Shiina Kiri doesn't understand what Kobayakawa Kazuki's feelings are for him.
She always maintains the distance of a friend and does not object to spending more time with him.
The tacit identity of the boy was like a layer of armor she had given herself. It seemed thin, cheap and defenseless, but it made it clear that she did not want to have a relationship with him that went beyond friendship.
He didn't dare to act rashly. After all, once something was said, there was no turning back.
Confession should not be a clarion call to charge, but a declaration of victory.
This sentence is not very appropriate to use here, but it almost means that.
If you show your cards without adequate preparation, you may not be able to complete the mission.
And the failure of the mission meant that the fireworks would really fade away. That was really stupid, and he didn't want any regrets.
No, to be precise, he didn't want Aozora to leave. He didn't know when he fell in love with her.
But he was sure that he really liked it.
Speaking of which, Aozora has not contacted him for more than half a month, and the messages he sent online have also disappeared, and are no longer shown as read.
I have to say that the blue subtitles are indeed too accurate for girls.
In fact, Shiina Kiri has also thought about how to remedy the situation if he and Kobayakawa Kazuki are still stuck like this when the countdown to the mission is about to end:
The first is to use all strategy points to draw gene capsules (randomly).
However, there are tens of thousands of types of gene capsules, which means that the probability is only one in tens of thousands.
Even though he has been gaining skill experience recently to gain more strategy points.
...and it is basically impossible to succeed.
The second is the bet between him and Kazuki Kobayakawa, about the monthly test results.
The loser must agree to the winner's request, any request is acceptable.
Shiina Kiri didn't know whether asking Kobayakawa Kazuki to confirm their relationship with him through a bet was considered as completing the task, and whether she could guess anything.
So in the end, he didn't want to use this method to get her to agree to be his girlfriend.
It's funny to say.
When he sent Gensei Yuka to the hospital before, he also made such a request to her.
Is this considered a precautionary measure?
…
Saturday.
Today was supposed to be Shiina Kiri's day to work part-time, but in order to prepare for the sports festival next Monday, he asked Gensei Yuka to help with the day shift during the dinner party yesterday.
Naturally, Yuansheng Jiexia would not refuse.
Just like what Kazuki Kobayakawa complained about at yesterday's party, Gensei Yuka is really too used to Shiina Kiri.
If you are so humble in your relationship, you will only make yourself passive.
The summer breeze is warm, and Yuuki High School is a little deserted today.
After all, it is the weekend, and only students in the "Rocket Class" of each grade need to attend class on Saturday.
Shiina Kiri walked towards the playground.
Shortly after he entered the campus, a black car parked at the door...
The playground of Yuuki High School is composed of many areas. The two "national sports" of baseball and football naturally have dedicated venues.
In addition, there are even table tennis courts, badminton courts, tennis courts...
As the largest shareholder of Yuki High School, the Aozora family's investment will naturally not be shabby.
All kinds of sports facilities are available and very complete.
Shiina Kiri took the football she borrowed yesterday and trotted to a position thirty meters directly opposite the goal.
The distance of the football nine-square grid is 30 meters. You can choose to stand still or sprint to kick the ball.
The sound of the ball entering the net was quite pleasant. The violently rotating football was caught by the loose net and slowly rolled down to the white line.
He trotted over to pick up the ball.
Today there are no more than ten or twenty footballs waiting for him to shoot. He can only kick and pick up the ball once.
Fortunately, after nearly half a month of practice, his accuracy has become quite high.
There will be no situation where a kick hits the badminton court dozens of meters away.
After all, he has the "comprehension" skill, and his understanding of unfamiliar "skills" is quite high.
On the third floor of the office building outside the playground, Kazuki Kobayakawa was leaning on a soft chair, holding a strawberry-flavored ice cream in his hand, watching the boy in the distance repeating the actions of kicking the ball, picking up the ball, kicking the ball...
"Quite accurate."
After she murmured, she yawned somewhat boredly.
This morning I was asked by him to go for a morning jog again. I didn’t get enough sleep, so I felt sleepy.
More than half an hour later, Shiina Kiri held the football in her right hand and took a long breath, as if she wanted to let out all the tightness in her chest.
He was about to put down the football and continue his previous actions, when out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of Kazuki Kobayakawa walking from not far away.
"Didn't you say you don't have time to come over today?" Shiina Kiri waved to her.
He had invited her during his morning jog, but she gave her a silent glance.
"How can you practice if I don't come over?"
Kobayakawa Kazuki looked at him impatiently, as if he thought he talked a lot of nonsense.
Shiina Kiri was not annoyed and smiled.
Sometimes I feel that the squad leader looks a lot like Asakura Oto, both of them are quite stubborn in their speech.
Well, maybe the squad leader is no longer stubborn and sometimes has a sharp tongue.
"It's really tiring to pick up the ball, but monitor, you were so considerate that you came to accompany me after you were done."
Shiina Kiri looked at Kazuki Kobayakawa who was walking in front of her, and stepped forward to reach out his right hand to hook her shoulder to maintain the "brotherly" friendship.
"Don't move your hands or feet, I just finished taking a shower."
Kobayakawa Kazuki stared at him and took two steps back, his eyes alert, as if to prevent him from suddenly rushing towards him.
"I took a shower when I went out..."
As Shiina Kiri spoke, she followed Kobayakawa Kazuki's gaze and looked to her left.
The football field is covered with grass. Although it has not rained in the past few days, it is still covered in dust after playing for so long.
In fact, the fundamental problem is that Shiina Kiri sometimes clamps the ball around her waist with her hands.
When you are too tired, you won't pay attention to the details, and you will be comfortable as long as you feel comfortable.
"Okay." Shiina Kiri spread her hands.
After he put the football down, he kicked it hard towards the goal behind him, and the football hit the net.
Shiina Kiri looked back at Kobayakawa Kazuki.
The two stared at each other in silence for a short while.
Shiina Kiri."?"
"Didn't you mean to help pick up the ball?"
"Go pick it up yourself. I'm here to take you to get the competition equipment." Kazuki Kobayakawa sighed.
She never said anything about helping pick up the ball, right?
"What do you mean? Wasn't the football borrowed yesterday?" Shiina Kiri didn't react for a moment.
"Follow me with the ball."
Kobayakawa Kazuki took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, passed his middle finger through the keychain, shook it and made a messy "dinging" sound.
"Forget it, just put the ball here. There are too many things and it's inconvenient to hold the ball."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the exit of the playground.
Shiina Kiri also understood what she meant. They were going to win the "Nine Palaces" of the competition.
He jogged and walked beside her.
"Squad leader, you went out of your way to borrow the key to the equipment room?"
"Otherwise, the game is not about shooting."
"Okay." Shiina Kiri agreed.
He followed Kazuki Kobayakawa to the equipment room, a warehouse near the gymnasium. When he opened it, he saw that there were many facilities inside.
For example, the class collectively jumped rope with arm-thick hemp rope, and the "UFO" ball that wrinkled in a pile after deflation...
These things sit in the equipment room gathering dust and are only taken out during the annual sports festival.
After walking a certain distance, Shiina Kiri saw the goal of their trip in the corner.
The so-called Jiugong grid is a gray grid of nine cubes with numbers from 0 to 8 written on it.
"1 and 2 are filled with sand and gravel, 3, 4, and 5 are filled with water, and 6, 7, and 8 are hollow." Kobayakawa Kazuki said with his arms crossed.
"No wonder Fujita said it was difficult to kick over." Shiina Kiri nodded.
The length, width and height of the square grid are visually estimated to be about 30 centimeters. If filled with water, it would be about 27 kilograms.
If filled with sand, it will be heavier.
"Yeah." Kazuki Kobayakawa nodded. "So you only need to kick over three empty squares. If you can hit the Easter egg with the remaining two balls, you can secure the first place."
In fact, if you can kick over three empty squares, you have a high chance of winning the championship.
After all, it is not that easy to hit a 30cm square from a distance of 30 meters.
For comparison, a basketball court is only 28 meters long.
From such a long distance, he hit a square that was only slightly larger than a football...
"By the way, what are Easter eggs?"
"The easter eggs are 0 and empty. Generally speaking, the six locations on the lower two floors are uncertain."
"So, the 0 on the square should be facing the audience, and the players can't see the serial number of the square?"
"Yes." Kobayakawa Kazuki nodded. "It seems that you saw the sports festival last year."
Couldn't he have guessed it?
"Then what if someone calls the time?"
"The auditorium is not close to the venue of the competition. Are you sure the audience won't just choose a location?"
Maybe it’s part of the fun for the audience to randomly report points.
Since the grid is facing the audience, it is at least forty to fifty meters away. At such a long distance, even if a companion announces the point, it cannot be heard clearly.
Moreover, can you hit the ball if you know the position?
Kobayakawa Kazuki suddenly remembered something.
"If you're lucky and hit the Easter egg, you might be able to knock over three or four of them with one kick."
"You think highly of me."
Shiina Kiri stepped forward and tried the weight of "1".
"So heavy?"
It doesn't look big, but it feels like it's at least 30 kilograms. It's so dense that I want to kick it over with a football.
crazy?
It is also possible that these five solid grids appear just for the easter eggs. After all, if someone kicks over the easter egg and knocks down several solid grids, it will definitely cause a lot of cheers.
"Ahem, squad leader, why don't you move the water grid?" Shiina Kiri looked at grids 3 to 5.
"Can I move it?" Kobayakawa refused without thinking.
The grid filled with water is equivalent to the weight of a bucket and a half of water, and it does not have a handle like a bucket, making it difficult to exert force.
Shiina Kiri was speechless when he heard this. If he had known that she was a girl, he would have been able to tell whether she was a ghost or not.
Now it seems that I can only move it by myself. Fortunately, my strength and physique have improved a bit.
but……
"Since it's not shooting, why move it to the football field? Can't you practice it in the gym?"
The playground and the gymnasium are not in the same area, one is to the east and the other is to the south.
Those five solid grids add up to more than a hundred kilograms!
Kobayakawa Kazuki tilted his head and thought for a moment. "Yeah."
"Um?"
"Then you go back to the playground and get the football."
