Chapter 453 The Sorrows of Young Werther

Upon learning that the students participating in the sports meet would have an extra free activity period each day, the students who did not participate in the sports meet suddenly felt conflicted.

Just a second ago they were sympathizing with the students who weren't in good health but still volunteered to participate. After all, given their physical condition, the best outcome of participating in the sports meet would be to become part of the entertainment.

But now, well, that's another story.jpg
Is it too late to say you want to participate in the sports meet now?
But no matter what they may think, the fact remains the fact. Without a sufficiently legitimate reason, they cannot resist the decision to be read aloud by the teacher, especially since the decision actually came from the school.

"You really aren't going to practice?"

After running two laps of 100 meters, Kiriyama Kazuma, hands on his hips and panting heavily, lowered his gaze and looked at Watanabe Yu, who was sitting on the flower bed in front of him.

As Watanabe's good friend, he definitely has to participate in the sports event.

To avoid the awkward situation of meeting another king, he did not choose the 3,000-meter race that Watanabe Yu participated in, but instead chose the 100-meter race.

However, based on his actual experience running the race, he felt that he had acted impulsively.

After running two laps, he was panting heavily, like a bellows, and even felt a little dizzy.

Indeed, there are thresholds to praising youth and sweating it out.

"Run again later."

Watanabe Yu gave a concise answer.

Theoretically speaking, he could have chosen not to run, as Risa Yasuhara had told him. She felt that with his physical abilities, he could simply hold back and give everyone a surprise when the sports meet officially began.

But he figured, since he was already here, he might as well slow down and give it a try.

Moreover, three kilometers isn't actually that long, especially for him, whose morning exercise intensity has been increasing.

“Alright.” Kiriyama Kazuma closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and after his heartbeat slowed down, he sat down next to Watanabe Yu and started talking, “Actually… when I was in junior high school, I was a sprinter.”

"A lame joke? That's interesting."

Watanabe Yu chimed in without giving him any face.

"Tsk, can't you be a little more cooperative at a time like this?"

Kiriyama rolled his eyes and punched Watanabe Yu on the shoulder.

To be fair, not only did Watanabe Yu not believe it, but he himself didn't believe his own claim.

"I can't help it, I just like to tell the truth."

Watanabe Yu chuckled softly, his gaze falling on the running track of the playground.

Compared to those who selectively slack off, most students in other classes are quite serious, especially the students in Class A and Class B of the first year of high school. Regardless of gender, they are all practicing their projects very seriously.

"Sigh, so I have no idea how you found a girlfriend. You have such a big mouth..." Kiriyama Kazuma shook his head, then looked in the direction Watanabe Yu was looking. "Watanabe, do you think couples from high school can really stay together after graduation?"

"You had a conflict with Takakura?"

Watanabe Yu asked, somewhat surprised.

In his memory, Kiriyama and Maki had always had a good relationship; there were very few conflicts, let alone minor frictions.

Of course, this is also related to Kiriyama Kazuma's easygoing personality when it comes to relationships.

To be honest, it's really hard to get genuinely angry when dating such a lively person.

"No."

Kiriyama Kazuma gave a negative answer, but his gaze unconsciously fell on a girl who was running.

After looking at it carefully three or four times, he reluctantly looked away.

To be honest, this junior is indeed exceptionally talented, very cute... he meant her steps are very bouncy.

"Then why would you suddenly ask that?"

Theoretically speaking, when your best friend asks you questions about love, he has either encountered a similar situation or something even worse.

“I’m just a little worried.” Kiriyama Kazuma sighed. “Recently, I’ve seen a lot of cases where people graduated from high school, went to university, and then nothing happened.” He didn’t doubt Maki’s feelings for him, nor had his feelings for Maki wavered, but he was just a little worried.

After entering university, you will see a wider world and meet more people.

Naturally, this broadening of perspectives will inevitably lead to some changes in thinking.

"That's true."

Watanabe Yu nodded in agreement.

"So I'm worried that things might change for me, or for Maki." Kiriyama Kazuma leaned back slightly, supporting himself on the flower bed with his hands, and looked up at the large tree overhead that blocked most of the sunlight. "What if things change?"

"Being anxious about gains and losses?"

Watanabe Yu asked a question.

This kind of situation is quite common.

"More or less, but more of a fear of the future, and I... don't really feel like I want to start a family."

To be fair, Kiriyama Kazuma prides himself on being rather carefree. He knows that he and Maki have a long road ahead of them, and the word "marriage" is even more distant to him, but he inexplicably keeps thinking about it.

The more he forced himself not to think about it, the stronger the thoughts became in his mind.

It even got to the point where he couldn't eat or sleep properly.

This was part of the reason he participated in the sports event.

He hoped to show Maki a different side of himself.

Of course, he was referring to the positive aspects.

"No, buddy, isn't it a bit too early to be thinking about this?" Watanabe Yu's lips twitched involuntarily. "I mean, you're not even old enough yet, and then there's another issue: scaring yourself with things that haven't even happened yet, you..."

He's really hard to evaluate.

I can understand, but I cannot agree.

It's good to think three steps ahead before taking one, but it's somewhat unnecessary to scare yourself with the worst-case scenario every time you take a step.

You can't just think that your own pieces are going to be lost after you've just faced off against someone, can you?
Where is this?

“That’s how it is, Watanabe.” Kiriyama Kazuma’s eyes reflected the branches of the large tree. “Just consider it a moment of sentimentality on my part.”

Regardless, he did feel much better after saying those words.

At least he won't feel so bored anymore.

"Ok."

Watanabe Yu nodded, then patted his sweatpants and stood up.

He should go for a run.

If they run away now, they can rest for a while longer later.

"Watanabe!"

Just as he was about to take a step, Kiriyama Kazuma called out to him.

"hold head high?"

"Hamabe-senpai is here."

Kiriyama raised an eyebrow, gesturing for him to look to the left.

To their left, a beautiful figure was carrying two bottles of water and walking towards them.
