[Free! ] Midsummer's annual rings

I'm very envious of Yao's position in his heart, but Niu Niao wants to see it again, that young man is bright and bright, no less than any sunny smile.

The two walked one after the other for a long time, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and it became more and more remote.

When Niatori raised his head, he was already in front of an abandoned factory.Rin seemed to be very familiar with this area, he found the stairs and went up, Bi Niao was stunned, and hurriedly followed.

The two still kept a distance of three or four meters, until Rin stopped in front of a high platform, from where you can see a blue sea, the scenery is very beautiful.

The sea breeze was blowing their hair, carrying the breath of the sea, and the calm and vast sea seemed to be able to tolerate and resolve no matter what emotions they had.

"I used to come here alone..." Rin suddenly said.

Si Niao didn't speak, just stopped two meters away from him, quietly watching his back.

Rin continued: "It didn't stop working here before, my father brought me here, and before he passed away, I often brought Jiang here without telling my mother, because here you can see the most beautiful sea..."

"But ever since the most beautiful sea took his life in peace, I have been afraid of this place... I even felt scared when I saw the sea for a while, but the more I was afraid, the more I wanted to overcome it, thinking No matter what, you can't lose..."

As he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller.

"But, I lost time and time again..." Losing to myself, losing to Yao, losing to many people..." Just seeing their previous games, I suddenly realized that it seems that winning or losing is not the only absolute thing Yes, but only this time...

I can't let go, I must beat them well and beautifully in the relay race. "He wanted to prove to them that he...

Hearing his hoarse voice, Si Niao suddenly wanted to reach out and hug him, but he didn't dare, and there was no reason, so he could only stand quietly and listen to his intermittent narration.

Not long after, there was a long silence, only the sound of waves lapping on the shore remained in Bird's ears.

"No matter what, Senior Matsuoka will always be my hero..."

After seeing Rin's somewhat surprised expression, Nitori realized that he had spoken out his thoughts, and immediately his face was a little bloodshot, and his eyes blinked a little bit erratically.But this time he didn't turn his eyes away, and with a blushing face, he added in a low voice: "Senior Songgang is my idol, and in my heart, you will always be number one."

Seemingly surprised by his words, Rin looked at him in a daze, with an unnatural expression on his face.However, he returned to his usual state at the beginning, and he sighed a little: "Si Niao, you are really an idiot..."

"..." Well, an idiot is an idiot.

Nitori seems to be used to Rin calling him this way, and he even feels that if the title of idiot comes from the mouth of senior Shan Songgang, it will be different.

"Then, just now, why did Senior Songgang..." Why are you so angry?

Realizing what he was asking, the happy appearance of the few of them together flashed through his mind, Rin's expression changed, and he shook his head, "I was just..."

"Senior Matsuoka...do you feel lonely?" Niiao said while looking into his eyes.

alone?

Rin suddenly smiled, with a lonely expression on his face, "Maybe... a little bit..." Looking at them, thinking of himself alone, it was as if he had been abandoned.

"Predecessors, seniors, and us!"

Seeing his lonely look, Niu Niao didn't know where the courage came from, and suddenly grabbed his hand, "I, we can also swim the best relay race with Senior Songgang, even better than them match."

And they...

Lin stared blankly at him. It was the first time he saw the bird-like eyes clearly. They were not blue or pure blue, but a mint green mixed with light gray. It was so beautiful that he forgot for a moment what he wanted to see. the words said.

Yes, there are also birds like them...

Before finally leaving here, Rin suddenly said: "I heard, Miko Chai asked you something."

The sea breeze was blowing his gorgeous hair, and the sunlight made his face more handsome. The depression that appeared on his face before was like a bird-like hallucination.He didn't start by saying: "The reason why I didn't join the swimming team when I came back, I will tell you after the meeting is over."

tell... yourself?

Niiao stared blankly at his idol, his face that had just calmed down quickly turned red again, but this time it was because of excitement!

"Yeah, then, let's cheer together!"

Looking at Nitori's face that immediately became excited because of his response, Rin's eyes also lit up, and he whispered: "Well, let's work together."

After returning, because the two of them left without authorization midway, they were "educated" by Shenjing very rudely. He had a "gentle" smile on his face, but Lingchi caught in the language made Niiao feel that he was Pi Du was scolded all over the place by him.

When he went to change clothes and prepare to go into the water, he was scolded by Rin next to him.

Injured and not knowing timely treatment, in this critical period, even a small place may affect the performance of the game that day.

Listening to his stern face and non-stop uttering bad words, Niiao felt that it was the first time that he liked being scolded so much, because Senior Songgang actually cared about him.

Ahhh, it's amazing, obviously he was also scolded, but compared to Senior Shenjing, being scolded by Senior Songgang feels so much happier.

But when Rin remembered that the injury on his knee was actually caused by himself, he even went to the medicine box to help him apply the medicine himself.

When Rin squatted down in front of him, Niu Niao suddenly didn't know where to put his hands and feet, it was like the emperor kneeling down like an eunuch!

So Nitori just looked at him flattered, with a look of 'if it's a dream, please don't wake me up'.

Looking at him like that, Rin couldn't help but cursed "Idiot" again in a low voice.

Although it still looked fierce, the movements of his hands were unexpectedly gentle, as if he had been poured a few mouthfuls of honey, he completely forgot about the wound, and he didn't even notice that the wound was directly drenched with alcohol. It hurts.

But after that, Rin was suddenly found out by Miko Chai, and when he came back, his face was even worse than when he came out of Ganju.

Niao Niao followed up worriedly, but he refused.

He suddenly remembered the look in the eyes of Senior Song Gang when he came out of the griffon, but at this moment, besides loneliness, he also had a trace of sadness and sadness, why?

*******

In the morning of the next day, a group of people from the Swimming Club of Sagara assembled on the playground with their luggage on their backs. The school will pick them up by a special car. There are many boys and girls of all grades and cheerleaders around.

Tomorrow is the capital meeting, and they, like other schools, have to go there one day in advance to prepare.

All exercises, all results, will be accepted there.

Niao Niao looked at the retrograde scene outside the window with joy, and then looked at it, and couldn't help sliding his eyes to Rin next to him. He was still expressionless and cold, and his conspicuous red eyes reflected the outside world. The light is as dazzling as a jewel.

At this time, Nitori had completely forgotten to look at the scenery, and just remembered staring at him blankly, until Rin glared at him impatiently, and then immediately looked back with a blushing face.

It's very prosperous there, and it's completely like 'cars and horses are like a dragon'.

At the station, they met many teenagers their age wearing all kinds of sportswear.The annual Metropolitan Conference attracts many schools from all over the country to participate. Seeing all the high-spirited teenagers, Niao Niao suddenly starts to get nervous. So, there must be many strong competitors...

When he got to the hotel he had booked, Niiao thought he had misjudged the person, but...

The handsome boy with a gentle smile on the opposite side and the handsome boy with facial paralysis following him, aren't they Ganju's Makoto and Haruka?

I really have to say that the two schools are really destined to each other, and they can even book a hotel that happens to be opposite.Just as he was about to follow the team in, Makoto seemed to see him and immediately greeted him with a smile.

He wanted to ask Senior Matsuoka to go there with him, now that Senior Nanase is here, maybe the two of them will chat about tomorrow's game or something.

It's a pity that Rin left without even looking at it.

Nisori worriedly looked at the sluggish back, he didn't understand, what happened to Senior Matsuoka, he was very gentle yesterday to help him with the medicine, and then...ah, yes, Minister Mikoshiba called Senior Matsuoka , Could it be that the minister said something to Senior Matsuoka?

*******

"Dismissed?!"

Nisari looked at Minister Mikoshiba in disbelief, and found it difficult to digest this sentence.

He knew that Senior Songgang didn't say anything, but he valued this relay race very much. It was the best opportunity for Senior Songgang to open up the knot with his former companions!

However, the minister's decision seems to be correct. Senior Matsuoka's strength can be better displayed in the singles competition, but...

Thinking of his lonely expression, Niao Niao felt a throbbing pain in his heart. Could it be that this time, is he going to pass by like this again?

But Senior Matsuoka seems to really want to go back there again...

Back in the room, I saw Rin lying on the bed with his back turned to him, his back was indescribably lonely.For the first time, Niiao felt that he was really stupid, and he couldn't even think of some words of comfort, and he was even more frustrated, because besides being unable to help him, he could not share his pain.

In the bright morning of the next day, with the sound of the whistle, they finally ushered in the opening of the Metropolitan Assembly.

Nitori has been following Rin closely, and seems to have a lot to say, but he knows he can't say it. At this time, he can't say anything, or it's useless to say anything.

So just look at him.

Watching him change into swimming trunks, watching him step by step towards the swimming pool.

Not as strong and flamboyant as usual, and even that bright hair seemed to have become dull because of the owner's emotions.

The moment Rin stood on the platform, Nitori immediately grasped the thing in his hand tightly, it was a unique amulet.

In fact, that day, he did not go out with Rin, he just heard that there was a very spiritual shrine nearby, so he wanted to ask Senior Matsuoka for a guardian, and pray for Shazuru by the way.

The little shark and the Chinese characters for 'Rin' on it were embroidered by himself after hiding on the bed for a long time.When her second sister took him to be consecrated by the mage, she laughed at him for a long time when she saw the thing with almost indistinguishable species on it.Fortunately, Senior Songgang's name is very feminine. His second sister thought he was a girl who had a crush and was embarrassed to say so, so she gave up the "torture torture" on him.

"preparation!"

The referee raised his right hand slowly, and before the gunshot, Nitori immediately closed his eyes tightly.

"God, please give him strength and let him complete the game in the best condition!"
