During the summer vacation, the swimming pool was in full swing. Many students came here to cool down.
Most of the students are playing. There is a girl Horie North bell from the starting point of the platform straight watching the end, slowly jumped into the blue water. The gesture was so beautiful that I didn't hear a sound. I firmly saw Horie's swimming posture in my eyes.
She's going back and forth, turning around quickly near the end.
I watched the clock time at the starting point and waited for horibai's return.
He raised his head from the water.
"Oh. Hard work "
" "
horibai looked down at me and sighed slightly. Then she slowly swam to the ladder and grabbed it.
"Did you see it? "
she asked as she climbed the ladder.
"Almost. You are the only one who seriously swims in the swimming pool during the summer vacation. "
most of the students are splashing water, playing ball or swimming circle with each other. They just have the idea of having fun.
"I didn't come here to play"
as if I was in a bit of a tantrum, he said to me.
"What are you doing? What have I done? "
" do you want me to say it myself? Did you threaten me and bring me to the pool? "
" don't talk about threats. It's hard to hear. I hope you can correct "
" Let it go. After all, the chance to practice swimming is very limited, which is just "
it seems that she stabilizes her mood with such optimistic thinking.
"You are very good at swimming. There shouldn't be anything to practice. "
for subjects like swimming that need sports, horibai has achieved excellent results. Maybe the evaluation of the school is also full mark. Even so, why didn't she improve her ability beyond the idea.
"Do you have any purpose? "
after I asked, horibai was a little silent for a while. Give me a slight stare.
"You don't play, you don't practice like me. What do you want to do? "
even if you ask me that, I'm troubled.
When asked "what do you want to do here", what is the right answer.
"Watch the human race. Just watching horibai will not be tired of "
" Can you stop saying such disgusting words "
she looks away and sighs. Just, she should know that I'm not serious.
"It was surprisingly interesting. Even though there are so many students here, you are the only one who stands out. "
on the one hand, hori North exudes the aura of" I have no friends ", while swimming in the vast pool. No, it's exactly the air of "I don't need friends.".
"Why don't you come for a swim? Maybe you will be sober. "
" don't follow the rhythm of "calm down your head" to advance the topic. "
" can you get out of there anyway? I can't get on "
I'm sorry - I said that, a little away from the ladder. Horibei climbed up from the pool. Tilt your head slightly and clean up the water. Seriously, if this guy doesn't talk, he's a beauty.
"You were thinking about the superfluous things, weren't you? "
" it's your illusion. "
I said this in a muddle and looked at her at will.
"Aya koji, did you just ask me if I had any purpose?"
"eh? Well, what's wrong with that? "
"…… Because I don't want to experience the miserable feeling that I don't think I need anymore "
the real idea of hori Bei revealed in a flash. This is also evidence that horibai himself is aware of his own shortcomings.
"Don't worry. You're not the kind of guy who can easily be defeated. "
" of course. There is no need for you to say "
horibai immediately took back his momentary weakness and walked away from me.
Probably, the reason why I paid attention to horibai when I was in school is -
