The youth story of Nohara Shinnosuke is too problematic, right?

"Trouble?" Kojima was stunned: "This is the highest event in the high school kendo world. Are you not interested at all?"

"I'm not very interested in honors and the like. I practice swords just... well... purely for fun."

"This..." Kojima didn't know what to say, he didn't expect that Xiaoxin would not be interested in this competition.

"By the way, who are the popular players from other schools participating in the competition?" Xiaoxin suddenly asked.

Kojima thought for a while: "This year, the hottest one should be Saeko Busushima. She is the representative of Fujimi Academy. She is a class older than us. At the same time, she was also the champion of the previous class."

"The last champion? Can you still participate this time?"

"Yes, this is a national high school competition, regardless of grade. The champion can also participate again."

"In addition, besides her, there is another promising rising star in this class, who is in the same class as us... I have fought against him since the junior high school kendo competition, and I was defeated by him every time..."

Speaking of this, Kojima couldn't help clenching his hands.

"His name is... Yoyogi Kojiro..."

"Yoyogi?!" Xiaoxin's eyes suddenly lit up: "It's Yoyogi-kun? Are you sure?"

"Uh...right..." Xiaoxin's sudden excitement caught Xiaodao off guard.

"I want to participate!! I want to participate in the kendo competition!!"

……

So, at around five or six o'clock in the evening, Xiaoxin did not go home, but found a river embankment where there were no people, and practiced swinging a sword by the embankment.

"Yoyogi-kun... I haven't fought Yoyogi-kun for ten years."

"If he knows that I have learned his nirvana windmill, I don't know if he will show a surprised expression? emm... maybe it will be a gratified expression."

Xiaoxin is not very interested in the ranking competition of the kendo competition. He has only one goal, to meet Yoyogi again on the field, and then, the two will have a long-awaited competition.

He is such a person.

And just as he was practicing swinging his sword, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.

"Xiaoxin? How come you happen to be here too?"

This gentle and familiar voice was none other than Nanazi.

Chapter 190: Don’t let down any girl

Xiaoxin was standing by the river embankment, halfway through swinging his sword, when he heard the familiar, melodious, and wistful voice, he immediately turned his head and followed the sound.

"This voice is... Sister Nanazi!"

I saw Nanazi wearing light sportswear, as if she was running.

"Sister Nanazi~!" Xiaoxin was so happy to see it was really Nanazi: "Why do you happen to be here?"

"I'm just running. I haven't exercised for a long time. I want to warm up." Nanazi smiled and said, "This embankment is quite suitable for jogging. I just came here. I didn't expect to see you. Are you Are you... practicing your sword?"

"Well... I heard at school today that there is a kendo competition, and I plan to participate, so I practice here."

"Really? It seems that Xiaoxin, you really enjoyed your youth~"

Seeing Nanazi's smile, Xiaoxin's heart throbbed.

"That... Sister Nanako..."

He coughed lightly and looked at the dark sky: "Look, ahem, it's quite late now, it's just time for dinner~"

"Oh, what a coincidence, just so I'm a little hungry~ Sister Nana, what do you think?"

He rubbed his belly, although his tone sounded quite comfortable, he was actually extremely nervous, and kept peeking at Nanako's reaction.

Hearing Xiaoxin's hint of an invitation, Nanazi paused slightly.

At the end, she said: "Really? Xiaoxin, you are indeed in puberty. At this time, your body grows. The more you exercise, the easier it is to be hungry!

"Basically, like me, the more you exercise, the more you will forget your hunger."

"Yes...really..." Xiaoxin felt embarrassed and a little lost.

He had no choice but to stretch out tactically: "Well, then, I'll go have dinner by myself later. Sister Nanazi, just...just keep jogging. Be careful not to fall. It's getting colder." The darker it gets, there might be pebbles on the ground or something like that.”

"..." Nanazi looked at Xiaoxin's strenuous face, her heart moved, and she suddenly said: "But...it's strange, I was running and running today, and I suddenly became hungry."

"How about later, let's go have dinner together. I just know that there is a good family restaurant nearby."

"!!" Hearing this, Xiaoxin, who had already turned his head away in embarrassment, turned back instantly.

"Really? That's great~!! Cough, I mean...well... After all, jogging consumes calories, and Nanazi also needs to eat dinner to replenish her strength~"

He wanted to be as calm as possible in front of Nanazi.

So, the two of them went to a nearby family restaurant to have a simple dinner.

Nanazi has been here a few times before, and she has already decided what to eat.

She gently closed the menu and looked at Xiaoxin.

Interestingly, Xiaoxin was actually just pretending to be looking at the menu, but actually peeking at Nanazi. When Nanazi's eyes swept over, he immediately turned his eyes back to the menu.

"Xiaoxin, have you decided what to eat?"

"Yes! Sister Nanazi." Xiaoxin was nervous for a while, and said nonsense: "For the wedding occasion, choose the church."

"I'm asking you to decide what to eat, not this~"

Nanazi smiled: "Don't be so nervous, Xiaoxin~"

Her eyes were always soft, complicated and a little sad.

Indeed, she just came to the river embankment for a jog. This was her habit when she was troubled.

And when she saw that familiar figure practicing swordplay by the river embankment, she was actually a little hesitant at that moment.

Last time, at Xiaoxin's home, she had already told Xiaoxin that she hoped that Xiaoxin could spend more time in school and in her youth.

Therefore, her original plan was to try not to take the initiative to get too close to Xiaoxin. Before Xiaoxin's birthday, she just sent a message to wish him a birthday instead of going there in person.

She could have pretended that she didn't see Xiaoxin, continued jogging, and staggered away from him, but when she regained consciousness, she had blurted out accidentally and called him.

When Xiaoxin hinted that he wanted to invite her to dinner, she was really shaken and refused in a tactful way at first. But at that moment, she felt a faint feeling of discomfort in her heart, and when she saw Xiaoxin's forced face , she was still moved and agreed.

【I just... want to chat with him, just to know how he is doing recently, have you met more friends, have you started dating, will the schoolwork be difficult...】

[I just want to see if there is anything that can help him and give him some advice... Well, that's all...]

She convinced herself.

"Okay... I, I'll just order an omelette rice." Xiaoxin closed the menu and called the waiter to come over and order.

After ordering, the waiter took back the menus for the two and poured water for them.

While waiting for the meal to be served, the atmosphere seemed awkward and ambiguous, Xiaoxin took a sip of water tactically, looked out the window, and looked for something else to say.

"Today's weather...it's so nice~ It's sunny outside and the air is fresh~"

He looked at the scenery outside which was already dark at night, and said so.

"Hehe~" Nanazi pursed her lips: "Isn't it already dark now? Xiaoxin~"

"You can also say that~"

"…Little new."

"Yes!"

"No need for Xiaoxin like this~ I just care about your recent situation~" Nanazi tried to use a relaxed and caring tone: "There is only one month left in this semester, right? How do you feel about life in the first year of high school? How about making some new friends, or joining some club?"

"Yes! Uh... I, I joined the football club, baseball club, uh... tennis club, swimming club..."

"Join so many departments? Are you busy?"

"...No, I didn't add these..." Xiaoxin originally wanted to brag in front of Nana that he had joined many popular sports clubs, but he finally decided to tell the truth: "I just... founded a small club by myself. It’s just the service department…”

"Serving Department?"

"Well, it's just a small department..." He said: "This department is mainly to accept commissions and help people in need. Currently there are only two people... It's just a small department, unlike those big popular clubs There is no comparison~"

"No, I think this club is very powerful." Nanazi's beautiful eyes showed approval.

"Helping others, I think, this is very suitable for Xiaoxin. Xiaoxin has always liked helping others, right? I think if you can really help various classmates in high school, it will be more powerful than joining those sports clubs. .”

"Really, is it really..." Xiaoxin was very excited after being praised by Nanazi. He blushed a little and smiled sheepishly.

"So, where are your friends? Has Xiaoxin made any good friends?"

"Are you a friend? Yes, besides Kazama Duan, who I have known before, there are also Hayama-san, Tobe-san, and the rest seem to be girls, Yukino-chan, Yumeko-chan, Shinomiya-san, Fujiwara-san... "

Speaking of this, Xiaoxin suddenly stopped talking and looked at Nanako nervously.

"What's the matter? Keep talking~" Nanazi couldn't see any disturbance, and smiled, "Isn't this very good? I've started to meet girls of the same age. Do you like any of them?"

"They and I are all friends..." Xiaoxin was about to say hastily, but Nanazi interrupted: "Think about it carefully, especially... ahem, don't take me into consideration, take out my part first Come on, do you like any of these?"

She said, her face still a little red.

"Emm... this... although I have a good relationship with them, but... I haven't thought about this issue."

"Really, then, do they like Xiaoxin?"

"Like me? I'm short! How is that possible? Although I often boast that I am popular and attractive, but that's just rhetoric. I still know how much I have."

"Maybe there is someone who really likes Xiaoxin? Xiaoxin, you are so kind. Girls who get along with you will definitely like you~"

"Be careful, always be aware of girls' moods, Xiaoxin, sometimes, they won't speak so clearly, and besides..."

"Don't disappoint any girl's heart, whether you like her or not, don't make her feel sad."

Nanazi is like a personal life mentor and love consultant.

"...Well, I...I see, Sister Nanazi..." Xiaoxin didn't know why Nanazi said that suddenly, but he still nodded.

In fact, he is not really an idiot. Taking Yumiko as an example, he can actually vaguely feel that Yumiko doesn't seem to like Hayama as much as before, and Yukino's words, although she still has a poisonous tongue for herself, but that feeling But it's not the same as before...

Soon after, the meal arrived.

“The food in this restaurant is not bad, and the price is quite affordable~”

Nanazi ended the topic just now and chatted about other trivial matters. The two of them just ate together, as if nothing happened just now.

Chapter 191: Fireworks Display

"If Xiaoxin is eating, will I disturb him if I suddenly line him up now?"

"What if he hates me or feels bored because of this?"

"What's even more frightening is... If Xiaoxin is not interested in the fireworks festival at all... then, why don't I..."

In the Shinomiya Villa, Shinomiya Kaguya has been staring at the line for more than two hours, but still has not made any move.

Ai Hayasaka just stood behind her like this, watching her mutter all the way from seven o'clock to nine o'clock.

"Miss, I don't think Nohara Shinnosuke is eating. You don't have to be so hesitant..."

"How could it not be? It's seven o'clock in the evening, it's time for dinner..."

"It's already nine o'clock, Miss."

"What? Time flies so fast?"

Kaguya looked at the time on the upper right side of her phone, and it was really already nine o'clock.

"It's nine o'clock in the blink of an eye..."

"Because the eldest lady has been wasting time and worrying meaninglessly. In the past two hours, there may be other girls who have invited Xiaoxin, and she was preempted."

"I...I know..." Kaguya was sweating, his face was slightly red: "I'll pass it on to him now..."

"Wait a minute, it still doesn't work, it's already nine o'clock, what if he is about to go to bed, won't I disturb him..."

"==_=#" Hayasaka Ai couldn't stand it anymore, an angry zodiac sign appeared on her forehead, and she grabbed Kaguya's cell phone with one hand.

"Since the eldest lady can't muster the courage, then I will help the eldest lady send the message."

"Wait a minute, Hayasaka, give me your phone back, no..."

Hayasaka Ai's hand speed is very fast. With a few swipes, the message has been edited and sent out with one click.
