fall in love with Echizen

After I finished my drink, I got out of bed and went to my room. Ryoma took the empty soda can: "Don't you have a room card?"

I stopped putting on my slippers: "...I believe Yui is back now."

Ryoma laughed behind his back: "Oh."

I put on my slippers slowly, "Let's go first." I put my hand on the doorknob and pressed it down...no?

I clicked a few more times.

Ryoma's calm voice came over: "It's locked."

Me: "Oh."

I twist the lock, press the handle and it opens easily.

I said again: "Then I'll go first."

Long Ma paused before saying, "Yes."

Without looking back at him, I went back to my room and knocked on the door.

As expected, the door opened, Yui dried her hair, saw me worried and asked, "Ewha, are you alright?"

I smiled and said, "No, it's okay, it's okay."

Yui exhaled: "That's good. That's right! What are we going to play tomorrow!"

I lay down on the bed, buried my head in the pillow, and tried to think about it: "Maybe it's... a barbecue? You're free in the morning, and there seems to be a barbecue place on the beach in the afternoon. Let's go together."

"Ah, I remembered, I almost forgot about the itinerary... I had a lot of fun today." Yui smiled embarrassedly.

Me: "...you had so much fun with Yixiang-kun."

Yui hummed shyly and softly: "But I thought I would play with seniors I didn't know. I didn't expect it to be unnecessary hahahaha."

Me: "Because Kaidou-senpai and Kikumaru-senpai are training. They won't be with us."

Senior Fuer is definitely very discerning, and he won't interfere with couples...

Yui lay on the bed and looked at me: "Where is Rika, has the relationship with Echizen-kun made a breakthrough?"

Me: "...Ah? What breakthrough?"

What breakthrough does this need?

Yui: "It's just that I understand and like it better!"

"..." I said vaguely, "I guess..."

No, I haven't thought of any of this at all.

At night, Yui and I chatted for a while before turning off the light and going to bed. I am too tired today.

I fell asleep almost as soon as I closed my eyes.

After a dreamless night, when I woke up, I fumbled for my phone on the bedside table and clicked on the screen to see it.

— 10:35.

Well, missed the free time.I thought calmly.

Yui has disappeared, and she sent me a message in advance.

7:30

[Yui: Rika, I'll go for a walk with Yixiang-kun first! ]

[Yui: Maomao is shy.jpg]

I lay on the pillow and squinted.

...It's actually 07:30... Are the power of this couple so powerful?

Then there was a message from Ryoma.

8:00

[Ryoma: Get up. ]

[Ryoma: It seems not. ]

[Ryoma: How often do you get up? ]

8:30

[Ryoma: You didn't eat breakfast? ]

9:00

[Ryoma: Get up and send a message. ]

I:"………"

Sorry, if there is nothing to do during the holidays, no matter how early I go to bed, I will miss breakfast.

I got up to wash up, and messaged Yui by the way.

[Ewha: I'm done walking, after lunch, go to barbecue at [-]:[-] p.m.! ]

[Yuki: Good! ]

Give it back to Ryoma.

[Ewha: I've woken up, what's the matter. ]

[Pear Blossom: Memorial to Cats and Cats.jpg]

Ryoma returned quickly.

[Ryoma: Hall, eat. ]

[Ryoma: Cats and Cats Memorial.jpg]

I brushed my teeth slowly: "..."

This person not only stole my emoji pack, but didn't save it, just took the ready-made one.

I quickly washed up, changed into light clothes, and went downstairs.

There were very few people in the cafeteria in the lobby, because it was only eleven o'clock, and it was time for lunch, but not yet.

When I entered, Ryoma was sitting on a chair with his chin propped up, looking down at something.

I approached: "What are you looking at?"

Pull out the chair and sit down: "What do you eat?"

The dark green-haired boy looked up and said expressionlessly, "Do you want to have breakfast and lunch together?"

"..." I was inexplicably guilty for a moment, "Well... it's just today!"

Seeing that Ryoma had something to say, I hurriedly changed the topic: "What about Senior Fuji and the others?"

Long Ma paused: "Senior Haitang went to exercise a long time ago, Senior Fuji and the others went out. Senior Yinger...you are still sleeping."

I was shocked: "Senior Haitang is so amazing...!"

"..." Ryoma didn't speak, looked down at the beach's introduction sheet, and I said a few more words: "And I heard that senior Kaitang has always been like this. It's really amazing, no wonder he plays tennis so well."

After hearing this, Ryoma still lowered his eyes and didn't look at me. He said calmly, "I went to the nearby tennis court for a long time in the morning before you got up."

I smiled: "No way... I actually like to sleep late..."

Long Ma frowned unobtrusively, but still said in a sarcastic tone: "You can tell this kind of thing at a glance."

I calmed down, planning to wait for Senior Fuji and the others to come back to eat together.

Ryoma turned to the next page, tapped his fingers on the table, and closed it suddenly.

I reacted slowly and he seemed a little unhappy again.

He didn't speak, he lowered his head, his dark green hair covered his ears, his amber eyes were half covered by long eyelashes, and he had a signature indifference.

I quickly recalled all the conversations just now, and expertly found the point where Ryoma was unhappy.

It stands to reason that it doesn't matter if I don't care about such small things, anyway, Ryoma will still talk to me later, and continue to get along in the same way as before.

But coaxing is better...

I'm done remembering.

Oh...wrong point.

- "I went to the nearby tennis court for a long time in the morning before you got up."

I thought about it, and imitated Ryoma and propped his chin up, but he had one hand and I had two hands.

I stared at him: "Did you play tennis this morning, Ryoma?"

Looking over, Ryoma didn't seem to want to admit it, so he asked me, "What's wrong?"

I said directly: "It's amazing. It's one thing to love, but it's another to work hard for the love. The latter is amazing."

"..." Ryoma was silent for a moment, then pretended to be calm and said, "It's nothing. I don't want people to praise me for my practice."

Me: "It's incidental. What does it matter?"

He stopped talking again, and I saw that Ryoma pursed his lips and laid down on the table without the embarrassment just now: "Senior Fuji, how long did it take for them to come—"

"Ask if you don't know."

**

The ending is that Fuji-senpai and the others come back, and Kikumaru-senpai is forcibly pulled out of the bed by Kaidou-senpai to eat.

After we had dinner together, we went back to our respective rooms to rest, and at three o'clock we went to the barbecue place.

"Don't—you'll die! You'll definitely die! I can't even lift my arms!" Eiji Kikumaru hugged a tree next to the barbecue stand and refused to let go.

Kaitang Kaoru grabbed his back collar: "You said you wanted to train together. You didn't go in the morning."

Kikumaru Eiji: "Don't you want to eat delicious barbecue!"

Kaitang Kaoru: "No, I'll go if you don't."

Kaido Kaoru let go, and walked deep into the woods on his own, Kikumaru Eiji hesitated, and loosened his grip on the tree.

I stood by the grill and watched.

Ryoma was flipping over the meat on the grill, and sneered, "Isn't it okay, Eiji-senpai?"

"Huh!? Who said I can't do it! I can!" Eiji Kikumaru, who was hesitating at first, ran over immediately, "Wait for me Kaitang!"

I watched silently: "...It can be seen from this that a good step is necessary."

Ryoma snorted from the throat, and turned the grill over by the way.

I watched him bake: "Don't bake it for too long."

Ryoma: "I don't need you to tell me."

I sprinkled salt and paprika on top.

Fuji Zhousuke calmly grilled on the other side, and said with a smile, "It's really delicious."

Yuta is also adding dishes: "The combination of elemental dishes will do."

Yui is beside Isho-kun: "Isho-kun is awesome!"

Hiyama Kazuto blushed and scratched his head: "Not really... just baked at home often..."

Yui: "That's great too!"

Then Yixiang continued to falter and refute with a red face.

I stared at it for a while, then turned to look at Ryoma, who was very serious about roasting.

I suddenly said to him: "Ryoma, you are amazing!"

Ryoma glanced at me and smiled, "Of course."

Accepted very confidently.

I:"……"

It would be awkward to be praised at noon, boys are really difficult to understand, no, it should be Ryoma who is really difficult to understand.

But I thought about it and figured it out. Sometimes I forgot to praise him, and Ryoma would secretly ask for the compliment. If I praised him, maybe Ryoma would react and be ashamed of his veiled reminder just now.

Not ashamed of my boast, but ashamed of his motives.

It will be awkward.

When I praised him spontaneously, he would not be like this, and even responded with a proud face and no guilt.

Hey……

I sighed, and Ryoma gave me a strange look: "What are you doing?"

There was smoke floating up, hazy.

Me: "I just feel like I've been forced to know a lot of weird stuff."

"?" Ryoma said, "Go get the meat when you are free."

Me: "Oh."

After baking for a day, I was full.

The one who roasts is the dragon horse, and the one who eats it is me.

Occasionally I would open my mouth: "You feed me, ah——"

"...If you want to be fed, don't make ah—— sound, just open your mouth." Ryoma pursed his lips, stretched the meat to my mouth, and I ate it in one bite.

I agreed: "Okay."

During the period, he also started a competition with Yu Tai-kun for no reason, who could bake better...

The best seniors just go to the theater.

Can't figure it out, but the only good thing is that I'm full.

So much so that I sat on the bus back home and touched my stomach.

Longma let me lean on him, bowed his head: "I told you to go for a walk to digest food before getting in the car."

I said lazily: "But then it will be too late... Forget it, it will be better tomorrow anyway."

I hugged him, resting my head near Ryoma's collarbone, Ryoma hesitated for a few seconds, and pressed my shoulder.

I made it through, but the car was wobbly and I was sleepy again.Kikumaru-senpai and Kaidou-senpai have long been sleeping in the back seat.

I close my eyes.

A voice came from above his head in a daze.

"Go to sleep."

I gradually fell into a deep sleep.

…………

Back to school, every day is studying, eating on the rooftop, studying, club activities, and going home with Ryoma.

Four points and one line, repeated every day.

A student's day can be monotonous but can be fun at times.

For example, Fukao Yuta sometimes insisted on drawing a magic circle on the blackboard, and was taught a lesson by the teacher. After the lesson, he was punished for giving up the title of "Dark Flame Maker" for a week.

So that week, Mrs. Fu 樫 was in darkness.

"...How come...I don't have this title...What am I? Damn it! I'm sorry for my companion..."

He said so.

For example, Nozaki-kun's painting skills have reached a new level, and he is trying to draw short stories.

"I'll try to submit a feature-length essay in high school."

Well, very planned.

In my words, I am now in a learning hell.

At the end of the term, I have to maintain my ranking and ensure that I have a place in a series of competitions in the next semester.

Ryoma went to a training camp for a few weeks, and when he came back, he seemed a little taller.

The last time I ate and took a nap on the rooftop, I put down the bento after eating: "You are going to participate in the national competition after the training camp, right?"

Ryoma hummed indifferently, looked at me, narrowed his cat pupils, and said in a provocative tone, "Don't lose the chain at the end of the semester."

Me: "No way."

I hesitated: "But... because I have to participate in learning activities, I may not be able to go to the previous competition."

"It doesn't matter." Ryoma said indifferently, "You just need to come for the last match."

He hooked his lips and chuckled: "Look at us winning."

I breathed a sigh of relief and laughed along with him: "Okay."

**

"The last match, if I'm not mistaken, is Kazuli Kaida." Nozaki Umetaro rubbed his chin.

Yui worried: "I remember their minister is very famous, is... the son of God?"

Umetaro Nozaki: "Seiichi Yukimura. Ah...another theme."

I paused: "Look at Ryoma and the others..."

Without further ado, I bowed my head and continued writing the questions.

The teacher also talked to me.

——"Hino-san, do you know that your grades that were only a few points away from Akashi-san last time are also very good?"

——"Not only mathematics, but I hope your English will also improve. It is easy to memorize vocabulary in middle school English. I suggest you memorize vocabulary well first."

Really... the atmosphere at the end of the semester is getting stronger.

I no longer sleep in on weekends, and my efficiency of reciting words in the morning is the fastest.

I didn't go to the rooftop again at noon, and went to the cafeteria to solve it.

Ryoma also entered the state of preparation, staying on the tennis court all day, playing against seniors, and constantly improving.

Listening to what he said recently... what seamless moves do you want to learn?

I didn't pay attention to it once I listened to it. It is a big project to review my notes as soon as possible.

Although I will write it down between class and get out of class, and I am sure of the mastery, but the overall review at the last moment is also very important.

The end of the term is approaching.

The national finals are approaching.

**

On the weekend morning, at home, I finally finished my review, took a long breath, and had a headache.

Tomorrow is Ryoma's finals... I have to go to bed early.

I just closed the notebook when the phone rang.

I picked it up, but it was Ryoma who I felt I hadn't contacted for a long time.

Although I will say good night every day... but I don't have time to talk much... At first glance, it seems that his name has not been contacted for a long time.

Are you nervous about the game tomorrow?

I connected: "Hello."

"Hello...you, hello." Ryoma's voice was on the opposite side, but the tone was so soft that it was harmless to humans and animals. I almost thought that I was being tricked for a moment.

I frowned: "Why?"

The other party seemed to be frightened by my tone, and said in a panic: "No, it's nothing! I just saw you in the address book... I just wanted to make a call..."

This pure language attitude.

Who are you?

I:"?"

Me: "Ryoma, are you out of your mind?"

"You really know me!" The other party was pleasantly surprised, "Actually... something happened to me, there is an uncle who claims to be my father, let me tell you, I checked the address book, or give you called..."

I:"……"

To be honest, he seems like a really innocent boy, not the dragon horse that was dragged to the sky in the past at all.

The feeling of changing from a proud cat to a soft milk cat.

etc--

I squeezed out a few words between my teeth: "... Amnesia? Are you kidding me?"

"No, no... Ah, that's okay. You are amazing." Ryoma said, laughing again, and the brisk laughter entered my ears, making me doubt life.

Ryoma: "Although the note is stupid, you are not stupid at all. What's your name?"

Me: "...??? My name is Dagu."
