[Free! ] Dolphin rearing posture

Wrinkled her nose, Rui, who had never encountered such a situation, could usually be as expressionless as Haruka Nanase, but she must have been unable to calm down this time.

If it weren't for people who observe subtleties...how could it be possible to draw such vivid...paintings?

"Awei? Did you see Haruka there?" The footsteps approached, and Rui was so frightened that she hurriedly put the album back in her hand.

"No...no..." She tried her best to keep her expression as calm as before.

"That's it~ let's go down then." Higurashi Arisa urged her on the aisle.

"okay."

Everyone regrouped in the living room and sat on their knees. Ju Zhenqin opened the sliding door and sat on the aisle, looking at the backyard ecstatically.

"It's already so late, why hasn't Senior Yao come back..."

"Could it be..." Rei Ryuzaki said with a somewhat shadowed expression, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ye Yuezhu with an anxious expression on his face.

"Xiao Lian, don't say unlucky words with such an unlucky expression!"

"I haven't said anything yet...but..."

"Shall I go see Makoto?"

"Whatever, anyway, he is the biggest in your heart, isn't he?" Rui was still worried about what she saw just now, so she didn't complain about Arisa Higure as usual.

What exactly did Ah Wei see? Now she always feels a little different from her usual one, with less edges and corners and more softness.

Hmm... Now she really can't say anything from her standpoint.

Rubbing her hair, Arisa Higurashi sat next to Tachibana Makoto to chat with him.

When they thought of contacting Nanase Haruka with their mobile phones, Rui silently supported herself with both hands and got up.

"Hey, Miss Rui, where are you going?"

"He probably didn't even eat dinner, so I'll make something for him." Rui glanced at Matsuoka lightly, and said, "Well, it's not that he cares about him..."

"Sister Rui is as arrogant as ever."

"...That's, that's not it!" She didn't blush as before, but now Rui looked more thoughtful, looking at the three people in the living room, her eyes were clouded.

That's great, everyone's feelings are so good.

But once I think of Minamoto Yaya and her...and Arisa Higurashi who is now reluctantly laughing at them as usual...

She didn't know how long she stood in the kitchen, and she always felt that her ears were much quieter.

"Has Rui left yet?" Tachibana Makoto, who was still sitting in the aisle facing the backyard, asked behind her, "Ah... Speaking of which, Haruka likes to eat mackerel very much."

"..." Raising her eyebrows, Rui turned her face away resolutely, "Eating mackerel will always make you tired...I'll do something else."

"But now Rui is still very considerate, Haruka's mood."

"..." The movements in his hands stopped, and Rui lowered her head, not daring to look at Tachibana Makoto's face.

"Actually..."

"Where is Sasa now?" Interrupting Tachibana Makoto, Rui sighed softly, "...Sorry, at least for now, I don't want to recall everything about Nanase."

"She's asleep, I'll take her back later." Ju Zhenqin's eight-character eyebrows still curved gently, making him look like a man with warm male attributes.

"That's it...please." Ruyi turned around to open the refrigerator, carefully opened the fresh-keeping bag little by little, and then rolled up the sleeves, but what she took out was still mackerel.

Because there is almost no food in the refrigerator except mackerel, except for some vegetables and some fruits.

"Then... I'll be back later." Tachibana Makoto, who hugged Higurashi Arisa horizontally, opened the door, "On the table in the living room, Haruka's cell phone."

"Do you want me to play the tape for him, if he comes back when you're not?"

"Well, please." Tachibana Makoto smiled slightly.

Nanase Haruka turned on the light at home, and it was turned on by Tachibana Makoto who was going to send Higure Arisa back, but it was just the light at the entrance, and I didn't want to waste electricity in other people's homes, etc., waiting for Rui to finish all the cooking When it was brought to the dinner table, she moved her sore shoulder a little.

The moonlight is still outside.Even in the midsummer moonlight, it was still clear and cold.Faint, soft, like running water, it quietly pours into the room through the window, embellishing the floor in various mottled patterns.

Rui was playing with the mobile phone that was the same color as the boy's beautiful eyes, and when she was tired, she folded her hands and lay down on the table.

Soul Dan Nanase, let her wait so long.

Excessive death... There are many things that have not been settled with him before!

Wait for him to come back and see how she cleans him up.

The hands of the clock on the wall were heading towards 10:30, but Rui still didn't meet the person she was waiting for.

If she didn't want to ask him what happened to those paintings, she wouldn't be here, and she wouldn't cook for him or something.

Haruka, you should come back quickly...

She's never been out that long before... Mom and Dad will be worried...

The finger holding Nanase Haruka's phone moved, and couldn't bear the waves of drowsiness, Rui couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep.

**********

When the hands of the clock moved to a quarter past eleven, the door of Nanase's house was opened.

Nanase Haruka put her bag at the entrance to change her shoes, and then closed the door.

Strange, the lights should have been turned off before he went out.

But he didn't think much about it, grabbed the strap of the bag, and Nanase Haruka walked to the living room.

Then he froze.

The girl who fell asleep on the side of the coffee table in the living room had the same eyebrows and eyes as before, but she was as gentle as water, which surprised his eyes.Pushing her loose long hair away from her cheek little by little, he simply threw the bag directly in the living room and called her name softly.

"Rui..."

"Rui..."

"Rui..."

The only response to him was the sound of steady and slight breathing, presumably she was in a deep sleep.His eyes slowly moved down from her face, and he saw at a glance... the apron of his own that she had worn on her body at a glance.

Is it...?

He looked up at the dining table. The food on the table was obviously cold, and it should have been cooked for a long time.

The mackerel...the apron...and Rui Amami, who was sleeping in the living room...

There was a ripple in Nanase Haruka's sea blue eyes.

The girl who was picked up by him as a pillow on his lap turned slightly, and the thing in her hand fell to the ground, making some crisp knocking sounds.

Nanase Haruka lowered her eyes, picked up the phone that fell on the ground, and pressed the button.

"Xiao Yao, where have you been?"

"Please... come back quickly, everyone is worried about you."

"Senior Haruka, I'm sorry!—I secretly registered for the mixed relay for you without telling you!——"

"Yes, Xiaoyao, so let's swim together tomorrow!..."

"Senior Yao, don't worry about me, I will get all the theory in my mind before tomorrow morning!"

"Xiao Lian, you are a failure flag!——"

After the message was played, those pair of blue eyes filled with confusion were filled with the warm light from the message, and...

He lowered his head slightly, watching Rui's hand carefully tugging on his coat.

"Xiaoyao?"

"I want to participate." Turning her head to look at Makoto Tachibana with a somewhat happy expression, Nanase Haruka's tone also brought a touch of warmth, "Relay."

"Ok!"

"Hey... Rui hasn't gone back yet?"

"I'll carry her upstairs first." Nanase Haruka paused, her gaze drifted towards the direction of the dining table, "Indeed... a little bit."

"The feeling of heartbeat has been there for a long time, Xiaoyao." Tachibana Makoto rarely teased Nanase Haruka.

Nanase Haruka blushed and turned her head away, hugged Rui who was still asleep, and walked upstairs.

**********

When the eyes are opened, there may be a little light in the eyes.

But for Rui, who was just half asleep and half awake, it still felt a little dazzling, she subconsciously used her hand to block it, but soon, as if remembering something, she suddenly froze and sat up immediately.

The environment of the room...is not like...not tatami...

More sacks of balls!Should... Shouldn't...

Constantly breaking out in cold sweat, she pushed herself off the bed with her backhand, pulled the curtains aside, and opened the window.

Not what she sees every day when she wakes up!

So here should not be...

"Morning, Rui."

"Huh...?" Seeing Tachibana Makoto, Rui looked a little surprised, as if her brain hadn't been able to function in time, "What's wrong...?"

"Come down for breakfast." Tachibana Makoto's eyebrows seemed to melt because of something, "Xiaosha is here too."

"...Oh." When Tachibana Makoto was about to go downstairs, Rui remembered what she wanted to say, "Tachibana-kun, wait a minute, where is this?"

"Remote home."

"..."

"I called."

"……Oh."

"Aunt Tianhai... agreed, and I didn't blame you."

"...Ah, is it?"

"Ah."

Looking at the mackerel with bread in front of her, Rui couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, picked up the bread, and looked at the person who made the breakfast, but the latter's sea-blue eyes were as calm as ever.

"Do you eat mackerel every day?"

"...Because it's delicious."

"...you'll get tired of eating every day." Or is it about Nanase Haruka who had a grudge against mackerel in your previous life?

"You don't have to eat if you don't like it."

"It's rare for someone to cook, of course I have to try it."

"...Ah." Feeling uncomfortable behind her back, she glanced at the back slightly, Tachibana Makoto and Higurashi Arisa were biting their ears lightly at this moment, and glanced towards them from time to time.

...Hey, don't pretend that she didn't see it, speaking of these two people showing affection, it doesn't matter the occasion!

Looking back with a face full of liver pain, Rui just looked at Nanase Haruka who was sitting opposite her, and picked up the bread.

bite.

Uh, the inexplicable taste is great, and her cooking skills are in a different realm, Ciao.

"...You did pretty well." Putting the last piece of mackerel into his mouth and chewing carefully, Nanase Haruka said unhurriedly after swallowing it, and turned his face away after speaking , didn't give her a chance to see the look on his face at all.

"Ah...thank you." Why did she feel that her heart was beating so fast, and the rhythm was inexplicably regular, every movement and every movement and so on.

Then when everyone was ready to go out, Makoto Tachibana took Arisa Higurashi with one hand, and held up the phone with the other hand and started calling everyone, telling them the good news that Haruka Nanase was willing to participate in the mixed relay.

Hazuki Nagisa and Ryuzaki Rei arrived a little late, but they said they had been practicing the mixed relay, so Matsuoka nodded and forgave them.

Everyone is also full of fighting spirit this time, after a bit of sluggishness yesterday.

"...Hey, stop." Before they were about to go to the game, Rui stood up and called Nanase Haruka.

Nanase Haruka paused, turned her head and looked at her quietly, waiting for her next words.

"Thank you... you." Ruyi rubbed the corner of her clothes with her right hand, and took a few steps forward, her gaze was not at Nanase Haruka, but at other places, "And... come on, Haruka."

When she finished speaking, Rui ran back to Teacher Tianfang's side with a flushed face and sat down again.

"Come on, Makoto~ I will cheer for you!~"

"Thank you, Xiaosha." Compared with the somewhat pink atmosphere here, the atmosphere there is more sugary.

"Hey, Wei, if Yami is here too—" Higure Arisa's hair on top of her head swayed just like her legs that were swinging at the moment.

"Pfft, with her personality... she will definitely work hard." Rui looked towards the sky, "After all... she is the president of our school."

"Even if she didn't come to the scene and came directly to cheer, she must have been here."
