[Comprehensive] Manna's Summer

36#Evening Song

Fatigue fractures, usually due to abnormal or repetitive external stress, or sustained weight bearing on the leg or ankle.

"Obvious periosteum and bone marrow edema appeared in one-third of the tibia. It is common for athletes or ballerinas to suffer from this disease. How did a little girl get her own fatigue fracture?"

The old doctor frowned and asked.And the three of them couldn't answer for a moment.

——Yeah, how did you make it like this?

Coincidentally, Hei Zizhe also came over after receiving a call from Erica. Hearing this, he was silent for a moment, and then answered the question in a low voice.

"My sister practiced late at home every day. She had to practice seven or eight hours a day. My family also persuaded me, but it didn't work." His voice was very soft, "My sister has been saying that her legs hurt during this time. It's just because I'm too tired. I also persuaded her to stop for a while, but she said she couldn't hold everyone back."

Kugaoi unconsciously clenched her palms tightly, her nails digging deep into the flesh.Seeing this, Kuga Kaoru patted his sister lightly on the shoulder.

"Stop all strenuous exercise within three months, and recover slowly after the plaster cast is removed." The doctor sighed, "Let her avoid this situation as much as possible in the future. Overtraining may cause recurrence and cause habitual fractures." It’s not good. During this period of time, the family should pay attention to diet, and avoid collisions in daily life. Are you two girls still junior high school students? The bones of adolescents in the development period are very fragile. Dancing is a good thing, But overdoing will hurt, so you should pay more attention to it on weekdays. Don’t work too hard. Your body is your own, and the days are long, understand?"

Kugaoi pursed her lips tightly, and Erika silently lowered her eyes.

After walking out of the doctor's office, Erika gently tugged at Aoi's sleeve.

"I'm going to see Mana-chan, do you want to come with Aoi-chan?"

"...I'm not going." Jiu Wokui pursed her lips, and turned her head away bitterly, "Who wants to see that idiot..."

Hei Zizhe also glanced at her from the side, and went to the hospital by himself without saying a word, leaving Erica to look at his back in embarrassment and at Kugaoi, who was still regretting her slip of the tongue.

"Kui-chan, don't always talk like that..."

"Anyway, that's the kind of person I am!" Aoi raised her voice slightly, then lowered it suddenly, "...don't worry about me!"

She ran towards the door fiercely, Erica stretched out her hand nervously behind her, and finally hung it down slowly.Kaoru Kuga patted Erika's head lightly, and went after Kuga Aoi anyway.Erica quietly watched the backs of the two with those wine-red eyes, and there was a dim light in her eyes.She lowered her eyes silently, letting her long eyelashes hide the dark color in her eyes.

"No way, sunflower sauce."

Her voice was very soft, erratic like a gossamer.

"Mana-chan will be sad when she hears it." Her voice lowered slowly, "So, don't always talk like that."

Hei Zizhe also pushed open the door of the ward, and saw the girl lying on the bed.The other party looked over with those water blue eyes that were so similar to him, showing a soft smile.

"I'm sorry, Ah Zhe, for making you worry." Mana apologized in a low voice, "I was too anxious this time, so I won't be so careless next time."

Heizi sat down in silence, held Mana's hand, and after a long time, he opened his mouth softly.

"...Can I quit?" He lowered his eyes, "I don't want to see my sister get hurt again."

"Azhe...would you give up basketball because of an injury?" Mana smiled wryly, "Even in the basketball department, Azhe never once said that he would give up basketball. So... How could I give up because of one injury?"

"..."

Hei Zizhe was also speechless for a moment.Mana raised her hand and gently caressed his cheek, those gentle eyes stared quietly at his eyes, so calm and firm.

"It's impossible to realize your dreams without paying any price." She said softly, "Do you know how many idol groups want to debut in Japan every year? More than 1000, not including those underground bands , there are so many idol groups alone. Yesterday at Xiacomi, I can’t even remember how many doujin bands I saw releasing their own CDs. Don’t they have dreams? Are they not working hard enough? Are they not as good as us? Isn’t that the case Yes, Ah Zhe."

Mana put her finger on Kuroko's lips, stopped him from wanting to say something, and continued to speak calmly.

"It's just like you play basketball. The basketball clubs of every school have put in their best efforts to win, but how many winners will there be in the end? Not to mention the games, there are hundreds of players in the Diguang basketball club. Players, but how many can play basketball on behalf of Diguang in the end? How many players have no chance to stand on the court every year until they graduate? The competition is as cruel as it is, but if you want to realize your dream, the only one The way is to get opportunities from this competition."

There was a light in her eyes that Heizi Tetsuya didn't understand. Heizi stared into her eyes, and suddenly felt that his sister was so strange at this moment, so strange that he seemed to have never known her.

"Resources are limited, Azhe. To make a very simple analogy, in Xia comi yesterday, one person bought one of our discs, so he would buy one less disc from others. If we want to realize our dream—to become Japan's No. [-] band—the price we paid is not enough. It is far from enough. Only by working harder than everyone else, being better than anyone, and surpassing others can we get more resources and spread out this road road to success."

Mana gently touched Kuroko's head, and smiled softly at him.

"It's just this little price, and I think it's worth it in exchange for the success of this live. What's more, the dance I have learned now is enough to benefit me for a lifetime. What I have learned is my thing, just like singing, and I will definitely learn it in the future." It works. I'll be careful not to overdo it in the future, don't worry. I'll be measured."

Hei Zizhe also closed his eyes silently.

"But sister, your dream—isn't it enough for even one person to be encouraged by your singing?"

Mana smiled and shook her head lightly.

"That's why I have to try to let more people hear it. My song." She said softly, "It's useless to just 'think', you have to 'do'. Dreaming of this kind of thing, as long as you don't put it into practice Actions are always just dreams.”

Mana's smile became softer.

"There is no dream that can be realized without hard work, Ah Zhe. Realizing a dream is, to some extent, changing reality. If you don't pay enough, how can you get the power to change reality?"

Xia comi's live response was unexpectedly good.

"Now 2ch has exploded." Kuga Kaoru handed the tablet to Mana, "The post discussing the band on Natsu comi has been on the front page for a long time, and everyone is discussing the three of you. I probably glanced at it, everyone Some are good reviews."

"Eh...is that so?" Mana took the tablet and slid down the page, "...but why was my fatigue fracture revealed?"

"A friend of mine said it was a slip of the tongue, and it was posted on the Internet by someone he knew." Jiu Gaxun sighed deeply, "Sorry, I didn't expect this to spread."

"...I just don't like to say that everyone knows about this kind of thing." Mana smiled bitterly, "After all, I don't want people to feel...I'm telling others how hard I work...Everyone is working hard, I just did what I was supposed to do, and I got fractured because I was ignorant and too disrespectful... Seeing someone say 'she worked so hard' and 'so hard'... I always feel very embarrassed. Aoi It's harder than me, I have to dance, and I have to teach the two of us... just because of the broken bone, it feels like I'm the only one working hard, it feels very... bad."

Her smile became more and more bitter, and she said: "You may think I'm hypocritical, but I really think that hard work should be done. Everyone has worked so hard to come here. It will be very strange to mention it... it will be very strange... Mr. Xun Erika is also working very hard."

Kaoru Kuga sighed and patted Mana's head.

"You're a good girl." He said with a smile, "so don't think too much about it, things are always unsatisfactory when they happen, think about it, at least it makes everyone remember the bios, doesn't it? I care too much Other people's evaluation and feelings, but you can't be a good artist."

"...That's right, I was thinking too much." Mana laughed.

"Well, how about seeing something good?" Kaoru Jiugao leaned down/slid the tablet's webpage scroll wheel, "Look, everyone's comments on that CD are very good, saying that your live and CD are both good. Very good. You guys sing really well too."

"I also praised you." Mana pointed to a netizen's message, "Look, 'The arrangement is amazing, it can match three completely different vocals skillfully, especially the harmony part, there is almost nothing to criticize It’s very rare to be able to do this in a place like this.’—Actually, I also think that Xun-kun’s arrangement is very good.”

"I don't dare to accept this compliment, it's better for the three of you to cooperate." Kaoru patted Mana's head and stood up, "You have a good rest, I'll go see Aoi."

"What happened to Aoi?"

Kaoru Kuga gave a wry smile.

"Father was furious when he found out that she formed a band and held a live in cm... That child has always been stubborn, and she refused to bow to her father no matter what. As a result... her ward is on the 9th floor, you should go and see her when you have time. "

Mana opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Kaoru Kuga let out a long sigh.

He couldn't tell her that the main reason why Aoi refused to bow her head was because of Mana.

Kuga Aoi, who has long been used to submitting to her father's will, has long been used to obeying her father's orders, and will not resist any orders of her father, this time her attitude is unbelievably tough, and it can be said that she is not taking an inch of it. let.

"Mana has practiced for the band to the bone. How can I give up now?"

When she was beaten to the hospital, she said this to her father.

"I proposed it in the first place, so no matter what, I will never be a coward."

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to forgive me, or you think I've humiliated you, or you can object anyway..."

"As long as you don't kill me, I will never quit."

Later, Kuga Aoi said this to Kuga Kaoru.

"At that time, I asked Mana to be enlightened. She let me see her enlightenment." She said with a smile, "So, I have to let them see my enlightenment."
