6. The sixth day of Laogai
The next day, both of them seemed to have restrained their extra mood and started a repetitive but fulfilling life. Akashi was still playing basketball on his small basketball court, while Haruna took care of animals and fields, and the rest of the time was observing Akashi.
In fact, Haruna was still a little embarrassed about what happened last night. She has always appeared in front of Akashi with a relatively mature image, but yesterday, she felt from the bottom of her heart that her character had collapsed.
...As a matter of setting up a random person, you will be punished! But Akashi is worthy of being a considerate and good boy. When facing Haruna this morning, he still looked humble and polite, which slowly dissipated Haruna's awkwardness.
Haruna watched Akashi play basketball for three days. On the fourth day, she was completely resurrected with full blood, but her resurrection became Akashi's hell.
"When I was shooting just now, the strength of my right finger was a little weaker." As he said this, Haruna looked at Akashi expressionlessly. She was kneeling on the grass. After detecting Akashi's shocked gaze, she said slowly: "Maybe you think humans cannot accurately control every force, but I know that as long as you practice diligently, the muscles in your body will remember every move you move."
Akashi let the basketball hit the basket roll from his feet to the side. His pupils trembled slightly, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. This condescending tone and unspeakable accusations made the unknown emotion in his heart more and more difficult to control.
The basketball just rolled to Haruna's hand. Haruna grabbed it lightly with her own hands. Although her hand was very small, she grabbed the basketball very steadily. She stood up from the grass and walked step by step to the concrete ground. Then, she made a standard shooting move in front of Akashi's eyes. After a few seconds, the sound of the basketball landing sounded. It was a hollow basket. Haruna had a faint expression, standing in front of the three-point line, and then threw a hollow basket.
"...Is this your first time playing basketball?" Akashi's voice was very heavy when he asked this.
Haruna bent down and picked up the ball. She observed the basketball in her hand and said carelessly: "Who knows? It doesn't matter what you want to think, but, before that, should you give it a try?"
"What to try?" Akashi asked slowly.
"I don't know your professional term, but please give me some advice." She turned the basketball with her index finger casually, her beautiful purple eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her face. She obviously did nothing, but Akashi still felt the overwhelming pressure rushing towards her.
Akashi's forehead was covered with fine sweat, but even so, he still silently lowered his body's center of gravity and responded to Haruna's challenge with his movements.
Haruna made the same move as him.
Neither of them mentioned the rules. Akashi believed that Haruna knew all this, and Haruna... Haruna didn't expect this at all. After all, all she had to do was to beat Akashi.
This process was as she had imagined, and there was no big obstacle. Although she had only planned to show the power that humans should have during this period, she still showed a terrible physical quality that was not human during the competition.
When the score was zero to nine, Haruna jumped high at the three-point line, and Akashi also gritted his teeth and jumped up. He reached out to press Haruna's ball, but reality was always so cruel. Haruna, who was ten centimeters shorter than him, easily surpassed him. He still did not hold on to the last ball.
When the two landed, Akashi inevitably hit Haruna. He thought Haruna would be knocked to the ground by him, but in fact, he sat on the ground all at once. The feeling just now was like a tiny floating and sinking against a rock that was still alive. There was never a moment that gave him such a huge sense of frustration.
Behind him, the sound of the basketball falling to the ground sounded again.
"It's a hollow basket." Haruna announced the answer calmly.
She saw Akashi's pupils tremble slightly, but this was far from enough. Haruna slowly walked forward, "It's very painful, because you are so weak." Her voice still sounded unrestless, but the words she said were very unfriendly. "Everyone of my companions became stronger, but in the end you were the only one standing there."
While talking, Haruna did not forget to observe Akashi. Although it seemed that he was hit hard, his inner defense still did not collapse. Not bad. Since that's the case...
Haruna's body exuded a sense of overwhelming oppression, and her target pointed directly at Akashi on the opposite side. It was very good, and now even her body began to tremble.
"But don't worry, isn't it just a loss? With your current state, there is no way to lose. The body and muscle memory is not sufficient. Although the jumping power is good, it is limited to the shortcomings of your own height. It is very fast and flexible. But so what? Although you look like everything is good, you are wrong. With such a balance, you can only say that everything is mediocre."
As soon as Haruna finished speaking, the boy opposite suddenly changed. His body suddenly stopped trembling. He slowly raised his head, and the rose-red left eye began to gradually fade away. The golden eyes replaced it. The gentle aura around him also disappeared, and the face was cold and awe-inspiring, and he was looking directly at Haruna from bottom to top.
Haruna was waiting for this moment. She quickly stepped forward and hit Akashi's head with a knife, knocking Akashi's raised head again. "I just said that, I was lying to you." Haruna said quickly, without giving Akashi any chance to react, her palms fell on Akashi's head, "Second-level magic·potential stimulation, second-level magic·soul comfort." The halo was rushing down from Akashi's head, and then he fell softly on Haruna's body, and knocked Akashi, who was supposed to be second-level magic, back.
"... Even if I give me one million next time, I won't do such a thing." Haruna put his arms around Akashi's shoulder, wiped a handful of sweat that did not exist at all and muttered to himself. This kind of thing is both hated and difficult to grasp, but... Haruna looked at the boy in her arms and poked his face, "It's really amazing, Akashi."
Akashi woke up at around 6 o'clock in the evening. At that time, Haruna had already prepared a table of food. The dishes were very rich, including salads, fish soup, fried food and stir-fry. The desserts also bid farewell to a single pudding, and instead there were chocolate mousse, something that was difficult to make when it came to the name.
"Are you awake?" Haruna looked up and glanced at him, then calmly looked down at the notebook in his hand. Yes, it was the ranch knowledge notes provided by Akashi's family.
Compared to the calm Haruna, Akashi was still in a state of confusion. His feet seemed to be stepping on cotton balls, not knowing whether he was in an absurd dream or in a magical reality. He sat opposite Haruna with a blank expression. He held his head with one hand, and looked at the steaming dishes on the table with a little unconscious eyes.
"I--"
"Let's have a meal."
The two spoke at the same time, and finally, Akashi followed Haruna's advice unconditionally. He picked up the chopsticks and began to taste the delicious food in front of him. As his meal was going on, his brain, which was originally confused, gradually returned to clear the clarity until he drank the last bite of fish soup. Only then did he clear what happened today - it was just that Haruna saw that he was about to get second, so he used the provocation method to make him get second completely but stopped him on his way to get second.
...Stop? Akashi pondered, rather than stopping, it was a forced fusion? Because, there seemed to be something different about him. But he had to describe it, but he could not describe it accurately.
After the two finished their meal, Haruna cleaned up the dishes as usual. She turned around and found Akashi was still sitting at the dining table thinking. After thinking for a while, she said, "Let's go and set fireworks." She pointed to the tidy box at the door, "When summer is about to end, I bought a lot of fireworks. After all, there is no summer festival here. Even if it is autumn, if you don't set off fireworks, you will always feel that the whole summer has passed." Haruna said with some exclamation.
After a while, Akashi looked at her deeply and smiled and said, "Okay."
"But before that, I have something to give to you."
The two of them carried a large box of fireworks to the small hillside that was owned by Chunna Ranch. Chunna picked out the fireworks and placed them under the hillside, then pulled Akashi to the hillside. The two sat side by side, Chunna stretched out all her legs and swayed in the air. She had a bunch of fairy sticks on her hand.
Akashi imitated her to place her legs on the edge of the hillside, and glanced at Haruna, who was wearing a black-bottomed yukata beside him. He turned his head slightly.
"It's very suitable, Akashi." Haruna said after looking at him for a while. What she was talking about was naturally the black yukata on Akashi, which was what she gave to Akashi before she went out.
Akashi sighed lowly and smiled helplessly, "Your yukata is also suitable for you, Haruna." He did not look at Haruna when he spoke, but looked up at the quiet starry sky. Although it was autumn, the wind at night still had a lingering temperature, blowing his fine red hair. With the caress of the wind, Akashi's expression seemed extremely soft, and there was a gentle look in his strange eyes.
Haruna let out a deep breath, and she clapped her hands and said to Akashi: "Next, I want to bring you a magic."
Akashi looked at her in confusion.
Haruna bent the corner of her mouth and shook her finger. Akashi looked in the direction she pointed, and saw the fireworks lying under the hillside burning one after another with the fuses pointed at the direction her fingertips. The huge fireworks dyed the dark sky with a different color.
The sound of fireworks exploded filled the sky, and Haruna suddenly spoke under such circumstances, "Akashi! Do you like playing basketball--!" Haruna shouted with all his strength covering her ears.
At that moment, the joy from the heart that came from the bottom of his heart when he met basketball when he was young suddenly erupted from his heart. At the same time, the smile of his mother appeared together. In fact, he kept persevering because of his love.
This lost mood has returned again under this noisy situation.
So Akashi supported himself on the grass with one hand, and then he leaned close to Haruna and whispered in her ear: "I have always been, I really like it."
Haruna was stunned for a moment. She touched her slightly flushed ears, but she still laughed. She imitated Akashi and also came to his ear and said, "Then, please keep sticking with this mood."
The next morning, Haruna gently pushed Akashi's room away. Sure enough, as she thought, the red-haired boy was gone.
It seemed that he had returned to his own world. Haruna took a deep breath, dispelling the inexplicable emotions in her heart, and then she stepped into Akashi's room. She looked around the room, and then her eyes were attracted by a piece of white paper placed on the writing desk.
She walked over slowly, reached out and picked up the paper from the table.
Haruna was very familiar with the handwriting on it because it was exactly the same as the notes in her notebook. It was like a letter, but it was more casual and intimate than the letter, and there was only a few short words on it.
"Thank you always feel very pale and powerless. I hope one day I will meet you in the real world."
"Even if you are pale and powerless, write it for me..." Holding this short message, Haruna muttered in a low voice, but soon a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
At this time, a sudden sound interrupted Haruna's thoughts, and the cute voice of the system echoed in the entire pasture again.
"Congratulations to the player Haruna for successfully curing a secondary reserve. I hope the rancher Haruna will continue his ability and complete more challenges! The reward for completing the mission is now issued - the channel for the world killing sports of Akashi Seijuro where he is located. Haruna can run his own store in this world! Whether it is a tailor shop, seed factory or a dessert shop, it can become a road to becoming rich! The work channel has been opened for Haruna. Human beings are too weak, so there are always many things that cannot be completed, but there is no need to do it.
The rancher, Haruna, is different. She will call you wherever you point, and spend money to hire her! If Haruna completes a certain number of working tasks and improves the intimacy of the world of killing human sports, there will be unexpected surprises waiting for you! What are you waiting for? Go and work, girl! The connection channel has appeared in the main gate of the ranch. If you need to connect to the world, please buy a store first. An excellent geographical location is also half the success! But the value of this half of success is slightly higher. Wealth is the foundation of everything!"
Haruna stood in the room with a blank expression on her face. Although she had long felt that Akashi was not that simple, what the hell was a sports event for killing humans!
Chapter completed!
