"If you didn't do anything, would Sakayanagi suddenly change so drastically? I don't believe it! She never went to places like the playground before, let alone did something so dangerous!"
"Dangerous action?"
"You didn't know? Sakayanagi actually said she wanted to try taking bigger steps, maybe she could walk faster!"
Kamuro couldn't help but get angry when he said this: "Is she an idiot?! This just turned into running. Doesn't she know what's going on with her body?! Really, she's so willful even at this age!"
Hikigaya: "..."
Hikigaya's eyes were a little evasive, because he realized that it seemed to be his own problem, so he told Kamuro what happened that day.
Kamuro was unexpectedly silent.
"Kamiro, I don't know if you've noticed Sakayanagi. Sometimes, the more you desire something, the more you tend to avoid it. Sakayanagi was in the stands those few days, and I vaguely sensed a certain yearning hidden in her eyes."
Sakayanagi came to the stands for several days in a row. Not only did he come for Hikigaya, but he also probably wanted to find an excuse to come to the playground.
"Kamimuro, do you know what is most important to a person with a physical disability?"
"Other people's eyes?"
Hikigaya nodded, but then shook his head. "The attention and gazes of those around her do have an impact. Everyone's intentionally avoiding her flaws. Doesn't Sakayanagi know this? Actually... rather than avoiding their flaws, I think they probably long to be treated as normal people."
Of course, avoiding the other person's physical defects is a form of respect and the best way to avoid hurting the other person.
In a sense, avoidability itself is actually a form of discrimination.
There is no right or wrong in these two methods, and neither is better or worse.
"Hikigaya, why do you know so much?"
Kamuro was confused.
"Hmm... I guess I have a similar friend, the older sister of my former junior high school classmate."
As soon as Hikigaya finished speaking, he noticed Kamuro's face across from him was very strange: "Hey, what's with that expression? Can't I have a schoolmate?"
"Hey, how do you know what I'm thinking?"
"Nonsense, you're almost writing your true feelings on your face!"
"Tsk!"
"You just smacked your lips!"
"Things are finally clear, I'm leaving now!"
After saying that, Kamuro stood up and left, not giving Hikigaya any time to react.
……
In the blink of an eye, it is October and the annual sports festival has officially begun.
At the opening ceremony, surprisingly, it was not the student council president Horikita Manabu who gave the speech, but a student named Fujimaki from Class 3A. Hikigaya stood in the square belonging to the Red Team. It is worth mentioning that the Red Team is composed of Class A and Class D from three grades, while the White Team is composed of Class B and Class C from three grades.
The victory of the large group is not decided by just one grade, but by the total score of three grades.
At the same time, there were scattered outsiders in the stands around, who seemed to be staff members near the school. The school was also equipped with medical staff and the staff was very complete. Amid the applause of the crowd, the sports festival officially began.
10
Chapter 10: Men should be loyal.
After the sports festival officially started, Hikigaya discovered that the school's staff and equipment were very professional and complete, even equipped with high-speed cameras.
If the sports festival is considered an exam, then it is undoubtedly a physical exam that tests students' physical and athletic abilities. Class A, which usually has high academic abilities, and Class B have less advantages. On the contrary, many students in Class C and Class D have average academic abilities but are not bad at all in athletic abilities.
Therefore, the school's allocation of the red group and the white group this time is also very particular.
For Class D, many students with potential were identified during the swimming class at the beginning of the school year. Kouenji, Sudo, Hirata and others were all outstanding. On the female side, there were Horikita and Onodera who joined the swimming club.
However, Koenji is not controllable and it is difficult for him to form an effective combat force. As for Sudo, he is not in good condition due to the impact of Ike's expulsion and the peeping and voyeurism incident. This is a big blow to Class D.
Various competitions were carried out one after another. Because the number of students in the entire school was not very large, and with the help of professional staff, each competition was carried out in an orderly manner. After a while, Hikigaya heard the broadcast reminding students participating in the three-legged race to report.
Because the three-legged race in the team competition has class restrictions, basically each team is composed of students from two classes.
"Hikigaya-kun, you're so late!"
As soon as they met, Ichinose couldn't help but complain. It seemed like a complaint, but actually she was joking. However, the students around who didn't know anything about it looked at Hikigaya with hatred.
Even though he is teaming up with the famous Ichinose in the grade to form a three-legged team, Hikigaya looks like he doesn't care at all. This is really abominable!
Of course, most of the students who cried out in their hearts were from Class B and Class C, because the students in these two classes knew the "horror" of the dead fish eyes in front of them.
Hikigaya and Ichinose were placed in Group 7, which consisted of 8 teams. The top three teams would advance to the next round.
While waiting, Ichinose suddenly said, "Hikigaya-kun, please, don't worry about it. I'm fine."
"But……"
You have no problem, but I do!
Hikigaya smiled bitterly.
At this moment, Ichinose suddenly came in front of Hikigaya and looked directly into Hikigaya's eyes, and the atmosphere suddenly became strange.
"Ok."
Hikigaya sighed. Since Ichinose on the other side didn't care, it wouldn't make sense for him to keep wasting time. He could only suppress the guilt of 'taking advantage of girls' as much as possible.
Ichinose nodded expressionlessly, then squatted down and began to tie him up, and finally the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
Soon it was the turn of Hikigaya and Ichinose. Before the referee called for preparation, Ichinose's body was already pressed against him. The girl passed her arm through Hikigaya's arm and they hugged each other tightly. Because he was wearing a sports short-sleeved shirt, for a moment, Hikigaya only felt a soft marshmallow-like feeling on his arm, and he was stunned on the spot as if he had been electrocuted.
"Hikigaya-kun, are you okay?"
Ichinose asked with concern.
"fine."
Hikigaya had a blank expression on his face, but the stiffness of his body betrayed the boy's inner thoughts. Ichinose naturally felt it clearly.
"It's okay."
Ichinose replied as if he didn't care, but what Hikigaya didn't notice was that Ichinose's ears turned red after she said this.
As the game started, Hikigaya and Ichinose quickly raised their feet. Surprisingly, the two who had been bumping into each other during the practice phase were unexpectedly in sync during the game.
"Hikigaya-kun, Hikigaya-kun!!!"
Suddenly, Hikigaya saw Ichinose in front of him, smiling excitedly: "We won!!"
"Won?"
“Yeah, we were the first to cross the finish line!!!”
Ichinose seemed very happy now. She grabbed Hikigaya's wrists with both hands and smiled excitedly without even untying the straps on her feet.
Huh? How did I win?!
All Hikigaya could think of were balls of marshmallows, and when he came to his senses, he found that he had already crossed the finish line first!
After that, they overcame all obstacles and made it to the finals, and even achieved a good result of second place. It can be said that this result completely exceeded their initial expectations.
Even Hirata couldn't help but come over to praise them: "Hikigaya-san and Ichinose-san's teamwork is amazing! I feel like if they hadn't fallen behind a little at the start, they might have won the championship!"
Hikigaya was completely dazed until now. Wasn't he here to slack off? How did he get second place for no apparent reason?
Soon Ichinose realized that their posture was a bit awkward, so she pretended to be calm, said goodbye to Hikigaya, and left quickly.
At this time, Hirata came over and patted Hikigaya on the shoulder: "Hikigaya-san, although it is not appropriate for me, an outsider, to interrupt, I believe that men should be loyal."
"what?"
Hikigaya was confused. Hirata, what's wrong with you?
"Kushida-san and Ichinose-san are both good girls, don't make them sad."
After saying that, Hirata left, leaving Hikigaya disheveled in the wind.
After the three-legged race, the women's obstacle course race will follow.
"I remember Horikita seemed to be participating in the competition."
Hikigaya also watched the women's obstacle race. Unlike the 100-meter race which was purely a test of speed, the obstacle race had to take many situations into consideration. Although Horikita had excellent athletic ability and brains, she could only rank second. The first place went to Yajima Mariko from Class C, followed closely by Kiminori Kimura. Both of them were students from Class C and members of the track and field team. It could be said that they were both very strong.
In the final 50 meters of the sprint, Hikigaya noticed that Horikita suddenly turned around to look at Muxia and Minori behind her. It was this action that caused Muxia to catch up with her. The next second, the two of them fell to the ground together!
The third place in Chapter 2 was suddenly given up to someone else and became the last one.
However, it seemed that Kimino Kimino had injured her ankle. Then Horikita came back. When Horikita saw Hikigaya, she was slightly stunned and her eyes subconsciously avoided for some reason.
"Horikita, are you hurt?"
"No, no!"
Horikita finally understood that she was afraid that her injury would be discovered by Hikigaya in front of her, or in other words... she didn't want him to see her weak side, even though it had been seen clearly in the obstacle course just now.
11
Chapter 11 An unexpected commotion.
"You, what are you doing!"
Suddenly, Horikita's expression changed drastically, because Hikigaya was squatting down to grab her ankle, but the next second, she felt a piercing pain in her ankle that made her gasp.
"hiss!"
"He's injured indeed."
There was something wrong with Horikita's walking posture just now, just as Hikigaya guessed.
At this time, Hirata, Kushida and others also rushed to check the situation. After seeing Hikigaya checking Horikita's injuries, Kushida's expression became inexplicably gloomy.
Sudo also arrived late. After learning that Horikita's ankle was injured, Sudo hurried to persuade her, but Horikita shook her head and said that it was just a minor problem and she could still hold on.
"Go to the infirmary. Don't delay any longer. You will be disqualified from all subsequent events!"
Hikigaya said seriously.
"I, I can still..."
Horikita suddenly stopped talking in the middle of her words because she also felt the unquestionable tone of Hikigaya. After staring at Hikigaya for a few seconds, she couldn't help but look away and nodded.
Sudo, who was standing by, felt something explode in his head when he saw this scene. His eyes were red. He was already furious because of the conflict with Ryuuen during the previous game. At the same time, Hikigaya was the culprit who caused Ike to be expelled from school, himself and others to be suspended, and who had been looked down upon by many students when he returned. Now, he was doing this to the girl he liked...
Sudo only felt his heart beating violently, and an unprecedented anger suddenly surged into his heart, like a wooden barrel filled with gunpowder suddenly exploding!
Sudo suddenly grabbed Hikigaya's collar and roared angrily: "What was your attitude towards Suzu and Horikita just now?!"
Sudo's sudden action startled everyone around him, but Hikigaya, the person involved, remained calm, even a little indifferent: "Let go! And apologize!"
"Asshole! It's all because of you that Kanji got expelled from school. And what did you do to Suzune just now!!!"
Sudo roared with a ferocious look on his face, as if he had finally found an opportunity to vent the resentment and anger that had been suppressed in his heart for some time.
"I don't have the habit of saying things twice."
Hikigaya's tone was icy.
"Sudou, what are you doing? Let Hikigaya go!"
Horikita's expression changed drastically and she shouted hurriedly.
"asshole!!!"
Sudo, who was already burning with rage, completely lost his mind when he heard Horikita was still defending Hikigaya. He raised his fist and was ready to hit Hikigaya in the face!
But the next second, Hirata's figure stood between the two of them, and Sudo's fist hit Hirata directly in the face. If Hikigaya behind him had not quickly hugged Hirata, he would have fallen directly to the ground, but the corner of Hirata's mouth was already broken and began to bleed!
This unexpected situation also made the students around him exclaim in surprise. After seeing that he had injured Hirata, Sudo seemed to finally come to his senses. He said in a panic, "You went towards my fist yourself," and fled the scene.
The news that Sudo had injured Hirata spread throughout Class D. Many people had originally had high expectations for Sudo because of his performance in the sports festival, but now all their expectations were gone. In addition, he had already been looked down upon and ostracized because of the peeping incident, and now he suddenly attacked and injured Hirata, the most respected person in the class. All of a sudden, both boys and girls were filled with indignation, shouting that they would report Sudo to the teacher and punish him!
But Hirata was still Hirata after all. He quickly stopped everyone's actions and suppressed their dissatisfaction, saying that now was not the time to pursue such matters, and that the sports festival was more important at the moment.
In the end, the matter seemed to be temporarily resolved, but any discerning person could see the hidden dangers. Moreover, because of this incident, Sudo, as a major force in the D Class Sports Festival, is expected to be greatly affected in subsequent competitions. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Class D.
"Hirata, I'll accompany you to the infirmary."
"Hikigaya-kun, you, don't blame Sudou-kun. I believe he was just impulsive. You..."
But Hirata stopped talking halfway because Hikigaya's expression opposite him was so cold that it seemed very unfamiliar to him.
