What does it have to do with me if they hate vests?

When she thought of this, Kato Megumi couldn't help feeling relieved.

"When we start running later, squad leader, you can run as fast as you can. Don't worry about me, okay?" At this time, Si Ji whispered to her softly again.

"Why did Washimiya-san say something like that during the three-legged race, which sounded like the lines said by the sacrificial character in the movie..."

The girl complained helplessly: "This is a two-person sport. Like you said, it's not okay no matter how you think about it, right?"

"No, although you may not believe it, it's really okay, squad leader, just run."

But Si Ji didn't care about it. He just smiled and said it without any nervousness in his tone. But because of this, it sounded more like a joke.

Kato Megumi wanted to say something else, but at this moment, the starting gun sounded.

The girl immediately rushed out of the starting line.

Because she had never practiced before, she subconsciously followed the method of another event she participated in, the women's 300-meter race. She did not need to reincarnate into another world and showed her true skills from the beginning.

But the moment she took a step, she regretted it and prepared herself mentally to be tripped by Si Ji.

After all, she ran quite fast, and now she moved so suddenly - she and Si Ji hadn't even discussed whether to take the left leg or the right leg first, and at the moment she ran out, even she herself forgot whether to take the left leg or the right leg first.

It would be strange if he didn't fall down and end up in a mess in this situation.

However, the fall she was waiting for did not happen. She was even unable to feel the leg that was tied to Si Ji for a moment, and she easily left the other contestants far behind.

I just felt the strength and warmth in the hands holding each other, and I could understand that the two of them were still tied together.

Why is this so? How did this mysterious Washimiya manage to run with his left and right feet in completely opposite directions, but with the same pace and rhythm?

This is incredible!

Chapter 353 Bonfire

Kato Megumi thought of every possibility—a normal loss, a tragic defeat, a tragic defeat after falling down, and being sent to the health room without even being able to lose after falling down...

But she never expected that she and Washimiya Shiki, a team that had never trained even once, could actually win the competition, and not just a victory by a slight advantage, but an undisputed victory.

This is not difficult to understand. After all, a person running normally is definitely faster than two people with their feet tied together.

It is true that her feet were tied together with Shiki's, but she didn't feel that way at all when they actually ran. The other party's cooperation with her was perfect, so much so that she didn't feel any interference from Shiki until she crossed the finish line. Even if Shiki was replaced by another herself, Kato Megumi felt that it would be impossible to cooperate so perfectly. After all, a person's running pace and speed are definitely not fixed.

The girl just took the medal blankly, with a look of being unable to accept it.

It seemed that for the first time, everyone in the class focused their attention on this class monitor who usually had a lack of presence.

Because each grade will determine the winning class based on the number of awards received, every championship is extremely precious. Shiki's class is not a strong sports class, and before Shiki and Kato Megumi's three-legged race, the best result was only second place, so their victory achieved a leap from 0 to 1 for the entire class, which can be regarded as a milestone progress.

So the girls in the class exchanged glances, then rushed forward and threw Kato Megumi high into the air, causing the unprepared girl to scream in surprise, which formed a sharp contrast with her usual calm demeanor.

"The monitor is a girl, you boys shouldn't get close to her!"

Because of her victory, Kato Megumi was noticed to be actually very cute, which naturally attracted some boys who wanted to take advantage of the situation, but they were all driven away by the alert girls in the class.

However, because of this, the boys decided to do the same thing and throw another hero high up into the air - of course, whether he would be caught or not was another matter. After all, no one knew whether the credit of helping the class get rid of the 0-win rate in their hearts could offset the guilt of sticking close to the cute girl.

But when they turned back to look for him, they found that Si Ji had left here at some point and disappeared somewhere unknown.

Only Kato Megumi, who was thrown high into the air, took a quick glance and saw Shiki and Yamada Fairy leave and run to the other side of the playground.

That was the scene of the bread-eating race, and by the time Si Ji and the others arrived, it was already too late.

Except for Oosaka Taiga, who had just recovered from puberty syndrome and whose appetite finally returned to normal but still had a big appetite, all the other runners were knocked over by the hanging rainbow bread, fell to the ground in pain and lost consciousness.

When Shiki and Yamada the Fairy rushed over, what they saw was a scene of mountains of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

The student union member in charge of supervision hurriedly ran onto the track to check on the physical conditions of the runners. After confirming that there was no major problem and that it seemed that the bread stick was stuck in his throat, he breathed a sigh of relief and told other student union members, "Go get some clean water... What, we're out of mineral water? Is there anything else we can use? 100% pure peach juice? Forget it, let's just use this!"

He seemed to hear someone whispering not far away, "Sanae's bread is not that bad... What? You also put that Miss Akiko's jam?! ... No, it's nothing, I'm just praying for those unlucky children."

I feel like all the contestants in this competition are a bit unlucky.

Fortunately, Oosaka Taiga was not defeated by the bread. After finishing the race, he calmly came to the audience seats and sat next to Shiki with a burning gaze.

"How does it taste?" Si Ji asked curiously, looking at the bread in the other person's hand that seemed to be emitting a rainbow-colored halo.

"Normally." Oosaka Taiga answered vaguely, "My tongue and throat hurt a little when I eat it... It's not spicy, but painful."

The four seasons suddenly became clear.

Even Oosaka Taiga, who had an extraordinary physique, said so, so he naturally had no intention of getting one to try.

Hope those players are okay.

Shiki clasped his hands together and prayed sincerely.

The three-legged race and the bread-eating race were relatively late events in the competition. After they were over, the only events left were some class group competitions such as relay races and equestrian battles.

Without the participation of the four seasons, his class naturally ended up in complete defeat. If it weren't for the three-legged race, they would probably have been placed last in the ranking, which meant they had to fight for first place while maintaining second place.

Shiki didn't care about it. He was not the kind of person who liked to be competitive like Natsume Makuryu. He even thought that this was a better thing.

As the speakers began to play music similar to an ED, somewhat lonely and depressing, it announced the end of the sports festival.

To be honest, this sports festival can only be considered mediocre for the four seasons. In terms of quality alone, it is probably ranked last among all the sports festivals held in Toyogasaki so far.

The main reason is that time is too tight, because each event and each grade only competes once, so there are many situations that cannot be taken care of in time, and the psychological pressure on students is also very high. Siji has seen students fail miserably due to a gap that is almost a mistake, and they don’t even have a chance to make up. They couldn’t hold back their tears on the spot, which made people feel sad.

Although most of the sports festivals in Toyogasaki in the past have adopted this model, those that have received better reviews mostly divided the sports festival into two parts, held over two days, so that there was ample time to hold various competitions. In some cases, the ball games were directly separated from the sports festival and turned into an independent event.

However, this time the student union is obviously not as strong as before in terms of courage and financial resources. In addition, Amakusa Shino wanted to hold a bonfire party, so they chose such a rushed competition method.

"If those students knew that the sports festival was rushed because you wanted to save time and money for the bonfire party, they would definitely be very dissatisfied."

Shiki found Amakusa Shino who was directing the student council members to build a bonfire and said to her.

"It doesn't matter. Even if they don't know, they will be very dissatisfied with this sports festival." Amakusa Shino said calmly: "I will compensate them."

"Is it really okay to go to this extent for a folk dance at a bonfire party?" Si Ji couldn't help but ask.

“It’s worth it to me.”

As they were talking, the student union members who were in charge of carrying the things had already built the shape of the bonfire.

They arranged the wood from the timber supplier contacted by Siji into a tic-tac-toe shape, and filled the small area in the middle with firewood.

It's just that it's obvious that children of that era had never made a fire, so the firewood was stacked neatly and artistically. But for those who have experience in this area, they will naturally find the problem - if you want the flame to be more vigorous, you can't stack the firewood neatly, you must leave a lot of gaps in it to allow air to enter. Otherwise, after the outer layer is burned, the remaining firewood will smolder or even go out due to lack of circulating air and oxygen.

So Si Ji had to step forward and help them rearrange the pile of firewood, making it easier to ignite and with a strong fire after it was lit. Some of them had a shape similar to an inverted bird's nest.

At the same time, those parents who really wanted to leave also heard the instructions on the radio and knew that there would be a grand bonfire party after everything was over.

This is when the differences between parents come into play.

A small number of parents chose to take their children home directly. After all, only God knows when the bonfire party will end. They can't just go to bed as late as it lasts, right?

Among the remaining parents, quite a number of them chose to attend the bonfire party with their children, wanting to see what the bonfire party in school would look like.

I don’t know whether the last group of parents were more sensible or simply lazier, but they chose to go home and let their children go back by themselves after the bonfire party.

Perhaps they also knew that at bonfire parties, some sweet and sour youth stories were most likely to happen. If they stayed here as parents, it would only make the students feel embarrassed and shy, and they would not be able to face their hearts honestly. Not to mention the sweet and sour youth, they probably wouldn't even have enough courage to find someone to dance with...

"It's time to light the fire!"

Following an order from Amakusa Shino, the bonfire was lit. Because they were worried that there might be problems with the ignition process, the student union members had poured a little gasoline on the firewood and stuffed some alcohol blocks in the gaps.

Now it seems that the effect is very good. As soon as the torch used to ignite the fire is thrown in, it will not take long before a flame jumps out from the firewood and rises high, like a giant cobra dancing to the music. It looks quite amazing.

Some students who got too close even felt the heat wave immediately. Some of the fearless ones who wanted to barbecue on the spot with marshmallow skewers they got from somewhere were directly driven away by the student union members.

So the bonfire party officially began in such an atmosphere.

Chapter 354 Folk Dance

Fengzhiqi is one of the few schools that has many financial backers and a strong financial backer like Maple Leaf Technology. It can be considered a wealthy school. The playground is naturally equipped with strong lights. When the lights are fully turned on, the brightness is almost the same as during the day.

But I don’t know if it was to cater to the atmosphere of the bonfire party, but at this time, except for a few street lamps at the exit that emitted dim orange-red lights, all other lights on the playground were not turned on. All the light came from the leaping bonfire in the center of the playground.

It’s May now and some small summer bugs have begun to appear. From time to time, you can see moths and the like rushing into the fire, making barely detectable crackling sounds.

The speakers around the playground, which were usually used only to play the soundtrack for radio gymnastics, now emitted soft and soothing music. These were original works by some vocal music clubs in the school that had been recorded before the sports festival.

Although there is still a long way to go to achieve excellence, at this moment, the slightly immature arrangement and the slightly flawed performance allow people to experience the wonderful feeling of being on campus both physically and mentally.

Si Ji stood at the edge of the playground. Unlike the students who were enjoying themselves, his perspective was closer to the parents around him who did not leave.

Even though he usually walked around the campus as a student and attended classes like a real student, all this was just an appearance.

Having already experienced adulthood, he can no longer return to the mentality of being a student. I guess the same is true for the parents around him. Although everyone misses their student days, if they really go back to that era, I am afraid they will not be able to spend the innocent time without worries except for trivial matters such as grades and homework...

He closed his eyes and tried to recall the past, his real childhood, but those memories seemed to have been dissolved in the long river of time along with the miracle of two lives. At this moment, he couldn't even remember the name of his desk mate, who his most hated teacher was, or who his favorite person was during his school days.

Only clumps of white, blurry mist remained, floating in his memories, with beauty tinged with loneliness and sadness.

Suddenly, he felt a cool touch on his forehead.

Shiki opened his eyes and found that the Yamada fairy was standing on tiptoe, rubbing his forehead with her white and tender hands, her face full of uncontrollable worry.

"What's wrong?" Four Seasons asked.

"I should be the one asking this question."

The girl sighed and looked at Si Ji with some heartache: "Your expression just now looked so lonely, as if you would disappear from this world at any time..."

That's why she couldn't help but reach out and rub Si Ji's forehead, trying to smooth out his frown that seemed like he was enduring something.

"If you encounter any troubles or sad things, you can tell me, the great fairy lady will definitely help you!" The girl said in a somewhat arrogant tone, but her expression was extremely gentle: "If you are really uncomfortable, you can act like a spoiled child to me~"

The bonfire spread its flames, falling on her face. The warm light made the girl's already gentle eyebrows and eyes even softer.

Si Ji suddenly felt that most of the heavy feelings in his heart disappeared at once.

Although he could not remember much about his past life, and might even forget his own name after a while, but at least he was sure that in that world, at least at that time, there was no such beautiful girl by his side.

So Si Ji let out a long sigh, as if he had poured out all the troubles in his heart, and his expression returned to his usual calm look.

"Don't worry, boys feel heavy-hearted for one or two days every month."

Yamada Fairy thought that this guy was making a joke again, so he looked at Shiki with his cute dead fish eyes, trying to find some clues from his face, but in the end found nothing.

So the girl could only sigh: "Although there are many things I can complain about your words, let's forget about it today."

She put her hands on her hips, changed her gentleness just now, and said in a slightly coquettish tone: "So, dear landlord, should you say something to this fairy lady in front of you now~"

Upon hearing this, Si Ji also spoke seriously.

"There are grains of rice stuck to the corners of your mouth."

"Well……"

The girl hurriedly wiped her mouth but failed to wipe it off.

So Si Ji reached out his hand, gently wiped the corner of her beautiful mouth, and put the rice grains into his mouth. Then he bowed like a true gentleman and said, "Excuse me, little lady, are you interested in dancing with me?"

"'Tiny' is superfluous!"

The girl said dissatisfiedly, but she didn't know if it was because of shyness or the bonfire, her face was flushed.

She reached out and took Shiki's hand, and then the two of them came to the bonfire and danced like the other students who were dancing around the bonfire.

There are no specific requirements for folk dance itself, as long as you can hold each other and spin in circles, you can dance it.

However, when Shiki was Qiu Ling Bunpei, she had participated in many dinners with dancing segments, and Yamada Yaojing, as the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, had also learned dancing, so the two of them danced in a ballroom dance style by the campfire very tacitly.

It was clearly just an ordinary dance, but the leisurely and elegant posture made people around them couldn't help but look at it sideways - Si Ji felt that it was probably because the other students around them danced so badly, which shows how important it is to have a group of qualified supporting actors.

When the song ended, the Yamada fairy looked as if she was still unsatisfied. But before she could ask Shiki to take her to dance again, Oosaka Taiga had already arrived beside them.

She seemed to find folk dance very interesting and wanted to try it.

The Yamada fairy looked at Oosaka Taiga hesitantly, and did not see anything wrong in the other's eyes, as if he was really just interested in the folk dance itself. But the Yamada fairy did not want to hand over Shiki just like that.

So after thinking for a moment, the girl suddenly changed her expression, drove Shiki away, and then jumped up with Oosaka Taiga with an unwilling look on her face.

As a result, the two little ones looked so adorable while dancing that their dance attracted more attention than when they danced with Four Seasons just now...

Just when Shiki was considering whether to go out for something to eat, Kato Megumi suddenly came to him and invited him to dance with her.

Chapter 355: Fireworks

There was good reason to dance, to celebrate their three-legged victory.

Shiki thought about it and felt that it didn't matter, so she danced with Kato Megumi.
