When estimating the approximate distance——

boom--

Under the huge force generated by the side kick, the vending machine shook violently.

The coffee rolls out from the bottom outlet.

"what......"

"Success..."

Just when Arisu showed a relaxed expression—

"Hey! What are those students over there doing?!"

not far away.

The director of guidance, who happened to be passing by, happened to witness everything that happened.

"Arisu! Asamura... run! That guy is pretty strict!"

Hachiman, who reacted immediately, grabbed Asamura who was in a daze and Arisu who had not yet come to his senses, and ran quickly towards the teaching building at the other end.

Chapter 47 Karate

Hachiman-san...

doing what?

Asamura Hanako stared at the profile of Hachiman.

The red teaching building was getting closer and closer to my sight, the green belts on both sides of the road were constantly passing by behind me, and the wind blew my bangs into a messy state. I should have stopped to rest, but my body had no intention of stopping at all.

The right hand that was grabbed by Hachiman-san...

Warming up of the body.

---------

When she arrived at the door of Class A's classroom, the overload on her body forced Hanako Asamura to hold on to the door frame, and her chest heaved as if she had just finished a ten-kilometer run.

"Ah! That was close! If I were caught destroying school facilities, I would be dead!"

Anna Hachiman turned around, and the worried look on her face turned into envy the next moment.

"Arisu-kun! So cool! Hey! That was a side kick, right? I've seen it on UFC, but I didn't expect to see it in real life. It's so cool!"

After witnessing what happened a few minutes ago.

Arisu-san's status in my heart has risen to a higher level again.

"A side kick... maybe that's the way to describe it."

In the face of Hachiman's enthusiastic reaction, Arisu Sato seemed to be accustomed to it and there was never much emotion on her face.

"Arisu-san's side kick... he must have knocked out many people with this move, right?"

"...I wouldn't use this move on a person. If you accidentally kick them in a vital part, they won't be able to withstand the force and will pass out. It's life-threatening..."

"Is that karate that Arisu-san performed? Hmm... I prefer karate, which is known for its practical combat, to the fancy moves of taekwondo."

"...Well, mom used to be a tenth-degree karate master."

I have very few memories of karate. After all, it has been ten years since my mother passed away.

She had only practiced karate for one year when she was seven years old, and she only knew a small part of the essentials of karate as her mother did.

It's totally incomparable to my mother.

Arisu said this calmly without noticing the surprised expression on Hachiman's face after hearing the words 'tenth degree in karate', who was standing less than a meter away from him.

"Tenth dan? Is that true? It's the highest level, tenth dan..."

"...There's no need to joke about this."

anyway.

This is the first time I have mentioned this to others.

——About the karate that my mother taught me.

"Hey! Could you please take me to meet... to meet Arisu's mother?"

Unable to suppress his excitement any longer, Hachiman wrapped Arisu's hands in his palms.

The devout look in his eyes... was just like a Christian facing God.

It was the first time that Arisu saw Hachiman with such a sincere expression... He had no idea how to respond.

"If Hachiman wants to learn about karate, I can explain these aspects to you. As for mom...my mom died in a landslide accident ten years ago."

He said these words expressionlessly, and even though the tragic scenes at that time kept flashing before his eyes, he still didn't feel much in his heart.

Regarding the death of my mother——

It seems like he has completely accepted it.

Arisu Sato looked at Hachiman Anna, whose facial features looked dull.

"What's wrong, Hachiman?"

"Arisu-san...I'm sorry, I didn't know...I mentioned these aspects that made you unhappy."

"Nothing, I don't care anyway."

"Feel sorry......"

I've already told you that it's okay not to apologize.

——Just as I was about to say this, a thought suddenly occurred to me: 'Why does this moment seem familiar?'

Arisu was really confused by this.

"Satou-chan... Hachiman, I need to go to the health room... I don't seem to be feeling well."

Asamura Hanako, who had been holding onto the door frame as if trying hard to endure something, suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

——With a pale face, slightly trembling legs, and even breathing becoming quite difficult, Asamura seemed to be under great torture.

only......

Asamura, who even had difficulty walking, was obviously unable to walk to the health room on his own.

Arisu, who knew this, kept his eyes on Hachiman, who had an apologetic look on his face.

"Hachiman, it was you who decided to drag Asamura into high-intensity exercise, so you should take a little more responsibility from now on."

Arisu opened the sliding door of the classroom in front of him.

He turned around and looked at the two people behind him.

"I'm going to take a nap. If I accidentally fall asleep during math class this afternoon, I'll get into trouble."

---------

In my ears, there is the noisy sound of the wind.

The scent of conditioner seeped into my mind, and the temperature of my skin felt through the fabric was warmer than ever.

"I'm sorry... It's obviously my own health... But I still have to trouble Hachiman-san..."

With her cheek pressed against Hachiman's back, Asamura Hanako watched the scene moving backwards along the road behind her.

Everything feels familiar...

But suddenly a strange feeling arose.

"I am the only one to blame for this. I knew that Asamura was too weak to do sports like running... but I didn't pay attention to these aspects and just did what I wanted. I should be the one to apologize."

"...If there's nothing wrong with my body, there's no need to trouble Hachiman-san."

"Shut up! Asamura, what a fool... If I had said something at that time, I wouldn't have run so fast... I could have easily gotten rid of that guy in his high heels."

“Because I really like this feeling.”

Asamura put his lips close to his ear.

The voice became softer.

"I love running with Hachiman-san... and Sato-chan."

"Huh? Are you going to ignore your body just for such a silly reason? Asamura is such an idiot... If this happens again in the future, I'll let you face it alone."

Why did this strange feeling suddenly arise in my heart...

——Two days ago, he was hoping that the other person would disappear as soon as possible, but now he starts to care about the insignificant things that happened to Asamura.

Is it just because of lack of friends that I think so? I thought he was a bad person before... Even though nothing happened between them, I suddenly changed my opinion of Asamura.

Feeling conflicted, Hachiman's cheeks gradually turned red.

"Ah! Asamura-san is such a bad guy! She's a girl but she's had so many boyfriends and has no intention of taking care of her body. Now she has to come back to take care of such a complete idiot... Such an Asamura is really annoying!"

Hachiman, who was running, spoke out his dissatisfaction freely.

And Asamura on her back gave an embarrassed smile.

"Hate it... Don't say it so bluntly. Because of my physical condition, I have never experienced the things that Hachiman-san imagined... The most explicit thing I have done is just holding hands. Because after learning that my body can't handle that kind of thing... boys don't want to continue dating me, so I am the same as Hachiman-san..."

"I haven't experienced my first night yet..."

---------

The two math classes were declared over. The moment the bell rang, Arisu Sato, who had been lying on the desk without any reaction, suddenly stood up as if she had received some kind of instruction.

At the same time, Hanako Asamura, who was sitting at the next table, also stood up.

"Ah, Sugar-chan, get out of class is over."

Asamura stretched his limbs and looked at Hachiman who was packing his textbooks.

Ok.

I have to thank Sato-chan and Hachiman-san very much.

"Sugar-chan, are you going to attend the club activities this afternoon?"
