One day in June.
Under a blue sky, Aoto’s class was practicing their events in their homeroom for the upcoming gymnastic festival.
“Hey ……! Kisaragi-san, you’re too early!!”
“Eh, I’m sorry.”
The pained voices of his classmates echoed on the ground.
Aoto’s class is currently practicing their free event, “Ball Rolling.”
“A little too fast …….”
“I thought it was a relatively normal pace.”
“I was running by myself from the halfway point, though!”
The blonde pony-tailed beauty, who was moving forward at a faster and faster pace, leaving herself behind, conveyed the complaints of her paired classmates.
After all, the athletic Noa is as fast on her feet as any of the boys.
“Moou, you’re a boy, you’d better keep up with me.”
“Y-yes. …… uhehe.”
“What are you laughing at? scary”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
The classmates are happy and laugh at Noa’s precious words.
Although Noa is nothing more than an S, her beauty and personality are attractive to boys.
“Noa’s partner, definitely a lot of work,…… that.”
“Yes, it is. Noa has always been fast on her feet,…….”
Even from a distance, Aoto and Koharu can immediately tell that their classmate is being bullied, and they have a conversation expressing sympathy for their classmate.
“It is true. If you ask me. I mean, isn’t Koharu the same way?”
“Well, I think I’m the fast one too. And also Himari. When we were little, the three of us used to play running games together.”
“Hee~? I can’t imagine what it’s like to be in the same situation now….”
“Whose fault is it, Aoto kun?
The beautiful woman with flowing black hair glared at Aoto while puffing out her cheeks.
“Yes, sorry.”
“…However, we often talk over smartphones. We’ve been talking a little bit at school lately as well.”
“Eh, Do you talk a lot through your phone?”
“Well, yes. We talk about Aoto-kun, Aoto-kun, and Aoto kun”
“…… is all about me, isn’t it?
Koharu is now “exposed ” and does not have to hide it like she did at the waterworks, so she comes out.
In fact, since all they did was talk about Aoto (a bragging contest), it was inevitable that they would answer that way.
“Yes, that’s right. –Afterwards, did Himari and Noa also tell you that they like you?”
“Eh, yeah? How do you know?”
Aoto probably didn’t say that either, but for some reason Koharu knew about it.
Aoto did not know about the nightly bragging contests among the three most beautiful women in the world.
“I told you. All we talked about was Aoto-kun.”
“No, that’s true, but …… I thought it was about favorite food, or favorite subject. ……”
“You don’t know the girls well enough to know that. We don’t talk about such trivial things.”
“T-Trivial? You say that?”
“More importantly, did Himari and Noa tell you that too?”
“……, well, yes.”
“Hmph, let’s practice quickly.”
Along with Koharu, who was puffing out her cheeks and looking a bit unhappy, Aoto also began practicing rolling the ball.
“Aoto kun, you’re on the right, okay?”
“Okay”
“I’ll try my best on the left.”
Aoto and Koharu get into position to begin practice.
Koharu says she is on the left, but she is in the middle because she wants to touch Aoto.
“Koharu, I think that’s in the middle, not left. ……”
“Eh, I’m sorry. I’m just a little stuck on it.”
“It was right in the middle though”
“Tehe”
Yozakura Koharu is one of the three beauties who shows her destructive smile only to Aoto.
She is usually a classy girl, but the devilishness she sometimes shows takes all the romance out of a man’s life.
“Are you ready, Aoto-kun?”
“Oh, I’m fine.”
“Let’s go.”
“W-Wait a minute, Koharu.”
“What is it ……?”
Koharu was ready and was about to start.
But the atmosphere in her eyes was obviously not right, so Aoto decided to stop her for once.
“Um,……, are you planning to go really fast,……?”
“……, how did you know?”
“No, the eyes! That eyes!”
Koharu was looking at Aoto, who was said to be loved by Himari and Noa, and was extremely jealous of him.
She had already heard from Himari and Noa that they said “I love you” during the bragging contest, so it wasn’t like she didn’t know, but when Aoto said the truth directly, even Koharu became jealous.
“I don’t want to lose to Noa. Or rather, I don’t want to lose to Himari either.”
“I understand that, but…”
“I don’t want to lose from practice. Here we go.”
“Eh, I’m going to be like Noa’s pair now ……?”
Aoto approaches practice, prepared to be swayed.
Aoto is also someone who can’t exercise, but he doesn’t dislike it.
On top of that, the three great beauties are generally athletic enough to surpass that, so there is no way out.
“I’m going this time.”
“…… Okay.”
After confirming that Aoto’s posture had entered the running posture, Koharu said, “Don,” and began to run.
Immediately after that, Aoto was relieved from the bottom of his heart, saying, “I’m glad I was prepared …….”
“Hey ……, hey, hey, you’re going too fast!”
“Aoto-kun! Please follow me!”
“Not that!”
“Come on!”
“Koharu, you’re pushing the big ball all by yourself! Your strength is ridiculous!”
Koharu is running by herself, leaving Aoto behind.
Aoto is not that surprised because he knows she is athletic by nature, but her classmates, who know nothing about her, were awestruck and asked, “Is she perfect at sports too?” and fawned over her.
“Moou, you are slow, Aoto-kun.”
“No, Koharu is too fast. ……”
“Himari and Noa can keep up with me, though.”
“That’s the power of childhood friendship,…….”
“That’s right. But I want Aoto-kun to follow me through the power of love.”
At the very end, Koharu adds a blurb with great destructive power.
Perhaps Koharu’s own power of love had awakened, and she then ran around like a runaway, completing about five runs.
“Can I go …… for a drink of water for a minute ……?”
“Nn, are you tired?”
“Koharu-san,……we’ve already run ……5 runs,…….”
“In our old days, we used to run ten times.”
“I’ll get old!”
“Fufu, okay, go ahead,”
Koharu looks relaxed, and Aoto is sweating.
Apparently convinced that he would die if he didn’t drink water, Aoto headed towards the water tap outside the gymnasium.
“Ha… I’m going to die, really …….”
Aoto arrives at the waterworks, looking pathetic compared to Koharu.
Well, maybe Koharu is just an anomaly.
“–pfft, are you dying already?’
Just as he was about to drink the water, he heard a voice from behind him and turned to see Noa there.
Noa, too, now that Aoto knows she likes him, is a little less shy and can talk to him normally.
“No,…… Koharu…..too fast.”
“What are you talking about? You’re so weak, Aoto.”
“No, no, no, Koharu.. Gohohoho.”
“Haa? It’s crazy to drink water while talking…wait, you’re dying.”
“Goho …… haaaa …… recovery.”
Aoto was nearly drowned because he drank water in the middle of talking, but he recovered quickly because he was too tired.
“So, how many runs you did with Koharu?”
“Five. ……. That’s too much, isn’t it?”
“Too much? Eh, are you that tired after five?”
Noa looks at Aoto mockingly.
“No, it’s just a normal death. How many times did Noa do it?”
“……10 runs, though?”
“Eeeh? Ten!?”
“That’s normal”
Yeah, it’s not natural by any stretch of the imagination.
It’s twice the size of Koharu’s, but there’s no way it’s natural.
“Eh, What’s going on with your pair?”
“He’s stronger than you. He’s there without drinking water.”
Does being a “strong man” mean that he is a normal person, unlike Aoto?
Aoto looked in the direction of Noa’s finger to confirm.
“No, he’s fallen down….”
The classmate who had fallen down in a crumpled heap was no longer talking about strong or weak.
Thanks to the classmates who taught firsthand how hard being Noa’s pair was.
Ah, heartlessness. Thank you for your hard work.
“I mean, aren’t you going to drink some water?”
“I’m not really tired. Even Koharu and Himari didn’t drink.”
“They are already fighting at that level too. What are you …… doing here then?”
“It’s fine. I just happened to be passing by and saw you.”
Noa is showing off her usual charms.
It is unclear where she was headed, but the fact that she went all the way to the waterworks and said “by chance” is a very Noa-like reason.
Of course, Noa says her destination is not the waterworks, so she must be heading somewhere from now on.
“How nice…..mouu.”
Aoto replied to Noa who suddenly muttered something like that, “Hmm?”
“Eh, ah, nothing! Pretend you didn’t hear that!”
“No, you said how nice”
“Shut up! It was nothing, really!”
“Eeh?”
In order to find out the truth behind her words, he asked Noa just a little bit, but her cheeks suddenly flushed and she said,
“It’s just that I said it unconsciously! I also want to be paired with Aoto… Himariand Koharu are always sneaky… after all! It’s nothing!”
“That’s impossible,…….”
“Shut up! bye!…… good luck.”
With a blush on her cheeks, Noa left the waterworks with her blonde ponytail shining in the sun.
By the way, since she returned to the place of her classmate who was lying on the floor in a heap, her real destination must have been “Aoto”.
After all, the occasional dereliction of character has a destructive power that only Noa can bring out.
After seeing Noa off from behind, Aoto also returned to Koharu.
Memories of the three most beautiful women, playing games.
It is a simple game, but even so, it is rooted in memories, perhaps because they have known each other since childhood.
–Aoto had no way of knowing that the fight between the three beauties, or rather, the “memory game,” would take place immediately afterwards.
