After being "kidnapped" once, Nanako not only has someone to pick her up every day when she leaves school, but also has to wait until the person who picked her up today arrives at the school gate before leaving school if she receives a message.Several months passed safely, until the end of the summer vacation and the beginning of a new semester, she did not meet any strange people again.

October is about to come again. In Japan, the second Monday of October every year is the annual 【Sportsの日】. Many elementary schools set their sports meeting at this time, and Shengye Elementary School is no exception. Just entering October, the first consecutive Monday and Tuesday are the days for the sports meeting. The first day is for various competitions, such as sprint, long jump, medicine ball and other events, as well as team relay races. Various fun activities.

"Okay—then the teacher will send out the registration form, and everyone will fill in the project they want to participate in! After filling it out, hand it to the students of Sanwa. Please collect all the students of Sanwa and bring it to the teacher in the office." Standing on the podium table, Mr. Koizumi clapped his hands and handed out a pile of registration forms on the table.

The get out of class bell rang, and the morning meeting was over. As Mr. Koizumi left the classroom, a group of Xiaodouding in the class immediately started making noise, talking about the projects they wanted to participate in.The first-grade students do not participate in the sports meeting. In addition, there are small activities such as "folding clothes competition" prepared for them, so this is the first time for them to participate in the sports meeting.

Like most schools in Japan, at the beginning of the new school year, Shengye Elementary School will break up the students in one grade and regroup them, so that when they graduate, most of the students can basically know the classmates of the whole grade. Especially in Shengye Primary School where there are only two classes in each grade, and each class has only [-] to [-] students, most of the students are already familiar with their classmates in the same grade when they are in the third and fourth grades.

After being promoted to the second grade, Nanako and Miwa were assigned to the same class again. The head teacher was still Teacher Koizumi, and even the class was still the monthly group. She couldn't remember the names and faces of most of the people in the class clearly. So even though the class was disrupted and reorganized, she didn't feel any change, it was just that the classroom was changed to the second grade classroom upstairs.

Sitting at Nanako's back table, Miwa filled out the form in a hurry, ticking off several items in a row.She is very good at sports, and she is particularly tall among her peers. She also trains on the basketball team every day. Although she is only in the second grade, her sports performance is even better than many students in the third and fourth grades.

In the last semester, Sanlun was already an alternate member of the basketball team. During the summer vacation, she joined the school's basketball team for the first time to participate in a game. She scored a goal on the first play. The coach said that when she was in the third grade, she would Make her an official team member, and then you can participate in the competition and get the bonus from the school.Most of the official team members are students in the fourth and fifth grades, but they performed very well in the third round, so she can be promoted in advance.

Holy Night College has a lot of money and wealth. Not only will they receive bonuses if they participate in external competitions, but even if it is just a sports meeting, there will be various rewards for winning No.1. Three rounds keep in mind the purpose of coming here to study, so that you can earn more Earn more money for less money.

She filled out the registration form, poked her good friend Nanako at the front desk, and asked, "Nanako, do you want to participate in the competition?"

Holding the pencil sharpener in her hand, Nanako was sharpening the pencil slowly, while turning her head, shaking her head at her, with her little head hanging down, staring intently at the pencil she was sharpening in her hand, for fear of turning the refill broken.

I don’t know why, but Japanese elementary schools seem to prohibit the use of mechanical pencils, but Nanako always has to write a lot of things, homework, notes, or take her small notebook to silently write classical Chinese for review, so she always Be busy sharpening pencils.

Nanako doesn't want to participate in the sports meeting. She is still very short. After entering the second grade, she is still the shortest little radish in the class. When standing with Miwa, she is like an older sister with a little sister , she stumbled every time she took physical education class, and barely passed the school year test in the first grade.I can't run fast, jump high, and have very little strength, and I can only take part in the competition.

But even if they don't participate in the competition, everyone must participate in at least two fun activities, so Sanlun asked her again: "Then what activities do you want to participate in?"

Nanako looked at the pile of activities listed on the registration form. Although it was said to be "fun activities", it seemed that most of them were tiring activities involving running and jumping.Horseback riding and ball throwing are both dangerous. A little radish like her will definitely be knocked down immediately. She has no energy for activities like tug-of-war. She looked at one by one, and finally saw one that seemed simpler. activity.

【Father and child with three legs】

It is a parent-child activity, as long as it is a "family", no matter whether it is parents or grandparents, Nanako thought about it, grabbed the sharpened pencil, and ticked the box corresponding to this item.

"This." She picked up the registration form and showed it to Sanlun.

Three-wheeled probe looked at the event she was pointing at. Although there was a race between two people and three legs, since it was a "parent-child activity", Nanako had parents to take care of her, so there should be nothing to worry about.Nanako is as short as a kindergarten kid, and fun activities are always chaotic, Miwa is a little afraid that Nanako will be knocked down.

She thought about it, and then suggested to Nanako: "Another activity, do you want to participate in the 'Borrowing Run'? This is simpler, I will participate with you, and then we can help each other borrow things, and the Borrowing Run is divided Yes, we don't all get together."

Nanako felt that her suggestion was very reasonable, so she also ticked the box of [Borrowing things to run], and neatly wrote down [Second Year Group], [Edogawa ナナコ] on the registration form. , Handed over the registration form to Miwa as the sports committee member.

********

Two people with three legs, and borrowed things to run.

To be honest, Nanako has never played any of these two activities. After all, in China, this kind of event probably only appears in kindergarten sports meetings—no, "borrowing objects" probably will not appear, after all, except for Japanese comic novels In addition, Nanako seems to have never seen this word in other places, maybe this is a small game with Japanese characteristics.

Borrowing items does not require special practice. It is just a very ordinary start from the starting point, draw lots halfway, then find someone to borrow the items on the lottery, and then bring it to the end. Nanako didn't take it too seriously, but the two The three legs still need to be practiced a little bit. Although she has no intention of winning the ranking, Nanako doesn't really want to fall one after another during the competition, so after returning to the detective agency after school, she and Gogol wrote today's story separately. After finishing homework, I packed my schoolbag and said to Gogol:

"Guoguoli."

"Ok?"

"Training today."

She said sternly, her expressionless little face looked very serious, as if she was talking about something important, even the wording was very formal, using something like [training]...

[...Did I use the wrong word? 】

Nanako raised her short hand and scratched her messy hair, thinking a little uncertainly in her heart.

She thought about it seriously, then changed a word, and said to Gogol: "Today, practice."

Not paying attention to Nanako's change of words, Gogol put his hands on the stool, stood on tiptoes, and asked with his body dangling, "What are you practicing?"

Nanako worked hard to organize the sentences, and explained to Gogol what a "sports meeting" is, and it took a long time to explain to him what kind of activity "two people and three legs" is.

Although she has learned Japanese for almost two years, she still struggles to speak. As long as the words are longer, she has to break them into many short sentences and speak slowly.She is already fluent in reading, writing and listening. As long as she is not a dialect or has words that are not common in daily life, she can basically understand each other's words quickly.

Gogol understood what he was going to do, and immediately showed an excited expression. While he and Xie Ye were not in the infirmary, he stepped on a stool and stole a roll of bandages from the cabinet, stuffed it into his arms, and went with Nanako downstairs.

The entrance of the coffee shop on the first floor was a large open space. Nanako and Gogol sat side by side on a low flower bed by the roadside. They tied their left leg and Gogol's right leg with bandages several times, and wrapped them around the ground. Together, and then tied a crooked bow.

She put the rest of the bandages on the flower bed, stood up with Gogol very carefully, then raised her short legs tied with Gogol, and stomped vigorously on the spot.

Boom, boom,

She was about to stomp the third time when she felt her calf loosen, and the crooked bow came loose. She raised her leg, but before Gogol could lift it, there was a gap between the two short legs, and the bandage came loose. It fell loose and landed on their shoes.

Nanako: "..."

She lowered her short leg and lowered her head to refasten the bandage.

This time I tied it even harder, and the palms of my hands that were pulling the two petals of the bow became red.Nanako stood up, wiped the sweat off her head, took a small breath, then raised her short legs and stomped her feet.

The bow tie fell apart faster than before.

Nanako: "..."

"Guoguoli." Nanako looked down at the bandages scattered on the small leather shoes.

"Huh?" Gogol, who had been watching her movements, responded immediately.

Pointing at the bandage with a finger, Nanako raised her little head, turned to look at him, her little face showed no fluctuation: "This one, tie a knot and tie it up."

With one hand resting on his chin, Gogol thought about it seriously, then bent down, wrapped the bandage, first typed a normal ten-character, and then pulled the two ends of the bandage, stopping for a moment,

Then there was a knot.

"It's tied~!" Gogol said to her with a smile on his face and a high-spirited tone.

Nanako: "..."

She stomped her feet, and the bandage tightly tied her and Gogol's short legs together without loosening at all.

Nanako decided to put the small question of "how to untie it later" to the back of her mind, and at worst wait until she goes to the coffee shop to ask her aunt to borrow the scissors.She stood up straight and said to Gogol who was stuck together, "Say 'one, two, one' and walk like this."

"Okay~" Gogol seemed to understand her meaning completely.

So Nanako said, "One..."

She wanted to take her left leg, but she didn't. At the same time, Gogol had already taken his left leg, but Nanako stopped. He turned his head and tilted his fluffy head, A puzzled smile appeared on his face.

"One, it's this leg." Nanako pointed to their short legs tied together, looked at him with dark eyes, and said with no expression on her face.

Gogol: "Oh!"

He stepped back immediately.

Nanako spoke again: "One... two... Goo,"

The short legs that were tied together stepped out smoothly. She had just finished saying "two", before her right leg fell down and the next word "one", Gogol's other leg had already landed on the ground. At the same time, he raised the leg tied to Nanako.

The right leg was not stable, and the left leg was dragged up. Nanako fell to the ground with a "goo", and fell down with Gogol.

…Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is normal to fail the first time.

Nanako comforted herself in her heart, then got up together with Gogol and started the second attempt.

"One...two—porphyrin,"

"One, two, puff—"

"one two Three--"

"Wait a minute, where is Three?"

"Goo,"

"..."

After falling more than a dozen times in a row, Nanako couldn't even get out of the distance of three meters. Nanako climbed up from the ground covered with paving bricks in disgrace, and had already started planning to ask for leave for the sports meeting.

Gogol walks faster than her, and always jumps and jumps, with very brisk steps. Nanako can't keep up with his steps, and she will fall if she can't keep up.She already felt a little tired, and her knee was bruised.The sun was still a little hot in early October, Nanako wanted to go back to the shade by the flower bed, sit down and rest for a while, but she just stood up unsteadily and found a problem.

She is tied to Gogol.

It is more than two meters away from the flower bed behind, and almost two meters away from the steps at the entrance of the coffee shop in front.

The bandage wrapped around the leg was knotted.

Nanako: "..."

She took out her mobile phone from her pocket and dialed the random number of the detective agency upstairs. After the phone rang twice, she was connected immediately.

"Nanako? What's the matter?" There was a click of random steps biting potato chips from the other end of the phone.

"Daddy," Nanako called.

Ranbu: "Huh?"

Nanako: "I'm at the door of the coffee shop, I can't move, can you bring me a pair of scissors?"

Ranbu: "...what?"

In the detective agency, Luanbu held the phone between his shoulders, stopped picking out potato chips, kicked his feet, let the luxurious office chair under him slide to the window, and then looked downstairs.

His gaze happened to meet Nanako's gaze looking up, and when he saw the chaotic steps poking out his head from the window, Nanako subconsciously wanted to lift her short legs, move back a little, and the next second,

With a snap, she rushed to the street with Gogol beside her.

Upstairs witnessed the whole process of chaotic steps: ...
