Shugo Chara: Be happy today too

——. [Day 8]

The next day.

“Ahhh… Why are you running suddenly…” Yameng’s words whizzed past, and Konghai led her forward bravely.

Somewhere on the lawn nearby, there was a picnic blanket where Aoki Yasu, Yui, Nadeshiko, and Miya were sitting, leisurely drinking tea and eating snacks.

After Qing Muan gloated over his misfortune, he thought of something and asked hesitantly, "Isn't it the same when I'm training?"

Nadeshiko was startled when she heard this, then laughed out loud, "How could that be? An-chan's usual dance training already consumes a lot of energy, so she just needs to experience some sports entertainment with Soma-kun."

Because he only goes to Fujisaki's house to learn dance on Saturdays, Mrs. Fujisaki will arrange some homework for Aoki Yasu to practice for a while every day, and Nadeshiko will take time to guide and supervise Aoki Yasu.

That’s good… Qingmu An was relieved.

When Kong Hai heard Yameng's doubts, he gradually slowed down, and then the two of them slowed down and stopped steadily.

Aoki An and the others looked over in surprise and saw Kong Hai saying something to Ya Meng, and then he started running with Ya Meng.

Aoki An tilted his head: "Yameng-chan seems a little unhappy."

Were you scolded by Kūkai?

Nadeshiko thought of something and smiled: "I should explain Joker's special mission to Amen. Amen is a good kid with a kind heart."

“…” Hey, hey, hey, you don’t have that much Dayameng.

However, Qingmu An understood. She looked at Yameng who was running out of breath, and thought, this is probably what everyone does when they are young, they always give themselves some inexplicable responsibilities.

What were her responsibilities as a child? Studying?

After Amen finished her running training, it was her turn to listen to Fuko's lecture about the bad guys that the guardians had encountered in the past and how to deal with them if they encountered them themselves.

Aoki Yasushi sympathized with Yameng for not being able to rest more. Kong Hai finished a glass of water and said, "Well, I should go to the football club for training, too."

"Hey? Do you still have strength?" Ya Meng, exhausted, was shocked.

"Just running." Kong Hai said proudly, and then shouted to Qing Mu An, "Let's go, An."

Hmm? What's up with her?

Aoki An's eyes were blank.

Kong Hai was stunned for a moment, then he said with a hearty smile: "It's your turn to practice."

After saying that, he grabbed Aoki An's wrist and strode towards the football field: "Then let's go!"

Miya waved: "Bye!"

——.

football field.

Aoki An was dragged to the viewing lawn in a daze, made to sit on the ground in a daze, and then two new bottles of mineral water and a clean handkerchief were stuffed into his arms in a daze.

"Just watch me train here. After the training, I'll take you to experience it again." Seeing that Aoki An was still in a daze, Kong Hai couldn't help but rub his head. "Don't run around. I'm going to change into my uniform first."

“……” Qing Mu An watched him run away.

Then I heard a few girls nearby screaming.

"Ahhh, isn't that the new guardian?"

"Why did Lord Kukai bring her here personally?"

"It seems to be her too, the girl who talked to Kukai-senpai last time!"

"Master Kukai gave her the water and the face cloth."

"My Lord Kukai!"

……

The voices were so loud and outrageous that Qing Mu An subconsciously looked over, and saw a group of girls holding up "Soma Kukai" cheering signs and staring at her with gnashed teeth.

"..."Kukai's fans...

Qing Mu An turned his head silently.

"Damn it! She actually ignored us!"

“……”I didn’t hear it. I ...

After a while, Kūkai came back wearing his uniform and reported to his coach.

There was no competitive training this time. The coach asked the players to repeat the individual actions of kicking and passing the ball. The process was boring. Although they were simple body movements, they made all the players sweat profusely and their limbs sore.

Kūkai was focused and serious, and gradually more beads appeared on his forehead.

Even Daichi, who was asked to stand guard next to Aoki Yasu, followed along and practiced the moves.

Aoki An is actually not a person who can calm down very well. Ever since she got sick, she always wanted to do something to divert her attention, or simply do nothing, lie down for a few hours, and then fall asleep.

But I don’t know why, but when I saw the players training seriously, I felt inexplicably calmer and my mind gradually went blank.

After thirty minutes, it's time to take a break.

Kong Hai ran over, took the water from Qing Mu An's hand, and drank half of it. He saw Qing Mu An's expression from the corner of his eye, twisted the bottle cap and asked, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

No, I didn’t think about anything. My mind was blank.

The answer he often said was suddenly stuck in his mouth. Aoki sat on the lawn and looked up from this angle. Kongkai was bathed in the sun. He could not see the other person's expression clearly, but he could notice the sweat oozing from his forehead.

She suddenly didn't want to say that sentence anymore: "Football training is so boring and hard, but you can still work so hard and persist."

"..." Kong Hai didn't expect Aoki An to say that. He wanted to rub his head again, but when he raised his hand, he noticed the sweat on his palm and had to put it back, "Of course, because we both love football."

Love...football.

Aoki An's heart moved slightly, and the red egg in the bag also shook.
