I, who advocate giving up, feel like a disqualified person

"Hehe..." She didn't say anything else and read the manual again more carefully.

"Have you found it?" I looked at the time and asked Rinquanchuan casually.

"Oh my, you're so long-winded, could you please be quiet?"

Although the sound is not very loud, it is still very intimidating.

"I was wrong." So I decided to remain silent for the time being.

About two minutes passed before Rinsenkawa answered me.

"Well, I found it."

"Ah... Really..." I said, looking at the manual, "Where are we going..."

"Here." She pointed to a place in the manual.

"Ah...here..."

.....................

“There are rewards, but do you really know how to play shooting games?” I looked at the various stalls at my destination.

"It's not that difficult... just aim."

As expected, he still looks confident...

"Then you can try it." I also picked up a gun and said, "Why don't we see who can hit more targets?"

"Sure, but it would be too boring just to compete. How about we bet on something?" Lin Quanchuan still had a tone that said he would not lose.

"Sure, what's there to bet on?" I didn't think I would definitely lose.

"Hmm..." Rinquanchuan frowned slightly and thought for a moment, "I feel like this proposal is too good for you."

"Really? What can I gain from making a bet?"

"Well, let's compete first. It's not too late to talk about it after we win."

"Oh, okay." Having said this, I glanced at the stall owner who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

................

In fact, this level of shooting game is quite simple.

As long as you aim at the red dot on the balloon, you can almost hit it, except for some accidental factors... such as the balloon is of very good quality and cannot be broken no matter how hard you hit it.

"Here we go. Each person has ten bullets. Whoever hits the most bullets wins."

"Okay..." He said, closing one eye and taking aim.

"Don't regret it when the time comes." I also got ready.

"Bang!" The sound of balloons exploding was first heard at Linquan River.

"Tsk." Not to be outdone, I aimed at the balloon in front of me and pulled the trigger.

"Bang" good, hit it.

"cut..."

Suddenly, Rinquanchuan's disdainful voice rang in my ears.

...Is it necessary to take a game so seriously?

................

"Your shooting skills are pretty good..."

At this time, Rinquanchuan had fired nine bullets, which exploded seven balloons, but I had used up all my bullets and only hit seven balloons, so the winner would depend on Rinquanchuan's last bullet.

"So no matter what we compete in, I will be the winner."

As he spoke, he pulled the trigger.

Although the balloon can be seen moving a little, it did not burst.

It turns out that Rinquanchuan actually came across such a high-quality balloon... Should he be called lucky?

"Oh, it's a draw." I said to Rinquangawa.

"Impossible..." Rinquanchuan looked at me with a dissatisfied expression, "I clearly hit it."

"...Don't worry about things of this magnitude..."

I took the prize from the boss and comforted Rinsenkawa.

"Look, the stall owner gave you a prize based on hitting eight, so you won."

I handed her the prize: a stuffed teddy bear.

"Huh..." She seemed a little bit unable to let it go, and just took the prize I handed to her.

"Okay, what should we play next...ah, there are only a few dozen minutes left..." I looked around.

"Hey, Rinsenkawa." I said to Rinsenkawa who was in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Oh, what's going on?"

"Well, although the effect would be better at night, but time is a bit tight... Let's go take that one."

I pointed to the Ferris wheel not far away.

"Hey?"

..................

Two people are alone together, and they are of the opposite sex.

I finally understood what caused Rinsenkawa's momentary hesitation. After all, this kind of thing...ah...I didn't notice it earlier...

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Hey." Lin Quanchuan's words slightly broke the stiff atmosphere.

"What?" I responded.

"...Honestly, do you think I'm a boring guy?"

Seeing that Lin Quanchuan still had a normal expression, I was not sure whether this sentence was a routine.

"Why do you ask?" I hesitated for a moment and decided to give it a try first.

"Because... well, that's it..." Rinquanchuan's tone suddenly became a little nervous, and then he seemed angry again, "Ah, forget it, I won't ask you anymore."

What is this... The topic was ended inexplicably.

"Well... following up on your question, I think... it's okay."

I scratched my cheek unconsciously...

"Is that so... hum..."

I don’t know if he’s angry...his temper is really hard to understand.

"Let's not talk about this anymore... Look, we're slowly rising." I said, pointing out the window and changing the subject.

"Wow..." Still with a calm expression.

"You don't seem very interested..."

"Not really..." She sighed, "I just don't think there's anything surprising."

“It’s still the same…” I thought, “But at night, the view would be very different.”

"...Even if it looks different, it's still the same. It's just boring."

"ha..."

How can we have a conversation if this goes on? Rinquanchuan is simply a topic terminator. No wonder no one talks to her, because no matter what they talk about, they will be interrupted by the word "boring".

"Boring?... A lot of things are boring, really. Some people think video games are boring, but we don't think so. It's because they provide a kind of comfort."

"...Hmm...Is that so..."

From the tone of voice, it doesn't sound like he's against it...

"Also, the night view of this city is indeed very different from what it is now."

"...Suit yourself." Rinquanchuan took out his phone and checked the time. "It's getting late. I'll be leaving as soon as we land."

"Um...what are you going to do?"

"All sorts of things... Do you think everyone has so much free time on Sundays like you do?"

"....Forehead...."

That's true...but it still hurts to say it.

"Well...it's none of my business after all. So I'll tell you in advance [take care]."

"...Hmm? [Take care]? Why not [Goodbye]?"

"...It's just a personal habit."

"Oh, is that so..." Rinquanchuan said with a look of disbelief, "Well... then I'll also say 'take care' in advance."

.............

When you say goodbye... you just can't be happy.

People often use the word "goodbye" when saying goodbye...but it turns out that it is difficult to say goodbye.

Whether it is elementary school or middle school, it is important to say blessings to each other at graduation and embark on your own life.

And "goodbye" is also the most heard word.

But even though we say goodbye, the fact is that it is difficult to meet again.

If not being able to see each other again when parting is a regret, then making a wish to see each other again but not having it come true is even more sad than regret.

And when I realized this, I stopped using the word "goodbye" lightly.

Instead, it is [Take care].

Whether we meet again or not, this is a blessing. If we can't meet again, this is also a kind of comfort to my heart...even if it's only a little.

................

"Did you have a good time today?"

We were chatting while waiting for the car to pick her up at Rinquan River.

"I can only say that it feels okay..." Rinquanchuan said, glancing at the doll and the book, "I wouldn't mind coming a few more times."

"Hey... let's wait for the next opportunity."

"......" did not answer me, but looked into the distance.

I stopped talking and just watched the traffic and people coming and going in the distance.

"Hey, besides me, you've ever hung out with other people, right?"

"Ah... yes... after all, someone will invite me..."
