Ordinary I and Extraordinary Them

After all, failing to get her home, I reluctantly admitted to studying in my room.

When I push the maple into my room, which I hear many times about my relationship with Kirasaka, I make sure the room isn't dirty, just in case.

Having made sure that there was nowhere else to clean, I headed to the living room to call Beautiful Lusaka, who was waiting in the separate room.

"What are you looking at?

Beautiful Luosaka, who was in the living room, took a picture of it decorated in a place and watched it as it ate in.

"I was just wondering... you were playing football"

"... when I was in middle school, the school had to semi-force me into the club, and I joined the soccer club I'd been playing for a long time."

I answer questions with light treats and drinks to eat while I'm studying.

"Then why don't you do it in high school? It's a sport that's been around for a long time, isn't it?

At the end of her gaze, a number of trophies and awards decorated with photographs were arranged.

For nine years from elementary school to junior high school, the memorabilia sent to me when I won numerous tournaments featured the team name and my name in the masterpiece.

"How many of those games did you think I was in?

"... maybe half?

To the abrupt question from me, she gave a slight thought to her gaze in the upper right corner, and answered that.

I shook my head to the side for that answer, pointing out some awards from more than twenty rows.

"Three, three in nine years"

"So little? Could it have been bad?

"If you're that bad, you won't do it for nine years... you certainly weren't an excellent player, but you must have had a lot of skill... I'd like to think so"

I laugh bitterly at the words of Beautiful Lusaka, who hears the answers to questions and hits honest thoughts.

But I didn't feel strange and disgusted to be honest with you about your thoughts without being weirdly distracted.

"One of the top seniors was a very strong team."

When I prepare the sweets and drinks, I put them on the table and I walk over to her.

"Most of the regulars have been sophomores since I was admitted to junior high, and the guy who was an ace in our grade is enough to finally be a regular in three years. Most of the awards here are just grades made by seniors, because elementary school was low on tournaments and stuff."

I take pictures of the team I took during my retirement game in junior high and sit on the couch.

When Kirasaka sat next to her in the same way, she told her to miss her junior high school years, which she hadn't remembered in a long time.

"I've been passionate about clubs without a pattern since my senior retired and our grade finally became the main member, because everyone, including me, couldn't make it to the game. So, as the main player was fixed a little bit, I just removed it from the members and a junior entered where it was my position."

…………

Now I looked sideways at Kirasaka, who never pinched a word on my story, and I kept talking.

"I'm better off growing taller now, but I was smaller in middle school."

I do my hand over my head and put in a flickering gesture.

"It's certainly not that big of a deal."

"... so the director told me," I can't let you out because I'm low height "... plus there were other guys who were worse than me in other positions, but they said," I have to be left-handed over there, "or," I prefer guys with faster feet than you, "and when I realized it, I was the only one removed from the membership in three years"

I breathed one loud breath as I shifted my gaze from the photograph to the ceiling and played the sight back into my brain at the time.

"... it's sport to decide winning or losing with a limited number of people, I know it's not equal. But hard work, years, even with skill, can't beat someone with a" special ”... the heat suddenly cools down when you understand that simple thing. Well, here's why we don't play football."

When I got up off the couch and put the photo back in position, I opened the living room door with the drinks and treats I had prepared in my hand.

"And, well, that's it for the old story, is it time to start studying? You're gonna do it in my room, right?

"... well, I originally came to study in your room, Makoto. And that was an interesting conversation, could I hear your old story again next time?

If you feel like it.

I respond appropriately and when I wait for Kirosaka to rise, I take her to my room.

Well, even if I said I was headed there, I'd just walk for about ten seconds.

When I left the living room, I finally shifted my gaze to the middle school photo, but I had to laugh small and bitter that I had already regretted and regretted that I no longer felt fine dust.

Before entering my room, I informed Kirasaka beforehand of my promise to study.

"Look, I have two promises to make in studying in my room. Don't say anything else about this, and don't find my room."

"It's okay, I promise."

Hearing her clean reply, I slowly opened the door and invited her into my room.

A simple room with a TV on the bed, a smaller table, and a standing PC next to the study desk.

When she sits on a seat futon with Kyoro Kyoro looking over the room, she puts the material out on the table.

The familiar sound of ping-pong informing visitors sounds in the house as she prepares herself by spreading the materials she also brought with her on the table.

"You're a customer, don't you have to leave?

"I think my sister's coming out now, so it's okay"

As I expected, I heard footsteps running down the hallway from the adjacent room, so I left the response of the visitors to the maple, and we started studying tests.

I heard the doorway open over the wall, and I was clearing my ears as I dropped my gaze on the problem set I had just widened...

"Shizuku-san! Good morning!

The visitor whom Maple welcomed was Shizukushi Kanzaki, a close friend of Minoru Kurasaka and the dog monkey in front of him.
