"Senpai Asano wants to run Hakone Ekiden because of his weird fetishes. ”

"Not really!"

"How is that possible?"

"It's really not, Kaga-kun, don't think about it, it's better to run well. ”

About, Senior Asano, why is he so stubborn to run, and stubborn to participate in Hakone Ekiden, is it because of that photo?

Is it because of his eccentricities?

Anyway, Sister Cauliflower directly gave a negative to it!

Interestingly, Sister Cauliflower is so negative, but she is almost sure of one thing, that is, Sister Cauliflower must know the truth.

At least Yojiro Takita can see this, as if it's not difficult.

But what's even more interesting is that Kyoichiro Kaga is in the middle at this time, and he has already formed a pair with Sister Hana, and the two of them are actually constantly discovering the secrets of the other 9 people in the race walking department.

The so-called secrets are their stories.

Asano's secret, Hana knows, but she doesn't say.

So, what is the truth about other people's secrets?

There is no simple answer.

The 10 members of the race walking department of Dongye University first got enough results through the record competition, and then they had to face the qualifiers.

The process of the record competition is the process of the secrets of 10 people slowly appearing, some of which have already appeared and can be reasoned about, but some of them are still confusing.

And the day before the qualifiers.

"Kyoichiro, do you want to know my secret?"

"Oh, ahem...... Senior. ”

It's embarrassing to be caught.

Kyoichiro Kaga faced Senpai Asano, and he had no choice but to blush and acquiesce.

But Senior Asano smiled, "Kyoichiro, can you answer my question first?"

"What's the problem?"

"What the hell is running?"

"This ......"

Again!

When Takida saw this, the pupils of his eyes dilated.

Sure enough, this question is the core.

But now, Kyoichiro Kaga did not give an answer.

Asano-senpai seemed to anticipate this, and he continued: "Let's go in order, if you can break out in tomorrow's qualifiers and get a very good result, then, I'll tell you my secret, why I participated in Hakone Ekiden, why I ran to Hakone." ”

In other words, the question of what exactly running is, will not be addressed.

After hearing this, Kaga nodded heavily, "Don't let me down with this truth." ”

In this way, the two of them set their tactics for tomorrow.

In the qualifiers, Kyoichiro Kaga, with the help of other teammates, fought for the last 5 kilometers.

This...

Yojiro Takita saw this, how could he not be familiar?

Did Mr. Ghost really write about his own experience in this one?

However, isn't it a bit bad to write like this?

Yojiro Takida thinks that if the truth about Senpai Asano is that he runs because he has a quirky fetish?

Is it because I like women's clothing that I want to participate in Hakone Ekiden?

Perhaps, this truth is indeed a bit nonsensical, but it is possible.

Well, the character of Asano has a prototype in reality.

If you write like this, aren't you afraid that Senpai Asano will sue Mr. Kigo for defamation?

I was really worried, and Takida wanted to look down even more.

Higashiba University has finally finished in the top 10, and they can finally participate in Hakone Ekiden.

This achievement made everyone rejoice, indulge in celebration, drink wine, and eat meat.

Exhilaration.

So, what exactly is Asano-senpai's secret?

"Wait a minute!"

When he was about to reveal the secret, someone exploded early.

It's Hosokawa-senpai.

"You guys, don't you all want to know why I don't eat tofu?"

Hosokawa's self-detonation is really attractive.

Everyone wants to know the truth.

But at this time, Kaga and Hana glanced at each other, and their expressions were a little strange.

Why?

It turned out that they had found some clues before.

Previous investigations have learned that Senior Hosokawa's family runs a tofu shop.

Shaodong, a tofu shop, didn't eat tofu, which was too strange, and the subsequent investigation.

Kaga and Hana once went to a terrifying place.

Cemetery.

So, is the truth in the cemetery?

At this time, Hosokawa-senpai said so.

"It's not that I don't like tofu, it's that every time I taste it, I don't think it's as good as what I produce at home. But, despite this, every time I eat, I unconsciously think of my mother...... I'm an idiot and can't do anything. ”

It turns out that the truth is like this!

Hosokawa-senpai's mother died before he was admitted to university because of a terminal illness.

This truth made everyone's joyful atmosphere suddenly low.

Let's talk about it at a time like this, okay?

However, Senpai Asano was still smiling.

Next, Hosokawa said, "So, I run, I used to have a road race car, and I like to ride a bicycle, but later, I like to run, and I don't ride anymore. For no other reason, the farther I run, the more painful it becomes, but the pain can make me forget a lot of things. ”

I see.

"It's great to be able to run with everyone. ”

After saying that, many people cried.

In such a situation, Senior Asano's secret will not have a chance to be exposed.

Seeing this, Yojiro Takida couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

He then looked down.

After the qualifiers, that's of course the real Hakone Ekiden.

Is there a truth?

There must be a truth.

"The first section, Arima. ”

Before Hakone Ekiden, the section is allocated.

And at this time, the truth came out again.

"Do you want to know why I'm training my arms?"

As soon as these words came out, of course, everyone was curious.

However, Kaga and Sister Caubana glanced at each other again, but this time it was different.

This time, the two of them smiled.

In the end, what is the truth about Arima's secret?

"My family arranged a blind date for me, and I originally refused it very much, but ...... You don't know, that girl is too heavy, 80 kilograms, oh my God. I don't train myself to be stronger, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on. ”

This...

160,160 premium benefits love story?

Everyone laughed.

This truth is too funny, isn't it?

Arima also said, "No way, in case I can't find a job after graduation, I still have to go home and rely on them, it's really aggrieved, but I always have to live, right, in addition, although the girl is fatter, but she is very good, I think, it is possible to take her for a run in the future, taking into account weight loss, if she can't run, I can hold her." ”

This is really a very simple truth.

When Takida saw this, he was very moved.

It's so simple, like everyday things, small details, but they can move people.

Arima quarreled with his family, but now he is still preparing for reconciliation, well, that's how he exercises his arms.

But the core of this is 'love'.

Is it true that he won't be able to find a job after graduating from college?

Do the parents at home really want to have complete control over him?

Perhaps, the parents have already seen the shining point of that girl.

And Arima should also be thinking of this, so he should be ready to go back to reconcile.

It's just that I didn't say these things clearly and clearly.

But this makes it even more real.

People always want some face.

Especially the Japanese, such as those middle-aged people who are unemployed, dare not tell their families, and then murder time in Internet cafes, isn't it just to save face.

Arima's move is deceptively simple, but full of details.

Onigo-sensei's writing is fantastic!

Is 'love' the core of the whole story?

But, what about Asano-senpai's secret?

At this time, another accident happened.

Kaga unexpectedly found another photo.

"Cauliflower, is this you?"

"Ahh ”

"It looks like it. ”

"You, don't ask more!"

The person in this photo looks a lot like Sister Cauliflower.

So, what's going on here?

The truth, the truth is out!

But while I was looking forward to it, the main race of Hakone Ekiden began.

Takida can't wait to find out the truth.

However, other people's stories have emerged.

The second section of the Ichihara Senior Run.

But in this process, Senior Ichihara slipped away again.

Why slip the number?

He saw a child with a newly bought soccer ball.

Obviously, this is a New Year's gift.

"Don't look, don't look. ”

It turns out that the story of Senior Ichihara is like this.

He originally liked football, and the football atmosphere in Japan is also very good.

However, in one of the games, Ichihara shoveled his teammate.

Of course, teammates are friends, and this injury also said goodbye to the green field.

Senior Ichihara was remorseful, and he couldn't continue to play.

That's why he started running.

It's just that every time he sees a football and a football field, he slips away.

That's right, the place where you run, the place where you record the race, there is a multi-purpose stadium, and inside the track is a football field.

And so the truth came out!

Takida felt that it was a little simple, but.

"Ichihara!"

In the pen of Mr. Kigo, a friend of Senior Ichihara shouted on the side of the road and responded.

After watching this scene, Takida couldn't hold back his tears anymore.

Falling down with a clatter.

Such a friendship.

It's too Japanese.

Wait a minute!

Takida was touched by a mess, but he immediately thought of a question.

So far, what are the truths about the stories of 11 people?

Parental love.

The love of parents for their children, and the feedback that children give to their parents.

That's what happened before.

Well, this is family affection.

What about the current Ichihara senior?

Camaraderie!

Absolutely, it's friendship.

Family, friendship, so what will happen after that?

Takida seemed to understand in an instant.

It must be love!

But how to write this love in such a reasoning about running?

Look behind me quickly, and keep flipping through it.

Finally, it came to the last section of the first day.

That is, from the foot of the mountain to Lake Ashi.

This is Kyoichiro Kaga's stage.

He started running.

When Kaga runs, his mind is constantly running.

"Thank you, Asano-senpai, thank you sister cauliflower, thank you Arima-senpai......"

He began by thanking almost all of them.

And after that, he already had the truth.

"Sister Cauliflower has already told me, so that's ......"

The truth is out.

The reason why Senior Asano is so persistent and has to participate in Hakone Ekiden is because he promised someone.

Even, the reason why I took such a quirky photo is because of that person.

A high school girl classmate that Senpai Asano likes.

"Smoke, can you grant me a request?"

"Whatever it is, I promise. ”

"That...... Can you put on a girl's clothes? Something pretty. ”

"This ...... Yes, I promise!"

"Haha...... Great, smoke you awesome. ”

......

"Can you grant me one more request?"

"Say it. ”

"I like to see how you look when you're running, so why don't you keep running? ”

"Good!"

......

"I've seen a movie where the heroine wants her ashes to be scattered on the red Ayers Rock in Australia, and I think she's very powerful, and it's beautiful there, but Australia is too far away, and I just want to scatter it here in Hakone, okay? ”

......

Seeing this, Takida's face was already full of tears.

Although he knew that this was something borrowed from "Calling Love in the Center of the World" from Mr. Kigo, it was indeed a bit inward, but he couldn't help but be moved.

And, there are details here.

Why did Kaga know these truths?

Because on the back of that photo, the name of the person in the photo is written.

The surname is cauliflower, and the name is smoked.

That's right, cauliflower smoked, the same name as Asano-senpai.

Also surnamed cauliflower.

These words were said by Sister Cauliflower herself.

Because she was there, Cauliflower was her sister.

At this point, almost all the mysteries in this book have been solved.

These may not be significant, especially those of traditional reasoning, which give people a sense of inner oppression, horror, horror, and so on.

But just these little stories of ordinary people.

The subtleties are more moving.

An old man could cry so badly, Takida really didn't expect it.

This is clearly reasoning as gently as flowing water, but it gives people an impact like a tide.

However, there is another truth.

That is, Kyoichiro Kaga, this new participant, did he find that answer?

Or, why didn't he run away before?

Or, why is it running away again?

The road up the mountain is winding and rugged.

Kaga's legs were very light.

"Yikei! Come on, Kaga-kun!"

It is the support of the cauliflower sister.

She put her hands on her cheeks and shouted with all her might.

Kaga ran harder.

What comes to mind is:

Before me, I had no direction, no courage, and many things.

But now, I've taken a step, and I've finally understood.

When you run, you have a direction.

That's moving forward.

No matter what, you have to move forward and face your life head-on.

Moving forward, whether you win or lose, slow or fast, at least you can get a lot of things.

What is running?

Running is life.

That's it for "New Participants: Hakone Ekiden".

When Yojiro Takida saw this last page, the old tears on his face couldn't help but stop.

All the previous affection, friendship, and love, have turned into a powerful force that inspires him.

"I'm going to make this movie!"

PS: The third one is sent, this one is original, I don't know if it's good or not, I hope you can like it, the black car sincerely thanks you for your support!
