Guitar, loneliness and the blue sea

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw a girl with purple hair standing in the middle of the court.

"Who is that?"

"Ah, she was the second female contestant!" No one remembered, only Chisa Furategawa remembered.

There is a saying that the girls from Izu University are not very good in terms of appearance alone.

If the schools where Kasumigaoka Yusuke attended high school held a competition like this, the fight would be so intense that no matter who wins in the end, it will be a miserable victory.

But in Izu, the No. 2 female competitor is just an ordinary passerby.

The passers-by mentioned here are not the kind of passers-by that make people dream and cannot extricate themselves, but the real passers-by without names.

"Sa, that's right! I'm curious, why doesn't MissContest champion Goto Kazuri play?"

That girl showed no fear in the gaze of everyone in PaB. She was obviously President TB's right-hand man and a high-status figure.

"She'll get there later." Furutagawa Nanaka said with a smile.

"Hmph, I think she's just hiding. Obviously she's not good at sports." The woman smiled sarcastically, "Originally, she always wore sportswear, and I thought the beauty pageant winner would be a sports general, but it turned out that she was always wearing sportswear. Not at all. He was sitting in a trash can next to the stadium, looking like a potted plant."

With a pop, Little Boqi's heart was pierced.

"Yes, yes...I'm sorry...I'm a potted plant..."

Everyone gritted their teeth.

Although it hurts, it seems to be true?

"A person with such no vitality can still be the number one female competitor... Oh, are everyone blind? Are you stupid from reading too many books?" She then said to herself.

Look, the sourness is beyond words!

Isn't it because the votes overwhelmingly defeated you and no one remembers your name?

So anxious.

"Well, there's nothing you can do about it, I'm better-looking than you." Imamura Kohei retorted.

"Ah, and she can play the guitar." Iori Kitahara agreed, "Are you comparing it to other aspects?"

"Huh? That's totally wrong."

The purple-haired girl became excited when she mentioned this.

"Let me tell you, aren't you a diving club? Let's call it a sports club, right? If you want to play music, how about going to a rock club? It's not like there is no such thing. Of course, the tennis match that was promised cannot be better than anything else. After all, in the final analysis After all, isn’t it strange that there are people in sports clubs who have no motor skills at all?”

"Whether she has motor nerves is none of your business?" Kasumigaoka Yusuke blinked and asked with a calm expression.

The other party still had a joking look on his face.

"It's better to keep it closed. After all, I really want to play a game with her. It's boring like this now."

As she said this, she raised her racket toward the trash can with bright eyes.

"Goto Ichisato! Come on! Let us see what you can do!"

Everyone's eyes turned to Pochi involuntarily.

She shivered in the trash can, not daring to say anything.

Things suddenly became troublesome.

"That's too much! Who are you? You don't have the right to designate your opponent, do you?!" Ichichi Hongxia stood up angrily.

"No, I'm just inviting her to compete with me." The other party spread his hands, "If she is too timid to compete, then I don't care."

"You are bullying!" Aina shouted, "Poch...she just can't play ball!"

"By the way, are you worthy of fighting her? You also know that she is a general. You have to fight until the fifth round before you can see her." Yusuke said leisurely, "Never mind that you are taking advantage of your few resources. Her strengths challenge her few weaknesses, so you have no right to say it’s boring, right? The tennis club is lagging behind zero to one right now.”

"Well, that's fine too." The purple-haired woman flipped her hair, "Let's get back a few rounds first and then fight her again. By then..."

"Sorry, I can't do it..."

At this time, Little Boqi suddenly spoke.

"Ok?"

"I can't do anything like tennis...I won't be able to do it until any time..."

The sound was very small, but everyone heard it.

Everyone couldn't see her expression, but they saw the trash can turned over.

The whole place was quiet.

Even the provocative woman fell silent.

Pochi climbed out of the bucket, didn't look at anyone, and just shouted:

"Everyone, I'm sorry! I, Ichiri Goto, will go first!"

Then he ran out of the field as fast as he could.

I didn’t forget to take the trash can with me when I was running.

"Goto-san..."

Yoshihara Aina suddenly felt a stomachache.

It was as if I saw myself before.

But something seems to be different.

This wasn't even bullying or exclusion, it was just trash-talking to her opponents, and she couldn't bear the pressure and collapsed!

If she is not strong-willed, it will be useless no matter how many people speak for her.

"Ha, I knew it. It's just a potted plant, no, a vase."

Seeing Little Boqi escaping, his opponent's expression became even more proud, "You white knights, it's time to shut up. It's just because she looks cute that you stand up for her, right? After all, she herself doesn't dare to say a word in return. ."

"I want to shut you up first, Bitchi."

Itachi Hongxia raised her racket, and the people next to her couldn't tell for a moment whether she was going to hit someone or play ball.

She regretted bringing Pochi here.

"Senior Hongxia, I'm with you!"

Yoshihara Aina also volunteered with an angry look.

"Hmph, come on then!"

The purple-haired girl also called one of her little sisters.

The two sides stepped up their stance, and the war was about to break out.

"Hey, Kudo." Tokida Shinji walked to the other party's president, "Let me tell you, isn't it a bit too much? Isn't this a friendly match?"

"Sorry, Tokita, I didn't expect it to be like this."

Yusuke saw that Kudo's expression was quite solemn, and he probably didn't want to cause such a conflict.

"But, I want to stand on the side of our members this time." Kudo pondered.

"...Because I don't think she said anything particularly outrageous."

"...Ugh."

Yusuke sighed.

I had enough experience with this kind of shit in high school, and I had been on both sides of this kind of thing.

What about having no trouble and living happily?

But, there is no way.

People live in this world with so many inconveniences.

The world is neither a vacuum nor a utopia.Conflict, opposition, ill will, and negative emotions are all part of life, they happen often, and they are commonplace.

Should I get used to it?Or should we escape?

It's hard to say.

"Sister Azusa, I'm going to find her." He said to Hamaoka Azusa.

"Ah, I'll go too."

Azusa stood up, nodded to Nanahua, shook his clothes, and made no comment on what just happened.

"Let's split up and go."

"Ah."

...

At the same time, little Pochi ran out of the stadium with his head lowered and walked quickly on the bright streets in early summer.

The two steps she just ran were enough to make her panting.

Fair skin that doesn’t often see light can feel a little uncomfortable when exposed to the sun.

She didn't cry loudly, nor did she feel particularly sad.

Rather, this is the expected social interaction, this is what university is, right?

Not everyone is as pampered as PaB and everyone who ended the band.

I am already very lucky. Most of the people I meet in life are very good people.

I also know that the world is not a vacuum, nor is it an ideal land.Conflict, opposition, ill will, negative emotions, these are the most annoying parts.

Therefore, I can just run away.

Avoid all sight, try not to talk to people, choose to live alone rather than in groups...

Hasn't it always been like this?

Therefore, you shouldn’t come to this kind of place.

But...it was clear that my time in PaB was also very happy...

And speaking of it, it was indeed a diving club that I joined on my own initiative.

What's going on... You don't really think that your own nature can change, do you?

So contradictory, really contradictory.

After thinking about it, I would be out of breath even if I moved an oxygen tank!

I didn't bother to move after I got into the sea, I just found a place to stay, enjoying the cold and humid environment and the pressure of the sea water, just like in a closet.

From this point of view, it is better to stay at home, save money and trouble.

But the sea is beautiful, I really want to go there more times.

And the companions are also trying their best to protect themselves, and they undoubtedly care about themselves.

It's just... I really can't... I can't face people who hate me...

I'm 20 years old, but I'm still so fragile...I just want to run away after being spoken to...

No, it should be considered progress, right?My previous self might not even have had the courage to escape.I guess I'm already sitting in the soil now!

But it still embarrasses everyone, I'm sorry...

Little Boqi thought distractedly as he hesitated on the road.

Suddenly, she accidentally bumped into someone when she was unable to dodge.

"Hey! I'm sorry!"

When she raised her head and prepared to accept the anger of others again, she unexpectedly discovered:

I know this person!

Isn’t this Hayasaka Ai?

"Miss A?"

"Poch?"

Hayasaka Ai looked at her sad face with confusion.
