CH 130

“Towa-kun! It’s morning~! Let’s get going today under the pleasant sun!!!”

“…There’s a lot of tension in the morning.”

This is a morning scene that has become commonplace by now.

Rin comes early in the morning and wakes me up.

In the beginning the wake-up was a phone call, but now it is a direct wake-up call.

In the past, it was a rather frightening awakening to find her right in front of me when I woke up…

Now, it’s rare for me to oversleep, so I no longer wake up and start blushing.

Rin had an indescribable look on her face, both happy and frustrated to see such a change in me.

So that’s my routine these days…

But… today, she never showed such a look, but was just very excited.

Well, it’s probably because of the sports festival.

“Now, Towa-kun. Shall we do the preparatory exercises carefully? Injuries can be a real hazard when playing sports. Let’s warm up our bodies and loosen up.”

“No, no, no. I don’t compete so much that I have to be careful, you know? I’m mostly just doing the chores that are assigned to me.”

“But you’ll be there a little bit, right?”

“Maybe~. But maybe I won’t be in the competition. So, if you want me to do it, don’t bother…”

“No.”

“Oh, yes.”

Pushed by the intensity, I responded reflexively.

It’s a given when I take this attitude.

Resistance is pointless. It is a waste of energy.

Well, there’s also the fact that it’s more certain to obey Rin.

I chuckled and cowered my shoulders.

“But what’s got you so worked up today? Rin doesn’t really like events that much, do you?”

“Of course not!”

“Yes?”

“‘Towa-kun is cheering me up’. That’s all I need …No, that’s why my intensity is exploding! Now I may not lose to anyone!! I might be able to win all the competitions!”

“I-I see. When Rin says it, I really feel like you can do it. Just don’t get too excited, okay?”

“Leave it to me! I’m already feeling so empowered. I’ve never felt so happy and excited!!”

Rin smiles and pulls out today’s sports festival program and looks at it.

Incidentally, this piece of paper Rin is holding of the sports festival program was not handed out by the school.

It’s a clear description of only her schedule for me and my class.

In other words, it was specially designed by Rin.]

The competitions that I might compete in and be cheered for were carefully highlighted and decorated with heart marks.

Even from this…, I could tell that she was really into it.

I’m honestly impressed with the preparation, but I don’t want it to spin out of control, so …

Well, let’s nail it, just in case.

“Hey, Rin.”

“What’s wrong? You suddenly look very serious…”

“No, ummm… I’m sorry to interrupt your … enthusiasm, but … Don’t have too much fun, don’t overdo it, don’t get hurt or anything, okay? I’m … worried about you.”

“Fufu. I’ll be fine. I won’t get hurt, okay?”

You know what I mean? Oh …, by the way, you don’t intentionally injure yourself so that you can come to me for medical attention, okay?”

“Haha, I would never do such a thing!”

“Hey, Rin. Look me in the eyes and tell me, no matter what I may think of your reaction, that’s exactly what I want you to say.”

“I can’t believe it~. During the break, I don’t intend to stand beside Towa-kun, saying that my legs hurt, you know? I have no intention of sitting beside you, you know.”

“Oh. So, can I take it that a woman never says two different things?”

“”……””

“… Do you know, Towa-kun?”

“Yes?”

“Women are liars.”

“…Tell me!”

“Nya!?!?”

Rin’s beautiful forehead turns a light red from the bump.

I didn’t do it that hard, but there was a nice thump.

Rin looked at me with a disapproving expression and pouted.

“Towa-kun is terrible…”

“This is Rin’s fault, you know?”

“Oh, my forehead is red … I guess I’ll have to ask you to take responsibility for this wound…”

“I’m not just going to roll over for free, hey?”

When I made a comment again, Rin stuck out her tongue a little and showed me a mocking expression.

I patted Rin’s head.

Then, as if satisfied, she narrowed her eyes and smiled at me.

The appearance is reminiscent of an adorable little animal.

It’s really foul … mocking but not sarcastic.

I was about to lose track of time and admire her, but I managed to shake off my evil thoughts and cleared my throat.

But Rin seemed to see right through me and smiled wickedly at me.

“……What?”

“No,no~”

“Um, … that’s right. Well, well, seriously. Rin, make sure you do your preparation exercises, okay?”

“Fufu. I know, of course. I don’t want to bother you, Towa-kun.”

“I see…, but if you can’t help yourself, you can count on me, okay? You don’t need to be afraid to ask for help.”

“I understand! I’ll come in all the time without hesitation.”

“You’ve got two extremes.”

Either you don’t come in at all so as not to bother me.

Or, if you get hurt, you stay close all the time.

I’m sure that in Rin’s mind, it’s a choice between the two~.

Well, if she’s going to compete in so many competitions, she probably won’t have time to come.

“Well, after eating, I’m going to head to school. Rin also has something to do as a committee member, right?”

“Yes, I do! So let’s eat a lot of food to cheer ourselves up.”

“Okay.”

I think katsudon is heavy in the morning, but…

But for now…

“Rin…”

“What’s the matter?”

“Good luck. I’ll be watching you. I’ll do whatever I can.”

“Yes! Well, may I take your word for it?

“Okay, but … now?”

“Well, the sooner the better, right? I always make a decision and act on it immediately.”

“Haha. I see, that’s like Rin.”

“Hmm. Aren’t you making a fool out of me?”

“That’s not true. I’m honestly impressed. So, what do you want me to do?”

“Isn’t it decided? Speaking of me, this is what I do.”

She came close to my chest and put her head on it.

This gesture, as if she had come to listen to my heartbeat, made my heart beat wildly.

I chuckled at Rin’s aggressiveness, which was bad for my heart in the morning.

“Can you give me an energy boost …?”

“An energy boost?”

Rin leaned her head toward me, looking me up and down with a wry smile.

I stroked her as requested, and she smiled with a somewhat disheveled face and said, “Energy filling~!”
