Three Women" seems to be good."

Akane Kikuchi made a final decision: "Okay! Let's go and see Dazai Osamu and the three women in his harem!"

Nozomi Tanaka: "...Don't ignore me, hey! Besides, you said the name of the movie completely wrong!"

At this time, Yui hurriedly opened the store door: "Ahhh, I'm sorry I'm late!"

Nozomi Tanaka immediately shifted the battle line, let out a haha, and gloated: "I'll punish you to watch a palace fight between a woman and three Osamu Dazai!"

Yui: "...Eh? What is that?"

……

I played to my heart's content for half a month, and when I slowly recovered, I remembered something, sat at home, and called Ryoma.

There was a faint sound of the ball being hit from the other end. The boy seemed to be walking outside after answering the phone, and the sound of the hitting gradually faded away: "Hello."

The sound after exercising, with the sound of panting.

It seems that I haven't spoken for a long time in my memory. Although I chat on the mobile phone network, but there are very few real calls, I don't know what to say for a while.

I paused: "...Hello, do you need a tennis shop VIP? It's the discount season."

Ryoma: "How much?"

...and actually caught the conversation! ?

I said casually: "[-]% off, no bargaining. It's really a loss."

Ryoma seemed to laugh, and the slight panting of movement was clearly heard in my ears: "Yes, it is possible——Miss, how is life as a salesman?"

I thought about it: "It's okay. There is no homework, and I don't know what to play until I play. What about you?"

Ryoma first commented on my words: "I play until I don't know what to play, which means I am very idle?... I am just training and playing games."

I rolled on the bed: "Hey——"

"Oh, that's right." Long Ma said suddenly, "I'm going to ask my friend over there to send you something today, remember to pick it up."

I paused, and immediately stood up excitedly: "What is what!"

But he kept it secret and scratched my ear with a soft laugh: "You will know when the time comes."

After hanging up the phone, I couldn't help but guess.

what is itclothing?Or chocolate?

I thought it would take a few days, but it arrived in the afternoon. I was shocked when I opened the door and saw the smiling face of the courier.

So fast……!The ones who won't ask you are the friends here, right?Didn't you just ask for it today?

I signed the courier, thanked me and closed the door, put it on the living room table and cut it open with scissors.

Very small courier.

With the sound of the small carton being torn, the gift inside was revealed.

A flimsy piece of paper.

I froze for a moment, picked it up and looked through it.

The note stuffed inside was not written by Ryoma, but probably belonged to that friend.

I looked.

[Would you like to come to the United States to play before school starts?Just send it back to the original address. ]

I:"!"

I thought about it for a long time. I haven't gone abroad alone, but I have applied for a passport before... Although I didn't have time to go out with my parents in the end.

I calculated the start time of school and the pocket money I had saved, and sent it back in a cruel heart. The address was very close, and it was probably his familiar teammates who were training here.

On the same day, Ryoma sent me a weird emoticon package.

[Ryoma: Maomao laughs.jpg]

[Ewha: Cat Beats People.jpg]

Soon, I received another courier.

open.

A light air ticket lay quietly inside.

I:"……"

Unfortunately, I have been struggling for a long time because I was struggling with my pocket money...

***

I!first!I went abroad to play alone!

Two days later, I got off the plane with my suitcase, and the airport was full of blondes and other people with hair and eyes coming and going.

The ears are full of accented or extremely fast English.

I suddenly tensed up.

I rarely speak to genuine native speakers of English—except for foreign teachers.

Heart pounding.

Just as I was gearing up to find a stranger to try, as soon as I walked out, I met a man wearing a white baseball cap who seemed to have just left the training ground, and his whole body was full of wild and arrogant aura.

When he saw me from a distance, he raised his hand and raised his baseball cap a little distance. The cat pupils were smiling, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, with a confident and playful expression, and said: "Welcome to the United States. Miss."

I still use Japanese: "Thank you, Echizen tour guide."

Ryoma laughed and took my suitcase: "It's getting late, the tour guide will arrange accommodation for you."

I followed him, curious and cautious: "A hotel? How expensive? How much is it for one night?"

"What are you thinking about?" Ryoma lowered his eyes, it was already dark, and the lights on the side of the road illuminated his amber eyes, "I live in the place where I train."

I:"……"

I said weakly: "Really? What about your teammates?"

"Single room."

I instantly compromised: "Okay."

I looked around and grabbed Ryoma's clothes: "It feels like it's all capitalized, so I'm not used to it..."

The name of the shop is all capitalized. I don't have that sensitivity. I need to convert it to lowercase and translate it again.

Ryoma raised his hand and grabbed my wrist, pulling me closer to him: "There is also one with capital letters."

As soon as he finished speaking, I saw a store with capital letters, but I really didn't know what it was selling just by the name of the store.

Soon I arrived in front of a building. I looked up and couldn't see the end of the building: "Is this the training place?"

Ryoma: "Just live."

Entering the elevator, Ryoma's hand slid down from my wrist and held my palm.

A tall, blond, blue-eyed man came in on the second floor. When he saw Ryoma, he smiled naively and said hello.

Ryoma replied briefly in English, and the man's eyes looked at me, twinkling with gossip and excitement.

I choked.

calm down.

Ryoma suddenly pinched my palm, his eyes slightly curved under the brim of his hat, and said in Japanese: "Didn't you want to talk to them as soon as you got out of the airport? Don't talk now?"

I swallowed, and barely spoke a few words to him in English.

The man seemed very excited and spoke extremely fast, and I instantly returned to the days when I played back English listening at [-] times the speed.

But later he will involve words that I don't know. At this time, the silent Ryoma will simply repeat his words lightly-replacing awkward words with simpler synonyms.

I can go on and on.

My heart was beating like thunder, nervous and excited.

When he waved down on the eleventh floor and gave Ryoma a mysterious thumbs up at the end, my heart slowed down.

I sighed: "...It's still not the same to really chat with foreigners."

Some even if Ryoma said it, I still can only get a rough idea.

Long Ma laughed and said, "Just listen to it too much."

When I got to the floor, the elevator door opened, and Long Ma dragged me out, stepping on the soft carpet with red and gold edges. There was no one in the corridor, and he used the key to open the room.

The decoration is similar to that of a high-end hotel, with a big bed in the middle, a few seats and small round tables next to it, huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and a beautiful night view outside the window, brightly lit and full of tall buildings.

I leaned on the floor-to-ceiling window to watch the night scene, with the tip of my nose pressed against the glass: "Wow, it's so high!"

Ryoma put the suitcase away, and reluctantly took out his slippers: "Hey, don't go barefoot."

Me: "But the carpet is soft and warm."

Having said that, he put the slippers at my feet and I put them on.

Ding ding ding.

Ryoma bowed his head lightly: "Wait, I'll answer the phone."

Me: "Hmm!"

He went out to answer the phone in another room.

I had seen enough of the night scene, so I wandered around.

This seems to be the place where Ryoma often lives, and many details show this.

It may be close to the training ground, so let's stay for a long time.

I approached a wooden grid embedded in the wall, and there were several medals and trophies on it, not all of them, probably because I didn't have time to get back to the place where his parents lived.

I poked the golden medal.

Icy cold.

At a glance, there are several framed photos next to it.

One is a photo of him with his parents when he was a child, and there is a little boy who is a little older than him—it should be Echizen Ryuya.

I've seen it a few times, it's very similar to Ryoma - but a little different.

There is also a photo of Karubin, who looks so cute, I couldn't help laughing a few times.

The next photo is a photo of me and Ryoma, I am smiling brightly, but Ryoma has a bad face.

...How long have you been shooting?There are only two heads in the photo, and the background occupies very little.

After thinking about it for a while, I recalled that it was the last group photo in the Junior High School Aquarium. I held it up perfunctorily and took a group photo.

... Even if the photo is printed out, it is still framed by the photo frame.

I vaguely remember that when I sent it to him, he was perfunctory mocking the photos.

There are also photos of his father and him, and his mother and him.

I looked for a moment, but found three more of my own.

All singles.

Hmm... Primary school graduation photo, I took it in my school uniform standing next to the graduation ceremony sign at the school gate.

next.

Junior high school graduation photo?

Next…

...a high school graduation photo.

I:"……"

It's like looking back at my entire student life.

"I'm going to the training ground tomorrow morning, and I'll be with you in the afternoon." Ryoma suddenly opened the door, and he took off his baseball cap at random and put it on the round table. He raised his eyes and paused, "What are you looking at?"

I turned around: "Look at the photo."

Ryoma walked up to me, glanced low, saw that I was holding my high school graduation photo in my hand, and chuckled lightly: "So."

"So," I put down the photo frame, I seem to have grown up a lot in the three photos, "...why put the graduation photos? The others look better."

"It's nothing." Ryoma leaned against an empty wooden lattice, opened a bottle of Coke and handed it to me. His dark green hair made his amber color more obvious, and he curled his lips. "I just think it's more interesting."

I:"?"

I happened to be thirsty, so I took a few sips of Coke.

As a result, I drank too quickly and had a bubble belch when I put down the can.

Ryoma laughed, took my Coke and put it aside, and hugged me closely, his face was very close, his tall height could cover me all at once.

...Although, I'm sorry...After the discussion some time ago, I couldn't help but think of going in another direction.

When I was distracted, Ryoma stared at me closely.

Ryoma: "It's very nice here."

Me: "Well..."

Ryoma approached with his head bowed, his dark green hair brushed against my skin.

Ryoma continued: "It's not bad to practice English."

Me: "Well..."

Immediately, I was bitten by his ear, and I was startled, and subconsciously grabbed Ryoma's back clothes.

But he faced me again, the corners of his eyes turned red, "I'm an American."

Me: "Hmm... um? What are you talking about?"

"It means that in the future you can walk on both sides as you like."

My light bulb went on: "Yes."

Ryoma's hand touched my waist, and we got closer, and I could clearly feel the boy's firm and tight body.

"...You are still soft, you don't have regular exercise when you relax during the holidays." Ryoma pressed my stomach.

I paused and looked at his expression: "Do you want to do that kind of thing?"

"..." Ryoma stared at me, and reluctantly said for a while, "No, you just got off the plane, and you are very tired."

I interrupted: "No, I'm not tired, I agree!"

……

Me: "Speaking of which, did you buy the T today? Your motives are impure!"

"... No matter how you look at it, it was prepared for your thoughts. If you don't agree, I won't. If you agree, I'm too lazy to run."

"...Well, well prepared."

…………

I was lying on the soft quilt, and the skin of my legs felt the other party's fluffy hair. It was very itchy, and Ryoma grabbed Ryoma's hair unconsciously, and he didn't respond.

I couldn't help it halfway, let go, and stepped on his shoulder to exert force, Ryoma straightened up from me, the look in the amber eyes made my heart skip a beat, and fresh teeth marks appeared on my legs , several add up to a slow upward trend.

The floor-to-ceiling windows stared blankly at me. Ryoma couldn't see it, but I could see it when I lay down.

So I looked at him and said as usual: "...close the curtains, the floor-to-ceiling windows are too big and I feel very unsafe!"
