Time is like a song

At sunset and dusk, I checked the time and thought it was almost time, so I wiped my eyes, picked up my schoolbag, left the classroom, and walked to the tennis court.When we arrived, the tennis court was still very lively, but the men's tennis activities should be over by the time.I folded my arms and leaned against the fence gate of the tennis court, looking at the children in the middle of the court who were laughing wildly.It is Kirihara Chiya.

"That's this year's freshman, Akaya Kirihara." Senior Nitta Sanae, who was also watching, glanced at me, "It seems to be well-known in the elementary school circle, but it's too arrogant, and I don't know how high it is."

The female squad leader Sayuri Imagawa was also speaking for her head, "Yes, Mr. Hira, elementary school and middle school are not the same thing."

I looked at them, "You are very unskilled in pulling people."

"..."

"..."

"Why is it so noisy? What's going on?" Yukimura Seiichi, who was wearing a coat, led Renji and Sanada out, and he said calmly to the third-year senior who was beaten by Kirihara Chiya and lay on the ground: "Senior, loser gone?"

Yukimura's mouth is really cruel.

I pouted, and continued to watch Kirihara being cut by the trio until he ran away crying.Tsk tsk, bullying a child is useless.

"It's our turn." I put down my schoolbag and brushed my hair together, "Lianji, lend me your racket."

"I'll also let you know that you can't be too arrogant!" Nitta-senpai stood on the opposite court and shouted, pointing at me with her racket.

I twisted my neck and warmed up on my own.

She is the one who can't be too arrogant.

after an hour.

"The match is over," Sayuri Imagawa looked at me as the referee, "Six to three, Hirama Yumi wins."

Nitta Sanae-senpai panted, and with a bang, the racket in her hand fell to the ground.

I tilted my head and wiped my sweat with my sleeve, and returned the racket to Renji.

"Hira Mayumi!" Nitta-senpai shouted, "Why don't you play tennis anymore! If you join the women's tennis, I can give you the minister's seat! We can at least reach the top three in the national competition!"

"Minister!" Sayuri Imagawa hurried over to support Nitta-senpai.

"You guys are boring." I brushed my wet hair again.Really tired.

"You...what are you talking about! Bastard!" Nitta-senpai said angrily.

I pointed to Sanada, who was watching the match, "I fought with him, and he didn't take off the weights on his hands and feet, and he kept his hands. I still lost to him six to three. And you," I glanced at She glanced, "It's been more than a year, but you have only changed from [-] to [-] to [-] to [-]. I don't see any future for such a department."

"That's enough, classmate Ping!" Sayuri Imagawa yelled angrily, "Although the minister lost, it's not your turn to insult us like this! Minister, let's go! We don't need her. You don't have to win in tennis. People like her I don't understand at all!"

"It's this kind of attitude that you will lose." I curled my lips and walked to the side to pick up my schoolbag.

"Mazumi Hira, tell me," Nitta-senpai stood up, "What exactly do you want to say, tell me all at once."

"I didn't say that things other than victory are unimportant," I jumped up and put my schoolbag on my back, "I just don't know if you've noticed that it doesn't matter if you talk about losing. After all, those of us who have worked hard have always lost. That.” I changed the concept of this sentence secretly—how can you say that it doesn’t matter if you lose if you don’t lose?I just want to use this sentence to wake them up, don't indulge too much in the fantasy of self-satisfaction, "What's more, I don't think you are trying your best."

"You're not us, how do you know we didn't try our best!" Sayuri Imagawa was so angry that she was about to cry, and stared at me bitterly.

I pointed at Nitta-senpai's school skirt, "As a challenger, I didn't change my sports uniform, and I didn't notice that I didn't have a racket in my hand. I don't know where you are not serious with your attitude. Don't say it's just a formality." , It is you who said to respect things other than victory. A female tennis player enters the court of her school but does not change her skirt. I really can’t see your respect for the court and the challenged person. No The person who pays attention to the details and only wants to defeat me and win is you, not me, Sanae Nitta."

Nitta-senpai grabbed the school skirt with her hand, so hard that she was about to tear it.

"Also, try your best," I plucked the hair sticking to my neck impatiently, "Miss Nitta-senpai's strength is not enough, you can wear weights like men's tennis. I played tennis for five years in elementary school, except for competitions. I never took off the weight when I was in school. Also, your footwork is the same as when you were in elementary school. It is so monotonous and easy to guess. It shows that you have not put much thought into your footwork. The technique of hitting the ball has improved a lot. , but you don’t have much coordination, you always use the same move in a round. You haven’t thought about tactics, you’re just playing stupidly.” Playing tennis requires brains, senior.

Nitta-senpai's eyes turned red, and some other girls who seemed to be members of the women's tennis team ran into the arena, gathered around Nitta-senpai, and glared at me.

"I like to say that we have worked hard, and then cry together, that is your choice," I turned and left, "I will not accompany you."

I appreciate the solidarity that they can cry and laugh together after working hard, but if they continue like this, there will be no progress.If you want to say "it doesn't matter if you lose", it's not too late to say it after you've worked hard.

To be honest, I'm disappointed in how much Sanae Nitta has improved.He lost to me.

When I went to school the next day, everyone in the class thought I was transparent.Ah, no, the female squad leader in the front seat, Sayuri Imagawa, didn't ignore me──she looked at me as if she was watching to kill her father's enemy.

I shrugged and fell asleep.

"Maumi~" Suddenly, someone outside the window called my name.I poked my head around and saw that it was Haruna Aoki, my former classmate at St. Rose Girls' High School.Even the little white rabbit Yui Oe, Miyu Ogawa from the next class, and others were all at the school gate.

I took out my phone and dialed Haruna Aoki, "Speak."

"Yo~ Mayumi~ don't be so cold~"

"..." I'm not a boy, Hina, you don't have to talk like that.

"Come down quickly, we skipped the whole class today, just waiting for you to come out and play together~"

"Be careful of being scolded to death by a witch with a bun."

"Oh~ Whatever~ Come down quickly."

"No." I want to sleep.

"Then we won't leave at your school gate~"

"...Wait."

The result of being too nice to them will be threatened.

When I picked up my schoolbag and was about to leave, Sayuri Imagawa sneered, "Mud won't support the wall."

I glanced at her, "It's you who can't support the wall, Sister Huya."

"you!"

I ignored her and walked away.Aoki Haruna and the others really have a way, they even found a motorcycle.I really want to call the police, say that they are underage motorcyclists, and then drag them all to jail—then no one will drag me to sing karaoke and not let them go.The singing was so bad that I couldn't fall asleep even if I covered my ears.I don't understand what they have to sing about. With their appearance, they won't become singers until they lose their voice.

"Masumi," Ogawa Miyu leaned over and whispered, "I haven't thanked you yet. Thank you for protecting me from stealing test questions last time."

"Loveless." I glanced at her.

"Yes~you can say whatever you want~" Miyu Ogawa kept rubbing against me.

"Go away, it stinks."

"... Hira Mayumi! That's my new perfume! It stinks!"

In the evening they sent me home, I washed and went straight to sleep.When the phone rang the next day, I just hung up.I'm sleepy and don't have the energy to go to school.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" But after a while, my window was knocked up vigorously.I couldn't block those noises even when I was huddled under the quilt, so I simply lifted the quilt, got up and opened the window.

"You are sick, aren't you Liu Lianer?" I knew it would be him who would knock on my window.For the time being, I have only brought him into my room, and it is impossible for others to knock on my window so accurately.Living on the ground floor is such a hassle.

"You are the one who is sick, go and change for me to go to school."

"don't want."

He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, "I won't ask you about what happened to you yesterday, but you have to go to school today."

"It's none of your business, Sunhead."

"Hira Shinumi!"

"It's annoying, no one wants you to care about me, and you are not mine." I closed the window and retreated into the bed to sleep.

The window was not knocked again.

I slept until after six o'clock in the afternoon, but when I walked out of the room to look for food, I saw Yukimura Seiichi and Sanada Genichiro.They were actually talking to my grandparents.Speaking of it, it is strange enough that I will see my grandparents. These two old people always see the head and see the end.

"Maumi," Yukimura greeted me with a smile, "We ran into two elderly people outside and we started chatting. I didn't expect it to be your grandparents. They are really nice people, and their conversation is generous and decent."

"..." It's a coincidence that the ghost believes you.Also, I don't remember when I got to know him well enough to call him by name, obviously I only knew him for half a month.You came to my house to speak stably at me, I really want to throw you out of the gate.

"You young people talk slowly." The grandparents calmly and quickly exited.

"Speak." I sat on the sofa and looked at the two of them.

"Don't say you forgot what you did to Liu." Yukimura said flatly.

"It has nothing to do with you."

"Isn't it okay even if Liu is unhappy? Ping, you have to be a bit measured in your words. It's not always possible for people to understand what you mean."

"I'll say it again, it has nothing to do with you. It's better to leave."

Yukimura smiled and said, "Sanada."

Sanada came over and put me on his shoulders.

"Hey! You!" He was so strong that I couldn't break free, but my grandparents just didn't show up.

"It's an honor to hear that Hira-san is no longer like a machine." Yukimura bent down and smiled at me, who was upside down because of being carried by Sanada, "It turns out that Hira-san can scream too. "

"……"demon.He is a demon leader ten times more powerful than Xiao Lianzi.

They carried me out of the house directly, ignoring the looks of passers-by along the way.When I was carrying it to a street tennis court, Sanada threw me to the ground very rudely.It hurts.

"What do you want, tell me clearly." I stumbled to my feet, "Because of what Lian Er said, I will apologize to him myself, and you don't need to bother."

"Fight one game." Sanada said, "You fight me once, if you lose, you will change all your ridiculous behavior!"

"No. I will definitely lose, this agreement is not fair."

"Ping-san," Yukimura looked at me leisurely, "Didn't you agree to compete with Nitta-senpai just because you were sure you would win?"

"..." Help, I know I'm wrong, please hurry up and save me from the devil's hand.

"Mayumi!" Renji appeared at the entrance with a tennis bag on his back.

"Pira-san," Yukimura whispered next to me, "What did you just say?"

"..." I glanced at him, then looked at Lian Er who was running over worriedly, paused, I bent down to Lian [-] degrees, "I haven't woken up this morning, I'm sorry to say I'm sorry for saying that."

After waiting for a while, Lian Er who stopped in front of me helped me up, "Okay, I know if you did it on purpose."

Lian Er, so I misunderstood you when I was young.You are actually an angel.

"However," Lianji smiled slightly, "It's true that Mayumi not only contradicted her seniors in public, but also skipped classes from the main entrance of the school arrogantly, and fled for two days. Ah, and also, the female monitor of your class seems to let You cried in anger. Yes, after one night, you still smell of alcohol and tobacco on your body now. Mayumi seems to have become very powerful." Lianji smiled slightly, "I heard that you still drive a motorcycle ?”

No, Lian Er is actually a devil.Judging from those words, it was almost as if he wanted to pierce my heart with ten thousand arrows.

"...It's not me, I haven't smoked or drunk, and it's not me who drives the car."

"Really? I think so, if you become addicted to cigarettes and alcohol and are forced to buy them frequently, you will definitely get annoyed."

"It's okay, okay!" I was mad, "I really didn't! I swear to God that I didn't drink or smoke! Lian Ji should stop being snarky!"

Lian Er froze for a moment, then patted my head with one hand, "How many times have I told you not to call me Lian Ji!"

"Okay," Yukimura said with a smile, "it's fine if you're fine. I believe in Hira-san's words, so there's no need for Liu to worry."

I glared at Yukimura.It's the first time I've been tricked to the point of madness, so it's hard on you.

I pouted, "Goddess."

"Sanada," Yukimura glanced at me and folded his arms, "Didn't you say you wanted to fight with Hira-san?"

"Don't." I pulled Lalian Er's sleeve.

Renji tilted his head and looked at me, "Masumi, why don't you want to play tennis?"

"No fun."

"Why is it not interesting?"

"It's just a formula of hard work and talent. If you can win but you haven't, you just need to work harder;

"Where are so many nonsense?" Sanada frowned and threw a racket that seemed to fit my hand to me, "Let's talk about it after the fight! How will you know the result if you don't hit me?"

I glanced at him, "You clearly know you're going to beat me."

"..."

"Well," said Yukimura, "one point. If Hira-san can win a game under the serious Sanada, then you will win. If you lose, Hira-san will promise us to change your bad habits. .”

I turned to Lian Er, "The relationship between you and them is very suspicious." Obviously, it is only because of Lian Er that they control me, do they need to entangle me to this extent?

Renji patted my head, "Masumi, let's go."

Ok.

I exhaled and nodded.Lian Er was so angry today that he had to give him face.

I tied up my hair, carefully warmed up, and stood in front of Sanada in an orderly manner.

"I am Hira Mayumi, please give me your advice."
